"Shocking news?"
Grace's eyes caught on the phrase, and she turned to look at Qin Yunxi.
Qin Yunxi wore a sly smile.
Grace: "—"
She shivered uncontrollably and quickly averted her gaze. What shocking news could this man possibly have? It was just another one of his usual pickup tricks.
She wouldn't fall for it.
Grace lowered her head and said coldly, "If you have nothing else, get out. Don't bother me."
Qin Yunxi sighed, shaking his head and humming, "Are you really not curious? I heard Cristiano is going to do something to Du Ruoxin..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, if you don't find out, you'll regret it for life..."
Grace: Annoying!
Before the man could finish, she grabbed the folder on the desk and threw it at him.
Qin Yunxi dodged quickly.
"Bang—"
The folder fell to the floor, emitting an "innocent" sob.
Qin Yunxi, unwilling to give up, continued his taunting, "What a shame, I see my wife has absolutely no loyalty to her best friend."
"Such an important matter..."
A teacup was hurled at him.
He nimbly avoided it, his words becoming even more provocative, "Wife, so you and Du Ruoxin are just plastic sisters."
A hard hat was thrown.
"The boat of friendship capsizes when it capsizes."
A pen holder was thrown.
"Alas, women's friendships are just not as strong as men's."
A calendar was thrown.
"Never mind, never mind, who told me to spoil my wife? Since my wife doesn't care about Du Ruoxin's fate, I won't either. Immediately..."
A flower pot was thrown.
Accompanied by the woman's furious roar, "Qin Yunxi, shut up!"
"Get out!"
She was fuming. How could this man be so noisy, chattering more annoyingly than a woman?
Qin Yunxi must have been a gossip in his past life.
So talkative!
The great Mr. Qin, seeing that the woman seemed to be getting angry, quickly retreated behind the door and even considerately closed it.
Truly—
Can't people just talk properly? Why throw things?
Grace stared at the closed door, her lips twitching. This man was truly despicable! He wouldn't stop unless he was beaten!
She glared at the door, her chest heaving.
She thought she would feel better after driving away the annoying scumbag, but Grace became even more uneasy.
He said...
What did Cristiano do to Sister Xin? Did it require her to go to great lengths?
Even though Grace knew Qin Yunxi was exaggerating, her heart still fluttered.
Taking out her phone, she dialed Du Ruoxin's number.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please—"
A local mobile number from e-city, an international mobile number from four years ago, both were switched off.
Grace grew more and more flustered.
"Should I..."
Just then, the door was pushed open.
"Bang—"
Qin Yunxi walked in with a broom and dustpan, cleaning as he went, and said ingratiatingly, "This flower pot can't be thrown away, you see, there's soil, broken ceramic, and water, all over the place."
"It's not that the cleaning is difficult, but if it's broken, the flower will die."
"Such a beautiful and fragrant gardenia, it's a shame for it to die."
Grace: "—"
The muscles in her face twitched uncontrollably.
She really wanted to pick up the nearby potted green radish and smash it at him, but seeing him quietly cleaning.
She felt both angry and amused.
Qin Yunxi... why was he... this kind of man?
It seemed inconsistent with his persona!
Grace watched as the man nimbly and quickly cleaned up the mess. Her heart felt as if it had been touched by something.
She was no longer like a hedgehog, pricking him every time she saw him.
Grace's gaze towards Qin Yunxi gradually shifted from resentment to tenderness, a tenderness she herself didn't notice.
Even her tone became calm without her realizing it.
"Qin Yunxi," she called out softly, "What exactly did Cristiano do to Sister Xin?"
Qin Yunxi, holding the broom and dustpan, looked at the woman intently.
This time, he wasn't flippant, nor did he continue his act. His tone became serious, "My people told me that Cristiano is looking for churches."
"He has booked all the high-end churches in Hamburg."
Booked for three days.
"Churches?" Grace frowned in surprise.
She knew very well what a church was and what it was used for.
Could it be?
Cristiano was really going to marry Sister Xin?!!!!
Did Sister Xin agree?
Impossible!
Sister Xin would absolutely not agree!
Grace suddenly stood up and rushed out. But after only a few steps, she hesitated again.
Her eyes fixed on Qin Yunxi—You said you would take me to Europe to find Sister Xin, you can't go back on your word!
Qin Yunxi understood his wife's unspoken communication and curved his lips slightly.
"Let's go!"
He turned around briskly.
Casually taking the woman's hand, he pulled her and ran outside.
This time, Grace did not refuse.
The two ran hand in hand on the concrete road. At first, Grace and Qin Yunxi's paces were not synchronized, and she almost fell.
Fortunately, Qin Yunxi quickly steadied her.
Gradually, the two began to find a rhythm.
Her steps could keep up with his, and he slowed down for her.
"Qin..." Yunxi, where are you taking me?
Before Grace could ask, the sound of airplane engines rumbled from above.
A helicopter!
Grace looked up.
She saw a rappelling rope being lowered from the helicopter.
Qin Yunxi accurately grabbed it, taking Grace with him onto the helicopter. Throughout the process, he never let go of her hand.
"Cough, cough," now that everyone was on board, it was time to let go.
Grace wanted to pull her hand back.
"No," Qin Yunxi tightened his grip. "Once I hold my wife's hand, I'll never let go."
