Chapter 266 Are You Afraid of My Life or My Death?
"Why are you here..." Chen Qing leaned against the door and looked at him from a distance.
"Unhappy?"
She slid along the wall to the luggage cabinet, put down the violin case, and muttered softly, "...Who would be happy if someone suddenly came into the room?"
Yan Baiqing's smile did not diminish. "Someone casually entered your room. Your first reaction should be to run to the front desk, not to close the door."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qing ran away.
"stop."
She put her hand on the door handle and pulled hard.
Old Qian happened to be carrying a lunch box and walked to the door. Seeing her, he bowed slightly and said, "Miss Chen, Mr. Yan asked me to deliver dinner. This restaurant is the most famous in the area. Although it serves ordinary home-cooked dishes, it is clean and hygienic."
Chen Qing nodded perfunctorily, took it gloomily, and slammed the door. "There are people inside and outside the door. If I run into a gangster, I can't even get out of the door before running to the front desk."
Yan Baiqing laughed angrily, rolled up the report in his hand and waved, "Come here."
"Mr. Yan, please eat first." Chen Qing put down his lunch box, turned around and took off his coat. "It's okay for me to be hungry, but if I starve you, Old Qian will think that I'm not only affecting your Huangjia International business, but also your appetite."
She gathered her long hair behind her head with both hands, biting a black leather band used to tie her hair, and spoke the second half of her sentence vaguely.
Yan Baiqing stared at her naturally bulging cheeks, the tip of her nose reflecting a little light from outside the window, making her look playful and lively.
He said with a wistful tone, "You did influence me."
"Then why did Mr. Yan have to come here? He's asking for trouble."
He laughed again, "You're really asking for trouble."
Chen Qingze took off the hair stuck to the sleeve of his sweater, wrapped it around his index finger, lowered his head and said nothing.
Yan Baiqing seemed distracted, and it took him a long time to unfold the medical examination report. "I've read it."
She stopped moving suddenly.
"The anemia is quite severe, and the hormones are out of balance." Yan Baiqing frowned slightly. "My mother also has this problem because of the stress she put into her confinement period. She's been nursing her for several years. I'll have Aunt He contact an experienced Chinese doctor later."
"Don't bother. The doctor said I'm young and I just need to take care of myself." Chen Qing put the lunch box aside, not wanting to look him in the eye. "It smells nice, but it'll get cold soon."
Yan Baiqing put the report aside and rolled up his sleeves slowly. "I came in a hurry. I'd like to borrow your room to take a shower and change clothes."
"Is there no room available in the hotel?" Chen Qing sat up straight, his resistance obvious. "The people who come here are all my classmates. It's inappropriate to see you here."
"If he came today, would you still say 'inappropriate'?"
She was stunned and didn't say anything.
Yan Baiqing scooped out a bowl of soup and blew on it while heating it up. "I know I can't compare to him, but I can't help comparing myself to him."
His tone was mocking, and Chen Qing couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart. "I've lived in the Luo family for four years. People in Zhounan say that Mr. Meng's two students are both talented and equally talented. You don't need to compare yourself with him."
"That's just empty talk for show. What's in Qing'er's heart?"
She looked up, and saw the man calmly picking up food and drinking soup. He faced the light, his face elegant and refined. The setting sun cast two long, deep shadows across the room, staggered and untouched.
Just like when the two of them first met, the landlord went to the school to cause trouble, and Yan Baiqing happened to arrive to rescue her. Afterwards, she repaid the favor by giving him a meal.
He then seemed no different from the one now.
"Bai Qing." Chen Qing looked at him and said softly, "You came to me at this time because you encountered a difficult problem, right?"
"How did you tell that?"
"Is it...about Meng Hongwen?"
Yan Baiqing then stopped and looked at her with a smile, "You are indeed the girl raised by Jing Yan."
Chen Qing choked and fiddled with the radish in his lunch box. "I was born smart."
"She's smart." Yan Baiqing took out a cigarette, looked at her, and put it back. "She's so smart that she found a way to deceive me."
He said it so lightly that Chen Qing couldn't tell whether he was setting a trap on purpose or had evidence.
"How can I be as advanced as you? I can't hide it from you for a moment. You are just watching me tossing and turning like a cat."
Yan Baiqing stared at her quietly for a while, his smile fading. "I've thought about what you said last night."
"What?"
"You said I shouldn't target Jingyan."
Chen Qing paused.
"But the situation now is that no matter if I target him or not, he's going to find me." Yan Baiqing played with the cigarette box, his eyes fixed on a point in the air. "This time, it's a life-and-death struggle."
"He doesn't want your life."
Chen Qing's voice trembled slightly. Yan Baiqing shifted his gaze to her and couldn't help but coax her gently, "Are you scared?"
Her breathing was rapid and her cheeks were lightly pink.
"Are you afraid that I will live, or that I will die?"
"Mr. Yan——"
"No need to answer." Yan Baiqing interrupted her, then got up and went to the bathroom.
…
Yan Baiqing took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and stood in front of the dressing mirror at the door to tie his tie.
Chen Qing was still worrying about what excuse to refuse to go with him. He turned his head and asked, "Will it be tied?"
She shook her head.
"Didn't Jingyan teach you?"
Yan Baiqing seemed to mention Jiang Jingyan on purpose today. At first glance, each of his words didn't have any other meaning, but when you think about it carefully, they are full of sarcasm.
Chen Qing pulled the pillow over angrily and lay back on the sofa. "I just can't do it. He won't teach me how to serve a man."
Yan Baiqing met her eyes in the mirror, a smile of unknown meaning on his lips, "What he taught you is more useful than serving men."
Chen Qing turned his head away without saying a word.
For a long time, the man's leather shoes remained in her peripheral vision.
"I have to go out for something." He smoothed down a strand of black hair that was sticking out from behind Chen Qing's head. "Have a good rest and don't run around."
She hummed in a muffled voice and concentrated on playing with her phone.
After he left, Chen Qing saw his car driving out of the long street from the window. He waited for more than ten minutes to make sure he would not come back, then put on a coat and left the hotel.
The band had a party in the evening, but Yuan Hui couldn't attend because she was pregnant. Chen Qing asked for leave from the band leader to meet Boss Song.
Wuhen Village is not big. Young Master Xiao was on his way there five minutes ago and should be arriving soon.
Chen Qing hailed a taxi and headed straight for his destination.
Jiang Jingyan said that Boss Song was so courteous that even the village chief was polite to him. Wherever he went, no matter what the occasion, the best private room seats were reserved for him.
Chen Qing arrived at the Riverside Building according to the information. She looked around and saw that Yan Baiqing's car was not in the parking lot outside the door. Then she quietly went up to the third floor through the side door.
The waiter led her to the private room, opened the door, and the man at the main table narrowed his eyes and called her in a hoarse voice, "Come."
Chen Qing walked over in a daze, "You——"
Jiang Jingyan, dressed in black, held out his hand and took her to sit beside him. "Let me introduce you, Boss Song."
He turned around and saw Chen Qing's confused expression, and his little look of wanting to cry but not crying was very adorable.
"Are you stupid?" Jiang Jingyan rubbed her cheek with his fingertips and lowered his head to tease her, "A phone call this morning made me want to come."
