You're so sweet (GL) - Chapter 11

“Go back?” This is said lightly, but where am I going back to? Qin Luo asked blankly, and for a long time heard no response.

“Hey, Su Jingwan, President Su? You wouldn’t just fall asleep like that! Where are we going back to, answer me before you sleep.”

Su Jingwan kept her eyes closed, as if she were asleep. No matter what Qin Luo said, she wouldn’t speak again. Qin Luo irritably scratched her hair, “What the heck is all this!”

The reason she was so annoyed was mainly because this was almost the scene she had always dreamed of—cradling the beautiful, drunk woman in her arms, and then taking her to… taking her my ass, she wanted to take her, but could she? If she really took Su Jingwan away, what would this person think when she woke up? Moreover, Su Jingwan and Qin Ziyuan still had that ambiguous relationship, which already made her keep a safe distance.

Su Jingwan was asleep, Lisa hadn’t returned, and she wanted to take the person away but couldn’t. Qin Luo helped Su Jingwan as she tried to walk back to the private room, but was suddenly pulled by Su Jingwan, almost falling over.

“Are you awake?” Qin Luo felt as if she was carrying a large stone. With just half of Su Jingwan’s weight pressing down, she was almost unable to stand.

She quickly helped Su Jingwan lean against the wall, then single-handedly took out her phone. After turning off airplane mode, she suddenly remembered that she didn’t have Lisa’s phone number at all. Instead, her phone was flooded with messages and calls.

She originally wanted to ask if anyone could help, but the first sentence of Xu Shaotian’s message was that she was out having fun somewhere. Qin Luo was a bit helpless, replied with an emoji, reported herself safe, and then continued with airplane mode.

This was only the first day of work, what kind of messed up things were these!

“Su Jingwan, are you still sober?” Qin Luo asked again. If Su Jingwan was still conscious, she could let Su Jingwan rest where she was, and she would go out to look for Lisa first. After all, Lisa was Su Jingwan’s assistant and would at least know where Su Jingwan lived.

But Su Jingwan was not sober now, and Qin Luo didn’t dare or feel safe leaving her alone in the private room.

This situation was really depressing. Qin Luo reached out and gently pinched Su Jingwan’s cheek, “Do you trust me that much? You dare to fall asleep in front of me, and dare to lean on me. Aren’t you afraid I’ll take advantage of you?”

The skin touched by her fingertips was so smooth that she didn’t dare to use too much force. Qin Luo was even a little reluctant to let go. Su Jingwan was indeed a young miss, a fair, rich, and beautiful ‘silly white sweet’ (naive and sweet).

Qin Luo rolled her eyes to the sky for the Nth time, thinking why couldn’t she have such a beautiful older sister? Or when would Su Jingwan change her mind and willingly throw herself into her arms or something like that.

She didn’t have any grand aspirations in life, just this small wish that couldn’t be fulfilled. The heavens are blind.

Qin Luo’s mind went blank for a while. She had actually thought of several ways to solve the current problem, but she was too lazy to move, or rather, she was reluctant to move.

Such an opportunity was too rare. If Su Jingwan were to marry Qin Ziyuan in the future, it would be a collector’s item. She might as well stay a little longer until Lisa came back.

But before long, a male waiter walked over, “Two ladies, is there anything I can help you with?”

“…” Their appearance indeed looked like they needed help. Qin Luo felt her shoulder aching a little, so she replied, “Yes, yes, yes, I do need help. Could you please…”

Qin Luo thought for a moment. Su Jingwan was so beautiful, what if the waiter secretly took advantage of Su Jingwan while helping her? So she changed her mind and the words that came out were:

“Could you please bring a chair over for me.”

The waiter was a bit surprised, but quickly regained his composure and went to bring a chair over. Qin Luo helped Su Jingwan sit on the chair, and only then did she truly breathe a sigh of relief.

This Su Jingwan, she didn’t look heavy, but supporting her was really quite laborious. But thinking about it, Su Jingwan was considered tall among girls, and had a well-proportioned figure, unlike Xu Shaotian who was on the thinner side. It was normal for her to be a bit heavier.

Su Jingwan must have Lisa’s number, right? Qin Luo found Su Jingwan’s phone in her jacket pocket. Just as she was about to use Su Jingwan’s fingerprint to unlock it, she heard Lisa’s voice from behind.

“Secretary Qin, what are you… Is President Su drunk?”

“Oh, Lisa, you came just in time. I was about to call you.” Qin Luo was overjoyed, waved the phone in her hand, and then put the phone back into Su Jingwan’s clothing pocket. “Where did you go? President Su is feeling a bit unwell and said she wants to go home.”

“Sorry to trouble you, I just went to the restroom to wash my face and got delayed. Let’s help President Su into the car first.” Lisa quickly walked over and said.

Qin Luo nodded, and together with Lisa, helped Su Jingwan to the entrance. Then Lisa went to get the car, and she continued to support Su Jingwan and waited for a while.

It wasn’t very late, at least not late for someone like her who often stayed out all night. Just now, Lisa mentioned an address, and Qin Luo realized that Su Jingwan was not living at the Su family home, but near the company. It seemed she wasn’t living with Qin Ziyuan for the time being.

Qin Luo didn’t quite understand what heterosexual dating was like, but since they liked each other, they should want to stick together every day. Okay, this wasn’t her business to worry about.

However, this was in the opposite direction from where she lived, and Lisa’s home was in another direction. Qin Luo felt bad about making Lisa drive back and forth, so she called Xu Shaotian to come pick her up.

“Secretary Qin, aren’t you getting in the car?”

Qin Luo helped Su Jingwan into the car and fastened her seatbelt. “No, my friend is coming to pick me up. You take President Su and go first.”

Xu Shaotian was nearby. She had said she would arrive in ten minutes when Qin Luo called, so Qin Luo didn’t plan to leave, to prevent Shaotian from not finding her.

Besides, Lisa looked so effortless when supporting Su Jingwan, unlike her who was so useless. If she went, she would only be in the way. Su Jingwan wasn’t anyone important to her, so there was no need to be overly attentive, right?

“Alright then, be careful. I’ll take President Su back now.” Lisa said no more, started the car, and drove away.

“Okay, goodbye.” Qin Luo waved.

As the car slowly drove away and Qin Luo’s figure became smaller and smaller in the car mirror, Lisa finally spoke, “President Su, should I drive you straight back to the apartment?”

“Yes, go straight back.” Su Jingwan in the back seat slightly opened her eyes, which were clear, without any sign of drunkenness.

When Lisa came back and saw Su Jingwan sitting with her eyes closed, she had already noticed that she was pretending to be drunk. After all, she had been with President Su for quite some time and had never seen her drunk. However, Lisa couldn’t figure out why her boss suddenly felt like teasing someone.

Secretary Qin was the first person the boss had ever brought into the company. Judging by their interactions, the two seemed to know each other.

Recalling Secretary Qin’s performance today, Lisa guessed that Secretary Qin might have some connection with the boss. After all, this parachuted newcomer didn’t have much experience and looked like she was new to this kind of work.

She was so beautiful and was very generous. She chose such an expensive private kitchen for ordering food. The company was already abuzz with discussion behind the scenes. Everyone was guessing who this Secretary Qin really was and what kind of relationship she had with President Su.

But guessing is one thing. As for Lisa, she was paid by the boss, so she naturally knew what to say and what not to say. In this situation, the best choice was to keep quiet. Others only dared to discuss it in private anyway.

On the other side, Xu Shaotian arrived quickly. Qin Luo got into the car, refused her suggestion to go out and have fun, and just closed her eyes to rest.

“Luo Luo, you just started work today, why do you look like your soul has been sucked out? Did you perhaps have some office play with the beautiful CEO since you didn’t talk to me all afternoon?” Xu Shaotian teased.

“Play your head. What’s in your brain? Did you watch too many movies?” Qin Luo laughed and scolded.

“Hahaha, I couldn’t help it. I was just curious. Why else didn’t you come back earlier?” Xu Shaotian asked.

“Overtime, social engagement.” Qin Luo answered weakly.

“What? How can you have overtime on the first day of work? This company is too unethical! Do they pay overtime? Don’t let them rip you off!” Xu Shaotian said hurriedly.

“I don’t think so.” Qin Luo thought that even if there was, it wouldn’t be much, considering her monthly salary was only a few thousand yuan.

“Huh, but Luo Luo, since you’re so busy on your first day, is Su Jingwan deliberately making things difficult for you?”

“She’s so busy, why would she make things difficult for me?” Qin Luo felt more and more tired as she spoke. Su Jingwan had indeed been busy all day in the office today, and she even drank so much during dinner tonight. She was practically a workaholic.

“Why, you ask? Think about it, you don’t want to work in her company, so does she want you to stay? You’re not a secretary major, and you’re only half-siblings with Qin Ziyuan. Also, you flirted with her in the bar before, so she must have figured out your sexual orientation. Given this, she’s outwardly polite to you, but actually, she might be eager to send you away, right?” Xu Shaotian quickly analyzed for Qin Luo.

Qin Luo was stunned for a moment, then thought about it. What Xu Shaotian said was indeed reasonable. Old Mrs. Qin’s purpose for wanting her to join the company was unknown, and Su Jingwan’s sudden intervention also seemed illogical.

She was the one who forcibly kissed Su Jingwan in the bar before. Su Jingwan didn’t initiate it and probably wasn’t very willing. It was a blessing they didn’t become enemies; where would any affection come from?

Perhaps Su Jingwan’s intervention at the time wasn’t to help her, but rather to save face for Old Mrs. Qin and Qin Ziyuan, fearing that she would refuse Old Mrs. Qin right there?

Qin Ziyuan also seemed unhappy at the time. Compared to Qin Luo, Su Jingwan would definitely prioritize Qin Ziyuan more.

Qin Luo wasn’t very sure, but she had to admit that Xu Shaotian’s words reminded her that in Su Jingwan’s eyes, she might be nothing. The experience she had gained from others before probably wouldn’t apply to dealing with Su Jingwan.

“Luo Luo, why aren’t you talking? Are you upset?” Xu Shaotian was outspoken. After speaking, she saw Qin Luo’s expression was wrong and immediately regretted it. “Luo Luo, I was joking, don’t take it seriously.”

“I’m not upset. What’s there to be upset about?” Qin Luo picked up a bottle of mineral water from the side, opened it, and took a sip. She felt much more awake. “You’re right. I misunderstood some things. I just can’t see Su Jingwan clearly anymore.”

“Why bother seeing her clearly? Just quit and leave.” Xu Shaotian hated conspiracies and schemes the most. Her family was simple and had never had any feuds. Every time she heard about other people’s family dramas, she couldn’t understand why they couldn’t just cut the knot decisively.

“If I leave now, wouldn’t that be admitting defeat to them?” Qin Luo smiled and said.

“That’s true.” Xu Shaotian thought for a moment. Qin Luo had told her some things at noon. Although she couldn’t understand what these big families were thinking, Qin Luo had a handle on it and probably had ways to deal with it.

“How about this, Tian Tian, help me investigate something.” Qin Luo thought for a moment and said.

“Sure, I have quite a few contacts for private investigators now.” Xu Shaotian raised an eyebrow, looking smug.

Before, she had a girlfriend who cheated, and in a fit of anger, she hired several private investigators to look into it. Later, she got familiar with them and occasionally helped friends in her circle investigate things. She even called herself the ‘Little Detective Cop’ and had contacted those people last time to investigate Su Jingxun for Qin Luo.

Qin Luo couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Stop joking, I’m serious. Don’t just find anyone to investigate, and it’s best not to go through your hands. Be discreet.”

“Oh, alright, then. Leave this to me.” Xu Shaotian promised.
