Chapter 361: Plan 366 fails, try another plan_1

Zhou Ziqing beamed a sweet smile, the perfect image of a woman reveling in joy. "This was his gift to me!"

She tugged down the collar of her shirt, revealing a diamond necklace studded inside, a design from Dior.

Lin Xiangwan had never seen this design before, so it must be a limited edition. "Limited edition!"

Without thinking, she blurted out what was on her mind.

Zhou Ziqing grinned. "Yes, limited edition! I wonder how he managed to snaffle it up amidst his busy schedule!"

"For a wealthy CEO like him, VIPs like regional presidents or chairmen of famous brands would surely gift him branded items. After all, their companies rely heavily on patrons like him to survive," Lin Xiangwan said cynically.

No wonder she had caught him slyly browsing limited edition jewelry and apparel last night. He must’ve been shopping for her and Duoduo?

This infuriated her further. Qin Muchuan was such a bastard. He spent money on extravagant jewels for his mistress yet maintained a loving facade towards her by making her breakfast. How absurd!

Did he really take her for a fool?

Especially now during office hours, he had even gone to the hospital to visit Duoduo!

Was there anything left about him that’s still trustworthy?

A surge of anger welled up in Lin Xiangwan again, further reinforcing her determination to deal with this adulterous couple.

"Perhaps, but I really do love it!" Zhou Ziqing picked up the pendant, showing it off before tucking it back under her shirt.

Indeed, Qin Muchuan had bought this limited edition necklace, but not recently. It was many years ago.

It was during that steamy summer, after their first intimate encounter.

In fact, it wasn’t her first time. At that time, her menstrual cycle had just ended, thus she managed to deceive him.

Even Heaven seemed to favor her side.

Qin Muchuan thought it was her first time, thus he felt guilty and insisted on being responsible.

That’s the kind of man he was, very responsible. She tried to deter him, but he was adamant.

Of course, she delightedly accepted. Honestly, she was truly in love with Qin Muchuan. Handsome and of distinguished pedigree, his family was of considerable political background.

What woman wouldn’t yearn to be the wife of such a man?

And how many women would not fall for such a man? Very, very few.

Seeing her flaunt, Lin Xiangwan could hardly stand her and was burning with anger.

Suppressing her rage, she took out her cell phone and grinned at Zhou Ziqing. "I’ll call my husband to pick up the kids from school and buy some storybooks for them along the way."

The smile on Zhou Ziqing’s face instantly disappeared, replaced by an awkward look as she stared at Lin Xiangwan.

Lin Xiangwan feigned ignorance and dialed Qin Muchuan’s number.

..............

Recognizing the familiar ringtone, Qin Muchuan was overjoyed to see Lin Xiangwan’s name appearing on his phone. He anxiously picked up the call.

"Hello, Wanwan....." His voice sounded genuinely delighted.

To Lin Xiangwan, it was merely a pretence to cover up his guilt. He had to be pretending to sound casual when he was actually at the hospital. "Qin Muchuan, can you pick up our child from school now? And buy him some storybooks, along with some pastries that I love."

"Sure, I was planning to do pick-ups today " And Qin Muchuan responded immediately. "Tell me what else you want to eat, and I’ll get it for you!"

He agreed too easily? Wasn’t he at the hospital with the child? Lin Xiangwan was somewhat irritated. Was he trying to deceive her?

He must’ve asked his driver to pick up the child and buy the stuff!

She reminded him angrily, "Qin Muchuan, you have to go personally, okay?"

"I know!" Unless there were social engagements, he would always pick-up and drop-off the child whenever he was free. After all, he was the boss and not a hired labourer. There was no need for him to be in the office all day.

Picking up the child was a parent’s duty. If he couldn’t do even that, he couldn’t be trusted with handling big businesses either.

Lin Xiangwan was even more surprised. He answered too fluently. Wasn’t he showing any difficulty at all? "Where are you right now?"

"I’m at the office. Why?" Qin Muchuan replied, clearly confused.

"You’re at the office?" Lin Xiangwan moved to a corner and asked in a lowered voice.

"If not at the office, then where else? Recently, the political climate has been tense, resulting in fewer social interactions. I came back as soon as the lunch meeting was over since I didn’t drink much!" Qin Muchuan explained.

In fact, he really wanted to visit her, but she said she was going shopping!

"Oh!" Lin Xiangwan understood immediately. Zhou Ziqing’s previous statement was just to spite her, right?

"Fine, I’ll be home late tonight!" Lin Xiangwan briefly informed him.

"Where are you going?" Qin Muchuan asked sharply.

"Where I go is none of your business!" Snapping at Qin Muchuan, Lin Xiangwan hung up the call.

Zhou Ziqing was annoyed. Why would Lin Xiangwan call Qin Muchuan now?

But thankfully, even though she was unsure whether Lin Xiangwan knew about her being Qin Muchuan’s ex-girlfriend, at least the secret wasn’t exposed yet. She wasn’t that humiliated, right?

Lin turned around, smiled at Zhou Ziqing. "He’s always like this, questioning everywhere I go, it’s so annoying!"

Zhou Ziqing forced a smile, looking incredibly artificial. "You’re too harsh on your husband, aren’t you? Be careful, if you always act this hostile, he might start to dislike you!"

She was cursing in her heart.

"Dislike me?" Lin Xiangwan looked as if it’d be a welcome change. "That would be even better, it will spare me from his incessant pestering every night. You see, I was always thinking about starting a business. But because of him, I could only rise in the late morning and retire to bed early at night. I’m honestly exhausted. I can’t get anything important done!"

"Hehe...." Zhou Ziqing was feeling really annoyed.

"Ziqing, I’m thinking of buying a dress for a job interview!" Lin Xiangwan cheerfully hooked her arm into Zhou Ziqing’s.

"Sure!" Zhou Ziqing responded reluctantly. "But don’t you already have lots of dresses? Why do you need another one?"

Lin Xiangwan glanced at her, slowly revealing a smile, and said deliberately, "Those were all bought by Qin Muchuan, and all of them are limited editions. How am I supposed to wear them to work? People might mistake me as a gold-digger!"

"There’s nothing wrong being mistaken as one!"

"Cut it out, that’ll be so embarrassing!" Lin Xiangwan said shaking her head. "I would not want anyone to think I’m dependent on others. I’ve always been independent!"

"Hehe...."

"Aiyah, Ziqing, do not feel offended. Your situation is different. You and Duoduo’s father were in love. I know that!"
