My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 171

Chapter 171 Making the Young Master Qin Happy
The instant Xin Yihan let go of Mu Yu, she pushed him away in panic as well and immediately turned around to see Qin Jinhuan standing at three to four meters away from them with a long face. She blushed guiltily as if she had done something wrong and smacked her lips in helplessness.

“H-Huan? Why are you here?”

“Young Master Qin. What a coincidence.” Xin Yihan looked unnatural as well. He greeted the man with a dry laugh while secretly feeling frustrated at his inappropriate action just now.

“It’s not a coincidence. I’m specifically here to fetch my wife.” Qin Jinhuan approached them with a dry smile and put his arms around Mu Yu’s shoulder as if he was declaring his territory. However, his voice was softer when he addressed her, “Are you feeling cold?”

Am I cold? I am drenched in cold sweat!

Of course, Mu Yu dared not speak out loud. She grinned and explained, “Huan, Yihan and I…” She didn’t want him to misunderstand.

“I knew that you’d come over to visit the graves of Yan Xiaobing and Mrs. Yan,” Smiling, he cut her off as he reached out to comb her unruly bangs with his fingers. Compared to his sullen expression before, he looked calmer now and his gaze toward Xin Yihan was more polite.

“I heard from Rong Jian that you went out of your way to send Yu here. Thank you.”

“Uh, I didn’t go out of my way to do it. I happened to bump into her and sent her here on my way,” Xin Yihan had realized that his behavior was out of line and he smiled while explaining himself. He cast his glance at the tombstones of Yan Xiaobing and Mrs. Yan in an attempt to cover up the glimmer of guilt in his eyes.

“I’ll have to thank you for that too. If you’re free, come in for some tea at Qing Tian Group.”

The sudden invitation made Xin Yihan’s eyes turn cold. He understood what Qin Jinhuan meant by having tea together but the suggestion gave him anxiety.

His Yong Yi Industry had been growing quite well over the past two years. However, as he was not a local, he met some limitations in terms of his business connections. If he could receive some support from the Qing Tian Group, no matter how little the support was, his company would be elevated to another level of growth.

Some time ago, he had attempted a few times to meet with Qin Jinhuan to discuss a collaboration but he was ignored. Left without choice, he could only go for the next best option and worked with Yi Yunzhe’s Yuchi Group instead. After that, the Yuchi Group was destroyed by Qin Xiaozhi and Qin Jinhuan, and Yong Yi Industry had been hurt in the collateral damage. He could only accept the truth bitterly and never dared to ask for a collaboration with Qing Tian Group.

If the invitation had come before today, Xin Yihan would have been elated to receive an invitation for a tea break by Qin Jinhuan. But now, he could not tell if Qin Jinhuan would be angry at him for the intimate moment with Mu Yu just now. If Qin Jinhuan was secretly enraged, the invitation would be a Trojan horse.

After hesitating for a short while, Xin Yihan gracefully rejected the invitation, “Thank you for your kindness. It’s just a small favor that’s not worthy of mention. There’s no need to have tea together.”

Qin Jinhuan smiled gently. “Qing Tian has some great tea leaves in store. It’s rare that I’d enthusiastically invite anyone over. President Xin, if you miss the chance to taste our tea, wouldn’t it be a shame?”

“Well…”

“It’s confirmed then. When you have time, just give me a call. I’ll be waiting at Qing Tian Group.”

Now that Qin Jinhuan had sealed the deal, Xin Yihan felt that it’d be rude to turn him down. Therefore, he put his palms together to express his thanks. “If so, I’d choose to follow your wish instead of turning you down out of courtesy. Thank you in advance.”

Qin Jinhuan nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Mu Yu. He addressed her with the same gentle tone, “It’s windy here. Let’s go home.”

“Okay.” Mu Yu blankly nodded at him.

She had overheard the entire conversation between Qin Jinhuan and Xin Yihan. She also observed their facial expressions in great worry.

She knew very well that Qin Jinhuan always acted on the principle of an eye for an eye. If he misunderstood her relationship with Xin Yihan or thought that Xin Yihan felt something for her, he would definitely give Xin Yihan a hard time. With Qin Jinhuan’s capability, it was not difficult to crush Xin Yihan and Yong Yi Industry. She was worried that her inappropriate behavior with Xin Yihan just now would cost Xin Yihan his company through a revenge from Qin Jinhuan. That was the outcome that she wished to avoid.

Since Qin Jinhuan interrupted her explanation and behaved politely toward Xin Yihan, it was obvious that he didn’t want to express his displeasure in front of the other man. If so, she would explain to him later when they reached home. She understood that he cared about saving face more than anything else.

“Yihan, we’re leaving now.” She acted graciously and waved at Xin Yihan. Since they were all acting in front of each other, she wanted to be more professional. It was easy to clear things up if Qin Jinhuan misunderstood her feelings for Xin Yihan. However, she vowed not to make Xin Yihan mistook her for a lowly woman in front of Qin Jinhuan.

Qin Jinhuan was cooperative and his expression did not change even after she addressed Xin Yihan affectionately. He flashed another vague smile at Xin Yihan before leading her down the hill.

Everything was in Mu Yu’s anticipation. During their walk from Tai Cemetery to the parking lot, Qin Jinhuan’s arms remained around her shoulders. His hand held hers and he occasionally whispered some sweet-nothings into her ear. She knew too well that he was acting in front of Xin Yihan. Therefore, she responded accordingly to him with smiles, trying her best to put up a show of a loving couple until they entered the car.

When they were both in the car, Qin Jinhuan did not sit close to her like before and he did not even look at her. Instead, he casually leaned into the seat with his arms crossed in front of him. His eyes were tightly shut as if he wanted to take a nap.

Knowing that he was frustrated, she meekly inched toward him. When she noticed that he did not push her away, she tried to lean her head onto his shoulder. He remained still in his seat. Then, she attempted to pull his arm over to cling onto it and once again placed her head on his shoulder.

Qin Jinhuan still did not move. He did not make a sound, not even words of reprimand. The calmer he was, the more anxious she became. She could not help but feel that a storm was brewing.

After giving it some thought, she could not suppress her panic and started to talk, “Huan, to be honest, Yihan and I…”

“Let’s talk about it at home.” His eyes remained closed and his body did not move. He merely cut her off coldly.

Mu Yu glanced at Huang Bo who was driving at the front. “Okay,” she gently replied, shut up and let go of him to stare at the scenery outside. She looked worried and upset.

‘Huan has some misunderstanding toward my relationship with Yihan. I’m worried that he won’t listen to my explanation later at home. What should I do?’ Feeling clueless, she ended up sending a SOS text to her good friend Jiang Wenwen.

‘Huh? What misunderstanding? Did you and Yihan cross any line? Don’t tell me that both of you were in the same room and got caught red-handed!’ Jiang Wenwen replied in no time and added a shocked emoji in her text.

‘It was not that serious. It’s just that when I was talking to Yihan, I recalled some past memories and felt touched. So, I got closer to Yihan but we didn’t behave very intimately.’

‘How close?’ Jiang Wenwen had the knack of finding the keyword in any sentence. Mu Yu replied with a sweating emoji. ‘Yihan gave me a hug. Back then, when I was unhappy, he always hugged me in that way.’

Jiang Wenwen instantly snapped back with a shocked emoji and texted her a huge block of words, ‘In the past, you were not the young mistress of the Qin Family and he was a bachelor. You saw each other as siblings. Even if you wanted to do something more than hugging, such as kissing or sleeping with each other, that was your own freedom.’

‘But things are different now! Both of you have different identities; you’re the wife of Young Master Qin and he’s the husband of Yin Xiaotian. How could you hug each other without a care? Not only would Young Master Qin be angry. I’d also suspect that you have an affair with Xin Yihan!’

‘We only hugged each other. There’s no affair. What are you thinking?’

‘Mu Yu! Haven’t you realized the severity of this issue? To Young Master Qin, you hugging another man is no different from you sleeping with another man! Both are acts of infidelity!’

‘I didn’t!’

‘What is the use of you denying it? He has to think through and believe in it.’

‘Alright. Let’s not talk about that. Help me to think of a solution.’ In the beginning, Mu Yu had wanted to seek help from her good friend, but she did not expect Jiang Wenwen to lecture her. Their conversation made her anxious, and her heart became a mess.

Her phone screen was silent for about ten seconds before Jiang Wenwen started typing. Mu Yu stared straight at the text box and worriedly waited for her good friend’s suggestion.

‘I do have a lot of suggestions that might not work, but I think there’s no point discussing that. Why don’t you use the most potent drug to clear his doubts once and for all?’

Mu Yu hurriedly replied, ‘What do you mean by potent drug?’

‘I remember you told me before that you only had intimacy once with Young Master Qin?’

Not anticipating this question from jiang Wenwen, Mu Yu sent her an embarrassed emoji.

‘Tell me, was that true? It’s the key to our potent drug!’

Gritting her teeth, she admitted to it. At that moment, she could guess what Jiang Wenwen was referring to as the potent drug. Jiang Wenwen texted back a happy emoji. ‘Great! Tonight, you should get bathed and unclothe in the bed to explain to Young Master Qin. I guarantee you that he’d be so overjoyed until he forgets about today’s misunderstanding and gives up on persecuting Yihan.’

Mu Yu took a sharp breath upon reading the text. Jiang Wenwen was indeed her bestie as she could accurately describe Mu Yu’s worries. But wasn’t Jiang Wenwen’s suggestion too provocative?

Sweating, she texted, ‘Do you have another way?’

‘This is the best solution!’ Jiang Wenwen chuckled evilly on the other side. ‘Are you unsure of what to do? I could tell by one look that you have no experience at all.’

The string of evil laugh emojis sent by Jiang Wenwen made Mu Yu reply with ellipsis to indicate that she was speechless.

‘Wait. I’ll share some good clips with you. When you’re home, you can do some research on it. Huh, too bad I forgot to save the classic clips when I changed my laptop. If not, I could share everything with you as an encyclopedia.’

Mu Yu immediately blushed and rebuked, ‘Hey! That’s not the behavior of a proper young lady!’

A few minutes later, Jiang Wenwen copied some text and replied to Mu Yu. She added her comments, ‘Even a proper young lady is a human too. It’s normal to have desires. Alright, it’s time for my class. You look into it yourself. If there’s anything that you’re unsure of, just leave a comment for your Master. Your Master Jiang Wenwen will counsel you after her university class.’

Master? Mu Yu pouted at the phone screen but burst into laughter the next second. Just like how Jiang Wenwen knew her well, she was also very aware of Jiang Wenwen’s capability.

However, she was in no mood to investigate why Jiang Wenwen was so into adult stuff. Her priority was to clear up her misunderstanding with Qin Jinhuan, who was now seated beside her and was silently angry at her.

After giving it some thought, she decided to explain to Qin Jinhuan as the first course of action. If he refused to listen to her, she would go with Jiang Wenwen’s suggestion. Of course, she wished that she would not have to resort to Jiang Wenwen’s solution because it was completely unacceptable.

Mu Yu sighed and decided to be prepared at both fronts in order to switch her strategy when the situation called for it.

She clicked on the text that was sent to her by Jiang Wenwen. After two lines in, her face turned as red as a beetroot. Right then, Qin Jinhuan moved a little in his seat, causing her to panic and reflexively pressed on her screen to turn it off. At the same time, she shyly stole a glance at him. When she noticed that he was not paying attention to her, she turned slightly to the side and continued reading Jiang Wenwen’s text.

Oh my god! Mu Yu was astonished. I-Isn’t that too much? Wenwen! How could she have…

“Ouch!” Her hand bumped into something. She lost her grip and her phone fell onto the carpet. Before she could respond, a hand from beside had picked up her phone with a brightly lit screen.
