Qin Beiting: "..."
That share of stock, left to him by that man on his deathbed, he had never cared about.
He hated that man. Did he think that leaving him that small amount of stock could atone for the sin of deceiving his mother's love? Could it change the fact that the Qin family had forced his mother to her death?
He didn't need it!
He just hadn't expected that this matter could also be used by the little girl to prove his sexual orientation?
"The legal marriage age in our country requires the woman to be 20 years old," he said.
Yu He:?
"So it's not that I don't want to get married, it's that the girl I like hasn't reached the legal age yet."
Yu He:!
This was too much information, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. "You're not gay..."
"No!" Qin Beiting interrupted her firmly.
"Then when you were working, you were looking at..." Yu He suddenly felt that this was no longer important. What was important was, "You actually like someone?!"
What kind of girl would be liked by this man?
Qin Beiting looked at her deeply, his lips moving. "Yes."
Yu He looked at him, and a kind of unspeakable bitterness surged in her heart. "Then you still..." seduce me!
No!
This man's moods changed as quickly as he turned pages. She didn't know how much of what he said was true and how much was false.
She couldn't be deceived by him!
At this moment, she realized that she didn't actually know much about this man.
Seeing her hesitate, Qin Beiting placed his large hand on the back of her head. "Still what?"
"You haven't proven that what you said is true!"
Qin Beiting frowned at her guarded expression. "How do you want me to prove it?"
Yu He: "..."
How would she know how to prove such a thing?
"You... Mmph!!!"
Yu He's eyes widened, her dark pupils reflecting the man's handsome face close at hand. The soft touch on her lips made her mind go blank.
Her first kiss!!!
Yu He immediately pushed him away, her face flushed with anger. She raised her hand to slap him, but Qin Beiting caught her wrist.
"Does this prove it?" He pressed the back of Yu He's head with his other hand, their foreheads touching, his eyes hazy as he looked at her.
Yu He's eyelashes fluttered. She pressed her hand against his chest, preventing him from kissing her again.
As sharp as she was, her mind seemed to have frozen. It was a mess, and she spoke incoherently, "How could you... You clearly like someone..."
Seeing her flustered, Qin Beiting found her incredibly cute. Every cell in his body screamed to pull her into his arms, to possess her, and to keep others from coveting her.
His gaze was burning. "Don't you understand now?"
Yu He's heart felt ignited by his intense gaze. Her earlobes burned, her eyelashes trembled. She hurriedly lowered her head, afraid to meet his overly passionate gaze again, fearing that her last shred of reason would be consumed as well.
"Let me sort this out first." She forcefully broke free from his hand and pushed him away with both hands against his chest.
"However you want to sort it out, I'll do it with you."
Qin Beiting blocked the office door, preventing her from leaving.
He realized that he could no longer let her slowly understand and guess his feelings as he had before. He had to tell her directly and clearly, otherwise, he didn't know what kind of huge misunderstanding might occur.
"I can't distinguish the truth from the falsehood of what you're saying right now."
"Which of my words made you doubt?"
Yu He remembered the awkwardness at the hot spring village last time. "Last time at the hot spring village, you clearly pushed me away!"
"..."
As expected, the little girl had misunderstood.
Qin Beiting reached back and locked the office door, then walked towards Yu He step by step.
"Baby, have you forgotten your age? Playing with fire when you're underage is very dangerous."
"..."
Yu He's retreating steps were blocked by the heavy rosewood desk behind her. She had nowhere to retreat.
Qin Beiting moved closer, leaning into her ear, and whispered, "I'm a normal man, I have desires. I can't withstand your repeated testing at the edge of transgression.
"Besides, your brother watches me like a wolf or a tiger. If I didn't push you away, wouldn't he come with a knife to chop me?"
As he spoke, his warm breath brushed against Yu He's ear, sending a shiver down her spine and stirring her heart.
Who was testing whom!
She leaned back, her hands gripping the edge of the desk behind her, watching the man who was now within arm's reach with vigilance.
"Two days ago, your little lover came looking for you, and you still went out with him!"
Qin Beiting chuckled, finding it both amusing and exasperating. "Do you know how many people want to get into your Brother Ting's bed every day? Men and women, with all sorts of strange reasons. Can they all be my little lovers?"
Yu He: "..."
This tone... it sounded rather proud?
"Don't worry, I've always kept myself pure for you." Qin Beiting lifted her chin, his eyes fixed on her lips. His thumb gently caressed them, as if reminiscing about the kiss just now.
Yu He's heart trembled. She glanced down at his lower half, and asked suspiciously, "Have you never even been with your left and right hands?"
Qin Beiting: "..."
Qin Beiting: "Are you sure we want to delve into this issue?"
Yu He: "..."
Yu He: "The topic seems to have become a bit too much."
"Yes, if it continues like this, the situation might even get out of control," Qin Beiting said with a serious expression.
"...Then let go!"
Qin Beiting's lips curved. He suddenly leaned forward. Yu He thought he was going to kiss her again and placed her hands on his chest. Before she could push him away, she felt a warm kiss on her forehead.
She froze, forgetting to struggle.
Qin Beiting let go of her and took a step back. "Do you have any more questions now? My girl."
Yu He turned her back, picked up the coffee on the desk, and took a sip. "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't agreed to you yet!"
Qin Beiting shrugged. "It's only a matter of time."
"Heh, President Qin is quite confident." Yu He gave a perfunctory smile. "I don't fully trust you yet."
Just then, Qin Beiting's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and said to Yu He, "It's okay, we have plenty of time. Before that, I think you'll be more interested in the matter of Qin Meimei."
Yu He's eyes lit up. She glanced at his phone and urged him to answer it quickly.
Qin Beiting chuckled and answered the call. "I'm at Shengda Venture Capital. Come over and we'll talk face-to-face."
...
In a dilapidated small hotel.
Gu Yan was eating dry bread. When she saw her phone screen light up, she immediately clicked on the message.
A Pig: [The express delivery shows it has arrived. Remember to pick it up.]
Gu Yan quickly stuffed the bread in her mouth and replied: [Okay.]
She found a hat and a mask, disguised herself thoroughly, and quietly opened the door. Just as she was about to go out, several men suddenly rushed in and pinned her to the ground in a few moves.
"Police. Don't move. Gu Yan, cooperate with us and return for an investigation."
