Qin Qinghan couldn't help but notice the intense and fiery look in Ye Fengwu's eyes, which made her more cautious. She quickly grabbed her clothes and hurried to the bedroom.
Bang~!
The bedroom door was tightly shut. However, Ye Fengwu did not hear the sound of the door being locked. Could it be...?
Thinking this, Ye Fengwu stubbed out his cigarette and walked straight to the bedroom door.
Click~!
As he pushed open the door, he immediately saw Qin Qinghan and her daughter lying on the bed. At that moment, Jing Si had already fallen asleep next to Qin Qinghan.
Qin Qinghan, like a frightened bird, tightly curled herself up in the blankets, her wary eyes glistening with tears.
"Darling, where should I sleep?" Ye Fengwu asked softly, seemingly afraid of waking Jing Si.
Qin Qinghan knew that all his gentleness was false, that sooner or later, his rough claws would stretch toward her.
But soon, Ye Fengwu found where he was supposed to sleep. The narrow floor had obviously been covered with a blanket. Such a thoughtful wife.
Without hesitation, Ye Fengwu lay down on it. It was quite comfortable and had a faint pleasant fragrance.
However, when Ye Fengwu looked up at Qin Qinghan, he saw that she was still staring at him with a vigilant look, her pale hands tightly clutching the blanket in front of her chest.
Ye Fengwu sighed, "If you feel uncomfortable and can't sleep, I can sleep on the couch in the living room tonight."
"Okay!"
Ye Fengwu had thought his act of self-sacrifice would evoke some pity from Qin Qinghan, but her cold and emotionless reply made his mood plummet to the bottom.
With a disheartened expression, he picked up the blanket and left the bedroom. "I really should stop pretending to be serious."
The next morning, as the family was still asleep, Ye Fengwu, who was used to waking up early, went downstairs to stretch and bought some breakfast.
Of course, his efforts didn't earn him a single smile from Qin Qinghan.
Qin Qinghan was dressed in a light blue professional suit. Although she wasn't wearing makeup, she still looked elegant and refined.
She didn't have breakfast but told Qin Zhi and his wife, "Mom, Dad, please take Jing Si to school. I'll pick her up in the afternoon."
After that, Qin Qinghan quickly left. Today, she had to go to Fenghao Engineering to discuss a project. If successful, she might earn a commission. After all, Fenghao Real Estate was one of the top companies in Haihua City.
"I'll go with you," Ye Fengwu called out.
However, the only response he got was Qin Qinghan's graceful back.
At this moment, Yang Yu spoke up, "If you really want to live in this house, then find a decent job. Don't let Qinghan bear the burden alone."
After speaking, Yang Yu and Qin Zhi left to take Jing Si to school.
Ye Fengwu snorted and muttered, "Guess it's time to find a job."
Of course, by "find a job," he wasn't referring to actually looking for a job but rather continuing his secret mission after returning to the city.
Ye Fengwu took out his phone, dialed a number, and said, "Lin Qiang, where's the address of Luohuang Group?"
Haihua City was an autonomous city in China, home to many commercial giants. Qin Qinghan's destination today was Fenghao Engineering, located in Haihua City's development district.
It was said that within two years, Fenghao Engineering would build a high-end villa area covering thousands of acres. Countless companies were desperate to collaborate with Fenghao, as the profits were enormous.
The project department of Fenghao Engineering was located in a large, two-story temporary building on an open lot. When Qin Qinghan parked her low-end Chevrolet at the foot of the building, many people around her cast disdainful glances.
Among them were workers and young men with tattoos on their arms.
Seeing the Chevrolet, a low-end car, these young men looked down on it. After all, the companies that came to discuss collaboration every day were mostly driving luxury cars.
However, when Qin Qinghan, dressed in professional attire, stepped out of the driver's seat, all eyes immediately turned to her in admiration.
Some even whistled.
In this chaotic construction site, it was rare to see any woman, let alone someone as breathtakingly beautiful as Qin Qinghan.
"Hey, beautiful, what brings you here?"
At that moment, a few young men gathered around, their eyes sizing up Qin Qinghan's curvaceous figure, their gazes filled with lewd smiles.
Although Qin Qinghan had long been used to people staring at her, knowing that this was the territory of Jin Bao, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
But she still braved it and said, "Hello, I'm Qin Qinghan from Qin Group. I'd like to meet your person in charge to discuss a project."
When the young men heard that such a stunning beauty had come to discuss a project, their expressions immediately changed. One of them smiled and said, "Follow me."
He then led Qin Qinghan to the two-story temporary building.
Soon, the young man brought Qin Qinghan to the door of an office.
"Brother Bao, someone's here to discuss a project," the young man called out.
"Get lost. Don't bother me while I'm resting," came a rude voice from inside.
The young man chuckled and said, "Brother Bao, you won't be disappointed."
Saying that, the young man pushed the door open and gestured for Qin Qinghan to enter.
"Dammit..."
Jin Bao, who was half-reclining in his office chair, was about to curse when the door suddenly opened. However, when he saw Qin Qinghan's delicate figure and stunning face, the burly man with a short buzz cut instantly froze, swallowing the curse he was about to say.
At that moment, Jin Bao felt as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline. His eyes went bloodshot. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before.
But soon, his amazed gaze turned lecherous, and he quickly smiled at Qin Qinghan, "Oh, you're here to discuss a project. Please, take a seat."
He then grabbed a bottle of wine and two glasses, pouring them full.
Qin Qinghan's brow immediately furrowed. This office not only smelled unpleasant, but there was also a wine cabinet, a bar counter, and even a large bed.
She already had the intention to leave.
At this moment, Jin Bao waved his hand at the young man, signaling him to leave. He looked at Qin Qinghan and smiled, "Which company are you from?"
The young man understood immediately and left with a sly smile, closing the door behind him.
Seeing the door close, Qin Qinghan felt even less certain. She took a deep breath and said, "Hello, Mr. Jin. I'm Qin Qinghan from Qin Group. I'm here to discuss a potential partnership with Fenghao Engineering. I hope you can give us the opportunity."
Jin Bao's eyes glinted with a playful smile as he looked at Qin Qinghan's curvaceous body and beautiful face, "Ah, so you're from Qin Group. I've heard that Qin Guangnan has a granddaughter with an extraordinary beauty, who was defiled when she was sixteen. That should be you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qinghan's face turned visibly pale. This was an unerasable stain in her life. Every time it was brought up, it felt like a knife was cutting through her heart.
Her voice turned stiff as she replied, "Mr. Jin, Qin Group is willing to reduce our profit margins to a minimum, just to collaborate with Fenghao. So, are there any other conditions you have?"
Jin Bao's face remained lecherous as he replied, "Manager Qin, you should be aware that this project is huge, and many companies are offering similar terms to Qin Group. Some companies would even forgo their profits just to cooperate with Fenghao. So, why should I give this opportunity to you?"
After speaking, Jin Bao sat back in his chair, then pulled another chair next to him, motioning for Qin Qinghan to sit. "How about sitting down and discussing things properly?"
Seeing the chair beside him, Qin Qinghan frowned deeply. She wasn't stupid and immediately understood Jin Bao's intentions.
She wanted to turn and leave, but thinking about the mortgage that was about to be due, and the possibility of losing this deal, which could cost her her job, she braced herself and walked over.
She adjusted the chair slightly to keep a distance from Jin Bao before sitting down.
Jin Bao's eyes remained lecherous as they stayed on her curves, but Qin Qinghan's conservative professional attire kept him from getting any advantage.
Seeing her resistance, Jin Bao's face darkened, and he pushed a glass of wine toward her, saying, "Manager Qin, let me be honest. The cooperation on this project is entirely up to me, Jin Bao. If you want to earn this fortune, then... drink this wine and lie on that bed."
"Afterward, you'll receive a handsome commission, and you'll also get my care."
With that, Jin Bao reached out his fat hand toward Qin Qinghan's thigh.
