"You actually want to fight me?"
Zhong Qingya seemed to have heard a joke. Shocked, she didn't take his words to heart at all. A man with even a little self-control wouldn't lay a hand on a woman.
Although Li Jingchen has been difficult to get along with so far, Zhong Qingya doesn't think he's a person without manners or upbringing.
And she was right.
However, the more important reason is that Zhong Qingya's status is not low, so it is inconvenient for Li Jingchen to take action.
"You're not leaving, huh?" He sneered, took out his phone and called Lin Xuan. "Come to Wanhua Garden now."
Zhong Qingya didn't know who he was calling, but judging from his tone of voice, it sounded like he was calling for thugs... His imposing manner really intimidated Zhong Qingya.
She was all alone in Liangcheng. If something really happened, the Zhong family's rescue wouldn't arrive in time.
Those who understand the times are wise.
Zhong Qingya got up with a terrible expression and was about to go upstairs. She chose a room for herself and went back inside. By not seeing each other, she could avoid some of the conflict between her and Li Jingchen.
Li Jingchen stopped her, "The door is on the left, go to the right. Where do you want to go?"
Zhong Qingya was stunned, then laughed angrily, "Li Jingchen, do you really want to get rid of me?"
"Am I joking?"
"I'm all alone in Liangcheng. Are you trying to make me homeless if you won't let me stay?" Zhong Qingya's face turned red. She had only known Li Jingchen for a few days, but she had already suffered more indignities than she had in the previous twenty years.
Li Jingchen retorted sarcastically, "The apple of the Zhong family's eye, can't even afford a hotel room?"
Zhong Qingya choked up, finding it hard to say, "My dad made me move into your house and canceled all my credit cards. I really can't afford to stay in a hotel right now."
Oh, what does it have to do with him?
Song Nuan offered helpful advice, “You can’t even afford a budget hotel for 100 yuan a night? How about a hostel for 31 yuan a night? You can borrow some money from a friend, right?”
Zhong Qingya was furious. "You want me to live in those shabby places?"
"Then you can just live on the streets." Li Jingchen didn't want to say another word to her. Just then, Lin Xuan arrived and said to him, "Get her out of here immediately. Tomorrow morning, clear out everything in the villa that belongs to her."
Lin Xuan nodded.
Li Jingchen led Song Nuan away, ignoring how sour Zhong Qingya's face was.
Unable to stay in Wanhua Garden, they eventually returned to Huayuan Community.
Song Nuan was actually very sleepy. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed feeling drowsy, but she still forced herself to stay awake. She felt that she and Li Jingchen had many problems that needed to be solved.
We can't delay any longer.
At this moment, Li Jingchen brought hot milk into the bedroom.
"It's just hot, be careful not to burn yourself."
The man's sharply defined face was particularly striking in the dim yellow light, like a protagonist in a certain drama who is restrained and patient, who, despite being at the height of his desire, still gently heats the milk.
It's not that Song Nuan is prone to daydreaming, but rather that Li Jingchen always does this.
When he gives her hot milk, it means tonight will be a night that requires mental or physical exertion.
She hasn't had any work lately that requires her to use her brainpower to work overtime, so...
Song Nuan silently put on another coat. Although wearing a hundred coats wouldn't help when Li Jingchen was in a beastly frenzy, she just considered it a psychological comfort.
"Does this mean your engagement is no longer considered dissolved?"
Li Jingchen's eyes darkened. "Let's not talk about her, it's disgusting."
He sat behind her, pulled her into his arms, leaned against her thin shoulders, and breathed warmly on her, slowly kissing her chin.
The atmosphere was warm.
It had been so long since they had been intimate that Song Nuan was quickly aroused by him.
They have many memories in Huayuan, dating back to when he was still Lu Ziyang. In fact, Huayuan is more like their home than Wanhua Garden.
"Be gentle, I'm going to Maple Leaf tomorrow, don't leave any marks on me."
Li Jingchen smiled and unbuttoned his shirt. "Just cover it up with foundation. If that doesn't work, you can just wear clothes to cover it up."
"Get lost." Song Nuan tried to kick him, but it was just a show; she didn't use much force.
"Let's roll together, roll until we're satisfied."
A night of absurdity.
Afterwards, the ambiguous smell in the bedroom lingered. Li Jingchen was restrained, so Song Nuan didn't faint from exhaustion. She leaned on his shoulder to rest, breathing softly.
The man's chest suddenly trembled. "Nuan Nuan, I saw your household registration book."
Song Nuan's eyes widened, and she subconsciously reached for her clothes pocket.
She took it out of her pocket while showering and casually put it...where did she put it?!
Even with his back to her, Li Jingchen could easily see through her thoughts. He held her fidgeting hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, it's not lost. I've put it away."
"Where did you take it? Give it back to me."
"I'll give it back to you." He gently bit her neck, like tickling her. Song Nuan shrank back, and then heard him say, "Let's go get our marriage certificate, and I'll give it back to you after we get it, okay?"
The man's large hands began to move erratically.
Song Nuan's ears turned slightly red as she pressed down on his restless hand. "Li Jingchen, I'm talking about serious matters."
“I’m talking about serious business.” His voice carried a satisfied smile. “Why would I need to carry my household registration booklet? I can’t think of any other reason besides getting a marriage certificate.”
"I admit, when I got the household registration book tonight, I did have the urge to marry you." Song Nuan turned her back to him and looked into his eyes as she spoke each word clearly.
Li Jingchen chuckled self-deprecatingly; his words were anything but cheerful.
"But when I opened the door, I saw Zhong Qingya. No, I couldn't even enter the password for the door correctly."
Song Nuan gave a bitter smile.
She knew Li Jingchen was unhappy, but was she happy?
“People have been telling me that we’re not a good match, that the disparity in our family backgrounds is an obstacle between us. I know very well that this is a chasm that is hard to cross, but it’s not that there’s no way to overcome it.”
“I thought love could overcome all obstacles, but in reality, the Li family doesn’t recognize my identity, and I can’t even enter the door of our former home.”
Song Nuan was unwilling to admit it, but this was the most shocking thing to her.
It's not even a complete event; it's just one link in the chain.
"Warm and cozy..."
Song Nuan gently covered his mouth, "Listen to me first."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Zhong Qingya. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known that there was such a big gap between me and the Li family, and between me and you."
"I originally thought that since you manage the Li Group, you should have a certain say in the Li family, but now it seems that it's not as simple as I thought. A group and a family... are ultimately different, aren't they?"
The man's expression had already given Song Nuan the answer.
She didn't know much about the Li family; since Li Jingchen didn't say anything, she had no way of finding out.
"I will take you to meet the uncles of the Li family."
"No need." Song Nuan smiled. "I don't want to see them. I know that big families have many rules. I'm not Zhong Qingya, and I can't adapt to them."
Li Jingchen frowned deeply. "Don't mention her."
