Extra 34

In the morning, just as dawn broke, Qin Anning left Qin Man's house.

She barely slept last night, spending the entire night sitting on the sofa.

When she arrived at the door of the rented apartment, she stood there for a long time before entering the password and pushing the door open to go inside.

Upon entering the room, Qin Anning froze. In the dark living room, a person was sitting on the sofa. Seeing this unexpectedly startled her.

She quickly composed herself and asked softly, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

The shadowy figure did not answer. After a moment of silence, Qin Anning raised her hand and turned on the light.

Bright light instantly filled the entire room, and both of them were simultaneously exposed to the light.

Fu Yin looked up at her, and their eyes met.

Qin Anning's fingers slowly tightened, and the unease in her heart rose again, extinguishing the last bit of hope she had.

The fact that Fu Yin wasn't asleep means that what he said at the club wasn't just drunken talk.

Both sides remained silent for a while. Qin Anning composed herself and walked over.

She sat calmly beside Fu Yin, not looking at him, and asked, "Were you waiting for me to come back?"

"Hmm." Fu Yin's tone was also calm, as if nothing had changed from before.

Qin Anning said, "Tell me, what made you make this decision?"

This was a question Qin Anning couldn't understand even after thinking about it all night. He was perfectly fine, but suddenly he changed.

Fu Yin remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I've met that Bai Lin."

Qin Anning was slightly taken aback.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yin seemed to have finally made up his mind. He said, "Your father is also on the news."

Qin Anning finally understood, and for a moment she didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.

"Just because of that?"

Fu Yin shook his head and turned to look at Qin Anning. "Anning, I get distracted when I'm with you."

"Although I may be confident that I can catch up with you and reach a level that matches yours, I cannot guarantee how long it will take."

"I can't keep you waiting."

Qin Anning opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to tell him about the five-year period, but seeing Fu Yin's resolute gaze, she swallowed the words back down.

She understood Fu Yin; his pride wouldn't allow him to agree, and it would only make him more determined to break up.

Qin Anning could only ask in vain, "Do you lack confidence in me, or in yourself?"

"On the contrary, I have confidence in us, and that's why I made this decision."

He shut Qin An down once again.

Fu Yin said, "I know you don't mind, and your family probably doesn't mind either, but I can't accept it."

"Catching up with you is my goal, but having you by my side only makes me feel incompetent."

Qin Anning was genuinely amused by his words this time.

To be honest, Qin Anning had considered the possibility of them breaking up, and had thought of countless reasons for the breakup, but she never expected it to be this reason.

"What, are you trying to use breaking up as motivation to keep going?"

Fu Yin gave a bitter smile, "I don't know, but my heart tells me that I have to do this."

Qin Anning didn't know what to say.

She couldn't even think of a reason to ask her to stay.

Fu Yin has his own pride, and so does she; it's not in Qin Anning's nature to be humble and plead with him to stay.

Just like Fu Yin's unwillingness to rise to power through women.

As long as he doesn't reach a position of equal standing with Qin Anning, and as long as they are together, in his heart, he will always be a kept man.

That's why he had to break up with her.

It was precisely because of the deep affection between the two that he was so determined.

Perhaps if it were someone else, he wouldn't have been so persistent.

But Qin Anning meant something different to him. They had known each other for a long time, and Qin Anning was a ray of light in his dark years.

He loved her very much, and had selfishly thought that he could just go on regardless of everything.

But ultimately, reason told him he couldn't.

Qin Anning was well aware of his contradictory nature and knew that it was his pride that was causing the problem, so Qin Anning had no reason to try to keep him.

After a long silence, Qin Anning said, "Since you've made up your mind, then let's leave it at that."

Fu Yin didn't say sorry either; sorry is the cheapest of three words.

Qin Anning said, "Then I won't go to the company."

"I'm planning to deregister, or leave it to you and you can continue operating it?"

Qin Anning's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down.

Since he's going to cut ties, he must be prepared to do so cleanly. The company was registered by Qin Anning, so naturally he won't continue operating it.

He has already invested all his money in this company.

Penniless, he started all over again; it's a mystery where he got his confidence.

Qin Anning nodded without saying much. "Keep the company. It's my registered company after all. You should get some rest. I'm leaving now. I'll come back to pack my things later."

This was within Fu Yin's expectations, and he hummed in agreement.

Qin Anning got up and left. The moment she closed the door, her tense nerves finally relaxed, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

She looked up, forced back her tears, wiped them away casually, and walked towards the elevator.

After going downstairs, I took a taxi back to Qin Man's home.

The two people were still asleep. She placed the breakfast she had bought on the table, and as soon as she opened it, the aroma of meat buns wafted out.

Yang Jingyu twitched his nose and suddenly woke up.

He rubbed his eyes, looking happily at the breakfast on the table, and then saw Qin Anning. "Anning, did you buy breakfast for us?"

Qin Anning nodded, "Now that you're awake, hurry up and eat."

Yang Jingyu immediately stood up from the sofa, ran to wash up, and then ran out to grab his breakfast and began to wolf it down.

Qin Man also slowly woke up. Seeing this, she reached out and grabbed Yang Jingyu's arm, "Save some for me!"

Qin Anning said, "There's plenty, enough for you to eat."

Qin Anning grinned, "Thank you, Anning, you're so kind."

After saying that, she also ran to the bathroom to wash up.

After breakfast, Yang Jingyu went back to his room to change his clothes. He had originally planned to rest for two days before going back to work, but after spending a day with Qin Man, he still felt that going to work was easy.

"Okay, I'm all packed. Let's go to the company!"

Qin Anning, however, remained calmly seated on the sofa, not moving an inch. "Don't go. Wait a couple of days until I've finished the paperwork before you go."

Yang Jingyu was taken aback. "What procedures?"

"Share transfer procedures".

"ah?"

Qin Anning said bluntly, "Fu Yin is leaving the company, and all his shares are going to be given to me. I will go with him in the next few days to handle the transfer agreement and some business handover."

Qin Man didn't understand and just kept eating her meat bun, wondering where Qin Anning had bought it, but it tasted pretty good.

Yang Jingyu was completely confused. "Why?"

Qin Anning said calmly, "We broke up, what else could it be?"

"Cough—" Qin Man choked on a steamed bun, and looked at Qin Anning in astonishment, "What?"
