Chapter 217 Absolutely Impossible
Qu Jianhang felt utterly overwhelmed.
Yan Chengyu can be honest and upright, or he can be incorruptible and impartial.
But the image of someone who is deeply devoted to his love doesn't suit him.
A politician who has taken a political career, even if he has already reached a high position and can act without restraint, is still not suitable to be loyal to someone until death.
Let alone politics, even in business, being too sentimental is not a good thing.
Qu Jianhang has always made a conscious effort to remain rational and clear-headed.
Meeting Yan Chengyu was an unexpected event in her life.
Yan Chengyu was able to open her dormant heart and, just like Lin Xiyin's father, firmly placed a place in her heart.
At first, Qu Jianhang was resistant.
Since her lover passed away, she didn't want to have any more weaknesses.
But matters of the heart are often beyond our control.
She knew she had fallen in love with Yan Chengyu.
Even if she appears nonchalant, she can deceive others about her true feelings, but she can't deceive herself.
However, she never expected that Yan Chengyu's feelings for her were just as deep.
She originally thought that as long as she said she wanted to break up, no matter what the reason, given Yan Chengyu's status and the pride that men generally have, they would probably become the most familiar strangers in the future.
But who would have thought that Yan Chengyu would actually...
He was actually willing to give up his official position because of her?
Anyone with a modicum of ambition or a sound understanding would never have made a decision like Yan Chengyu's.
Give him another six months, why doesn't he just fly to the moon?
Qu Jianhang was genuinely angry.
She said, "Yan Chengyu, if you dare to have such thoughts, I will never speak to you again! Is it easy for the country to cultivate a cadre like you? Now that you are finally able to take charge and benefit the people, you want to step down?"
Yan Chengyu looked at her, puzzled.
She was the one who just said that...
Qu Jianhang seemed to sense his confusion and explained, "I was just joking with you!"
"Then don't joke with me. Tell me seriously what you want. I'll give you whatever I can do."
"I……"
At this moment, Qu Jianhang suddenly felt lost.
Have she been doing the right thing all this time?
She has always been a brave, fearless, and positive person.
Does the arrival of happiness mean she has to become weak and timid?
Perhaps the outcome isn't as bad as you imagined?
Even if it is bad news, with modern medicine so advanced and her money, what is there to be afraid of?
She looked up and saw Yan Chengyu's eyes.
The man's eyes were always full of affection when he looked at her.
But she knew that when he was facing others, his eyes were sharp and piercing.
This is a unique form of pampering he gives himself.
Qu Jianhang suddenly reached out and hugged his waist.
Yan Chengyu was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he hugged her even tighter.
"Yan Chengyu, promise me you'll take good care of your health, okay?" Qu Jianhang said. "I don't want to hear about you going to the hospital anymore. Even if we're not together, you need to maintain a regular schedule and eat on time, can you do that?"
"……able."
Qu Jianhang let go of him: "I have some things to take care of first. I'll contact you again when I'm done."
As she turned to leave, Yan Chengyu grabbed her wrist: "You still haven't told me who that man is. He doesn't seem like a staff member to me."
"He's a friend's son, and I treat him like a junior." Qu Jianhang said helplessly, "He's not much older than Ruan Ruan, what are you thinking?"
It's no wonder Yan Chengyu was having wild thoughts.
In today's society, as long as you have money, it's perfectly normal for a woman in her sixties or seventies to find a young man in his twenties or thirties.
An eighty-year-old man can still marry a twenty-year-old girl.
Hearing Qu Jianhang's explanation, Yan Chengyu was very happy: "I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."
"Then wait for my call."
How long will it take?
"Probably... two or three days." Qu Jianhang wasn't sure either: "Don't worry, I keep my word."
Yan Chengyu finally let her leave.
After much deliberation, Qu Jianhang decided to go to the hospital.
This time, she contacted a friend she knew well.
After seeing her previous test results, her friend immediately launched into a tirade of abuse.
There might have been nothing wrong at first, but she delayed things for almost two months, and now it's probably too late if something happens.
She was immediately taken away for further examination.
The test results weren't very optimistic; we also need to look at the blood test data.
The blood test results won't be available so quickly.
When Qu Jianhang returned home, only the servants were there.
Lin Xiyin accompanied Lin Youxing to visit the kindergarten, and Pei Muye naturally followed along.
The little one is already over three years old, and will be ready to go to kindergarten after the Chinese New Year.
Cost is not an issue; choosing a kindergarten is not actually that difficult.
After selecting a few suitable options and conducting on-site inspections, and meeting with the teacher, a decision was quickly made.
Lin Xiyin led Lin Youxing back and saw Qu Jianhang sitting on the sofa.
"Mom, you're watching TV? What are you watching? Financial news?"
"No." Qu Jianhang reached out and hugged Lin Youxing: "It's a TV series."
"What TV series is it that my mom is interested in..." Lin Xiyin looked over and smiled: "Oh, this? I haven't watched it for many years."
On television, the Monkey King is drunk, serving his monkey minions celestial fruits and fine wine.
Lin Youxing also liked it, sitting happily in her grandmother's lap, watching intently.
"Did Pei Muye go back?" Qu Jianhang asked her.
Lin Xiyin poured Lin Youxing a glass of water and let him drink a few sips: "Go back now. We've chosen a kindergarten. We'll show it to you later."
Qu Jianhang said, "Okay."
"Mom, I have to go out for dinner tonight," Lin Xiyin said. "Pei Muyi has a few friends who want me to meet them."
"You haven't seen this before?"
"We've met before..." Lin Xiyin said a little shyly, "But we're together again now."
"Go ahead," Qu Jianhang said with a smile, "Do you need Mom to help you choose your clothes?"
"It's not that formal, we'll just have a meal together," Lin Xiyin said. "I'll just wear my usual clothes."
That's what she said, but before leaving, Qu Jianhang still put a string of smooth pearls around her neck.
Lin Xiyin took off her coat, revealing an apricot-colored knit sweater underneath, which looked perfect with the pearls.
"Don't stay out too late," Qu Jianhang said as he saw her to the door. "When you come back, Mom has something to tell you."
"What is it? You have to wait until we get back to tell me." Lin Xiyin asked, "Can't we tell you now?"
"Why are you still so impatient?" Qu Jianhang smoothed her hair. "It's nothing serious, go ahead, just try not to drink."
"I won't drink it." Lin Xiyin hugged her. "Then, Mom will wait for me to come back."
After watching her leave, Qu Jianhang played with the little guy for a while longer before letting him do his homework.
It was homework assigned to him by Lin Xiyin.
The three of them had already reached a consensus.
Play when you should play, but homework must be done.
However, Lin Xiyin was sensible and wouldn't set up too many things during the winter break.
Qu Jianhang sat alone on the sofa, continuing to read Journey to the West.
Her phone rang, and she reached for it, glancing at it.
It was sent by Yan Chengyu.
He asked: "We have a three-day agreement. Can we meet in between?"
Qu Jianhang replied: No.
Yan Chengyu replied after a while: Then I'll ask every day.
Qu Jianhang said: Asking no matter how many times is useless.
Yan Chengyu: I was just reminding you because I was afraid you'd forgotten.
Qu Jianhang: I'm just getting old, I don't have Alzheimer's yet.
Yan Chengyu: Where do you look old? You're in your prime.
Qu Jianhang put down his phone and ignored him.
When an older man speaks sweet words, he can be just as charming as a young man.
We can't let this go on any longer; an old house catching fire is terrifying.
Lin Xiyin's decision to keep the appointment was something Pei Muyi had carefully considered before telling her.
In his previous marriage, it wasn't that he didn't want to introduce her to his friends.
She simply didn't want her friends to know that she was just pitifully in love with someone she didn't like.
For Pei Muye, who was always proud and arrogant, the fact that his wife didn't love him and had feelings for another man was extremely unbearable.
But he endured it for three years.
On the way to the club, Lin Xiyin used her fist as a microphone and held it to his mouth: "Let me interview you. Mr. Pei, what is the one thing you most wanted to do but didn't do during your three years of marriage?"
Pei Muye looked down at her wrist.
Her wrists were so thin, they looked like they would break if you squeezed them.
His fingers were slender and long, and his fist was small, easily held in his palm.
He grabbed her wrist, lowered his head and kissed the spot between her thumb and forefinger, and then said, "The thing I want to do most... is probably for you to take me to meet your friends, hold my arm, and tell others that I am your husband."
Lin Xiyin was taken aback.
In their shared memories, she had never imagined doing something like this.
She doesn't have many friends, and she only has two or three close confidants.
The one with the deepest affection was naturally Xiao Ruoyi.
But Xiao Ruoyi knew everything about her relationship with Pei Muyi.
At that time, she also longed to be recognized by Pei Muye. It turned out that Pei Muye was not the only one who had this thought.
She nestled in his arms, hooking her little finger around his: "Then come find me at school when school starts."
Pei Muye felt a surge of warmth and sweetness in his heart: "Okay."
As they approached the club, Pei Muye mentioned Lu Zuofan again.
“He’s changed a lot since then. I know you have issues with him, but no matter what, he and I have had such a long-standing relationship…”
“I understand,” Lin Xiyin said. “As long as the girls he’s with don’t have any objections to his attitude towards relationships, I don’t interfere with other people’s attitudes toward life.”
“You don’t know…” Pei Muye sighed, “Lu Zuofan has fallen in love with Qu Jingyou.”
"What?!" Lin Xiyin exclaimed in surprise, "When did this happen?"
“It’s been a while,” Pei Muye said, “but Qu Jingyou hasn’t given him the slightest chance.”
"He's dreaming!" Lin Xiyin gritted her teeth; "Someone like him, does he even think he can get his hands on Jingjing?"
Now Jingjing is her younger sister, they are related by blood.
Just thinking about how many women Lu Zuofan had slept with in the past, and how he's now setting his sights on Qu Jingyou, makes her want to hit him.
"Don't be angry," Pei Muye said. "He has changed a lot now, and besides, there's no way they can be together."
"It was impossible in the first place!"
Pei Muye sighed again: "Let's not mention this when we see him later."
"I don't even want to talk to him!"
