Ye Li opened her eyes, feeling like her back was about to break.
I feel incredibly fortunate that there's only one Valentine's Day.
But then I thought, given Fu Yanci's character, he was just making an excuse, right?
He wasn't with her on Valentine's Day before, and he didn't seem as upset as he claimed, like he was about to explode!
The old saying is true: a man's words are deceitful!
When I turned around, I found myself all alone.
On my phone, there was a WeChat message he had sent two hours earlier: "Ali, I'm at the company."
Ye Li: ...
While wearing a face mask and taking a bath, she thought about how she had always spent Valentine's Day nights with Chu Chu, and wondered how she had spent last night.
Ye Li sent a video over.
"Getting up at this hour? Looks like the battle last night was quite intense."
As soon as the video call connected, Qin Chu started joking.
Fortunately, she was wearing a face mask, so her flushed face wasn't visible. Instead of answering, Ye Li asked, "And you? How did you spend yesterday?"
"I went to check out the new car park this morning, wow... Pear, I'm not exaggerating, Mr. Fu is incredibly generous! The new car park is absolutely amazing! Pear, considering how generous Mr. Fu is to his own sister, you should put in some effort and remember to give him a proper thank you!"
How else can I thank you?
I almost couldn't get out of bed.
Ye Li used to just spout off about handsome male leads in comics and idol dramas, but when it came to Fu Yanci, she couldn't utter a single word of what she considered vulgar language.
On the other end, Qin Chu seemed oblivious to Ye Li's embarrassment, and changed the subject, talking about that bizarre blind date.
"That toad, no... I feel like calling it a toad is an insult to toads! It looks like that and instead of staying at home, it comes out to disgust people. I'm really speechless."
She described the lewd behavior of the toad-like man, who practically had his eyes glued to her the moment they met.
He repeated those marriage requirements that would be criticized by thousands of people if he posted them online.
Qin Chu still looked frantic as he recalled the incident, "I threw a cup of coffee at him on the spot, so what my mom thought was a sure thing for the blind date... fell through!"
Ye Li looked at Qin Chu with eyes full of heartache, "Wait for me."
I've stopped using face masks.
I don't even take baths anymore.
Ye Li dried her hair, changed her clothes, and sped out of Lishan Mansion.
Ten minutes later, the two sat side by side on the carpet in front of the sofa.
Upon hearing that Lu Xizhou had gone to the parking lot, the two of them even got stuck in traffic on the mountain road.
Looking at Qin Chu, who now seemed completely unconcerned, Ye Li blinked. "So, you're alright now?"
"I guess everything's alright now!"
Qin Chu smiled, then sighed softly as she thought of last night, "You know, back then, my car wheels were practically on the side of the road. I just needed to turn the steering wheel slightly, and all my troubles would be gone... But, thinking of my Ferrari worth over twenty million, and thinking of you, I just couldn't bear to part with it!"
Ye Li pouted, "So, I'm still in line behind the car?"
"That car was a gift from you. What, you're jealous of a car full of other cars?"
"Yeah, I'm a living, breathing person, and I can't even keep up with a broken-down car. Qin Chuchu, wouldn't you be angry if you were in my shoes?"
"Of course I'm not angry! It's dead, but you're alive!"
"I'm still angry! ...No, Qin Chuchu, in your heart, am I only comparable to a race car?"
"??? Mrs. Fu, could your angle of argument be any more bizarre?"
"cannot!"
"!!!"
After joking and bickering for a while, Qin Chu felt that the last bit of frustration in his heart had disappeared.
He stopped drinking alcohol.
I won't even bother to point out the flaws.
Qin Chu put down the can, turned around and hugged Ye Li. "Li Zi, thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for? For not being there for you when you were at your lowest? Or for being able to offer advice only after the fact?"
Ye Li hugged Qin Chu and patted her back gently. "Why are you so silly? Next time your mother threatens you, just say that Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu said they would help you get introduced to someone, and pass the buck to me and Fu Yanci."
"It's too late."
? ? ?
Ye Li was taken aback.
Qin Chu laughed and said, "I called her as soon as I got back last night and told her not to bother finding a rope to scare me anymore. Next time, just send me the rope by express delivery, and I'll livestream myself hanging myself for her!"
"..."
Ye Li: "So you're saying this is... fighting poison with poison?"
"Who cares?"
Qin Chu leaned back on the sofa. "Life is just a matter of opening and closing your eyes. Some people have their eyes open longer, and some have their eyes closed longer. Being able to live as clearly and freely as I did last night is a bonus! As for the rest, let fate decide!"
After saying that, seemingly not wanting to talk about yesterday anymore, Qin Chu turned back and winked at Ye Li, "Want to go check out my new car park?"
"Isn't that a bad idea?"
Her gaze swept over the two empty soda cans on the carpet. Ye Li's eyes were filled with anticipation, yet she hesitated. "Don't drink and drive, don't drive after drinking, isn't that what you said?"
"I showed you my new car park, what are you thinking?"
Qin Chu looked amused.
Ye Li: ...
More than half an hour later, the two stood on the viewing platform in the parking lot.
The drivers' excitement was all reflected in the roar of their engines.
Black, red, white, blue—colorful race cars raced across the spacious track, making your blood boil and filling you with indescribable excitement.
Thinking back to how she had wandered into a dead end last night, Qin Chu couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
Troubles are temporary.
Whether she gets through it or just gets through it, once it's over, she'll still be herself.
"In a few days, I'll be taking the team out for a race."
His eyes lit up when he talked about the competition, and he looked radiant.
Qin Chu turned to look at Ye Li, "You and Master Fu should be fine. If something happens..."
If you need anything, call me.
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she thought that even if the sky fell, Master Fu would protect her.
Qin Chu smiled and said, "It's definitely nothing. So, I wish our Mrs. Fu more and more happiness every day, and that her studies, love life, and career all rise higher and higher!"
Ye Li laughed, "Then I wish Captain Qin's team continued success, making a fortune every day, and becoming a super-rich woman who's so rich she's practically broke! May you find that man who only has eyes for you and a heart for you!"
"I accept the congratulations on your achievements. But forget about men! I'm going to lock my heart away and focus on my career!"
Qin Chu smiled brightly.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone lingering there hesitantly for quite a while.
Qin Chu turned around and saw a young man in the convoy. "What's wrong?"
"Sister Qin..."
The young man pointed outside the door, "There's a package for you, why don't you go and sign for it?"
Qin Chu sighed, "In the time it takes to relay a message, why don't you just sign it and bring it over for me? Why did you have to make this special trip?"
They must have so much free time!
Shaking his head and chuckling, Qin Chu turned and walked outside.
When she saw the package outside the door, she blinked and froze.
