A knock sounded at the door, and the waiter brought in the food. Qin Yan carefully examined each dish to make sure there were no inedible items. He checked and replied as he went.
You can call me whatever you want.
After confirming that everything was alright, he ladled some soup and placed it in front of her. She ate slowly, chewing each bite carefully. If she ate too quickly, her stomach would start to rebel, so she dared not eat too fast.
Qin Yan watched as she chewed her food, her cheeks puffing out slightly, and her hair falling out, making it a little inconvenient. He reached out to her for a hair tie.
Yun Nuan felt through all her pockets before finally finding the hair tie, which she had casually put in her pocket last time. She handed it to Qin Yan.
She was still eating when Qin Yan stepped forward and lifted her hair. He stood behind her, frozen for a long time, his hands gripping her hair, unable to get the hang of it.
Yun Nuan put down her spoon, intending to help herself, but he interrupted her in a deep voice, "Don't move, I'll do it. You eat yours. Take your time, and I'll have them heat the food up if it gets too cold."
"The food is still warm, I'll do it myself, you should go and eat too."
He refused; he was determined to figure out how her hair was tied today. Yun Nuan's hair was very long, reaching her waist. Her long hair was as smooth and shiny as silk, and she used the same shampoo as him, which made him inexplicably happy.
It seemed as if all the nutrients in her body had gone into her long hair. Yun Nuan herself didn't particularly care about her hair, or rather, she didn't care much about herself as a whole. It was Aunt Lan who couldn't bear to see her long hair being ruined.
Every time, Aunt Lan would wash her hair, blow-dry it, and condition it. Qin Yan had never done these things herself, but she had seen Aunt Lan blow-dry her hair.
Like a waterfall, the flowing hair is soft and gentle, but even more beautiful is its owner.
He tentatively tried to fix it, creating a very ugly and loose hairstyle. He didn't dare let Yun Nuan know, and took it off before she could say anything.
After several attempts, it finally worked just when she was about to lose her patience. This time it was only slightly better than the first time. The only good thing was that her hair stopped falling out. Otherwise, it was alright.
"Don't eat too much tonight, you'll need to drink medicinal cuisine when you get home later," Qin Yan reminded her.
She was already drowsy from eating, having missed her lunch break. Her weak body was exhausted, but the day's experiences had been so interesting that she didn't want it to end so easily.
She put down her chopsticks, her eyes misty, tears welling in the corners. She rubbed her eyes vigorously, until they were red and swollen. When Qin Yan returned after paying the bill, he saw her rough movements and immediately pulled her hand to stop her.
"You treat your own eyes so roughly, just sleep when you're tired. With me here, how could I not take you home?"
She opened her eyes and looked at Qin Yan, then suddenly laughed as if she had thought of something, her soft voice opening...
"I'm a domineering CEO with red eyes now, the kind who'd give you his life."
Qin Yan couldn't keep up with her train of thought, but she could agree with anything she said, such as, "You can keep your own life and live to be a hundred years old. Can you still walk?"
Yun Nuan: "If this doesn't work, what should we do?"
She was just joking, and she didn't expect him to pick up a tissue and naturally wipe her mouth, then throw the tissue away and pick her up before she could react.
"If that doesn't work, I'll carry you on my back or carry you on my shoulder. If all else fails, I'll at least lift you up."
He didn't seem to be joking, but Yun Nuan was; she patted his shoulder.
"No, put me down quickly, someone will see us."
Qin Yan deliberately jerked her slightly, startling her so much that she quickly hugged his neck, glaring at him angrily. He pulled her up, burying her face in his chest.
"No one can see it now, so you can relax."
The warm scent enveloped her, making her heart flutter again. She felt a mix of unease and a quiet joy stirring within her.
After thinking it over, Yunxue told Zhou Yue that she didn't want to get close to Qin Yan, and that the person she liked had always been Lin Yu.
Zhou Yue was furious after hearing this, but she always maintained a gentle demeanor in front of her daughter. She suppressed her temper and patiently explained her plan to Yun Xue.
"Xiaoxue, haven't you seen the current situation clearly? If you want to climb to a higher position, enjoy endless wealth and glory, and even have all the socialites worship you..."
Then you must stand by Qin Yan's side; there is no better choice in the entire S City than Qin Yan.
Lin Yu hasn't graduated yet, and he doesn't have any real power right now. Following him is not as good as following Qin Yan, don't you think?"
Inside the Yun family's villa, the entire interior was decorated in a luxurious style, which reflected Zhou Yue's aesthetic. She liked this kind of golden, glittering style, giving her the feeling that she had all the wealth in her own hands.
Yun Xue pursed her lips, her face troubled. She didn't want to; she disliked Yun Nuan because Zhou Yue said she disliked her, plus Yun Nuan was always clinging to Lin Yu.
This angered her about the other person's actions. She felt that Yun Nuan was doing it on purpose, deliberately trying to steal Lin Yu from her. That sickly girl didn't even know what liking someone meant, but she knew how to make her angry.
"Mom, stop talking. Our family isn't doing badly either. Isn't Yun Nuan leaving just what we wanted? Didn't you hate her the most? The best outcome is that she's not showing up now."
So I don’t care who she’s with or who she likes. I just want Brother Lin Yu. I don’t want to do what you’re talking about.”
Zhou Yue looked at her daughter, a burning anger raging within her. Who was she doing all this for? In this cannibalistic world, only by standing firm could one avoid being swallowed up.
Her face was cold and ruthless; the gentle facade she once possessed was long gone. She glared at Yunxue and shouted in a shrill voice.
"Yunxue, you must listen to me on this matter. I've never asked you for anything in my life, except for this one thing. You must do it for me, no matter what method you use."
Qin Yan is better than ten Lin Yus. Your so-called love and affection won't last long. Only money and status can give you a sense of security. If you don't do it, then don't blame your mother for being ruthless!
Yunxue was so frightened that she stood up and looked at her from a distance, her eyes filled with fear. She looked at Zhou Yue as if she were a stranger.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Our family doesn't lack these things. Aren't you living the life of a wealthy wife? Why are you still thinking about fighting for them?"
Qin Yan isn't as approachable as you think. Since his leg healed, he's rarely appeared in public. Besides, the Lin family isn't bad either. If I could be with Brother Lin Yu, wouldn't that help the Yun family?
With a sharp "snap," the entire villa fell silent. Her face was turned to one side, and Yun Xue covered her face, staring at Zhou Yue in disbelief.
"You hit me?" Zhou Yue would never hit her before, no matter how angry she was. She would always pat her head and say, "It's okay, Mom doesn't blame you."
But now Zhou Yue hit her without hesitation.
Zhou Yue looked at her coldly and spoke indifferently.
"Are you awake now?"
