Chapter 280 - Familiar Username (1/2)

Back in Capital City…

Han Yue Xiu sat down on the swiveling computer while watching her coworker, no—her employee, Brother Fu showing her something on the dark web forum on his ŀȧptop. A frown appeared on her face as she looked at the requests posted on the forum. As Brother Fu scrolled down the page, Han Yue Xiu's eyes picked up a familiar username on the screen.

”Han Yue Xiu.”

Just before she could ask Brother Fu to pause, someone called out her name. When she turned around, Han Yue Xiu saw Song Yi's figure standing not at the entrance, carrying a pastel pink box in his hand.

”Someone sent this to you.”

Han Yue Xiu pointed her forefinger to her ċhėst. ”For me?” A look of confusion appeared on her face. She was sure that she was not expecting any parcel… She walked over to Song Yi and saw the displeased look on his face. When she peered at the pastel pink box, Han Yue Xiu was surprised upon seeing that there were various small pastries inside.

She took the box from Song Yi and picked up the small card attached to the box.

There were not many things written on the card, except for the name of the sender: Zhang Yu Han. The frown on her face deepened as she started to wonder why on earth would this man send her a box of pastries?

And it was not just any ordinary pastries. These were Chef Qin's specialty creations!

Han Yue Xiu took the box back into her office and picked up her phone to dialed her friend's number. It did not take too long for the phone call was connected.

”Han Yue Xiu, what is?” It was rare for her friend to contact her during office hours. Therefore, Li Qin Yao was curious.

”Yao Yao, why did your husband send me a box of pastries from his hotel?”

Li Qin Yao was momentarily dumbfounded upon hearing Han Yue Xiu's question. Her thought went back to what happened last weekend and suddenly her face turned bright red.

At the thought of what Zhang Yu Han had done to her that night, Li Qin Yao was still angry. To think that he would torment her the whole night just because she was wearing that unusual outfit.

Fortunately, she had thrown away that outfit into the bin the next morning.

Previously, she had told Zhang Yu Han that it was a gift from Han Yue Xiu. Now that the outfit had benefited him, of course, Zhang Yu Han would send those pastries to Han Yue Xiu as a return gift.

Of course, Li Qin Yao was not going to tell Han Yue Xiu about it lest she'll have to hear her friend's endless teasing. Whatever happened in that bedroom should only stay in the bedroom.

”Did you ask him to send this to me?” Han Yue Xiu added when her friend did not answer. ”Hey, Yao Yao, if you don't say anything should I just throw this away? Maybe someone sent this over to poison me, right?”

”You can eat them,” Li Qin Yao spoke after a long silence. ”It's not poisonous. Anyway,” she let out a dry cough. ”It was really sent by my husband. Chef Qin doesn't usually let his pastries to be ordered as takeout.”

Hearing her words, Han Yue Xiu opened the box and pick at one of the small cake with mango on top of it. She took a small bite at the cake and sighed. ”Okay. But why did you guys sent this box to me?”

”Just take it that I asked him to send you a box to brightened up your days,” Li Qin Yao said. ”Don't ask too much and just enjoy those cakes, alright?”

”Oh.” At this time, Han Yue Xiu was no longer interested to know why the couple had sent her the box of pastries.

When Han Yue Xiu looked up from her computer again, it was already late. At the thought that almost everyone had clocked out, Han Yue Xiu opened her web browser and tried to get into the forum that Brother Fu had shown her earlier. She could not stop thinking about that familiar username on that forum and was dying to know if she had seen it right.

Just as she was about to access the forum, her computer screen suddenly black. Han Yue Xiu lifted her head in confusion, then she began to scan at the machine, wondering what was going on.
