Chapter 393 - 393 You are the Worst!
As Qiao Yin spoke, she strained to shake off Lu Lingche’s grip.
The way he was tugging and pulling at her was disgraceful. She might not like Yang Shan, but she didn’t want to give him the impression that she was entangled with another man while supposedly on a date with him.
What would that make her?
And what would that make her grandmother, who had introduced them?
Lu Lingche glanced back at her: “If you struggle again, I’m going to carry you out.”
Qiao Yin instantly calmed down.
He had carried her off twice before, that was tolerable, but this time they were in a restaurant! People were taking pictures!
She didn’t want to make the news alongside Lu Lingche.
So, she obediently followed Lu Lingche out of the restaurant and politely got into his car.
Only after getting into the car and closing the door did Qiao Yin give Lu Lingche a powerful kick: “What are you doing dragging me out here? Are you sick?”
Her kick made Lu Lingche’s leg incredibly sore, but his heart seemed to hurt even more.
Clutching Qiao Yin’s hand tightly, he growled, “Qiao Yin, are you that desperate to find a man? One Dongfang Mu isn’t enough for you, you have to go on blind dates too?”
“What nonsense are you talking about! I’ve told you, I’m just Dongfang Mu’s assistant, he’s not my man!”
Qiao Yin’s face turned pale with anger, and she didn’t want to explain it to him. “What’s wrong with me going on dates? What does it have to do with you?”
“You can have one woman on your left and another on your right, but I can’t have a man?”
“In my opinion, Doctor Yang is much better than you, a doctoral student in medicine, warm in personality, has integrity, and is a good match for getting married!”
Lu Lingche’s eyes flashed dangerously: “So now you think any man is better than me, don’t you?”
Qiao Yin retorted decisively: “Yes! You’re the worst!”
Lu Lingche released her hand: “Get out!”
“What are you doing? You dragged me into the car, and now you want me to get out?”
“Get out!”
For some unknown reason, Qiao Yin felt her eyes moisten.
She opened the car door and got out.
Only when she returned to her car did she allow her tears to fall.
How ridiculous! Why was she so fragile? He had simply told her to get out, why should she cry about it?
She was the one who insulted him; if anyone should be crying, it should be Lu Lingche.
But her tears wouldn’t follow her brain’s command. They dropped one after another, quickly soaking her skirt.
She rushed to wipe them away with tissues and opened her phone to listen to a ghost story, which finally stopped the tears.
But whether it was the scary ghost story, or if she’d turned the car’s air conditioning too low, she couldn’t shake the chill creeping through her body.
After switching off the air conditioning and buying a burger from a drive-thru to eat, she drove back to the Eastern Empire.
She had to continue working in the afternoon; she couldn’t starve herself.
By the time she returned to Dongfang Mu’s office, her mood had steadied, and there were no longer traces of tears on her face. Even the tear stains on her skirt had dried.
She could even smile and greet Secretary Wan: “Thank you, Secretary Wan, for making tea for me again. However, please make ordinary tea next time. Leave this cake of Pu’er tea for Young Master Mu. It would be a waste if I drink it.”
She had learned about the value of Dongfang Mu’s cake of Pu’er tea, so she refused.
“Miss Qiao is a connoisseur of tea. Young Master Mu meant for you to drink this tea. That’s the only way it won’t be wasted.”
Secretary Wan poured her tea with a smile, but was somewhat concerned about Qiao Yin’s slightly red eyes.
He was a thoughtful man and suspected that she had probably been crying, giving her eyes that reddened look and slightly swollen lids.
Qiao Yin had kindly refused to have lunch with Dongfang Mu at noon, claiming that she had to go out.
No sooner had she left, Lu Lingche arrived.
Dongfang Mu told him that Qiao Yin was not around and had gone away on errands.
Then, Lu Lingche left.
Did Lu Lingche find Qiao Yin? And did they have a dispute that resulted in her crying?
After making the tea, Secretary Wan left the office and went to Dongfang Mu’s private lounge. There, he shared all his suspicions with Dongfang Mu..
