Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 341: So Quick to Act?!

But instead of going home immediately, Su Xinyue headed to a public phone booth. Biting her lip tightly, she contemplated for a while before finally dialing a number.

After three rings, the call was answered. The man’s cold, calm voice came through the line.

Su Xinyue didn’t speak right away; instead, she began to cry softly.

There was a brief pause on the other end before the sound of a door closing was heard. Then the man picked up the phone again, speaking urgently, "Xinyue, what’s wrong? Is someone bullying you? Tell me, and I’ll help you."

Su Xinyue seized the opportunity to recount how Su Yijia and Qin Kaize had bullied her earlier, and how Qin Mingchen had been mistreating her recently.

The man on the other end was silent for a moment. After a while, he asked, "With everything going on, you still want to stay with that useless Qin Mingchen?"

"But what else can I do? I’m already married to him, and my sister won’t let us separate. She’s very strict, and if I don’t comply, she’ll never let me off," Su Xinyue replied, her voice filled with both grievance and frustration.

"You just need to tell me if you want to leave Qin Mingchen," the man’s tone became much harsher.

"I... I don’t want a divorce. I don’t want people to point fingers at me behind my back," Su Xinyue cried, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls. Her distress was palpable even over the phone.

The man sighed heavily, sounding resigned. "Alright, you don’t need to worry about it anymore. I’ll take care of it."

"What are you planning to do? Don’t do anything foolish for me!" Su Xinyue feigned nervousness.

The man on the other end felt reassured by her concern. "It’s just some minor issues," he said with a light chuckle. "Since you’re injured, stay in the hospital and rest. Don’t go home tonight. I’m quite busy today, so I won’t be able to visit, but I’ll come by tomorrow evening."

Su Xinyue’s lowered eyelashes trembled slightly. "Alright, I’ll stay in the hospital then."

After hanging up, Su Xinyue paid the fee for the public phone and turned with a satisfied smile. She went back to the hospital, her mind racing with plans.

Little did she know that as soon as she left, someone rushed to the public phone, inquired about the number she had called, and quickly left.

Su Yijia and Qin Kaize had been out for a month. Although some matters in Hu City were being handled, there was a difference between discussing things over the phone and in person.

They had met with Qiu Yanqing to discuss the sales of their products over the past month. Qiu Yanqing was thrilled, and so were his subordinates. Su Yijia learned that Qiu Yanqing had already made deals with several black market traders, who would also distribute Whitening Lotion and Hair Growth Solution. With their capacity, they could handle tens of thousands of bottles.

Su Yijia had acquired a distiller, which would increase production. Even if there weren’t enough people at the moment, it didn’t matter. By building a good reputation early on, they could eventually hire staff for their business, and production would naturally increase.

After discussing business, they had dinner with Qin Kaize’s friends, who were thrilled to see his recovery. The dinner lasted three to four hours due to their excitement.

Even with such a packed schedule, Qin Kaize didn’t neglect his space farming. By the time they finished showering and went to bed, it was almost midnight. Qin Kaize’s deep eyes glowed with a faint green light in the darkness. As he was about to do something, he heard the soft, rhythmic breathing of the girl beside him. He looked at her with tenderness, unwilling to disturb her rest. Instead, he gently kissed her and held her close, suppressing his own desires.

In her sleep, Su Yijia felt as though she had been thrown into a furnace. She struggled to free herself but found it impossible, so she fell into a deep sleep.

However, just three hours later, they were disturbed by the sound of someone climbing over the wall. Qin Kaize quickly dressed and helped Su Yijia put on her clothes and bracelet before going outside.

At the bottom of the stairs, he saw two men waiting in the yard.

"Boss!" they called out hurriedly.

Su Yijia and Qin Kaize’s tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Why are you here so late?" Qin Kaize frowned.

One of the men quickly pulled out a stack of photos and a letter from his bag. The photos clearly documented Su Xinyue leaving the hospital, making a phone call, and the exact time, as well as a man knocking on Qin Mingchen’s door at ten-thirty at night. The man’s visit lasted about ten minutes.

"Is this the man Su Xinyue was seeing outside?" Qin Kaize asked, frowning deeply as he took the photos from Su Yijia. His face darkened, giving off an oppressive aura.

He had to admit that this man was quite attractive and much better than Qin Mingchen. He appeared not only refined but also had an aura of someone in a high position, which was particularly appealing to young women.

"That’s one of them," the man explained.

"What about the photo of the other one?" Su Yijia asked, curious.

The man hesitated, feeling a piercing gaze from Qin Kaize. He quickly retracted his hand.

"Sorry, I didn’t bring the previous photos. These are just developed today," he said awkwardly.

Su Yijia knew he must have the photos, but seeing Qin Kaize’s dark expression, she decided to set aside her curiosity about the other men in the story.

"I’m just curious if this man is the same as the one we saw on the street last time," Su Yijia whispered, tugging on Qin Kaize’s sleeve.

Although Qin Kaize’s posture relaxed slightly, his face remained grim.
