"Hello?"

"It's me." The voice on the other end belonged to Qin You'an, whose voice was always deep and magnetic. "I heard from Wu Shen that your rented apartment was splashed with red paint?"

Shen Suyun could only muster the courage to explain, "Yes, it's because my friend, who I share the rent with, is being retaliated against by her ex-boyfriend. I'm sorry for disturbing you..."

Saying that, she couldn't help but glare at Wu Shen, who had such a huge company to manage, with so many things to handle every day. Why would she tell him!

Wu Shen lowered his head and looked at the floor. Hmm, the floor is not bad either.

"No problem, I happen to be nearby. I'll come find you now, just wait for me."

"Ah?" Shen Suyun doubted if she had misheard—because of this matter, Qin You'an would personally come over?

What are you here for? To take care of this matter for yourself?

Shen Suyun's face turned red, and her body began to sweat slightly. She said, "It's okay, you don't have to come over specially if you're busy. I'll just find my brother..."

Qin Youan's tone suddenly became unquestionable, "I'm already on my way, you won't make me go back, right?"

Shen Suyun could only say, "That's fine then, thank you for your trouble."

"I won't. It's settled." The voice on the other end hung up right after speaking.

A domineering and arrogant style reminiscent of a typical male chauvinistic CEO.

Shen Suyun finished venting and then looked up at Wu Shen, who had a gossipy expression on his face. She had a displeased look on her face and turned away, saying, "He said he's coming."

"Great! We can go to Qin's house to freeload on meals and lodging," Wu Shen said excitedly, rubbing his hands together with a glimmer of gossip burning in his eyes. "Su Yun, make good use of this opportunity and strive to reach the peak of success!"

Shen Suyun chuckled helplessly, "Why do you make it sound like I'm trying to enter the palace and vie for favor?"

"Isn't that right?" Wu Shen flicked the nonexistent dust off his hand and put on an affected tone. "Your Majesty, you must strive to win favor from His Majesty, and may even bring us all to great success!"

Shen Suyun was amused by him and said, "I can't be bothered with you!"

When Qin You'an arrived, Wu Shen was leaning against the door frame playing a game, while Shen Suyun sat on an unfolded chair that hadn't been splattered with paint, reading on a Kindle. At that moment, he was wearing a white down jacket, with a apricot-colored turtleneck sweater underneath. His black hair was neatly and smoothly pressed against the side of his ear, as he focused on the kindle. The chaotic and horrifying wall behind him accentuated his softness and cleanliness, resembling a magnolia blooming beside the ruins.

"You're here?" Shen Suyun stood up to greet him. He was still wearing his usual three-piece suit, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and a dignified aura. His handsome face remained as cold and aloof as ever.

He smiled at the guest who had come for him, but immediately felt embarrassed when he thought about the situation at home. He said, "I apologize for the inconvenience...There's really no way for me to entertain you."

Qin You'an looked into his smiling eyes and simply replied, "No need."

Glancing back at Jiang Shixun, who was following behind, Wu Shen stepped forward and picked up his suitcase to take it outside. Wu Shen then walked away with him.

"Eh..." Shen Suyun wanted to stop him, but after some thought, she turned and asked Qin You'an, "Have you arranged my accommodation for tonight? Which hotel?"

"My home."

"Your, your home?" Shen Suyun almost choked on her saliva.

At this moment, the once familiar strong paint odor seemed particularly pungent. The surrounding air gradually became thin, causing his heart in his chest to beat rapidly, as if a fish had left the bank. He looked at Qin You'an, who, on the other hand, appeared completely unperturbed, without a hint of disturbance on his face.

"Um, my home."

"Will I be bothering you too much?" Shen Suyun felt a little bashful.

Qin You'an retorted, "The house is spacious, there's more than enough room for just one person."

Shen Suyun silently complained in her heart about his blatant show of wealth. She also thought that he might be a straight guy and didn't think anything of men living together. Furthermore, his mother had asked him to take care of himself, so cohabitation was probably just a favor for himself.

Therefore, Dao said, "Alright, once I handle this matter, I'll immediately move out. It might inconvenience you for a few days."

"...Did you forget what I told you before?" Qin You'an said, his dark eyes fixed on him, profound like a cold abyss, with a slightly displeased expression.

Shen Suyun couldn't figure it out and didn't know where she had offended this overbearing CEO. She asked, "Huh?"

Qin You'an became even unhappier, revealing the indifferent expression typical of someone in a position of power.

Shen Suyun felt even more embarrassed, as if seeing the angry face of an adult, knowing that she had done something wrong but still not knowing what exactly she had done wrong, like a clueless child.

Qin You'an noticed his expression and seemed to have realized something. His gaze softened as he looked at him and spoke in a gentle tone, "As I've said before, even though it's just a contract, we are still husband and wife. I am your husband, and you also mentioned that you don't dislike me."

Shen Suyun suddenly realized what was going on. It turned out that this gentleman was annoyed by her being overly polite.

Qin You'an noticed his reaction and came closer, his eyes burning as he stared at him. "Su Yun, you better remember our relationship," he said.

Shen Suyun was taken aback, and by the time she realized it, Qin You'an had already turned around and walked out the door.

"Follow me."

Her entire cheeks burned, and her heartbeat raced, so Shen Suyun quickly lowered her head and followed behind Qin You'an. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't closed the door, so she hurriedly turned back to close it.

With a flushed face, he couldn't help but complain about Qin You'an, this straight guy with long legs, not knowing how to wait for him.

When they arrived downstairs in the residential area, Wu Shen and Jiang Shixun had already loaded his luggage onto the car. Wu Shen said,

"Suyun, I won't go over there. It's not on my way. Just take a taxi by yourself."

"Oh, alright then. Sheng Ge, take care of yourself," Shen Suyun always handled people and matters in a very tactful manner.

Wu Shendou is about to leave, but suddenly remembers something, thinking he is speaking quietly to Qin You'an, he says, "Director Qin, Su Yun has an advertising audition the day after tomorrow. Um, please pay attention to it."

Shen Suyun: ???!!!

What's the matter? Hey, can you please clarify what you mean?

Qin You'an maintained a calm and composed expression, still wearing that indifferent and self-possessed demeanor. He nodded and said, "Mmm."

Shen Suyun: ???

What's wrong with you? Why are you making a weird sound?

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little overheated.
