Chapter 173 Joining Forces
I woke up from a nap and the sky had fallen.
After hearing the whole story, Zhang Yuanyuan looked at her cousin with guilt.
"sorry."
It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have gotten this bad.
"It's not your fault."
Yan Qing let out a soft sigh of relief: "My relationship with An'an... was a mess to begin with."
An Jin's refusal to settle scores does not mean their relationship is normal.
The reason it has become like this is simply because there are a series of bad debts that cannot be wiped clean.
Those who have seen high mountains cannot help but pursue them.
An Jin is like that.
The same applies to Yan Qing.
He could have let go and given up on An Jin, this flawed person with moral shortcomings.
But how could he be content with that?
How could I willingly return to the bottom of the unchanging well, becoming that frog boiled alive by worldly words?
Zhang Yuanyuan gazed intently at Yan Qing, at this child who had always lived in her parents' eyes, the child of someone else's family.
"It's not a bad debt."
Zhang Yuanyuan witnessed the beginning of An Jin and Yan Qing's relationship. She reached out and grabbed Yan Qing's dejected arm, saying solemnly, "You and An An are not a mess."
"Brother, I will help you."
Zhang Yuanyuan looked firmly into Yan Qing's eyes: "I can see that An'an treats you differently, brother. If you're willing, I can help you."
Yan Qing: "Help me...?"
Zhang Yuanyuan gripped Yan Qing's arm tightly: "I'll help you! No matter how powerful Chen Su is, he's just a passerby in An'an's life."
"Brother, only you, only you are An'an's eternal home!"
Zhang Yuanyuan's words dispelled Yan Qing's frustration and sorrow.
He reached out and gently patted Zhang Yuanyuan's hand reassuringly: "How do you want to help me?"
Zhang Yuanyuan said, "An'an's idea is very good, but the only problem is that even if she can keep a mistress, she can't have frequent contact with you under Chen Su's nose."
"Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, there will always be mistakes."
Zhang Yuanyuan said softly, "I can be the patch to fix this flaw."
Yan Qing: "No."
He looked at Zhang Yuanyuan and refused, saying, "I can't drag you into my business with An'an."
Zhang Yuanyuan has her own career and life; he cannot treat her like this.
There was no one on the balcony where the two of them were, and Zhang Yuanyuan didn't hide it from her cousin.
She said directly, "Brother, this isn't just helping you, it's also helping myself."
“I rose to prominence thanks to An’an. Once you all left, the distance between An’an and me grew, and that bond between us gradually faded.”
"I'm relying on An'an's network, so naturally I need to maintain a good relationship with An'an."
"Brother, I know that An'an is not sure she can truly consider you a friend. If you are An'an's lover, then in An'an's heart, I'm afraid I'm just a cute little puppy."
"But for me, An An, and the traffic that An An brings me, is something I can't refuse."
In just a few months, Zhang Yuanyuan has earned over a million yuan.
With so much money, Zhang Yuanyuan smoothed over the family's conflicts caused by financial difficulties and also fueled her ambition.
Zhang Yuanyuan knew perfectly well that she wasn't cut out for live streaming.
She couldn't keep her older brothers and sisters around; only after An Jin finished her broadcast would her live stream truly become lively.
"Brother, I'll help you, and you help me too."
Zhang Yuanyuan gripped Yan Qing's arm tightly: "Let's stay by An'an's side forever, okay?"
So that's what Yuanyuan was thinking.
Yan Qing sighed: "Why bother? Perhaps if you leave now, your future will be brighter."
Zhang Yuanyuan firmly stated, "I cannot gamble."
With such a lucrative opportunity right in front of her, how could she possibly gamble on it?
Yan Qing then fell silent.
His dark eyes stared intently at Zhang Yuanyuan for a long time before he gave in.
“I will talk to An’an.”
He stroked Zhang Yuanyuan's head: "But before that, you need to discuss this with your parents."
A smile bloomed on Zhang Yuanyuan's face, and she said confidently, "They will agree."
Amidst the rhythmic rumble of suitcases, An Jin and her two companions, having finished packing, embarked on their journey home.
Pei Ning was kept behind by Xue Mingyue. Unlike An Jin, they were used to living a nomadic life, so they didn't need to go back to pack their things and move.
It was late at night when I got home.
After confirming that Zhang Yuanyuan had arrived home safely, Yan Qing quickly took a shower and went to bed.
An Jin was faster than him. She was lying in bed when Yan Qing came in. She habitually put down her phone and fell asleep in his arms.
The moment their bodies embraced warmly, Yan Qing realized that the two of them had already spent summer and autumn together.
The next day.
Yan Qing told An Jin about Zhang Yuanyuan's idea.
"OK."
An Jin told Yan Qing with admiration, "You two siblings teamed up to treat me like the emperor."
Yan Qing was amused, and only then did she reach out and stroke Yan Qing's smooth, silky skin.
"And what about you?"
An Jin's smile held a lot of questions she didn't understand, so she asked him again.
"Would you like to be my empress?"
Yan Qing smiled gently and asked her, "Will I help you manage the harem?"
An Jin smiled and stood on tiptoe to offer her soft lips.
It was like a scene from an idol drama, with the two kissing in the winter sunshine.
As their lips met, An Jin heard the answer she had been searching for.
He agreed.
So she agreed.
Their bodies were intertwined.
