Chapter 028: Qin Yu Feels Very Hurt
In An Mushui’s gaze full of surprise, a luxury car, flanked by several business vehicles, slowly pulled into the restaurant’s parking lot. Qin Yu’s face darkened—just looking at it made his heart ache even more.
Clack—the car door opened, and a man with strikingly handsome features stepped out, surrounded by over ten black-suited bodyguards. Never mind his god-tier looks, even just the cold and commanding aura he exuded was enough to make any woman’s heart race.
Qin Yu rubbed his still-aching throat, feeling only one thing—this world was so damn unfair.
Su Mingxuan walked toward An Mushui. From the moment he appeared, her eyes had been fixed on him, filled with gentle affection and a joy she could barely contain. Strangely, her hands were behind her back, clutching something unknown.
“President An, I’m here,” Su Mingxuan smiled at her as he approached.
An Mushui looked at him tenderly and suddenly revealed what was in her hands—a crystal-crafted tulip. “Su Mingxuan, long time no see,” she said softly.
Su Mingxuan was slightly confused. It hadn’t been that long. And more importantly, she just called him by name?
Though puzzled, he still reached out to accept the flower. “It’s beautiful,” he said, glancing at her and the flower.
“Mm… I had it custom made,” An Mushui replied gently.
Beautiful—was he referring to the flower, or to her?
Ahem ahem ahem—Qin Yu began coughing uncontrollably. Watching the atmosphere between the two get weirder by the second, he couldn’t take it anymore.
He didn’t get it. Wasn’t An Mushui his fiancée? Why was she acting more affectionate to a complete outsider?
If he didn’t do something soon, he was sure she’d fall headfirst into Su Mingxuan’s “gentle trap.”
The sweet moment was broken. An Mushui immediately glared at Qin Yu. If Su Mingxuan weren’t here, she might’ve exploded already.
“Eh? Brother Qin?” Su Mingxuan finally seemed to notice him and smiled. “Didn’t expect to see you here.”
“I came to play… got a problem with that?” Qin Yu rolled his eyes and snapped back.
This guy again with the fake politeness! Can’t he go one day without acting like he’s so above it all?
Qin Yu glanced at the bodyguards surrounding them. If they weren’t here, he’d love nothing more than to punch Su Mingxuan’s face in—see how he’d keep living off that pretty-boy charm then.
Su Mingxuan shook his head, still smiling. “Of course not. But what’s up with your voice? A few days apart and your tone’s totally changed.”
That struck a nerve.
“Su Mingxuan, don’t push it!” Qin Yu growled, his voice filled with frustration.
“You’re the one pushing it, Qin Yu!” An Mushui snapped before Su Mingxuan could respond.
This guy always had to make a scene whenever Su Mingxuan was around. What was his problem? It wasn’t like Su Mingxuan ever fought back—he was clearly the bigger man here.
But she wasn’t about to stay quiet anymore. She had waited so long for this moment—she wouldn’t let Qin Yu ruin it.
Seeing her furious expression, Qin Yu felt like his heart cracked in two. Even swallowing needles hadn’t hurt this bad.
“Shuishui, let me explain! It’s not what you think… Su Mingxuan, stop being so underhanded!” Qin Yu turned to An Mushui, but when he saw the smirk on Su Mingxuan’s face, he nearly exploded.
“What is there to explain?” An Mushui shot back coldly. Then she grabbed Su Mingxuan’s arm. “Let’s go inside. Don’t mind that guy—he’s just a lunatic.”
Qin Yu was speechless.
“See you next time, Brother Qin,” Su Mingxuan nodded at him before turning to follow An Mushui.
As he watched them walk away, Qin Yu clenched his fists. He wanted to lash out, but one look at the bodyguards’ hands in their coat pockets made him back down.
He couldn’t outrun a bullet.
Ding! Because of the host’s appearance, An Mushui now feels extreme disgust toward Qin Yu. Qin Yu is likely to lose his main heroine. 50,000 Luck Points have been plundered from Qin Yu. Host is awarded 50,000 experience points and x3 Hypnosis Talismans.
Hypnosis Talisman: For 30 minutes, causes a person to fully believe whatever you say.
Hearing the system’s message, Su Mingxuan’s smile deepened. Hypnosis talismans, huh… sounds kind of sketchy. But used properly, the effects could be very interesting.
Too bad the duration was a bit short.
Following An Mushui, Su Mingxuan entered her private dining room.
“This way, Young Master Su…” she gestured toward the table.
Su Mingxuan nodded and sat down, casually glancing around the room. It wasn’t decorated extravagantly, but it was refined and elegant. Fresh two-tone tulips were placed throughout, filling the air with a light floral scent that brought a soothing comfort to the heart.
“You really like tulips, huh?” Su Mingxuan asked as he held up the crystal flower she’d given him.
“Mm.” An Mushui nodded, replying softly, “The two-toned tulip carries a beautiful meaning.”
Maybe it was because they were alone, or maybe it was the lighting, but Su Mingxuan couldn’t help feeling that her cheeks seemed to carry a faint blush, making her already beautiful features glow even more.
He looked at her a few more times, then asked, “What kind of meaning?”
“I’m not telling you,” she said with a wink, a playful smile dancing on her lips.
Su Mingxuan didn’t press.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t say it—she just didn’t want to get her hopes up. After all, in the moment when she had felt the most hopeless, most scared, and most lost, it had been his hand that pulled her back into the light.

From that day forward, she had made up her mind—this life, no matter what, she would find her way back to that light. She would find him.
