When Qin Chu entered, the living room was already clean and tidy.
The gray sofa cover was replaced with a beige one.
A black gift bag was casually tossed in the corner of the sofa.
The aluminum cans on the coffee table are gone.
The magazines were neatly arranged.
The living room door was wide open, with only the white porcelain bowls on the coffee table covered by plates.
The beer was gone too; I knew immediately that Ye Li had put it back in the freezer after taking the photos.
Even after spraying air freshener, the aroma of fresh, spicy crayfish still lingered in the air.
Then I went to the bedroom, where I could hear the sound of running water from the bathroom.
"I love taking a bath, my skin feels so good, la la la la... bouncing around, the turtle falls down..."
The gloom of the whole night seemed to be relieved a lot by what I saw and heard at this moment.
Qin Chu took a deep breath and went to the refrigerator to get an ice pack.
When Ye Li came out after taking a shower, she immediately saw Qin Chu on the living room balcony.
"Where are you going so late at night...?"
Ye Li opened her mouth.
Qin Chu turned around.
Their eyes met, and Ye Li's smile vanished instantly. "What happened to your face?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Ye Li knew the answer: "Your mother?"
Qin Chu nodded, "Tonight is her 50th birthday, and she's upset that I embarrassed her."
From the moment she appeared in the banquet hall, Yao Wanying's gaze was like a knife fixed on her face.
She simply wasn't wearing an evening gown; she was wearing a black backless wide-leg pantsuit.
That's all.
Then, Qin Zhongsong's early departure became the fuse for her explosion.
Finally, it befell her.
"Qin Yucheng's marriage has been arranged."
Qin Chu turned back to look at the twinkling lights on the main road in the distance and sneered, "She wants me to get married this year and have a baby next year, so that my child will be the first child of the Qin family in this generation. Both I and the child will have a different place in Qin Zhongsong's eyes, and I'll be set for life..."
"But Pear, if I could, I would never want to have the surname Qin."
"I know!"
Ye Li nodded, walked over and sat down next to Qin Chu, and used an ice pack to apply to her face. "How about we leave the capital and live somewhere else?"
Qin Chu remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.
She can't leave!
To be precise, she thought about dying, but she never thought about leaving.
Death ends all troubles. Who's happy or sad? She's already dead, so there's no need to care anymore.
But should we leave?
There's no way to leave!
Even though she disliked Yao Wanying's pressure to get married, the fact was that she had never been far away from her since childhood.
Yao Wanying clung tightly to Qin Zhongsong because his presence proved that she was not without anything.
Even if some people say she's shameless.
Even though everyone calls her Aunt Qin in private.
But Qin Zhongsong's existence proves that besides her, she also has a man backing her up.
However, Qin Zhongsong was already seventy years old and in poor health.
After Qin Zhongsong left, Yao Wanying was all alone.
If even she were to leave, not to mention how Madam Qin, Qin Yucheng, and the rest of the Qin family would treat her, Yao Wanying herself probably wouldn't be able to survive.
Even if she travels to the ends of the earth, the guilt and unease in her heart will torment her day and night.
Where else can we go?
Staring blankly at the withered green plant in the corner, Qin Chu leaned against the wall and looked up at Ye Li, asking, "Li Zi, do you still remember Su Nan Jin?"
? ? ?
Ye Li frowned.
Qin Chu prompted, "The one who wants to use marriage to make a deal with me, the second young master of the Su family, Su Nanjin."
Ye Li suddenly realized.
Qin Chu sat up straight and asked, "How about I talk to him tomorrow?"
One of them is an illegitimate child of the Su family.
One is the illegitimate daughter of the Qin family.
In terms of family background, she and Su Nanjin seem to be a good match, right?
Moreover, Su Nanjin said that they would not interfere with each other after marriage.
I used to think that the other person was being ridiculous by talking about marriage in such a frivolous way.
But now that he thought about it, Qin Chu suddenly realized that Su Nanjin was truly wise.
As if he had suddenly found a solution, Qin Chu looked at Ye Li with eager anticipation and asked, "How is it? Isn't it pretty good?"
Ye Li shook her head in disagreement, "I still think we shouldn't be so impulsive."
He met Qin Chu's gaze directly, as if to say, "Even if I'm impulsive, can I be as impulsive as you were when you married Master Fu?"
Ye Li: ...
The more Qin Chu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He started calculating on his fingers, "Su Nanjin was introduced by Qin Zhongsong, so Qin Zhongsong and my mother definitely won't have any objections to this marriage."
"Su Nanjin is so understanding, so he definitely won't have any objections. ...As long as I agree, Su Nanjin and I can be like other couples in wealthy families, a couple who treat each other with cold indifference, except...the matter of having children..."
The thought of having sex as the first thing that happens when you have a baby made Qin Chu sigh deeply, and he couldn't continue talking.
Ye Li also sighed.
In the wealthy families of the capital, everyone says that Qin Chu has a promiscuous private life.
But only Ye Li knew that Qin Chu was more resistant to the idea of a relationship between men and women than anyone else.
From childhood to adulthood, I've watched Yao Wanying go through one man after another, but none of them lasted long.
Qin Zhongsong is the longest-serving.
Unfortunately, she was an immoral mistress.
As a result, Qin Chu was filled with uncertainty and distrust regarding stable marital relationships.
In her opinion, no man is any good.
Before I succeed in getting you, I will love you forever, until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble.
