Chapter 1: The Beautiful Boss Returns to the Country

East Sea.

The spring breeze of February was long overdue, leaving the air still chilly and biting.

Qin Yu got up at six in the morning and braved the cold wind to make several food deliveries before rushing to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

He was marrying Old Man Yang's granddaughter.

Half a month earlier, Old Man Yang had fallen at the side of the road. There were many onlookers, but no one dared to help him up.

Only the deliveryman, Qin Yu, lent a hand.

Thereafter, Old Man Yang called him daily, brainwashing him to marry his granddaughter, who had difficulties finding a husband.

Qin Yu, just betrayed by his girlfriend and hurt by the affair, impulsively agreed to marry her.

Soon afterwards.

A taxi stopped in front of Qin Yu, out of which stepped a woman clad in a long down coat, wearing black-framed glasses, and wrapped up tightly.

Her face was covered with quite a few freckles, looking very ordinary.

The only standout feature was her height.

"Let's go!"

The woman spared a glance at Qin Yu, dressed in his yellow deliveryman's uniform, and said sparingly.

"Okay!"

Qin Yu knew his own worth, a deliveryman who left a small town for the big city to survive, he really had no grounds to be picky.

Following the woman, he entered the doors of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Perhaps because of the cold weather, they were the only couple at the bureau. In less than ten minutes, they got their marriage certificate.

He also learned her name, Yang Xue.

"Grandpa asked me to marry you, so I married you. I might be very busy for the next while, I'll contact you when I'm free!"

Yang Xue said indifferently, then got into a taxi on the roadside.

"Heh..."

Qin Yu gave a bitter laugh.

Indeed, a woman who would impulsively marry a stranger must have long lost any expectations of marriage.

Even getting the certificate was just a formality to her.

After that.

Yang Xue never appeared again.

But Old Man Yang, seeing Qin Yu working hard delivering in wind and rain, introduced him to Four Seas Corporation to become a security guard.

The benefits were quite good; Qin Yu cherished the job and hoped to keep it for several more years.

To repay the debt incurred by his ex-girlfriend sooner.

In the blink of an eye.

It was February again.

A whole year had passed.

"I've got an easy job for you, go pick up President Yan at the airport with Little Chen!"

That day, just as Qin Yu started his shift, his supervisor threw a set of car keys at him.

"Okay, I'm on it!"

Qin Yu and Chen Bin drove the Buick business car and quickly arrived at the airport.

After standing for less than ten minutes, Chen Bin started to complain about the cold and wanted to get back into the car for the air conditioning.

Only Qin Yu stood at attention, holding up the "Four Seas Corporation" sign high, to ensure the lady boss could see him immediately upon exit.

"Pfft, why bother trying to impress? President Yan is already married; what would she see in some stinking security guard?"

"Bang!"

Chen Bin sneered and said sarcastically before closing the car door.

"Heh..."

Qin Yu offered a faint smile.

How could he possibly harbor unrealistic fantasies about the company's female boss? He was just trying to do his job as best he could.

So as to avoid any mistakes that could cost him his livelihood, as finding another job as good as this one would be difficult.

An hour later...

Finally, a tall figure in a black trench coat, pulling a suitcase, emerged from the terminal.

She looked to be in her late twenties.

Her demeanor was cold and commanding, clearly someone accustomed to power.

She glanced at the sign above Qin Yu's head and walked over with long, confident strides.

A powerful aura, a face of dominating beauty.

Many people stopped in their tracks to look sideways, the double takes were off the charts!

"President Yan!"

Qin Yu put down his sign, intending to help the female boss with her luggage, but as soon as he took a step, he went down on one knee.

"Are... are you feeling unwell?"

The female boss frowned slightly and looked at the dark-faced Qin Yu.

"No... my leg... It's a bit numb!"

Qin Yu stammered.

Anyone standing in the cold wind for an hour would experience numb legs.

"Drama king!"

Chen Bin muttered under his breath before pushing open the car door, nodding, and bowing repeatedly, "President Yan, the heater is already on, please!"

"Be careful when moving the boxes!"

The female boss spoke indifferently and then got into the car.

After returning to the company,

Chen Bin shared the embarrassing story of Qin Yu's kneeling with other colleagues.

Everyone laughed their heads off, saying that Qin Yu was delusional, a toad lusting after a swan's flesh.

Qin Yu didn't retort; the innocent cling to their innocence. He just wanted to work hard, earn money, and pay off debts.

"@Everyone: All A-level security guards, come to President Yan's office. She wants to pick a driver, doubling as a security assistant!"

A vice president made the announcement in the security department's WeChat group.

The security guards at Four Seas Corporation were assessed once a month.

Qin Yu, ever diligent in his work, was naturally "A" level.

"Qin Yu, perform well; as soon as you walk in, get down on your knees for President Yan! Ha ha..."

Chen Bin, still "B" level after five or six years, put down his phone with a sour tone.

Qin Yu paid him no mind and, along with a dozen other A-level security guards, followed the female secretary to the female boss's spacious and bright office.

"President Yan, everyone is here!"

The female secretary relayed this to the boss, who was admiring the view from the window, and then stepped aside.

"Who would like to introduce themselves first?"

The female boss turned around, her aloof aura giving an invisible pressure.

The company was in turmoil, and she had been asked to rush back from abroad in a time of crisis. Not daring to trust outsiders, she could only choose a driver and bodyguard from the company's outstanding security guards.

"Zhao Jun, retired from the provincial team, former Sanda champion!"

A tall A-level security guard stood with his chest puffed out, eyes fervent as he gazed at the female boss.

After returning to the company, she changed into a beige professional suit, outlining her full, proud curves, appearing mature, noble, graceful, and captivating.

"Next!"

Zhao Jun's heated gaze caused the female boss to slightly furrow her brows.

"Tang Hu, graduated from a martial arts school, proficient in Bajiquan and Tongbei!"

Another tall young man stepped forward.

However, his voice was tinged with a slight nervousness. The female boss's piercing gaze made one feel as if they were undressed before her.

"Next!"

The female boss still shook her head.

"Qin Yu, retired reconnaissance soldier after five years. Took first place in the regional combat competition!"

Qin Yu stood with his hands along the seams of his trousers, maintaining a perfect military posture, his eyes clear, voice resonant.

He too hoped to be chosen and earn a higher salary.

To settle that matter sooner and be debt-free.

"Qin Yu?"

The female boss's vivid eyes revealed a trace of confusion.

A year ago, she had intentionally "uglified" herself to marry a delivery man.

She vaguely remembered that his name was Qin Yu.

However, the memory was too vague; she couldn't clearly recall her "husband's" face.

As for Qin Yu, he would never associate the fair-skinned, unapproachable female boss before him with his legally registered wife.

That's because Yang Xue was the Yan Family's only daughter and came from a major family.

In her upbringing, she couldn't avoid hidden conflicts and open battles.

Thus, she had two names.

Now that she had returned to the country and taken over the company's reins, she'd reverted to her original name.

Yan Mingyu!
