âBangâ
Outside the safety door, there was a sound of a trash can being kicked over.
âWhoâs there?â Jin Chenye was startled, and Qin Youxuan took the chance to push him away.
She turned and ran out, rushing out of the stairwell, down the stairs, quickly settling her bill, and leaving the restaurant with her bag in hand.
Jin Chenye watched her hurriedly fleeing figure, his eyes flashing indescribable sadness. The hand bracing against the wall slowly clenched into a fist, and he punched the wallâ¦
âYeâer, why did you take so long? Is everything okay?â On seeing Jin Chenye returning, Jin Lan stretched her neck from her chair in worry, warily watching behind him.
âNothingâs wrong, it was just crowded, I had to wait for a bit.â Jin Chenye casually replied, his face no longer showing the agitation from before.
âItâs good nothingâs wrong. You were gone for so long, Ziqi was worried and was about to come find you!â Jin Lan held Meng Ziqiâs hand, patting the back of her hand gently.
âYou were going to look for me?â Jin Chenyeâs gaze tightened, he raised his head and looked at Meng Ziqi, whose expression was somewhat unhappy, then raised his eyebrow.
âEh, just as I was about to go, I saw you coming back, so I returned here.â Meng Ziqi gave a mild smile, letting Jin Chenye examine her with her tender face.
Her calm face betrayed no signs of lying.
Under the table, her hand clenched into a fist.
âWe are all done eating, Iâm going home now. Ziqi, please accompany Yeâer to the company. As young people, Iâm sure you both have a lot to talk about. I donât want to be a third wheel!â Jin Lan reached out her hand to take her wheelchair, about to move when Jin Chenye quickly stood up.
âMom, let me do it.â Jin Chenye took a big stride to her side, unfolded Jin Lanâs wheelchair for her, and then helped her into it.
Then, he pushed Jin Lan outside.
From beginning to end, he did not spare an extra glance at Meng Ziqi, who was standing behind him.
Meng Ziqi stood behind him and his mother, her hand, which was holding her bag, kept gripping it tighter and tighter.
She looked at the handsome man in front of her, his words resounding in her ear again and again.
âI wonât marry any woman other than you.â
âNo one but you.â
âIn what way am I not as good as she is? Worth your defiance of public criticism and spit, still insisting on not letting goâ¦â
They are siblings, half-siblings sharing the same father!
Meng Ziqi slowed down her steps and took a deep breath, her eyes aglow with stubbornness, jealousy, and craziness.
She canât watch as Qin Youxuan ruins her beloved man. Absolutely not!
The Qin family mansion.
When Qin Youxuan returned from the company, she didnât even eat dinner and went straight to her room.
She stayed in her room and didnât come out.
Ever since she had escaped from Jin Chenye, she had been feeling disoriented.
Not because of the absurd things Jin Chenye had said to her, but because of Dan Hanjie, who had already disappeared.
How many more things was he keeping from her?
If it werenât for Jin Chenye confronting her that day, she might never have knownâ¦
âDan Hanjie, what exactly do you want to do?â
He disrupted her thoughts, then left without a word.
Qin Youxuan annoyingly buried her face into the pillow.
âKnock knockâ
âXuan, itâs me, can I come in and talk to you?â Outside the door came the gentle voice of Meng Ziqi.
She had come to the Qin house again.
Really treating it as her own home, visiting so frequently.
Is she so afraid that people wouldnât know how well sheâs getting on with Jin Chenye?
A sarcastic smile curled on Qin Youxuanâs lips, but she didnât show any intentions of getting up to open the door.
