Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 858 - 832: True and False, False and True

"You might as well dock my pay... I’m just a psychology slacker! Even the top students get annoyed by you and leave, why don’t you go test them!"

"Do I even need to test her?"

Thinking about the competition in a few days, Qio Yu Xuan showed a knowing smile.

He would get to see Qian’s excellent performance again. He really does enjoy competitions.

"A few years ago, the international competition made me aware of her existence. Now, another competition gives us the chance to interact up close. I am really looking forward to it."

"What are you talking about?" Aka couldn’t understand.

"Slip of the tongue."

"Oh... Boss, so you can make a slip of the tongue too."

"I’ll dock you three days of pay!"

"Why!!" This was a bolt from the blue!

"I was just asking you about Freud’s core concepts! How could you not think it through! Freud said there’s no such thing as a slip of the tongue; all slips of the tongue are truly expressions of the subconscious! You’ve studied psychology for several years. Back when Qian was a freshman, you were also a freshman. Now, Qian is about to graduate with a master’s degree, and you’re still failing courses! If you can’t even figure out Freud, do you think it’s unfair to dock your pay?"

"I was hoping to use my paycheck to treat Qian to something nice, but go ahead, dock away, leave me with nothing." Aka didn’t want to bother with him anymore; the boss was the worst kind of person.

"Do you want to have dinner with her?"

"If you don’t dock my hard-earned money, I intended to treat her to a big meal. After all, this whole ordeal is like the saying ’no fight, no acquaintance.’ She’s the first friend I’ve made."

"Alright, I won’t dock your pay. Treat her to something nice."

"Got it, boss, why are you so nice to Qian?"

The boss has three treasures: dock pay, dock points, and be good to Qian! It’s obvious that praising Qian would make the boss more lenient.

"She’s my daughter lost in the outside world."

"Ah!!!" Aka was dumbfounded.

Qio Yu Xuan grinned, "I’m kidding."

Aka patted his chest in shock, "You scared me to death! That joke wasn’t funny at all. How could Qian possibly have a monster like you as her dad?"

"Who’s a monster?" Qio Yu Xuan paused while reaching for money, and Aka quickly played dumb with a wide grin.

"I’m the monster, I’m the biggest monster~"

Taking the money that Qio Yu Xuan handed over, Aka beamed with joy.

"I’m leaving now, boss~ Don’t make such terrible jokes in the future!"

After Aka walked far away, Qio Yu Xuan reined in his smile and looked in the direction where Qian had left, speaking softly.

"That guy, Aka, always failing courses isn’t without reason. Freud also said there’s no such thing as a joke; all jokes contain a serious element."

Freud’s golden phrases are way too many, how could Aka, a slacker, memorize them all?

But the girl who memorized them all, she still hates him now. Thinking about Qian, Qio Yu Xuan’s mood brightened again, as glorious as the current sunshine.

The world only has color with her in it.

Go back and check, there should be someone backing up that teacher’s brother who’s trying to mess with his Qian. No one believed a businessman would suddenly remember a petty grudge after so many years.

But Qian’s confident expression still stopped Mr. Qio from taking any action. He was really looking forward to Qian’s further performance.

"Thank heaven, thank earth, thank destiny for allowing us to meet~" Qio Yu Xuan hummed a tune from the TV show Huan Zhu Ge Ge.

The boyfriend of a couple of students passing by unobtrusively pulled his girlfriend a bit to the side, thinking this guy looked somewhat mentally unstable and they should steer clear...

Qian drove home, still simmering.

Although she had gone through a lot today, what irritated her more was that the boss of Aka was actually Mr. Qio!

And as for this Mr. Qio, who had frequently come close to her before, what was his true intention?

No matter his motive, Qian was deeply annoyed. For the first time, her proud intellect was comprehensively outmatched. This guy had been circling her for so long, and she didn’t even notice!

What’s more frustrating is, she still doesn’t know Qio Yu Xuan’s real intention for approaching her. The look of nonchalance on his face said he wasn’t planning on revealing it.

It’s truly exasperating.

Has her charm grown so great that even mature men fall for her?

Qian shivered at the thought. Although she didn’t know Qio Yu Xuan’s exact age, judging by how he referred to Mr. Liu as "little Liu," he must not be young anymore. Although he maintained his looks to resemble someone just over thirty, thinking about Mr. Liu mentioning he’d experienced a special era, it made Qian roughly the same age as her mother.

Absolutely disgusting!

When a man goes all out to flatter a woman, it’s hard for Qian not to think about romantic feelings, but how was she supposed to know that things weren’t as she imagined.

But regardless, Qio Yu Xuan knew too much about her affairs, like how he immediately pointed out that it was her class teacher’s brother pulling tricks in the background.

What enraged Qian the most was Qio Yu Xuan saying she was too kind-hearted and didn’t know how to go all the way. She had to prove to him that everyone has their path in medicine, and she doesn’t need anyone’s interference.

Even the global authority can’t!

For a busy man, what’s the happiest thing in the world?

It’s the glorious moment of clinching a deal in business and coming home to find the warmth of a lively household.

When Yu Minglang returned home and opened the door to find Qian sitting by the bay window eating instant noodles, he genuinely felt this was his happiest moment.

"You’re back."

The excitement in her eyes could light up the dark sky behind her.

It was already past 8 o’clock, and she thought he wouldn’t make it back today. Seeing him was like winning a prize.

"Why are you eating that?" Yu Minglang walked over, took the instant noodle cup from her hand, and casually tossed it into the trash.

"No big deal, I just had a craving."

In fact, she wanted to take him out to celebrate his victory once he got back, but after waiting and not seeing him return, she made herself a cup of noodles.

"I’ll change clothes, then take you out to eat." He had been busy all day, yet didn’t show a trace of fatigue. It’s unclear whether his vitality was due to high energy or seeing the woman waiting for him at home recharged him.

Strictly speaking, this was their official first day after moving, even though they had spent nights here before and Qian had been staying here alone for a while, it’s different now that he’s back.

"In the future, if I’m not back by 6:30, don’t wait up for me. Eating irregularly can upset your stomach. I’ll ask someone to find a reliable housekeeper by the hour so you won’t need to go out when you’re hungry if I’m not home."

As Yu Minglang spoke, he changed out of his clothes, and Qian hung his coat on the rack, giving his bare-chested frame a more homely feel.
