Su Changfeng is not a coward.
However, that day when she was arguing with someone downstairs and that night at Charming, he didn’t stand up for her. What was the reason? Could it be that Su Changfeng simply didn’t want to meddle because of her?
And that time when she and Wang Feifei were kidnapped, Su Changfeng clearly stated that if it weren’t for Wang Feifei, he might not have come.
Chen Xueqi gradually clenched her back teeth, and the image of Su Changfeng as a coward had long been deeply ingrained in her heart. But at this moment, Chen Xueqi had to overturn that image because with today’s performance, Su Changfeng definitely couldn’t be a coward.
With so many people in line, only Su Changfeng stood up, and he even drove away that man with the tattooed arm. Could a coward have done that?
The only explanation for why Su Changfeng would show timidity in front of Chen Xueqi is that he didn’t want to do anything for her. Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥
Chen Xueqi’s chest heaved violently. There were so many people pursuing her, and some even planned a "hero saves the beauty" scenario. But when such an opportunity arose for Su Changfeng, he didn’t care.
This was not some tactic of playing hard to get. Chen Xueqi could clearly feel it; Su Changfeng truly didn’t care about her at all, to the point where he didn’t even take her seriously.
Su Changfeng returned home. Yue Qingshan hadn’t gotten up yet, and Su Changfeng knew she must have slept very late last night, so he didn’t wake her. Instead, he placed the soy milk and dough sticks he bought on the dining table and ate his share.
To be honest, though they looked the same as the usual soy milk and dough sticks, the taste was noticeably different. Especially the soy milk, its smooth texture and slight sweetness were unmatched by usual soy milk, and the dough sticks were just as soft and not overly greasy. No wonder the business was so booming.
After finishing his meal, Su Changfeng went to the bathroom to take a shower and was ready to leave.
Just as Su Changfeng entered the bathroom, Yue Qingshan’s room door quietly opened.
Peeking her head out like a thief, she observed briefly. Seeing that Su Changfeng was indeed in the shower, she cautiously tiptoed to the living room.
Seeing the soy milk and dough sticks on the dining table, Yue Qingshan, like a little mouse, sneakily took them back to her room.
Just holding the soy milk and dough sticks, happiness spread across Yue Qingshan’s face. She was reluctant to eat them because it was the first time Su Changfeng had personally brought her breakfast—a truly memorable gesture.
Luckily, these things couldn’t be made into specimens; otherwise, Yue Qingshan might have considered doing something that crazy.
Happily sipping the soy milk and taking a bite of the dough stick, she instantly felt that no delicacy could compare—not sea cucumbers, abalone, or giant lobsters—nothing matched this simple breakfast.
After just finishing her breakfast, a knock came at the door, specifically at Yue Qingshan’s room, startling her so much that she quickly jumped onto her bed and wrapped herself like a cocoon.
Su Changfeng knocked for a while without hearing any response inside, but the breakfast on the table was gone. He smiled helplessly, "I’m heading out now. No need to make an extra portion for me."
Upon hearing Su Changfeng’s words, Yue Qingshan felt a pang of disappointment, collapsing onto her bed as if all energy had been drained from her.
During Su Changfeng’s recovery, Yue Qingshan hoped he would recover as soon as possible.
However, once Su Changfeng recovered, their time together seemed to dwindle. This made Yue Qingshan secretly wish for Su Changfeng to get injured again, as only then could she have a reason to stay by his side and care for him.
After changing into a clean set of clothes in his room, Su Changfeng left.
Upon hearing the door close, Yue Qingshan finally emerged from her room, not even bothering to put on shoes as she walked to the door, hoping to catch a glimpse of Su Changfeng through the peephole.
However, just as she arrived, the door suddenly opened.
Su Changfeng had forgotten his phone and came back.
Yue Qingshan stood there, tiptoeing with a cautious expression, resembling a thief.
"What are you doing?" Su Changfeng asked curiously.
Yue Qingshan let out a small cry and hurried back to her room, slamming the door shut with a bang.
With a face full of helplessness, Su Changfeng looked at her door, picked up his phone, and left.
This time, Yue Qingshan didn’t come out because she was too embarrassed, wishing she could just disappear into a hole in the ground.
After a long while, Yue Qingshan calmed down from her embarrassed state, exiting her room to the living room, planning to watch some TV to relax.
But just then, another knock came at the door, arousing her suspicion like a startled bird.
Yue Qingshan’s current demeanor was quite comical; indeed, she was somewhat afraid of meeting Su Changfeng because she feared he would tell her to leave again. For Yue Qingshan to continue staying here, she thought that avoiding discussing this issue with Su Changfeng or not meeting him would be the best approach.
However, Su Changfeng had a key, so if he wanted to come back, he could just open the door. Why knock?
Cautiously walking on tiptoe to the door, Yue Qingshan looked through the peephole, her expression turning from cautious to icy when she saw who it was.
"What are you doing here?" she asked coldly after opening the door to see Dong Hao.
"Miss, I just wanted to see you," Dong Hao said.
Yue Qingshan replied coldly, "Nothing happened here. You don’t need to come looking for me. If there’s anything, I’ll contact you myself."
Dong Hao missed Yue Qingshan so much that he came to see her, even though he knew she had already fallen for Su Changfeng. He hoped his presence would calm her down.
From the beginning, Dong Hao thought Su Changfeng wasn’t worth Yue Qingshan’s effort, and that she was merely using him to solve the Zhou Family’s current troubles, not involving her emotions.
"Miss, I don’t want you to get hurt because of this. Su Changfeng isn’t worth it," Dong Hao said.
Dong Hao had been fond of Yue Qingshan since childhood. Even after being rejected when he mustered the courage to confess, he never gave up.
"Whether it’s worth it or not has nothing to do with you. Don’t forget your position, and remember that emotions can’t be forced. Just like you say you like me, it doesn’t mean I have to like you back. It’s the same as me liking Su Changfeng, even though he doesn’t accept me," Yue Qingshan said.
