Chapter Twenty
What do you mean she wants to go back?
Xia Mingqiu left, so isn't it only natural for her to go back to her own place?
Although Shi Qing had experienced a luxury house recently, she always felt that it was not as comfortable and relaxing as her own little nest.
She felt uncomfortable; Liang Yuheng must have gotten annoyed by a stranger living with him for so long.
As for why he said that, Shi Qing understood that Xia Mingqiu might come over soon.
"Yes. If Mom comes over again, then tell me." Shi Qing smiled slightly.
Liang Yuheng gave a blank "hmm" and didn't say anything more for the rest of the way.
After returning, Shi Qing tidied up quickly. Afraid of having to come back again, she left her pajamas there and only brought her charger and tablet.
Liang Yuheng was originally going to take her home, but he received a phone call and had to go back to the old house, so he had to ask the driver to take her.
After returning home, Shi Qing placed the Labubu she had brought back from Liang Yuheng on her bedside table, and then boiled a kettle of water.
At that moment, Zhang Mei made a video call.
Shi Qing unconsciously frowned slightly: "Hello, Mom."
"Qingqing, are you at home?" Qian Min's voice came from across the street.
Shi Qing replied casually, "Yes, I just got back."
Qian Min asked with a smile, "You finally have a day off, why don't you go on a date?"
Shi Qing: "Yuheng has something to do this afternoon."
Qian Min: "Let me tell you, if a man doesn't have time to spend with you before marriage, he can forget about it after marriage. He might not even be able to come home more often."
After hearing this, Shi Qing didn't know what to do.
First of all, whether Liang Yuheng goes home or not has no impact on her, since they are not a real couple.
Secondly, Liang Yuheng did indeed take time to accompany her home today. Even if they were a real couple, Shi Qing wouldn't be angry if he had something to deal with at the last minute.
Zhang Mei continued, "Your sister-in-law is right. You two should spend more time together to strengthen your relationship. By the way, your father and I are quite satisfied with Yuheng. You should pay more attention to him, okay?"
Shi Qing poured herself a glass of water, took a sip, and absentmindedly hummed in agreement.
Zhang Mei: "I think he treats you very well. Why don't we have our parents meet one day and settle the marriage quickly? It's not easy to find such a good family."
"Yes, yes, let's get engaged as soon as possible," came Shi Jian's voice from the side.
Shi Qing rarely became the focus of so much attention in her family, and she naturally knew why.
"I'll come back and discuss it with him." Shi Qing knew that if she didn't agree, her mother wouldn't give up easily today.
It just so happens that Liang Yuheng mentioned last time that Xia Mingqiu also had this idea. Anyway, whether or not we meet her will be decided later.
Zhang Mei smiled broadly when Shi Qing agreed, then gave Shi Qing a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

"Brother, I heard that Grandpa was furious this afternoon and gave Uncle a good scolding." Zhou Gan sat down in an empty booth at the bar. "Uncle actually wants to transfer his shares in Keyu to that Zeng guy and his son. It's infuriating!"
This bar was opened by Cheng Jun, a friend of Liang Yuheng. Cheng Jun had been drinking with Liang Yuheng for a while.
“Your brother’s father is really biased; that’s ten percent of the shares! But thankfully, your old man is thinking of him.” Cheng Jun poured Zhou a glass of wine and pushed it towards him.
Liang Yuheng took a sip of wine in silence, then looked out the window, lost in thought.
Zhou Gan: "Brother, I heard that you snatched away those companies that Uncle originally wanted to acquire?"
Liang Yuheng: "Mm."
Cheng Jun and Zhou Gan exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Well done!"
Zhou Gan slammed his hand on the table excitedly: "Just thinking about how angry my uncle must be, it feels so damn good!"
Cheng Jun: "It has to be you again, Liang Yuheng! I heard the other day that you got married on purpose to spite your dad?"
"How did you know?!" Zhou Gan looked at Cheng Jun.
Cheng Jun: "It's all over the industry! Could it be true?!"
Just as Zhou Gan was about to say "It's true," Liang Yuheng said coolly, "Who told you it's fake?"
Cheng Jun's eyes widened: "Holy crap, are you really married?!"
Liang Yuheng: "What's the big deal? Can't I get married?"
Cheng Jun: "Of course not! The question is whether you like the girl and whether you plan to spend your life together?"
"Otherwise what?" Liang Yuheng glanced at him.
Zhou Gan: "?!"
His brother didn't say that last time.
Cheng Jun sighed, "I never thought you'd ever consider marriage. I thought you were going to spend your whole life working! By the way, how did you meet that girl? Is she pretty?"
Zhou Gan interjected, "My sister's best friend is not only beautiful but also incredibly gentle."
Cheng Jun nodded knowingly: "No wonder. We should invite your sister-in-law out so everyone can meet her sometime. Don't keep her hidden away."
"We'll see," Liang Yuheng said listlessly, taking a swig of his drink.
Cheng Jun sensed that he was in a bad mood today and guessed, "What's wrong? Did you and your wife have a fight?"
Liang Yuheng: "Not really."
Cheng Jun: "Want to chat with your buddy?"
Liang Yuheng found him too noisy: "I don't want to talk."
Cheng Jun had no choice but to give up and change the subject.
The three drank until after nine o'clock, and Liang Yuheng was already somewhat drunk. Zhou Gan arrived late and hadn't drunk much, so he was still relatively sober.
Zhou Gan was worried about Liang Yuheng going home alone, so he sent him back home.
He struggled to help Liang Yuheng to the sofa, and he was exhausted.
Liang Yuheng fell asleep on the sofa, calling out "Shi Qing" under his breath.
Although the voice wasn't loud, Zhou Gan still heard it clearly.
He had originally planned to stay here with Liang Yuheng today, but it seems his cousin needs someone else.
Shi Qing had just finished showering and washing her clothes when she received a call from Zhou Gan.
Zhou Gan said anxiously, "Hey, Shi Qing. My cousin has drunk too much. Could you come and see him? I was planning to stay here with him tonight, but something came up at home and I have to go back."
Upon hearing this, Shi Qing also began to worry: "Okay, then I'll go over now."
I don't know how much Liang Yuheng drank, but he definitely can't stay alone.
Shi Qing quickly changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and ran downstairs to hail a taxi.
The roads were clear at night, and Shi Qing arrived in just over half an hour.
Shi Qing had Liang Yuheng's fingerprints. After unlocking the door, she changed into her own slippers and asked, "How is he?"
Zhou Gan was originally sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, scrolling through short videos, but when he saw Shi Qing arrive, he immediately pretended to be very worried.
He sighed and lied, "I drank quite a lot, and I even threw up on the way back."
Shi Qing couldn't understand why Liang Yuheng, who was perfectly fine during the day, would suddenly drink so much alcohol.
She frowned slightly: "Did something happen to him today?"
Zhou Gan shook his head: "I had a fight with my uncle, so I'm in a bad mood."
When Shi Qing thought about Liang Yuheng's family background, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"Then I'll stay here and watch over him. You can go back first."
"Okay, then thank you for your hard work." Zhou Gan glanced at Shi Qing's bag and said in surprise, "Shi Qing, your Labubu bag is actually a hidden model!"
Shi Qing: "Yeah, my cousin drew it for me."
Zhou Gan was shocked: "My cousin?!"
“Yes, he gave me a lot of labubu last week, I didn’t expect him to like it too.” Shi Qing didn’t understand why Zhou Gan reacted so strongly.
"..."
How can people be so hypocritical!
"No wonder he made me make so many labubu last week, saying they were for clients. Turns out they were for you!" Zhou Gan's worry vanished as he crossed his arms and looked at the person lying on the sofa.
Shi Qing was also stunned: "Huh? But he said it was a gift from a customer."
Zhou Gan: "I guess they were afraid you'd be too embarrassed to ask for it."
Shi Qing thought that should be the case too.
But why did Liang Yuheng give her so many Labubu?
After Zhou Gan left, Shi Qing found honey in the refrigerator and made Liang Yuheng a cup of warm water.
She put the water on the coffee table, intending for Liang Yuheng to drink it and then go back to his room for a good night's sleep.
"Aheng," Shi Qing called out a few times as she squatted down beside the sofa.
Liang Yuheng slowly opened his eyes, thinking he was seeing things: "Shi Qing?"
"Um."
"Didn't you leave?" Liang Yuheng got up and leaned back on the sofa. His voice was muffled from drinking too much, sounding like he was complaining.
Shi Qing: "I heard you drank too much, so I came to check on you."
Liang Yuheng said "Oh".
Shi Qing brought over the honey water and sat down beside him: "Drink some water, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Liang Yuheng took the cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then handed it back to her.
Shi Qing: "Want some more?"
Liang Yuheng shook his head.
"Then let me help you back to your room to rest."
Liang Yuheng didn't speak, his gaze fixed on her face.
After drinking, his clean face was slightly flushed, and his hair was no longer disheveled.
It completely lacked its usual sharpness.
“Didn’t you say I was good-looking before?” Liang Yuheng looked into her eyes.
Shi Qing did mention it a few times, including this morning, but why did Liang Yuheng suddenly ask this question?
"Yes." She nodded, admitting, "You really are beautiful."
Liang Yuheng leaned back lazily on the sofa: "Didn't you say you like good-looking people?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Qing was momentarily stunned.
But soon she remembered that she had said it casually during the last heavy rain.
"I……"
"Then why don't you like me?" Liang Yuheng's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, his voice sounding neither reproachful nor aggrieved.
Shi Qing didn't understand why Liang Yuheng suddenly said that.
She must have been out of her mind to spout nonsense last time.
Besides, there are many kinds of "likes," and Shi Qing didn't understand what Liang Yuheng meant.
Faced with Liang Yuheng's direct gaze, Shi Qing was somewhat overwhelmed.
Shi Qing bit her lip and looked down at her fingers: "I don't dislike you."
Liang Yuheng: "Then why did you move out?"
Could it be that Liang Yuheng is unhappy because she moved out?
But that shouldn't be the case.
Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Shi Qing mustered up her courage and asked, "Don't you want me to move back?"
"I don't want to." Liang Yuheng slowly shook his head.
Shi Qing: "Why?"
I want to live with you.
Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, ripples spread through Shi Qing's heart.
Shi Qing tentatively asked, "Are you afraid of being alone?"
Liang Yuheng nodded.
I see.
Shi Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief; she had almost misunderstood: "Then you can have Zhou Gan come and keep you company."
Liang Yuheng: "It's different."
Shi Qing: "?"
The next moment, Liang Yuheng pinched her chin and kissed her.
A few seconds later, Shi Qing still hadn't realized what was going on.
She opened her eyes wide and dared not move.
Yes, Liang Yuheng was kissing her!
But why?!
Shi Qing's mind went completely blank.
She instinctively tried to push him away, but her hand was grabbed behind her back, and then she was pressed down onto the sofa.
Liang Yuheng was usually very gentle and gentlemanly towards her, but now he seemed like a different person.
Strong and domineering.
He started by kissing her lips, nibbling at them a few times. Then, as if unsatisfied, he wanted more.
Shi Qing was pinned to his chest and couldn't move at all.
Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.
But subconsciously, she didn't seem to reject kissing Liang Yuheng.
Shi Qing's gaze lingered on Liang Yuheng's handsome face, and her heart pounded faster and faster.
She knew that she truly liked him.
Although Liang Yuheng had been drinking, he smelled wonderful. As if bewitched, Shi Qing decided to follow her heart.
She closed her eyes and began to respond to the sudden kiss.
Sensing the response, Liang Yuheng seemed encouraged. A warm tongue suddenly slid in, quickly sweeping through the narrow mouth.
It was Shi Qing's first time kissing, and she couldn't breathe properly because of the kiss.
"Breathless," Liang Yuheng said in a hoarse voice, his lips slightly parted.
Upon hearing the sound, Shi Qing took a deep breath.
Immediately, Liang Yuheng's kiss landed on his lips again.
The two pressed themselves tightly together, and through the thin fabric of their clothes, they could feel each other's body temperature slowly rising.
After an unknown amount of time, Shi Qing was still dizzy from the kisses, and her lips felt a little numb before Liang Yuheng finally released her.
When they parted, their clothes were disheveled and they were both slightly out of breath.
Liang Yuheng became a little more sober. He got up from the sofa and pulled Shi Qing up.
"Please don't move away, okay?" Liang Yuheng raised his hand and wiped the water stains from the corner of Shi Qing's mouth.
