Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 20 Physiognomy, Prophecy

Qin Yuhan gritted her teeth. This guy is going to be a bad influence on my baby, isn’t he?

"Baby, don’t learn from him, alright?" Qin Yuhan said to Gugu in a soft voice, then looked around and said coldly, "What are you all standing around for? Don’t you have work to do?"

Hearing her words, the employees who had wanted to watch the commotion were compelled by her usual icy demeanor and had no choice but to return to their posts.

Seeing this, Wu Tian nodded. It seems that aside from a few oddballs, no normal person dares to approach my wife.

"You few, take her to the hospital," Li Muge said to a couple of employees before shooting a covert, flirtatious wink at Wu Tian.

Wu Tian was speechless.

"Wu Tian, explain to me what exactly happened here," Qin Yuhan said, her cold gaze finally landing on him. Her eyes were beautiful, but now they were as frigid as daggers of ice.

I’m so furious! On his very first day at the Group, this bastard starts a fight and causes me trouble. Does he really think that just because we have the universe’s cutest baby together, he can be so reckless? This will set a terrible example for our daughter!

"I didn’t like the look of her," Wu Tian replied casually. Other people might be afraid of Qin Yuhan, but I’m not. Go ahead, fire me if you have the guts. Someone with my skills won’t have any trouble finding a new job.

"You..." He’s so nonchalant! He hit someone and looks completely pleased with himself. I really want to rush over and kick him!

"Wu Tian, tell me, why did you hit her?"

"She was asking for it," Wu Tian stated flatly.

Even so, Wu Tian couldn’t help but look at her. Even though her attitude sucks, I have to admit, a woman like her really awakens my desire to conquer.

Qin Yuhan immediately noticed his unruly gaze, and the chill in her beautiful eyes deepened. "Where are you looking?"

In response, Wu Tian’s eyes seemed to blaze with fire.

"Baby, you mustn’t do that." Qin Yuhan suddenly panicked. I’ve raised my daughter for so many years. How could her heart stray the moment this guy comes back?

Flustered, she glared at Wu Tian and snapped, "You! Come to my office."

She felt she was about to lose her composure and couldn’t let that happen out here. Clutching Gugu, she led Wu Tian to her office.

What is their relationship exactly? I’ve noticed something... Wu Tian’s daughter seems to have known Qin Yuhan for a while, and they have a good relationship. So what’s the connection between Qin Yuhan and Wu Tian? Li Muge fell into deep thought.

「Inside the office...」

Qin Yuhan finally managed to stop Gugu’s mischief.

"You don’t love me anymore," Gugu pouted, sulking on the sofa.

Wu Tian was speechless. Wow, I’m actually starting to feel jealous of my own daughter. The little one has all the luck.

Qin Yuhan’s face flushed red. I can’t believe Gugu just blurted that out... She then noticed that Wu Tian’s eyes seemed to light up.

"Ahem." Qin Yuhan cleared her throat and said sternly, "Tell me what really happened."

Wu Tian sneered. "That Wei Chunhua, she’s the type who loves to debase herself. You didn’t know?"

"You..."

Qin Yuhan was at a loss for words. Debase herself? Well... as the President, I do know a bit about Wei Chunhua’s character. But she is undeniably talented. Wei Chunhua can always manage to procure rare items that are difficult to find, even for a high price.

"So you already knew she has a bad character," Wu Tian said, looking directly into her eyes.

"You..." Qin Yuhan was shocked. How can he tell what I’m thinking?

Wu Tian continued, "What were you thinking, keeping such a despicable person in the company, and in a high position at that? Aren’t you afraid your subordinates will be unhappy?"

"Work is inherently tough. Such humiliation should be endured if possible."

"Wrong." Wu Tian shook his head, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Work requires enduring hardship, yes, but physical hardship, not the hardship of sacrificing one’s dignity."

"But..." Unwilling to be outdone in any way, Qin Yuhan refused to lose to him in terms of sheer presence. Just as she was about to say more, Wu Tian cut her off.

"Qin Yuhan, you need to understand something. Even the most powerful Group can’t make a profit without the hard work of its rank-and-file employees." He then carefully studied her facial features, as if reading her fortune.

He stepped forward and, before Qin Yuhan could react, grabbed her hand to look at her palm.

"Are they going to kiss?" Gugu, who had clearly watched too many TV dramas, squealed in excitement.

But Wu Tian did not do as she wished. Instead, he looked at Qin Yuhan seriously and said, "If a benefactor doesn’t appear, the Group you manage will see its performance plummet this year."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Yuhan was stunned, not expecting him to say such a thing.

Wu Tian offered no further explanation. He simply walked over, picked up Gugu, and left without another word.

"Come on, baby. Let’s go and ignore her."

"Okay, let’s ignore her!" Gugu replied, copying him perfectly.

...

Qin Yuhan stood rooted to the spot, stunned.

My own daughter... is abandoning me just like that? An overwhelming sense of grievance swelled in her heart.

At the same time, she silently fumed at Wu Tian’s ridiculous claim. With me at the helm, the Group’s performance will only continue to soar. How could it possibly decline?

Just then, a knock came from the office door.

Hearing it, Qin Yuhan quickly composed herself, her expression returning to its usual cold mask. "Come in," she said.

The office door opened, and Li Muge entered, calm and unhurried.

Since they were alone, she spoke to Qin Yuhan as she would to a sister. "I took the liberty of investigating this thoroughly. That guy, Wu Tian, wasn’t in the wrong this time."

"’That guy, Wu Tian?’" Qin Yuhan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she asked, "Are you close to him?"

"Not at all," Li Muge replied. As she spoke, she observed Qin Yuhan’s expression. She was definitely paying close attention to my answer. What in the world is their relationship?

But business came first. Li Muge continued, "Wu Tian went after Wei Chunhua because of Liang Qingren."

"You mean that intern, the campus belle?" Qin Yuhan froze, anger flaring in her heart. That guy just joined the Group and he’s already getting mixed up with the campus belle?
