The service staff had already brought over plates of exquisite and attractive dishes as soon as the order was placed.
Lan Qianqian smacked her lips, impressed by how good the presentation was in this upscale restaurant. The dishes were even more appealing than the plates.
Qin Haojie chuckled inwardly at her slightly gluttonous expression. He picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of food, and placed it onto Lan Qianqian's plate. "Since you're feeling better, eat up quickly."
Lan Qianqian didn't stand on ceremony. She dropped a sentence, "Senior, you eat too," and began to eat. She was truly hungry.
As she ate happily, Qin Haojie watched her, his face filled with doting amusement.
At a dining table a few seats away, the server looked at Li An helplessly.
She had initially asked him what he needed because he looked handsome, but he hadn't spoken, so she could only turn her attention to someone else.
Li An saw that the president was staring over there and knew the president wasn't in the mood to eat. He waved his hand, signaling the server to retreat.
As the server left, she cast a disdainful glance. The two of them didn't seem poor, so why were they here to freeload tea? Little did she know, the tea here was top-notch.
After the meal, the server approached again, holding a bouquet of bright red roses. She walked up to Lan Qianqian, "Hello, Miss. Please accept our flowers."
Lan Qianqian looked at the server in surprise. "We didn't order flowers." Besides, did the restaurant sell flowers?
The server's smile remained unchanged. "We're currently running a promotion. If you spend a certain amount, we'll gift you a bouquet of flowers. So, please accept them, Miss. We wish you a happy life and a blissful marriage."
There was such a thing? But the flowers smelled so good. Lan Qianqian accepted them with both hands, smiling sweetly. "Thank you!"
"You're welcome. Free fruits will be delivered shortly. Please enjoy them at your leisure." With that, the server smiled and left.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Qin Haojie found Lan Qianqian's enraptured expression inexplicably endearing.
Lan Qianqian nodded vigorously. She couldn't afford flowers before. It was only later, when she followed Han Han, that she saw several beautiful types of flowers. She really liked flowers; they were fragrant and made her feel much better.
As she was admiring the petals, a piece of fruit was offered to her. Lan Qianqian turned her head to look.
Qin Haojie raised his hand and teased, "I'm getting tired holding this. You should eat it quickly."
"I..." Lan Qianqian was about to say she could do it herself when a piece of fruit was already in her mouth. Seeing that the perpetrator had already started eating, she didn't bother anymore. She chewed and swallowed a few times. Mmm~ so sweet.
Immediately, she forgot about the flowers. She was quite full now and wanted to eat some fruit to aid digestion. Upscale restaurants were indeed different. The flowers and fruits they gave were fresh, and of good varieties.
On the way back, Lan Qianqian was very happy. The rare moment of relaxation made her feel utterly refreshed, both mentally and physically. However, there was one point she wanted to make: "Senior, you can't pay for the next meal. If you do this again, I won't be happy!"
Seeing her pouting and looking a little angry, Qin Haojie had no choice but to nod. "Okay~"
At most, he would bribe the service staff next time.
Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Xuan Corporation. Lan Qianqian hopped out first, waving goodbye to the person in the car with a beaming smile. "Goodbye, Senior!"
Yes, it was really good. Her eyes had regained their brightness. "Goodbye."
Qin Haojie drove away only after watching her enter the company.
Meanwhile, Lan Qianqian walked into her department with light steps, then sniffed the flowers again. So fragrant, she loved it so much~
"Very happy?" A voice like it was from hell echoed.
Lan Qianqian took a moment to recognize who it was. Turning her head, she saw Xuan Mohan, who was walking in step by step.
If anyone else saw this scene, they might have been unable to stand. But Lan Qianqian was so happy that she didn't notice.
Smiling, she raised the flowers. "Smell this..."
"Splat~" The flowers fell to the ground with a strong force. The smile on Lan Qianqian's face froze. "What's wrong with you?"
Why did he knock her flowers down and look at her like that?
An even colder voice sounded, "I asked if you are very happy right now?"
Lan Qianqian paused for a moment, not understanding his meaning, but she still nodded.
"It's good that you're happy!" Xuan Mohan's lips curved into a bloodthirsty arc. He bent down and scooped her up horizontally.
"Ah! What are you doing?" Lan Qianqian was startled. She quickly hugged his neck. But if he was going to hold her, why was he holding her so tightly? She could barely breathe.
Xuan Mohan carried her directly to the CEO's office. Upon reaching the door, he kicked it open with a "bang" and strode into the inner room.
Even Lan Qianqian, despite her denseness, could tell something was different. He was unhappy, and very unhappy. "What exactly..."
"Mmm~" Before she could speak, she was thrown onto the bed. Before she could react, Xuan Mohan's heavy body pressed down on her.
"You..."
Xuan Mohan fiercely sealed her mouth, and his hands began to move.
Sensing what Xuan Mohan intended to do, Lan Qianqian began to struggle. However, the difference in strength was too great; she couldn't budge him at all. So, she started to punch and kick him.
Xuan Mohan abruptly lifted his head from her. His large hand roughly gripped her chin, his eyes turning terrifying.
"What, you find me disgusting now? Lan Qianqian, haven't I treated you well? Hmm?"
In what way had he not considered her? He had always respected her wishes and refrained from touching her, and this was the result?
Perhaps because his attitude towards her had been a bit off today, Lan Qianqian also got a little angry. "Didn't you say you wouldn't touch me if I didn't want you to? Then what are you doing now?"
Xuan Mohan sneered. "Wait a little longer, and you'll probably be in another man's arms. Is my concern not enough for you, or is the money not enough? Lan Qianqian, tell me." The force in his hands also unconsciously increased.
He suddenly remembered something and immediately got off Lan Qianqian, walking towards a cabinet. He entered a password and took out a stack of cards, throwing them at Lan Qianqian.
"Is this enough? If not, I have more. I just remembered, I've only ever bought things for you, never given you money. You're so poor, seeing that I haven't given you money, you found another source of income, is that it, Lan Qianqian?"
The sarcasm on Xuan Mohan's face stung Lan Qianqian. How could he say that about her? He belittled her to worthlessness. She had always earned her own money; when did she ever need charity?
And what was he doing, scattering money at her? Was he insulting her? Or did he think he could buy her with money?
Lan Qianqian lowered her head, hiding the tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly moved to leave the room. Here, she only felt suffocated. So, this was how he had always seen her... no different from those women outside who coveted his money and power.
Unexpectedly, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and it felt like her bones were about to be crushed. His voice was icy. "Is that so?"
He had never been willing to say a harsh word to her before; every action of his had been incredibly gentle. Had he stopped liking her, or lost his patience?
Lan Qianqian said with a hint of self-abandonment, "Think whatever you want."
"Good, good!"
