Qin Yue hid under her desk and tried her best not to make a sound. If she moved forward by a little bit, she might touch Kan Chen’s leather shoes. Kan Chen sat down in front of his desk and threw a fit at his subordinates.

“If the project doesn’t meet the standards this time, then…”

Kan Chen stretched his leg out and stepped on Qin Yue’s hand. She covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out in pain, but when she looked up, she met with Kan Chen’s gaze, as he bent down under the table. Her eyes widened in embarrassment.

What’s going on?

Everyone saw Kan Chen suddenly bending down for some inexplicable reason. After a moment, he sat up straight, and his tone clearly became much better. “If the project still doesn’t meet the standards, all of you should resign. I’ve already made myself clear. Go and execute it now.”

Kan Chen composed himself and signaled for his bodyguard to leave the room. Then, he frowned as he looked down at Qin Yue, asking her, “What are you doing here?”

Kan Chen’s tone and expression were very cold. Qin Yue rubbed her hand and tried to crawl out from under the table, but Kan Chen grabbed her by her neck and pushed her against him. She was on her knees, but her body was held tightly in his arms. It was almost suffocating.

“Why didn’t you pick up my call? Or did you secretly run out of your house to go on dates with Xiao Yu again?” Kan Chen’s eyes were filled with anger. He pinched Qin Yue’s chin and forced her to look at him. “If I wanted to kill Xiao Yu, it would be easier than crushing an ant.”

“I didn’t look for Xiao Yu! I was locked up at home by Qin Ze! My phone was also confiscated! I’m telling the truth! Also, you can’t drive for the next few days! Please don’t drive! I’m begging you!”

Qin Yue anxiously explained herself.

A trace of hesitation flashed across Kan Chen’s eyes when he saw her expression, but he quickly regained his usual cold demeanor.

“What act are you putting on again?! Why can’t I drive?” Ever since the farce that she put on at the bridal shop, he felt that she had changed, but he couldn’t put his finger around it.

“I’m not lying to you. I swear that what I said is true! I’ll never look for Xiao Yu again! But please, don’t drive for the next few days! Remember, don’t drive! It might be dangerous!” Qin Yue could tell at a glance that Kan Chen didn’t believe her. She sounded almost like she was sobbing as she shook his body anxiously.

No matter what, she had to make him believe that she was telling the truth. Now, looking at the healthy man before her, all she wanted was to beg him to forgive her.

Kan Chen studied the woman in his arms. She had snuck into his office like a mouse, and now her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at him pitifully. She was also wearing a sexy and tight-fitting outfit, and she carried some hiking equipment on her waist. Most importantly, she was looking directly into his eyes, her gaze filled with sincerity.

However, he still couldn’t forget that she was a liar.

“Sure. I promise not to drive. How many days?”

“Um… I don’t know. Maybe just this period… Just before our engagement party?”

“Heh, sure.”

Kan Chen let out a indiscernible sneer. “Then when are we getting married?”

“Soon! Very soon! Once you have time on your hands, we can get married anytime you want!”

When Qin Yue heard Kan Chen agreeing to her request, she felt relieved. She looked at his well-defined face, and after a long while, she realized that she had been acting rather insolently. She looked away awkwardly and wanted to stand up. “I have to go. I… I escaped secretly.”

“Did I allow you to leave?” Kan Chen grabbed Qin Yue’s slender waist and carried her up. He then placed her on his lap and scrutinized her figure blatantly.

Although she was a liar, although she had just said a bunch of ridiculous things, and although she had been missing recently, causing him to worry about her, this was also the first time she took the initiative to look for him.

The tight-fitting clothes accentuated Qin Yue’s beautiful figure. This was also something that Kan Chen had never seen before. He didn’t expect the woman he fell in love with at first sight to have such an attractive figure.

“I, I’ve already said what I needed to say…” Qin Yue avoided his gaze.

Kan Chen hugged Qin Yue’s slender waist tightly and whispered into her ear. His magnetic voice made Qin Yue’s face flush red.

“Since you’re here, on my territory, that means you’re mine.”
