Ye Rongxu’s curled eyelashes were still wet, and his pupils seemed to have been washed by hot spring water, clear and transparent.
When his shoulder was pressed, he froze for a moment, his thin body was as tight as a string, and panic flashed across his fair face.
He tried to open his eyes wide, and tried to calmly look into the pair of deep eyes that were getting closer and closer, as if this would make him look more powerful.
Qin Chaoyan leaned closer and closer, his unfamiliar scent and shadow enveloped him, and his deep eyes kept falling on his face.
Suddenly, he raised his other hand and gently touched Ye Rongxu with his fingertips.
Ye Rongxu’s eyes were panicked, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. When his cheek was about to be touched, he finally couldn’t help it and turned his head slightly to avoid it, like a startled fish in a pond.
Qin Chaoyan paused, and the next moment, his slightly calloused fingers touched his cheek again. The fingertips were slightly cold, and they left as soon as they touched, as if they had picked something.
Ye Rongxu: “?”
His wet eyelashes trembled, and he slowly turned his sight back.
Then he saw Qin Chaoyan holding a rose petal between his fingers…
It seemed to have just been pinched off his face.
Ye Rongxu: “…” I #@ you *￥!
I really want to grab a handful of small fish in the pond and smear them on his face.
But the fish is innocent, smile.jpg

After taking a hot spring bath, Qin Chaoyan found that Young Master Ye was in a bad mood, and the most direct manifestation was that he started to torment him.
Ye Rongxu changed into comfortable pajamas and laid on the lounge chair next to the hot spring pool. He first asked Qin Chaoyan to cut fruit, and then asked him to massage his legs and feet on the pretext that the nurse didn’t come with them.
During this time, he took out his mobile phone to check the market and found that one of the several varieties that Qin Chaoyan taught him to trade yesterday had a small loss. He immediately ignored the other ones and started to point fingers: “It lost, look, it lost.”
Qin Chaoyan, holding his thin white ankle, looked up and said: “It’s normal to have fluctuations, long-term bullish.”
Ye Rongxu played rogue: “I don’t care, I lost money today, you have to compensate.”
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
Yesterday, it’s unknown who said that if he made money, he would share the money with him, and if he lost, he would not be responsible.
Ye Rongxu continued: “Forget it, I won’t make it difficult for you. You just need to help me massage my legs and feet for the next three days.”
Who made the other party deliberately scare him in the hot spring just now?
Qin Chaoyan knew that he was deliberately looking for trouble, so he said “hmm” and ignored it. He covered his calf with the palm of his other hand and gently kneaded the leg muscles with his fingertips.
The skin that had just been soaked in the hot spring was smooth and tender, with a light pink in the whiteness. Because of muscle atrophy, the calf did not have a firm sense of strength, and it seemed boneless when held in the palm of his hand.
Qin Chaoyan felt like holding a brocade. His long eyelashes drooped, covering some thoughts in his eyes.
Seeing that he only perfunctorily said “hmm” and didn’t even raise his eyes to look at himself, Ye Rongxu felt like punching cotton.
He held it for a while, then began to find faults and pointed out Qin Chaoyan’s massage techniques: You’re not good at massaging. It’s not as good as a cat paw.”
Qin Chaoyan finally looked up at him with dark eyes, and questioned: “Have you ever kept a cat?”
Don’t you have a bad heart and lungs, are often breathless, and are allergic?
Ye Rongxu “uh”ed and said, “I’m a cat fan.” I saw other people’s cats knead their owners.
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
“Anyway, I didn’t feel anything when you pressed it.” Ye Rongxu argued.
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
Don’t you have any feeling below the knee?
He subconsciously applied force with his fingertips.
“Woo…” Tears suddenly welled up in Ye Rongxu’s eyes.
Obviously, he could still feel some pain and numbness.
Qin Chaoyan froze.
At this moment, Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye came in, and when they saw him massaging Ye Rongxu’s legs and feet while Ye Rongxu was “acting spoiled” and picking at him, they both revealed heartfelt smiles.
The young couple was bickering.
The two looked at each other and thought the same thing.
Especially seeing Qin Chaoyan taking care of Ye Rongxu when there were no elders around, without pretending, the two looked at him with more satisfaction.
Qin Chaoyan saw them coming in, quickly stood up, and politely called out: “Grandpa Ye, Grandma Ye.”
Ye Rongxu also wanted to sit up properly when he saw them.
Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye hurriedly stopped him, saying, “No need.”
Grandma Ye walked to the recliner, sat down, and said with a smile: “Xuxu, Chaoyan, us elders have agreed to your matter, and the engagement date has been chosen, just in half a month, what do you think?”
“So soon?” Ye Rongxu was surprised to hear this.
Although he knew that this matter was a sure thing, he didn’t expect it to be so smooth. Even the engagement banquet could be held in half a month.
Qin Chaoyan was also slightly surprised.
Grandma Ye smiled and said, “The date was chosen by a master that Chaoyan’s grandmother and I called to match your horoscopes. It was a bit rushed, but this day was the best before the New Year.”
Grandpa Ye nodded and continued, “I just called your dad to discuss the preparations for the engagement banquet. It’s just right for you to stay at the villa and recuperate during this period.”
Ye Rongxu nodded and thought it was okay.
Then he looked at Qin Chaoyan and asked tentatively, “What do you think?”
Qin Chaoyan turned his head to look at him, seeming slightly stunned and unsure of what he was thinking.
Grandma Ye then realized that he had not said anything. Thinking that he was worried about the attitude of the Qin family, she couldn’t help but comfort him: “Your grandma also called your dad to tell him about this. Don’t worry, it will go smoothly.”
Qin Chaoyan’s eyes flashed. He quickly lowered his eyes and whispered, “Thank you.”
Surprisingly, they are really going to get engaged…
He looked at Ye Rongxu again and then thought of Qin Jingxu, who might have known the news.
It was strange that he did not feel the pleasure of revenge on Qin Jingxu, but instead…
He pursed his lips and tried to think about Qin Jingxu’s expression at the moment to divert the palpitations in his heart.
*
In the Qin family villa, Qin Jingxu’s expression was extremely ugly at the moment.
When he first learned that the engagement was going to be changed, he was so panicked that his brain went blank and his whole body lost strength.
It wasn’t until he learned that this matter was purely just Ye Rongxu wanting to change his marriage partner and nothing more that he felt like his soul was floating back into his body and regained his strength.
He reluctantly drank a cup of coffee, and after calming down, he immediately began to think of ways to persuade Qin Qijiang not to agree.
Then he called Grandma Qin again, trying to persuade the old lady to give up the idea.
“Grandma, Xiao Xu and I grew up together. After so many years of relationship, I have always liked him and regarded him as my future marriage partner. How can the engagement be changed just like that? Grandma, please help me persuade him. He is young, and it may be a momentary impulse, or he may have been deceived by someone.”
He was so sincere that his voice even choked a little, and his last sentence implied something.
Grandma Qin frowned, her voice gentle but somewhat resolute: “Jingxu, tell me the truth, you really haven’t been with someone else behind Xuxu’s back?”
“Really not, grandma.” Qin Jingxu said almost immediately, “That’s all a misunderstanding. I explained to you and Uncle Ye last time that Shu Ming has a boyfriend, and he and I are just classmates.”
Then he said in a hurry: “Grandma, why don’t you tell me where Xiao Xu is? I will go to see him now and explain to him.”
Grandma Qin didn’t know whether what he said was true or false. She sighed and advised him: “Jingxu, this relationship can’t be forced, you and Xuxu are not destined, I think you should forget it.”
Xuxu obviously likes Chaoyan, and the Ye family is also quite satisfied with Chaoyan. The matter has been settled, and it’s meaningless to say anything else.
If it really doesn’t work, she, as a grandmother, will make up for Qin Jingxu’s equity.
Old lady Qin thought so in her heart.
Unexpectedly, two days later, she learned from Ye Rongxu what Qin Jingxu did to Qin Chaoyan.
The old lady has been in poor health for the past two years. She had a major operation in the summer and has been hospitalized. She had no idea that Qin Chaoyan was unable to take the college entrance examination at that time because of Qin Jingxu.
She always thought that the situation was really, as Qin Qijiang told her, that Qin Chaoyan offended a gangster and was retaliated against, so he missed the college entrance examination.
Unexpectedly, she was deceived by her son and grandson.
Not only that, Qin Jingxu also wanted Qin Chaoyan to fail the exam next year and even prevent Qin Chaoyan from going to school now.
Old lady Qin couldn’t believe that such a thing that ruined people’s futures was done by her grandson.
She was very angry and immediately asked someone to check. Soon, the information found was sent to her, all true.
On top of that, she also found out that Qin Jingxu planned to recommend several foreign universities to Qin Chaoyan two days ago.
Seeing the names of those universities and the information that the investigators specially noted after the names, the old lady felt dizzy.
What kind of good schools can these be?
If it weren’t for the medical equipment in the villa and the family doctor accompanying the old lady, she would probably have been admitted to the hospital that night.
Originally, she felt that it was a bit unfair for her grandson, Qin Jingxu, that she had agreed to change the marriage partner, and she wanted to make up for him privately.
But now, she has completely given up the idea of compensating Qin Jingxu. Not only that, she also plans to compensate Qin Chaoyan.
In fact, when she first knew that her son had an illegitimate child, Qin Chaoyan, she didn’t like it either, and felt guilty about Qin Jingxu and Qin Jingxu’s mother.
But Qin Chaoyan is different from his mother, Zhang Yun. He never relies on the Qin family and refuses help from her and the Qin family. How difficult is it for a thirteen-year-old child to support himself? But he did it. He didn’t fall behind in his studies, and he could even maintain excellent grades.
The old lady saw it, and over time, she gradually changed her mind about him.
But she knew that Qin Chaoyan didn’t want to associate with the Qin family. In addition, she felt that if she treated Qin Chaoyan well, it would be unfair to Qin Jingxu, the legitimate son. She felt guilty towards her daughter-in-law, who had passed away long ago, so she rarely paid attention to Qin Chaoyan.
But in any case, Qin Chaoyan didn’t provoke the Qin family, and had never offended Qin Jingxu before. Even if Qin Jingxu was uncomfortable with him because of his background, he shouldn’t ruin his future like this.
After all, Qin Chaoyan never wanted to have anything to do with the Qin family or hinder Qin Jingxu.
Old Lady Qin was very angry about these things. After she got better, the first thing she did was help Qin Chaoyan transfer back his household registration and school registration and register for the college entrance examination.
But, unexpectedly, Ye Boxuan did it first.
The old lady was a little ashamed, knowing that it was Ye Rongxu who was helping Qin Chaoyan.
Since she didn’t make up for this matter, she wanted to make up for it in other things, but… what should she make up for?
After thinking about it, the old lady found that she didn’t know Qin Chaoyan that well, so she called Ye Rongxu and asked him kindly if he had any suggestions.
Ye Rongxu was a little apprehensive when he was pushed into the old lady’s room by Chen Jiang, thinking that he had angered Grandma by revealing what Qin Jingxu did to Qin Chaoyan last time.
But he didn’t expect that the other party would ask him what compensation she should give to Qin Chaoyan.
“If I ask Chaoyan, he will definitely not tell me. I just think that you two have a good relationship, so I might as well ask you and see what he needs.” The old lady said lovingly.
When Ye Rongxu heard her say that he and Qin Chaoyan had a good relationship, his face turned red and embarrassed. In the eyes of the old lady, he was just being shy.
But what should Qin Chaoyan be compensated with… Ye Rongxu tried to think.
He hadn’t received Ye Boxuan’s call yet, and didn’t know that Qin Chaoyan’s household registration and school registration had been resolved. After thinking about it, he said, “Grandma, why don’t you give Qin Chaoyan a company to manage.”
Old Lady Qin was stunned when she heard this and said, “But…” Doesn’t he still have to go to school?
“Grandma, Qin Chaoyan is amazing.” Ye Rongxu deliberately beamed with joy and said in an exaggerated tone, “He taught me how to trade futures. He has made nearly one million in the past few days, which is almost equal to my pocket money for half a month.”
Grandma Qin was surprised when she heard the first half of the sentence, but she couldn’t help laughing when she heard the last sentence.
“If he hadn’t missed the college entrance examination before, he would be a freshman now. You can think of it as an internship at the company in advance. And he had already mastered all the high school curriculum last year. This year, he just needs to consolidate it. There is plenty of time.”
The key is that Ye Rongxu doesn’t know whether Qin Chaoyan will learn after that.
“By the way, he sets up a stall to sell things, all of which are the best-selling on the pedestrian street. It’s obvious that he has an economic mind.” He praised Qin Chaoyan again, and at the end, he couldn’t help but curl up his mouth and want to laugh.
Old Lady Qin: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The old lady thought he was joking at first, but after listening to it all, she started to think seriously.
If Qin Chaoyan is really as talented as Ye Rongxu said, then it’s not impossible to compensate him with a company to learn management.
Compared with Ye Rongxu, Qin Chaoyan is much worse in terms of background and other conditions. After the engagement, some people will definitely say that they are not a good match and that Qin Chaoyan is marrying up.
But these external conditions are brought on by parents and family and cannot be used to judge whether a person is really excellent. If Qin Chaoyan has developed his abilities in the company and achieved results that his peers have not at a young age, who can still say that he isn’t excellent?
In addition, giving Qin Chaoyan extra company also shows that the Qin family values his engagement with Ye Rongxu. Otherwise, if Qin Chaoyan had nothing, wouldn’t he be eating soft rice1吃软饭: A man who lives off his wife.?
After all, he is different from Qin Jingxu. If she doesn’t give it to him, no one in the Qin family will give it to him in the future.
And nineteen years old isn’t that young. Back then, Old Mister Qin graduated from high school, came out to make a living, and created the Qin Group from scratch.
Of course, one still needs to attend school. Old Mister Qin was poor back then and had no choice.
If Qin Chaoyan doesn’t have time, she can also transfer the company to his name first and hire a manager to manage it. If he’s free, he can go for an internship.
The more Old Lady Qin thought about it, the more she felt that it was feasible, but based on past experience, she felt that Qin Chaoyan might not accept her help.
So she said to Ye Rongxu: “Xuxu, what you said is feasible, but Chaoyan is stubborn and may not agree. Can you help me persuade him?”
Ye Rongxu didn’t expect it to be successful, and his eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Qin Chaoyan must give him a big red envelope. He found a social university2I don’t know if I have explained this in previous chapters, but it’s pretty much self-explanatory. “Social university” is a term used when you learn through practical experience rather than through traditional education, aka going to college. for him to attend.
He quickly raised his white and tender fingers, made an “OK” gesture, and said with a smile: “Grandma, don’t worry, I will definitely persuade him.”
Hearing what he said, Grandma Qin was relieved and then said: “By the way, about Chaoyan’s household registration and school registration, you told your father and asked him to help solve it, right?”
Ye Rongxu: Ah? It’s been solved? Then he doesn’t have to go to the social university soon?
“Hey, thanks to you for thinking so much about Chaoyan, otherwise, the child would miss the college entrance examination next year. Grandma will say thank you on his behalf first.” Old Lady Qin said lovingly.
Ye Rongxu was dazed. He waved his hands and said with a slightly red face: “No, no.”
He didn’t think about Qin Chaoyan on purpose. He just saw injustice and drew his sword to help by casually mentioning it to his father.
Anyway, why didn’t his dad tell him first when he finished the job? Are we going to social university or not?
How could he know that Old Lady Qin found out the news herself?
After he left the old lady’s room in a daze, he received a call from Ye Boxuan and learned that Qin Chaoyan’s household registration and school registration had been resolved.
After answering the phone, he was even more dazed.
Back in his room, he thought about it, went out again, and knocked on Qin Chaoyan’s door.
Qin Chaoyan was watching the market.
Hearing the knock on the door, he stood up and walked to the door, opened it, and looked down to see Ye Rongxu sliding into the room in a wheelchair, like driving a small train. He even slid and turned.
Qin Chaoyan: “…” Are you not afraid of falling?
He closed the door, walked back to the room, and looked at Ye Rongxu: “Is there something?”
Ye Rongxu coughed lightly, his eyes wandering: “I’ll… supervise how much money you make for me today.”
After speaking, he looked at Qin Chaoyan and found that the other party was looking at him from above, so he was slightly annoyed: “Sit down and talk; you are so tall. I’m tired of looking up.”
Qin Chaoyan: “…”
He pulled a chair over and sat opposite Ye Rongxu, his dark eyes calm.
After their eyes met, Ye Rongxu suddenly felt embarrassed again.
“Well, I have something to tell you.” He cleared his throat and spoke.
Qin Chaoyan nodded: “Ok.”
Ye Rongxu: “I’ve talked to my dad about your household registration and school registration. He just called and said he had helped you solve it. You can try to register again later to see if it works. I heard that you can still register now.”
Qin Chaoyan’s eyes were obviously surprised and stunned. When he realized the meaning of this sentence, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Ye Rongxu quietly. After a long time, he whispered: “Thank you.”
Ye Rongxu heard that his voice was a little hoarse and trembling.
He slightly avoided his eyes, thinking of another thing, and was a little distressed: “There is another thing. Just now, Grandma Qin invited me over and asked me to…”
He told him about how he persuaded Old Lady Qin to give Qin Chaoyan a company, and then he made a fuss: “When I said that, I didn’t know that you could still take the college entrance examination and continue to go to school. Now you don’t have time to go to the social university anymore?
“But Grandma Qin agreed. She was afraid that you would not accept it and asked me to persuade you. Alas, am I too nosy?”
After saying that, he looked at Qin Chaoyan eagerly.
The young man’s eyes were focused and serious, staring at him without moving, making it impossible for the person being watched to ignore him.
Qin Chaoyan looked into his eyes and seemed to see the flow of tiny light and shadows, like the stars in the night sky.
He hastily looked away, and after a long time, he whispered: “No.”
Ye Rongxu: “?”
He looked puzzled.
Qin Chaoyan explained slowly: “You are not nosy.”
He glanced at Ye Rongxu, then quickly looked away and continued: “You helped me fight for it, I… won’t give it up.”
Ye Rongxu vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but didn’t dwell on it and soon asked again: “Then will you have enough time?”
Qin Chaoyan nodded his head: “I have listened to the classes I should have before the last college entrance examination. It’s fine if I don’t go to class now.”
Even when he could go to school before, he spent most of his time doing questions by himself, just to keep his grades from falling.
“In addition, Grandma will definitely consider this. The company she is given will have someone to take care of it. I will probably be a nominal manager first, and actually do an internship, so I don’t have to go every day.”
Ye Rongxu: “Oh.” The plan works! Does this mean he has already persuaded Qin Chaoyan? He hasn’t even shown his acting skills yet. He can’t help but curl up the corners of his lips.
*
Old lady Qin acted quickly because the time for the engagement banquet was very tight, and the equity and company transfers were also rushed.
When Qin Jingxu learned the news, there was no turning back.
After listening to Qin Qijiang’s words, he walked out of the study with an ugly face.
Thinking of the engagement that involved equity, Ye Rongxu, who actually didn’t choose him, and Qin Chaoyan, who was crushed into dust by him…
He suddenly punched the wall heavily, with a horrifying look.
This shouldn’t be the case.
Qin Chaoyan has nothing, how can he turn over?
There is also Ye Rongxu. In the past, as long as he patiently coaxed and took out the jade pendant, no matter how angry the other party was, they would eventually reconcile.
But this time it didn’t work, not even the jade pendant.
Most importantly, Grandma also helped Qin Chaoyan and gave him a company.
Qin Chaoyan didn’t even go to college, why? Even he didn’t get this treatment until now.
For this reason, Qin Jingxu had just argued with Qin Qijiang in the study. He could see that Qin Qijiang didn’t want to give Qin Chaoyan a company.
But Qin Qijiang had just been scolded by the old lady because of this matter, and upon hearing this, he immediately scolded him and told him not to cause any more trouble.
Obviously, Qin Qijiang would not help him this time.
For Qin Qijiang, Qin Chaoyan was indeed insignificant, but it was important to maintain the marriage with the Ye family.
As for who was married to the Ye family, Qin Qijiang didn’t care, as long as it was his son.
He didn’t forget that the Ye family wanted to cancel the engagement at first, but later Ye Rongxu changed his mind and switched the engagement partner.
As for Qin Jingxu, he could only say that this son was not competitive.
He had said long ago that, with how much Ye Boxuan favored his son, as long as Ye Rongxu was unwilling, breaking off the marriage contract was a very likely thing.
But Qin Jingxu didn’t listen to him. He had a lover, and he was even found out by Ye Rongxu.
Who can be blamed for this?
Although the Ye family had no evidence, as long as Ye Rongxu suspected it, given the extent to which the Ye family doted on Ye Rongxu, did they need evidence? They could just find a reason to cancel the engagement.
Now that the Ye family was still willing to maintain the engagement, Qin Qijiang was relieved.
At least the marriage between the two families still existed.
Fearing that Qin Jingxu would not be able to accept this, he specifically warned: “At the engagement banquet in ten days, you should behave well and don’t have unnecessary thoughts. I didn’t see you being so infatuated with Ye Rongxu before, but now you care about him so much, it’s…” hypocritical.
Qin Qijiang couldn’t really say this to his son, but he still warned: “If you really can’t stand that scene, don’t go to the engagement banquet, or go abroad in the next two days.”
Qin Jingxu’s face turned pale and blue, and when he walked downstairs, his teeth were almost bleeding.
Qin Jingrong went to the living room and saw Qin Jingxu sitting on the sofa with a terrifying expression on his face. He couldn’t help but approach him and ask in a sly manner, “Brother, is Qin Chaoyan really going to get engaged to Ye Rongxu?”
In fact, he heard about this yesterday. After all, the two families have already started discussing the arrangements for the engagement banquet, so it’s hard not to know.
Qin Jingxu turned his head slowly when he heard this.
“Are you here to laugh at me?” His tone was not as gentle as before but rather had a chilly feeling.
