Chapter 455: 460 Slight Guilt_1

Zhou Ziqing’s brain cells were working rapidly.

Did Qin Muchuan mean that he was willing to have a cover, and then be with her?

She didn’t naively ask him immediately. Qin Muchuan cared about his reputation. How could she ask such a question so bluntly?

She had to ask indirectly. "Having a cover would be convenient? Does that mean you’ll often come to see me?"

Qin Muchuan raised an eyebrow. "As long as I have time..."

Zhou Ziqing’s expression suddenly turned pitiful again. "Are we going to keep doing this? Is that really okay?"

Qin Muchuan looked into her eyes. "Ziqing, let’s take it one step at a time, okay?"

Zhou Ziqing suddenly got up from her chair and moved to his side.

Before Qin Muchuan could react, she ’thump’ plopped down on his lap. "Muchuan, it’s fine whatever you say. Anything you ask of me, I can do it!"

Qin Muchuan stayed still, allowing her to sit on him. "I didn’t ask you for anything!"

"You told me not to break up with him. So, I won’t break up with him right now!" Zhou Ziqing said.

Qin Muchuan chuckled. "Are you serious? Will you really do as I say? I’ve never actually demanded you to treat me any certain way."

"I’m afraid you wouldn’t ask anything of me. I really hope you would ask more of me!" Zhou Ziqing leaned on his shoulder.

Qin Muchuan was a little at a loss for words. This woman was really good at answering questions that weren’t asked, wasn’t she?

However, the most important thing for him right now was to confirm whether Zhou Ziqing was on ’their’ side.

After Zhou Ziqing left, Qin Muchuan returned to his company.

Assistant Liu urgently came to report. "CEO, the CEO’s wife called earlier. I didn’t pick up the first couple of times, not until she called for the third time!"

Qin Muchuan nodded. "I see, thanks."

Entering his office, Qin Muchuan quickly slid open his phone and made a call to Lin Xiangwan.

"All done?" Lin Xiangwan asked.

"Yes!" Qin Muchuan nodded.

Was it because he was acting like a thief that his heart was pounding, he subconsciously loosened his collar.

He felt an indescribable pressure in his chest. "What’s wrong?"

"I just wanted to remind you to eat lunch. Have you eaten yet?"

"Yes!" Qin Muchuan nodded.

"That’s good!"

"What about you? What did you eat for lunch?" Qin Muchuan settled into the sofa, trying to calm himself down to chat with his wife.

He was incredibly nervous for no reason. He hadn’t done anything with Zhou Ziqing, why was he so guilty?

"Um..." Lin Xiangwan merrily responded. "I had a great lunch, braised eggplant, braised fish, and some vegetables our grandpa grew! The taste was fantastic, especially the chili sauce made by our maid – the sweet spiciness was delicious!"

Lin Xiangwan seemed particularly delighted, she had originally thought that Qin Muchuan would be angry at her, but it turned out he wasn’t!

"Our grandpa is feeding you the vegetables he grew himself now?" Qin Muchuan asked in amazement.

Lin Xiangwan vigorously nodded. "Yes, is there something strange about that?"

"Of course, there is. We don’t have much land in the yard. Grandpa’s vegetables are rarely shared with others, all this time even I haven’t got to taste it. It’s usually only given to Tongtong and Ranran, and now there’s you!"

Lin Xiangwan immediately felt her status rise. "I had no idea, I thought everyone could eat it! This isn’t good, I picked a lot of vegetables, washed lots of them, ate lots of them!"

With each repetition of ’lots’, she felt grandpa must be heartbroken!

All those organic foods had been consumed by her!

Qin Muchuan was even more amazed. "You really used that much at once?"

"Yes...uh..." Lin Xiangwan replied uneasily. "Qin Muchuan, you think I can’t tell the difference between right and wrong, don’t you? Did I behave badly today?"

Qin Muchuan didn’t answer her but asked with even more astonishment, "What about grandma? She didn’t say anything?"

"No!" She vigorously shook her head, as if he could see her on the other side of the phone.

Qin Muchuan continued to probe, "So is it because grandma wasn’t there, she didn’t see it?"

Lin Xiangwan answered, puzzled. "No, she was there all the time, she even accompanied me to pick them. But grandma didn’t go into the vegetable garden because she didn’t want to get her shoes dirty."

Qin Muchuan was more astounded. "So it seems, you’ve already won my grandma over, haven’t you?"

"I’m not sure!"

"What did you do in the morning? Tell me about it!"

Before Lin Xiangwan could answer, she laughed softly. "I did makeup for grandma, she was delighted!"

Qin Muchuan hadn’t expected that. "Incredible. I thought you’d accompany grandma to watch TV, chat, and at most cook for her..."

"Grandma doesn’t like to watch TV. Otherwise, I would’ve tried to win her over through her favorite shows!" Lin Xiangwan said helplessly.

"Hehe..." Qin Muchuan chuckled. "That’s true, she’s not really fond of watching TV!"

"Well, you’re really amazing for thinking of applying makeup to grandma..." Qin Muchuan was confident that not many people would think of doing so.

Lin Xiangwan didn’t want to tell Qin Muchuan that it wasn’t a spur-of-the moment idea, but that she had thought about it for a long time. "This time, are you satisfied with my performance?"

"I’ve always been satisfied with you!" Only now did Qin Muchuan remember the unpleasantness of the morning. His tone was too harsh then, no wonder she was worried.

"I’m not a girl with a bad temper, especially when it comes to matters involving elders. Unless I truly feel she’s wrong, such as Xu Feng’e, otherwise I would not get moody!" Lin Xiangwan voluntarily brought up the morning incident.

"Okay!"

Once it’s said, it’s done. There’s no need to delve deeper. "I took some pictures for grandma just now. Check out your Whatsapp. I’m going to read the newspaper to her. I won’t disturb your work anymore!"

After finishing, Lin Xiangwan hung up the phone.

Qin Muchuan looked at the phone feeling a twinge of regret and guilt.

He really felt like he owed his wife an apology now!

If she knew that he was in contact with Zhou Ziqing, would she be angry at him?

Hopefully, she would never find out!

Qin Muchuan closed his eyes and prayed silently.

’Ding dong--’ Whatsapp notification.

Qin Muchuan opened Whatsapp, thinking it was Lin Xiangwan who had sent a message.

She indeed sent many pictures, but the last timestamp was at eleven o’clock in the morning.

Was this recent message... sent by her?
