He just said that he had transferred his salary for this month onto her card? This information had come too suddenly for her to absorb fully .
"Waiter, bill please," Qin Chu said .
"Yes sir, your total comes up to 1080 yuan . "
"She'll pay," Qin Chu said lazily, pointing at Huo Mian .
Huo Mian pulled out the only ICBC debit card from her purse . If she remembered correctly, there was less than 800 yuan left on that card . She didn't know how much Qin Chu had transferred her . He wasn't toying with her, was he?
After swiping the card, the waiter carefully returned it to her . Then, the two of them walked out of the restaurant together .
Huo Mian was still mulling over a question that she was too embarrassed to ask out loud .
"You want to ask me how much my monthly salary is, don't you?" seeing her hesitation, Qin Chu asked the question for her .
Huo Mian immediately nodded .
The adorable gesture she made had Qin Chu lifting the corners of his lips ever so slightly .
"Why don't you check on your banking app later?"
"…"
What kind of stinking response was that? Was he messing around with her?
Just then, Qin Chu's cell phone rang .
"Alright, I got it . But I have important business to attend to right now . Tell them to delay the meeting another thirty minutes . "
When he finished, Qin Chu hung up the phone .
"Since you have important business, let's part here . I can take the bus home . "
Qin Chu glanced at Huo Mian, his eyes cold . "The important business I was talking about is taking you home," he said .
Qin Chu's expression was clearly saying that she was an idiot .
Sometimes, he really wondered if Huo Mian, once touted as a genius with an IQ of 130, was actually one of those weirdos with a high IQ but low EQ .
Having heard what Qin Chu said, Huo Mian's expression clearly lagged for an instant .
Then, a warm feeling welled up in her chest .
"Let's go, get in the car . "
Twenty minutes later, Qin Chu dropped Huo Mian off at her apartment building .
"Alright, I'm home . Thank you for the ride . "
She was still not used to Qin Chu treating her so well . After all, they had already been apart for more than seven years .
She needed some time before she could get accustomed to this suddenly intimate relationship .
"When I get off work, I'll come to get you . "
"You don't need to . "
"Terminate the lease for this apartment . You're moving in with me . " Qin Chu's tone was commanding .
"No," Huo Mian instantly rejected him .
Qin Chu stared at her with a complicated expression on his face,"We're husband and wife . We're not separating right after marriage, are we? Unless you think that, after all that I've helped you with, you can just leave me out to dry for half a year, and then bring up divorce . Are you going back on your word, now that you no longer need me?"
"That's not what I meant," Huo Mian objected .
"Then it's settled . I'll come and get you tonight . You don't need to bring anything; I have everything ready at my place . " Without waiting for Huo Mian's reply, Qin Chu turned around and left .
Staring at his tall, broad back as he walked away, Huo Mian let out a light sigh .
It's been seven years . His bossiness and stuck-up attitude hadn't changed a bit . If anything, it had gotten worse .
However, moving in with him . . . was that really okay? Wasn't he living with his parents?
She had already met the Qin couple many years ago . They borderline hated her .
She didn't like them, either . After Uncle Jing's death, she had began viewing Qin Chu's parents as Uncle Jing's murderers .
Huo Mian couldn't imagine what it would be like to live under the same roof as the people she held a grudge against .
Qin Chu arrived at his office five minutes before the meeting was set to begin .
He walked straight into the conference room . Picking up the documents his assistant had handed him, he flipped through the pages, then listened to the executives from each of the departments make their reports .
An hour later, the meeting ended . Qin Chu didn't say a word, from beginning to end .
"Mr . Qin, the meeting is pretty much wrapped up . Is there anything you'd like to add?" Yang asked cautiously .
Qin Chu slowly closed the file he was holding, and then scanned the room .
One after the other, the executives lowered their heads, not daring to meet their boss's gaze for fear of making a mistake .
"Inform the Finance Department to double all corporate employees' pay for this month . "
"Mr . Qin, this…" The good news came so suddenly that Yang was at a loss for words .
The other executives all wore dumbfounded expressions as well . Was today a special day of some sort?
