Chapter 7 Office Gossip

"When I first came to a foreign country, I was unfamiliar with the place, and I had to rely on myself to do everything. Foreigners were especially harsh on Chinese students. Once I didn't finish my homework, and the teacher didn't give me a grade. I stood in the rain for a whole day... "

When mentioning the past, Qi Yan smiled heartlessly, but the lightly sunken pear dimple still revealed a touch of sadness, "I rented a house in Chicago, and I decorated it myself from head to toe, even the paint every year I did it myself..."

"Oh, from that time on, I knew that it's useless to rely on anyone, it's better to rely on myself."

Qi Yan gritted her teeth, and when she applied the alcohol to the wound, the blood spurted out, the pores dilated, and the irritating pain came, and she still let out a 'hiss' sound unbearably.

The painful little face turned pale.

Shao Yunchen was startled, then turned around and saw the woman applying the potion clumsily. When the force was not gentle, he almost subconsciously walked in front of her in three steps at a time, and then snatched the potion from Qi Yan's hand. The medicine bottle, sitting by the bed, pressed her arm.

The sudden change made Qi Yan hard to guard against, a sharp light flashed in her eyes for an instant, but then disappeared quickly.

"Hello..." She uttered a little unaccustomed to it, and stretched out her hand to stop it.

"do not move."

Shao Yunchen scolded lightly, his delicate face was a little more dangerous, and he glanced at her with a displeased look.

"Qi Yan, since you have decided to be a grasshopper on a rope with me, you'd better stick to your duty."

He needs his wife to understand the general situation, not to cause him trouble all the time.

Qi Yan couldn't help but calmed down, staring at him, her twinkling eyes swept from the man's full forehead, to the tall nose bridge, and then to the sexy thin lips.

He is simply the best among men, 360 degrees without dead ends...

But then, Qi Yan felt ashamed of her thoughts...

How could she forget that the relationship between the two of them was originally a marriage full of benefits?

"Mr. Shao, you call yourself a grasshopper?" She poked her head and asked.

Shao Yunchen glanced at her coldly, swung his hand sideways, and the strength of the knot just touched Qi Yan's wound. After the woman let out a miserable cry, she clutched her palm tightly, and the painful tears wanted to flow down. Lose.

The man stood up calmly, "Okay."

Less than a moment after the anti-inflammatory drug was applied, the swelling tended to subside on the back of the hand. Some blood seeped out from the gauze, but it was not a serious problem. Qi Yan pursed her lips and tidied up her things simply.

She raised her wrist and glanced at the time. It was 07:30, and she hadn't had time to eat breakfast yet. It would take at least 20 minutes to drive from here to the law firm. It seemed that she could only buy meals for herself along the way.

"By the way, can you hail a taxi near your place?"

Shao Yunchen had already opened the door, Qi Yan just remembered something important and asked quickly.

Although the agreement listed by Shao Yunchen stated that there would be a special car to pick her up after get off work in the morning and evening, but she still didn't like to bother others.

Shao Yunchen frowned, and Chen Kai's voice came from downstairs, "Sir, it's time for you to go to work."

In front of him, Qi Yan was waiting for his response with watery eyes.

"Pack up your things, I'll take you there later." Then he pushed Qi Yan's shoulder with a little disgust, and after she completely stood outside the room, he happened to close the door.

With a 'bang' sound, Qi Yan's scalp was numb, and she looked at Chen Kai who walked up the stairs in a dumbfounded manner. Chen Kai glanced at him in confusion, and then swept towards the closed door behind Qi Yan, "Madam, What did sir just say?"

Qi Yan's palms were cold, and her stomach felt swollen, as if a breath was held in her heart, jumping up and down.

"No, it's nothing." Her mind was buzzing, and she barely had a response.

When I go home, I have to get along with Shao Yunchen day and night, and when I go to work, I have to take Shao Yunchen's car...

Shouldn't this be a marriage by agreement?But now, she may deal with Shao Yunchen at any time...

Oh my god—Qi Yan couldn't help but touch her forehead.

***

Sitting in Shao Yunchen's car, she was silent all the way, just leaning on the window, watching the flying scenery outside.

Over the years, City A has undergone tremendous changes. The former low-rise flat buildings have become high-rise buildings, and the waste dumps that were piled up wantonly before have been improved into green screens, and fashionable modern girls walk around on the streets.

Ten minutes later, the car parked steadily at the door of the law firm. Shao Yunchen looked at her with dull eyes, "Here we are."

The woman moved her body, turned her eyes away, gave a guilty 'oh', grabbed the bag on her lap, opened the door and got out of the car.

"You don't need to take a taxi at night, someone will pick you up at the door of the company." Shao Yunchen straightened his posture and said something behind her calmly.

Qi Yan had already run away for a few steps, and when she heard it, she was shocked, and then she pretended not to hear, and walked into the company at a faster pace.

Behind him, Bentley started slowly, turned in a perfect arc, and galloped away.

Qi Yan walked all the way to the front desk along the lobby of the company, took the key to the office, and walked towards the elevator.

Her office is on the ninth floor of the company, which was planned when she signed the cooperation agreement with Shuguang Law Firm. Su Xiaoxiao is the assistant lawyer specially assigned to her by the company, and the office is next door to her.

At this point in time, Su Xiaoxiao should still be busy filing.

Qi Yan knocked on the door, only to hear a murmur in the room, she didn't wait for the person inside to open the door, she turned the doorknob directly.

But when he saw the scene in the back room, his jaw almost dropped in shock.

Little Su was lying on the sofa, as if being pushed down by someone. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, three or five male and female staff stood side by side, with their hands raised high in a gesture of surrender.

Apparently this group of people were lying on the window looking at something just now, they were in a hurry when they heard the knock on the door, and even overturned the filing materials on the desk, Qi Yan moved her eyes away from the scattered papers on the ground, and looked at the few people in front of her , each of them opened their mouths wide enough to swallow a duck egg.

This posture is like a few people fighting together just now, but Qi Yan, who is a lawyer, naturally smells something unusual, not to mention that Su Xiaoxiao's mouth is so open, it is clear that there is something happy about it.

"What happened? The project team of the Far East Group made an appointment with us for three days to discuss. What are you all doing here? Are you all ready?" Qi Yan glanced suspiciously at several people.

Several people shook their heads in unison, only Su Xiaoxiao got up from the sofa, straightened her messy shirt, and jumped in front of Qi Yan in a jerk, the rest of them waited. Stretching his head, he wanted to find out.
