Su Qian ignored Ye Fan's question and said rudely instead, "What are you doing here?"
"What else? I'm going for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner," said Ye Fan honestly.
The moment Su Qian heard what Ye Fan said, she was infuriated by his shameless response.
"My god! Are you serious? Did Young Master Zhang invite you? You shamelessly came without his invitation? How thick-skinned are you? Damn! I have never seen anyone as shameless as you!"
Su Qian choked with anger.
Ye Fan made it sound as though attending the Entrepreneurs' Dinner with them was the most natural thing on earth.
But the crux of the matter was that Zhang Zheng-Fu didn't even invite him.
Yet here he was turning up to join them shamelessly. The moment he appeared, he brazenly said he was attending the Entrepreneurs' Dinner with them.
"Are you an entrepreneur? You're just a live-in husband. What business do you have there? Are you going there to disgrace us? How dare you?” said Su Qian contemptuously. Then she ignored Ye Fan before opening the car door to get into the car.
Zhang Zheng-Fu now noticed Ye Fan's presence and sneered, "Heh, aren't you Miss Qiu's live-in husband? Why are you all dressed up? Are you planning on attending the Entrepreneurs' Dinner by using my connections? Sorry the car's full, so there's nothing I can do to help. If you want to go, you'll have to run over yourself."
Then Zhang Zheng-Fu snickered before opening the car door to get into the car and starting the engine.
Ye Fan frowned. From the sound of it, Mu-Cheng was in the car.
Just as Ye Fan was about to step forward and find out for himself, Zhang Zheng-Fu started the engine and floored the gas. The wheels spun, and the Audi Q7 shot out like an arrow.
Zhang Zheng-Fu clearly stopped Ye Fan from seeing Qiu Mu-Cheng on purpose.
"Damn! Stop, stop right there! Mu-Cheng, Mu-Cheng!"
Although Ye Fan shouted from behind loudly, Zhang Zheng-Fu sped off swiftly with the two ladies. His car rumbled like a roaring wild beast as it cut through the street and converged with the traffic ahead of them.
Inside the car.
Qiu Mu-Cheng seemed to have heard something. She instantly turned her head and frowned as she asked, "Qianqian, is Ye Fan here? I thought I heard his voice."
Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to open the car window to look behind out of curiosity, but Su Qian pulled her back.
"Mu-Cheng, you must have misheard. That live-in husband of yours is probably mopping the floor at home. Why would he have nothing better to do than turn up at your office? Stop imagining things," said Su Qian as she made things up.
Su Qian had always instigated Qiu Mu-Cheng to find herself another husband.
Since this was the perfect opportunity, Su Qian didn't want it to get ruined by Ye Fan, so she naturally didn't want him to tag along.
"Did I really hear wrongly?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng quizzically again. In the end, she broke free of Su Qian's hold and reached her head out to glance behind.
But there was nothing except traffic and dim light within Qiu Mu-Cheng's view. Even if there was someone there, he was probably already concealed by the vast evening sky.
So Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't catch sight of Ye Fan's silhouette at all.
I must be imagining things," muttered Qiu
Mu-Cheng instantly when the thought surfaced on her mind. Then she borrowed Su Qian's phone and sent Ye Fan a text message. His phone's battery was flat, so it had automatically shut down after she spoke to Han Dong-Min on the phone.
"Ye Fan, I won't be back for dinner. I'm attending the Entrepreneurs' Dinner. Hope things go smoothly."
After sending the text message, Qiu Mu-Cheng sent another cheeky smiley face.
He could consider himself forgiven.
She wanted to forgive Ye Fan for playing her out last night.
There was bound to be an occasional conflict between husband and wife. If they both gave in a little, their disagreement would get resolved.
"Damn, she really went for the dinner!” swore Ye Fan angrily the moment he saw Qiu Mu-Cheng's text message as he stood at the office entrance.
