Chapter 240 I'm in step with you



You're right.

Song Lan nodded slightly, agreeing with what the man said. At the same time, she felt a warm glow in her heart, and even her beautiful eyes showed obvious emotion. She stared at the man for a moment, then parted her red lips slightly and said, "Qin Yanzheng, thank you!"

"We agreed not to say thank you all the time. Now that you've broken the rules, how are you going to make it up to me?"

Qin Yanzheng smiled and raised an eyebrow. Upon hearing this, Song Lan paused for a moment and asked, "What kind of compensation do you want?"

This stumped Qin Yanzheng. He was just teasing his wife, but she took it seriously. For a moment, Qin Yanzheng didn't know how to react.

Didn't expect that?

Song Lan asked with a smile.

"Um."

Qin Yanzheng nodded and said, "How about you pay me back first, and I'll bring it up with you when I think of it again?"

"It's not that it's impossible, but if I can't provide the compensation you want later, then you'll have to listen to me."

Hearing Song Lan say this, Qin Yanzheng looked puzzled; clearly, he didn't understand.

"What I mean is, if I can't provide the compensation you want later, you'll have to accept what I give you. To put it simply, you have to accept whatever I give you, and you can't object."

As Song Lan spoke slowly, meeting her clear, sharp gaze, Qin Yanzheng chuckled softly, "Don't worry, the compensation I want is definitely something you can afford. In other words, I will absolutely not make things difficult for you. Now, do you have anything else to say?"

Upon hearing this, Song Lan shook her head: "Okay, let's do it this way."

As long as it's within her means, she will naturally not be stingy, much less go back on her word.

The couple sat in the living room chatting idly, losing track of time. Meanwhile, after washing up, Qin Yaxin didn't go back to her own room but instead knocked on Qin Boyan's door.

"Why are you looking for me instead of sleeping?"

Qin Boyan opened the door and saw Qin Yaxin standing outside. He immediately asked her a question.

"It's not even nine o'clock yet!"

She usually goes to bed after nine o'clock, but now that she's lying in bed, she can't fall asleep at all.

Moreover, with something on her mind, it would undoubtedly be even harder for her to fall asleep.

reason?

She can't keep things to herself!

What do you want to say?

Turning around and sitting on the edge of the bed, Qin Boyan watched Qin Yaxin sit down in the chair next to him, and then heard her say, "Second Brother, do you think Eldest Brother is really going to write a letter to Qin Yaqing?"

"Don't you think you're asking a pointless question?!"

Qin Boyan said expressionlessly, "My elder brother always keeps his word. Don't you know that?"

"I...I didn't think of that for a moment!"

Hey, why are you talking to her so rudely?

Even the best horses can stumble sometimes, so why can't she suddenly have a brain fart?

—Forget about the eldest brother's "one-man rule" temperament.

Qin Boyan pursed his lips and remained silent.

“But we’ve already said we won’t mail the letter from the post office, so it’s pointless for my brother to write it.”

Qin Yaxin muttered to herself.

"I thought you'd finally grown up, but reality has slapped me in the face."

Qin Boyan looked at her with disdain. Seeing that Qin Yaxin was about to explode, he said, "Why don't you ask Brother Wu for help, big brother?"

"..."

Qin Yaxin was speechless. After a long while, she glared at Qin Boyan and said, "Aren't you being a little too unfriendly to me? Don't forget, you're my second brother. You always look down on me and mock me. If you don't change your attitude towards me, you'll lose me as your sister sooner or later!"

"You need to look for the reasons within yourself, instead of always thinking that I'm deliberately finding fault with you."

Qin Boyan's tone was somewhat cynical: "I've never been one to lie. You might think I'm sharp-tongued, but isn't this also my way of encouraging you to make a change?"

So I should thank you?

Qin Yaxin rolled her eyes.

"No need for that. After all, we are siblings. If you can make changes and become an outstanding woman like my sister-in-law, I, as the second brother, will also be proud."

In a casual reply, Qin Boyan said, "It's up to you, brother, to decide what Qin Yaqing does. I've already said what I meant. Even if Qin Yaqing were standing in front of me one day, in my eyes, she would be nothing more than a familiar stranger."

Qin Yaxin: "I'll keep pace with you."

"What you want to do is your business, don't drag me into it, I don't need you to follow my lead."

Qin Boyan rolled his eyes at Qin Yaxin: "A person has to have their own opinions, otherwise, they're just an annoying yes-man."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yaxin puffed out her cheeks, gave a light snort, and said, "I'm not some yes-man; I just happen to share the same attitude as you."

"You can leave now if there's nothing else."

Qin Boyan chased people away.

"What are you doing? I just sat down and you're already kicking me out? You're so annoying!" Qin Yaxin remained seated, casually bringing up the argument between the couple next door: "Second brother, do you think the man next door got demoted? Is it possible that it has something to do with our eldest brother?"

Qin Boyan glanced at her indifferently but did not reply.

"I think it's probably related. Think about it, the guy next door was arguing with his wife. He even punched her, accusing her of being foul-mouthed and picking fights."

Although he didn't mention his sister-in-law or his brother, the woman next door had offended his sister-in-law more than once with her foul mouth. His sister-in-law hadn't retaliated, but how could his brother tolerate her being bullied, especially considering his position at the factory…

Before Qin Yaxin could finish speaking, Qin Boyan interrupted her: "What? You've transformed into a police officer now? You know how to analyze things so thoroughly with your brain, you're really something!"

"You're being sarcastic again! Second brother, that's enough! I was just chatting with you casually, can we please stop with the veiled insults?"

Is this ever going to end? Will it cost me anything to just get along with her?

Why do you have to be like a hedgehog, wanting to prick her every time you hear her speak?!

Qin Boyan avoided Qin Yaxin's gaze and coughed lightly twice, feeling uneasy. He didn't know why, but he could always find fault with Qin Yaxin when she spoke, unable to control his mouth. But could he blame himself?

You can only blame Qin Yaxin for ruining all her goodwill with him!

Yes, that's it!

It's definitely not that he was deliberately picking on her for no reason!

"Is it armed with a gun or a club?"

Qin Boyan regained his composure and turned his gaze back to Qin Yaxin, saying, "The fact that the man next door was demoted means he made a mistake at work. What does that have to do with you, brother?"

Even if my elder brother is the deputy factory director, you can't just fabricate things and use such underhanded methods to attack others. Besides, don't you know what kind of person he is?

"I didn't say anything bad about my brother. I was just guessing that the guy next door got demoted because his wife's foul mouth offended our sister-in-law, and that's why..."

Qin Boyan interrupted Qin Yaxin again: "Alright, let's leave this topic alone. Is there anything else?"

"Why didn't you see Li Dahai at the police station today?"
