After Rebirth, I Became the Richest Woman - Chapter 6

“Yu Qing, Yu Qing, I love you. Don’t leave me.” Han Qiuzi hooked her arms around Yu Qing’s neck, her lips and tongue eagerly searching behind the other woman’s ear.

Yu Qing had no strength to refuse at all. Before she could even struggle, she sank into a desire she had not felt for a long time.

Only after reaching the peak did she realize what had just happened.

Yu Qing was greedy for Han Qiuzi’s scent. Even though she regretted losing control just now, she still could not easily leave. She even allowed herself to be reckless once more, capturing Han Qiuzi’s slightly swollen lips again and sending the other woman to another peak.

The next morning, Han Qiuzi rubbed her aching head, completely unable to remember what had happened the previous night or how she had gotten home.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and lifted the blanket. There was an unmistakable mark on the bed, and even her underwear had been changed.

Han Qiuzi’s head buzzed. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes grew hot.

She curled into a ball and desperately tried to recall what had happened last night. She only remembered drinking alone in the club out of frustration, and later, someone had come in.

It must have been someone very familiar, or the manager would not have let them in. But no matter how hard she tried, she could not remember who that person was.

Han Qiuzi’s tears slid down one after another. She hated herself for being careless. For so many years, she had protected herself so well, only for something to go wrong at this critical moment.

“I made porridge and hangover soup. Get up and have some.” Yu Qing pushed open the door and walked in.

In that instant, Han Qiuzi’s heart seemed to be filled with blood again, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

When Yu Qing saw Han Qiuzi looking like an injured fawn, her heart clenched in pain. It hurt so much that even her fingertips went numb, and she almost could not stand steadily.

To confirm it, Han Qiuzi gathered her courage and asked, “Was it you who brought me back last night?”

“Mm.”

“Then…” A bright smile, like the first thaw after snow, bloomed on Han Qiuzi’s face. “We—”

Yu Qing interrupted her. “I originally went to see you yesterday to discuss business. I didn’t expect you to be drunk out of your mind. Now that we’ve slept together, I think the business that follows might be easier to discuss.”

“What do you mean?” The smile on Han Qiuzi’s lips gradually disappeared.

“I heard Tang Jie’s son is pursuing you. I imagine you two have many chances to meet. I have a good deal.”

Hearing this, Han Qiuzi trembled all over, her face as cold as frost. “Yu Qing, is playing with my heart that fun?”

“Miss Han, we broke up five years ago. Even if we slept together again yesterday, it doesn’t mean anything. At most, it gives our upcoming cooperation a good start.” Yu Qing stared straight into Han Qiuzi’s eyes without avoiding them at all. “Han Group wants to shift from traditional industries into the technology industry. Miss Han will definitely be interested in this deal.”

“Get out.” There was not much emotion in Han Qiuzi’s tone, but it was more chilling than hysteria.

“I know you’re a mature person. Listen carefully to what I’m going to say next.” Yu Qing was not affected by Han Qiuzi’s emotions. “If Huayuan Investment under Han Group lets go of its shares in Lida Express, a five-hundred-million stake will probably have many people wanting to take it over. And Yesheng will be very short of money next.”

Seeing that Han Qiuzi did not want to speak, Yu Qing said, “That is all I have to say. I hope Miss Han will consider it carefully,” then quickly left.

After walking more than ten meters away from Han Qiuzi’s house, Yu Qing finally could not control her emotions. She crouched down at a corner, her face covered in tears.

Yu Qing hated herself like this. The person she least wanted to hurt was clearly Han Qiuzi, yet in the end, she still had no choice.

Since they were both in the business world, contact between them was unavoidable. In the past, in order not to let Han Qiuzi remain trapped in their feelings, Yu Qing had always deliberately avoided her. But this time, she could not. Ye Qisheng had shown her great kindness by recognizing her talent, and she had a responsibility to Yesheng Group.

While cruelly cutting off the other woman’s hope, how could she herself not feel pain?

On the other side, after Ye Xinuo received Ding Qi’s reply, she hesitated for a while before finally deciding to cooperate with Qin Moyan.

Previously, she had trapped herself in a dead end, afraid that known events would change. Thinking about it carefully, even if she abandoned Qin Moyan and took down the city that was Ding Qi by herself, the future would still change all the same.

Moreover, although Qin Moyan was a powerful opponent, she was open and aboveboard. She never did any dirty, petty things. At least by cooperating with her, Ye Xinuo did not have to worry about suffering a loss.

Ye Xinuo gripped her phone. After pausing for two seconds, she pressed the call button.

“Hello, Director Qin. Do you have time to meet?”

“All right.” Faint noise could be heard from the other end of the call. “I have something to deal with right now. Miss Ye can send me your available times, and I’ll have my assistant arrange a slot.”

“Got it.”

After Ye Xinuo hung up, she felt somewhat annoyed. What a terrible person, putting on airs like that.

She let out a breath, then looked at the air with disdain and said, “Director Qin, I don’t need to check your schedule. I’m very busy. Later, my assistant will tell you when I’m free to meet. Just wait properly!”

When Ye Xinuo arrived at the agreed café, she saw Qin Moyan sitting by the window at a glance. Her ink-black hair cascaded down, and sunlight shone through the glass onto the side of her face, making her look quiet and serene.

While Ye Xinuo was lost in thought, she had already taken a photo of the scene with her phone.

She laughed self-mockingly, put away her phone, and pushed the door open to enter.

Qin Moyan nodded politely. “What would you like to drink?”

“Don’t you already know?” Ye Xinuo revealed a playful smile.

Qin Moyan called over the server. “A half-sugar latte and lemon water, thank you.”

When she looked at Ye Xinuo again, she explained, “When I went to the company before, I saw someone buying coffee for you.”

“Oh.” Ye Xinuo understood. “Director Qin is rather attentive. Otherwise, I would have thought you had taken a liking to me and specifically investigated my preferences.”

“I only like challenges.” Qin Moyan paused. “Miss Ye can rest assured.”

Ye Xinuo: “…” What is that supposed to mean? Is she saying I look easy to handle?!

Although she had lived five extra years, before her rebirth she had only been twenty-seven, still two years younger than Qin Moyan was now. Her girlish temperament was still there, and hearing such an evaluation made her very indignant.

“Let’s talk business. What is the subject Miss Ye came to see me about today?”
