Chapter 105 The more I understand you, the more I love you.
The three of them stayed in the room until 10 p.m., when finally the two men couldn't stand it anymore and came over to take their wives away.
Song Mingxu, holding Lin Tingwan's hat, urged, "Let's go home."
Lin Tingwan tried to struggle a bit more, but Song Mingxu silenced her with a single sentence.
Song Mingxu: "Don't disturb their married life. Let's go home and live our own lives."
Lin Tingwan blushed for a moment, then slowly packed her things and left.
Lu Jinyuan moved closer to Jiang Qingying, put his hand on her waist, and asked gently, "Aren't you tired from staying up so late?"
"Not bad." Jiang Qingying yawned. "I'm really sleepy, though."
Looking at the two couples in front of her, Nan Chun felt a pang of jealousy. She felt like she was being force-fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and urged them to leave, saying, "Let's go, let's all get some rest."
Jiang Qingying: "Then we're leaving. If you need anything, just send me a message, or you can go downstairs and find the housekeeper."
Nan Chun nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Lu Jinyuan raised his chin slightly to Nan Chun as a greeting, "Make yourself at home, feel free to do as you please."
"Oh, okay." Nan Chun felt flattered.
Jiang Qingying was amused by her reaction, patted her on the back, and left.
On her way back to the bedroom, Jiang Qingying turned and smiled at Lu Jinyuan.
"What are you laughing at?" Lu Jinyuan asked.
Jiang Qingying shook her head. "It's nothing, I just found it a bit funny."
Lu Jinyuan frowned. "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Qingying explained, "What I mean is, it's such an ordinary sentence, yet it can make others feel fear. Your sudden display of human warmth is a bit scary. Mr. Lu, are you really not going to change your icy demeanor?"
"Why should I change?" Lu Jinyuan glanced at her. "As long as I don't give you the cold shoulder."
Jiang Qingying understood.
Indeed, when someone has too much power and status, their personality has remained unchanged for many years. They are cold and indifferent to everything, and their sudden warm welcome is even more frightening.
Whatever, I was just saying it casually anyway.
After exchanging a few words, we unknowingly walked into the bedroom.
Lu Jinyuan asked her, "Are you washing your hair tonight?"
Jiang Qingying shook her head: "I don't want to wash anymore, I'll just take a shower and go to sleep."
They showered together, but they were both very well-behaved; it was just a simple shower and chat.
The night was deep and foggy. The bright incandescent light in the bathroom shone on the two of them, making their skin appear as white and translucent as jade. Jiang Qingying stood in front of the mirror, clipping her hair up with a shark clip. She glanced at herself in the mirror, paused for two seconds, and then admired her beauty before removing her makeup.
I wore makeup all day, and I actually feel like I look better than when I first put it on.
Her light brown eye makeup, especially the one covered in glitter, was so beautiful that she didn't want to take it off. She exclaimed, "Why do I always feel that my makeup is most beautiful before I remove it at night?"
"Is it possible that it's because of the lighting?" Lu Jinyuan stated a fact in a flat and even tone.
Jiang Qingying was speechless and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Lu Jinyuan coaxed her, "You look good even without makeup, so don't be reluctant to take it off."
These words, though ordinary, still made her happy. Jiang Qingying was about to speak when she heard his voice behind her.
"You can't sleep with your makeup on, can you?"
"......"
"Not removing it is bad for your skin."
"I've finally realized that every time you try to coax someone, you say nice things at first, but then you revert to your old ways."
Lu Jinyuan smiled and didn't say anything more. He picked up a cotton pad and found something labeled "makeup remover" among the pile of bottles and jars on the table. However, he found two bottles.
One bottle contains makeup remover water, and the other contains makeup remover oil.
He asked which one to use.
Jiang Qingying patiently explained to him, "Makeup remover oil is more effective at removing makeup than makeup remover water. I usually don't wear heavy makeup for everyday wear, so makeup remover water is enough. I only use makeup remover oil if I'm attending a party and wearing heavy makeup."
Lu Jinyuan nodded, indicating that he had made a mental note of it.
He used the makeup remover as Jiang Qingying had taught him, saying, "Close your eyes, I'm going to remove your eye makeup."
Jiang Qingying raised her head, obediently closed her eyes, and felt his gentle and careful movements on her face. "You can rub it with a little force, otherwise it won't be completely removed."
"good."
Jiang Qingying suddenly remembered Nan Chun's matter, thinking that Lu Jinyuan and Liang Qiqi were closer, "When do you think Liang Qiqi will find out about Nan Chun's matter?"
"It'll be either tomorrow or the day after," Lu Jinyuan replied confidently.
"Is his lousy movie finally finished?"
Although Nan Chun deliberately kept it a secret, Jiang Qingying still had some issues with Liang Qiqi. Even with logic and reason in mind, she would still side with Nan Chun and dislike Liang Qiqi, the man whose girlfriend was in trouble but who wasn't there.
Lu Jinyuan sensed her resentment and chuckled, saying, "I don't know when he finished filming, but Nan Chun has been hiding these past few days, not leaving the house or turning on her phone. He must have noticed something was wrong."
Jiang Qingying thought about it and agreed, "Do you think Liang Qiqi, with his personality, would really do what Nan Chun said?"
"Yes." Lu Jinyuan answered firmly again. After removing her makeup, he squeezed some face wash onto her face and said while washing his hands, "Liang Qiqi cherishes her very much. It's not impossible for him to give up his beloved career for the woman he loves."
"No wonder Nan Chun avoids him."
Lu Jinyuan stared at her, motionless.
Jiang Qingying looked at him with her face covered in foam, and after a long while she said, "I think this kind of love can be a bit stressful."
"If it were me, I would do the same."
The low, magnetic sound drifted through the empty bathroom, the sound waves slowly circling before returning to Jiang Qingying's heart.
Jiang Qingying washed the foam off her face, walked past him to the shower room, and her soft voice followed behind her.
“But I don’t want such a great love. The more precious it is, the easier it is to be afraid of losing it. Moreover, with great power comes great responsibility. Love should be a seasoning in life, not the main ingredient.”
Lu Jinyuan followed her, took off his clothes, turned on the shower, and warm water flowed down from his head, instantly filling the bathroom with steam.
"So what is the main ingredient in your life?"
“Me too.” Jiang Qingying poked his chest with her fingertip. “And you too. You said that day that you would give everything for me, without hesitation. I was very touched, but I don’t want you to do that.”
“If one day I end up in Nan Chun’s situation, or even worse, I will certainly not refuse your help, but I hope to take on most of the responsibility myself. We should both be responsible for our own lives and be in control of our own lives, and at the same time, we do not want to change each other’s lives.”
Jiang Qingying's business acumen is undeniable, but the business world is unpredictable. Some people see skyscrapers rise in an instant, while others can turn them into ruins overnight. We've seen far too many cases of people losing everything and becoming destitute.
So her thinking wasn't self-pity, but rather a reasonable degree of pessimism in daily life.
“Hmm, I understand.” Lu Jinyuan gently pinched her cheek and smiled, “Indeed, Jiang Qingying’s ‘Qing’ is the ‘Qing’ of being clear-headed, independent in spirit, self-disciplined and free, and shining brightly in her own field.”
He said, "The more I understand you, the more I love you."
She laughed and replied, "Then you've really struck gold."
