Chapter 38: A Seductive Effect

The Qu Family already had a new supply chain and did not need the Yi Family anymore. However, no other restaurant in the entire Federation of China needed such a huge supply of ingredients. If the stockpiled ingredients could not be sold, they would slowly rot. The Yi Family could not afford such a huge loss.

Only then did the Yi Family begin to regret their previous actions. They did not want to really cut ties with the Qu Family, so they asked Yi Han to coax Qu Xiaowan first. Yi Han also could not bear to part with Qu Xiaowan. He naively thought that there was something going on between Qu Xiaowan and the First Commander, so he had always wanted to win Qu Xiaowan back. However, he cowered when the First Commander stood beside him with a murderous aura.

He smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m here to see how Xiaoman’s legs are.”

Qu Xiaowan nodded and did not care at all. She turned around and held Jing Yu’s arm. “Commander, my grandfather wants to meet you. Is that okay?”

Jing Yu was not used to his little wife holding his arm intimately, but he did not feel disgusted. He nodded and said, “Sure.”

Qu Xiaowan said, “That’s great. Wait for me. I’ll pack up the documents. My grandfather is waiting in the lounge at the back.”

“Mmm.” Jing Yu replied.

Qu Xiaoman finally came back to her senses. She was stunned by the two of them who suddenly appeared. She did not know how much they had heard her.

Then, she was forced to watch Qu Xiaowan’s show off her love. She was really angry.

However, a trace of surprise appeared on Qu Xiaoman’s face when she heard Yi Han’s words. She immediately walked to Yi Han’s side and said gently, “Brother Yi, you’re still thinking about me. My legs are already much better. Brother Yi, don’t worry. These flowers are so beautiful. Are you giving them to me?”

Yi Han couldn’t care less about what Qu Xiaoman said. He stuffed the roses into her hand and watched helplessly as Qu Xiaowan packed up the documents, holding Jing Yu’s arm. The bitterness in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.

Yi Han pulled his hand out of Qu Xiaoman’s arms and asked solemnly, “Xiaoman, how did your aircraft malfunction that day?”

Qu Xiaoman was shocked. “Brother Yi, I—”

Yi Han looked at Qu Xiaoman in disappointment. “I’ve always treated you as my younger sister, that’s why I’m good to you. I didn’t expect you to do such a thing even though you know that I love Xiaowan!”

Qu Xiaoman was shocked. Yi Han had indeed heard what she said just now!

***

On the other hand, Qu Xiaowan and Jing Yu were walking on the carpet. She naturally retracted her hand.

Jing Yu looked down at her.

Qu Xiaowan did not quite understand what the Commander was thinking, so she said, “Why are you looking for me?, Sir”

Jing Yu’s eyes darkened. “You don’t have to use honorifics with me. We’re husband and wife.”

Qu Xiaowan said, “Alright, is there anything else besides sending flowers to me?”

Jing Yu stopped in his tracks and looked at his cold little wife, who was looking at him seriously. Although she was very polite, she was also a little distant, which made him very unhappy.

He said, “I’m here to take you home.”

Qu Xiaowan frowned. “Then what I asked you previously…”

“We’ll talk when we get home.” Jing Yu answered.

Qu Xiaowan wanted to ask something else, but Old Master Qu, Qu Zhen, and Qu Teng, who were busy in the kitchen when they received the news that the Commander was coming, rushed over. Seeing her grandfather’s agitated expression, Qu Xiaowan sighed and could only swallow her words.

She would tell him when she got home. Anyway, Ah Yu’s manic period in this month had passed. Qu Xiaowan firmly believed that as long as it was not the cute Ah Yu, she was confident that she could face Commander Jing calmly.

“Commander Jing, why are you here?” Old Master Qu’s face was filled with respect. Qu Zhen and Qu Teng also looked at Jing Yu respectfully.

Jing Yu nodded lightly. “I’m here to bring Xiaowan home.”

Although his voice was very cold and deep, Qu Xiaowan’s heart skipped a beat when he called her Xiaowan. The word “home” seemed to have a seductive effect!

This was a different feeling from when Ah Yu called her Big Sister in the manic state.

Seeing that Commander Jing cared so much about Xiaowan, Old Master Qu’s smile widened. “It’s time for dinner now. You can go back after dinner with Xiaowan.”

Other than eating in the palace, Jing Yu rarely ate outside.

Qu Xiaowan was worried that he would reject her grandfather. Of course, even if he rejected her grandfather, she had other excuses.

However, Jing Yu said, “Okay.”

Although he only said one word, everyone in the Qu Family was very happy.

Old Master Qu asked Qu Xiaowan to keep Jing Yu company while he brought his son and nephew to the kitchen to cook.
