Chapter 81: Serious for less than three seconds
Zhu Qingya smiled at her with satisfaction, "This is the Ling Yue I know."
She stroked Ling Yue's hair and said, "There are many good men in the world. Only Yining can tolerate your brother He Chi's bad temper."
"From now on, sister-in-law will find you a bunch of men. You can choose whatever you want. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Xiang Chuan, who was standing at the door of the bar, heard Zhu Qingya's last words and frowned, "What man are you looking for?"
Ling Yue took Zhu Qingya's hand and acted coquettishly, "Of course it's a handsome man. I don't want an unhandsome one."
Zhu Qingya gave her an OK sign and said, "I guarantee it. I promise he will be a hundred times more handsome than your brother Xiang Chuan and your brother He Chi."
Xiang Chuan watched her fooling around and didn't bother to care anymore. He looked at Ling Yue and asked, "So you're heartbroken?"
"Look at you, you're so useless. You're so upset over a breakup. I thought you had something so serious that you wouldn't go home in the middle of the night and go to the bar to have a blast."
Zhu Qingya and Ling Yue looked at each other, smiled without saying anything, and did not explain to Xiang Chuan.
Ling Yue admitted her mistake to Xiang Chuan, "Brother Xiang Chuan, I was wrong. I promise it won't happen again. I won't be so willful again. I will work hard and be filial to my parents."
Xiang Chuan looked at her in surprise, thinking he had misheard, and glanced at his wife who was standing next to Ling Yue.
Zhu Qingya smiled proudly at Xiang Chuan, "What? You don't trust my education level?"
"I'm telling you, once the baby is born, I'll be in charge of his education."
Ling Yue looked down at Zhu Qingya's belly in disbelief, "Sister Qingya, are you pregnant?"
Zhu Qingya and Xiang Chuan looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. She nodded, "Yes, it wasn't even three months before. I thought I'd tell you about this happy event after things were stable."
Ling Yue felt even more guilty, "You're pregnant, and I made you run out to see me in the middle of the night. I'm sorry."
As soon as she got drunk, she called Brother He Chi, and she regretted it after being scolded by him.
He Chi said, "Even if your brother said something like this to me today, I would still be rude."
The words hit her hard.
She took herself too seriously. Relying on the love and care of her brothers, she thought she could act recklessly and willfully. In fact, she was always consuming the brotherhood between her brothers and them.
Zhu Qingya pinched her cheek and said, "It's okay, as long as you can be sensible in the future."
"It's too late. Let's take you back first, otherwise Uncle Ling and Aunt Mo will worry."
Xiang Chuan drove Ling Yue home, and he and Zhu Qingya did not get in.
Ling Yue walked lightly when she arrived at the door of her house. The lights were on at home. She opened the door and saw that her parents were not asleep.
"Mom and Dad, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Ling's mother said, "We woke up after a nap and saw that your room door was still open. Xiaoyue, where have you been?"
She saw that Ling Yue's face was still red, and when she got closer, she could smell of alcohol.
Without waiting for Ling's mother to ask her, Ling Yue ran over and hugged her, "Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry about me."
Ever since her brother passed away, her parents have given all their love for him to her, and are reluctant to let her suffer any grievances. However, they have been living in the pain of seeing their child die young.
Ling's mother patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. Go to bed early. Don't drink alone outside anymore. It's not safe."
"knew."
The next day, Ling Yue waited until almost noon before asking her mother to call He Chi.
When they received the call, He Chi and Jiang Yining were standing in front of the sink brushing their teeth together.
Seeing the caller ID, He Chi rinsed the foam from his mouth with water, wiped his hands with a dry towel before answering the phone.
He stood beside Jiang Yining without leaving and turned on the hands-free mode. "Aunt Mo."
"He Chi, I hope Auntie didn't disturb you. Ling Yue said she has something important to tell you, so she asked me to call you."
He Chi and Jiang Yining looked at each other.
Jiang Yining was quite surprised.
Ling's mother gave the phone to Ling Yue and she went out, but she was still worried and stood at the door for a while.
She guessed that Ling Yue was probably drunk last night and said something she shouldn't have to He Chi and his wife.
At this moment, Ling Yue took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Brother He Chi, Sister Yining, I'm sorry. I drank too much and talked nonsense last night. Sister Qingya has already taught me a lesson."
"I hope you can forgive me. I won't contact Zhao Jiajia again."
Jiang Yining glanced at He Chi and saw him nod. Then she spoke, "It's okay. I don't take it to heart."
Hearing this, Ling Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Sister Yining. I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have believed everything I heard."
Jiang Yining hummed, "I don't blame you, this matter is over."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yining looked up at He Chi and asked, "He Chi, if Ling Yue confessed her love to you before we got married, what would you do?"
He Chi said without thinking, "Of course I refuse. Can you force feelings?"
Jiang Yining pressed on, "If you reject me directly, aren't you afraid that Ling Yue will be upset?"
He Chi found her question baffling. "What does her sadness have to do with me? Besides, is she a three-year-old child?"
What she cared about was not whether Ling Yue was sad, but she wanted to test He Chi's attitude towards Ling Yue.
But from He Chi's actions and words last night and today, Jiang Yining was no longer worried.
She believed in He Chi's character, but she still felt a little uneasy, worried that He Chi would be special to Ling Yue because of Ling Yan.
He Chi noticed her uneasiness and said seriously, "Yining, I know my limits. Lingyue is just Lingyan's sister to me. I will help take care of her to the best of my ability."
"And I'm not the only one taking care of the Ling family. It's all the brothers who have been through thick and thin together."
He Chi explained to Jiang Yining, "It's just that I'm financially better off and no longer on the team, so I have more free time than them. That's why I usually stay in touch with Uncle Ling and Aunt Mo more often."
"As for Ling Yue, I really didn't pay much attention to her. She's a girl, and I don't have much patience. Most of the time, it's my sister-in-law who contacts her."
Jiang Yining raised her eyes and met He Chi's deep black eyes, "I believe you."
"I'm sorry, it's not that I mind, it's just that I'm insecure."
He Chi didn't quite understand what girls meant by "sense of security".
I've heard about this from some of my teammates who are in love.
It’s a headache just talking about it.
I should have learned from them earlier.
He asked directly, "Then how can I give you a sense of security?"
After thinking for a moment, He Chi looked at the person in front of him, remembering the sweet time last night. He asked sincerely, "Sleep more?"
Jiang Yining: “…”
This guy is really serious for less than three seconds.
He Chi told her his feelings, "I'm serious, honey, don't you think physical connection can enhance the bond between husband and wife?"
Jiang Yining didn't deny this. She blushed and asked him, "How does that relate to a sense of security?"
“No matter how deep your feelings are, you may still feel insecure.”
He Chi was at his wit's end. "I'll go ask Teacher He for advice someday."
"Don't." Jiang Yining held He Chi's hand. She didn't know how to explain to He Chi. After thinking for a long time, she said, "You've done very well. It's my problem."
She looked up at He Chi. She had waited for eight years and thought that there would be no result with He Chi.
But God made her wish come true. She was so hard-earned happiness, and she was afraid that one day it would be gone.
Jiang Yining bit her lip, choosing her words carefully. She smiled and said, "Maybe we haven't been together long enough."
She took the initiative for the first time, stood on tiptoe and kissed He Chi on the lips, "He Chi, I cherish our current life very much, so I am afraid of losing it."
