Chapter 147: Su Lin, Aren’t You Being Too Bullying?

Upon reaching the office floor, Qin Jiuyue immediately noticed Zhao Yanyan with her long legs. Zhao Yanyan was also surprised to see Qin Jiuyue, despite having received a message from Su Lin.

“Qin… Miss Qin, why are you here?” Zhao Yanyan asked, looking surprised.

Qin Jiuyue, puzzled, looked at Su Lin, not expecting Zhao Yanyan’s reaction.

Not only Qin Jiuyue but also Su Lin hadn’t anticipated this. He asked, “Yanyan, why so excited? Is it strange for her to be here?”

“I…” Zhao Yanyan gave Su Lin a look, then stuttered, “Qin…”

“Just call me Xiaoyue. I’m twenty this year, you must be older than me,” Qin Jiuyue politely smiled.

“Uh… then I should call you Sister Xiaoyue,” Zhao Yanyan said awkwardly.

“Hmm?”

“I just turned eighteen two months ago,” Zhao Yanyan confessed with some embarrassment.

Hearing this, Qin Jiuyue’s face turned red with embarrassment. She narrowed her eyes and pointed at Su Lin, “And him?”

“Su Lin, he’s also eighteen. We’re classmates, first-year college students,” Zhao Yanyan explained.

Su Lin facepalmed.

Qin Jiuyue’s eyes widened in shock. She turned to Su Lin, “So it turns out you’re two years younger than me. Here I was, calling you with such respect, almost addressed you as ‘brother’. You’re too bullying, Su Lin!”

Su Lin shrugged, “It’s just a two-year difference. Besides, you might be twenty, but you’re not that mature. I’m eighteen, but I am mature. Calling you Xiaoyue is fair.”

“No way, you can’t call me Xiaoyue.”

“So, what should I call you?”

“Call me… Sister Xiaoyue. Su Lin, you’re really playful, pretending to be so mature. Turns out you’re only eighteen.”

Su Lin coughed, “Well, Yanyan and I have some business to discuss. Xiaoyue… sister, maybe you could wait in the lounge?”

Qin Jiuyue, grinding her teeth, could see that Su Lin was deliberately changing the subject. She thought he was too cunning, calling her by a nickname all this time. “Su Lin, you just wait, hmph.”

Qin Jiuyue glared at Su Lin and then headed towards the lounge, visibly upset yet looking adorable.

Su Lin was unfazed as he noticed Qin Jiuyue’s affection for him was increasing, not decreasing. This indicated that she was only feeling slightly embarrassed in front of Zhao Yanyan, not genuinely angry.

Once Qin Jiuyue was in the lounge, Zhao Yanyan pulled Su Lin into the office, “Su Lin, what’s going on?”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t play dumb. Why is Qin Jiuyue here, and how do you know her?”

Su Lin, hugging Zhao Yanyan’s waist, chuckled, “Jealous?”

“Jealous? Even if I were, it’s not my turn yet. Let’s see how you explain this to Xiaowan and Xiaoyu.”

“Hehe, do I need to explain myself to anyone?”

“Enough, tell me, what’s really going on? I have a feeling that this Qin family princess has special feelings for you. Su Lin, are you sure you didn’t know her before?” Zhao Yanyan asked doubtfully.

Su Lin nodded, “Rest assured, I definitely didn’t know her before.”

“As for why she came to the company with me today, it all started when I exchanged items with Qin Delin.”

Su Lin recounted the events following the item exchange with Qin Delin, how Qin Jiuyue saw it and then came to him for trouble.

He then explained how Qin Jiuyue and Qin Delin came to his house this morning to retrieve the blue and white porcelain and how she wanted to go out alone, eventually ending up following him.

However, Su Lin omitted the part about taking Qin Jiuyue to experience the thrill of a roller coaster.

After listening, Zhao Yanyan sighed, “So that’s what happened. I was wondering why she acted that way towards you yesterday.”

“What should we do now, just leave her in the company?”

Zhao Yanyan’s expression changed slightly, “No, Su Lin, you must have left something out.”

“What else is there to say?” Su Lin asked, surprised.

“Humph, based on what you said, Qin Jiuyue should be angry when she looks at you, but her gaze earlier didn’t seem hostile, more like admiration. Su Lin, eyes don’t lie,” Zhao Yanyan asserted confidently.

Su Lin was surprised; indeed, women are natural detectives in these matters, capturing even the slightest details and analyzing the whole picture. He had to commend Zhao Yanyan for her perceptiveness.

Zhao Yanyan shook her head, “Never mind, I can guess what happened. Probably some heroic rescue, just a different process. I won’t bother asking about it. Xiaowan and Xiaoyu should be the ones to ask.”

Su Lin chuckled, “They might not necessarily ask.”

He then looked at Zhao Yanyan, “Yanyan, your mind and wit are wasted not studying law.”

“Stop it, can you take your hand off?”

Su Lin nonchalantly withdrew his hand from Zhao Yanyan’s thigh, “You know, I’m getting older, and my hands have minds of their own.”

Zhao Yanyan chuckled, “Only you could make such a rogue statement sound so elegant. What now, leave the princess in the lounge?”

Su Lin shrugged, “What else? Maybe let her help you with office work?”

“That won’t do, she clearly hasn’t done this before. Su Lin, why don’t you accompany her? She is the Qin family’s princess, after all. We can’t neglect her.”

Su Lin stood still, “She may be the Qin family’s princess, but you’re my princess. How could you bear to push me towards another woman?”

Zhao Yanyan, hooking Su Lin’s neck, gave him a kiss, “Happy now?”

“Not enough!”

“And now?”

“Still not enough.”

“How about now?”

“Cough cough… Enough, enough, I’m going. Yanyan, wait for me, okay?”

Zhao Yanyan shook her head as Su Lin left. She couldn’t fathom why she had fallen for him.

“Su Lin, you’re back so soon? Aren’t you going to deal with work?”

Su Lin, smiling at Qin Jiuyue, replied, “You’re a special guest today. Naturally, accompanying the guest is important. Besides, the company is on the right track. I usually don’t interfere too much unless there’s a problem.”

“Wow, running your company seems so relaxed. I never see my grandpa the whole day; he’s always on calls, with appointments scheduled for months ahead.”

“Your grandpa’s company is big, mine is small.”

Qin Jiuyue frowned slightly, then pouted, “Don’t pretend I don’t understand. Grandpa said your chain of supermarkets is very promising. If it goes national, it will be huge.”

“There are so many powerful families nationwide, do you think they would let me expand my supermarkets all over the country?”

Qin Jiuyue thought for a moment and nodded, “You’re right, I was oversimplifying it.”

Su Lin picked up his keys and said, “Let’s go.”

“Where to?” asked Qin Jiuyue.

“Of course, to find a place to have fun. We can’t have you sitting in the company lounge all morning. Your grandpa would find that hilarious.”

“Where will we go then?” Qin Jiuyue asked, a bit excited.

Su Lin shook his head, “There aren’t many exciting places in the city, mostly just eateries. Nothing thrilling.”

“Hmm, let’s just pick a place then, as long as it’s not boring.”

“Alright!”

Just as Su Lin agreed to Qin Jiuyue’s request, his phone rang. He checked the phone and saw an unknown number from Donghai. Su Lin frowned. An unknown call from Donghai at this time wasn’t usually good news.

“Hello, who’s this?”

“Hello, Young master Su, I’m Luo Sihai.”

Su Lin waved his hand, signaling Qin Jiuyue to go downstairs first.

Qin Jiuyue, understanding that Su Lin had important business to discuss, nodded obediently and walked towards the elevator.

Su Lin, hearing Luo Sihai’s somewhat respectful voice, was surprised, “Luo Siye what can I do for you?”

“Luo Siye is too grand for me. If you don’t mind, just call me Old Luo.”

Su Lin instantly became alert, “Siye, you don’t call unless there’s a reason. What’s up?”

“Since Young master Su is straightforward, I’ll get to the point.”

“Go ahead.”
