Chapter 23 : I’m Married, Please Don’t Cause Misunderstandings
Seeing the message, Tang Li immediately sat up.
Huang Tao was someone sent by the Host to spy on the Qi family (As a vicious female supporting character, placing someone next to her husband was the standard). The Host used this person to know everything Qi Yihan was doing.
After Tang Li read the message, her first reaction was confusion, thinking to herself, “It’s weird that Qi Yihan doesn’t know that the Host has sent someone to spy on him. It doesn’t make sense.”
Then Tang Li started to worry about her marriage. She quickly replied, “What did she do?”
After a while, a message came, “She’s wearing a low-cut dress today, leaning towards Mr. Qi from time to time.”
Tang Li scoffed and continued asking, “How did Qi Yihan react?”
Huang Tao, “Mr. Qi didn’t even look at her, but…”
Tang Li lost her patience waiting for his replies, so she called him.
The phone rang a few times before the other party picked it up. He lowered his voice as if he was afraid of being overheard. “Miss Tang.”
Tang Li asked directly, “But what?”
Huang Tao, “Just now, Mr. Qi went to the company cafe with them for coffee. I heard that Miss Xu accidentally spilled the coffee on Mr. Qi’s thigh, and Miss Xu wanted to wipe the coffee stains for Mr. Qi. That scene, tsk tsk… it was extremely lovey-dovey.”
Tang Li was able to imagine that scene. Her grip on her phone tightened as she asked with a straight face, “What’s Qi Yihan’s reaction?”
Huang Tao, “Mr. Qi didn’t let her wipe. Instead, he went to his office to change.”
Tang Li was satisfied. This meant that her position as Fourth Madam was still stable.
Huang Tao continued, “I think Miss Xu did it on purpose. Miss Tang, do you want me to give Miss Xu a hand?”
Tang Li suddenly became curious and asked, “How?”
“I’ll put something in Mr. Qi’s coffee secretly and lure Miss Xu to his office.”
“You can do that?”
Tang Li became even more curious, wondering why the person the Host sent was so capable.
Huang Tao smiled playfully on the other end of the phone. “I’ve already bribed Secretary Yang from the Secretariat. Secretary Yang is in charge of making coffee for Mr. Qi.”
Tang Li was blown away by his tactics.
Just when she was about to ask something, Huang Tao said to someone, “No, I’m on the phone with my family.”
Another voice sounded. “Minister Jin wants you to go to his office.”
Huang Tao responded and hung up.
Tang Li looked at the phone for a few seconds. Then she threw the phone aside and went to take a nap.
What she didn’t know was that after Huang Tao was brought to Minister Jin’s office, he realized Qi Yihan was there as well.
Qi Yihan just sat there, his entire body emitting a domineering aura that made Huang Tao’s heart palpitate. He stuttered, “Mr… Mr. Qi.”
Qi Yihan’s gaze was fierce. He shut his mouth tight and did not speak.
It was Minister Jin who said, standing beside him, “Did you just say you’ll secretly put something in Mr. Qi’s coffee and lure Miss Xu to his office?”<
“Now speak! Who told you to do that?”
Huang Tao trembled and denied subconsciously, “I… I didn’t.”
Minister Jin shouted, “Do you want me to play the recording?”
Huang Tao’s body trembled even more violently.
Secretary Jin couldn’t help but feel pity for him. Although Qi Yihan knew that this person was sent by someone to spy on him, he didn’t bother to kick him out. But this time what he was planning to do really pissed Qi Yihan off.
Qi Yihan and Minister Jin didn’t speak, but the atmosphere was so oppressive that Huang Tao couldn’t breathe.
Huang Tao could not stand the atmosphere anymore. He said in a trembling voice, “It was… It was Mrs. Qi who made me do that.”
Minister Jin stole a glance at Qi Yihan and found that the cold aura around him had grown stronger.
He was wondering if Mrs. Qi could live to see the sun tomorrow morning because the expression on Qi Yihan’s face told him that he was not gonna let his wife off the hook easily this time.
Just as Minister Jin was thinking to himself, Qi Yihan suddenly said, “Take him and Secretary Yang to Yang Cheng.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the office.
The moment Qi Yihan walked out of Minister Jin’s office, Huang Tao’s legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
His face was ashen.
…
After Qi Yihan left Minister Jin’s office, he went straight to the company cafe.
Seeing him walk over, Xu Shize smiled and said, “Yihan, why did you take so long to change your clothes?”
Qi Yihan stopped next to them and said coldly, “I’ll get someone else to discuss the project with you. I have something to deal with this afternoon and need to leave.”
With that, he was about to leave.
Xu Yaran immediately stood up and stopped him. “Brother Yihan.”
Qi Yihan stopped suddenly and turned to look at her. His expression was cold and his gaze sharp. “I’m already married. Please don’t do anything that will cause misunderstandings in the future.”
After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about how Xu Yaran would take his words.
Once Qi Yihan left, Xu Yaran covered her face and started crying.
She felt terribly humiliated.
Xu Shize looked at the sobbing Xu Yaran and felt a little upset that Qi Yihan humiliated his sister in front of so many people. However, he tried to comfort her by saying, “Yaran, his father likes Tang Li. To keep his position in the company, he won’t cross the line at this point.”When Xu Yaran heard this, she stopped crying and looked up at him. “You mean that as long as his father… leaves, Brother Yihan will fall in love with me.”
“One thing for certain is that he will divorce Tang Li.”
Xu Yaran wiped her tears away and said happily, “Alright, I’ll wait until his father passes away and chase after him when he is divorced.”
“Yeah.”
…
Tang Li took a nap. When she woke up, she headed to Augustine’s laboratory.
There were all kinds of equipment and drugs in the laboratory, as well as many experimental subjects. Today, Tang Li did not do any experiments but watched Augustine do them.
“Miss Tang, I’ve reached a bottleneck in this experiment where nothing works. Help me find what I’ve done wrong, will you?”
Tang Li looked at it for a while before pointing at one of the steps. “Here…”
Qi Yihan stood by the laboratory door and looked at the woman who was doing an experiment. All his anger suddenly dissipated.
He did not go in and just stood there watching.
The two people in the lab did the experiment for almost two hours before it ended. Augustine was greatly inspired. Tang Li wanted to visit the old man, so she left him alone to continue the experiment. She went to the old man’s ward.
When she pushed open the door, she found Qi Yihan sitting by the bedside reading the news to his father. Tang Li was extremely surprised.
Qi Yihan turned around when Tang Li pushed open the door.
His gaze was heavy, giving off an impression that something bad was gonna happen.
Tang Li did not mind and asked, “Why are you here so early?”
Qi Yihan’s expression was extremely serious.. “I have something to discuss with you in person.”
