Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Seeing Mu Zhou's shock, Lin Juan smiled.

That smile held a hint of bitterness:

"You know me, my mother told me to get pregnant as soon as possible so that I could keep a man's heart."

Her father even warned her that if she didn't get married soon, she would be thirty next year and would be an unwanted "leftover woman." He said that if she didn't get married, she wouldn't be allowed to come home again, because he couldn't bear the shame.

Lin Juan seems to really need someone to confide in.

She told Mu Zhou a lot.

She wouldn't even dare say these things to her best friends.

She reflected on everything that had happened over the years.

Xu Le isn't some kind of genius; how could he have cheated on his wife so frequently without leaving any trace?

Lin Juan thought that perhaps it was because her parents always instilled these things in her that when Xu Le occasionally revealed a flaw, she would brainwash herself, numb herself, and dare not investigate further.

She couldn't afford the cost of investigating further.

But now, she doesn't want to do that anymore.

“I’ve blocked my family. If they won’t let me go back for the New Year, then I won’t go back. I’ve saved up a lot of money, and I can live on my own here.”

That family had never offered her any help.

Her smile softened, and she looked at Mu Zhou with gratitude.

"Mu Zhou, thank you."

It helped her see this man for who he really was, and it also gave her a push, forcing her to take this life-changing event seriously.

Mu Zhou also sincerely wished her well:

I hope everything goes well for you in the future.

"You too."

When Mu Zhou got off work, he still rode in Qin Zhan's car.

She looked out the window, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Qin Zhan took the initiative to speak:

"what happened?"

I feel a little down.

Qin Zhan looked at her face, which was almost scrunched up, and smiled gently:

"Because of your roommate?"

"Ah."

Mu Zhou nodded vigorously.

"They've been together since their student days, and I thought they'd go from school uniforms to wedding dresses. Who knew that one of them had already changed his mind along the way, but he still pretended to be deeply in love."

More importantly, Lin Juan is so heartbroken, but her family only wants her to swallow her grievances and go through with the marriage.

Just because she is "older" and it's too shameful for her not to get married.

Is saving face more important than a daughter's happiness?

She doesn't care even if she knows the other person is a bad person, as long as she can marry him off.

She tugged hard on the chain of her bag in frustration.

Qin Zhan listened to her indignation and her gaze fell on her hands.

The metal chain was wrapped around her slender fingers, leaving red marks.

He freed her hand and held it in his own:

“That man has a lot of blemishes. I’ve already had the evidence of his promiscuity prepared. He will be detained, he won’t be able to find work in this line of work again, and it will be difficult for him to stay in this city. They won’t get married.”

Qin Zhan wasn't good at comforting people, so this was the only way she could make Mu Zhou vent his anger.

A person who has experienced social death is unlikely to have a good future.

Sure enough, Mu Zhou's worried expression lessened after hearing this:

"Really? That's great!"

For a moment, she forgot that her hand was still in Qin Zhan's hand, being held and played with by him.

There's no need to worry about Xu Le anymore. As for Lin Juan, she was able to break up with him so quickly and cut off all contact with her family.

I suppose he must be a person of strong will.

Mu Zhou felt much better.

She said to Qin Zhan:

"Let's go out to eat."

"it is good."

Qin Zhan kneaded her hands gently, the pressure quite comfortable.

When Mu Zhou was about to take out her phone to find some good restaurants, she realized that her hand was still being held by him.

She abruptly pulled back, pretending nothing had happened, and started playing on her phone by the car window.

Qin Zhan could naturally sense her obvious avoidance, and nonchalantly curled the corners of his lips.

He looked at his empty palm and rubbed his fingertips together as if savoring the moment.

With Mu Zhou and Qin Zhan going in and out together, the rumors of them being engaged became a certainty.

In particular, the president's office did not issue any denial.

Doesn't that further prove it's true?

Mu Zhou was completely unaware of any of this.

On this day, Mu Zhou received a bouquet of roses.

After she accepted the card, she couldn't find the note card. Just as she was wondering about it, Jin Shuyu called.

"Little Mu Zhou, did you receive the flowers? Do you like them?"

"Brother Shuyu, did you send these flowers?"

"Anything free after get off work? I'll take you to do something exciting."

Mu Zhou fiddled with the roses, remembering the last time, and refused:

"No need, so you won't leave me alone again."

"How could that be? Your brother went last time, but he's going on a business trip this time, so he won't bother us."

Mu Zhou still refused.

Jin Shuyu immediately unleashed his trump card:

"Didn't your account share racing-related posts? Want to give it a try?"

Mu Zhou was immediately captivated.

But then she remembered Qin Zhan's words and continued to refuse:

"Never mind, President Qin won't let me go."

Qin Zhan said it was too dangerous, the operation was so complicated, and if the speed was too fast, she could easily be in danger in a panic.

Mu Zhou felt the same way, so he still refused.

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuyu immediately said:

"How about... we try go-karting?"

Go-karts are much slower than race cars, easier to operate, and have a significantly higher safety factor.

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Zhou finally succumbed to the temptation.

"Okay, then wait for me to get off work."

When her young colleague saw Mu Zhou return carrying a bouquet of flowers, she asked curiously:

"Did President Qin send these flowers?"

Mu Zhou's eyes widened:

"How could that be? It was a gift from a friend, someone who's like an older brother to me."

My colleague covered his mouth in surprise:

"A male friend? Won't President Qin be upset if he gives you roses?"

Mu Zhou tilted his head in confusion:

"...He doesn't care, does he?"

"Is President Qin really that generous? I really want a boyfriend like that."

My colleague's eyes lit up instantly.

It took Mu Zhou a while to realize what his colleague had said.

She pressed for details and learned that everyone in the company thought she and Qin Zhan were engaged.

She hurried to Qin Zhan's office on the top floor.

He was just about to leave to catch his flight.

"what happened?"

He paused in putting on his suit and looked at her.

Mu Zhou approached, his two hands clasped together:

"President Qin, I think I've done something wrong."

She revealed that she hadn't explained things clearly, which led everyone to mistakenly believe they were engaged.

"what to do……"

After listening, Qin Zhan pondered for a moment and answered her seriously:

"Just don't respond, and these rumors will dissipate on their own."

"really?"

Qin Zhan nodded and answered affirmatively:

"Really, keeping silent is the best public relations strategy."

Although Mu Zhou was puzzled, he believed Qin Zhan out of his natural trust in him.

She looked at the suitcase her secretary had prepared.

Qin Zhan told her in the morning that he had some urgent business to attend to and would be back in two days at most, possibly by tomorrow night.

She casually remarked:

"Have a safe trip, and remember to text me when you arrive."

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that his tie was a little crooked, and I instinctively reached out to straighten it for him.

When she let go, she looked up and met his deep, dark eyes.

Those dark eyes held a turbulent undercurrent, as if they wanted to suck her in.
