Chapter 160: Chapter 160: What the Hell is He Guilty About?

"Qin Xiu, I will pay for this house, there is no need to give it as a gift! I can pay the staff price you guys offer internally, of course, if you feel that I don’t qualify for the discount policy, you can charge me the full price!"

Zhu Qianying is also set on going against Qin Xiu. Just over ten hours ago, she was still ecstatic about being able to save a considerable chunk of money.

But now, just the thought that the Eldest Young Master Yan was using this as a way to cover up and compensate for his indiscretion last night makes her uncomfortable.

At the heart of the matter, she didn’t think he owed her anything and did not get upset over his indiscretion last night.

If it were her, if Young Master Yan insisted on taking something she loved, her attitude would undoubtedly be very harsh too.

But now, he compensated her in such an overt manner, leading her to believe that he felt guilty!

At this moment, she envisioned a chibi version of Young Master Yan, holding a flag, crying, and shouting at her, "Wife, please forgive me!"

She could let go of his past!

But why does he feel guilty for something in the past?

Does this mean his guilt might be because that was actually not entirely in the past?

This being said, in the case of such an egotistical and dogmatic person like him, he would never feel guilty about something that has already passed!

The more Zhu Qianying thought about it, the angrier she got to the point that it took her a while to respond even after Qin Xiu called her a couple of times.

"Huh? Qin, the special assistant, what did you just say?"

Two lines of quiet tears slipped from Qin Xiu’s eyes. The boss offered to give the house, but the boss’ wife refused and even said that it was okay to charge the full price!

Didn’t this mean that the couple was having a quarrel?

Can’t they just have some kind of disagreement at home instead of dragging him, their subordinate, into the situation and making him suffer in the middle?

"Ying Zi, how about this, let’s check out the house first, we can decide the price later, okay?"

Qin Xiu felt really bitter, but he was no easy target either.

At this point, the best way would be to trick the boss’ wife into checking out the house first. As long as she likes it, there would be plenty of time to discuss the price after the house viewing.

Perhaps the boss could cheer her up tonight, and she might gladly accept the house tomorrow!

However, Zhu Qianying was adamant and shook her head, "No, you should figure out the price first. If the price is right and I like the house, I will pay the full amount on the spot!"

The implication was that if the price wasn’t right, she would buy a house somewhere else!

If this gets out, not only would it cause Young Master Yan to lose face, but even as his special assistant, he would be laughed at for not being up to the job!

The wife of the president of the Yanhuang Group, buying a house, would actually not consider one developed by her husband’s company. This is not only boosting others’ morale entirely at the expense of self-confidence, but also a direct slap in the face of her own husband!

"Yingzi, how about this, let me double-check with Young Master Yan?" As Qin Xiu’s delaying tactics failed, he had no choice but to pull in reinforcements.

But Zhu Qianying simply waved her hand dismissively, "It’s fine, I’m not buying anymore! You can go back to work!"

Zhu Qianying naturally thought of Qin Xiu’s concerns.

She was also aware that given the nature of Young Master Yan, whenever he says something, it’s hard to take it back. So, if she really liked a house developed by the Yanhuang Group, no matter the price, Young Master Yan would never accept her money.

In that case, she might as well not buy!

She could always rent for now.

Once this issue is over and things calm down, she could then buy an apartment in the neighbourhood under Xiao Yu’s name. There was no need to stir the hornet’s nest that was Young Master Yan!

Zhu Qianying, who had made up her mind, did not yield despite Qin Xiu’s earnest persuasion. She kept shaking her head and stubbornly refused to change her mind.

No more buying!

That was Zhu Qianying’s final word, leaving Qin Xiu with no other choice but to accept her refusal and return to the company to report the situation.

Young Master Yan, who had just finished a meeting, passed by Qin Xiu who had just come out of the elevator in the corridor. He looked him up and down, "Have you seen the house already?"

After asking, Young Master Yan had a thought. That’s not right. It should have taken him nearly two hours just to travel to and from the Yan Family. But Qiu Xiu left just over two hours and around ten minutes ago.

Even with the extra ten minutes, he wouldn’t have even had enough time to drive to the house, let alone to have seen it!

Qin Xiu, who failed to live up to the boss’ expectations, prevaricated, "Sir... let’s talk more inside..."

Young Master Yan frowned slightly and looked at him intensely, lowering his voice to ask, "Why, she likes a lot of them? Don’t tell me it’s a whole building?"

Qin Xiu sighed inwardly. Sir, I would rather the boss’ wife really picked a whole building. I believe, you would also prefer that!

Given their surroundings, Qin Xiu didn’t respond.

Young Master Yan understood this and seeing him remain silent, changed the topic and discussed a few work-related issues with him. When they entered the office, Qin Xiu who trailed behind shut the door. His boss then spoke.

"Tell me about it! How many houses does she want?"

Qin Xiu, who was still in a state of panic, noticed sharply that his boss was a bit impatient and had absentmindedly ruffled his hair.

He had served Young Master Yan for more than a decade and he knew very well that for his boss, any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.

If Zhu Qianying really wanted to buy an entire building, his boss could afford it!

Therefore, he did not think that his boss was feeling irritated because of the price of a whole building.

So why was he irritated? Was he worried that even if Zhu Qianying got a whole building, she would still be angry?

However, it seemed that the boss didn’t know his wife well at all. Why was he guessing in the completely wrong direction?

Zhu Qianying wanted to go south, but the boss guessed north. It seemed the couple’s rapport had plunged into the negatives!

"Go on!"

Young Master Yan, who had taken a seat, drummed his fingers on the table impatiently, prompting Qin Xiu to explain quickly.

"Sir, Yingzi said she doesn’t want to buy!"

Qin Xiu had no choice but to tell the truth with a stiff upper lip.

Even though, this might make the boss think he didn’t complete his task properly. But in all fairness, it’s better than having the boss misunderstand his wife.

Qin Xiu himself didn’t understand. He had served Young Master Yan for more than ten years. He had known Zhu Qianying only for a few months, and it’s only been a few days since she became his boss’ wife.

But when the boss and his wife had a disagreement, he immediately took the side of the boss’ wife without hesitation. If his boss ever saw through this, would his boss get angry enough to fire him?

"What?" Young Master Yan’s eyebrows furrowed even more deeply than before. The look he gave Qin Xiu seemed like he was about to eat him up.

Qin Xiu subconsciously shrunk back a little, but eventually managed to meet the boss’ fierce gaze and repeated, "Yingzi said she doesn’t want to buy!"

"Why?" Young Master Yan was visibly annoyed.

Qin Xiu looked at Young Master Yan a few times very cautiously, risking the "beheading" danger, and dared to voice his thoughts.

"Sir, how would I know why? You are her husband, I’m just your subordinate. If I can see through your wife’s thoughts, that might be a capital offense!"
