Chapter 279 What did you say?
“Remember,” Qin Reng warned in a low voice, “you have to behave like me at the company.”
Yu Yuetong nodded, but secretly thought to herself: You can't even act like me, how dare you criticize me?
The car stopped in front of the Qin Group building. Just as Yu Yuetong was about to get out of the car, Qin Reng stopped her.
"Wait a minute," he frowned at Yu Yuetong, "How can you face anyone looking like this?"
Yu Yuetong was completely confused: "What's wrong with me?"
"Your tie is crooked," Qin Reng said, reaching out to straighten it for her with practiced ease. "And the buttons on your suit jacket are buttoned wrong too."
Yu Yuetong looked down and saw that it was true. She was about to do it herself when Qin Reng slapped her hand away: "Don't move, let me do it."
Watching Qin Reng carefully tidy her clothes, Yu Yuetong suddenly felt her heart skip a beat. This man clearly didn't even know how to wear high heels himself, yet he was taking care of her appearance. This contrast… damn it, why did she find him so adorable again?
"Alright," Qin Reng stepped back and looked her over, "this is more like it."
Looking at herself in the mirror—no, at Qin Reng—Yu Yuetong suddenly had a bold idea: "How about... we just tell Qin Yu about this?"
"Are you crazy?" Qin Reng's eyes widened.
"Think about it, rather than letting him misunderstand, it's better to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Reng suddenly covered her mouth: "Shut up, someone's coming."
Yu Yuetong looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ji Momo walking gracefully towards her in high heels. Today, she was wearing a white dress, which made her look pure and lovely, completely unlike her usual decisive and efficient self.
"President Qin." Ji Momo smiled sweetly at Yu Yuetong, but her gaze seemed to glance at Qin Reng almost imperceptibly. "Miss Yu is here too."
Yu Yuetong subconsciously straightened her back and nodded, mimicking Qin Reng's usual manner. Just as she was about to speak, she felt a kick to her calf.
"Hmm." Yu Yuetong then remembered Qin Reng's usual tone of voice and responded coldly.
Ji Momo seemed unfazed by her coldness, and instead took a few steps closer: "President Qin, I heard there's an important meeting today, which I also need to attend. Why don't we go up together?"
Just as Yu Yuetong was about to refuse, Qin Reng spoke up first: "Excuse me, I have something to say to my husband."
Ji Momo's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered: "Alright then, I'll go up first." After saying that, she didn't forget to wink at Yu Yuetong.
Once Ji Momo was out of sight, Yu Yuetong breathed a sigh of relief: "What's wrong with that woman? That look in her eyes just now..."
"Shut up." Qin Reng gritted his teeth. "Do you know you almost gave yourself away just now? When have I ever been this polite to anyone?"
"I was just imitating you, wasn't I?" Yu Yuetong said, feeling wronged. "Besides, the way you said 'my husband' just now didn't sound like me at all."
"Then tell me what I should say?" Qin Reng sneered. "Call me 'darling'? 'baby'? Or..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Yu Yuetong quickly interrupted him, "Fine, I admit I was wrong."
Qin Reng snorted and turned to leave. But his high heels wobbled, and he tumbled to the side. Yu Yuetong reacted quickly, catching him, and the two were pressed together again.
This time, Yu Yuetong clearly felt the body in her arms trembling slightly.
"Are you... alright?" Yu Yuetong asked softly.
"Let go." Qin Reng's voice was somewhat muffled.
Yu Yuetong didn't let go: "You'll fall if you walk like that."
"I said let go!" Qin Reng struggled.
"I won't let go." Yu Yuetong tightened her grip. "Unless you promise me you'll practice walking before you join the company."
Qin Reng raised his head and glared at her fiercely: "You dare to order me around?"
“This isn’t an order,” Yu Yuetong said helplessly. “I’m just concerned about you. Think about it, if you fell during the meeting, that would be truly embarrassing.”
Qin Reng remained silent for a moment, then reluctantly nodded: "Ten minutes."
"Deal." Yu Yuetong released her grip and took a step back. "Come on, let me teach you. Your center of gravity should be..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Qin Yu walking towards her from not far away. Yu Yuetong's heart tightened, and she subconsciously grabbed Qin Reng's wrist.
Qin Reng also saw Qin Yu, and his expression instantly turned ugly.
This is getting interesting, Yu Yuetong sighed inwardly. She wanted to see what kind of grudge existed between these two cousins.
As Qin Yu approached, a meaningful smile played on his lips. He first glanced at Yu Yuetong holding Qin Reng's hand, then at Qin Reng's crooked high heels, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"So affectionate, huh?" Qin Yu said slowly. "Cousin, are you teaching your wife how to walk?"
Yu Yuetong felt the body beneath her wrist tense instantly. She knew Qin Reng must be furious right now, but she couldn't show it.
"What's it to you?" Yu Yuetong said coldly, deliberately mimicking Qin Reng's usual tone.
Qin Yu's smile deepened with amusement: "How can it not be my business? As your cousin, I should at least care about your wife." His gaze fell on Qin Reng. "I heard you've been doing very well at the company lately? That's rare. Didn't you used to hate these social engagements?"
Qin Reng gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger: "Qin Yu, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Nothing, I just feel you've changed a lot." Qin Yu took a step forward. "Where did that little princess who used to throw tantrums go? Could it be..." He suddenly leaned closer to Qin Reng, "...has she been completely subdued?"
Seeing that Qin Reng's fist was already clenched, Yu Yuetong quickly stepped forward and stood between the two: "Qin Yu, if you say another word, I'll make you regret it at today's board meeting."
"Heh," Qin Yu chuckled dismissively, "You? Don't forget, if it weren't for the old lady, you wouldn't even be able to step foot in the Qin family..."
"Enough!" Qin Reng suddenly interrupted him, his voice filled with suppressed anger, "If you dare to say another word, I will..."
"So what?" Qin Yu raised an eyebrow. "You're quite protective of him now. What, have you really fallen for him..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Yuetong suddenly released Qin Reng's hand and grabbed Qin Yu's tie. She pulled hard, forcing Qin Yu to bend over.
"I told you, shut up." Yu Yuetong's voice was as cold as ice. "Otherwise, I'll make you look bad right here."
Qin Yu was clearly taken aback by her actions and stood there stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, the composure he had shown earlier was gone.
"you…"
"Get out." Yu Yuetong let go of her hand. "Don't make me say it a second time."
Qin Yu straightened his tie and left with a gloomy face. Only after he was out of sight did Yu Yuetong breathe a sigh of relief and turn to Qin Reng: "Are you alright?"
Qin Reng stared straight at her, his expression complex: "What you just did..."
“I know,” Yu Yuetong said, touching her nose somewhat sheepishly, “It might not be like you. But that guy was just too annoying, I couldn’t help it.”
Qin Reng was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Thank you."
Yu Yuetong was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
