Chapter 72 Chapter 72 "Do you want to divorce me?"...
Liang Siyu paused for a moment, "I'll send it to you."
"Okay," Qin Yi hung up the phone immediately and waited for his message.
I don't know when the drizzle outside stopped. The crescent moon was like a hook, and the moonlight was like water, emitting a faint silver glow, peaceful and profound.
It was almost nine o'clock when Pei Lanqing sent away the client he was meeting. He picked up his mobile phone to check the time and noticed that he had not received a reply to the two calls he had made this afternoon.
Lin Qianyuan had a habit of setting his phone to Do Not Disturb while working. He remembered her saying that sometimes she'd remember to eat after work, and sometimes she didn't. He lowered his brows, quickly put away his phone, and planned to make a detour to the dessert shop before heading home.
This office building is located in the business center. While waiting for the red light, Pei Lanqing inadvertently looked at the shopping mall on the side of the road. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, which became more and more intense, like a seed that had already taken root in fertile soil, sprouting and starting to grow, unable to be suppressed.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Pei Lanqing returned home. The moment he opened the door, the room was dark and his breathing stopped.
He placed the bag on the dining table and walked to the studio in the moonlight. He turned on the light, but did not see the familiar figure sitting in front of the easel. His raised hand slowly fell to his side, and his heart felt empty.
Pei Lanqing stood where he was.
The phone on the dining table kept ringing, gradually pulling him back to the real world. He slowly closed the studio door and walked over to answer the call.
Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked God. She quickly adjusted her breathing and asked, "Hello, are you Miss Lin's husband?"
Pei Lanqing raised his eyes slightly, "Lin Qianyuan?"
"Yes, Miss Lin Qianyuan."
"Yes, I am."
Qin Yi looked towards the table and confirmed that the person was still asleep. She closed the bathroom door and took the initiative to introduce herself, "I am Qin Yi, and I am also Ms. Lin's assistant. I got your contact information from another boss. His name is Liang Siyu."
"Ms. Lin is drunk, and now..." Qin Yi was thinking about how to say it clearly in one breath, but he heard the person on the other side directly ask: "Address."
There was suddenly some movement outside the door. Qin instinctively covered the receiver of his mobile phone and quickly finished his report.
Pei Lanqing went to the entrance to change his shoes and picked up his car keys. "Ms. Qin, I should be there in about twenty minutes." He closed the door and pressed the elevator button. "Please help me keep an eye on her and prevent her from coming into contact with any dangerous items."
When she is in a bad mood, she likes to hurt her hands with things.
Qin Yi quickly responded: "Okay."
The elevator door opened and Pei Lanqing walked straight into the elevator. "Thank you," he said to her, then hung up the phone and waited for the elevator to go down.
Qin Yi glanced at the phone screen, wondering why he was so polite. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a wine bottle breaking. She put the phone in her pocket and opened the small door of the bathroom. "Ms. Lin."
Qin Yi exclaimed in surprise, finally understanding why the person on the other end of the phone said that.
She watched her pick out piece after piece of glass from a pile of broken glass, hold them in her palm, and then put them down with a look of disgust, as if comparing which piece was sharper.
Lin Qianyuan noticed her presence and the next second he looked straight at her with a dark and unclear look in his eyes.
Qin Yi walked forward with his head held high, not daring to touch her. He could only stretch out his hand and try to speak: "Ms. Lin, the thing in your hand is too dangerous, please give it to me."
"You want it?"
Lin Qianyuan was not very willing to give it to her, but instead held it even tighter.
After a few seconds, she used this hand to support her chin, her lips curled up, her posture lazy and leisurely, "Why were you hiding in there just now?"
Qin Yi raised his head. The person in front of him didn't look calm, but her eyes were full of vigilance. He didn't have the courage to lie, so he told her everything.
Lin Qianyuan listened quietly, said "oh", put down his hand, and then turned his face to the side to sleep.
Qin Yi sighed silently in her heart and carefully cleaned up the glass fragments on the ground. She counted the time on the clock on her mobile phone and finally decided to wait for someone outside the box.
The smell of alcohol was strong in here, just as it had been when she first stepped in this afternoon.
She was supposed to pack her luggage, but she was not at home. She found the box according to the address on the phone, but when she opened the door, she saw her lying on the table drinking.
Qin Yi has been with her for such a long time, but this is the first time he sees her like this.
It's not that I don't drink at all. I always clink glasses and say hello at banquets, but I have never been drunk.
She had been sitting here the entire time, and Lin Qianyuan didn't let her leave or stay. He only took the initiative to speak to her and said, "Are you sure you can handle the consequences of breaching the contract on your own?"
Qin Yi was surprised, but still quickly replied: "Yes."
They helped her get a work visa, and she took the job. She wanted to learn a little bit about everything, and luckily the person in front of her didn't find her annoying and answered all her questions.
Lin Qianyuan nodded and tapped the wine glass with her fingers. After a few seconds, she smiled at her and said, "At worst, I can go find Liang Siyu."
Qin Yi was confused and tried to ask more questions, but she was obviously not in the mood to answer, so he agreed, "Okay."
The scent of agarwood in the corridor of the club is faint. It is late at night and the lights are dim, casting a gentle veil over the ancient paintings on the walls on both sides, making them look ancient and mysterious.
Qin Yi looked at the time and saw that twenty minutes were almost up. She didn't delay and immediately walked towards the gate.
When she arrived at the door of the club, she suddenly realized that she had no idea what Miss Lin's husband looked like. She had only seen his back. When she was struggling with whether to go back to the box, someone passed by her.
He has a gentle and handsome appearance, and his clothes are elegant and noble, which makes it difficult to conceal his scholarly air. At the same time, he seems a bit distant, and I dare not approach him easily.
Qin Yi turned his head and looked at his back. He faintly heard him confirming the location of the box with the staff, and his inner thoughts were confirmed.
She chased after him and led him to the box.
Before opening the door, Qin Yi's mind turned a corner and he took two steps back, "I'll go back first."
Pei Lanqing nodded politely and said, "Thank you."
He opened the door and went in alone.
The box was dark, with broken glass scattered all over the floor, reflecting a faint, shattered light. When the door was closed, the strong and suffocating smell of alcohol hit me in the face, mixed with a faint but not unnoticeable smell of blood.
Pei Lanqing found the figure beside the sofa, walked over, bent down and called softly, "Lin Qianyuan."
Lin Qianyuan raised his head and looked at him without blinking.
Pei Lanqing studied her face in the dim light, then smiled softly and asked gently, "Do you recognize me?"
Lin Qianyuan didn't say anything, her eyes suddenly turned red, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and she opened her arms towards him.
Pei Lanqing leaned over and hugged her, jokingly saying, "How dare you hug someone so casually when you don't even know me?"
Lin Qianyuan put her arms around his neck, buried her head in his shoulder, and said angrily, "Yeah."
Pei Lanqing held her waist and smelled her body closely, only then did he understand where the bloody smell came from.
He turned his head to the side, and saw bloodstains of varying shades on her fair and clean arm. He looked down at the table and turned to look at her, "Does it hurt?"
It was the height of summer, and she was wearing a sleeveless long dress today and had been sleeping on broken glass.
Pei Lanqing frowned deeply, held her wrist, and tried to observe the wound carefully.
The drunk man had no power to resist and obediently let him go, arms outstretched, allowing him to observe.
Pei Lanqing's brows tightened as he looked at her. "Lin Qianyuan."
He still couldn't help but call her name, but his voice was very soft, trying hard to suppress the blame, so it sounded more like pity.
Pei Lanqing touched them one by one with his fingertips, but due to limited conditions, he could not completely confirm that there was nothing buried deep inside.
He draped the coat that was casually draped over his arm over her shoulders, and then picked up all the debris on the table and put it into the trash can.
After doing all this, he squatted in front of her, looked up at her eyes, and said softly, "I'm going to check out now. You stay here and wait for me. Don't move, okay?"
Lin Qianyuan's hand, which was resting on her legs, grabbed his. "Can't we go together?"
Pei Lanqing smiled, stood up slightly to smell her scent, and said leisurely: "It's a bit inconvenient to bring you along."
She drank a lot and probably couldn't even walk.
Lin Qianyuan didn't let go. She blinked slightly and tears fell.
Pei Lanqing sighed and wiped her tears helplessly, "Are you really going?"
Lin Qianyuan continued to shed tears, choking slightly, "Then I won't go. Will you come back?"
"meeting."
Lin Qianyuan's grip became tighter and tighter. Pei Lanqing glanced down and, as if taking the initiative, closed the distance between them. He placed his other hand soothingly on the back of her neck. Without exerting much strength, he pushed her towards him and kissed her lips with his head tilted back.
The day's separation anxiety melted into this kiss, and the momentary unease of turning on the studio light made it less gentle and more brutal. She responded by entwining her tongue with his, holding onto it, and occasionally biting him hard, with all her might, as if venting her emotions.
The breathing of both of them became a mess in an instant.
Pei Lanqing rested his hand against her forehead, his breathing unsteady. He closed his eyes and smiled softly, "Lin Qianyuan, I will be back."
"Yeah," Lin Qianyuan let go of his hand, leaned his face into the crook of his neck, rubbed it twice, and then spoke vaguely: "Pei Lanqing, I want to go home."
Pei Lanqing hugged her and coaxed her gently, "Okay, we'll go home soon."
Lin Qianyuan let him go and stayed here alone.
Not long after, Pei Lanqing came back to pick her up. She stretched out her hands to him, not wanting him to hold her or carry her on his back. She insisted on walking out by herself. It was not that she couldn't walk, but she was drunk and couldn't stand steadily.
Pei Lanqing smiled helplessly, raised his hands to hold her waist, tried his best to support her body and lend her strength.
The night breeze in summer is not noisy, but it contains endless stuffiness.
Lin Qianyuan came out of the club and suddenly stopped, muttering to himself and asking him to carry him on his back again.
"Okay," Pei Lanqing supported her and asked her to stand up. He walked in front of her and motioned her to come up.
Lin Qianyuan lay on his back, his chin resting on his shoulder. He remained still, but the mumbling sound never stopped. He only said his name, "Pei Lanqing."
"Well, I'm here." Pei Lanqing turned his head slightly.
Lin Qianyuan ignored him, hugged his neck, and chanted to herself, "Pei Lanqing, Pei Lanqing."
Pei Lanqing smiled, put his face close to hers, and responded softly without being bothered.
When they reached the car, he let her down, opened the passenger door, protected her head, watched her get in and sit down, then fastened her seat belt and closed the door.
Lin Qianyuan leaned his head against the car window with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping.
Pei Lanqing set up the air conditioner and drove home without disturbing her. On the way, he saw her frowning and worried that she was motion sickness, so he lowered the window on his side slightly to allow air circulation.
Lin Qianyuan naturally turned her head to face the window, suddenly opened her eyes, and her gaze fixed on the side of the road, refusing to move away even half an inch. After a long time, she closed her eyes again and let out a light breath.
The car just arrived at the underground garage.
Lin Qianyuan gripped the blade in his palm with a little more force, and the stinging sensation immediately spread throughout his body.
Pei Lanqing parked the car, thinking she was still asleep. Just as he was about to carry her back home, he saw her open her eyes and look into his eyes. "Pei Lanqing."
She started calling him that again, and Pei Lanqing smiled and agreed, "I'm here."
Lin Qianyuan handed him his hand and said, "Hold my hand."
Pei Lanqing did as she was told, "Okay, I'll hold your hand." He led her out of the car, closed the door, and walked towards the elevator with her.
Lin Qianyuan held his hand for a while, but was not satisfied with it, so she changed to holding his arm, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the elevator, she leaned limply against him and complained quietly that she had a headache.
Pei Lanqing raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said with a look of distress in his eyes: "You will feel much better after drinking some honey water when you get home."
"Do you do it?"
"Yeah, I do."
When they reached the floor, Lin Qianyuan walked out of the elevator and followed him into the house, eagerly waiting for the glass of honey water.
Pei Lanqing adjusted the water temperature to just right, adding some cold water if it was too hot, and some hot water if it was too cold, then added honey and handed it to her.
Lin Qianyuan took two sips and then pushed the cup away, raised her arm, and said in a delicate voice, "Pei Lanqing, it hurts here."
Pei Lanqing left her alone on the sofa and went to find the medicine box. After finding it, he took off her coat and put his hand on her arm to check if there were any glass fragments buried in the wound.
Fortunately, they were all small wounds, not many and not deep.
He breathed a sigh of relief and disinfected it with iodine.
"Does it still hurt?"
Lin Qianyuan stretched out his arm and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Forest……"
Lin Qianyuan lowered her head to watch him treat the last wound, raised her eyes, and interrupted him, "Pei Lanqing, I want to sleep." After saying that, she opened her arms, "Hold me."
Pei Lanqing could only swallow the words he hadn't asked. He put away the disinfection tools and smiled gently, "Okay, I'll hold you."
He lowered his hand across her knees and held her up steadily. She hid her face in his chest, listened quietly to his heartbeat, and clenched the thing in her palm.
Lin Qianyuan was put on the bed and covered with a quilt. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
Pei Lanqing turned on the bedside lamp, used the little light to go into the bathroom, and then returned to the bed with her toiletries.
Lin Qianyuan simply brushed her teeth, and before she could say anything else, he took the used toiletries to the bathroom, and when he came out, he was holding a towel in his hand.
Wet with hot water.
Pei Lanqing wiped her face carefully, attentively and seriously. After wiping, he looked at her and said, "It's not dirty, no need to wash. I don't dislike you."
Lin Qianyuan turned his head away, slid down, and buried his face in the quilt, perfectly hiding the embarrassment of having his thoughts exposed, and replied vaguely: "Yeah."
Pei Lanqing tucked the quilt in for her and kissed her forehead, "Go to sleep."
Lin Qianyuan closed his eyes, opened them again the next second, reached out and held his hand, "Won't you come with me?"
Pei Lanqing couldn't help but smile, "With you." He put her hand under the quilt and explained patiently, "But I have to take a shower first, you go to bed first."
Lin Qianyuan turned his back and said nothing.
Not long after, the desk lamp on her side was turned off, and the room fell into endless darkness. She closed her eyes, and the tear in her eye socket slid down.
When there was light again, she was surrounded by the fresh scent of shower gel. He held her in his arms and gently patted her back to coax her to sleep.
Lin Qianyuan closed his eyes tightly and held back his tears.
Pei Lanqing patted her gently from time to time. As he heard her breathing become calmer, the movements of his hands also slowed down.
He hadn't yet asked why she was feeling down, but besides that, as long as it was her, it was fine. Her talents were so vast, they shouldn't be confined to one place. Just like time, it couldn't stand still, it had to keep moving forward. His only regret was that he'd never heard her say she loved him. But if he looked into it, he had no regrets; he could sense it.
Pei Lanqing turned off the bedside lamp and prepared to go to sleep.
The summer rain outside the house started falling again, and the rain became heavier. The drizzle gradually turned into heavy rain, crackling against the windows.
"Do you want to divorce me?" The person next to him suddenly approached him at this moment.
At the same time, lightning and thunder flashed outside the window, and the rumbling thunder cut through the sky. A few inches away from her neck reflected a faint dark light, overlapping with the light in her light-colored pupils, full of resentment and anger.
She had clearly emphasized to him that he should always like her.
Lin Qianyuan was used to cutting paintings with a blade, and his fingertips were clenched so hard that they turned white. Tears welled up in his eyes, dripping onto his chest and piercing his heart.
Pei Lanqing instinctively raised his hand, but when he reacted, he put it down again. He didn't hide, but raised his eyes and stared into her eyes. "Lin Qianyuan, do you like me?"
