Chapter 223 Willing to Take the Bait

Qu Jianhang couldn't stop laughing: "Are you going to announce this to the whole world?"

"Having married such a wonderful wife, of course I want to announce it to the world," he said. "To let everyone know that you are mine, and to put an end to those other people's ambitions!"

"Who are they?" Qu Jianhang glared at him. "This is all fabricated!"

“Don’t think I don’t know,” Yan Chengyu said. “I heard that some employees used to wait by your elevator just to bump into you?”

In this world, many people want to take shortcuts.

There are men who marry rich men, and there are men who marry rich women.

The same tactics girls use on rich men are naturally being used by young men on wealthy women.

Moreover, compared to most wealthy women, Qu Jianhang is incredibly young and beautiful.

She looks to be in her early thirties at most, and even though she doesn't have that much wealth, many people are pursuing her.

"Who told you this?" Qu Jianhang laughed. "It was a young man from a partner company who came to deliver some documents to me. It got passed around and that's how it got like this."

Did he pursue you after that?

Qu Jianhang skipped the topic: "Let me tell you, I'll decide whether or not to have a wedding after the results come out tomorrow."

"Do it." Yan Chengyu made the final decision: "Whatever the outcome, do it."

"Can you please stop being so domineering?"

"Me, domineering?" Yan Chengyu looked at her. "I regret not being domineering back then, that's why you dared to lie to me."

"Alright, alright, I know I was wrong, but you still keep saying that," Qu Jianhang said. "We still need to plan the wedding carefully. You're so busy, there are so many things to do for the wedding..."

"I'm not so bad that I can't even find time to get married."

"Weddings are very complicated, there are many things to do..."

“I’ll find someone to do it,” Yan Chengyu said. “You’re not allowed to overwork yourself. If the test results are fine, great. But if there are any problems, you’re not allowed to go to the company anymore.”

“It’s not that serious,” Qu Jianhang said. “I’m not that fragile.”

Yan Chengyu didn't want to say much about this matter. The test results weren't out yet, and it was like a sword hanging over his head, not knowing when it would stab him.

They ate dinner together. When Lin Xiyin saw Qu Jianhang, she hugged her and congratulated her again.

Lin Youxing already understood the meaning of marriage and congratulated his grandmother in a childish voice.

He has always called Yan Chengyu "Grandpa" and hasn't changed his address.

During the meal, when the topic of weddings came up, Lin Youxing suddenly asked, "When are Mom and Dad getting married?"

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Xiyin was a little embarrassed and said to him, "We are discussing Grandma's wedding now, it has nothing to do with Mom and Dad."

Will Mom and Dad get married in the future?

Lin Xiyin didn't know what to say.

Pei Muye said, "Yes, we will."

"That's great!" Lin Youxing exclaimed happily, "I want to be a flower girl!"

He had attended weddings and seen other people be flower girls.

Qu Jianhang laughed and said, "You can be a flower girl at Grandma's wedding too, so you can be one twice."

Lin Youxing was even happier.

Pei Muyi originally thought that Yan Chengyu could take Qu Jianhang away tonight, so that he could legitimately coax Lin Xiyin to his side.

After dinner, Yan Chengyu left first.

Qu Jianhang said to Lin Xiyin, "Shall we go back too?"

Pei Muye's plan fell through.

There was no other way but to send them back first. Pei Muye really didn't want to go home alone and face the cold, unwelcoming furniture, so he simply went back to the company to work overtime.

That evening, after Lin Youxing fell asleep, Qu Jianhang pulled Lin Xiyin to the study.

"Ruanruan, this is a document I wanted to have notarized a few days ago. Take a look."

Lin Xiyin glanced at it, but after only reading the beginning, tears blurred her vision.

"Mom, how is this any different from a will!" she cried, "I don't want to see it!"

"Silly child, what's the big deal?" Qu Jianhang wiped away her tears: "Your grandparents wrote it all down a long time ago, so that we won't argue about it later."

Lin Xiyin was still unhappy.

Qu Jianhang said, "Mom didn't mean anything by it. Some assets have already been transferred to you. I still have some here. In case something happens to me in the future, these assets will be divided into three parts: one part for you, one part to be donated, and the third part for your Uncle Yan."

Lin Xiyin sniffed and asked, "Does Uncle Yan know about this?"

"He doesn't know."

"Why won't you show him? You're just bullying me..."

Qu Jianhang felt a little embarrassed. She really didn't dare to show it to Yan Chengyu. Given Yan Chengyu's temper, who knows what kind of punishment he might give her.

But someone has to know about this.

She could only tell Lin Xiyin.

“Ruanruan, Mom’s health… even if everything goes well this time, who knows what will happen in the future. Besides, everyone dies eventually, right? So don’t be so resistant to this. Anyway, remember, if anything happens to Mom, this document…”

Lin Xiyin could only nod through her tears.

"Silly girl, don't cry." Qu Jianhang hugged her. "How are things between you and Pei Muyi now?"

"fine."

"Mom doesn't want to rush you, but I still think it would be better for you two to get married. It would also be beneficial for Youyou's development. What do you think?"

"Mom, I understand."

Qu Jianhang also knew that at this time, no matter what request she made, Lin Xiyin would agree.

She sighed: "If the results come out and Mom is okay, will you still agree to marry Pei Muyi?"

Lin Xiyin said, "It's only a matter of time before we get married. I'm not getting married now because I just want to enjoy the sweetness of being in love."

"That's good. Mom hopes that you will do everything according to your own wishes."

No one slept well that night.

Lin Xiyin tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

The next day, I woke up with a faint bluish tinge under my eyes, and upon closer inspection, I could also see dark circles.

Qu Jianhang was alright, but he still looked somewhat haggard.

The results wouldn't be out until the afternoon, and Lin Xiyin couldn't concentrate on work all morning, so she practiced calligraphy for a while to calm herself down.

At 11:30, Pei Muye came to pick her up. The two agreed to have lunch together and then go to the hospital in the afternoon.

When they arrived, Yan Chengyu was already with Qu Jianhang, waiting in the dean's office.

Yan Chengyu had previously chaired meetings within the health system, so the hospital director naturally recognized him.

Yan Chengyu introduced him to Qu Jianhang, saying that she was his lover.

The dean already knew about the couple, but he didn't expect Yan Chengyu to directly say that Qu Jianhang was his lover.

Before the dean could say anything, Yan Chengyu added, "We've already registered our marriage."

The dean quickly said, "Congratulations."

He realized that Yan Chengyu's words were tinged with a sense of boasting.

Looking at this perfect couple, although they are both in their late forties or early fifties, they are both good-looking and have great temperament. Standing together, they are truly a sight to behold.

The hospital director hoped that this loving couple could stay together forever, and secretly hoped that Qu Jianhang's test results wouldn't be too bad.

Pei Muyi led Lin Xiyin over, and Qu Jianhang said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you not to come over?"

Pei Muye said, "Yinyin is worried."

Yan Chengyu said, "You're here, so please have a seat. The results aren't out yet."

They usually act like a family, and the atmosphere is harmonious when they eat together.

But it's really not a good time for small talk today.

Everyone was distracted, talking only half-heartedly.

The door to the dean's office was knocked on, and the dean pushed it open, holding the lab reports in his hand.

"The results are in."

Pei Muye and Lin Xiyin suddenly stood up.

Qu Jianhang didn't move, but Yan Chengyu also jumped up and strode over: "How is it?"

The dean smiled and said, "It's alright, don't worry. The test results are all normal. You just need to have regular checkups from now on."

Lin Xiyin could hardly believe her ears.

She asked, "Does this rule out the possibility that it's malignant?"

“It can basically be ruled out,” the hospital director said. “But for the past two years, for safety’s sake, it’s best to have an enhanced CT scan every three months, along with blood tests.”

"Okay, we will definitely check on time."

As everyone left the hospital, smiles were on their faces.

Only Yan Chengyu's smile was restrained, with only a slight upturn at the corners of his lips.

Lin Xiyin had to go back to school, so Pei Muye went to see her off.

After watching the two leave, Yan Chengyu led Qu Jianhang into the car, and then, disregarding the fact that the driver was still there, he hugged her tightly.

Qu Jianhang was very uncomfortable: "What are you doing? Someone's here..."

The driver wisely got out of the car and drove away.

"Hanghang..."

Yan Chengyu's voice was trembling with tears.

Qu Jianhang felt both amused and distressed: "It's all alright now, why are you crying? You're such a grown-up, it's so embarrassing."

Does Yan Chengyu want to cry?

He doesn't want to.

He's shed more tears in the last few days than he has in the last few decades.

Just thinking about the possibility that Qu Jianhang might be sick, and the fact that this woman had broken up with him before, made him feel scared.

Will you still break up with me in the future?

"We're not breaking up, we're not breaking up." Qu Jianhang patted his back: "We're married, how can we break up?"

"There are so many divorces even after marriage."

"Are you trying to make me divorce you?"

Don't even think about it.

Qu Jianhang touched his face: "Yan Chengyu, why are you so insecure? If you tell others, no one will believe you."

"You want to break up with me over the smallest things? I feel insecure. Who's responsible for this?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Qu Jianhang nestled in his arms: "I won't do it again. If I do something wrong, you'll nag me for the rest of my life."

"I'll repeat it every day, let's see if you dare to do it again next time."

Qu Jianhang said, "We got our marriage certificate before even meeting your son. Won't he be angry when he finds out?"

"Why should I care? You married me, not him."

"But he is your son."

"I'm the father," Yan Chengyu said. "Do I need his permission to get married?"

"Then ask him when he's free and you can meet up."

"If you don't want to see me, then you don't have to."

“That’s strange,” Qu Jianhang leaned back, creating some distance between them. “You were always eager for me to meet him before, so why aren’t you so enthusiastic now?”

"I used to want to settle down with you, but now that we've already got our marriage certificate, if you don't want to see me, then forget it."

"Oh, since the fish have already taken the bait, what's the point of using bait..."

"What nonsense is this?" Yan Chengyu was so angry that he laughed: "The fishhook has always been in your hand. I'm the fish that gets caught... Oh, no, you're Jiang Taigong, and I'm the one who willingly takes the bait."

Qu Jianhang smiled and nestled in his arms: "You set a time to meet him."
