Chapter 15 It's Just Denial Until Death!

• Gu Nai woke up and yawned.
• She had slept hastily last night and didn't even bother to put on any clothes, so she woke up feeling cold.
• But what made Gu Nai shiver even more was Qin Yanzheng's gaze!
• How did Qin Yanzheng end up in her study? When did he come?
• Gu Nai, who had just woken up, rubbed her eyes and looked at Qin Yanzheng.
• Qin Yanzheng had taken out the sketch from Gu Huan's arm and asked, "Did you draw this sketch?"
• Gu Nai, who had just woken up, was startled by Qin Yanzheng's words.
• She looked at the sketch in Qin Yanzheng's hand and quickly took it, saying, "Of course I drew it!"
• Qin Yanzheng let Gu Nai take the sketch and locked his ink-black eyes on her, his thin lips slightly lifted. "Is that so? Does Mrs. Qin have such great design inspiration?"
• At first glance, the necklace on the sketch looked the same as the one dropped by the woman that night, but upon closer inspection, there were differences.
• Qin Yanzheng's face turned cold, and he scrutinized Gu Huan from head to toe several times.
• If it was just a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.
• Gu Nai could feel the change in Qin Yanzheng's aura and felt inexplicably confused.
• "What do you want to say?" Gu Nai became unhappy.
• Qin Yanzheng's tone made it sound like she had plagiarized someone else's idea.
• Although she had referenced the bracelet left by her mother, she had added many of her own original elements. Why did Qin Yanzheng have the right to dismiss all her efforts with just a few words?
• Qin Yanzheng had ruined Gu Nai's good mood for the day!
• "They say you have no talent, but I didn't expect you to be able to design. This sketch must have cost a lot of money, right?"
• Gu Huan had previously hired a famous master at great expense to help her with the selection process. This time was probably no different.
• Gu Nai's hard work in designing the sketch was belittled by Qin Yanzheng, and she felt a surge of anger in her chest!
• She rarely showed her anger so blatantly.
• "Qin Yanzheng, not everyone is as despicable as you imagine!" She was upright and honest, and her work, which was designed based on her own abilities, should not be tarnished by others!
• Qin Yanzheng was no exception!
• Seeing Gu Huan's determined appearance, Qin Yanzheng remained silent.
• He didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world!
• If it was really just a coincidence, where did Gu Huan get the reference material from? Gu Huan should be able to give him an answer, right?
• "Mr. Qin, you are so outstanding that you can dismiss a meticulously designed work with just a few words, but you can't trample on someone who is trying to prove themselves!"
• When Gu Nai first studied design, Gu Jianfeng and the others strongly opposed it, thinking that it would be more cost-effective for her to get married instead of continuing her studies.
• She had overcome so much pressure to get to where she was today. Why should she be belittled by Qin Yanzheng?
• Yes! Qin Yanzheng had no right to judge her abilities!
• Gu Nai was also angry. She put the sketch down and got up to leave.
• She didn't even have time to ask Qin Yanzheng why he had come up here. It wasn't until Gu Nai went downstairs and Qin Yanzheng followed a few minutes later that Qin Lao Madam saw the gloomy expressions on both of their faces and felt puzzled.
• Didn't she ask Qin Yanzheng to call Gu Huan for dinner? Why did the two of them have such expressions...
• After having dinner, Qin Yanzheng went straight to the company. After getting in the car, he received a message from his assistant, saying that the design competition at S University would start soon and he needed to attend.
• "Is there any news from the inn?" Qin Yanzheng asked.
• The assistant hesitated and scratched his head apologetically. "Fourth Young Master, we have sent more people to look for it. We will definitely inform you as soon as we have any news!"
• Something that made Qin Yanzheng so concerned must be completed!
• After searching for so long, they still hadn't found the whereabouts of the woman from that night, and Qin Yanzheng's mood suddenly turned sour.
• The car slowly drove on the smooth asphalt road, and Qin Yanzheng took out a bracelet from the pocket of his suit.
• The bracelet was made of crystal and carved into the shape of a vine.
• Qin Yanzheng picked it up and looked at it in the sunlight.
• At the end of the bracelet, he saw two English initials - GN.
• ...
• On the other hand, Gu Jianfeng still hadn't received the money. He had called Gu Nai several times, but she didn't answer, which made Gu Jianfeng so angry that his beard almost curled up. He almost wanted to go to Gu Nai's school to confront her!
• "Xiao Nai, do you have any ideas for that design sketch? I suddenly feel that this year's theme is so difficult, I can't think of any good ideas." Gu Nai's best friend, Jiang An'an, complained during lunch.
• As fellow students majoring in design, she was not as talented as Gu Nai.
• Gu Nai was beautiful and good at studying, making her envy her.
• Gu Nai must have already had ideas for this competition.
• "Ah, I can't do it. Compared to you geniuses, I'm just a nobody!" Jiang An'an was already prepared to give up.
• After all, with Gu Nai overshadowing her, she didn't have much chance to shine.
• Gu Nai looked at Jiang An'an helplessly.
• "But it's important to participate. After all, accumulating experience is helpful for future careers!" Jiang An'an always found a way to justify things and always remained optimistic.
• "By the way, Xiao Nai, are you still living in your own house? Can I come to your place today?" Jiang An'an quickly changed the topic.
• Gu Nai's face stiffened for a moment, and her hands anxiously twisted together.
• But Jiang An'an didn't notice this small movement.
• "I, I can't tonight." Gu Nai quickly refused.
• Now that she was married to Qin Yanzheng and living in the Qin family, if Jiang An'an came with her, wouldn't her substitute marriage be exposed?
• It was a matter of face for both the Gu family and the Qin family. Gu Nai absolutely couldn't let this happen!
• Jiang An'an disappointedly said, "Oh, okay." She didn't pay much attention.
• Because Gu Nai had slept in the study last night, she caught a cold. After school, she was afraid of infecting the Qin family, so she went back to her own room. She even had dinner in the study.
• That night, Gu Huan hadn't returned yet, but Qin Yanzheng had unusually come home early.
• In the living room, Qin Lao Madam and Qin Ke sat.
• "I heard that Xiao Huan caught a cold. Go check on her later and give her some medicine to help her recover faster," Qin Lao Madam instructed before getting up and returning to her room.
