The Tycoon’s Enchanted Mermaid

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Bastard Qin Yu

Wide eyes stared at small ones as the air seemed to stand still.

After a moment, Wei Lan covered his eyes with one hand and stretched out the other to pull the doorknob, muttering, “Don’t look if it’s impolite, don’t listen if it’s impolite, I didn’t see anything.”

“Carry on, carry on!”

The door was closed again, and Ah Dai petrified in Qin Yu’s arms. The hand resting on his shoulder loosened, and her shoe dropped to the ground with a “plop.”

Qin Yu was as calm as a breeze, but the little lady in his arms wore an expression as if the sky had fallen, which was particularly amusing.

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

Qin Yu’s low, husky voice echoed in her ear, and Ah Dai instantly became enraged, pounding his chest with her fists like raindrops.

“It’s all your fault, we were seen, put me down now!”

“What were we seen doing?”

Ah Dai was at a loss for words, her eyes reddening as she didn’t know how to express the feeling, but the look from the man at the door had made her so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole.

And he still had the nerve to ask what they saw. He really was shameless. Ah Dai turned her face away, her chest heaving with anger.

Qin Yu chuckled softly, turned on his heel, and easily set her down on the sofa, then turned back to pick up the shoe.

With his fingers clearly defined as they hooked the shoelaces, he walked towards the sofa and knelt down.

Ah Dai trembled with surprise at his actions and reached out to snatch the shoe, “I can put it on myself…”

Qin Yu’s black eyes were cold and indifferent; he ignored her protest and firmly grabbed her calf to help her put on the shoe.

Strands of hair covered his brow and eyes, below was his straight nose and thin lips. He bent his head, utterly focused as if he was dealing with the most precious treasure in the world.

Ah Dai bit her lip, thinking that since he wanted to help, she might as well let him; she didn’t force him.

Although that was what she thought, her heartbeat still involuntarily accelerated. The cool touch of the man’s fingers on her calf was like an electric current, causing her heart to flutter.

After Qin Yu had finished putting on her shoe, he looked up at her and said softly, “Always not wearing shoes, where did this habit come from?”

Ah Dai retorted indignantly, “I’m Merfolk, and Merfolk just don’t like wearing shoes; they’re uncomfortable.”

Qin Yu chuckled, “Liar.”

“You’re the one lying.” With her bluff called out, Ah Dai’s cheeks burned red. She kicked out towards him, but her calf was precisely caught by the man, who held it and prevented her from moving.

“You’re getting bolder.”

Seeing she couldn’t win, Ah Dai flopped backwards onto the couch and randomly threw a pillow.

“Go away, I’m not talking to you anymore.”

Qin Yu stood up to catch the pillow, gazed at the little lady throwing a tantrum on the sofa, sighed softly, placed the pillow beside her, and then turned to enter the washroom.

Ah Dai lifted her head stealthily when she heard the door, sat up to tidy her hair and dress, and seeing the shoe placed neatly on her foot, was inwardly frustrated. She grabbed the pillow and started pounding it furiously.

Damn you, Qin Yu!

Jerk, Qin Yu!

Always bullying her; she didn’t want to listen to him!

When the sound of the door opening came, Ah Dai immediately threw away the pillow and turned back to lie on the couch, burying her head.

Qin Yu walked slowly over and patted her leg, “Someone’s coming in; are you sure you want to stay lying like this?”

The little lady played dead and didn’t move. Qin Yu chuckled and walked towards the door.

When Ah Dai sensed that Qin Yu was far enough away, she sat up to neaten her disheveled hair and suddenly noticed a white paper bag on the table, smooth and glossy, with “Sikkim” printed on the front.

That must be the item that woman brought.

She had heard it in the pocket.

Ah Da glanced at the door and, not seeing Qin Yu’s figure, leaned carefully over the sofa to check.

A sweet, cloying scent, probably from food, wafted in the air, making Ah Da’s mood a bit stuffy as she turned to sit back down.

At this moment, Wei Lan was sitting on the assistant’s office sofa with his legs crossed, sipping coffee and humming a song while sending messages on his phone, his smile growing increasingly lewd.

Assistant Zhang Qian kept casting sidelong glances, full of question marks; was Mr. Wei celebrating some great joy today?

Qin Yu appeared at the doorway, and Wei Lan immediately stood up, his eyes shining with gossip, and pretended to check his watch, “Third Young Master, your timing… isn’t it a bit off?”

“Do you have a death wish?” Qin Yu’s voice was ice cold, “If you have something to say, say it; if not, then scram.”

“No no no, just kidding,” Wei Lan quickly approached with a hop and a skip, his eyes involuntarily peeking behind Qin Yu, which earned him a cold glare.

“Am I not even allowed to look? You’re being a bit too vigilant,” Wei Lan muttered quietly.

His gaze accidentally swept over the pearl necklace on Qin Yu’s wrist and his eyebrows jumped uncontrollably.

Was he seeing things? They already had couple bracelets?

Wei Lan was completely shocked, unable to imagine the Qin Yu of the past wearing this kind of slightly feminine accessory—a pale pink pearl?

This was not something a hardened man should wear; Qin Yu seemed to be forsaking all his principles.

Who would have thought that Third Young Master would act like this in love? The power of love was indeed great.

Wei Lan looked at Qin Yu with an ambiguous expression.

“Put away your messy thoughts,” Qin Yu warned lightly and turned to go back into his office.

“Understood, understood,” Wei Lan chuckled in agreement, grinning knowingly as he followed Qin Yu into the office, looking around sneakily with a heavy sense of thievery.

The young girl sat upright on the sofa, holding a pillow and looking as quiet and well-behaved as a student in class.

Her dress and hair were neat and tidy, her neck and shoulders pristine, without a single trace; Wei Lan realized he had greatly misunderstood the situation.

But he couldn’t be blamed; at the time, Qin Yu was carrying the girl, shoeless, with a face red as an apple, looking like he urgently needed to use the resting room for some private matter.

Who wouldn’t get the wrong idea after seeing such a scene?

Wei Lan glanced at Qin Yu and touched his nose.

Ah Da’s clear, monochromatic eyes stared unblinkingly at the two men walking in from the door; similar in height, yet worlds apart in temperament—one cold and composed, the other flashy and unrestrained.

The only thing they had in common was that both were good-looking.

Qin Yu took a seat next to Ah Da first, while Wei Lan waved a greeting, fully embodying the essence of thick-skinned familiarity.

“Hello again, it seems we are quite fated,” he said.

“You must remember me, I’m Qin Yu’s friend, my name is Wei Lan.”

Ah Da muttered to herself, this didn’t really count as fate, did it?

Looking at the man dressed up like a peacock, Ah Da responded out of politeness:

“Hello.”

The young girl was pleasant to look at and had a sweet voice, making Wei Lan sigh at Qin Yu’s good fortune, wondering where he had found such a treasure, as he plopped down across from her.

“By the way, our last meeting was so brief, you didn’t tell me what your name was?”

Wei Lan was earnest, his peachy eyes twinkling with laughter, exuding a charming carefreeness.

Ah Da involuntarily glanced at Qin Yu beside her, and when she saw him looking over, she quickly averted her gaze.

“Su Qingdai, you can just call me Ah Da.”

“Su Qingdai, Qing Dai, such a melodious name, as poetic as the person it belongs to,” Wei Lan exaggerated with a flourish, struggling to recite a couple of lines of poetry as praise.

This made Ah Da feel a bit embarrassed, unable to handle his enthusiasm as she quietly leaned back with the pillow in her arms.
