330: Caught in the act

Caught in the act

Xi Ting assured Qin Yan, "I would have taken action if I liked her. It's never my style to be passive."

Qin Yan was speechless. She wasn't going to deny that. He was truly a man of action. Hence, he couldn't have liked Nie Mianmian.

"Is there anything else?" Xi Ting touched her nose playfully and continued, "You can continue your interrogation any time you want. I'll answer to the best of my ability."

Qin Yan lost her curiosity at his honesty. She didn't have many things that she was curious about too.

She shook her head and replied, "I've nothing else that I want to ask."

"Are you sure?" Xi Ting replied dejectedly, "Think about it. Is there nothing that you're curious about?"

"There's one question…"

"Hmm?"

"Ah Ting, what do you like about me?" Qin Yan asked with a serious face, "You're attracted to my looks, right?"

Qin Yan seriously wanted to know the answer to her question.

Xi Ting was speechless. He recalled what Qin Yan had said to Nie Mianmian. She had claimed that she got together with him because of his good looks. Even though he knew she wasn't serious, he was curious about what she really thought of him.

So he asked her in return, "Are you asking this because you got attracted to me by my looks?"

Qin Yan was shocked by the question, "But I asked first…"

"You can say that.." Xi Ting looked at Qin Yan, "But I was not attracted to your looks per se. Instead you can say that I was attracted to your personality."

"You're just my type. I knew it the first time I saw you," Xi Ting had never bottled up his feelings in front of Qin Yan. It wasn't the first time that he pronounced his love for her.

But at this moment, Qin Yan was touched. She would be touched no matter how many times he professed his love for her. Who could resist him?

"I've given my answer. It's your turn now," Xi Ting said as he held her chin up. Even though he appeared calm, he was actually nervous and excited about her answer.

He was waiting for her reply while feeling two very conflicting emotions. He was afraid that the answer might disappoint him. But he was excited about what the answer would be too.

"I…" Qin Yan opened her mouth. Just as she was about to answer, someone knocked on the door.

Tong Chunian's voice called, "Chairman Xi, are we still having the meeting? Everyone is waiting for you in the meeting room."

The sudden sound displeased Xi Ting. He wanted to postpone the meeting. However, he realized that he had a lot of matters to attend to, so he frowned and let go of Qin Yan's waist.

"I have a meeting now," Xi Ting said unhappily. It was as though he was being forced to do something against his will. He then continued with a low voice, "You can think about my question in the meantime."

Tong Chunian knocked on the door again as Xi Ting didn't respond, "Chairman Xi, are you there?"

Normally, Tong Chunian would have entered already. But he wasn't going to do it this time. Who knew what Chairman Xi could be doing with Lady boss in the office? He wasn't going to ask for trouble.

The door opened with a loud noise. Tong Chunian looked up and saw Xi Ting exit the office with an unhappy expression.

Tong Chunian swallowed his saliva and nervously said, "Chairman Xi."

"Hmph."

Xi Ting walked past him expressionlessly. Tong Chunian was left speechless. Chairman Xi was definitely angry.

Could it be that he interrupted Chairman Xi's intimate session with Lady boss just now?

As he thought about it, Tong Chunian grew fearful. He thought that he would soon be sent to another country to suffer.

He quickly followed up and tried to explain it to him, "Chairman Xi, I was sent here by Chairman Chen. He has some important documents that needed you to go through."

Hence, it wasn't his fault. He was innocent. Chairman Chen should be the one suffering instead.

Xi Ting stopped right in front of the meeting room. Tong Chunian, following behind him, also stopped.

Tong Chunian then carefully asked, "Chairman Xi?"

Xi Ting turned around and stared at him. When he felt Xi Ting's cold gaze on him, Tong Chunian was so nervous that he couldn't breathe.

"In the future, don't let anyone except Qin Yan up here without my permission. Also, don't let anyone into my office. If this happens again, you can start packing your bags for Country F."

Tong Chunian, worried that he would be sent away, was speechless.

On the other side.

Inside the room, the woman straddled the man's legs and coquettishly started to unbutton the front of his shirt as they sat on the couch.

The man she was straddling was instantly enchanted by her charms and caressed her cheeks. The two soon engaged into a passionate kiss that they didn't notice that someone was standing before the room they were in.

With glowering eyes filled with hatred and unshed tears, Qin Muran looked at the two in shock as they continued to kiss passionately and not caring about who could see them.

The man sitting below the woman was her fiance, Xi Yaohua, while the woman he was holding right now was none other than his secretary, Song Mei.

Holding the door knob until her fingertips turned white, Qin Muran felt extremely awful. She had been away for a couple of nights because she had a fight with Xi Yaohua. She had her own suspicion that he was cheating on her and keeping mistresses behind her back.

But who could have known that the mistress was just right before her eyes!

A couple of days ago, Qin Muran had confronted Xi Yaohua and asked him if he was cheating on her. But instead of admitting to her accusations, Xi Yaohua convinced her into thinking that she was overthinking and the only woman he will love in this life will be her.

Xi Yaohua even convinced her to focus on her studies instead of thinking about this nonsense. But since Qin Muran couldn't let go of her suspicions, she returned without telling anything to Xi Yaohua.

Now seeing this scene, Qin Muran didn't know if she should laugh or cry. If she hadn't returned, she might live her life as the stupidest woman in the world! She might even invite the snake into her own house while playing as the clueless wife of the year!

Qin Muran's hands formed into a fist. Her nails dug into her palms almost drawing blood from it. Wiping the tears that were threatening to drip down her cheeks, Qin Muran turned around to leave.

She ran straight to her car in the parking lot. When she closed the door, she took a deep breath and released it.

'No, she couldn't loose Xi Yaohua. She had snatched him from Qin Yan with so much effort. How could she let go of him?' Qin Muran thought.

After crying for a while, Qin Muran's eyes regained the sparkle as an interesting thought came into her mind. She wiped her tears away before driving back to her place.

Xi Ting left the office before 5 pm. Tong Chunian also left work with him.

Tong Chunian was elated. While Xi Ting was in the toilet, he earnestly said to Qin Yan, "Lady boss, please come to the office to accompany Chairman Xi more. Chairman Xi is more productive at work every time you come."

He could even leave work before 5 pm. In the past, this was impossible. Before Lady boss came into his life, Chairman Xi was a workaholic. He worked overtime till 9 pm or 10 pm every day. Sometimes, he would even work till midnight.

Looking back at those days, Tong Chunian still felt mentally tired.

Now, he hoped for Qin Yan to come every day so that he could leave work early and enjoy a blissful and peaceful day.

Qin Yan was speechless.

"It's true, Lady boss. From now on, please come and visit Chairman Xi regularly," Tong Chunian sincerely advised, "Although Young Master did not express it, he hopes that you can come and accompany him more often."

"Personal Assistant Tong, actually…." Qin Yan glanced at him.1

"Lady boss?"

"Actually, you are the one who wants me to visit."

Tong Chunian giggled.

Qin Yan exposed his wishful thinking and said, "This way, you can leave work early."

Tong Chunian giggled even more.

Qin Yan waited for Xi Ting to end work. They went for a candlelight dinner and a movie afterward.

They bought the movie tickets for the last row seats of the cinema. The movie started, and the lights were dimmed. The cinema was pitch-black.

After a short while, Qin Yan heard some noises from the side. She followed the sound and took a peek, awkwardly realizing that the couple beside them were kissing passionately.
