Chapter 63: Walking with Qin Cangye, what happened? Seeing me...
Ever since Su Yinuo was hurt by Qin Cangye a month ago, she has been depressed for many days and is often hugged by Qin Wangxuan to fall asleep at night.
The warm embrace and the heartbeat in her ears gave her a certain degree of comfort. She gradually got used to it all, and under Qin Wangxuan's meticulous care, her weak body recovered better and better.
Every night when they fell asleep in each other's arms, Qin Wangxuan never did anything excessive, so this time, Su Yinuo naturally did not refuse.
She went to bed first, and when she felt sleepy, she felt the quilt behind her being lifted. Qin Wangxuan, who had just taken a shower, came up to her with a fresh fragrance and warmth all over his body, and hugged her from behind.
At that moment, she felt incredibly at ease. Before falling asleep, she was still thinking: It turns out that even if you don't like someone, you can still adapt to living with them...
As for other things, she didn't think much about it, and didn't realize how excited and fanatical Qin Wangxuan became tonight because of her rejection of Qin Cangye.
At first, she felt his touch in a daze and felt a little irritated. After she fell into a deep sleep, Qin Cangye's face appeared in her dream.
I dreamed of Qin Cangye again.
During the days she'd been apart from Qin Cangye, she'd often dreamt of him. In her dreams, he was still as domineering and overbearing as ever, but this time, he seemed to be crying. The nearly 5'9" tall figure knelt pitifully on the cold ground, his face tear-stained and hopeless as he looked up.
The dream world was chaotic and dim, and the next moment, she was in his arms. Her clothes were disheveled and hung loosely in his arms. His cold tears rained down on her body, and a passionate kiss followed. She couldn't help but moan, tremble, and call out his name in her sleep.
She wanted more, wanted more real touch, so she began to regret why she rejected him at night, and even began to resent why he didn't force her to stay.
Why can't I just be as tough as before? Can't I just tie myself up with a tie or a chain? Why should I back off? Why should I be afraid? Why should I let go?
No matter what happens, you can't let go...
Desire gradually turned into sorrow. The heart-wrenching pain woke her up from her sleep, and she realized that the person hugging, kissing, and caressing her was someone else.
"Qin Wangxuan!!" She cried, pushing him away and slapping him hard in the face. Her hand trembled slightly from the excessive force, and her palm was numb with pain, but she looked at Qin Wangxuan standing in bed in the darkness and cried out, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you. It was me who allowed you to go to bed, and it was me who made you misunderstand..."
She got out of bed crying and wanted to sit on the sofa, but was hugged by Qin Wangxuan who got out of bed behind her.
"It's my fault. Why are you apologizing? It's okay. I've already said it, it's okay for you to hit me." Qin Wangxuan picked her up and put her back on the bed. "Go to sleep. I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep. I'm too greedy. I want too much. I'm sorry..."
Su Yinuo didn't see the expression on Qin Wangxuan's face until he turned and left. Even when she fell asleep again, his sorrowful "I'm sorry" was still echoing in her ears.
The next morning, a suffocating silence fell over the dinner table. Everyone lowered their eyes, their faces gloomy.
Qin Weishu looked up and glanced at his two grandsons who were vying for a woman with extreme disappointment. He was furious. He then set his eyes on Su Yinuo and scolded her, "Think carefully about whose child you're carrying! Stop running between two men's rooms all day long. What kind of person is that? Do you have any sense of shame left in your heart?"
Su Yinuo nodded respectfully to Qin Weishu and said, "You are right. The child is Wangxuan's. I will pay attention to it in the future."
Qin Cangye on the opposite side gritted his teeth, stared at the noodles in the bowl expressionlessly, broke the chopsticks in his hand, and placed them heavily on the table.
Qin Weishu glared at him and said nothing.
After breakfast, Su Yinuo sent Qin Wangxuan to the door, took his hand and said gently: "I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I won't accompany you to the company. You can pick me up when you have dinner with friends in the evening."
"Well," Qin Wangxuan's complexion finally improved. He rubbed Su Yinuo's face and said with a smile, "Be good and wait for me at home. Call me if you have anything."
Not far away, Qin Cangye had been silently watching their every move, his sharp eyes eager to chop off Qin Wangxuan's hand that was on Su Yinuo's face. After the two separated, he approached Qin Wangxuan, grabbed his arm, and dragged him into his car.
Seeing this scene, Su Yinuo immediately became nervous and thought: Are we going to have a fight in the car?
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the vehicle drive smoothly out of the hospital gate.
In the car, Qin Wangxuan, sitting in the passenger seat, nervously watched Qin Cangye driving. Although Qin Cangye's face remained calm, Qin Wangxuan felt he would explode at any moment. He took a deep breath and moved closer to the car door.
"What are your plans?" Qin Cangye finally spoke. "After everything is over, do you plan to take her abroad, or stay in China with her?"
"I..." Qin Wangxuan hesitated, not knowing how to start.
"I'll give you a third option!" Qin Cangye suddenly said in a more serious tone, "Right now, give me 20% of your shares, and I'll give you 200 million. You can just go back abroad and leave her to me. I'll raise the child for you!"
"No! She won't agree!" This time, Qin Wangxuan did not hesitate.
"You..." Qin Cangye gritted his teeth, "Have you forgotten what leverage I have over you?"
"I haven't forgotten, but can you bear to hurt her?" Qin Wangxuan didn't look at Qin Cangye again, but turned his head to look out the window.
Whether it was for Su Yinuo's plan or out of selfish motives, he would not tell the truth before Su Yinuo. He just wanted to use these layers of lies to stay with Su Yinuo, even if it was only for one more day. He didn't dare to imagine the day when he lost Su Yinuo. He felt that he might fall into the abyss of despair again.
So, he smiled bitterly and decided to try to save himself before the truth was revealed: "She likes me, she has my child, she needs my arms to fall asleep every day, brother, give up..."
The sharp sound of brakes suddenly rang out, and inertia almost caused Qin Wangxuan to crash into the car window. Listening to the crazy beeping and cursing of the cars behind him, Qin Wangxuan covered his chest and looked at the painfully expressionless Qin Cangye, saying, "I won't say anything more, brother, just drive carefully! Or let me drive!"

Su Yinuo basically spent the whole morning hanging around the housekeeper Li Guogang. At first, she talked about the requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation in the late pregnancy and after giving birth. Later, the topic went further and further and started talking about family matters.
"Uncle Li, do you have a grandson? Have you ever held a baby? Such a small child, I'm afraid I wouldn't even dare to hold him," Su Yinuo said with a smile.
"Grandson..." Li Guogang's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he said, "Maybe... no."
"Maybe?" Su Yinuo looked up at Li Guogang standing beside him and said with a smile, "How can we not be sure about this?"
After two months of getting along, Li Guogang's wariness towards Su Yinuo had eased considerably, thanks to her gentle smile and occasional caring. He gave a wry smile and said, "I haven't seen my son in years. He's abroad."
"Ah? Is it inconvenient for him to come back? Even if it is inconvenient for him to come back, he doesn't even call me normally? This is too unfilial!" Su Yinuo said dissatisfiedly.
"No, no, it's not my son's fault," Li Guogang said quickly, "I did something wrong to him back then, so that's why he doesn't want to see me anymore."
"What big deal could there be between father and son?" Su Yinuo wanted to ask more questions, but Li Guogang didn't respond. He bowed slightly to Su Yinuo and said, "These are all private matters. Miss Su, don't worry about them. You should have a good rest. If you need anything, just tell the servants."
After saying that, he left the living room.
After lunch, Su Yinuo saw the bright sunshine outside and went out for a walk to help digest her food. She sat down in the back garden near the servants' quarters. She looked at Room 405, which held so many secrets. It was as if she saw a woman covered in wounds stumbling into the room and locking the door in panic decades ago.
Her sight, penetrating time and space, intertwined with the woman's desperate gaze. She seemed to see her begging and hear her cry of "Save me!"
The woman became more and more real in Su Yinuo's vision. She pulled Su Yinuo's sleeve and pulled Su Yinuo into the dim dormitory. She whispered nervously, "I hid some things under the bed. Come here quickly. No one can find them. There are many mobile phone memory cards. There is evidence of the master beating people in them. Please help me, help me call the police, save us..."
-
"Aren't you cold sitting here?"
Suddenly, a question from behind shattered Su Yinuo's illusion. Then, a large woolen coat was covered on her body. Su Yinuo grabbed the coat and turned around to see Qin Cangye's calm but forbearing face.
"Why... are you here?" Su Yinuo quickly stood up.
"I came back to see you," Qin Cangye raised his hand, then retracted it, saying lightly, "Why, are you not happy to see me?"
"No," Su Yinuo waved her hands quickly, "It's just that there were some unexpected things." She took off her coat and handed it to Qin Cangye, smiling politely and distantly, "The weather is good, not cold."
Qin Cangye took the coat and felt a little uncomfortable. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to start.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first." Su Yinuo also felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and wanted to leave.
Qin Cangye clutched his clothes tightly, lowered his eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Can't you let me accompany you for a while?"
Su Yinuo paused, feeling reluctant, and said, "Then let's take a walk together."
The pain in Qin Cangye's eyes finally dissipated. He raised his eyes and said, "Okay."
Walking in the withered and quiet winter garden, stepping on the old cobblestone path, Su Yinuo deliberately kept a distance from Qin Cangye, and did not chat. She just walked slowly and quietly, without a cheerful look on her face, as if she was just completing a boring task.
"Don't you like taking a walk with me?" Qin Cangye looked at her and asked.
"No," Su Yinuo shook her head.
Qin Cangye could see that it was clearly there.
His heartache seemed to have numbed him. He looked ahead, took a deep breath of the cold winter air, and asked, "Which friend are you and Qin Wangxuan going to meet tonight? I don't remember him being here. Is there any important friend worth taking you to meet?"
"We just met not long ago. Wangxuan said that he and I got along very well, so he took me to meet him," Su Yinuo said perfunctorily.
"Then be careful when eating out. Don't eat spicy or cold food. Don't play too late. Come back early to rest." Qin Cangye looked at Su Yinuo again, his tone of voice indescribably gentle.
Su Yinuo's heart trembled slightly, and her eyes began to heat up. She sniffed, looked up at the clear sky, and hummed.
The withered leaves were blown down by the wind and fluttered down on Su Yinuo's head. Qin Cangye raised his hand and wanted to pluck away the leaf. Su Yinuo noticed it and immediately took a step back to avoid Qin Cangye's hand.
Qin Cangye's hand froze in mid-air, and his trembling pupils seemed about to shatter into pieces.
"Well, then..." Su Yinuo hurriedly changed the subject, "I heard that after you became an adult, you rarely came back here, right?"
"Yes," Qin Cangye said in a hoarse voice.
"Why? Is it because you hate this place?" Su Yinuo walked forward.
Qin Cangye didn't dare to get any closer to her. He lagged behind her by half a step, staring at her back, and replied, "Yes, for me, every second of living here is torture, even when my mother was still alive."
"What about now? Why did you come here yesterday?" Su Yinuo regretted asking this question. The answer was obvious. He came here because of her.
Sure enough, he replied: "Because you are here, I am worried about you..."
Su Yinuo immediately changed the subject and asked, "Can I go and see the room where Aunt Ruyin lived before she died?"
She wanted to see if she could find evidence that Li Ruyin had suffered domestic violence during her lifetime.
Qin Cangye was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."
The two came to the third floor of the villa and walked to the locked room at the west end. Qin Cangye called the housekeeper to open the door. After the door was opened, he stopped Su Yinuo and said, "You wait outside for a while. No one has been here for a long time. The air in the room is not good. I'll go and ventilate it first." After that, he walked into the room.
Su Yinuo stood obediently outside the door and heard Qin Cangye's footsteps slow down in the house, then disappear, and then move again.
I heard the sound of him opening the sliding door to the balcony and the sound of his footsteps landing on the balcony.
A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly emerged in Su Yinuo's heart. She didn't know what happened, and suddenly the scene of Qin Cangye jumping off the balcony due to the influence of painful memories appeared in front of her eyes.
Her hands were shaking, and after calling out Qin Cangye's name, she rushed into the house.
"Qin Cangye, don't!"
She ran to the balcony and hugged Qin Cangye tightly as he was standing by the railing.
