After Qin Lu finished eating, Nan Yan took the dishes to the sink and washed them clean, then put them away.
Qin Lu took a lollipop from the drawer of his desk, unwrapped it, extended his long arm, and directly brought it to her lips.
Nan Yan opened her mouth and bit it, her tongue licked the candy, and the fragrance of lychee spread between her lips and teeth.
With so many flavors of lollipops, lychee flavor was still her favorite.
Qin Lu’s fingers sensually brushed lightly over her lips, his eyes darkening, and he gently chuckled, “Yanyan, if you’re not busy, would you like to wait for me to finish work and go home together?”
“Sure.”
Anyway, she didn’t have anything else to do.
Qin Lu was in a cheerful mood, “I’ll go to the meeting first, and if you get bored, you can use the computer.”
Nan Yan nodded obediently.
The meeting, which was interrupted for half an hour, resumed after Qin Lu returned to the conference room.
The executives sitting below discreetly glanced at the high and mighty CEO Qin.
They really hadn’t expected that CEO Qin, being a mortal, would actually be in a romantic relationship!
What made it even more unbelievable for them was that CEO Qin’s girlfriend was still in high school…
This… is a bit too outrageous!
At the very least, find someone older!
Qin Lu glanced around and asked casually, “So, do any of you have any questions for me?” “Nothing, nothing…”
“No, no…”
Everyone quickly waved their hands, then promptly straightened up, suppressing their curiosity, and getting into the meeting mode.
Nan Yan sat in Qin Lu’s boss chair, playing with his computer.
Perhaps feeling it was a bit unfair to have Bai Chen do all the work for her, Nan Yan switched to her own account and logged into the Dark Realm.
As soon as her Pioneer account came online, she received a private message.
Zui Gui: [Yanyan, where did you take Bai Chen?]
Pioneer: [He’s helping me with something.]
Zui Gui: [What are you both up to?]
Pioneer: [Seeking revenge for me.]
Zui Gui: [Revenge for what? Do you need our help?]
Pioneer: [Not at the moment, but when I need you, I’ll let you know.]
Zui Gui: [Alright. When are you coming to M country? Can we meet up?]
Pioneer: [Let’s wait a bit longer. I don’t want to expose my identity.]
The main reason was that she was afraid that Li Yuan and Zui Gui would not be able to accept her becoming like this.
Zui Gui didn’t force her to return, but he reminded her a few times that if she needed anything, she shouldn’t hesitate to ask.
Nan Yan certainly wouldn’t be hesitant.
For now, she really didn’t need their help, but when she did in the future, she would definitely ask for it.
Just like Bai Chen, who was forcibly recruited, a Dark Realm supervisor, now working as a spy.
Right after her conversation with Zui Gui, Li Yuan’s chat window also lit up.
Li Yuan: [Are you investigating the Seven Deadly Sins’ matter?]
Pioneer: [Yes, it’s related to my blood feud.]
Li Yuan and the others were the four who knew about Nan Yan’s background.
They knew her parents had been brutally murdered, and she had learned from Bai Chen that her parents’ deaths were related to the Xi Shijin.
Now, the Seven Deadly Sins were involved as well, and she wanted revenge. It seemed there was even more to investigate.
Li Yuan: [Do you need help?] It was the same tone as Zui Gui’s.
He, Zui Gui, and Bai Chen had long considered Nan Yan as a sister.
Ironically, Nan Yan, who was regarded as a sister by them, was the most formidable among the four of them.
All along, it had been Nan Yan taking care of them, so now that there was a rare opportunity for them to help her, they naturally couldn’t refuse.
Nan Yan didn’t hesitate either and replied: [When I need help, I will find you.]
Li Yuan: [What mission did you send Bai Chen on?]
Pioneer: [Playing a Mission Impossible game.]
Li Yuan: [I bet he loves it.]
Pioneer: [I guess…]
Meanwhile, at this moment, Bai Chen, who was thought by Li Yuan and Nan Yan to be enjoying this mission, was teetering on the edge of a meltdown.
Why was he on the verge of a meltdown?
Naturally, it was because of the man by his side, Shen Junqing.
Seven days into infiltrating the Seven Deadly Sins through Merck Biopharmaceuticals.
The process had gone smoothly, and the person they met with hadn’t suspected their identities.
Work-related matters were going well, but…
Bai Chen had every reason to suspect that Shen Junqing and he were incompatible by nature.
To cooperate with their act, their outward identities were that of brothers. However, the Seven Deadly Sins’ members mistakenly believed they had some special relationship. So, when the Seven Deadly Sins came to visit, they were assigned to share a room.
Sharing a room wasn’t an issue in itself; it was a two-bedroom apartment, and they wouldn’t disturb each other.
But who would have guessed that during dinner one night, Shen Junqing ate something he was allergic to, leading to vomiting and diarrhea, along with a red rash all over his body.
Even his face beneath the human skin mask was severely affected.
Upon returning to their room, Shen Junqing locked the door and removed his human skin mask, revealing a face that was even more horrifying than his body.
His once fair skin was now covered in large, red patches, making him look terrifying.
Shen Junqing was in great discomfort, running a high fever, becoming irritable, and suffering from intense itching all over his body.
In order to avoid disfiguration, he had to restrain himself from scratching, which was driving him almost insane.
To divert his attention, he asked Bai Chen to fight with him, both to expend energy and to shift his focus.
Feeling sorry for Shen Junqing’s current suffering, Bai Chen didn’t go all out.
However, this wretched Shen Junqing was ruthless in his attacks.
While beating each other, they also insulted each other harshly.
Bai Chen’s anger flared.
If a fight was what he wanted, then a fight was what he’d get!
Bai Chen also lost control, and the two of them fought fiercely.
A sudden knocking on the door snapped them out of their brawl.
They both simultaneously released each other and stepped back.
Bai Chen fixed his disheveled clothes from the scuffle and said to Shen Junqing, “Go hide in the bathroom.”
Shen Junqing was currently using his real face and couldn’t risk exposure.
“Okay.”
Shen Junqing covered his face and went into the bathroom.
After the intense fight, his rationality had returned somewhat.
Although he still itched all over his body, he could now endure it.
Bai Chen waited for him to enter the bathroom before opening the door.
Outside stood the gentlemanly Chapman.
“I apologize for the unpleasant experience at tonight’s dinner. Here’s some medication for allergies.”
Chapman held out a pill and glanced into the room. “And Mr. Shen?”
Bai Chen accepted the medication, his expression indifferent. “He’s taking a cold shower.”
Chapman looked at Bai Chen’s crumpled clothes from the scuffle and let out a knowing “Oh.” He added, “I won’t disturb you both any longer. I’ll come to apologize to Mr. Shen tomorrow.”
Bai Chen remained expressionless and watched as Chapman left. He then locked the door again before taking the medication and heading to the bathroom.
Shen Junqing, who was in the middle of a shower, resisted the itching sensation and froze for a second when Bai Chen entered, quickly grabbing the shower curtain and pulling it shut.
“Why didn’t you knock?” Shen Junqing’s tone was filled with frustration.
Bai Chen:
How was he supposed to know that Shen Junqing was actually taking a shower?
