Lan Qingyue ultimately refused without offering a convincing reason and fled in disarray.
For the next week, Lan Qingyue did not see Qi Yu again. She only learned on the day she returned to China that Qi Yu had gone on a business trip again.
She dragged her lightly sized suitcase back. There was a person sitting at the door, wearing a fluffy hat and fluffy gloves pressed against his face, looking around.
Winter has returned to F City. The biting wind whips across your face like icy knives, stinging to the bone.
The next moment, a warm embrace enveloped Lan Qingyue. "Sister-in-law, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you here all morning."
Chu Ying hugged Lan Qingyue affectionately for a moment and offered to help her carry her suitcase.
"Your gift is in your suitcase, take it yourself."
Lan Qingyue said without turning her head that she needed to go upstairs and take a hot shower first.
Chu Ying ordered her some freshly arrived takeout, steaming hot. "Sister-in-law, are you hungry? Eat first. These are all your favorite dishes, and they're still warm. Eat them to warm your stomach."
Chu Ying diligently peeled lobsters for Lan Qingyue.
Lan Qingyue didn't touch her chopsticks. She raised an eyebrow at Chu Ying for a moment and asked, "There's no such thing as an unsolicited favor. So, what is it?"
She and Chu Ying had quite a bit of contact. During the year she was abroad, Chu Ying would send her messages every few days to chat about the outside world. Over time, their relationship became more like that of friends than sisters-in-law.
"Oh, sister-in-law, I'm so embarrassed by what you're saying." Chu Ying lowered her head, but couldn't hide her big smile. "I'm just... just... curious."
"What are you curious about?" Lan Qingyue happily enjoyed the tender white shrimp meat that Chu Ying offered to her mouth.
Not spicy.
Delicious.
tasty.
"Hehe... Sister-in-law, I heard... I heard... someone proposed to you!"
Lan Qingyue overreacted and immediately denied it, "Who said that? That's nonsense."
Chu Ying shook her head and peeled the shrimp seriously, saying with a touch of arrogance, "Oh, sister-in-law, don't hide it from me anymore, I know everything."
Wasn't it just her and Qi Yu who knew about that night? Could there have been a third person who saw it?
That can't be!
Based on her understanding of Qi Yu, she knew that Qi Yu would never invite people to watch. If she refused, wouldn't he lose face completely?
As proud and aloof as he is, he would never do such a thing.
"Who told you that?"
"Sister-in-law, never mind how I know, just tell me why you refused?"
Chu Ying took off her disposable gloves and used her two fair hands to pinch Lan Qingyue's sleeves in a coquettish manner.
"Sister-in-law, don't tell me there's no love between you two. I can tell with my eyes closed that he's interested in you, and you're interested in him too!"
Who's interested in him?
I just like his face.
"Chu Ying, you don't understand adult matters."
"What don't I understand? I'm almost an adult, don't treat me like a child, I know a lot."
"Chu Ying!"
"Sister-in-law!" Chu Ying shoved another lobster into Lan Qingyue's hand, then launched into a rapid-fire analysis, "Don't tell me it's because of my brother. Sister-in-law, let me say something, and you might not like what I'm about to say, but my brother is gone. Why are you clinging to this illusory marriage?"
They've been guarding this position for four years straight!
"Your parents have no right to confine you, and you don't have to be trapped in the Chu family for the rest of your life. You have the right to pursue happiness, you have the right to embrace happiness. Sister-in-law, it's been three years, haven't you met anyone who makes your heart flutter?"
