Upon hearing that statement, Feng Zhu was even happier and grew even more confident.

He stood up and walked up to Qin Yichen’s seat.

“President Qin, I have heard about you so many times and seeing you up close, one can see that you are indeed a king among men,”

At the same time, Qin Yichen’s phone dinged with a familiar sound. It was the special ringtone he had made for Rong Yue.

Other than her, there was no notification or call that would make his phone ring out. Qin Yichen pulled his phone out immediately and didn’t even realise that Mr Feng Zhu was standing behind him, ready to praise him.

As he saw the four words and one sentence, Qin Yichen’s heart sank.

He was good at reading Rong Yue but this time around, even though he was almost certain about what she was talking about, he couldn’t tell her mood when she was asking this question.

As his brows furrowed, his aura became gloomy and spread across the room.

Very quickly, all of them in the room realized that something was wrong and sat up quickly.

Feng Zhu was the one behind Qin Yichen and with a little craning of his neck, he was able to see his phone screen.

Although he couldn’t see the message, he saw the name of the person that had sent the message.

‘Xiao Yue’

That was clearly a girl’s endearment. Thinking about it, Feng Zhu stepped back as his eyes gleamed with schemes in them.

From his perspective, he felt that things were easy to understand.

President Qin wanted to rest from the excess work today so it was only normal that he would need the company of a beauty. After all, he was young and hot blooded.

But now, it seemed that the beauty was unable to make it and was disappointing Qin Yichen.

As he thought of this, he hid his emotions and went outside the room.

He was an opportunist and felt that this was currently a chance from heaven.

If he missed out on this opportunity, he would probably never get it again.

After confirming that no one from the room had followed him, Feng Zhu pulled his phone out and called his daughter.

Unlike him, Feng Yan had met Qin Yichen every now and then when she followed his elder brother to banquets. He also knew that his daughter also wanted to climb up the social ladder using this man.

Now that there was an opportunity, she was the first person he called.

“Yan’er, if you are still interested in being the Young Madam of the Qin Family, wear your best dress and come to The Medallion immediately!”

On the other end of the call, Feng Yan who was just racking her head about how she would get in QianXin University leaped up from her bed in shock.

“Father? What are you saying? There’s a chance for me to be with Second Young Master Qin?”

“Yes, hurry up and get here now before you miss this chance.”

Right after she heard her father’s confirmation, Feng Yan rushed out of her room and ran to her mother’s room.

“Mother! Help!”

What’s the matter?” Madame Feng frowned slightly as she felt that her daughter was acting without ethics that should belonged to the daughter of a rich family.

“You have to help me, just now, father called and asked me to wear my dress to come and see Second Young Master Qin.”

Feng Yan gave her mother a quick rundown of the conversation she had with her dad.

Very quickly the both of them rushed to her walk in closet and searched for a proper dress.

Even though she needed to be dressed attractive enough, as a daughter from a rich family, she couldn’t expose too much or dress wantonly.

So Feng Yan picked a black dress that made her skin look fairer and hugged her curves. Her body hadn’t reached the peak of seduction, after all, she was only nineteen but she still played to her strengths.

After dressing up, she went with the driver to The Medallion.

Back at The Medallion.

No matter how much Qin Yichen looked at the messages, he was really unable to figure out Rong Yue’s intentions. In the end, he decided to call her.

Without realizing it, the whole time that he had been thinking, the room had become still like a graveyard and all of them were looking Ay him with worry.

Was the Qin Corporation in trouble?

Unlike Feng Zhu, most of them already knew Qin Yichen loathed being with women. Which one of them had not tried to push their daughters to him and failed?

So now, seeing his mood, other than Feng Zhu that was new, no one else had impure thoughts.

“President Qin, The Medallion has some rooms available for use, I would get them to prepare a room for your use immediately.”

Qin Yichen glanced at him, weighing the options in his heart. Eventually, he nodded.

He could just respond to the call in there and talk with Rong Yue.

Feng Zhu beamed widely, thinking that he had gotten the situation right.

With two of the managers in The Medallion, they led Qin Yichen to their VIP room.

As soon as he left, the heavy pressure in the room was gone and the several big shots couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

“Why do I feel like Feng Zhu seems to know what was wrong with President Qin? He can’t have seen what happened right?” Someone asked after a while.

He had been seated rather close to Qin Yichen and saw when Feng Zhu was craning his neck to check things out.

He couldn’t help but suspect that Feng Zhu had seen something.

“We would eventually know, Yichen is not easy to take advantage of.”

After saying it that way, most of them were past their middle age and understood what he was saying. Perhaps, Feng Zhu was over reaching and would soon meet with trouble.

Qin Yichen gave Feng Zhu a polite nod and called Rong Yue as soon as the room was empty.

This was his first time at The Medallion, a recreation spot that had only opened up about two weeks ago. But seeing how the room was designed and decorated, he couldn’t help but nod his head.

He had seen many things all around the world and could tell at a glance who knew what they were doing.

Rong Yue picked on the second ring.

“Yue’er,”

“You already know?”

“Hmmm, I know now.”

Rong Yue’s reply was short but he could pick the blame in her tone.

“I suspected for a while, after all, I lived with her for a week when I was recovering back then. But since you deeply believed and played the role, I couldn’t help but take it as what it was.”

“Then how did you then discover?”

“Firstly, her medical skills and knowledge of herbs. They are a little too good for someone that is regressing. But there are many wonders in the world that can’t even be explained with science.”

“Also, you said that she was recovering, so I didn’t want to ask too much, after all…” he didn’t complete it but how could Rong Yue not understand.

He was telling her that even if he strongly suspected that something was off, she hadn’t even accepted him, it wasn’t right if he asked too much questions.

“But when we traveled for the competition, she called you to go with a different image…”

“My guards were up and I took a gamble by threatening her.” After that, he told her about what he had discussed with her mother.

The whole time, the other end of the call was silent but Qin Yichen knew that she was still there.

She wasn’t talking but he could hear the soft sounds of her breathing anytime he paused.

“If I told you first, it might bring our relationship closer but it would also mean that your relationship with your mom would be torn by me..”

Seeing that she still had no reply, Qin Yichen’s brows crinkled a little and he tried to think of something else to say.

However, Rong Yue beat him to it as she finally responded.

“Yichen, thank you.”

Without waiting for his reply, she ended the call.

Qin Yichen could tell that she wasn’t angry. In fact, she didn’t blame him any longer and appreciated him.

But he also didn’t like that she was in a down mood because of what was happening.

He wanted to shield her from anything that the world wanted to bring her way but he couldn’t shield her from her mother.

At the end of the day, he also knew that her mother was only protecting her too.

Her method might have had some flaws in them but at the end of the day, her only aim was to protect her daughter.

So he had to give them time to sort their matters out.

As he placed his phone in his pocket, Qin Yichen opened the bottle of wine that had been placed in his room.

After taking a swing, he placed the glass down and looked at the wine. It was a brand that he enjoyed, yet he couldn’t help but feel there was something different about the feel of the wine in his mouth today.

His expression darkened the moment he saw that there were two cups of wine on the tray. One was placed behind the bottle and he hadn’t noticed it earlier because of his chaotic thoughts.
