Chapter 705: 711 Eyes in the Dark_1

But it seemed like he was genuinely famished, his eating manner didn’t fit his polished outfit at all.

Qin Muchuan wiped the corner of his mouth, after scarfing down a plate of seafood fried rice. "I’ve been worried about the company these past few days and not getting proper meals. Finally, I can enjoy a meal!"

"Oh..." Lin Xiangwan replied vaguely.

"You’re still weak; you should have some chicken soup later, it’s really good here!"

Just at that moment, the waiter brought over the San Huang Chicken. The aroma was enticing and it stirred Lin Xiangwan’s appetite.

Hearing the rumbling in her stomach, she felt a bit embarrassed.

What’s wrong with her? Her husband had been taken from her, and yet here she was, still able to enjoy food.

If she were any other woman, she might not have been able to swallow a bite, right?

"Drink some, it will help to restore your strength!" Qin Muchuan spooned a bowl of soup for her.

After one sip, Lin Xiangwan couldn’t stop and, one mouthful followed another.

Having consumed a fair amount of soup and meat, she did feel a little strength returning, she glanced towards him. "Qin Muchuan, when are you going to sign?"

"... There’s no rush!"

"You’re not in a hurry, but what about your girlfriend? She detests me to the point of death, I’m really afraid one day she might get me killed! If you believe that I’m still a decent person and haven’t wronged you, could you please hurry up and sign the divorce agreement?" Lin Xiangwan urged once more.

She had asked the lawyer to draft the divorce agreement, he must have received it!

"Regarding the child... I can’t give you our child!" Qin Muchuan felt a bitter smile creeping onto his face, clinging onto the child as his last trump card.

"You..."

"Alright, I don’t want to discuss this now, hmmm... let’s go home to sleep!" Qin Muchuan lifted his wrist.

Lin Xiangwan frowned, "That works, I’ll go to a hotel then!"

"Why would you need a hotel?" Qin Muchuan counter-questioned.

Lin Xiangwan glanced back at him, "Didn’t you throw me out of our house? Where else am I supposed to sleep if not a hotel?"

"I didn’t mean to kick you out!" Qin Muchuan held her hand, and started walking out.

She was really too weak to resist him at this point, she asked bafflingly, "What exactly do you mean? Do you want to have your cake and eat it too, not letting me go yet refusing to give her up?"

"Stop overthinking, let’s go home and sleep first!" Qin Muchuan firmly held onto her hand.

She didn’t know if it was her misunderstanding, but she always felt that Qin Muchuan had not really betrayed her, she always felt that he wouldn’t stoop so low, although she didn’t know where this confidence came from.

Perhaps it was because of the bowl of porridge...

Suddenly, Lin Xiangwan stopped in her tracks, "Qin Muchuan, stop right there!"

Qin Muchuan turned around and checked her. "What’s the matter? Are your shoes uncomfortable?"

"Are you hiding something? Or have you been threatened?" Lin Xiangwan asked, letting her imagination run wild.

Even though she found this idea quite amusing, not being a spy film or undercover story, could he be harbouring a difficult secret?

Was she being too optimistic or overly naive?

Under these circumstances, was she still finding excuses for him?

Never mind, there is no need to think about it anymore.

Qin Muchuan simply glanced at her. "Anyway, you can’t sleep rough tonight!"

Right, no matter what, there are some things she needs to do and she’s not willing to leave them unfinished.

That night, Qin Muchuan and Lin Xiangwan returned home!

Zhou Ziqing was still awake at that time, and her heart filled with terror when she saw them returning.

Only when Qin Muchuan didn’t enter Lin Xiangwan’s room, but his study instead, was she slightly relieved.

’Knock, knock...’

The knocking sound echoed.

Qin Muchuan opened the door, Zhou Ziqing walked in and began interrogating. "Where did you take her?"

"Are you questioning me?" Qin Muchuan counter-questioned.

Under his gaze, Zhou Ziqing’s rigid attitude softened. "Not questioning, just curious."

"Nowhere in particular, just found a quiet place to talk about our future!"

Zhou Ziqing was ecstatic, "Did you discuss divorce?"

"Yes," Qin Muchuan replied simply.

"Chuanchuan, you haven’t lied to me, have you?" Zhou Ziqing excitedly stammered.

"I never lie!" Indeed, he didn’t. The problem of divorce, Lin Xiangwan had asked about it.

"Then..." Zhou Ziqing was filled with expectation. "How did your talks go?"

Qin Muchuan gently patted her shoulder. "Be patient, every divorcing couple always needs a long time to talk. After all, it’s difficult to divide properties..."

"Did she not say that she would leave with nothing?" Zhou Ziqing asked.

"Did she say that to you?"

"Yes!"

"Do you think that’s possible?" Qin Muchuan asked back, smirking sarcastically.

Zhou Ziqing’s heart skipped a bit at his question. Yes, Qin Muchuan was so wealthy, how could she want nothing?

"She lied to me!" Zhou Ziqing said with certainty.

"If she wanted to provoke you, you’d believe it!" Qin Muchuan replied dismissively.

"I knew it, she’s just a money lover!" Zhou Ziqing alleged maliciously.

"Alright, I’m tired now, you should go and rest!" Qin Muchuan began showing her to the door.

"Chuanchuan..."

"Thank you for standing by me during this tough period!" Qin Muchuan skillfully used the word ’stand by,’ not ’helped.’

Zhou Ziqing didn’t catch the nuance in his words. "These are the things I should do!"

"..."

"What about the problem of funds? Has the bank released them?" Zhou Ziqing asked, concerned.

Qin Muchuan, looking particularly distressed, shook his head. "Right now, there is a serious shortage of capital..."

"No worries, there might be a turnabout!"

"Hmmm!"

Zhou Ziqing was moving her finger up and down over Qin Muchuan’s chest, and he understood what she meant.

He held her small hand. "Not for now, let’s wait until we get our marriage certificate!"

Marriage certificate?

Zhou Ziqing was so excited she almost cried, then she spoke clutching her throat. "Alright, let’s save the best for our wedding night!"

"Oh..."

Zhou Ziqing reluctantly left the study, and just when she reached the corner of the staircase...

A hand suddenly pulled her aside and into a tight embrace.

She wanted to yell.

"Shush, be quiet!" Qin Gang whispered in her ear.

"You shouldn’t do this..." Zhou Ziqing tried to break free.

"If you’re afraid of being seen, come with me, and keep it down!" Qin Gang led her into another room.

And Lin Xiangwan, who had been hiding in a corner, had seen it all.

She chuckled, they really couldn’t wait, could they? She was merely out for a walk because she couldn’t sleep, and happened upon this! Her luck was really too good!
