That year, a marriage contract resulted in helpless betrayal. She willingly went to prison for five years, yet she couldn't earn his forgiveness.
The past beauty turned into endless hurt,...
☆、One Hundred and Forty-Eight Well Akane's Plan
Early in the morning, Yang Linxin sat up from the hospital bed. His head was aching. He pressed his solar plexus with his hand and then looked around.
But all he saw was Qi William sitting on a chair beside the bed, his head banging down again and again.
"hiss!"
Yang Lin wanted to reach out and call him, but he didn't expect that the movement would cause his entire body to hurt.
I looked at my body and found that I was covered with wounds...
Qi William, who was dozing off, woke up immediately after hearing Yang Linxin's voice, and the other party happened to be looking at him with a confused expression.
Their eyes met, and Qi William subconsciously shifted his gaze and said, "You're awake."
Seeing Qi William suddenly avoid her gaze, Yang Linxin became even more confused. Did she have a fight with someone last night? Why was this guy hiding? Didn't he say he had forgotten about her?
"You were drunk last night." Qi William tried to calm himself down, but he felt inexplicably guilty when he saw this person.
Yang Linxin raised her eyebrows upon hearing this...
She remembered that she had a business talk with a company yesterday, but she was pissed off by the other party. In addition, she had been fuming for several days because Qi William had forgotten about her, so she went to the bar to drink to her heart's content yesterday afternoon...
"I was drunk...and then...I got into a fight with someone?" Yang Linxin asked him.
Qi William nodded obediently. Because he hadn't been home all night, Qi William looked a little sleepy at this time. There were some dark circles under his eyes and his clothes were a little wrinkled.
"That's good, as long as I didn't suffer any loss." Yang Linxin breathed a sigh of relief.
She has always known that she has a bad drinking habit. When she is drunk, she can do anything, but when she is sober, she knows nothing. Therefore, she never lets herself get drunk.
"Why...are you drinking?" Qi William looked at her and asked.
"Do you need a reason to drink?" His question made Yang Linxin laugh.
"But you're not the type to get drunk."
Hearing this, Yang Linxin frowned: "From what you said, it seems that you know me very well..."
In the end, Qi William still didn't dare to tell her that he had lied to her, so he said, "I remember..."
She didn't know why, but when she heard the man say that he remembered, she felt inexplicably excited, and even a little... shy...
Damn! This isn't a good sign!
"Oh, just remember it when you think of it. It's none of my business." Yang Linxin turned his head away.
"Feel sorry……"
Qi William looked at the person on the hospital bed. The other party didn't look at him again, so he said: "Yang Linxin...you really don't like me at all..."
His tone didn't sound like a question, but rather like an affirmation he was telling himself.
Yang Linxin, who was lying on the bed, looked at him because of this sentence: "I said, I'm not interested in men younger than me."
"Just because of age?"
He looked into her eyes, trying to find out something from her eyes, but she quickly turned her head away and said, "It's not just your age, you're not my type."
"Then if I become the type you like, will you be with me?" Qi William asked again.
"No! And age." Yang Linxin stubbornly seized on the fact that he was younger than her to reject him. In fact, she didn't know why she was so resistant...
Logically, she was twenty-eight, about to turn twenty-nine. As an older, left-over woman, she should be anxious to get married. However, for over a decade before this, she had always held someone in her heart. Although that person could never be with her, she still hoped for happiness. Now, with this clingy person suddenly around, the place she had placed in her heart began to waver, which also made her feel uneasy and even a sense of betrayal.
"Su Qiqiao told me that you don't really hate me, nor do you really dislike me...you are just scared...right?" Qi William leaned over the bed and looked at her.
Yang Lin was startled when he suddenly heard the name Su Qiqiao, then said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I be afraid?"
"Then look into my eyes and tell me, you really don't like me!" Qi William's body slowly approached her, and his whole body pressed on the bed, with Yang Linxin under him.
Looking at the face that was almost close at hand, Yang Linxin's heartbeat quickened rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
"Yang Linxin!" Qi William growled her name, his tone full of struggle and helplessness.
However, this time, Yang Linxin did not reject him outright, but stared at his glasses motionlessly.
"Then what can you give me?" Yang Linxin suddenly asked.
Qi William was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to say that.
"What... can you give me? Is it just that you like me? Don't forget, women age faster than men. I'm three years older than you. By the time I'm forty, you'll be thirty-seven at most, still mature and charming, while I'll have already entered the stage of aging. You've had countless girlfriends since your student days, surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women. How can I believe... that your feelings for me can really last until I'm forty, fifty, or sixty!"
This was the first time Yang Linxin seriously talked about their relationship.
But after hearing her words, Qi William chose to remain silent.
After all, she didn't believe that he liked her, nor did she believe that he would really be loyal to her.
After all, he was heavily in debt from previous love affairs.
After seeing his silence, Yang Linxin thought that he had begun to give up, and at the same time, she felt a sense of emptiness and loss in her heart.
But who is it, he suddenly said: "So I feel insecure about you... right?"
Yang Linxin was stunned when he heard this.
He continued, "You think my liking for you is just a temporary novelty. You don't believe me, and you don't want to believe me..."
Yang Linxin did not refute this.
"I understand." Qi William sat back in his chair and lowered his head to think.
Yang Linxin looked at him and seemed to be planning to give up...
She turned her head away from him.
But she always felt like something was pressing on her chest, which made her feel very uncomfortable!
At this time, Qi William stood up and said, "I'm leaving first. Your assistant and Su Qiqiao will come to see you later. You should have a good rest."
"I understand." Yang Linxin's voice was a little dull.
After watching him leave the ward, Yang Linxin gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I knew this guy was just playing with me!"
But his eyes were red after all.
This time, Yang Linxin had to admit that she really had a crush on this brat!
My heart suddenly ached, and it lasted for quite a long time, as if the pain would continue forever.
But at this moment, the phone on the bedside suddenly rang. It was a text message.
She struggled to get her phone and opened the message...
"Yang Linxin, I won't let you go. Never. Next Tuesday, I'll listen to my dad and go to Country F to study business. I'll be back in a year... or even less than a year. I'll be the kind of man who makes you feel safe. Even if you insist on using our age difference to reject me, I won't give up. I can't change my age, but I will make myself more mature. A year is neither long nor short, and during this year, the only woman I'll think of, besides my mother, will be you!"
When she saw this text message, her heart seemed to suddenly heal miraculously. The pain disappeared instantly and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
The message ended with another sentence: "Also, Yang Linxin, I don't just like you now, I want you for the rest of my life!"

In a house in Yuncheng City.
"Grandpa Nan, Huateng has now reached cooperation with some domestic food and catering companies. I'm afraid Zhou Cheng can no longer threaten Huateng." Jing Qian said while kneading Nan Zhenhua's shoulders.
Nan Zhenhua sat on the chair and snorted coldly: "This kid is really good!"
"Grandpa Nan, Brother Jinnian is really amazing. You pushed him to that point, but he was able to turn danger into safety. I really admire Brother Jinnian more and more." Jing Qian said with an expression full of admiration.
"Yes, among my sons, Cheng'er is the best, and among my grandchildren... this kid is the best... If I give Zhou Cheng to him... I can also feel at ease..." Nan Zhenhua's face showed a trace of helplessness.
"Grandpa Nan, I have a way to separate Brother Jinnian and that woman." Jing Qian ran to Nan Zhenhua and said with a well-behaved smile.
Nan Zhenhua looked at her when he heard this: "Oh? What can Xixi do?"
"This method... may make Brother Jinnian angry... but if it succeeds, we can directly spread the news of the marriage between the Jing family and the Nan family!" Jing Qian said with a smile.
"Then tell me, Xixi." Nan Zhenhua raised his eyebrows.
Jing Qian leaned over to Nan Zhenhua's ear and whispered a few words.
Nan Zhenhua frowned and looked at her: "Xixi, are you really going to do this?"
"Grandpa Nan, you already treat Xixi as your granddaughter-in-law. Xixi is not afraid of this reputation anymore." Jing Xi's face flushed a little.
Nan Zhenhua pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say. As for Su Qiqiao... I'll take care of it!"
"Thank you...Grandpa Nan." Jing Qian smiled sweetly.
As long as this plan succeeds, Nan Jinnian will be hers! As for Su Qiqiao, if Lyle wants her, she can give her to him. If not... she will naturally find a good place for her!
At this time, Su Qiqiao came to the hospital with a lunch box, but saw Yang Linxin smiling brightly. She couldn't help but teasingly said, "Oh, spring is here, and you look a lot rosier."
"Qiaoqiao?" Yang Linxin didn't notice Su Qiqiao's arrival.
She subconsciously tried to hide her phone, but it hurt the wound so much that it hurt. Su Qiqiao noticed her strange behavior and hurried over to ask, "What's wrong? Did it touch the wound?"
Then he took her phone away: "Have a good rest, why are you playing with your phone!"
"Hey hey! Don't!" Yang Lin felt guilty and anxious.
On the contrary, Su Qiqiao couldn't help but look at his phone when he saw her look.
This look...
"Wow! This Qi William is quite manly! It's not just his love... He wants you for the rest of his life, tsk tsk... Even my Anan is not so jealous~~" Su Qiqiao sighed while shaking his head.
"Put your phone down!" Yang Linxin became anxious and aggressive.
"Okay, I'll put it down, put it down~" Su Qiqiao carefully put it on the cabinet.
"Have you thought about how to celebrate your birthday next Monday?" Su Qiqiao looked at her with a sidelong smile.
Yang Lin's heart tilted: "I don't want any random gifts, and you two should stop giving me dog food!"
"Hey, okay, don't worry, I'll definitely give you a big surprise next Monday~~"
