Chapter 13 Maybe It's True Love
As expected, all the good men belong to someone else!
Watching the adoration in Qin Yu\'s eyes seemed as if it was about to overflow.
Yan Mingyu\'s heart felt inexplicably sour.
Although he was just an ordinary person, struggling to death for the tens of thousands he earned monthly, there was someone else with a partner who lit up with joy upon receiving a phone call!
What about her?
Wealthy, attractive, with a net worth of several billion.
But in the realm of romance, she was a loser betrayed by men.
Every night, dragging her exhausted body back to the empty villa, she too wished there was a man who would call to check in on her warmly.
Rather than being like an emotionless machine, pouring all her energy into work.
She needed emotional comfort too, alright?
"Hehe, okay, I\'ll tell President Yan in a bit. Mhm, see you later!"
Qin Yu, while playing the role of a bodyguard, always maintained a cold and stern demeanor, but tonight he actually laughed out loud.
This phone call lasted at least a good ten minutes before he pocketed his cellphone and continued drinking with the bigwigs.
Perhaps feeling cheerful, Qin Yu was in high spirits and very generous, not turning down anyone who approached him.
All of this, Yan Mingyu watched closely, and she couldn\'t help but grow curious about Qin Yu\'s wife.
What did she look like?
What was her job?
What kind of person was she to make someone who could have disinfectant poured on a wound without a grimace show such a range of emotions?
Maybe that\'s what true love is?
Yan Mingyu gently swirled her wine glass, her thoughts churning inside her.
It wasn\'t until someone came upstairs to announce the start of the auction that the group set down their glasses and headed downstairs together.
Since it was a charity event, the items for auction weren\'t rare treasures, but rather more meaningful little things.
Yan Mingyu didn\'t even bat an eyelid as she spent two million to bid on a landscape painting drawn by a child from the mountains.
After making the payment on the spot, she left the event early.
Qin Yu followed her and only when they reached the parking lot did he say, "President Yan, we\'ve both been drinking tonight, shall we call a designated driver?"
"Are you eager to get off work?"
Yan Mingyu raised her slender eyebrows slightly, asking coldly.
"Er.... I can\'t drive after drinking!"
Qin Yu said sheepishly, scratching his head.
"Lingling...."
No sooner had he spoken than Qin Yu\'s personal phone rang again. He took it out, glanced at it, then looked at Yan Mingyu with a conflicted expression.
"Take the call, I\'ll call a designated driver!"
Yan Mingyu cast an emotionless glance at Qin Yu\'s phone, walked a few steps away, and also took out her phone.
"Like this, you wait for me at the Music Square. Hmm, I\'m not sure how long until I finish work. Okay, take care of yourself, and don\'t pay attention to strangers hitting on you!"
Qin Yu answered the phone with a tender voice.
This call was very short, probably half a minute, before he put down the phone.
Looking at Yan Mingyu\'s tall yet slightly lonely figure, Qin Yu took the initiative to say, "President Yan, let me sit in the passenger seat and take you home, then I will head back!"
"No need! You can get off work now!"
Yan Mingyu said icily. She took out her keys, pressed a button, and sat down in the back seat.
"This...."
Qin Yu was unsure of what the beautiful boss really meant.
In the lounge, she was all smiles towards him, but in the blink of an eye, she turned cold as if she were a different person.
The way of a woman\'s heart, as inscrutable as a needle at the bottom of the sea, the old saying really did hold some truth.
"Boss, did you call for a designated driver?"
At that moment, a middle-aged man riding a small electric scooter, wearing a helmet, arrived at Yan Mingyu\'s car.
"Yes!"
Yan Mingyu replied indifferently.
"Then I\'ll start driving right away!"
The designated driver folded up the little e-scooter and placed it in the trunk of Yan Mingyu\'s car.
"Wait a second..."
Qin Yu took a few steps, came up to the designated driver, and said, "I need to see your ID and driver\'s license!"
"Who are you?"
The driver showed a hint of suspicion.
"Her... friend!"
Qin Yu pointed towards the car, where Yan Mingyu was resting with eyes closed, and said.
"Well... alright then!"
The driver fished out his wallet and handed Qin Yu his ID and driver\'s license.
After carefully checking them and taking pictures, Qin Yu finally said to the driver, "Thank you for your efforts!"
"Don\'t mention it!"
The driver waved his hand dismissively and got into the car.
"Director Yan, goodbye!"
Qin Yu respectfully bowed and only breathed a sigh of relief when the driver merged the car into the traffic.
His expression also relaxed a bit as he walked towards the music fountain across the street.
Inside the car.
Yan Mingyu opened her eyes and asked indifferently, "Since when have you been following me?"
"Well... tonight, miss!"
The driver said respectfully, "The old man heard that your... mother was seen with a Japanese person and was worried, so he asked me to covertly protect you! But..."
"The old man was probably overthinking it, your current bodyguard is very formidable!"
"Stop the car!"
Yan Mingyu suddenly uttered.
"Miss..."
The driver hit the brakes, his face full of confusion.
"I\'d like to rest for a bit!"
Yan Mingyu said, then lowered the car window just a crack.
From this angle, one could see the whole panorama of the music square.
The twinkling lights, the fountain shooting into the sky, and the soothing, elegant music combined to create a bustling urban night scene.
In the surging crowd, a man with an upright figure and an air of briskness walked up to a long-haired beauty dressed in casual clothes.
She was quite tall, at least over one meter seventy-five.
Though too far away to see the long-haired beauty\'s face clearly, just her towering stature among the crowd was enough to outshine the majority of women.
She opened her arms and affectionately threw herself into the man\'s embrace.
A fine man, a beautiful woman...
They made such a perfect couple!
Yan Mingyu slowly raised the car window, "Drive, to grandfather\'s house!"
"Yes, miss!"
The driver nodded.
The car started up again and glided into the stream of traffic like a ghost.
Meanwhile.
The long-haired beauty arm in arm with Qin Yu walked into a food stall.
Having consumed a bellyful of alcohol at the charity dinner and not having eaten a thing, Qin Yu was already starving.
"Bro, I got paid today, I\'m treating you tonight!"
Under the light, the long-haired beauty had a delicate face and snow-white, tender skin full of the collagen characteristic of young girls.
Even in casual attire, her legs looked long and straight.
Her eyes sparkled as she pushed Qin Yu down into a chair, "My internship finally ended, next month I can start flying officially!"
"Wei\'er, then I\'ll take you up on your offer, haha!"
Qin Yu was genuinely happy.
His sister had interned at the airline company for a whole year and had at last fulfilled her wish to become an official air hostess!
