My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 541: Evil Trick

Mu Qing got really jealous looking at them.

He was still finding it impossible to believe that these two had become a couple.

How curious? But this was a fact now and he better believe it.

Now he suspected more and more that someone else was in Jing Yiran’s body, otherwise he would not be treating a woman so nicely. Hadn’t he always regarded women as a rag whom he threw away after one time use?

What was more, could Lu even be counted as a woman? She was a tremendously strong tomboy!

Mu Qing could not help but think of Zhao Anan when he watched the interaction between Jing Yiran and Lu.

He had not seen her for days. She was either at her own home or visiting Shangguan Ning. She adored Jing Rui a lot.

He was the one who had always chased after Zhao Anan, and tried hard to stay close to her. But the closer he came, the further she ran away.

So now, he no longer dared to tag along with Zhao Anan everywhere.

If one of the couple was making sacrifices all the time, he would get tired as time went by.

Mu Qing had gotten tired numerous times, and also confused about what he should do.

For example right now, he was tired. It could be because of the strenuous blood transfusion, or because of the bottleneck which he had run into while courting Zhao Anan.

After he finished injecting the last drop of fresh blood into Lu and saw Lu’s pale face as well as Jing Yiran’s concerned one, he suddenly felt very jealous of him.

Even the heartless Jing Yiran had met the woman he loved, and Lu who had no emotional experience, was getting his love and care.

A couple in love would eventually have a good end, as long as both of them stayed devoted.

He had been waiting for Zhao Anan for eleven years, starting from the age 20 all the way to the age of 31.

Mu Qing was certain that he had no interest in any other women. Zhao Anan was the only one for him.

He had been dreaming about making wedding vows with Zhao Anan and spending the rest of their life together in steady happiness.

But he simply had no idea about how to do it. He wanted to keep her by his side, but she kept pushing him away.

After they returned from the UK, Zhao Anan did not treat him so fiercely as before. She smiled and joked with him. But she kept a distance from him.

Mu Qing knew that she was still hesitating.

Even Shangguan Ning could tell what was going on and she had proposed a plan which he needed to respond to.

Mu Qing did not want to use any tricks on Zhao Anan. Nor did he want to lie to her. That was why he didn’t approve of Shangguan Ning’s idea.

Seeing Lu’s condition stabilize, Mu Qing packed up the things, and walked away leaving the couple alone.

As he returned to his own office, he saw his phone ring.

Seeing the caller’s name on the screen, Mu Qing smiled bitterly yet answered the call, “Hey, Sister-in-law!”

“Doctor Mu, am I interrupting you?” Shangguan Ning asked with a slight smile. She knew that Mu Wensheng and Mu Qing were busy with Lu, and that the procedure had been going on for days.

“No, I am resting!” Mu Qing sounded hoarse, still spoke pleasantly. He was a cheerful person and had the ability of driving away the distress in his heart.

“How is Lu? Is she okay?” Shangguan Ning learnt from Jing Yichen that Lu was suffering from illness, so she was worried that something might have happened to her.

Mu Qing answered assuringly. “Don’t worry, Sister-in-law, Lu is doing fine. The operation will be finished by tomorrow. She wouldn’t have any problem for at least five months after this.”

“That’s good!” Shangguan Ning felt assured, and then asked him the same question. “Doctor Mu, did you think about my proposal?”

Mu Qing smiled bitterly again and answered in a low voice. “Sister-in-law, let’s drop it. I am worried that Anan would… get mad.”

Shangguan Ning did not seem to care about what Zhao Anan would feel. Instead, she said with displeasure, “Shame on her if she gets mad. Don’t worry, if she ever gets to know the truth, I will take the blame! I am not afraid of offending her. She sold me out before and this is the time for me to take revenge.”

Shangguan Ning would not have done this in the past, because she did not want to force Zhao Anan. What was more, outsiders had no say in anyone’s relationship.

But Shangguan Ning had been feeling quite guilty since the time Zhao Anan went missing last time.

She would not have gone missing, if Shangguan Ning had pushed Zhao Anan towards Mu Qing irrespective of Zhao Anan’s feelings.

She and Zhao Anan had a deep relationship, so even if she got mad, it would be ok. Soon she would forget being tricked.

Seeing Zhao Anan and Mu Qing’s relationship stay stagnant, Shangguan Ning was very worried. So she put forward the countermeasures but Mu Qing disapproved of the idea.

Damn! Mu Qing spoiled Zhao Anan way too much. He did not want Zhao Anan to go through any discomfort. No wonder Zhao Anan was dominating him.

Mu Qing explained instantly realising that Shangguan Ning was getting unhappy. “That’s not what I meant, Sister-in-law! You are doing all of this for our sake. You must not take the blame. I am very grateful to you, really!”

Shangguan Ning chuckled inside her heart but stayed serious on the face. She interrupted Mu Qing and said, “Alright, if you are grateful to me, then we will put the plan in action, now. You must not tell Anan anything but focus on your performance. I know her well, and even if this trick is a bit bad, it would work well on her. Maybe you will get her to become your wife within two months’ time.”

“Ah… Sister-in-law, please, I can not…”

Before Mu Qing finished the words, the phone was disconnected. He grimaced.

Shangguan Ning never hung up on anyone. That she did it to him this time meant that he had no chance to turn her down.

What was he supposed to do? If Zhao Anan got to know the truth, she was definitely going to kill him.

On the other side, Shangguan Ning kissed Jing Rui after she hung up the phone. Then she laughed. “Ruirui, let’s go and set your aunt up. Soon you will have Uncle Mu Qing added to the family. Is your mother smart? Haha!”

Jing Rui stared at his mother with his large, black eyes and responded with a small yes just to please her.
