As soon as Xiao Yunqi left, Shen Qingyu drove the donkey cart away.
Cheng Ping hurriedly called out, "Hey, take me with you!"
Shen Qingyu glanced at him: "What's the use of bringing you along?"
Before Cheng Ping could reply, Shen Qingyu shouted, "Let's go!"
The skinny donkey pulled the cart away.
Cheng Ping: "..."
I was rejected!
Cheng Ping suddenly regretted getting too carried away with pretending to be weak.
If I were full of energy and vitality, Shen Qingyu would definitely not abandon me.
Seeing that the donkey cart was about to leave the courtyard, Cheng Ping could no longer hold back and took off after it.
Shen Dasong, who had just returned from delivering goods, was dumbfounded: This movement doesn't look like that of a bedridden patient at all.
Shen Qingyu wanted to abandon Cheng Ping, but the guy kept chasing after her while howling and screaming, which annoyed her.
Left with no other choice, she stopped the car and let Cheng Ping get in.
As soon as Cheng Ping got into the carriage, he was panting and put on a fawning smile: "Miss Qingyu, how about I drive?"
Shen Qingyu glanced at her skeptically: "Can you do it?"
"Look at what you're saying! How can a man say..." No way.
Swallowing back the last two words, Cheng Ping patted his chest and said, "Just trust me this once."
Shen Qingyu tossed the whip to him and went to sit on the cart, lost in thought.
Cheng Ping drove skillfully, making conversation as he went: "Miss Qingyu, are we going to town to buy groceries?"
"Um."
"I think the green beans are quite delicious this season..."
Before Cheng Ping could finish speaking, Shen Qingyu frowned and asked, "Why do you call me Miss Qingyu?"
"Hehe..." Cheng Ping smiled mysteriously, "I heard you and Brother Xiao had a fight, and you two got divorced."
Shen Qingyu asked curiously, "Are you happy about our divorce?"
Cheng Ping paused, "No, that's not true..."
"Then why are you laughing like that?"
Cheng Ping looked at the distant mountains, then at the nearby trees, and then at the skinny donkey in front of him. Suddenly, he felt a surge of courage: "I am indeed quite happy."
"Why?"
As Cheng Ping let the skinny donkey walk forward on its own, he turned his head and looked intently at Shen Qingyu: "Because I love you."
Shen Qingyu said with a look of regret, "Xiao Yunqi is really unlucky to have a brother like you."
Cheng Ping froze: "It wasn't me who told you to get a divorce. It's just that... you got a divorce first, and only then did I dare to say anything."
"Does Xiao Yunqi know that you love me?" Shen Qingyu asked calmly.
"You should...know...right?" Otherwise, he wouldn't have been beaten up one after another.
"He knew all this, yet he still entrusted my safety to you?"
What's the difference between this and "entrusting the fish to the cat"?
Cheng Ping was embarrassed again.
“Probably… he had no other choice.” Cheng Ping’s face flushed slightly, a rare occurrence.
Shen Qingyu lowered her eyes slightly: So, knowing that he was in danger, Xiao Yunqi knew that Cheng Ping might try to poach him, but he still chose to prioritize his own safety.
He rushed to the capital to eliminate the danger and asked Cheng Ping to protect him?
This is really...
Shen Qingyu's heart stirred slightly, and an indescribable feeling welled up inside her.
"Could you tell me about your relationship with Xiao Yunqi?" Shen Qingyu asked, seemingly casually.
She needs to know where the danger comes from.
Cheng Ping hesitated for a long time before vaguely saying, "Xiao Yunqi has an extraordinary background. His elders know about your existence and want to kill you."
Shen Qingyu: "..."
"So he went to the capital to nip the danger in the bud?"
"You could say that," Cheng Ping nodded.
Shen Qingyu remained calm, a demeanor that earned Cheng Ping's admiration.
Any woman would panic if she knew she was in danger, right?
Shen Qingyu, however, seemed completely unaffected.
Her composure only fuels people's curiosity.
The two fell silent for a moment.
Cheng Ping was unwilling to give up: He had finally mustered the courage to bring it up, but now he was giving up halfway through...
“Miss Qingyu, since you and Xiao Yunqi are already divorced, I…” Is there any chance?
Shen Qingyu glanced at him and said, "I'm not interested in you."
Cheng Ping retorted, "Interests can be cultivated. I'm a lot of fun! You can give me a try!"
"I don't want to get married again, and I don't want to find anyone else."
"Are you worried that I won't love my three children? Don't worry, I will treat them well."
Shen Qingyu frowned: "Don't you understand? It's me who doesn't want to marry a man. It's not that I'm worried that marrying a man will be bad for the child."
Cheng Ping: "..."
Why do I find it so difficult to talk to Shen Qingyu?
It's like talking to a brick wall!
Seeing Cheng Ping looking blank and dazed, Shen Qingyu sighed and decided to make things clear.
"Tell me, why do I, a mother of three, absolutely need to find a man?"
Cheng Ping: "You're a woman raising three children all by yourself, what kind of life is this..."
Shen Qingyu shrugged: "I can earn money and support my child."
“But you are a woman with three children. Even if you have money, you are easily coveted by others.”
"So you mean you can protect me?"
“Yes!” Cheng Ping nodded frantically.
Shen Qingyu smiled: "If Xiao Yunqi's elders come to take these three children away, can you help me protect them?"
"..." Cheng Ping hesitated for a moment.
That guy's elders are too powerful. I'm already doing well enough to protect Shen Qingyu, not to mention the three children...
It's a bit risky.
"So you weren't confident you could protect me and the three children, were you?" Shen Qingyu smiled calmly.
Cheng Ping hesitated for a moment: "News came from the capital that they can't let the three children wander outside. They want to... leave the mother and keep the children."
