Chapter 218 How dare you?
He was just saying those things in anger.
When she actually met Pei Muyi's friends, Lin Xiyin behaved with grace and poise, acting appropriately in all situations.
She didn't say much, sitting quietly next to Pei Muye, occasionally taking his arm.
When it was inconvenient, she would pull her hand away, but usually, not long after, Pei Muye would come over and take her hand.
There weren't many overtly intimate gestures between the two, but there was a sweet and happy feeling between them.
Others were envious.
Especially Lu Zuofan.
This guy started dating as an adult, and now he's thirty. After playing around with women for over a decade, he suddenly pulled back from the brink and turned over a new leaf.
Actually, he didn't want to get involved.
After all, Pei Muyi deeply loved someone, and he could clearly see what kind of situation that ended up with him.
He felt more than once that his carefree and romantic lifestyle was the happiest thing.
But it was only after falling in love with Qu Jingyou that he understood that kind of soul-stirring thrill.
This is a physical pleasure that cannot be compared to anything else.
He certainly didn't have the chance to have intimate contact with Qu Jingyou, but several times in his dreams, he couldn't help but have such dreams, and the female protagonist was Qu Jingyou.
That kind of pleasure made him wake up in the middle of the night, gasping for breath, feeling a kind of suffocating ecstasy.
He knew he was doomed.
This is something no other woman can give him.
But he knew all too well what he was like before.
At that time, I didn't think much of it; I just felt carefree and happy.
Besides, he was just putting on an act with those people, and they were only with him for money.
When the time came and the money was sufficient, the two broke up peacefully, and Lu Zuofan began looking for his next target.
Looking back now, what normal woman could accept a man like that?
They say a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold.
That's all just talk to fool honest women.
No matter how much Lu Zuofan pursued a girl like Qu Jingyou, who came from a privileged background and was quirky and clever, she would never waver.
Lin Xiyin realized that Lu Zuofan had indeed changed.
Every time I saw him before, he was always with a different girl.
But this time, he sat there alone, expressionless, his handsome face deep and gloomy.
After dinner, the friends clamored to go to the second round of the show, but Pei Muyi put his arm around Lin Xiyin's shoulder and said, "That won't do. Yinyin and I have to go back early, after all, we still have children at home."
Lu Zuofan couldn't help but say, "You talk as if you've entered the inner sanctum."
Pei Muye said, "Even if there isn't one, people always need to have hope."
On the way back, Lin Xiyin said, "Lu Zuofan seems to have changed a lot. He talks so little now."
“Right? I told you he’d changed.” Pei Muye looked at her. “Then could you help him out and say something good about him to Jingjing?”
"How could that be!" Lin Xiyin frowned: "Putting aside his past, even if he reforms and turns over a new leaf, I can't interfere in what happens between him and Jingjing."
"Okay, okay, we won't interfere." Pei Muyi quickly reassured her, "Then... can you come home with me tonight?"
“No, my mom said she has something to tell me when I get home.” Lin Xiyin glanced at him: “I just went to your place yesterday.”
I want to be with you every day.
"Tian Tian?" Lin Xiyin nudged him. "What are you thinking about?"
"What did I think?" Pei Muye asked innocently. "I just wanted to sleep with you, I didn't mean to do anything..."
"Don't you know whether you did it or not?" Lin Xiyin glared at him. "How dare you say that?"
Pei Muye rubbed his brow bone helplessly: "I... I couldn't help myself, you can't blame me."
Lin Xiyin nodded: "Yes, it's not your fault, so I won't go."
"If not tonight, then tomorrow night..."
"Tomorrow night won't work either," Lin Xiyin said. "Distance makes the heart grow fonder. I think it's fine if we're just like before."
before?
That won't do.
But looking into Lin Xiyin's eyes, Pei Muye felt a pang of guilt.
Yes, he was quite ungrateful, but you really can't blame him. As long as Lin Xiyin was in his arms, he was like a young boy, his blood boiling, and he couldn't help but want to possess her.
Since Lin Xiyin wouldn't go back with him, he couldn't force her.
However, before parting ways, it's always good to collect some interest.
Lin Xiyin's lips were red and a little swollen from being kissed.
Lin Xiyin glared at him, grabbed her handbag, and got out of the car.
Pei Muye smiled helplessly and escorted her inside.
When she got home, Lin Youxing was already asleep, and Qu Jianhang was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
"Ruan Ruan, come here."
Lin Xiyin sat down next to her, linking her arm with hers, feeling a little embarrassed to let her see her lips.
Qu Jianhang patted the back of her hand: "Are you happy tonight? How are his friends?"
"It's fine. Actually, we've met before." Lin Xiyin asked, "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Ruanruan, Mommy said, don't be angry."
Lin Xiyin got up from her and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why am I angry?"
"It's Mom's body..."
Lin Xiyin suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"Don't be nervous," Qu Jianhang said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that Mom had a check-up before..."
As Qu Jianhang spoke, Lin Xiyin's tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Qu Jianhang quickly grabbed some tissues: "Oh dear, you child... Mom's fine, why are you crying..."
That's what they said, but seeing Lin Xiyin shed tears, Qu Jianhang's eyes also reddened.
She hadn't thought much of it before, and even if her health really did deteriorate, what she feared was the hard-won happiness she hadn't yet fully enjoyed.
What will happen to her daughter and grandson if she gets sick?
She thought more about her family and Yan Chengyu.
But she herself is truly not afraid.
But now, seeing Lin Xiyin shed tears, she couldn't help but cry too.
Lin Xiyin couldn't control her tears at all.
She knew she shouldn't be crying right now. She should be concerned about Qu Jianhang's health, asking when the test results would be available, and seeking information about possible treatment options...
But right now, her mind is a complete mess.
The happiness she felt these days felt stolen; she felt more than once that it was a dream.
Why is God so kind to her? Is this dream finally about to end?
Is God going to take all of this back?
She disagrees!
Lin Xiyin sniffed, took out her phone, and tears were still streaming down her face.
Qu Jianhang wiped away her tears while asking, "Ruanruan, what are you doing?"
“I’ll call Yiyi. Lawyer Huo’s family owns a hospital with the best doctors… Mom, let’s go to more places… for checkups…”
She was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Qu Jianhang held her in his arms.
"Silly child, the results aren't out yet, and you already have so little faith in your mother? Besides, even if the results aren't good, don't worry. The doctor said that if it's discovered early, the treatment will be more effective."
"Mom will be alright."
Lin Xiyin finally stopped crying: "I'll call Yiyi."
Qu Jianhang pressed her hand down: "Don't tell anyone else about this yet. Let's wait for the hospital results, okay?"
With teary eyes, Lin Xiyin asked her, "Does Uncle Yan know?"
After she finished asking the question, she realized what she had done and her eyes widened.
Qu Jianhang said, "He doesn't know. That's right, that's why I wanted to break up with him before."
Lin Xiyin's tears fell uncontrollably again.
She simply couldn't control herself.
She didn't notice anything wrong with Qu Jianhang's health, nor did she notice anything that troubled him.
She must have been heartbroken to break up with Yan Chengyu because of her health condition.
But she knew nothing.
Qu Jianhang slowly told her about it.
Lin Xiyin was alarmed upon hearing this: "Mom, how could you keep this from Uncle Yan and break up with him after something like this happened..."
“Me too…” Qu Jianhang sighed, “I was thinking that if I’m not healthy enough to be with him, it’s better to have a short pain than a long one.”
"Your thinking is wrong!" Lin Xiyin was furious, both angry and heartbroken. "Mom, if you hadn't told me today, I would have been really angry when I found out! No matter what happens, we'll face it together. You're my mother, and I'm your daughter. If you don't tell me anything, don't you consider me family?"
"Okay, okay, Mom was wrong," Qu Jianhang said. "Don't cry, maybe things will turn out well."
"What about Uncle Yan..."
“When the results come out, if they’re good, I’ll tell him. If they’re bad…” Qu Jianhang smiled: “Ruan Ruan, if I really am in the late stage and don’t have much time left, do you think I should tell him?”
"Mom, what do you think Uncle Yan's feelings are for you?"
Qu Jianhang said, "Perhaps... I made a mistake."
Lin Xiyin said, "If Pei Muyi is hiding something from me, Mom, I will be angry, and I will be very sad."
Qu Jianhang said, "It was Mom who made a mistake."
"So what is Mom going to do?"
"Wait for the results..."
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Qu Jianhang thought she was worried about him: "I feel the same as before. If I hadn't gone for a checkup because of a cold, I wouldn't have known it would turn out like this."
"That's good," Lin Xiyin said, taking the phone. "I'll call Uncle Yan and ask him to come pick you up."
"No..." Qu Jianhang stopped her: "Ruanruan, your Uncle Yan is busy with work..."
“I think that no matter how busy Uncle Yan is, he will still care about your affairs. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have picked you up from the airport when we returned to China.”
Qu Jianhang was helpless.
Lin Xiyin dialed Yan Chengyu's number directly.
"Uncle Yan, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Are you still working?"
Yan Chengyu put down the documents and pinched the bridge of his nose: "I'm at home, looking at documents. Ruan Ruan, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Can you come now...?"
Qu Jianhang said, "Ruan Ruan, I'll go over there. It's inconvenient for him to come out, and the driver has already gone home."
Lin Xiyin went to see Qu Jianhang.
Qu Jianhang took the phone: "Yan Chengyu, is it convenient for me to come find you now?"
Yan Chengyu immediately stood up: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"No," Qu Jianhang said. "Don't worry, I'll be there in half an hour."
Seeing that she had hung up the phone, Lin Xiyin said, "Mom, I'll come and see you off."
"Need not……"
"No, I won't." Lin Xiyin stood up. "I'll go deliver it."
Qu Jianhang had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay."
There were few cars on the road at night, so the journey was smooth.
When Lin Xiyin arrived at the building where Yan Chengyu lived, she saw the tall man.
