Home Girl Urban romance TOP-NOTCH MASTER MASQUERADING AS CANNON FODDER FEMALE COMPANION

Chapter 555  : Edge of Her Eyes Glowed Like Blossoms

It was better than not knowing what to answer and not having a job at the moment.

Qu was the assistant she had pretended to hire.

If there were any messages she needed to relay, she would leave them to Qu.

Over time, Qu eventually became her confidant.

“He’s not here yet. I just came to tell you that Tan Mo is here,” Qu whispered into Qin Murong’s ear. “I’m guessing Wei Zhiqian should be here soon.”

How could Wei Zhiqian bear to leave Tan Mo here all by herself?

“Then, go keep an eye out. As soon as he comes, tell me immediately,” Qin Murong said.

Qu nodded. “Okay.”

Everyone who worked in the Qin family would try to persuade Qin Murong before informing the rest of the Qins to be wary that Qin Murong might not have given up on Wei Zhiqian.

But not Qu. She was just Qin Murong’s personal assistant.

Anyway, Qin Murong paid her salary, so she didn’t care about the consequences Qin Murong would face if the Qins knew what she was up to.

She would just follow Qin Murong’s orders.

Qu was thinking that once Qin Murong went to Nacheng...

She would not be able to manage the café there.

That would leave Qu as the only person around who could represent Qin Murong.

When the time came, she would be fully in charge and be making all the final decisions.

Without anyone restricting her, she would have even more freedom.

There was no other job out there more comfortable than that.

If she were to take care of everything perfectly according to Qin Murong’s instructions before her departure, that would certainly make Qin Murong happy. Then, whatever requests she wanted to make in the future would go a lot more smoothly, right?

Thus, Qu obediently went to be on the lookout.

As Tan Mo was chatting with Qin Muye, Wei Zhiqian finally arrived.

As soon as he came in, he started searching for Tan Mo.

Since Tan Mo had sent him a text when she had arrived earlier...

The first thing Wei Zhiqian did after arriving was look for her.

After sweeping his gaze around the crowd, he saw Tan Mo and immediately strode toward her.

Qin Muye was facing the direction in which Wei Zhiqian was marching, so he saw him first.

Just as she was about to tell Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian had already strode over and immediately wrapped his arms around Tan Mo’s waist.

Tan Mo was taken by surprise. When she turned her head and saw that it was Wei Zhiqian, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Uncle!” Tan Mo was overjoyed. With Wei Zhiqian here, she felt at ease.

Just then, Qu saw Wei Zhiqian coming through the entrance of the banquet hall, so she quickly sent a text informing Qin Murong.

“Boss, Wei Zhiqian is here, and he’s with Tan Mo.” As soon as the text was sent, she saw Wei Zhiqian taking Tan Mo’s hand, leading her out of the banquet hall.

“Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo are exiting the banquet hall. I’m not sure where they’re headed. I’ll try my best to be inconspicuous and report back with their location when I can,” Qu whispered a voice message and trailed behind Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo.

In the guest room, Qin Murong got up immediately.

“Miss Qin, your hair is not done yet,” the makeup artist said.

“We’ll get back to that later.” Qin Murong was anxious to question Wei Zhiqian. She wanted to know if he was truly so cruel as to watch her leave for Nacheng.

Even if he did not have feelings for her, they had known each other since childhood. Did he have to be so heartless toward her?

Did their past mean nothing to him? Would he seriously not miss her at all?

Qin Murong walked out the hall while following the real-time location tracking sent by Qu.

Qin Murong hurried to the location and joined Qu.

“Boss, they went into the back garden, but I didn’t dare to follow them too closely,” Qu said.

Qin Murong nodded anxiously and said, “Just wait here. Don’t go over. Help me stand guard, and don’t let anyone approach us.”

Qin Murong had anticipated that Wei Zhiqian would treat her coldly.

So, she didn’t want anyone else to see her getting embarrassed.

“Okay,” Qu replied.

Thus, Qu waited behind while Qin Murong went into the back garden alone.

Shengyue Hotel’s back garden was a maze formed of bushes the height of a human. A Chinese pavilion was at the end of the maze.

The rest of the garden was landscaped with flowers and streams.

As soon as Qin Murong entered the garden, Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian were nowhere in sight.

The back garden was small enough that its entire landscape could be seen at just one glance.

There was no sight of them in the pavilion either.

They couldn’t possibly have gone into the maze, right?

Could they have left already?

According to what Qu had said, she saw Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo going in with her own eyes.

Moreover, there was only one door leading to the back garden. If they were to leave, they would definitely have to pass by the entrance where Qu was guarding.

Thus, Qu would surely see them leaving.

Qin Murong sent a WeChat message to Xiao Qu. “Did you see Wei Zhiqian leaving?”

Qu replied, “No, I’ve been guarding at the door since they went in, and I didn’t see them come out.”

Qin Murong’s gaze turned toward the maze.

Could they really be inside?

Qin Murong searched the perimeter again but did not see the two of them.

Then, she finally entered the maze.

“What were these two doing sneaking into the maze for?” Qin Murong muttered.

The maze looked tall and overwhelming, but, in fact, it was not that big.

Otherwise, it would have been troublesome if the guests got lost inside.

Qin Murong walked through the maze. As she was set on searching for Wei Zhiqian, she did not feel tired.

She walked through every intersection.

Finally, she saw Wei Zhiqian’s silhouette at one intersection.

Qin Murong exclaimed excitedly, “Zhiqian! I’ve been looking for...”

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly stopped.

She saw Wei Zhiqian holding Tan Mo and kissing the corner of Tan Mo’s eyes.

“You!” Qin Murong screamed furiously, pointing to Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo.

Wei Zhiqian scrunched up his brows and turned to see that Qin Murong had followed them.

Right then, Qin Murong saw the pinkish glow at the edge of Tan Mo’s eyes, blooming beautifully like cherry blossoms.

“What are you two doing?” Qin Murong was angry and surprised.

“What does it matter to you?” Wei Zhiqian’s face darkened with disgust.

“How could you two be like this?” Qin Murong growled angrily. “You’re always calling him an uncle, yet you’re doing something so shameless!”

“When Tan Mo was taking care of you in the hospital, I thought that there was something fishy about you two, but you called me dirty-minded.” Because of that, she was shunned by her own family.

In reality, she had been right all along.

“Hey, everybody!” Qin Murong suddenly started shouting aloud, “Come, look!”

“Let everyone see what a shameless couple you two are!” Qin Murong screeched piercingly. “I’m gonna tell both of your families!”

“Calling him your uncle from the age of six until you were 18, making people believe that you two were actually related! I can’t believe you’ve been hooking up all along!” Qin Muye was raging with fury. “Yuck! You two make me sick!”

Qin Murong felt cheated.

For so many years, she had always held her hopes in Wei Zhiqian.

Yet, Wei Zhiqian and Tan had toyed with her like she was a clown.

“Don’t tell me you’ve been in love with Tan Mo since she was six!” Qin Murong’s face was filled with spite. “Disgusting pervert!”

Wei Zhiqian chuckled coldly and suddenly stepped forward.

Qin Murong took a step back nervously.

Raising his hand, Wei Zhiqian swiftly chopped down on the back of Qin Murong’s neck.

Qin Murong rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.
