Chapter 380: You Have the Right to Be My Woman
"Same here."
Lin Yilan didn't think so. She knew her own limitations very well! She couldn't be compared to the man next to her, who had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. She glanced at their tightly clasped hands and slowly pulled them apart. "Alright, we've been holding hands all the way, and you're not done with the show yet?"
Huo Juncheng asked in surprise: "Acting?" When did he start acting?
"I love you so openly and honestly, haven't you noticed?"
Lin Yilan looked at him calmly: "No!"
"Lin Yilan, do I have to confess my love to you every day for you to know I love you?" Huo Juncheng held Lin Yilan back, preventing her from moving forward. The consequence of this was... Lin Yilan kept pulling him forward like a chicken! In order to compete with Lin Yilan, Huo Juncheng stumbled a few steps and almost fell.
Passersby looked at the two in surprise, thinking they were just a couple joking around. One of the elderly women even punched the old man next to her: "See? If you had been so accommodating when you were young, I wouldn't have decided after my third marriage that the love of a fool like you is the best for me."
"Old lady, we are already quite old, why are you still bringing this up?"
"What? To defeat you, of course!"
"Okay, okay, defeat me."
…
When Chu Siran returned to the Chu family, he saw Chu Xi sitting in the living room in a daze. Mother Chu walked around the living room several times, but Chu Xi didn't notice her presence. She stared straight ahead without blinking, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Chu Siran changed her slippers at the entrance and called out coquettishly, "Mommy!"
"Hey, my precious daughter, you're back." Mother Chu put down everything in her hands and moved towards Chu Siran. Chu Siran immediately saw Chu Xi sitting in the living room. She glanced over there, raised her head slightly and asked, "Mom, what is she doing?"
"I don't know. I've been sitting here all afternoon."
"Oh." Chu Siran, who never could hide anything, pulled his mother aside and said, "Mommy, I have something important to tell you!"
Mother Chu interrupted her directly: "We'll talk about the important things later. Didn't you go to the Qin family? How was your contact with Qin Chaotian? Did any sparks fly?"
"Mom, this is what I want to tell you!"
Chu Xi's thoughts slowly came back to her senses when she heard the three words Qin Chaotian. She tilted her head stiffly and looked towards Chu Siran and Chu's mother: "Sister, you're back."
Chu Siran glanced at Chu Xi warily, then pulled Chu's mother to his room: "Mom, let's go back to my room and tell you about this private matter slowly."
"good."
Private matters!
When Chu Xi heard the word "private," all her emotions suddenly flooded her. Could it be that Qin Chaotian and Chu Siran had already done that? Had she gone to their house just now to meet him?
The more I think about it, the more confused my mind becomes.
She really couldn't stand it anymore. After Chu Siran returned to the room, she called Qin Chaotian directly: "Qin Chaotian, I want to meet you!"
"Um?"
"I have something important to talk to you about. Very important!"
Qin Chaotian's eyes were like a bottomless black pool, and he narrowed them slightly: "Chu Xi, what are you so anxious about? Why do you have to explain it clearly over the phone?"
"It's very important! I'll talk about it when we meet."
Chu Xi also kept a watchful eye on herself. Before going to find Qin Chaotian, she copied the file Song Siyu gave her to her computer. Although she liked Qin Chaotian, she couldn't help but be on guard against him.
After she copied all the files, she hid the USB drive, said hello to Mother Chu, and left.
Before leaving, he sent another text message to Song Siyu: [I've already left to find Qin Chaotian. I'll let you know when it's over.]
Song Siyu: [You should have figured it out long ago. I'll wait for you.]
Chu Xi and Qin Chaotian had an appointment at Qin Chaotian's house. The nanny had already cleaned up Qin Chaotian's vomit. The housekeeper was standing at the door waiting for Qin Chaotian's guests. When he saw Chu Xi get out of the car, he made a respectful gesture of "please." "Miss Chu, right? Please come in."
"Thanks."
The housekeeper took Chu Xi to the study on the second floor, where Qin Chaotian was reading a collection of love poems by a modern poet. She glanced at the title, which happened to be one she liked, and couldn't help but ask, "Does Mr. Qin like this book too?"
Qin Chaotian glanced at the title and didn't refute: "Yes, his poems are all good."
"Yeah... We really are alike. We like the same things." In Chu Xi's eyes, these were all signs that the two of them were destined to be together, but she didn't know how much Qin Chaotian hated people who looked so much like him.
He hid all his emotions, leaving only a superficial smile: "Yes, very similar." Qin Chaotian opened his mouth and asked Chu Xi directly what important matter she had to talk about before they met. Chu Xi knew that what was coming would always come. If she didn't say it, Qin Chaotian would probably get engaged to Chu Siran.
Chu Xi tightened her clothes and spoke tremblingly, "Mr. Qin... I... know all your secrets."
"Hmm?" This piqued Qin Chaotian's interest. He slowly raised his head and this time focused his gaze on Chu Xi seriously. He repeated, "You, know all my secrets?"
Chu Xi didn't make it clear, but only mentioned it vaguely: "Yes, including the death of your brother Qin Fenghan."
Qin Chaotian paused, his hand gripping the book. "Conditions." His mind reacted extremely quickly! Chu Xi knew about his affairs, so he must have evidence against him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to him so ostentatiously.
Since he didn't choose to expose him, he must want to use the thing in his hand to do something to himself.
"Marry me." Chu Xi raised her eyes tremblingly and looked at Qin Chaotian nervously. She was very timid. She looked at him for a while and then lowered her head. Finally, she gritted her teeth and continued, "I like Mr. Qin very much. I know why Mr. Qin married Chu Siran... I can give you what you want. I want you to marry me because I really like you. I know this way seems insincere, but I really can't think of any other way..." This was the only way she could attract his attention.
Qin Chaotian wanted power, but she didn't have it.
I want a capable girlfriend, but she is not.
Qin Chaotian had a mocking smile on his lips, and with a thud, he threw the book in his hand to the ground. He looked calmly at the trembling girl standing in front of him: "Ms. Chu Xi keeps saying she loves me, but she uses the most despicable threats!" He thought for a moment and suddenly smiled: "Yes, you have the potential to be my woman! If you want something in this world, you have to use any means to get it!"
