Chapter 24 Girlfriend Wants to Leave an heir for her ex-boyfriend who was released from prison (7)
After the meal, the two seemed to have become even more familiar with each other.
As she stood up, Li Qingzhou naturally took Changqing's hand. She offered to pay the bill, and Changqing noticed that she had taken out a credit card, but he didn't say anything, which made Li Qingzhou's hand stiffen for a moment.
When she left the restaurant, she looked quite unwell.
"How about we go see a movie? We still have plenty of time—"
Changqing took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.
Li Qingzhou immediately released his grip warily, took a step back, and stared at Changqing with displeasure.
"Heh, after watching a movie it's too late, and it's inconvenient to get a taxi, so you don't go home but go to a hotel? Don't think I don't know what you men are up to."
Her all-knowing expression almost made Changqing laugh.
"I drove here."
He took out his keys and pressed the start button on the remote. A brand-new car nearby beeped. His father had bought it, saying that it would be more convenient to have a car when he took his girlfriend back to meet him after the New Year.
A car costing over 300,000 yuan is already quite good.
Li Qingzhou's expression changed.
"Yan Changqing, do you buy big-ticket items without consulting anyone? Or do you only feel comfortable when you're burdened with a loan?"
Despite saying that, she took a few steps forward, opened the passenger door, and got in.
Tsk tsk.
Changqing chuckled inwardly and got into the driver's seat.
“Zhouzhou, don’t be angry. I just wanted to give you a surprise. My dad paid for it, all cash, no loan.”
"Then you should have discussed it with someone. We're going to live together from now on. How can we live together if you make decisions on your own like this?"
Li Qingzhou remained righteous and indignant.
Changqing really wanted to say, "You're so sensible, why didn't you discuss having a child with anyone?" But now was not the time to talk about that.
"It's just for getting around. As long as it can be driven, that's fine. If you don't like it, I'll buy you another one after we get married."
He's quite adept at making empty promises.
Li Qingzhou's expression softened upon hearing this.
"Shall we go see a movie?"
Changqing smiled and said that this time Li Qingzhou did not refuse. The two went to the movie theater, bought tickets and snacks, and Changqing took several photos. After watching the movie, he took Li Qingzhou downstairs. When they said goodbye, he was surprised to receive a hug.
Li Qingzhou had some acting skills; she acted quite shy, giving him a light hug before quickly letting go and lowering her head.
Changqing wrinkled his nose and laughed.
"Zhouzhou, you smell like milk."
Li Qingzhou punched him lightly, turned and ran away, but she was nervous inside. Damn it, didn't she realize her boyfriend had such a keen sense of smell before? She was still breastfeeding, of course she smelled of milk.
It seems I need to be more careful from now on.
As she was thinking this, she heard Changqing's self-talk behind her again.
"Could I be smelling it wrong? That can't be right, this smells just like a baby who has just finished drinking milk."
thump!
Li Qingzhou, who was going upstairs, stumbled, kicked a step, and fell to the ground.
But before Changqing could help her up, she quickly got up.
"I'm fine, you should go back too."
Her voice was trembling slightly.
Li Qingzhou decided it was best to avoid seeing each other for a while.
If it were the original owner, he would naturally be very worried and wouldn't just leave like that. He might even go and buy some liniment and deliver it to her door, only to be met with another glare from Li Qingzhou. But now, Changqing didn't have so many thoughts. He turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
Instead, Li Qingzhou limped home and couldn't help but cry.
Wronged.
I feel so wronged.
Men are all the same, none of them are any good!
She thought that after she came back and they met, they would quickly return to their previous relationship. But to her surprise, Yan Changqing really put on airs and stopped handing over his salary to her, calling it "saving for betrothal gifts." He even sent her a bill, proudly saying how much he had saved.
This infuriated Li Qingzhou.
Why should I?
Are you saving up for a bride price to lower my standard of living?
She hinted at it several times, but that clueless straight man didn't understand at all. He even posted on his WeChat Moments every month, showing off how much money he had saved.
What's even more infuriating is that the straight man seems to have actually become more motivated. In addition to his regular job, he also took on a part-time job, and his income seems to be higher than his salary.
After a few months, I actually saved up nearly 100,000 yuan.
Isn't that infuriating?
As for herself, her credit cards are almost maxed out.
Because she had to keep her pregnancy a secret, she quit her job. Now that she has just finished her postpartum confinement, she has found a new job, which is basically starting from scratch. The income is not high, and she is also very irritable. She keeps thinking about her child and other things, which has led to her not doing a good job and receiving a lot of criticism.
And what about the child's father, Song Zhe?
Aside from calling for money, he couldn't do anything else. When we asked him to deliver food, he said he was too tired after a week and quit.
At one point, she even had the thought that Yan Changqing was much better than Song Zhe.
"No, no, no, Ah Zhe has just gone through too much misery. He was tortured in prison and his mind has broken down. Give him some more time and he will definitely recover."
She comforted herself with this thought.
"At least now he has a child and isn't acting like he did right after he got out of prison."
Li Qingzhou embodies the glory of a savior.
But as glorious as it was, being broke was truly painful. With credit card debt piling up and the child unable to be neglected, Li Qingzhou finally panicked.
She gritted her teeth and made a decision against her nature: to get married as soon as possible.
Get married to pay off debts.
Popular processing methods.
So, right after the New Year, she suggested moving into Changqing's house.
Since we're living together, we can't keep our finances so separate.
To her utter surprise, Changqing refused without hesitation, and quite bluntly at that.
"No, Zhouzhou, I can't do that! We're not even married yet, how can we live together like that?"
“Zhouzhou, I know your family has traditional values. Don’t worry, I will absolutely respect your family’s values and will never do anything to upset your parents.”
"And look! I'm working hard to save money. I listened to you and even found a side job. The income is good, and with my salary, I've saved 100,000 in just two or three months. Next year, if I work even harder, I'm afraid I won't need my parents' help to get a dowry of 300,000!"
The young man spoke with excitement and a hint of pride, but Li Qingzhou couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Holy crap.
The Qing Dynasty is over, and there are still such rigid men?
At the same time, she was also a little embarrassed, because many of the things Changqing said were things she used to use to fob him off, such as family traditions, and now it was really hard to refute them.
She bit her lip and unleashed her ultimate move. Her eyes gradually welled up with tears, making her look pitiful.
"Changqing, have you changed your mind?"
As soon as she finished speaking, two large tears slid down her face, making her look truly pitiful.
"You haven't asked me out at all lately. We've only seen each other a handful of times in the months since I came back. Tell me, have you changed your mind?"
Changqing chuckled to himself.
To be honest, Li Qingzhou's acting was a bit exaggerated, even a little fake, but it was definitely enough to deal with the original owner. But who is he? Someone who has traveled through countless small worlds, this kind of performance is really no different from a monkey show.
