Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chu Qing remained the most astute among them, accurately surmising the majority of Mrs. Ye’s thoughts. He felt a mixture of helplessness and sentimentality in response. The word “marry” brought about a sense of powerlessness in him. However, he also felt touched by Mrs. Ye’s genuine concern for his well-being. He recognized that her intentions stemmed from a place of goodwill, despite the complex emotions that the situation evoked within him.
Both Mrs. Ye and Zhai Yu harbored their own misunderstandings. Mrs. Ye remained unaware of the true nature of Zhai Yu and Chu Qing’s relationship, leading her to mistakenly believe that Zhai Yu had deceived Chu Qing. She was unaware that Chu Qing had willingly chosen to associate with Zhai Yu, and it was not solely due to Zhai Yu’s influence. Mrs. Ye failed to recognize that Chu Qing had his own agency in the matter.
From Zhai Yu’s perspective, he perceived Mrs. Ye’s excessive concern for Chu Qing. However, when he caught sight of Ye Chenxi, he started to grasp the underlying dynamics. Recognizing Mrs. Ye’s desire for Ye Chenxi to remain present, Zhai Yu realized that it would be inappropriate for Chu Qing to stay and “accompany” him. Thus, he understood the need to let Chu Qing accompany Ye Chenxi instead.
Since Ye Chenxi was always present wherever Chu Qing went, Zhai Yu hesitated to trouble Chu Qing but didn’t dare to let Ye Chenxi accompany him in welcoming the guests. As a result, he had no choice but to allow Chu Qing to accompany Ye Chenxi instead. Zhai Yu couldn’t help but acknowledge the effectiveness of Mrs. Ye’s strategy. She effortlessly broke the stalemate by skillfully redirecting the situation and selecting Chu Qing without any hesitation.
Given Ye Chenxi’s impulsive nature, she had no inkling of the deeper implications at play. She simply followed Chu Qing obediently to the private room arranged by Zhai Yu. Meanwhile, she vented her frustrations to Chu Qing about her mother’s recent overwhelming arrangements and how busy she had become as a result. She complained that she had been unable to find time for Chu Qing and even expressed her disappointment, believing that Chu Qing had forgotten about her.
As she spoke, she didn’t forget to hug Chu Qing’s arm and nuzzle her chest unintentionally, looking like a female hooligan.
Chu Qing felt the flesh on his arm and could not help but feel angry.
What a torturous little vixen.
Chu Qing gradually accepted Ye Chenxi, who had experienced so many things together.
While Chu Qing did have some reservations about being Ye Chenxi’s 36th boyfriend, he wasn’t overly bothered by it. He didn’t hold a rigid stance on such matters. As long as Ye Chenxi didn’t engage in reckless behavior in the future, he was willing to accept their relationship. Chu Qing didn’t let small details overshadow his overall perspective.
At that moment, Ye Chenxi’s heart was completely consumed by her feelings for Chu Qing. Ever since Chu Qing had rescued her from the interference of the Li family, she had made a firm decision not to marry anyone other than him. Her determination to be with Chu Qing was unwavering, and her heart belonged solely to him.
At times, Ye Chenxi contemplated whether she should take immediate action against Chu Qing. She entertained the idea of making a bold move and seizing the opportunity to solidify their relationship. After all, Chu Qing was the first person who had stirred such strong emotions within her. She attributed her current predicament to the influence of unreliable medicine. Memories of the incident involving drugging Chu Qing resurfaced in her mind.
Ye Chenxi couldn’t help but dwell on the past events, feeling frustrated that her previous attempts to confess her feelings had ultimately been in vain. She felt a sense of disappointment, considering all the efforts she had put into her plan. Moreover, she couldn’t forget Chu Qing’s mention of being her 36th boyfriend, and she wondered if he would hold it against her or be bothered by it. The uncertainty of his reaction lingered in her thoughts.
Contrary to her outward bravado, deep down, Ye Chenxi didn’t possess as much courage as she projected. Being the daughter of a mafia boss, her bold claims were often a front to save face. In reality, when it came to matters of the heart, she remained quite timid and unsure. The confident facade she displayed masked her underlying hesitations and insecurities.
As Ye Chenxi observed Chu Qing discreetly, her mind filled with concerns about the potential gains and losses in their relationship. She couldn’t help but steal glances at him along the way. Unbeknownst to her, Chu Qing sensed the intensity of her gaze, causing an odd sensation to creep up his spine. Upon entering the private room, he couldn’t contain his curiosity and humorously asked, “Is there something on my face?”
“No.” Ye Chenxi shook her head.
“Then why are you looking at me like that?”
“Because you look good. Hehe.”
“…” Chu Qing was speechless.
Ye Chenxi pulled Chu Qing to sit down on the sofa. This was the second floor of the auction hall. There were walls on three sides of the private room. On the side facing the booth, there was a huge glass inlaid. Through the glass, one could clearly see everything below. On the other hand, the people below could not see the people in the private room through the glass.
“Will the Spirit Stone you mentioned really appear at the auction?” Ye Chenxi thought of the Spirit Stone that Chu Qing had once taken out at the Ye residence and asked. She actually did not care about this. This was what her mother cared about.
“Yes, there will be about 10 of them,” Chu Qing replied as he took out two bottles of drinks, a bottle of wine, and a cup of milk tea from the fridge in the private room.
Chu Qing handed the milk tea to Ye Chenxi, but her eyes were momentarily fixated on the wine in his hand. It dawned on Chu Qing that in this world, it seemed that all women, including Ye Chenxi, indulged in drinking. He found himself taken aback by this realization, understanding that the cultural norms and practices of this world differed significantly from what he was accustomed to.
“You don’t like women who drink?” Ye Chenxi was stunned for a moment. She took a sip of the milk tea that Chu Qing handed over and asked.
“Not really.” Chu Qing sat down opposite Ye Chenxi and answered.
“Hey, if you don’t like me drinking, I can quit.” Ye Chenxi stood up and walked over to Chu Qing’s side.
Upon realizing his own potentially dangerous thoughts, Chu Qing hastily took a sip of wine to compose himself. He wondered if he had successfully manipulated Ye Chenxi. The rapid beating of his heart betrayed his inner turmoil. Seeking to maintain a safe distance, Chu Qing quickly seated himself away from Ye Chenxi. He feared that if their closeness persisted, he might lose control and give in to his desires.
Seeing that Chu Qing was avoiding her, Ye Chenxi frowned. A trace of loneliness flashed across her eyes. She pouted and said carefully, “I brought a maid outfit and rabbit ears.”
Chu Qing involuntarily spewed out a mouthful of wine, completely caught off guard by Ye Chenxi’s unexpectedly bold action. He never anticipated that she would actually follow through with what she had casually mentioned earlier..
