Snatching Women from the Male Lead-Chapter 16: Love Bento

The room was filled with the sound of a woman's cries. fr𝚎𝗲𝐰ebnov𝐞𝐥.𝐜o𝗺

After Qin Zhao stated her identity as Nan Yue’s girlfriend, Shen Yixuan refused to believe her no matter what she said.

So Qin Zhao showed her the caring and gentle messages that Nan Yue had sent her, which included one that said, “Did my girlfriend sleep well last night?”

Although Qin Zhao really wanted to retort that it was awkward for a normal passionate couple to send messages like this, it succeeded in convincing Shen Yixuan that she and Nan Yue were indeed dating.

After that, Shen Yixuan started crying.

Qin Zhao tried to comfort Shen Yixuan in various ways, but nothing worked.

Qin Zhao asked the system helplessly, "What should I do?"

502 replied, "Why don't you give her a hug...

"Or a kiss?" Qin Zhao interjected!

"Host, pay attention to your identity. You already have a girlfriend!"

Seeing Shen Yixuan's tearful and grief-stricken face, along with her nation-destroying and people-harming appearance, Qin Zhao felt even more pity.

"If I didn't already have Nan Yue, I really would have wanted to hold her in my arms and comfort her properly."

502: "......"

The system kept criticizing her dangerous thoughts in Qin Zhao's mind, trying to eliminate them.

But Qin Zhao said, "I'm only making the mistake that all women in the world would make."

This scumbag remark was originally meant as a joke, but Shen Yixuan took it seriously!

Before Qin Zhao could react, Shen Yixuan had already hugged her, with tears staining her clothes.

Qin Zhao didn’t know if Shen Yixuan wanted to use her clothes to wipe away her tears, or if she really wanted to hug her.

"I just wanted to vent a little. Even if it wasn't you, it would be someone else. The one she loves will never be me," Shen Yixuan sobbed.

Curious, Qin Zhao asked, "Why? You're rich and beautiful. If you wanted to pursue someone, I don't think anyone in this world would reject you."

"Thank you, but I'm too timid. I don't dare," Shen Yixuan replied.

Qin Zhao suddenly remembered that Pei Fanzhi had said Shen Yixuan was a hardcore otaku.

And the most notable characteristic of this group was being a shut-in.

If Shen Yixuan was essentially an otaku girl, then everything made sense.

Home is a place that can give people a sense of security. Staying too long may make it hard to step out of one's comfort zone.

Looking at it objectively, Qin Zhao hoped that Shen Yixuan could go to broader places instead of missing out on people she liked again.

At the same time, she was very glad that Shen Yixuan had not taken that step. Shen Yixuan was undoubtedly a more competitive opponent than the male lead.

"Don't worry, I will love Nan Yue well," Qin Zhao said lightly as she patted Shen Yixuan's back, while also stating her uncompromising position.

Shen Yixuan cried again.

One was crying earnestly, the other comforting earnestly. Both ignored the sound of knocking on the door.

It wasn't until they heard the sound of something dropping that they looked up at the door.

The expressions of the four people were the same, all shocked with jaws slightly open and pupils constricted!

Pei Fanzhi did not expect to witness Shen Yixuan, who had been single her whole life, finally blossoming!

Although she felt a little strange inside.

A smile slowly appeared on Pei Fanzhi’s face.

Seeing no one speaking, she took the initiative, "Miss Nan said she was Qin Zhao's friend and also knew President Shen, so I brought her here."

Qin Zhao wanted to explain, but saw Nan Yue put away her slightly surprised expression and walk over to ask Shen Yixuan with concern, "Senior sister, why are you crying?"

She even considerately handed Shen Yixuan a handkerchief.

Shen Yixuan took it blankly. "You remember me?"

Nan Yue replied, "Of course. Senior sister, you were the goddess of many of our classmates. I often heard them talk about you. I couldn't forget you even if I wanted to."

The two schoolmates chatted happily. The tear stains on Shen Yixuan's face gradually dried up.

Qin Zhao standing on the side felt like a third wheel.

Nan Yue suddenly remembered Qin Zhao was also there, turned her head and said to her, "Thank you for comforting my senior sister."

Qin Zhao: ?!

She smiled awkwardly, "No need to thank me, President Shen is also my boss."

Things weren't supposed to go this way. Shouldn't Nan Yue be a little jealous and accuse her of touching other women indiscriminately?

This strange feeling did not last long. Qin Zhao soon realized that neither she nor Nan Yue loved each other at this moment.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed Shen Yixuan to cry and hug her, and Nan Yue would not have simply regarded the behavior between her and Shen Yixuan as normal comfort between friends.

After Shen Yixuan's emotions returned to normal, Qin Zhao asked, "Nan Yue, did you come to the company to see me for something?"

Nan Yue exclaimed softly, "My lunchbox!"

She looked at Qin Zhao, "Sorry, wait for me."

Nan Yue got up to find the thing she dropped.

Pei Fanzhi smiled and handed the food container to her, "Miss Nan, are you looking for this?"

Nan Yue took it. "Yes, thank you."

"You're welcome." Pei Fanzhi turned to Shen Yixuan, "President Shen, I won't disturb your reunion. I'm going to lunch first."

Shen Yixuan nodded, "Okay."

So it was noon already.

Nan Yue opened the lunchbox and said to Qin Zhao, "I came to bring you lunch, but it seems to be broken and can't be eaten anymore."

Qin Zhao got up to look at the contents of the lunchbox.

The fragrant lunchbox had ingredients of various colors carefully matched, looking very appetizing.

Only some soup had spilled, and the shaped food was a little smashed from the fall, but it was still edible if one didn't have too high standards for food presentation.

"But I want to eat it." Qin Zhao smiled at Nan Yue, "As long as you brought it, no matter what it looks like, I love to eat it."

Nan Yue's face reddened slightly, "Actually I made the lunchbox by hand, so I wanted you to try it."

By hand? Qin Zhao raised her eyebrows, her expression slightly doubtful.

Nan Yue understood her meaning and pouted, "You don't believe me?"

Qin Zhao shook her head. "It's just that after seeing the fried egg you made, my impression of your cooking skills is too deep."

"Hmph, I asked Auntie to teach me. Auntie even praised me for being smart and learning fast and cooking well!"

Qin Zhao exclaimed, "You've been learning to cook these days?!"

"Yes, that morning after seeing you unwilling to eat the fried egg I made, I secretly vowed that I must make food that you love to eat!"

"I'm sorry, I..."

"Cough cough!"

Shen Yixuan's light cough interrupted their confrontation.

She really couldn't stand to see them shamelessly flirting in front of her. Had they thought about how she felt as someone suffering from unrequited love?!

"Can you two go somewhere else to talk about your relationship? Don't torment me anymore. I've been single for thirty-one years." Shen Yixuan complained.

Just ordinary words caused Nan Yue's skin to turn red from head to toe. She stuttered, "S-Senior sister, you knew?"

Shen Yixuan glared at Qin Zhao. "I didn't want to know, but she insisted on telling me!"

Qin Zhao: "......"

The words were not wrong, but the way she put it was so strange!

To change the subject, Qin Zhao invited, "President Shen, let's go eat lunch together."

Shen Yixuan looked at the red-faced Nan Yue, then at Qin Zhao, and sighed lightly. She waved her hand, "You two go by yourselves. I don't want to be a light bulb or eat dog food."

After leaving Shen Yixuan's office, Nan Yue and Qin Zhao went to the company cafeteria together.

The cafeteria was past the lunch rush hour, so there weren't too many people. They casually found a window seat and sat down.

The two beauties sitting together attracted attention no matter how low-key they tried to be. Fortunately, Nan Yue was used to being watched by everyone, and Qin Zhao didn't care about other people's eyes.

Nan Yue had forgotten to put rice in the lunchbox, so Qin Zhao went to get two bowls of rice.

Then the two faced each other and started eating.

Qin Zhao put a piece of stir-fried pork with celery in her mouth and chewed it carefully.

Nan Yue closely watched Qin Zhao's reaction, afraid she would say it was unpalatable. She saw Qin Zhao frowning slightly and nervously asked, "What's wrong, is it not delicious?"

Qin Zhao looked up at Nan Yue with a frown then suddenly laughed, "Kidding, it's very delicious, especially delicious."

Hearing this, Nan Yue laughed too, "That's good if you like it."

Qin Zhao had already experienced that Nan Yue was trying very hard to be a decent girlfriend, but it still wasn't enough.

After half an hour, the meal was finished.

Qin Zhao used a napkin to wipe her mouth. Nan Yue across from her was also getting ready to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.

She suddenly spoke up, "Nan Yue, do you know how two women should get along when dating?"

Nan Yue hesitated and replied, "Not very...familiar with it."

Qin Zhao smiled. "Then let me teach you, okay?"

Nan Yue felt Qin Zhao's smile seemed to have some deeper meaning, but still slowly nodded her head.

Then affirmed, "Okay!"

Qin Zhao leaned in close to Nan Yue, their faces nearly touching as they breathed each other's breath.

Nan Yue could feel her cheeks growing hot from Qin Zhao's exhaled air on her skin!

Qin Zhao pointed at his own face and said, "Kiss me."
