Yue Tingfeng shook his head. “I’m not him, and I will never be like him. I know the name of my woman, I know where she lives—I know that I have to hold on to her tightly and leave no room for other men to steal her away.”
Yan Qingsi’s lips curled upwards. “That’s true. You’re not like him.”
“We will not be like them. I’ll give you happiness.”
Yan Qingsi reached out and hugged Yue Tingfeng.
“You better fulfill your promise then.”
“I will!”
…
Yue Tingfeng scratched his head. “Actually… I have something to tell you too,” he said. “I didn’t go to work in the afternoon yesterday. I went to the graveyard in the suburbs and met You Yi. I needed to understand what he wanted to do, see?”
Yan Qingsi cast him a side-glance. “What did you talk to him about?”
“Nothing much. Just an earnest man-to-man talk.”
Yan Qingsi snickered.
“It’s really nothing. I didn’t know what he intended to do, so I had to issue him a warning first.”
Yan Qingsi shook her head. “Don’t worry. He won’t hurt me.”
Yan Qingsi remembered You Yi claiming that he would not let anyone hurt her. A wave of coolness had swept over Yan Qingsi’s heart when she heard that sentence. That should have been something that her birth father said, but… her birth father was a b*stard, and a random guy had told her this instead.
Yue Tingfeng caressed Yan Qingsi’s head. “I won’t either.”
“I know.”
…
It was a long time past nine when the two finally went down.
Yan Qingsi could not help but blush at Mrs. Yue’s knowing smile, embarrassment swept over her.
“You two must be hungry. Eat some snacks first,” Mrs. Yue said in a conspiratorial tone. “We’ll make something delicious for lunch, something that will replenish your energy.”
Yan Qingsi pinched Yue Tingfeng’s back with a hard twist, her face entirely red.
Yue Tingfeng clenched his teeth at the pain. “Mom, I’ll go to the kitchen with you. I’ll help you prepare the dishes.”
After Yue Tingfeng finished eating, he made Yan Qingsi stay at home while he went to the office. “The company has been busy lately. I need to check up on it. Both of you better stay put at home. If I’m not back by noon, go ahead and eat first. Don’t wait for me.”
Mrs. Yue pursed her lips. “Do you have to go?”
“Of course I do. Otherwise, how am I supposed to support two prodigal women in my house?”
Yue Tingfeng pulled Mrs. Yue and Yan Qingsi into a hug. “I’m off. You two better stay at home, okay?”
Mrs. Yue waved a dismissal hand after he left. “Jeez. He’s so unreliable himself. What’s he to expect of us two?” she said, pouting. She wheeled around and tugged on Yan Qingsi’s hand. “Qingsi, let’s go shopping!”
Yan Qingsi cleared her throat. “Auntie…”
Mrs. Yue pouted again. “I’m just saying.”
“I’ve managed to get samples of two episodes of ‘Requiem’ from Miss Mai. Why don’t you watch them with me?”
“But I want to contribute to your ratings?”
“No worries. This is a web drama. It won’t air on TV. When it comes you just help us to keep replaying it.”
“Oh, how nice! Let’s watch it quickly…”
…
Yan Qingsi rested at home for the entire day. She then got a call from You Yi, who asked to meet her.
Yan Qingsi had known that he would definitely want to see her. She pondered on the thought for a while, then told Mrs. Yue that she was going out for a while.
Mrs. Yue called the family chauffeur to send her there since she did not call Xiao Xu or Ji Mianmian to come along.
Yan Qingsi scanned her surroundings once she arrived at the destination You Yi provided. It was a famous club in Luo city that practiced a membership system. If you were not a member here, you could not even enter!
