21 Drunkard Boss Qin

Qin Zhan chuckled upon hearing her question. "I'm a native."

Gu Xin Ye tilted her head as she hid her expression. She had read Qin Zhan's profile before and was sure that this man was not a native of Z Town. In fact, she had read them many times and Gu Xin Ye believed that she can recite Qin Zhan's profile well.

He was born in Capital City and lived with his parents until the age of ten. Then, his parents passed away and he was sent to an orphanage. Once he was old enough, Qin Zhan left the orphanage and started to work at a construction site to make money. Once he had enough, Qin Zhan signed up for a pastry school and learned to make all sorts of delicious pastries and cakes.

There was no mention of Z Town in his profile.

Unless if the report she saw was not accurate.

Did someone tamper with Qin Zhan's profile?

As the thought came to her mind, Gu Xin Ye began to wonder why would anyone forge a document for Qin Zhan. It doesn't make any sense. Qin Zhan doesn't look as if he has something to hide.

Or did he?

A long exhale escaped her.

Gu Xin Ye quickly dispel that thought, thinking that she had perhaps gone insane after staying in Z Town as a dishwasher.

Qin Zhan continued to look at the girl in front of him and a strange smile curled on his lips. He took another swig from his drink and said, "Miss Gu, you seemed to be interested in me."

Gu Xin Ye lifted her head and met his gaze. Suddenly, she had a sense of deja vu. Not too long ago, Mrs. Li's son had asked her the same thing.

She only came to Z Town to know about Qin Zhan before she came come up with the ultimate move so that she can make Qin Zhan an offer that he could not refuse. How did everyone around her think that she was interested in Qin Zhan?

Why did she have the feeling that this will soon turn into a rumor and then, everyone in Z Town will be talking about this?

"Boss Qin, you must be mistaken. I was only trying to find a topic to talk about," Gu Xin Ye said. "After all, we are going to see each other a lot this month."

The two finally left the stall after Qin Zhan paid for the meals.

Qin Zhan took Gu Xin Ye around the place and the two go from stall to stall where Gu Xin Ye ate happily.

When they reached the end of the road, Gu Xin Ye found that her stomach was slightly bloated. Finding a convenience store, Gu Xin Ye bought some medicine that will help her with indigestion. When she came out again, Qin Zhan was waiting for her under the shady tree. In his hand was a can of beer.

She stood in front of the store for a while to observe Qin Zhan before she walked over to him.

Qin Zhan glanced at her and his gaze stopped at the bag of medicine in her hand. "Are you done?"

"Boss Qin, are you unhappy?"

Qin Zhan was about to take another mouthful of drink when he heard her question. His movement paused and Qin Zhan turned to Gu Xin Ye with a puzzled expression.

"It seemed that there was something in your mind," Gu Xin Ye pointed out. "Boss Qin, drinking too much is not good. Tomorrow, you still have to show up early in the morning and start making that broth."

Qin Zhan stared at her for a few seconds longer before he spoke. "Why are you so interested in that noodle stall?"

Gu Xin Ye was determined that this man in front of her was drunk. "I'm only interested in good food. Boss Qin, the beef noodle soup you made is the best that I have ever tasted."

There was a brief silence before Qin Zhan suddenly laughed. The glint in his eyes showed that he was a little happy with Gu Xin Ye's compliment. Suddenly, he raised his hand and patted at Gu Xin Ye's shoulders. "You're such a glutton."

The corner of her lips twitched. She really could not understand what was going on in this man's mind. Looking after a drunkard would be a problem.

"Alright, come on. Let's go to the main road. I'll help you to get a taxi," Gu Xin Ye said.

Qin Zhan narrowed his eyes at the woman in front of him "Miss Gu, aren't you supposed to be afraid of me?"

"I'm not afraid of a drunkard." Gu Xin Ye heaved a sigh. "Are you leaving or not? Or else, I will leave you here."

"So heartless." Qin Zhan clicked his tongue. He fished something from his pocket and took out his car key. "I have a car. Take it. Miss Gu, you drive me home. You have a driver's license, right? "

Gu Xin Ye stared at the car key but did not take them. "I don't know where you live."

"It's fine. You can take me to your B&B."

Her eyes went wide and Gu Xin Ye took a few steps back as she watched Qin Zhan suspiciously.

"What are you thinking about? I have no interest in a prim and proper woman." Qin Zhan snorted. "I just need you to drop me over at the B&B, then that idiot Jun Xuan will drive me home."

Gu Xin Ye immediately thought about Mrs. Li's son who seemed as if he had a problem with her every time they ran into each other. She reached to grab the car key from Qin Zhan and asked, "Then, where is your car?"

"At the hotel's basement parking."

Her mouth gaped when Gu Xin Ye heard his answer.

Chef Qin! Are you aware that they were far from the hotel? Earlier, it took them around ten minutes to walk from the hotel to the night market. It was fine if she had to walk alone, but with a drunkard beside her…

"Don't worry, I'm very sober. I can still walk back to the hotel without any problem."

Boss Qin! Only ghosts will be able to believe your words!
