Qin Chaoyan frowned slightly, staring at Ye Rongxu’s beautiful and delicate face with his dark eyes, as if trying to see what the young master was up to.
Ye Rongxu was holding a thermos cup. His eyelashes curled, his eyes were clear and innocent, and he was not angry even when his neck was being held.
Qin Chaoyan frowned even deeper. When this young master didn’t show disgust on his face, he was suddenly unable to see the other party’s true purpose.
At this time, hurried footsteps were approaching the alley.
It was Uncle Chen, the bodyguard, who hurried over after discovering that Ye Rongxu had disappeared.
Qin Chaoyan’s face changed slightly, and the hand that was holding Ye Rongxu’s neck suddenly moved to the back of his neck, pinching him like a kitten, not very hard, and the other hand touched his soft waist.
Ye Rongxu: “!” What are you doing? What are you going to do again?
At night, alley, big devil, trapped between the wall, touch-touching waist…? !
In an instant, countless images from that dream flashed through his mind. Could it be that the big devil was going to take revenge on him now, and torture him like he would in the future on the bed in the villa?
Help! Uncle Chen, help!
Ye Rongxu twisted his thin neck with great effort, his eyes terrified, desperately looking towards the alley, like a little chicken struggling hard with its fate pinched by the neck.
When Qin Chaoyan’s slender and powerful hand touched his waist, he visibly stiffened.
The young master’s waist was so thin that he could measure it with one hand and seemed to be able to grasp it easily with both hands. At the slightest touch, it was as soft as if it had no bones.
He even heard Ye Rongxu’s unnatural gasp, and his eyes were filled with water, looking pitiful and innocent.
Qin Chaoyan froze, and he quickly moved his hand away. Then he rummaged through the other party’s pocket and successfully found the medicine that was put in there.
The next second, he pinched the back of Ye Rongxu’s neck and forced him to raise his frightened face. He aimed medicine spray at his mouth, pretending to press it, but didn’t really press it.
The bodyguard, Uncle Chen, almost strode into the alley at the same time. Seeing Ye Rongxu still there, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he saw the postures of the two, and his heart tightened again: “Young Master, did you just have an attack… and are you feeling uncomfortable again?”
Ye Rongxu didn’t like others saying that he was sick. Uncle Chen was too anxious just now and forgot for a moment. After realizing it, he hurriedly changed his words.
Ye Rongxu was stunned. How could he feel uncomfortable? The only discomfort was being scared.
Just when he thought of this, he heard Qin Chaoyan say “yes” lightly, “I think he feels uncomfortable, so I give him some medicine to inhale.”
Uncle Chen was a sincere and honest man. In addition, Qin Chaoyan had saved Ye Rongxu twice before. After hearing this, he didn’t doubt it, and even said gratefully, “Thank you so much; this time you saved our young master again.”
Ye Rongxu: Meow, meow, meow?
He was stunned. Before he could say anything, Qin Chaoyan, who had put down the medicine, spoke again while looking into his eyes, “You asked me for help just now, didn’t you? I agreed.”
His eyes were calm, deep, and full of hints.
The implication was that no matter what the favor was, he promised first, and in exchange, Ye Rongxu would not talk about what he did just now.
Ye Rongxu was stunned. He hadn’t even asked the other party for help, but the other party started to use him first?
This male protagonist is too cunning.
“Okay.” The young master agreed listlessly. After weighing the pros and cons, he felt that it was more important to cancel the engagement.
“Let’s talk outside.” He said. As for Qin Jingrong lying in the corner…
“Uncle Chen, Qin Chaoyan, and I entered the alley just now and saw Qin Jingrong being beaten. Can you check if he was beaten to death or made?” Ye Rongxu randomly made an excuse.
Although Qin Jingrong deserved it, he couldn’t really leave him alone. If the other party died, he would be guilty too.
Uncle Chen looked at Qin Jingrong, whose head was covered, with an expression that was hard to describe. He wasn’t stupid, so he could guess who had beaten Qin Jingrong.
Qin Chaoyan also looked at Ye Rongxu with a little surprise, as if he didn’t expect him to help him cover up.
Uncle Chen asked, “Young Master, if Qin Jingrong wakes up later and asks about the person who beat him…”
“Of course, as soon as we came, the man ran away. We didn’t see what he looked like.” Ye Rongxu continued to make up stories with an innocent look.
There was no surveillance on this road, and Qin Chaoyan chose to do it here, probably because of this consideration.
Then he said, “Uncle, you go first; Qin Chaoyan and I will go outside to talk about something.”
After that, he waved to Uncle Chen and said to Qin Chaoyan, “Let’s go first.”
Qin Chaoyan was silent for a second, stepped forward to hold the handle of his wheelchair, and pushed him out of the alley.
On the street outside, Lin Jiaojiao was still guarding the stall. When she saw the two people coming out, she immediately showed surprise on her face and waved at them desperately.
Qin Chaoyan pushed Ye Rongxu over, stopped by the stall, and squatted down. Then he started putting the trampled stuff into the bag one by one and folded the waterproof tarpaulin into a bag as well.
After finishing, he stood up, looked at Ye Rongxu calmly, and asked: “Where are we going to talk?”
Ye Rongxu looked up and pointed to a barbecue restaurant that didn’t have many customers.
If you ask someone for help, you have to treat them to a meal first.
The two, along with the bewildered Lin Jiaojiao, went over and sat down at a table in front of the store.
Ye Rongxu picked up the menu, looked over it several times, and finally ordered only one pumpkin porridge, then reluctantly handed the menu to Lin Jiaojiao and Qin Chaoyan and said with heartache, “You guys order, and remember to order some for Uncle Chen as well.”
It was his first time eating in such a street shop. The reason he chose this one was because he could smell the fragrance from a distance. But after reading the menu, he found that he couldn’t eat most of them because his body wouldn’t allow it.
How about secretly trying some of the skewers ordered by Lin Jiaojiao and Qin Chaoyan later? Just a taste should be okay, right? It looks really delicious.
He thought eagerly.
Qin Chaoyan took the menu, looked at it for a while, and only ordered seven or eight skewers of roasted potato chips and a few skewers of roasted milk-flavored steamed buns, probably because these two things were cheap and filling.
Lin Jiaojiao, on the other hand, wasn’t courteous at all and ordered a few servings of everything. After ordering, she got up excitedly and went to the store to tell the boss.
Qin Chaoyan glanced at her back, and when she was gone, he asked Ye Rongxu: “What do you want me to do for you?”
Ye Rongxu coughed lightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed to mention this matter. He said in an awkward tone and in a low voice, “It’s just… Last time you said that Qin Jingxu had a lover, do you have any evidence?”
Qin Chaoyan frowned slightly.
Ye Rongxu explained: “I want to break off the engagement with him, but now there is no evidence of his cheating, which is a bit difficult. If you have it, can you help me and give me the evidence?”
Qin Chaoyan looked at him for a while and shook his head slowly: “I can’t help you.”
Ye Rongxu was stunned, and hearing the coldness in his tone, he thought that the other party didn’t want to help because he had bullied him.
He couldn’t help but feel a little anxious and said, “But you just said you were willing to help.”
Qin Chaoyan: “I didn’t know you were going to talk about this just now.”
Ye Rongxu was stunned. Is he playing a trick on him?
“I don’t have any evidence of his cheating. I just ran into him once outside the Clear Water Bay villa ten days ago, but you should have known the situation at that time. Also, it was on Qin Qijiang’s order that he broke up with his ex. I accidentally heard some of it when Qin Qijiang called him.”
Qin Chaoyan said in a flat tone. After speaking, he looked at Ye Rongxu and said, “These are just what I saw and heard. If you want solid evidence, I’m sorry; I don’t have it. If you want me to testify, I’m sorry, I can’t agree.”
Young Master Ye must have known what kind of reputation he had in the so-called upper circle. No one will believe what he says.
He was afraid that if he really helped testify, he would be ridiculed for framing Qin Jingxu and being jealous of him.
He didn’t want to get involved in this matter, and he even regretted getting involved before.
He also heard a little about the Ye family wanting to cancel the engagement, but after Qin Jingxu went to the Ye family to apologize several times, didn’t the Ye family remain quiet again?
As for why the young master wants to cancel the engagement, it is probably to seize evidence of Qin Jingxu’s cheating, vent his anger, and make Qin Jingxu admit defeat. Who knows if they will reconcile again after a few days?
After all, everyone in the circle knew that Young Master Ye loved Qin Jingxu wholeheartedly. Even if he is angry with Qin Jingxu, he will be coaxed in no time.
Why should he intervene in the conflict between a pair of fiancees? To be a clown?
In particular, Qin Jingxu somehow believed that it was him who had gone to Ye Rongxu and revealed his affair with Shu Ming.
Qin Qijiang also believed what Qin Jingxu said. Now he calls him every day. When the call wasn’t connected, he directly asked his secretary to go to the school to find him. All of this hassle was for only one purpose: they wanted him to find Ye Rongxu and explain that he had made a mistake outside the Clear Water Bay Villa that day.
Qin Chaoyan is very annoyed by this matter, but he can’t get rid of the Qin family’s constraints.
He suppressed his gloomy eyes, looked at Ye Rongxu, and said, “I’m sorry, I can’t help you with this. Is there anything else?”
The implication is that he can change the conditions.
Just as Ye Rongxu was about to speak, Lin Jiaojiao, who had just ordered the meal, came back with a plate of grilled skewers.
Qin Chaoyan took a look and saw the potatoes and milk-flavored steamed buns he had just ordered. Knowing that they were for him, he said thanks in a low voice and reached out to take a pair of disposable chopsticks.
“I won’t break my promise to you. You can slowly think of another condition.” He calmly separated the chopsticks with his slender fingers and started eating.
“What condition?” Lin Jiaojiao asked curiously.
Ye Rongxu: “…”
He frowned and appeared a little embarrassed.
He didn’t need Qin Chaoyan’s help with anything else, just this one.
But now Qin Chaoyan can’t help him. Is there any other way to cancel the engagement without letting Qin Jingxu take advantage of the Ye family?
Before long, the remaining skewers and pumpkin porridge were also delivered.
Ye Rongxu was a little hungry, so he simply gave up thinking for the time being and ate the porridge first.
When the three of them were halfway through their meal, the bodyguard Uncle Chen finally came back, and Qin Jingrong also came with him.
The three people at the table frowned at the same time.
Qin Jingrong had a colorful, swollen face, looking very comical. As soon as he saw Qin Chaoyan, he rushed over and asked angrily: “Qin Jiaoyan, f(y)ou beat me in the h-alley?”
His cheeks were bruised, and his tongue was accidentally knocked on by his teeth when he was hit. Now he was in so much pain that he couldn’t pronounce words clearly. He spoke as if he had cotton in his mouth.
Ye Rongxu blinked and imitated him: “F-f-f-f f(w)ho f(h)it f(y)ou? Qin Chaoyan has been with me just now.”
Qin Chaoyan glanced at him indifferently.
Qin Jingrong couldn’t help glaring at him, but his swollen eyes looked very funny. And because Uncle Chen was right next to him, he quickly withdrew his gaze in dismay.
Knowing that he could not do anything to Qin Chaoyan today with the support of Young Master Ye, Qin Jingrong was a little discouraged. But he was still angry that he got beat up for no reason. Even if he wasn’t sure that it was Qin Chaoyan, he couldn’t help but lash out at him.
“Tell you, don’t think that you will be fine just because Ye Rongxu helps you. Wait until I tell Brother Xu about this. Let’s see if Rongxu will still help you? He and Brother Xu are from the same family. Who do you think you are? Do you think that just because your surname is Qin, you are really a member of the Qin family? Humph, let’s wait and see!”
After saying that, he kicked the leg of the stool next to him but ended up kicking the injured area, so he grimaced in pain and limped away.
Not only Ye Rongxu, but Lin Jiaojiao also wanted to laugh.
Ye Rongxu pursed his lips to hold back his laughter and suddenly froze for a while. Qin Jingrong just said to Qin Chaoyan: Don’t think that just because you have the last name Qin, you are really a member of the Qin family…
Yes, Qin Chaoyan is also a member of the Qin family.
When Grandpa Qin and his grandpa promised to tie the knot between two families, they only said that the grandchildren would get married but didn’t say who would marry whom. The Ye family only has him as a grandson, but the Qin family’s… are not just Qin Jingxu.
It was only because Qin Jingxu’s identity was the most suitable that the engagement fell on him.
But things like love must be based on mutual consent. Now that he has grown up and can’t get along with Qin Jingxu, it’s okay to want to change the marriage partner, right? And in this case, the Ye and Qin families still have a marriage contract, and it doesn’t count as the Ye family breaking the contract.
As for who to replace as a marriage partner,
Qin Jingrong is definitely an option, and he doesn’t like other illegitimate children of the Qin family, so… why can’t it be Qin Chaoyan?
Qin Chaoyan is also a grandchild of the Qin family, and the other party owes him a favor. In this case, he can ask Qin Chaoyan to pretend to be engaged to him, and then after some time, he asks the other party to cooperate and break the engagement. This should be fine, right?
Ye Rongxu’s eyes lit up slightly, as if he had solved the century-old problem, and he suddenly looked at Qin Chaoyan happily.
Perhaps because his gaze was too intense, Qin Chaoyan, who was picking up a small steamed bun, paused, put it down, and looked at him, asking: “What’s the matter?”
Ye Rongxu’s eyes were like stars, and his tone was expectant: “Qin Chaoyan, are you willing to be engaged to me?”
My boy really thinks QCY gonna say yes👀
