My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 119
Chapter 119 Christmas Present
After Bian Zijun sent her home, he drove off and left.
She pretended like nothing had happened and walked into the house. She saw that Qin Xiaozhi was chatting with Yu Zhongguang in the living room. As such, she grinned and walked over while saying, “Grandfather, tonight is Christmas Eve. Have you had an apple?”
“Christmas Eve?” Although Qin Xiaozhi did not pay much attention to such Western festive seasons, it did not mean that he was clueless about them. He smiled and said, “It must be a lively night out there. All the youngsters love to join in on the fun.”
“Yes, it must be very exciting out there. How I wish I could head out to have fun as well.” Mu Yu acted like she was disappointed.
Only then did Qin Xiaozhi notice that his grandson had not come home with her. He immediately asked, “Where is Huan?”
“He’s in a meeting.”
“What kind of meeting is he in at such hours?”
Upon seeing how Qin Xiaozhi had no clue about Qin Jinhuan’s meeting, Mu Yu felt even more certain that her deduction was right. She then took out her phone and purposely said, “Perhaps he is done with his meeting. Let me give him a call.”
Then, she sat down beside Qin Xiaozhi and video called Qin Jinhuan.
Beep— Beep— Beep—
After the third beep, Qin Jinhuan hung up on the call.
I knew it.
She snorted and pretended like she was confused while murmuring to herself, “Eh? Why did he hang up on the call?”
Qin Xiaozhi had warned his grandson in the past that he was not allowed to hang up on Mu Yu’s call no matter where and when. Thus, he instantly realized that something was amiss. He immediately summoned Qi Hao to come over and said, “Go and look into what Huan is doing right now.”
“Yes boss.”
Just as Qi Hao was about to make a call, Mu Yu’s phone rang. Upon seeing that the caller was Wen Zeyu, she was rather surprised. She glanced at her grandfather and then picked up the video call.
“Zeyu, you… Qin Jinhuan?”
She had not expected him to appear next to Wen Zeyu as she thought that Qin Jinhuan would be off having fun with Yi Anran.
With a solemn look on his face but in a rather gentle voice, he said, “My phone battery ran out and my phone died. Is something up?”
Mu Yu could tell that he was in his office and the sounds of Wen Zeyu as well as a couple of the other senior executives could also be heard from time to time. That was when Mu Yu realized that she had misunderstood him and she quickly replied, “Grandfather wanted me to ask you what time you will be back for dinner.”
“You all go ahead and have dinner first. I still have a couple more things to settle.”
“Oh alright. Don’t stay till too late.”
Just then, Wen Zeyu’s face appeared onto the screen and he said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Once we are done with work, I will immediately escort Huan back home.”
“Get lost!” Qin Jinhuan smacked him on the back of his head and then said towards Mu Yu, “Alright.” Then he hung up on the phone.
“I think the case of the canteen manager is still bothering him. Let’s ignore him and have our dinner first. The chef made all of your favorite dishes tonight.” Qin Xiaozhi was relieved. He then got up while grinning as he gestured for Mu Yu to enter the dining area.
He was rather satisfied with his grandson’s performance just now.
Mu Yu kept quiet and followed suit into the dining area.
I thought that Qin Jinhuan was with Yi Anran and that way I would be able to punish them by exposing them in front of grandfather. How would I have known that he was actually working in the office?
Guess he got lucky.
She regretted not taking some photos in the afternoon of Qin Jinhuan being with Yi Anran whereby they were going into Xinlong Hotel to have sex.
Oh wells. As long as the two of them are still together I would always have other opportunities in the future. She snorted.
After dinner, Mu Yu accompanied her grandfather and chatted about Zhao Yongli’s case. After some time, she was feeling rather lethargic and Qin Jinhuan was still not back home. Thus, she could not wait any longer and returned back to her room to rest.
She felt unhappy when she saw that the bedding on the couch had been folded neatly and placed on the bed. Thus, she grabbed the bedding and threw it back onto the couch. She had always been against sleeping with him on the same bed. Now that she discovered the affair he had with Yi Anran, she was even more disgusted to be in the same bed as him.
She took a shower and just as she was about to lie down on the couch to rest, she glanced upon the delivery parcel that was opened which was lying on the coffee table. All the parcels sent to the Qin Family would be opened and vetted through by Qi Hao and the rest of his men. That was to avoid any unforeseen accident from occurring. Mu Yu knew that all along thus she did not mind that the parcel had already been opened. Only then did she realize that this was the Christmas present that she had gotten for her grandfather. Therefore, she quickly got up and ran out the door as she wanted to deliver the present over to her grandfather.
The door on her grandfather’s room was locked and just as Mu Yu was about to knock on the door, she heard the voice of her grandfather coming from the reading room. She immediately turned around and headed over to the reading room instead. Just as she was about to push open the door, she heard her grandfather saying, “Have you gotten Yu a Christmas present?” Mu Yu was stunned when she heard that and she continued to eavesdrop onto the conversation.
“Okay, that’s good. Remember to be more caring and loving towards Yu. Otherwise I would make sure to make Yi Anran’s life difficult. Glad that you understand. Come home soon, Yu is still waiting for you.”
Oh, Grandfather was speaking to Qin Jinhuan.
I knew it. Grandfather was the only reason that he was still being so polite to me.
That instantly wiped out her interest in passing the gift to his grandfather. Thus, she turned around and returned back to her room. She lay down on the couch in a bad mood and pinched hard onto the blanket as if she was pinching onto Qin Jinhuan’s waist.
After some time, Mu Yu fell asleep. She had not expected to fall asleep just like that so she was only awakened when she felt that someone was touching her.
“What are you doing!”
She pushed Qin Jinhuan away and quickly covered herself up with the blanket. Then, she glared angrily at him who was only inches away from her.
Qin Jinhuan who was squatting down halfway was thrown off his balance and he fell backwards. He immediately turned his arm around and grabbed onto the coffee table. Only then did he manage to stabilize himself. However, he did not escape unscathed as he knocked his arm onto the coffee table that was made out of marble. Therefore, he grimaced in pain.
Qin Jinhuan was rarely put in an embarrassing situation and thus upon seeing this, Mu Yu’s mood instantly became much better. She could not help but chuckle in joy.
Qin Jinhuan glared at her unhappily and slowly stood up. He pointed at the box on the coffee table and said, “This is your present.”
“What is that?”
Qin Jinhuan ignored her and walked towards the restroom. Mu Yu realized that was her Christmas present but she snorted in disdain. “Take the present away, I don’t want it.”
She was certain that he had prepared a present for Yi Anran in advance whereas her present was only bought after the reminder by her grandfather.
She felt annoyed by the thought of that.
“It’s a present tailored for you.”
“I don’t care.”
“You don’t want it even before looking at the present?”
“I already know what kind of present it is without even looking at it.”
It would definitely be some jewellery, diamonds or whatsoever. So tacky.
He turned around and with his eyebrows raised, he said, “This is a present you would not have expected. I am sure you would like it so take a look at it.”
“I cannot be bothered.”
“Whatever.” After saying that, he went into the restroom.
His nonchalant attitude pissed her off. She grabbed onto the gift box and wanted to smash it on the floor. However after some hesitation, she ultimately held herself back. After all, that was the very first time he gave her a present after being together for so long.
Let me take a look at what’s inside before throwing it away.
With that, she placed the present back onto the coffee table.
It feels rather heavy. Doesn’t seem like its jewellery.
What would it be then?
She made her guess while carefully opening the present.
When the present was opened up, she was dumbfounded.
Sitting inside the box was shiny custom-made scalpels that were made out of gold!
Holy sh*t! A custom made scalpel made out of gold!
Isn’t this too extravagant? It’s not practical as well. Is this knife even functional?
Despite the complaints, she still could not help but pick up one of the scalpels for a closer look.
The knife even had her name engraved onto it!
On a closer look, all of the scalpels had her name engraved onto it.
The scalpels were actually custom made and this present was actually one that I liked. Unfortunately, he must be forced by his grandfather to do so. His grandfather might have even been the one that came up with this idea.
Thus, she sulked and kept the scalpels back into the box.
If she had not overheard the phone call by her grandfather, she would have wholeheartedly accepted the present.
Qin Jinhuan knew that her Brother Yihan gave her a set of scalpels in the past to which she treated so preciously. Since he gave me an exact same set of scalpels, is he trying to tell me that he wants to replace Brother Yihan’s spot in my heart?
Unfortunately this is all a dream. If he really had such thoughts, he wouldn’t have kept Yi Anran that I hated by his side.
“How’s the present? You like it right?”
Mu Yu lifted her head up and was shocked to see Qin Jinhuan up close in front of her. She pretended like she could not be bothered and placed the knives back into the box. She said, “I already have a set of scalpels so I don’t need this. You may take it away.”
“It’s too late.” He repacked the gift box nicely and forcefully placed it next to her pillow. Then, he naturally sat down next to her.
“Go away!” She kicked out at him in extreme disgust. However, he was well prepared and actually caught onto her legs. Then, she dragged her legs over and placed it on top of his legs.
She angrily said, “What are you doing? Let go! Don’t touch me with your hands after touching other girls!”
“There is nothing between me and Anran.”
“Nothing? If it really was nothing, how did the condom appear in the lounge? Why were you at Xinlong Hotel with her yesterday afternoon?” Mu Yu did not believe what he said and since he was still trying to come up with excuses, she went straight to the point and said, “Don’t tell me that everything is a coincidence.”
“Are you jealous?”
“Your irresponsible and shameless behaviour disgusts me!” She pulled her legs back and immediately shifted to the side in order to keep a distance away from him.
“I have already changed the lock on the door and replaced everything in the lounge. As for Anran, I have transferred her over to the marketing department.”
“Oh really? It must have been hard on you, Chairman Qin.” She glanced coldly at him and she was in disdain at his pretentious actions.
Qin Jinhuan frowned as he had not expected her to remain so unhappy.
And here I thought once I took the soft approach, she would be appreciative and grateful.
It is so difficult to grasp a woman’s heart.
“Rest early.” He had nothing else to say so he got up and walked towards the bed.
She pouted her lips and placed the present that was next to her pillow onto the coffee table. Then, she lay down on her bed. However, she could not help but subconsciously glance at the gift box on the coffee table. Although she was mad and annoyed, at the end of the day she still had certain expectations of him.
She tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.
The next day, she was awakened by the ringing sounds of her alarm clock. She got out of bed early in the morning with bloodshot eyes. After breakfast, she got ready to meet up at her unit with the people from her taskforce. However, before she got out of the house, she received a call from Rong Jian informing her that everyone had left the unit so she was asked to catch a ride on Qin Jinhuan’s car over to Qing Tian Building. Despite having qualms about that, she forced herself to get into his car. However, once they arrived at the office, she shook him off and went to the canteen to look for Rong Jian and the others.
When she arrived, the canteen was in a mess. A long-haired woman held onto the arms of a young kid. The kid looked like he was three or four years old. The kid was howling in the canteen hall.
“That’s Zhao Yongli’s wife and their kid. I have to head over and console them first.” Rong Jian dragged her aside and handed her a file as he said, “Help me to deliver these things over to Huan. Let him know that I will come over to his office as soon as I am done.”
“Oh, alright.” Mu Yu did not think twice before agreeing. Then, she picked up the file and headed over to Qin Jinhuan’s office.
“Madam, you are here?”
Upon seeing Zhi Xiaoyin’s nervous look on her face, Mu Yu instantly realized that something was amiss in Qin Jinhuan’s office. She was annoyed and rushed over to the door as she wanted to catch Qin Jinhuan cheating on her right there on the spot. Just then, Qin Jinhuan’s annoyed voice could be heard. He said, “Since you are an employee of the company, you have to adhere to the arrangements of the company!”
“But I really don’t want to go to the marketing department.”
“There is no need for you to say anything else. Return back to your post.”
“Brother-in-law, don’t be like this. Brother-in-law…”
Just then, Mu Yu suddenly pushed the door open and Yi Anran’s coquettish behavior came to an end. She quickly pulled back her arm that was holding onto Qin Jinhuan’s arm. Then, she acted like she was wronged as she lowered her head and walked towards the door.
“Wait,” Mu Yu suddenly shouted when Yi Anran walked past her side.
