Married The Crybaby Childhood Crush First, Then Fell in Love - Chapter 46.2

Lin Wanqing looked at her and said, “Rich people nowadays are so reckless. Why do they spend so much money on custom perfumes?”

Today, she received another considerable transfer to her back account; the sugar daddy said it was for buying materials.

Lin Wanqing wondered how much money the person had to burn like this.

Yan Qiu applied the slippery hand cream evenly onto Lin Wanqing’s little paws, constantly rubbing and pressing, letting the entire hand be thoroughly moisturized by the cream.

The pleasant scent of lily filled the whole living room.

Yan Qiu: “Tiantiān, do you know how important a desirable perfume is to a person?”

Lin Wanqing looked at her, thoughtfully and with a half-smile. Yan Qiu was looking down and didn’t notice Lin Wanqing’s amusement.

“How so?”

“A bottle of perfume carries more than just the scent itself; it also holds a person’s memories of the past, and the stirring and regrets in their heart.”

Lin Wanqing hadn’t expected Yan Qiu to answer this way.

Her fingers were slick with oil. Yan Qiu rubbed her nose against her hand. After the hand cream had been absorbed by the skin, her skin became fair and rosy.

The sticky fingers reminded her of another kind of substance that would get on them.

Lin Wanqing’s breathing quickened. “But the money the sugar daddy gave is too much…”

Yan Qiu: “Because our Tiantian is worth it.”

Lin Wanqing’s heart warmed, and tears welled up in her eyes. She rubbed her reddened eyes and sniffled.

The little rabbit wiped her face with her paw. Having just started in this industry, she had suffered a lot of grievances and setbacks, and she had no one to share her inner bitterness with.

Yan Qiu kissed her soft fingers at her lips and gently bit her knuckle.

A tingling sensation shot up, and Lin Wanqing let out a soft “ooh” sound from her throat.

So painful, so numb…

Lin Wanqing, who was sensitive to pain, wanted to withdraw her hand, but Yan Qiu held it tightly.

Although it was only a kiss on the hand, it felt like her other body parts were being violated, causing a sense of shame. To the censor, this is only a hand-kiss, please note.

” Tiantian, did the prize money for the design competition arrive?”

“It arrived. The person in charge of Huiyan Group presented the award to me on the spot. The prize money was transferred immediately, and it was more than three times the original amount.”

A very blatant fixed deal.

Lin Wanqing looked at her meaningfully, hoping to see a flaw in Yan Qiu’s expression regarding the behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Yan Qiu smiled. “Huiyan Group’s stock is soaring; they don’t care about this small amount of money.”

Lin Wanqing: “…”

Today was another day of bowing down to money.

With Lin Wanqing winning first place, her reputation was established in the industry.

When Lin Wanqing was mentioned, she was no longer just Yan Qiu’s wife but someone with tangible products.

Perhaps some observant person discovered the relationship between Lin Wanqing and the Su Po brand, as perfume sales soared several times over.

The cost was that Yan Qiu couldn’t see her all day.

In the office, after the fifth time of The number you have dialed is currently unavailable, Yan Qiu put her phone down on the table.

She said grimly, “Is Lin Wanqing still busy?”

Yu Fei: “Madam went to S City in the south to attend a fashion show and a dinner.”

Yan Qiu’s voice was calm, but faintly tinged with anger. “This is the seventh day she hasn’t stayed home. Is work more important than me?”

The secretary was silent for a moment. “Madam’s career is on the rise.”

Yan Qiu glanced at the secretary. “You used to say that my workload was ninety percent of Lin Wanqing’s.”

Yu Fei quietly defended herself. “I used to say eighty percent, Boss. You misremembered.”

Yan Qiu: “…”

Yu Fei took out a photo taken at the fashion show. Lin Wanqing was sitting next to a beautiful young model. The model had just turned adult, in the prime of her life, and smiled like a blazing sun.

One was lively, the other refined.

The model was wearing a dress designed by Lin Wanqing, and the two were taking a selfie together.

Yu Fei: “An eighteen-year-old girl. Who can resist that?”

Yan Qiu: “.”

In two years, she would be thirty.

A woman over thirty would be unwanted in the dating market.

Not to mention a woman over thirty with disabled legs.

Yan Qiu sneered. “Lin Wanqing doesn’t stay home. Don’t worry about her.”

Just a few days ago, they were deeply affectionate, and she even wrote good things about her in her diary, but now, faced with a little temptation, she won’t even make a phone call.

Yu Fei poured the boss a cup of hot coffee. “Miss Lin is still young, and it’s normal for her to enjoy socializing.”

Yan Qiu felt more and more of a headache, which brought on a combined stomachache and leg pain.

“What’s wrong with her always hanging out with pretty girls?”

Yu Fei stammered for a long time. “Does Miss Lin have to hang out with pretty boys and younger men?”

Yan Qiu: “…”

Yan Qiu returned to the empty house after a long day of work. At this hour, Lin Wanqing used to be either working in the study or waiting for her on the sofa.

Like a little rabbit with Timothy grass in its mouth, she would also be chewing on a chocolate bar.

Now, the entire house was deserted.

Even the butler’s figure looked a little more desolate.

Yan Qiu sat down at the table, and the maid brought hot food to the dining table.

Six dishes and one soup, plus two small cold appetizers.

Yan Qiu: “Why so many dishes? Is the house so extravagant every day?”

The maid replied with a long face, “To answer the boss, before Miss Lin came, we always cooked according to this standard.”

Yan Qiu paid the maid well, and the maid diligently prepared meals according to the daily budget for groceries.

Yan Qiu rubbed her brow in distress. “But…”

The maid sighed, “When there were fewer dishes, it was Miss Lin who personally cooked. Miss Lin has limited energy and can only make three dishes and one soup, so it seemed more frugal.”

This house was filled with Lin Wanqing’s presence.

Maid: “Should I clear the dishes first?”

Yan Qiu shook her head. “Forget it. Let’s eat as is, and put the leftovers in the fridge.”

Yan Qiu had a poor stomach from years of medication. Lin Wanqing would prepare a bowl of millet porridge before meals and medicinal bird’s nest stew after meals, with dishes focused on aiding digestion.

Out of pride, not wanting others to know her stomach hurt, the dishes, though tasty, were not suitable for someone with a stomachache.

Yan Qiu picked up a piece of spare rib and chewed it carefully.

The more she ate, the more desolate she felt.

Even the cries of the stray cats outside sounded hoarse.

The butler served Yan Qiu a bowl of soup, discreetly averting his gaze from the boss’s face.

Yan Qiu: “You look hesitant. What do you want to say?”

The butler was hesitant, then stopped himself, then started again. “N-nothing.”

The previously decisive butler and secretary had started to stammer lately, which annoyed Yan Qiu.

“It’s nothing, really. I just remembered Old Master Li next door’s third wife. That madam is only in her early twenties, spending her days as a lonely wife in the house, watching CEO Li go out and be promiscuous, with a different woman on each arm.”

“Are you mocking me?”

The butler quickly lowered his head and apologized. “My apologies, Boss. I didn’t mean that. It was my slip of the tongue.”

He must have been corrupted by that reckless secretary.

Yan Qiu put down her chopsticks. “Book me the nearest flight to S City.”

After the fashion show, Lin Wanqing and the newly acquainted young model sat at the edge of the pool.

Lin Wanqing was uncomfortable with overly revealing bikinis. Her top and bottom were a pink ruffled swimsuit, and one straight, long leg was immersed in the water.

Chang Qingshu covered her mouth and giggled. “I love your designs, Teacher Lin. I didn’t expect you to also have talent in perfumery.”

Lin Wanqing took a sample out from the table and threw it to her. “A little something I mixed by chance. Try the scent.”

Chang Qingshu dabbed it on her wrist, her beautiful peach blossom eyes surprised.

“Teacher Lin, you are too outstanding! This scent is more fragrant than a virgin in a garden of freesias. Just one sniff is exhilarating.”

Lin Wanqing: “You flatter me.”

Chang Qingshu leaned closer. “I heard Teacher Lin is married to the chairperson of Huiyan Group. I envy you. That chairperson is also a great beauty. If it weren’t for that car accident…”

Her voice trailed off, and she immediately covered her mouth.

The pool party was a gathering of beauties. Yan Qiu was fully and conservatively dressed, sitting upright in her wheelchair, gently stroking her ruby-red ebony cane. Her rigid and severe gold-rimmed glasses made her entire presence even more imposing.

Yu Fei pushed the boss into the party. The security outside didn’t dare to check their admission tickets.

“Boss, I see Madam.”

Even before getting closer, numerous long legs came into view.

Yan Qiu: “It’s absolutely indecent!”

Yu Fei pointed to the pool not far away. “The one in the pink swimsuit is Madam.”

Yan Qiu didn’t rush to move her wheelchair forward, watching Lin Wanqing and a young, beautiful model huddled together from a distance with the secretary.

The scene looked very suitable.

“This kind of party should be reported and banned.”

Yu Fei leaned in and whispered to the boss, “Our group has invested in it. Isn’t it inappropriate to report it?”

Yan Qiu frowned and sternly questioned, “What kind of inappropriate and indecent things is the group investing in?”

Yu Fei flipped through past meeting minutes on her phone. “But, Boss, you were the one who said to be more open-minded, more inclusive, and to let young designers be more passionate, unrestricted by formality, and besides, it’s legal.”

Yan Qiu had never seen such a tactless secretary. She pushed her away.

The wheelchair slowly moved toward the edge of the pool where Lin Wanqing was, parting the crowd like the Red Sea.

Yu Fei cautiously followed behind, worrying about the wheelchair slipping.

Lin Wanqing and Chang Qingshu were talking happily. Lin Wanqing pinched the model’s calf. “The muscle lines are so beautiful. You must have deliberately trained them.”

Chang Qingshu’s ears turned bright red from the pinch. “That tickles, hahaha, don’t move your hand up.”

Neither of them noticed that the surroundings were becoming quieter, with only the music still playing distractingly.

Behind them, the crowd parted like the Red Sea. All the models and designers stood to the side, towels draped over their shivering bodies.

Chang Qingshu smiled and grabbed Lin Wanqing’s pinky finger. “Teacher Lin, it must be so boring staying next to Yan Qiu every day. As a disabled person, she needs you to wait on her for everything. You’re only in your early twenties. How can you be expected to do a nanny’s chores?”

Lin Wanqing was immersed in the model’s beautiful physique. She measured it with an artistic eye and found every part perfect.

She suddenly realized the surroundings were too quiet…

“Yan Qiu, she…” Lin Wanqing’s voice gradually faded.

Yan Qiu’s deep voice suddenly appeared from behind. “What about Yan Qiu? Go on.”
