Chapter 0024 – A Woman’s Husband (2 / 2)

“I’m traveling to River City for a week on business, and just in case, I’d like you to keep this seal for me.”

Su Wanqing’s explanation seemed to carry an unquestionable firmness.

“It’s a short time away, but emergencies are unpredictable, and I’ll be more at ease with you.”

Qi Zhiyu’s dissatisfaction slowly dissolved in Su Wanqing’s words, and he sighed lightly, “Special circumstances, special treatment, the formalities will wait until you return.”

Afterward, he gently placed the seal on Su Wanqing’s desktop, a hint of non-negotiable in his tone, “This seal was handed over to you by Grandfather himself, and it is right that you should keep it properly by yourself.”

“I was afraid that if I lost it, Grandfather would blame me for my negligence.”

Su Wanqing retorted, clearly not agreeing with Qi Zhiyu’s proposal.

“It has always been handled that way, and it is only fair that if there is something that requires special authorization, it should be requested in advance.”

“With an early morning flight tomorrow, time is running out to follow routine procedures.”

Qi Zhi Iu’s face still didn’t ease up at all, “It’s only a week, there’s nothing that can’t be waited for.”

“But ……”

Before Su Wanqing could finish, Qi Zhiyu’s words were like cold water pouring over his head, “Could it be that you already have an agreement with Li Yanzhou and intend to resolve all of this privately?”

His words were sharp, with an edge that could not be ignored.

“I’m just trying to make sure the job goes smoothly, why bring him into this?”

Su Wanqing helplessly took the seal back and re-located it in the safe.

“YG’s seal, why isn’t it kept in YG’s office?”

Qi Zhiyu looked at the scene and asked abruptly.

“The most dangerous places are often the safest.”

Su Wanqing hid the seal in a hidden corner deep in the safe while slowly explaining, “Do you remember the theft that YG had suffered? I was merely saving for a rainy day.”

Qi Zhiyu frowned slightly, “You always worry excessively.”

“Wait until it actually happens to make amends, then remorse won’t help.”

Su Wanqing closed the safe and checked it over and over again until she was sure it was correct, then added two more locks.

There was a soft, rhythmic knocking at the door, “What can I do for you?”

Xia Yang stood still in the doorway, her eyes inadvertently skimming over Qi Zhi Iu’s figure, and responded, “Mr. Su, the police department called to urge the matter.”

“We leave at once.”

Su Wanqing picked up her handbag again, her tone carrying an unquestionable decision, “If you have other arrangements, you don’t have to accompany me to make a statement, I can handle it myself.”

In response to Su Wanqing’s repeated expulsions, Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow and leisurely said, “Coincidentally, I happen to have some time today. I’m also curious as to how Young Lady Qi got entangled with a married man.”

The office door was still half-open, and not far away, the astonished gazes of the employees seemed to be able to penetrate the air as they murmured in disbelief – Young Mrs. Qi?

This news was far more shocking than the rumors of Su Wanqing and a married man.

“Is there something wrong with you?”

Su Wanqing quickly closed the office door, her usual gentle face took on a hint of sulkiness due to his words.

“I’m telling the truth, what’s wrong with that?”

Qi Zhi Iu’s gaze locked, his tone firm, “They are all your people, what can you do if you know? Besides, aren’t you going to the police station to take a statement? Sooner or later, our relationship is going to be publicized.”

With his hands in his pockets, he paced the office without skipping a beat, his words as calm as possible.
