Chapter 24
Wen Xin looked at the sick male lead speechlessly and asked sincerely, "Haven't you seen a doctor about your ears yet?"
Li Qingchen: "..."
"You insulted me again!"
Wen Xin sighed, too lazy to suggest he get his brain checked again.
Qin Zhan's icy gaze swept over Li Qingchen. "So what if I scold you?"
Li Qingchen clenched his fists in humiliation and gritted his teeth, saying, "What does it have to do with Young Master Qin if I'm talking to my girlfriend?"
Wen Xin: "Wait, we've already broken up."
Li Qingchen yelled at her, "You say you want to break up, but did I agree to it?"
Wen Xin grabbed her childhood sweetheart brother, who was radiating murderous intent, and looked at Li Qingchen with a complicated expression, "Weren't you going to get engaged to Miss Han?"
Li Qingchen choked, "Yu Ying and I were..."
Wen Xin suddenly realized, "Oh, so you're the one who's eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot, wanting to have multiple wives and concubines?"
"Mr. Li, the Qing Dynasty is long gone!"
Does he really think he's a prince?
Idiot!
Li Qingchen looked at Wen Xin, who had suddenly become eloquent, with disbelief.
How dare she say that about him?
Wen Xin sighed softly, "When I was eighteen, I was terrified by a group of thugs and mistook you for a hero. I chased after you for more than two years, to the point that I became unrecognizable..."
"But I must thank Mr. Li for his constant devotion. Even while dating me, he never forgot to care for Miss Han. He stood me up on my birthday to be with her, and he didn't care when I was in so much stomach pain that I fainted."
"However, having just escaped death has cleared my mind, which had been blocked for two years, and allowed me to face reality. Here, I congratulate Mr. Li and Ms. Han on finally overcoming numerous obstacles and becoming a couple."
Wen Xin's words were not only a sarcastic remark to Li Qingchen, but also meant for everyone.
During their relationship, Wen Xin never wronged Li Qingchen; it was he who was unfaithful and even ignored his girlfriend's illness.
Why keep this scumbag around if you're not going to break up with him?
Li Qingchen was surrounded by strange looks from others, and even Han Yuying received a lot of subtle scrutiny.
She could almost hear people saying: "You were blind before, eloping with a foreigner, and now you're a mistress. This Han family socialite, tsk tsk tsk!"
Han Yuying bit her lip in shame and indignation.
But she wasn't a brainless idiot like Li Qingchen, and she clearly heard Wen Xin call Qin Zhan "brother".
There is only one person in the world who can call Qin Zhan "brother".
Han Yuying was consumed by jealousy and resentment, which twisted her emotions and caused her to break down.
She could never have imagined that Wen Xin's background was so terrifying.
The precious little sister that the Crown Prince of the Qin family cherishes!
And she actually went and seduced her boyfriend, who had previously secretly sabotaged her quite a bit...
Will Qin Zhan let her go?
Han Yuying was going crazy; at this moment, she wished she could sever all ties with Li Qingchen.
Unfortunately, they were already engaged.
When Li Qingchen heard Wen Xin's accusation, he didn't think he was wrong at all. He said confidently, "Yu Ying and I were just childhood sweethearts. You're the one who's overthinking and being suspicious."
This idiot is really insulting to the term "childhood sweetheart"!
Wen Xin smiled without showing her teeth and said elegantly, "Then you can ask everyone here whether they believe it or not?"
Li Qingchen: "..."
Wen Xin's tone turned cold: "Let me remind you again, we've broken up. Mr. Li should know and understand the meaning of the word 'break up,' right?"
Li Qingchen's face darkened instantly upon being indirectly accused of being mentally challenged.
"Wen! Xin!"
The head of the Wen family walked over with a polite smile, but said, "Mr. Li, if you do not wish to participate in this auction, you may return first."
Mrs. Li pulled her son back, her smile forced. "Mr. Wen is too kind. Of course we would like to participate."
Han Yuying quickly came over and dragged Li Qingchen away to prevent him from making a further embarrassment.
I used to think Li Qingchen was stupid but easy to control, but now I think... damn it, what a terrible teammate, a complete failure.
She's incredibly unlucky!
Li Qingchen was still furious and wanted to argue with Wen Xin, but Qin Zhan's fierce gaze swept over him, his bloodthirsty killing intent almost tangible, like a Shura whose hands were stained with countless blood.
How could a simple-minded young master like Li Qingchen, who had been spoiled since childhood, possibly withstand such a terrifying aura?
Before he could even react, the person had already been dragged into the private room.
However, before leaving, both Madam Li and Han Yuying looked at Wen Xin with complicated expressions.
Disbelief, disbelief, anger, resentment... and fear.
They were all terrified that Wen Xin would send Qin Zhan to retaliate against them.
Only Li Qingchen, with his exceptional intelligence, is unaware of the gravity of the situation.
Wen Xin ignored them and pulled Qin Zhan to apologize to the Wen family.
Whether it was their own intention or not, their entanglement with Li Qingchen had caused trouble for him.
The Wen family kindly said it was alright.
After all, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Li Qingchen was the one who acted inhumanely and started the trouble first.
Playing with a young girl's feelings is something most people can't stand, let alone someone like Young Master Qin who loves his sister dearly.
...
"elder brother?"
Inside the private room, Wen Xin, who was looking at the auction list, turned to look at the man beside her.
Qin Zhan looked away somewhat evasively, his expression indifferent, and said, "Mm."
But Wen Xin had no idea how focused and... conflicted his gaze had been just now.
Wen Xin closed the auction list. "Brother, just say what you want to say."
She teased him, "Who used to say that grown men shouldn't be so hesitant and indecisive?"
Qin Zhan: "..."
However, seeing her bright eyes and serene expression, without a trace of sadness, gloom, or forced smile, Qin Zhan's tightly clenched heart relaxed.
He knew how much she had suffered over the past two years, but when he heard her say it so casually, his heart still ached terribly.
It was his fault for not taking good care of her!
If he hadn't been such a jerk back then, insisting on arguing with Madam Qin, she wouldn't have run out to find him alone and almost been bullied.
Initially, Qin Zhan was grateful to Li Qingchen because he had indeed saved Ah Xin.
If he could treat her sincerely, Qin Zhan would accept it no matter how heartbroken she was.
He deserved it!
But Li Qingchen should never have treated her like that.
She was the girl he had cherished and protected with all his heart since she was a child!
Why shouldn't Li Qingchen die?
Qin Zhan was also afraid that Wen Xin would appear indifferent to Li Qingchen in public and was just putting on a brave face while pretending to be heartbroken.
He couldn't bear to see her sad, and he also had his own selfish reasons—he couldn't bear to see her worry about Li Qingchen anymore.
Wen Xin saw that he didn't speak, but only stared at her with his deep eyes.
She raised her hand to cover his eyes, "You're not allowed to look."
Qin Zhan's body stiffened slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. "Ah Xin."
Even though he couldn't see her, her sweet fragrance kept wafting into his nose, making his heart feel like it was on fire.
This is terrible!
