Chapter 51 - Unique Taste
Chapter 51: Unique Taste
“I took it seriously.”
Ma Qingxue’s tone was calm. She sounded normal, but her gaze was serious.
Qin Chuan was stunned.
Zhao Xuanxuan was equally shocked. Her eyes were wide with disbelief.
“Aren’t you happy?” Ma Qingxue lifted her head. A smile hung on the corners of her lips. Her eyes locked on Qin Chuan’s eyes.
At this moment, Qin Chuan’s mind was completely blank. It felt unreal, as though he was in a dream.
After regaining himself, Qin Chuan subconsciously shuffled backward. He smiled half-heartedly and said, “Lawyer Ma, you can’t joke around like this.”
Ma Qingxue stepped forward. Her tone remained very calm, but she looked more sincere. “I’m not joking. From today onwards, you and I are a couple.”
Even after receiving confirmation from Ma Qingxue, Qin Chuan still couldn’t believe it.
After all, this was so sudden.
He was not prepared at all.
At this point, Zhao Xuanxuan shouted, “Big brother, sister-in-law already took charge. Why aren’t you responding?!”
She didn’t forget to cheer Qin Chuan on.
Qin Chuan couldn’t find words to speak, but he was cursing Zhao Xuanxuan in his thoughts.
Qin Chuan calmed down and looked at Ma Qingxue. Finally, he mustered his courage and said, “Lawyer Ma, I admit that I do like you.
“I also know that you were hurt emotionally not too long ago.
“I don’t like taking advantage of others, but if you need someone to rely on, I’m willing to be that person. I can act as your knight.”
These words touched Ma Qingxue. She even felt like she could rely on him.
On the other hand, Zhao Xuanxuan was also shocked.
She had never imagined that Qin Chuan could say such words.
She could not help but feel a little sad.
Although they weren’t biological siblings, they were closer to each other than real siblings.
When she was young, she instinctively thought she would have all of Qin Chuan’s love and attention.
She never wanted to share him, and the same went for herself.
After growing up and experiencing so many things, she gradually understood that there were some things that she could not control.
However, when she thought about Qin Chuan being with another female, she couldn’t help but feel down.
After hearing Qin Chuan’s words, Ma Qingxue couldn’t help but think about what he was implying.
Qin Chuan gave her plenty of time to think things through. He wouldn’t force her when it came to matters of the heart.
…
At the same time, a black MPV quietly drove into Qin Chuan’s estate.
A few burly men were inside the vehicle.
They were the Eagle Guards sent by Li Zhongyang.
“Second Master, we are below the target’s home. What should we do next?” Someone asked Li Zhongyang.
“Stay where you are and wait for them to come out. Make sure you stay hidden. Don’t leave any tracks.”
“Understood!”
…
Gold Sea City.
Inside a building, Li Zhongyang hung up on an Eagle Guard and immediately dialed another number.
The owner of this number was Zhao Xuanxuan.
“Hello, are you Zhao Xuanxuan?”
“This is Manager Yang from Three Rivers Real Estate.”
“The company had a meeting with the Bureau of Industry and Commerce when you came for your last interview. New employees have to be registered in person. Are you free to register now?”
“Oh… you’ll take a while! How long will you be? Let me know so that I can inform my colleagues on duty.”
“One and a half hours! Sure, sure. Sorry to trouble you.”
After hanging up, a sinister smile appeared on Li Zhongyang’s face.
…
In the apartment.
Zhao Xuanxuan was getting ready in front of the dressing table, while Ma Qingxue sat at the dining table, savoring Qin Chuan’s semi-burnt food.
Qin Chuan stood awkwardly at the side.
Ma Qingxue had become his girlfriend, but Qin Chuan wasn’t particularly happy.
To Qin Chuan, he didn’t understand Ma Qingxue at all. So they still couldn’t be considered a true couple.
He didn’t even know if they would continue to be a couple.
A few minutes later, Ma Qingxue finished eating.
Her lips were slightly black as if she had applied dark lipstick.
It couldn’t be helped. The eggs had been overcooked.
Honestly speaking, it was really hard to swallow.
It was difficult to imagine what Qin Chuan put in the ingredients to produce such a flavor.
Ma Qingxue found it strange and was curious about Qin Chuan’s culinary skills.
Qin Chuan wore a bitter smile on his face. He knew how his food tasted, and it wasn’t good.
Before he met Ma Qingxue, the only person who could eat all the food he made was Zhao Xuanxuan.
However, Ma Qingxue had unexpectedly finished it all. That really surprised him.
Ma Qingxue stood up, wiping her lips with a tissue. She smiled at Qin Chuan. “The taste is very unique.”
Qin Chuan was stunned. He scratched his head and giggled. “Is that so?”
Besides Zhao Xuanxuan, Ma Qingxue was the first person to praise him for his cooking.
For a time, Qin Chuan gained more confidence in his culinary skills.
“Why don’t you stay for lunch?” Qin Chuan offered tentatively.
“Okay!” Ma Qingxue readily agreed to his offer.
Qin Chuan was surprised. He didn’t think that to be so easy. Restlessness washed through his heart.
It just so happened that they still had some seafood left over. He could go buy some meat and vegetables later to make a scrumptious lunch.
…
Half an hour later.
Zhao Xuanxuan was dressed up.
“Brother, I’m going to the company,” Zhao Xuanxuan said.
Qin Chuan replied, “I’ll go with you.”
Zhao Xuanxuan rolled her eyes and said graciously, “You should stay behind and spend time with sister-in-law!”
Then, she whispered in Qin Chuan’s ear, “Brother, you know what happens when a man and a woman are left alone in the house. You can do whatever you want.
“There are so many options: the balcony, bathroom, sofa, and more. You can try them all. ”
After Qin Chuan heard this, he was speechless.
He had watched many Japanese adult films, so he naturally knew what Zhao Xuanxuan was talking about.
But, how does she know all this? Did she also watch them?
Qin Chuan could no longer remain calm after thinking that.
Just then, Ma Qingxue suddenly said, “I can’t stay here.
“My car is still parked at the bar, right? I’ll go and pick it up.”
Right when Qin Chuan was about to say something, Zhao Xuanxuan interjected, “Big brother, go and accompany sister-in-law to get her car.”
Qin Chuan rolled his eyes, desperately wanting to teach Zhao Xuanxuan a lesson.
Why are you calling the shots now?
Ma Qingxue looked at Qin Chuan. “You’re my boyfriend. I won’t object if you want to come along.”
“Ah…” Qin Chuan was stunned.
Zhao Xuanxuan pushed Qin Chuan to Ma Qingxue, who then proceeded to hold onto Qin Chuan’s arm.
Qin Chuan froze.
Zhao Xuanxuan cringed at her brother. “Brother, sister-in-law is being so proactive, so why are you like a block of wood? Are you even a man?”
“…”
When he turned and saw Ma Qingxue, beside him, Qin Chuan felt like everything was a fantasy—a dream he had thought would never come true.
After all, she was part of society’s elite, and he was just a lowly loser.
It seemed against nature for them to be together.
But now, he had succeeded.
Perhaps no one would believe it.
At this moment, the matter had already come to pass. He thought backto what Zhao Xuanxuan said earlier:?as a man, I should not be so servile. I should be bold and take the initiative.
Don’t ruin my hard-earned romance with my own hands.
…
Not long after,
Qin Chuan and company headed downstairs.
A few burly men immediately came from the MPV parked in the estate.
