Villainous Sick Beauty Chapter 18

Qin Chaoyan resigned himself to preparing the ingredients and setting them aside.

The next day, at six in the morning, he turned off the alarm on his phone, got up, washed, and started to cook soup.

Ye Rongxu also got up at six, but it was almost eight when Chen Jiang drove him to Qin Chaoyan’s residence after breakfast.

He took out his phone to send a message to Qin Chaoyan, and soon he saw the other party carrying a thermos bucket and a canvas bag, walking out of the dim corridor of the old residential building.

Qin Chaoyan is very tall; his body is thin, but like a green pine and bamboo, slender and steep; his long legs strode toward the Maybach parked in the alley, with a kind of cold aura.

But this aura was instantly halved when he opened the car door and handed the thermos bucket to Ye Rongxu.

Ye Rongxu, who was suddenly stuffed with a thermos bucket, was a little confused.

“What is this?” He asked, puzzled.

Qin Chaoyan glanced at the thermos bucket and said as calmly as possible, “Lotus root and pork ribs soup.”

Ye Rongxu: “?” Then what?

Then he met Qin Chaoyan’s eyes, who were looking at him like he was looking at a fool.

Ye Rongxu’s breathing stagnated slightly, and he calmed down, asking, “For me?”

Qin Chaoyan slightly turned his eyes away, and his tone was a little unnatural. “What else?”

Ye Rongxu: “…” Is it raining red today?

The big devil actually took the initiative to cook for him?

Although the other party also cooked for him yesterday, it was at his own insistence.

But on second thought, Ye Rongxu felt that this was a good thing. It meant that his plan of killing three birds with one stone was very successful; at least his relationship with the male protagonist eased.

After that, he would cancel the engagement with Qin Jingxu, and he could focus on health.

Ye Rongxu was more and more satisfied as he thought about it, and said to Chen Jiang: “Uncle Chen, let’s stop for a while.”

Then he drank two sips of soup first.

After all, it was the male protagonist who did it to thank him, so he should give him some face.

Chen Jiang happened to want to go to the supermarket, so he told him when he heard this.

Ye Rongxu waved his hand and told him to go.

When he opened the thermos, a fresh aroma came to his nose. The lotus root was cut into small pieces and dipped into the milky white soup with the ribs, and a few wolfberries floated on the surface of the soup, which was steaming hot and smelled very appetizing.

Ye Rongxu had eaten in the morning, but he didn’t eat much. At this moment, looking at the delicious soup, he felt a little hungry.

He picked up the soup spoon and caught a wolfberry first, scooping up a small spoonful of soup along with it and passing it to his lips.

The soup had just come out of the pot, and the insulation effect of the thermos was also good. Ye Rongxu felt that it was still a little hot, so he blew on the spoon, and then stretched out the tip of his tongue to touch the edge of the spoon. After confirming that it was not that hot, he drank it carefully.

The soup was refreshing and not greasy, and the wolfberry had a hint of sweetness. The taste was just right, and it was not worse than what the nutritionist at home made.

Ye Rongxu narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, chewed the wolfberry and swallowed it, and scooped up a small piece of lotus root.

Qin Chaoyan turned his gaze back to him without knowing when.

The boy had fair skin and delicate features. The morning light shone through the car window glass and shone on his side profile, casting a beautiful silhouette.

He stretched his thin white neck slightly, blew on the scooped lotus root for a while, and then used the tip of his tongue to test the temperature before gently biting off a small piece.

Like a cat.

Qin Chaoyan’s eyes fell on the ends of his eyebrows and the tip of his nose. When he saw the slightly opened lips and the tip of his tongue lightly touching the lotus root to test the temperature, he suddenly turned away.

His action seemed a little unnatural.

Ye Rongxu forgot that he had just eaten an hour ago. After drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, eating two lotus roots, and gnawing two ribs, he couldn’t eat anymore.

But there was still a half-bitten lotus root in the spoon.

He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Qin Chaoyan, eager and apologetic. “I can’t seem to finish it.”

What he meant was that this half-eaten lotus root could be thrown away, and the remaining soup could be left for the afternoon.

After all, the soup was stewed by Qin Chaoyan, and the ingredients should also be bought by Qin Chaoyan. In his impression, Qin Chaoyan should be very poor now, and it’s not good to waste other people’s food.

However, after Qin Chaoyan heard it, his eyes fell on him. After a moment, he suddenly reached out to take the thermos bucket and spoon, ate the unfinished lotus root in one bite, and then drank the remaining soup.

Ye Rongxu was stunned.

He had used the spoon and had bitten half of the lotus root. Now Qin Chaoyan was eating it, which was equivalent to…

“You, you…” He looked at Qin Chaoyan, stuttering, “Why did you eat what I left?”

Qin Chaoyan frowned: “Are you going to throw it away if you don’t eat it?”

Ye Rongxu: “…”

Qin Chaoyan: “Ordinary people can’t afford such waste.”

Ye Rongxu: “…”

He blushed and said after a long time: “I don’t mean that. I mean, I can drink it in the afternoon.”

Qin Chaoyan was silent, probably realizing what he had just done. After a long while, he slowly said: “If you still want to drink it, I’ll make it for you again in the afternoon.”

Ye Rongxu: “…” That’s not what I meant either.

Alas.

He leaned back in the seat lifelessly, suddenly wanting to inhale oxygen.

It wasn’t until Chen Jiang came back that the awkwardness in the car disappeared.

Qin Chaoyan put away the thermos bucket, and after the car started, he took out a palm-sized wooden horse from his canvas bag and handed it to Ye Rongxu.

Ye Rongxu looked at him, confused.

Qin Chaoyan said unnaturally: “Birthday present. The one I gave you last time was lost.”

Ye Rongxu suddenly felt guilty. Last time, Qin Chaoyan gave him a wooden horse at his birthday party to apologize to him, but he was punished by standing in the rain, and finally the wooden horse fell into the swimming pool and was almost swept into the garbage by the servants at home.

Although he didn’t mean to.

Ye Rongxu hesitated, took the wooden horse, and didn’t tell the other party that he had picked up the little wooden horse previously.

But what happened to Qin Chaoyan today? He made soup for him, gave him a little wooden horse, and ate what he had eaten…

“!”

Ye Rongxu suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Qin Chaoyan suspiciously.

Qin Chaoyan noticed his gaze and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Rongxu was about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of Chen Jiang driving, and suddenly stopped.

He quickly put down the little wooden horse, took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to Qin Chaoyan.

Xu Xu Changsheng¹Translated to Long live Xuxu: Look at the phone. [frowned]

Xu Xu Changsheng: Let’s confirm first. We have an agreement, right? It’s a fake engagement, right?

Xu Xu Changsheng: Cat with hands in pockets.jpg

Ye Rongxu poked the screen with his thin white fingers and kept typing.

Qin Chaoyan is so abnormal today; how come it seems a bit like… a prelude to making a fake thing real?

Qin Chaoyan unlocked his phone and saw that the avatar with the note “Troublemaker” kept sending messages, and his expression was slightly stern.

Was he found out? Was he too obvious?

His eyes dimmed, his thumb hovered above the screen, and he didn’t reply for a long time.

Troublemaker: Have you finished reading it?

Troublemaker: I will delete the message after you finish reading.

Troublemaker: Cat shaking ears.jpg

“Troublemaker” deletes a message

“Troublemaker” deletes a message

“Troublemaker” deletes a message

Qin Chaoyan: “…”

After a while, he slowly typed a reply: I didn’t see it; what did you delete?

Ye Rongxu, who quickly deleted the messages to prevent the phone from being accidentally seen by others and leaking secrets: “…”

He looked at Qin Chaoyan’s phone screen and then saw that the other party’s note for him was “Troublemaker”.

“?”

After half a month of keeping fit, Young Master Ye, who still had a non-Buddhist mentality, had two small flames in his eyes, and stared at Qin Chaoyan in disbelief: “What kind of note is this? What’s wrong with me? Change it, change it!”

Ye Rongxu wanted to breathe the oxygen mask again. He must have thought too much just now. How could someone who likes him for real set this kind of note under his name?

Qin Chaoyan: “…”

“Change it quickly.” Ye Rongxu urged him while putting away his own mobile phone with a guilty conscience, so that Qin Chaoyan would not find out that he had given him the note “Big Ice Face”.

Finally, under his urging and supervision, Qin Chaoyan frowned and changed the note to: The world’s most lovely Xuxu Changsheng.

*

When they arrived at the hot spring villa, before Ye Rongxu could get out of the car, he saw his grandparents coming to pick him up. Qin Chaoyan’s grandmother, Old Lady Qin, was also there.

After Qin Chaoyan got out of the car, he walked to the other side door first.

Just in time, Chen Jiang took out the wheelchair from the trunk, unfolded it, and intended to carry Ye Rongxu out.

Qin Chaoyan opened the car door quickly and said, “Let me do it.”

Then he bent down, put his arm through Ye Rongxu’s knees, and wrapped his other arm around Ye Rongxu’s thin waist, easily lifting him up.

Ye Rongxu hurriedly hugged his neck, his eyes slightly widening.

Two people who were both extremely prosperous in appearance, the lean and cold one holding the sickly and beautiful one. It’s pleasing to the eye just by looking at the picture.

Qin Chaoyan quickly put Ye Rongxu on the wheelchair, adjusted his sitting position, took out a thin blanket to cover his knees, and tucked it in to prevent him from catching a cold.

Then he turned around and took out the thermos cup that almost never left his hand from inside the car.

Ye Rongxu quickly took the thermos cup, as if holding a spiritual pillar.

Grandpa and Grandma Ye looked at each other, a little surprised.

They had seen Qin Chaoyan before, but they didn’t pay much attention to him. Today, they looked carefully and found that the child of the Qin family was good-looking, especially when he was holding Xuxu. They looked quite good together.

In addition, it seemed that they had never seen Qin Jingxu, the previous engagement partner, take such good care of their Xuxu.

Qin Jingxu was the eldest son of the Qin family, after all. He himself was taken care of by servants, so how could they expect him to take care of others?

Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye didn’t think it was a big deal before. After all, whose children were not spoiled? There was no reason for anyone to take care of anyone.

But without comparison, there is no harm.

At least Qin Chaoyan’s series of actions after getting out of the car made Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye very satisfied.

Grandma Qin, who was helped out by the nurse, also smiled.

Qin Chaoyan pushed Ye Rongxu to the three elderly people and called out in turn, “Hello, Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye.”

Then he looked at the old lady Qin and paused before calling out: “Grandma.”

Old lady Qin didn’t care about his indifference and said kindly: “It’s cold outside, let’s go inside first.”

Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye agreed and asked them to go in first.

When they arrived at the manor, the servants led them to a tea room.

After serving the tea, the servants left.

Qin Chaoyan then took out the gifts he had prepared for the three elderly people: a pine and crane longevity wood carving ornament for Grandpa Ye, a handmade flute for Grandma Ye, and a fish and lotus root carving for Grandma Qin.

None of them were expensive gifts, but they were thoughtful, and they were all made by him.

Ye Rongxu looked at all the beautiful carvings and was surprised and a little eager.

How come the gifts given to others are so beautiful, but the wooden horse given to him is so simple?

Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye were just politely accepting the gifts until Grandma Qin said, “Chaoyan, it must be hard for you to carve all of these, right?”

The two then realized that these wooden carvings and flutes were actually made by Qin Chaoyan himself.

Especially the handmade flute. Grandma Ye worked in a national orchestra when she was young and was good at playing the flute.

Qin Chaoyan obviously put a lot of thought into this gift.

After accepting the gift, the two old people couldn’t help but put it away carefully, and their impression of Qin Chaoyan improved.

To be honest, when they first knew that their precious grandson was going to change his engagement partner to Qin Chaoyan, Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye didn’t quite agree.

The reason was the same as what Ye Boxuan thought at first. One was that Qin Chaoyan was an illegitimate child, and the other was that Qin Chaoyan was Qin Jingxu’s younger brother. No matter which one, it would not be a good thing to say to the public.

It wasn’t until Ye Boxuan persuaded them with “Xu Xu only likes him” that the two old people agreed to meet him first and help their grandson take a look.

At present, the results of the inspection are obviously satisfactory.

After asking Qin Chaoyan a few more symbolic questions, Grandpa Ye nodded with satisfaction and said, “Okay, us old people need to rest for a while and take a nap. You two can play around in the villa first. The hot springs in the villa are nice, and you can soak in them, but Xuxu, don’t soak for too long.”

When Ye Rongxu heard this, his face turned red for no reason, and he looked like a shy young lover. There was no need to act.

Qin Chaoyan also lowered his eyelashes, as if embarrassed. After getting up and saying goodbye, he pushed Ye Rongxu away.

After watching them leave, Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye asked someone to close the door.

“How is it?” Old Lady Qin spoke first.

Last time, she couldn’t resist the request of her son and grandson and went to the Ye family to help Qin Jingxu make peace. She felt very ashamed and regretted it.

This time, after the Ye family proposed not to cancel the engagement but only to change the engagement partner, she thought about it again and quickly agreed.

“In fact, Chaoyan is no worse than Jingxu, yet he is dragged down by his mother and delayed by his father.” Old Lady Qin sighed.

“But he is very hardworking. He has been supporting himself since he was thirteen. He doesn’t need the help of the Qin family. He earns money by carving wood and doing odd jobs. Under such circumstances, his grades have always been good. In my opinion, he just doesn’t have the conditions. If he did, he would definitely have a bright future.”

Grandpa Ye waved his hand: “We don’t care about these. The most important thing is that Xuxu likes him, and he likes Xuxu; that’s enough.”

Old Lady Qin smiled and said, “Yes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Since you all agree, let’s settle the matter and pick a date for the engagement banquet?”

Grandma Ye smiled, and the wrinkles on her face were stretched. She said, “I think it’s okay.”

“Then pick it.” Old Lady Qin said happily, “After choosing, I will also call Qijiang and ask him to transfer the equity to Chaoyan.”

Qin Chaoyan didn’t know about this development. Under the guidance of Ye Rongxu, he pushed his wheelchair to an indoor hot spring, and his steps suddenly froze.

“You want to… take a hot spring bath?” His expression suddenly froze.

Ye Rongxu: “Yeah.” Is it not possible?
