Chapter 297 I Promise to Marry You
Jin Que didn't return until evening.
When he returned, Jiang Ruomi had already gone back to her room.
Shen Qingshu was sitting in the living room on the first floor.
Jin Que walked in and saw her sitting alone on the sofa. He walked over, looked her up and down, and asked, "Waiting for me?"
Shen Qingshu looked up at him. "Jin Que, let's talk."
Jin Que smiled and said, "We can talk about marriage, but nothing else is needed."
“Okay.” Shen Qingshu said coldly, “I can marry you, but on the condition that our marriage registration must be done in China. In addition, I need to sign a prenuptial agreement with you, and our assets must be notarized.”
Jin Que stared at her.
The sudden softening of her attitude was somewhat unexpected.
But he soon understood.
What did Jiang Ruomi say to you?
"What could she possibly say to me?" Shen Qingshu sneered. "She's completely obsessed with love now, having your child while trying to persuade me to marry you. Jin Que, I must say, you've done a very successful job of brainwashing Jiang Ruomi."
“Ah Shu, you’ve misunderstood me.” Jin Que walked over and gently pinched Shen Qing Shu’s chin. “Everyone has a different definition of love. I think love is possession, it’s getting. But Jiang Ruomi is different. She believes love is sacrifice and fulfillment.”
“Then you and she are actually a match made in heaven.” Shen Qingshu looked at Jin Que. “You two should get married and lock each other in.”
"Unfortunately, I don't love her."
Jin Que gently rubbed Shen Qingshu's lips with his fingertips. "Ah Shu, I know you hate me now, but have you ever thought that I don't want to be like this, but I can't control my own heart!"
Shen Qingshu pushed him away and took a few steps back. "I agree to marry you, but before we get married, please respect me."
Jin Que looked at her and shook his head. "Look at you, you avoid me like the plague. You don't really want to marry me. You just want to trick me into taking you back to China. A-Shu, you're too naive."
"Jin Que, what do you want from me?" Shen Qingshu roared, unable to bear it any longer. "Why are you so determined to hold me captive?"
"If you want to blame someone, blame fate for playing tricks on you. If you hadn't passed by that road that night, if you had passed by but pretended not to hear or see anything and simply stood by and watched me die, then I would be dead. If I were dead, I wouldn't be here to haunt you now."
Shen Qingshu was so angry that her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.
Jin Que took out his phone and opened a video.
The video shows Xiao Anning and Xiao Nian'an at kindergarten.
Jin Que looked at her and said, "A-Shu, look how adorable the two children are."
It soothes the tingling sensation on the scalp.
The video was taken from a hidden angle, but the distance wasn't far.
The person taking the photos might even be in the kindergarten!
In other words, Jin Que's people can freely enter and leave the kindergarten?!
Shen Qingshu clenched her fists and stared at Jin Que, saying, "I will marry you, but you must promise me that you will not touch them."
Jin Que put away his phone. "Ah Shu, you should have done this sooner."
Shen Qingshu closed her eyes briefly. "Then when are we going back to China?"
"No rush," Jin Que said. "Let's wait a bit longer."
"Wait for what?"
Jin Que smiled but did not speak.
Shen Qingshu couldn't see through him.
My heart is in my throat.
Jin Que stayed for dinner.
At the dining table, Jiang Ruomi, Chen Qingshu, and Jin Que ate together.
The atmosphere was oppressive and eerie.
Jiang Ruomi had no pregnancy symptoms and ate and drank as usual.
On the contrary, Shen Qingshu had little appetite and ate very little.
Wang Chunmei came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of medicinal food.
“Miss Shen, this is a medicinal diet specially prepared for you by Mr. Jin. He said that you have been busy with work lately and have insufficient qi and blood. This medicinal diet can improve your symptoms.”
Shen Qingshu frowned as she looked at the medicinal food placed in front of her.
Jin Que looked at her, "Afraid I'll poison you?"
Shen Qingshu looked up at him.
She was indeed afraid.
"Qingshu, please drink it. It's all Dr. Jin's kind gesture." Jiang Ruomi looked at Shen Qingshu with a sweet smile.
Shen Qingshu glanced at her.
Then, she picked up the bowl of medicinal food and drank it all in one gulp.
The medicinal cuisine has a faint herbal flavor and isn't too unpleasant to drink.
After finishing her drink, she placed the empty bowl on the table, stood up, and said coldly, "I'm full. I'm going back to my room to rest."
Jin Que did not stop him.
After returning to her room, Shen Qingshu rushed to the bathroom and closed the door.
Soon, the sound of vomiting came from the bathroom...
A few minutes later, Shen Qingshu opened the door and came out of the bathroom.
She looked up and unexpectedly met Jin Que's eyes—
Shen Qingshu was stunned.
Jin Que looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "A-Shu, it's not good to vomit up the medicinal food. Luckily, I asked Aunt Wang to make an extra bowl."
Shen Qingshu looked at him in disbelief.
Jin Que took a few steps forward and handed a new bowl of medicinal food to Shen Qingshu. "Be good, drink it."
A chill ran down my back.
This is not medicinal food, it's clearly poison!
"Jin Que, do you have to treat me like this?" She looked at Jin Que, her voice trembling slightly. "Fu Baisheng treated your mother like a guinea pig, and now you're going to treat me like one too?"
"A-Shu is talking nonsense again. This is medicinal cuisine." Jin Que smiled gently. "You used to treat your health here. If I wanted to poison you, would you still be alive and healthy?"
Calm and soothing, my heart feels like it's soaking in a vast glacier.
That chill penetrated to the very bone.
In the past... she and Xiao Anning both took medicine prescribed by Jin Que to regulate their bodies.
If Jin Que had already decided to poison her back then, wouldn't she and her daughter have been...?
“Ah Shu, you don’t need to doubt me.” Jin Que looked at her seriously. “I just want to have you, but I won’t hurt you. I know you already know that I tampered with the hawthorn candy.”
Shen Qingshu's eyes widened. "Jin Que! You finally admitted it?! How could you do this? The child is innocent!"
“It’s just a little plaster cast, it won’t cause any harm to the child.” Jin Que stared at Shen Qingshu, his eyes filled with malice. “Ashu, you don’t need to be afraid of me. As long as you cooperate with me obediently, I guarantee that nothing like this will happen again.”
Shen Qingshu lowered her eyes, staring at the medicinal food in front of her.
A moment later, she looked up at Jin Que and said, "Jin Que, I can't beat you. I accept my fate. But I have only one request: please don't hurt my child."
Jin Que smiled and said, "That depends on how far you can go."
Shen Qingshu took the bowl of medicinal food, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
Jin Que watched her finish drinking, took the bowl and placed it on the bedside table, then put his arm around her shoulder, saying, "It's getting late, you should rest."
Shen Qingshu tensed up. "Before we get our marriage certificate, I hope you will respect me."
"Don't worry, I'll leave once I've watched you fall asleep."
Shen Qingshu was on the verge of a breakdown.
Jin Que now exudes a calm madness.
She was imprisoned, unable to contact the outside world, and unable to confront them directly, for fear that Jin Que would take his anger out on her two children.
She forcibly suppressed all her emotions.
Her nerves were on edge; she lay on the bed like a prisoner, with Jin Que watching over her.
Shen Qingshu thought she would have insomnia, but for some reason, not long after lying down, her consciousness began to become hazy.
She knew perfectly well that the problem lay with that bowl of medicinal food...
