Chapter 153 Qianqian, I Like You Too
Sang Qian helped the man sit down on the sofa, then sat down next to him and looked up at him carefully.
Although he tried to hide it, his pale face and slightly furrowed brows betrayed his current state, and worry was evident in Sang Qian's eyes.
"Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"
"No need, it's an old problem, the medicine will fix it." Jin Changyu smiled gently at her. "Don't worry."
Seeing him like this, Sang Qian felt a mix of emotions.
He said it was an old problem, but after two years of marriage, she didn't know he had this problem.
She had never seen him so weak and sickly.
Normally, Jin Changyu always gives people a sense of invincible composure, always so calm and composed, as if nothing in the world can defeat him.
Sang Qian felt that he was the kind of armored warrior who would never get sick or fall down.
It turns out that he also has vulnerable moments.
"Did you come here to see me?"
Sang Qian's thoughts were pulled back by his voice, and she remembered the purpose of her visit.
“Your grandma just called me and said that a relative of the Jin family sent a gift to the baby and asked us to pick it up tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Changyu frowned slightly.
Unexpectedly, these people couldn't get into Yuting Bay and all went to Grandma's place.
Jin Changyu knew she didn't want to deal with his relatives or go back to the old house. "You don't need to worry about this. I'll have someone go and get the gifts back."
"But...Grandma told us to go home for dinner, and I agreed."
Jin Changyu's eyebrows twitched, and a hint of secret joy appeared in his eyes as he looked at her. "You'd like to come back for dinner with me?"
Sang Qian pursed her lips and nodded, "Mm."
She could let it go with other people, but when it came to Old Madam Jin, she could never bring herself to refuse.
"Okay, then we'll go home tomorrow and have dinner with Grandma."
Looking at his pale face, Sang Qian asked suspiciously, "But are you... really okay?"
She felt he probably wouldn't want his family to see him in this state.
"It's okay, I've been taking my medication for the past two days, so I'll be fine."
Since he had already said that, Sang Qian didn't say anything more and nodded.
"Then you should get some rest early tonight and stop working," she couldn't help but say.
"No matter how important work is, it's not as important as your health."
Hearing her concerned words, Jin Changyu felt a sudden pang of sorrow.
It feels so good to have my wife by my side, giving me advice and care.
"...Okay, I understand."
He responded with a slightly choked voice.
Sang Qian also felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.
She lowered her head and after a long while, she said in a muffled voice, "Jin Changyu, actually... you shouldn't have married me in the first place."
The sudden words caused Jin Changyu's pupils to dilate sharply. "Why do you say that?"
Sang Qian looked up at his pale and tired face, her throat feeling as if something sharp was stuck in it, making it difficult for her to speak.
"I have neither the ability nor the strength to assist your career. If you had married a woman from a powerful family, you wouldn't have had to endure such hardship these past two years, would you?"
Jin Changyu shook his head abruptly, "Why would you think that? I never wanted your assistance, I..."
“You said it yourself,” Sang Qian interrupted him. “You said that family marriage is a business tactic, and that business marriage is based on interests.”
She took a deep breath and steadied her voice before continuing, "You also said that finding love in a business marriage is a flawed concept."
Jin Changyu said urgently, "But when I first met you, I didn't want a business marriage."
Since it's not a business marriage, it naturally doesn't need to follow the standards for business marriages.
Jin Changyu held Sang Qian's hand and looked at her intently. "Our marriage is not based on a business arrangement. We are simply getting married as a man and a woman. Do you understand?"
Sang Qian's pupils dilated slightly. "Pure... marriage between a man and a woman?"
"Yes, marrying you was my personal choice, not the company's."
Jin Changyu looked into her beautiful, slightly trembling eyes. "I understand better than anyone the conditions required for a business marriage, and its significance, but I still want to marry you. Tell me... why?"
Sang Qian's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly avoided his burning, direct gaze.
"Sang Qian, I want you to know that I never married you for career or profit."
Jin Changyu raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek. "Whether you believe it or not, in the past two years, no matter how hard or tiring it was for me outside, as long as I came home and saw you smiling at me, all my fatigue would instantly disappear."
He loved her smile.
Brilliant and warm, like a ray of sunshine, brightening people's hearts.
His warm palms pressed against her face, and Sang Qian felt her skin warm up. Her wandering gaze returned to his face because of his words.
"Do you know when was the most difficult and unbearable time for me?"
Sang Qian looked at him blankly, "...When?"
Jin Changyu gently stroked her delicate skin with his thumb. "It was when you divorced me and didn't want me anymore."
Seeing the man's eyes suddenly redden, Sang Qian felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle.
The next second, she heard the man sigh softly, his voice slightly hoarse, "During the time you were away from home, when I came back and couldn't see your smile or hear your voice, it felt like the whole house had lost its vitality."
"Without you, this home is just a shell."
Hearing these words, Sang Qian suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
He always left early and returned late. She thought that in his eyes, she, as his wife, was just a figurehead, someone who was dispensable.
"When you got divorced, you said you hated me for being old-fashioned and boring, and you put up with me for two years..."
Sang Qian's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously shook her head. Then she heard the man laugh self-deprecatingly, "I was thinking... you said you hate me and can't stand me anymore, so I can't force you to do something against your will. So, I pretended to be generous and agreed to the divorce."
Jin Changyu slowly approached her, his deep, intense gaze fixed on her at close range, his tone tinged with hurt and grievance:
"But Qianqian, you're lying to me. You clearly like me."
Upon hearing this, Sang Qian's body suddenly trembled, and she stared at him in astonishment.
How did he know...?
Sang Qian's mind was in a daze, so much so that she didn't even realize the man had silently moved closer to her again.
"Qianqian, I like you too."
"Please give me another chance."
The man's magnetic, tender voice seemed to have hooks, gently scraping against Sang Qian's eardrums, causing her to momentarily lose her focus.
Jin Changyu stared intently at her pretty yet unguarded face.
The woman's face, flushed and delicate, gazed at him with hazy, yet alluring eyes.
The two were now very close, their breaths mingling together, creating an irresistible, tantalizing sensation.
His burning gaze fell on the woman's moist red lips, and Jin Changyu's Adam's apple bobbed.
Finally, in the next second, unable to contain his emotions, he kissed her...
