My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 32
Chapter 32 To Be A Cuckold?
“Yu, are you all right?” Although Xin Yihan got up in time, he was still slower than Yunzhe.
“Yihan, I’m fine.” Mu Yu hurriedly pushed Yi Yunzhe away. After taking a step away from him, she thanked him in a low tone.
“Did you hurt your feet?” Qin Jinhuan stepped forward and pulled her over. He lowered his head to check on her and silently separated her from Yunzhe.
“N-No.” Mu Yu guiltily drew her hand away from being held by him.
She was never used to being intimate with him, especially now that Xin Yihan was present at the scene.
“That’s good. Your clumsiness always makes me worry about you.” Qin Jinhuan looked relieved and hung his arm naturally on her shoulder. After that, he raised his head as he smiled at Yunzhe and nodded. “My wife is always like this. I’m sorry that Mr. Yi has to see her make a joke out of herself.”
“Your wife?” Xin Yihan, who had been surprised by Qin Jinhuan’s appearance, was even more surprised.
Mu Yu didn’t expect him to speak so directly and panicked. She instinctively stomped her feet anxiously.
She realized that the gentleness and thoughtfulness that he had pretended to show just now was to pave the way to call her ‘his wife’.
“Silly girl, what is there to be shy about? Happy things should be shared with everyone.” Qin Jinhuan pampered her by patting her hair.
“You guys…”
“We are already together and have registered our marriage.”
“Really?” Xin Yihan looked at Mu Yu incredulously.
Mu Yu knew that she couldn’t avoid this question. She didn’t look at him in the eyes, but she forced herself to nod.
“When did this happen?”
“Are you asking when we registered our marriage or when we got together?”
“Hey!”
Mu Yu desperately dragged Qin Jinhuan, who had interjected, away. She was anxious and annoyed at the same time.
However, Qin Jinhuan ignored her. Before Xin Yihan could ask again, his faint and light voice continued saying, “It’s been a few days.”
Xin Yihan tried to take it all in and asked softly, “How come you didn’t tell me when something so big had happened?”
“She was very shy and didn’t want to say it out loud. That’s why she wanted me to accompany her to this meetup with you. However, the traffic was a bit heavy when I came here from the company. I am a few minutes late, and I hope that you don’t mind.”
Seeing Mu Yu hadn’t disagreed with anything Qin Jinhuan said, Xin Yihan finally believed in it. After that, he responded and welcomed Qin Jinhuan to take his seat, “I can never be more grateful that Mr. Qin has come. Hurry up and take a seat.”
Then, he rushed out through the door and shouted, “Waiter, please add another set of tableware.”
“There’s no need for the hassle. There’s something going on at home today. Yu and I have to go back at once.” Qin Jinhuan waved his hand to stop Xin Yihan. “We will treat you another time.”
After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly at Yunzhe, who had been silent the entire time, and said softly to Mu Yu, “Let’s go.”
Mu Yu felt his silent warning and nodded her head obediently. Worried that Xin Yihan might see through her, she didn’t dare to look into his eyes. After saying a soft ‘Yihan, I’m leaving’, she followed Qin Jinhuan’s steps and walked out of the private room.
After getting into the car and seeing it start to move, she instinctively turned around and leaned against the car window to see the hotel slowly getting farther from her. It was just like she was getting further from Yihan, and tears started to fall uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Qin Jinhuan had already lost all his gentleness and patience that he had pretended to show before. He didn’t hold her hand but folded his arms on his chest. Looking at her from the corner of his eyes, he sneered and said, “Does being my wife upsets you that much?”
Mu Yu wiped away her tears as she turned around to sit down properly.
She was not in the mood to explain anything to Qin Jinhuan. Her head was filled with Xin Yihan’s shocked expression. Although he treated Qin Jinhuan warmly after that, she didn’t think that it was out of his sincerity. At most, it was only to ease the awkward atmosphere at the time.
I don’t even know how he would think of me after knowing that Qin Jinhuan and I are now together.
Maybe…
“Do you hear me?”
Qin Jinhuan’s voice suddenly rang as Mu Yu turned her head blankly. “What?”
“If Grandpa asked you about the dinner, tell him we had agreed on going together, but I couldn’t leave the company due to sudden matters, so you had reached there first.”
“Oh? I didn’t tell him about going out for dinner.”
Qin Jinhuan’s eyes were somewhat filled with disgust. “Do you think he wouldn’t know anything even though you didn’t tell him? Be smarter in the future, so you won’t cause me any more trouble.”
Mu Yu, who was already unhappy, was triggered by his words. She satirized rudely, “I’m stupid by nature. If you’re worried about me causing you trouble, go and find another wife then.”
“What? You still haven’t let go of that Xin punk? Do you believe that I will squish him flat just with one step?”
“Don’t you dare!” Mu Yu was shocked. “Yihan didn’t even provoke you!”
She felt that he was capable of doing anything. That was why she didn’t dare to joke with him, especially when it had something to do with Yihan.
He smiled disdainfully. “He’s not worth my time even if he wants to provoke me.”
He was talking about how Xin Yihan tried to work with him by using his relationship with Yin Xiaotian a year ago. At that time, he had absolutely no interest in the project planning provided by Xin Yihan and refused it without a second thought.
Mu Yu didn’t know what he was referring to and nervously defended Xin Yihan, “I’ve told you before. It was only me who had feelings for Yihan. He had absolutely no idea about it and truly treated me as his sister. I’ve already let him go now.”
“I’ve no interest in your trivial matters. I only want you to remember you are currently my wife. You must think like how I think. You must worry about what I worry about. You must avoid what I avoid. Otherwise…”
Qin Jinhuan didn’t continue speaking, but Mu Yu could already feel his threat. She lowered her eyes and responded, “I understand. I’ll try my best.”
“I hope you do.”
Qin Jinhuan didn’t look at her again. Instead, he closed his eyes and rested.
Mu Yu didn’t make another sound too and looked quietly out the window.
After Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu left the box, Xin Yihan saw Yunzhe staring at the closed door of the box with a sour face. Embarrassed, he rubbed his hands together and apologized, “I didn’t expect them to get together so fast. Yu didn’t even tell me anything.”
Yunzhe shifted his gaze and took a piece of cold Osmanthus Rice Cake from the plate. Then, he glanced at him and said, “Did you enjoy looking at me making a joke out of myself tonight?”
“Mr. Yi, you’ve misunderstood. You… Sigh…”
Bang!
The plate flew across Xin Yihan’s face, but he managed to avoid it just in the time. It smashed into the wall and was instantly broken into pieces. Yi Yunzhe then smashed the entire table of delicious food.
“No wonder you tried to stop me from dating Mu Yu countless times before, you wanted to let that man with the surname Qin get his hands on her first! Xin Yihan, you’ve played this game of going right behind me and stabbing me in the back well!”
“Mr. Yi, you’ve really misunderstood me. I had also just learned about everything just now,” Xin Yihan looked at the mess on the floor and explained. “Before this, it’s not that I won’t let you date Yu. It’s really because she had told me many times she wanted to concentrate on her studies when she was in university. She had said that she would talk about having a boyfriend after she got herself a job. I really kept a close eye on her for you…”
“If you really kept a close eye on her, why had she registered her marriage with Qin Jinhuan and moved in with him so quickly? Xin Yihan, do you think you’re too smart or do you think I’m stupid?” Yi Yunzhe’s eyes were filled with poison as he glared at Xin Yihan. “No wonder you won’t let Yin Xiaotian quit her job from Qing Tian Group. It looks like you had everything well planned! Bah! Do you really think you can have good fruits by relying on such a big tree like Qin Jinhuan? You have really looked down on my abilities!”
“I have persuaded Xiaotian before to resign from Qing Tian Group. I wanted her to become a full-time housewife, but she didn’t want to be someone who did nothing all the time. I also wanted her to come and help me in my company, but she didn’t want that too. She said she didn’t want to be tied to a life living under my shadow. She then said that the two of us working in different environments would help keep the spark alive. Also, she has gotten used to working in Qing Tian Group and doesn’t want to change to a new working environment. I think what she had said made sense, so I didn’t force her to quit her job.”
“Nonsense! She said she wanted to stay in Qing Tian Group, and you let her stay in Qing Tian Group? If she wants to commit adultery, are you going to let her commit adultery too?”
Xin Yihan’s complexion instantly changed as he didn’t expect Yi Yunzhe to say such things. He said in a serious tone, “Mr. Yi, please be respectful when you speak. Xiaotian is my wife.”
“So what if she’s your wife? She doesn’t even want to leave Qing Tian Group. Who knows if it was to get Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu together? Whoever makes me unhappy, I will never let her have a good life too!”
“Xiaotian is only an ordinary employee in Qing Tian Group. She usually doesn’t even have the chance to get in touch with Qin Jinhuan. How could there be a talk about matchmaking?” Seeing Yi Yunzhe glance at him, Xin Yihan smiled bitterly. “If I knew anything about this, I wouldn’t have helped you ask Yu to meet up here with me tonight. I am not an ungrateful person. I know how much Yuchi Industry has helped me. I have always kept it in my heart.”
“I hope you do remember.”
When he saw Yi Yunzhe gritting his teeth, Xin Yihan secretly had a bad feeling about it. He paused and persuaded in a low tone, “Mr. Yi, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Since Yu and Mr. Qin are already together, it means you are not destined for her. Why don’t you…”
“Do you think you’re a prophet?”
“I…”
“Once I have set my sights on something and I can’t get it, I wouldn’t even leave it for others, especially those whom I hate.”
“Mr. Yi, please don’t hurt Yu. Everything is all my fault. If you want to vent your anger, come at me.” Realizing that he couldn’t stop Yi Yunzhe, Xin Yihan quickly said, “I feel that Yu has her own difficulties when I looked at her today. Maybe Qin Jinhuan had forced Yu to be with him.”
“Forced her? Then he and I have scores to settle! Hmph!” Yi Yunzhe stormed off.
“Mr. Yi…” Xin Yihan took a few steps and followed him. Then, he stopped and stared at the determined back of Yi Yunzhe with a strange look on his face.
“Stand there! The Qin family will not welcome this woman!”
Meanwhile, Mu Yu and Qin Jinhuan had just gotten out of the car when they heard Qin Xiaozhi’s thunderous roar. As soon as she looked up, she saw Qin Xiaozhi standing angrily at the gate with his walking stick. She didn’t understand what was happening again while she turned to look at Qin Jinhuan questioningly.
Qin Jinhuan was very calm while he held her hands tightly and walked to the door. Then, he said faintly, “This is my home. Yu is my wife. You have no right to stop her from entering that door.”
“This disloyal and loose woman has no right to walk through that door!”
“That’s right,” Dong Wanqing, who was standing at the side, added with a low tone. The gloating look on her face was indescribable.
Mu Yu was instantly angry. As she tried to suppress her anger, she argued, If you have no evidence, please don’t throw mud at me. Be careful. I can sue you all for your accusations.”
Of course, her words were mainly to warn Dong Wanqing who was always stirring up trouble.
“Don’t bother them.” Qin Jinhuan held her on her shoulders and was prepared to bring her into the house forcibly.
“You’re not afraid to be a cuckold. I can’t afford to lose this old face of mine!” Qin Xiaozhi angrily smashed a stack of things on them.
