In a private room of a private restaurant.
Cheng Jinran and Qin Su both came directly from the company, while Cheng Ye hurried over from home.
When he pushed open the door, Cheng Jinran was looking through the menu. Opposite him sat a handsome man with a pair of slender peach blossom eyes that were slightly narrowed, with the corners of his eyes raised. His eyes were deep and dark, full of indifference. His thin lips made him look as cold as an iceberg, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.
But the other person is very good-looking, even more handsome than the handsome guys on TV. Even if he is cold, there will probably be many people flocking to him.
This man looked like he had walked out of a magazine, his every move like a retouched publicity photo.
Meeting those black gemstone-like eyes, Cheng Ye's originally hot body suddenly shuddered. He felt his scalp tingling. He bit the tip of his tongue, remained calm and nodded in apology: "There was a traffic jam on the road, I'm late."
"It's not too late, it's still early!" Cheng Jinran, who wanted to seize the initiative and absolutely could not let himself be in a lower position, glared at Cheng Ye with frustration and waved, "Come and sit down."
Cheng Ye nodded at Qin Su who was looking over, then sat down next to Cheng Jinran. Before he could say anything, his brother said, "I've already ordered your favorite food. Do you want anything else?"
Cheng Ye glanced at Qin Su, and a blush appeared on his face, which had turned pale due to the heat outside. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Qin, what do you like to eat?"
Cheng Jinran: "...Why do you care about him? Why don't you ask me what I like to eat?"
Cheng Ye stuck out his tongue: "Brother, just order what you like. I don't want anything else. You must have ordered everything I like." After a few words, Cheng Jinran's face changed again and again, and finally fixed on the four words "You can still be saved", but - then he watched Cheng Ye hand over the menu he handed over to Qin Su naturally, and naturally Cheng Jinran raised his hand and wanted to beat him up.
Even! My younger brother smiled ingratiatingly.
Cheng Ye is good-looking, and she doesn't look unpleasant when she makes such an expression. On the contrary, her big eyes are full of charm, her lips are pink, and the corners of her lips are slightly raised. Her lips, which are not too thick, are slightly pouting, which makes her look a bit like she is acting coquettishly, and she is extremely cute.
Cheng Jinran: “…!” Damn, why bother smiling so beautifully at that kind of person! This meal will definitely give him indigestion.
Seeing that his brother's eyes were getting more and more strange, Cheng Jinran didn't say hello. He directly took the menu back and handed it to the waiter, saying irritably: "Okay, that's all. We should respond to the national call for clean plates, understand!"
Cheng Ye: "..." I dare not say it, I dare not say it, otherwise I will be forced to understand it again!
After everyone had left, Cheng Jinran looked at Qin Su with a sullen face and said straight to the point, "Qin Su, I came to you today to ask you what you think about the engagement between the Qin and Cheng families."
Qin Su raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways. It was unclear whether he was looking at Cheng Jinran or Cheng Ye with those charming peach blossom eyes. He tapped the table with his index finger, and because the movement was so light, no sound was made. "Engagement? Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
Cheng Ye always felt that he was looking at her. The look in her eyes was indescribably strange, so she simply lowered her head and avoided his gaze.
"Sudden?" Perhaps it was because successful people all had these little tricks to show off. Cheng Jinran tapped the table with his index finger, opened his eyelids, and chuckled, "Your little lover even showed up in front of my brother to protest. Is this still considered sudden?"
If Cheng Jinran wasn't his biological brother, Cheng Ye would have fallen head over heels for him. This move was simply stunning! His hormones suddenly surged!
Qin Su frowned and asked in confusion: "What little lover?"
The tense atmosphere was about to flare up. Cheng Ye hurriedly tried to smooth things over. He grabbed Cheng Jinran's wrist and held it down before saying, "Brother, please speak properly." He curled the corners of his lips towards Qin Su and said apologetically, "Brother Qin, I'm sorry. My brother is just a little worried about me."
Qin Su looked at Cheng Ye with a less cold look than before, as if he was looking at a younger brother. His voice became softer, "The original purpose of this engagement was to show the determination of the Cheng and Qin families to cooperate. For so many years, we have strictly abided by the terms of the contract. I remember that the engagement was still a few years away, and now..."
He paused, his eyes falling on Cheng Ye's face, "Did something happen that I don't know about?"
"Don't know? My brother got a concussion from you guys and has been lying in bed for more than a week. You want to get away with it by saying you didn't know. Do you think we are fools?" Facing Cheng Ye's matter, Cheng Jinran was obviously not as relaxed as usual in the business world. God knows he wanted to jump up and smash the head of this pretentious man in front of him.
His fist was clenched so tightly that if his brother hadn't pressed hard enough, he would have swung it up.
Cheng Jinran glanced at Qin Su with disdain and said, "Don't think you can bully my brother just because he's soft-hearted. This matter has crossed my bottom line. I won't let this go unless you give me an explanation!"
"Hospitalization?" Qin Su looked at Cheng Ye worriedly, a hint of confusion appearing in his deep eyes. "Sorry, I really don't know what happened."
"You still dare to say you don't know? Are you going to find someone to confront you specifically before you give in?" Cheng Jinran was so angry that his chin was shaking.
Seeing that his brother was about to pass out from anger, Cheng Ye hurriedly grabbed Cheng Jinran's sleeve and tugged, smiling embarrassedly: "Brother Qin, don't listen to my brother's exaggeration."
Ignoring Cheng Jinran's angry glare, Cheng Ye continued, "It's not a big deal. Some time ago, I accidentally saw a diary filled with my thoughts about Brother Qin~"
At this point, Cheng Ye's face flushed in response. "After all, my engagement with Brother Qin is quite special. It involves the cooperation between the Cheng and Qin families. I asked a few more questions and had a little argument with that person. I accidentally fell down the stairs. Of course, it has nothing to do with Brother Qin. My brother was just too worried about me, so he took his anger out on me. Don't take it to heart, Brother Qin."
The wound on his head had healed, but a pink scar remained on his forehead, half covered by his bangs, and it was invisible unless you looked closely.
After saying this, Cheng Ye touched the scar with inferiority in his eyes, and pinched a strand of hair to cover it, but failed because the hair was too short.
Cheng Jinran naturally noticed his little action and became even more furious. He gasped heavily and his sharp eyes almost turned into knives, stabbing Qin Su into honeycomb coal.
Qin Su frowned, followed his hand and looked at Cheng Ye's forehead, then asked, "Who is it?"
Cheng Ye noticed him touching her forehead and quickly covered the scar. When she heard his question, a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes.
He pursed his lips and whispered, "He's a friend of mine."
Without giving Qin Su a chance to speak, Cheng Ye took a deep breath and said directly: "I asked Brother Qin out today not to bring up the past, but there is something I want to clarify..."
He opened his eyelids, revealing a pair of large, watery eyes, and fluttered his slightly long, curled eyelashes. "Brother Qin, do you have someone you like?"
After saying that, Cheng Ye hurriedly explained, "I'm not thinking about asking about Brother Qin's status. It's just that if you really have someone you like, the engagement can end early. After all... the cooperation between the Cheng and Qin families is already unbreakable and doesn't need an engagement to solidify it."
"Yes, now that you don't need the Cheng family's support, you want to kick us out?" At this time, Cheng Jinran interrupted with a cold face: "Qin Su, let's not talk about the cooperation between the two companies. Even if you think my brother is easy to talk to, it doesn't mean that we are easy to bully."
He paused for a moment, realizing he had misunderstood what he said, and added, "Of course, we won't blame your Qin family for not wanting to cancel the engagement. It's just that I don't want to hear this news from just anybody. Furthermore, your little lover is crying, making a scene, and even hanging herself to beg my brother, making it seem like we, the local tycoons, are forcibly seizing a woman from the common people."
"Qin Su, tell me, if this gets out, will my brother still find a partner?" Cheng Jinran held Cheng Ye's hand, just to show him how much Cheng Ye mattered to him.
Their family is not one of those messy families with brothers fighting each other. He only has this one precious younger brother, who is not very smart. If anyone dares to touch Cheng Ye, don't blame Cheng Jinran for being rude.
His brother is still a little princess, he just holds it in if he doesn't accept it!
"Brother~" Cheng Ye was about to explode Cheng Jinran in his heart, but he still had to give Qin Su some face. He gently tugged at Cheng Jinran's sleeve, his voice soft and gentle, like a feather landing on the tip of his heart, making him feel soft and tender. He raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Su, then said with a smile, "Don't be so excited. You're talking so much that you don't even give Brother Qin time to explain."
Tsk, what's going on? I was clearly trying to pick a fight with him, but my dear brother has been trying to sabotage me since he walked in. Cheng Jinran glared at Cheng Ye several times and almost popped his eyes out. But then he saw his precious brother looking apologetic and...shyly smiling at Qin Su!
Very shy! What... ghost?!
Qin Su explained with a serious face, "I think there is indeed a misunderstanding. I really don't have anyone I like at the moment. Although I am very sorry, I really knew nothing about the bad things that happened before. I swear, this is definitely not to shirk responsibility."
"If it's convenient." He looked at Cheng Ye and said sincerely, "Can you tell me the name of that person?"
Cheng Ye looked at Cheng Jinran embarrassedly.
Cheng Jinran rolled his eyes with his handsome face: "If you say you know nothing, then you really know nothing. Qin Su, can you pat your chest and guarantee that you and Su Bairui will not have any other thoughts under the same roof? Even if you don't, you can't tell whether he has it or not? Qin Su, our Cheng family is not unreasonable. If you really want to terminate the contract early..."
"Brother, what are you doing..." Cheng Ye became anxious when he heard Su Bairui's name. He looked at Qin Su and hurriedly tried to block Cheng Jinran's mouth, but was held down by his wrist. Cheng Jinran narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry about it, leave it to me."
