Chapter 632 You can get married, why can't I have a new life?

While Lu Tingchuan was in the bathroom, Li Yun walked over to stand beside Shen Qing. "Did you hear that? Lu Tingchuan treats you like a servant to be ordered around. You're nothing in his eyes, not even a lover. You're just a useful toy. Even a lover has a retail price, and you... are so cheap. I've left your bank card under the fruit bowl on the coffee table. Remember to keep it safe. Get as far away from him as possible."

Seeing that Shen Qing didn't say anything, Li Yun was arrogant as if she had won, and there was no trace of the gentle daughter she was.

Li Yun originally thought that Shen Qing would be even more sad and upset after humiliating someone and trampling on their self-esteem, but she didn't expect that she actually looked up and smiled.

"Thank you, Miss Li."

Li Yun's body stiffened, and after a moment of silence, a surge of anger suddenly rose in her heart.

"You thank me?"

Shen Qing said, "Of course I have to thank you. You are right. It is wrong to be a lover while you are still young. I have never thought of lowering myself to become a mistress and destroying your relationship. Thank you for telling me what you said today. It made me see the true face of the matter. I will leave. I wish you and Mr. Lu a happy wedding. I also ask you to keep an eye on him and don't cheat on him during marriage."

Shen Qing said this sincerely, and his gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.

Li Yun probably heard the sincerity in Shen Qing's words every day, and her face changed slightly. Just as she was about to raise her hand, there was a noise from the bathroom, and Lu Tingchuan opened the door and came out.

He was keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and his eyelids twitched when he saw Li Yun and Shen Qing standing together.

"What's wrong?"

Li Yun could only withdraw her hands and clench her fists to calm herself down. When Lu Tingchuan came over, the expression on her face had returned to calm.

Li Yun said, "It's nothing. I took the initiative to ask you out today, so shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Lu Tingchuan smiled: "Of course, where do you want to go? I'll go with you."

"I know a place that's perfect for couples."

"Let's go." Lu Tingchuan took the car keys.

Li Yun's expression was as proud as a victorious rooster. She held Lu Tingchuan's arm, as if declaring her sovereignty to someone.

Neither of them even glanced at Shen Qing, simply ignoring her as if she didn't exist.

Shen Qing stood there for a while before she came to her senses when she heard the sound of a car driving outside. She let out a light breath, turned around, brought in the leftover bowls on the table, and turned on the hot water to wash the dishes.

A drop of water fell into the sink, splashing slight ripples. Shen Qing raised his hand to wipe it, wondering... why were his eyes wet?

It turns out that people can really be in a daze and suddenly cry silently.

After washing the dishes, Shen Qing returned to the living room and sat on the sofa. She stared at the coffee table in front of her, remembered Li Yun's words, reached out to move the fruit plate, and sure enough, she saw a bank card underneath with a password on it, a simple six zeros.

She reached out and rubbed it. She never thought that one day she would be so valuable. One million would be enough for her to use for a long time.

Lu Tingchuan used to give her money often, but she didn't use a penny of it because she felt that taking Lu Tingchuan's money meant he was indirectly supporting her.

In fact, she had been kept by Lu Tingchuan for a long time. She was his lover and now he was his mistress. These were all facts, but she herself was unwilling to admit it.

She held the bank card in her hand, her whole body in a self-protective posture, sitting hunched over and hugging her knees.

She was able to hold it in. When she cried, there was no sound. She just sat there as if she was asleep.

On this day, it got dark very quickly, not just the sky.

There was a cool breeze and not a single star in the sky.

It was not until the early morning that Lu Tingchuan came back, smelling of alcohol.

The lights in the living room were on. Drunk, his brown eyes looked even darker. He walked in and called out, "Shen Qing."

This time when he came back from drinking, unlike the last time when there was no one there, as long as Shen Qing was there, the lights in the house would always be on for him, the food would always be hot, and the house would always be warm.

Shen Qing cooked him a bowl of soup to protect his stomach.

Lu Tingchuan put down the bowl after drinking. Shen Qing was about to take the bowl into the kitchen to wash it when Lu Tingchuan grabbed her hand.

"What did Li Yun say to you today?"

Shen Qing's body stiffened: "She told me to leave you."

"Will you leave me then?"

"You're getting engaged and will get married in the future. Lu Tingchuan, I don't want to be a lover for the rest of my life." Shen Qing tried her best to keep her tone calm, but her voice still trembled as she spoke.

Lu Tingchuan's face darkened, and he gripped Shen Qing's hand even tighter: "You said you would never leave me."

"You also said today that you would fire me this month."

"That was just something I said casually to deal with her..."

"Me too." Before Lu Tingchuan could finish his words, Shen Qing interrupted him with a bitter look on her face. "I only said I would stay by your side forever to please you. Lu Tingchuan, we both know why I stayed by your side. It was because of the video you forced me to record. And why you wanted me around was because you were used to treating me like a servant and a bed partner to satisfy your desires."

"What I hate most in my life is being a mistress. It's you who made me the most disgusting person. Please let me go." She finally said it.

Lu Tingchuan blurted out, "You wish! How long have you been with me? Less than two months. I haven't had enough fun yet, so what gives you the right to leave? I said I'll only let you go when I'm tired of you. I'm not tired of you yet. If you dare to leave, I'll send out your video edit and make sure you never dare show your face in public again in your life!"

"What did you say?" Shen Qing's eyes were red. She knew that Lu Tingchuan would do anything to control someone, but she didn't expect his methods to be so shameless.

"I'll only say this harshly once, but I warn you, I'll keep my word!" Lu Tingchuan gritted his teeth, thinking to himself: "You want to leave him? No way! He hasn't had enough fun yet, so why should Shen Qing leave?"

"Lu Tingchuan, you already have a fiancée. You're going to get married and have children, and start a new family." Since you're getting married, why keep her? He clearly said that she and Li Yun were incomparable.

What does it mean that he is holding a woman in one hand? Is it true that the red flag is flying at home and the colorful flags are flying outside?

She really didn't understand, didn't know what Lu Tingchuan's mentality was.

Lu Tingchuan sneered, "I'm getting married. Does that have anything to do with supporting you?" In their circle, it's perfectly normal for married people to keep several mistresses outside. What right did Shen Qing have to care? Wouldn't it be better for her to just be his mistress?

Do you know what "mistress" means? When a man and a woman, one or both of whom are married, have a sexual relationship, the woman is the man's mistress.

Shen Qing should have understood this when she compromised and became his mistress, so why did she think that he would let her go as long as they got married?

Lu Tingchuan had a smile on his face, laughing at Shen Qing's stupidity, laughing at her for not seeing the reality after so long.

Lu Tingchuan continued, his tone soothing: "I am going to get married, but my marriage with the Li family is just a business one. I still like you, Shen Qing, what are you dissatisfied with? I've been good enough to you, can't you just be more sensible?"

This seemed to be the first time Lu Tingchuan told her that he liked her, but when Shen Qing heard it, she felt like a knife was stabbing her heart, the pain was excruciating.

What a nice guy, you are to me, what an untimely guy.

Shen Qing's eyes were red, and her voice was hoarse as she spoke each word. "I don't want to, and I'm not willing for our relationship to continue. Lu Tingchuan, you said you would still love me even if you got married. So let me ask you, can I get married too?"

Lu Tingchuan shouted without thinking: "No!"

Whenever he thought that Shen Qing would really marry another man and have children one day, he felt so uncomfortable that he felt like his body was covered with thorns and he wished he could pull them out one by one.

The wrist he grabbed seemed to be breaking. Shen Qing endured the pain, her face slightly pale. "So, why do you ask me to accept something you can't accept? You can get married, so why can't I have a new life? Why do I have to become the third party I hate the most, become your mistress, and ask for something that doesn't belong to me?"

As Shen Qing spoke, a string in his head suddenly snapped with a buzzing sound. Lu Tingchuan only heard a buzzing sound in his ears, his face became hot, and as his emotions got out of control, his anger overflowed uncontrollably into a mess. He reached out and grabbed Shen Qing's neck and pressed him on the sofa.

"You dare!"
