Chapter 90: 090 Reaping the Consequences_1
"This can be easily arranged. My secretary will bring the agreement to your office tomorrow morning," Chairman Li said with a chuckle.
The agreement probably came as a result of a threat, right? Of course, it’s also possible that Qin Muchuan made an offer Chairman Li simply couldn’t refuse.
After all, his company is state-owned. Who doesn’t want to curry favor freely given?
Lin Xiangwan idly considered this while she was standing there, not getting the opportunity to intervene. noveldrama
"Okay, let’s make it so. I will arrange everything tomorrow evening. Chairman Li and President Chen, you must give me the pleasure of your company!" Muchuan invited.
"Absolutely!" President Chen answered.
"Of course! I’ve been wanting to have a good drink with you for a while now, Mr. Qin. I’ve heard you can hold your liquor!" Chairman Li added.
"Nonsense!" Qin Muchuan let out a slight smile, looking even more relaxed.
President Chen then stood up and politely said, "Since we have discussed what needed to be, we won’t trouble Mr. Qin and Ms. Lin anymore. Let’s go!"
He then turned to Chairman Li.
"Unfortunately, I have to attend a meeting downtown shortly, so I must go as well!" Chairman Li also rose.
When everyone left the presidential suite, Muchuan had been holding Xiangwan’s hand for a while. He squeezed her arm to subtly remind her of her role as a hostess.
Xiangwan cut him a dissatisfied look, but still maintained a warm smile, bidding goodbye to the two dignitaries and their family.
She even complimented Mrs. Li, "Your dress is really beautiful, Mrs. Li, is it custom-made?"
Mrs. Li was very pleased by her compliment. "We can’t afford custom-made clothes on our salary. We just buy from ordinary brands!" she explained.
"I am really jealous, Mrs. Li. You have such a great figure!" Xiangwan continued to flatter.
"Not at all! I am already old, and have a child!" Mrs. Li laughed so hard she struggled to close her mouth.
Before leaving, she invited Xiangwan to her place. "I don’t know if you love to play Mahjong, Lin. We should get together and play sometime!"
"Okay, I’ll be looking forward to your call, Mrs. Li!" Xiangwan accepted the invitation easily.
After everyone left and the room door had closed, the suite became quiet again.
"Who gave you the permission to agree to play Mahjong?" Muchuan asked displeased.
Xiangwan turned to him. "So, Mr. Qin, you’re suggesting that I should have refused Mrs. Li? Do you think that would be better?"
She had to deal with his complaints after helping him please Mrs. Li. Unbelievable!
Muchuan didn’t respond to her, instead he turned around and walked away. However, he was quite satisfied with her handling of the situation.
Xiangwan, in her high-heels, carefully stepped from one foot to the other in an attempt to relax. "You just didn’t want me to expose your lie about me being your girlfriend, did you?" she surmised.
He, now back at his place on the couch, lightly rested his forehead on his hand and asked. "Do you want to know?"
"Of course, I have to know what I am supposed to be saving you from, right?"
"Well, I can tell you, but ..." His voice trailed off. He signaled her to come closer and his gaze was playful. "Come here!"
Although she felt his plans about something, her curiosity urged her to approach. "I am here now, just say it!"
They were two meters apart.
"Come a bit closer!" Muchuan pointed to the spot next to him.
Xiangwan was wary, and didn’t move. "I speak loudly enough so that you can hear me clearly. My hearing is excellent, I can hear you as well. So why do I need to stand so close. It’s quite hot!"
Muchuan chuckled at that. His gaze held a strange delight. "Are you afraid I might make improper advances to you? Don’t worry, I won’t!"
’You have already taken advantage of me before!’ Xiangwan thought.
"Well, if you don’t want to know, then never mind," Muchuan suggested, apparently wanting to drop the subject.
Xiangwan took two steps forward this time, standing next to him. "I’m here now. Go on!"
Muchuan pulled her closer. "Sit down!"
"No need, I can stand and listen!"
"I told you to sit down!"
"..." she didn’t move.
Muchuan sat back down, crossed his legs, and appeared relaxed. "I’m sitting, and you’re standing. It seems a bit unfair!"
"You’ve already taken a lot of advantage over me, haven’t you? I have already lost a lot because of that!" The memory of her lost apartment flashed across her mind.
"So, you want to be my servant girl?" Muchuan asked teasingly, batting his eyelashes.
As she was standing, she felt as if she were portraying a servant girl due to her height. So she decided to sit back in the sofa.
Well, whether she was standing or sitting, if he wanted to do something to her, there’d be no difference. But of course, she wouldn’t let him take advantage of her that easily.
Sitting was more comfortable than standing anyway. So she decided to sit.
Muchuan grabbed the coffee and brought it to her lips. "Drink the coffee first, then we can talk!"
Xiangwan hurriedly moved back. "You’ve already sipped this. I can’t drink it!"
Muchuan drew closer, and enveloped her in his gaze. His eyes sparkled with a teasing light. "We shared a kiss earlier, so what’s sharing a cup of coffee?"
His warm breath left her rattled and fearful, feeling akin to a tiny animal trapped by a predator.
Of course, Xiangwan would be an idiot to think that he was going to take advantage of her again. He was trying to make her drink that nasty coffee as a form of revenge.
No, she won’t drink that disgusting thing!
"Sorry, Mr. Qin, I’m a simple person who prefers simple pleasures like milk tea. I can’t stand this fancy stuff!" she said, pushing the coffee cup away.
"Manager Lin, do you think I’m joking? Now it doesn’t matter whether you want to drink or not, you have to drink it!" Muchuan’s good mood had suddenly changed, his face darkening.
Xiangwan was not easily scared. "I won’t drink it. What are you going to do about it?"
Her eyes wide with defiance and her hands clenched into fists, she was ready for a fight.
Seeing her transformed into a little lioness, Muchuan softened his stance and could not help but break into a smirk. "If you don’t drink it willingly, I will naturally find a way to make you take a sip. You’ll have to experience what you’ve brewed!"
Muchuan took a gulp of the remaining coffee and within Xiangwan’s stunned silence, his coarse fingers grabbed her chin, pulling her face downwards.
Xiangwan started shaking her head in horror. "No...mmp..."
A bitter, then spicy, followed by salty and astringent sensation exploded in Lin Xiangwan’s mouth.
His tongue entangled with hers, constantly forcing the chaotic whirl of flavors into her mouth.
