Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 287 - 286: Mooncakes for Qiao Minde

"Mooncakes?" Qiao Minde had heard of this but he never tasted it. He didn’t understand why people had to eat and handmake mooncakes on every autumn. Wasn’t that troublesome?

"You never eaten mooncakes?!" Qin Zhuzhu was surprised. How did this man grow up then? Did he live in a cave?

"Never tasted it before," he replied.

"Then you are missing out! Mooncakes are so soft, round, delicious. They have various stuffings in them! You can choose what flavour you like. I love egg yolk and red bean mochi mooncakes!" Qin Zhuzhu checked her watch and saw that the time was late. "Why don’t I make you some mooncakes and send them over to you?"

"Why would you do that?" Qiao Minde’s face was devoid of any emotions as he spoke to the cheerful girl next to him.

"Well, I like making friends. Why don’t we be friends?" She tilted her head to one side.

"Friends?" That word sounded foreign coming from his lips.

"Don’t tell me that you don’t have friends?" Qin Zhuzhu really was stunned by this person. Haven’t eaten mooncakes, no friends and sitting here all alone, all these symptoms matched that of one type of person - a suicidal person.

Is he going to kill himself? Hmm.... Looking at his clothes, he looked like a rich man with enough money. So it couldn’t be money that made him depressed. It must be love! He must be dying from a broken heart!

At first when she saw him again, Qin Zhuzhu thought of avoiding him. But then she saw that he looked lonely and something wasn’t right, she decided to butt in. After learning how foolish she was when she tried to kill herself back at the hospital, she knew how to treasure life and not give up.

Ai, she can’t let someone just commit suicide in front of her. Not on her watch!

"How can you make friends with a stranger? You’re not afraid of the danger?" Qiao Minde said, gazing at the girl.

Qin Zhuzhu smiled and looked up at the tree.

"I have martial arts, so I can protect myself. Besides, I’m not afraid. Even if you are a bad guy, as long as you don’t hurt anyone I care for, I am willing to make friends with you!"

Qiao Minde: "..."

"Uh... Let’s add each other on WeChat! On Mid autumn festival, you can give me your address and I’ll come over! Anyway I have no family, just my mom. So you don’t need to worry about me being away from my family," Qin Zhuzhu took out her phone and offered her QR code to him.

Now, why would he worry that? Was this girl getting the wrong idea?

Nevertheless, Qiao Minde scanned her QR code and added her as friends, seeing no harm in it.

"Great! I’m going to Paris tomorrow! Don’t try anything funny and wait till I get back! Okay?"

Anything funny? What did she meant? Qiao Minde narrowed his eyes..

From what she knows, suicidal people tend to think that no one wants them, that the whole world is against them or that nothing is holding them back, so even if they left the world, it’ll be peaceful. These type of people may feel confused or scared, often overwhelmed by the difficulties and pressure of life, that they are redudant or useless. Qin Zhuzhu wanted him to feel that there is some hope, to wait for her to come back, that there is still someone in this world who cares and is willing to talk to him.

"Hmm," Qiao Minde nodded.

"Then I’ll see you later! Bye!" The girl’s smiles were like the sunlight that broke through his dark gloomy world, radiating and spreading warmth.

He watched the girl ran off to catch a taxi. Then he picked up a leave by his foot, and held it up under the sunlight.

Many minutes later....

Qiao Nian and Shentu Chu were walking in the park when they spotted Qiao Minde. Qiao Nian saw the way her brother glared at Shentu Chu.

Oh no!

"Brother...." Qiao Nian quickly pulled her hand away from Shentu Chu’s and looked at the ground. She was afraid that he might do something to Shentu Chu.

"Are you stalking us? You looked pale and lonely as if you had seen King Yan!" Shentu Chu exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" Qiao Minde leaned against his red sportscar.

"Don’t you know? You looked like someone who wants to commit suicide!" Shentu Chu said.

Qiao Minde: "....?"

He finally understood what that girl was thinking.

Qin Zhuzhu kept the leaves inside a small container as she returned to the office. Since she promised, then she will make a note to make extra mooncakes for mid autumn festival.

Li Shao was waiting for lunch break to be over before he called his assistant to announce the names of people who were going to Paris. "Qin Zhuzhu, Mo Su, Tong Meng, Li Yuanyi, Bei Zixi,....."

The names of the people had to be carefully selected by him and the board of directors.

Bai Qianhua waited eagerly to hear her name, sitting on the edge of her seat. Unfortunately at the end of the list, she didn’t hear her name at all! Her face dropped.

Her name wasn’t even on the list! How is that possible? That bitch Qin Zhuzhu was lucky! Bai Qianhua could not mask her displeasure, got up and left.

Jingmin made a face at her back. Hmph, did she think that she was so great?

In the restroom.

Bai Qianhua was trembling angrily as she shoved everything off the sink. The items dropped to the floor with a loud clatter.

"Qin Zhuzhu! Just wait till I rise to the top! Then your happy days are over! I won’t let you get what I can’t have!"

"I’ll be waiting, Miss Bai,"

"What? Ah!! You.... Qin Zhuzhu!" Bai Qianhua spun around, shocked and frightened by the voice that suddenly appeared behind her.

Qin Zhuzhu stood behind her, a smile on her lips.
