Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Cui Qinghuan brought her poor boyfriend to my villa.

“He may not have a job right now, but he’s really amazing!”

“The overall environment is bad now. You can’t blame him.”

Then, in my villa, the two of them loved each other sweetly, broke up, and got back together again.

That’s right. Even this man dared to be restless.

Cui Qinghuan punched and kicked him.

“The passenger seat is reserved for me!”

“Can’t you see what your junior schoolmate is scheming?”

The ending was that the two of them made up.

I hehe’d.

A few days later.

They broke up again.

Cui Qinghuan cried until her eyes were swollen and said to me, “This time, we really broke up.”

I did not believe her.

“Really! This time it’s real!”

“I caught him hugging and kissing another woman.”

I said nothing.

“Sis, I’m going home to accept the marriage alliance.”

I put down the document in my hand, somewhat puzzled.

“Your marriage partner won’t just kiss other women. He’ll sleep with other women too. Can you tolerate that?”

Cui Qinghuan nodded without the slightest hesitation.

“I can. I don’t like him anyway.”

“Sis, your coffee spilled.”

“Sis, what’s wrong?”

I came back to myself.

Coffee had spilled all over the ugly little bear plush.

That night, I came across a scandal about Zhou Xi and a top female celebrity.

The two of them were seen entering and leaving the same apartment building together.

I turned off my phone screen.

I did not want to look.

I had figured it out.

Why could I tolerate Shi Jin being ambiguous with another woman, but not tolerate Zhou Xi having had a sponsor before?

Why did I not want to continue with Zhou Xi?

Because I wanted to continue with him.

But figuring it out was useless.

He treated me as a sponsor, while I treated him as a partner.

If that got out, would people not laugh themselves to death?

I, Cui Yuntan, could not afford to lose that face.

Cui Qinghuan went out to call Mom. When she came back, her face was full of displeasure.

“I’m so done. The marriage partner Mom arranged sounds like he loves fooling around.”

“He came back to China halfway through university because he wanted to enter the entertainment industry and chase his dream.”

“The Qin Family didn’t support him, so he actually found himself a rich woman.”

“And I’m supposed to marry him?”

Most of the Qin Family’s businesses were overseas, and the domestic portion was not in A City.

I had not heard much of the Qin Family, and I did not know how my mother had arranged this.

Clearly, the marriage partner before had not been from the Qin Family.

The next day, I accompanied Cui Qinghuan to the blind date.

In the high-end restaurant, I saw Zhou Xi.

He stood beside a woman wearing mink.

My mother said this was Miss Qin and her younger brother, Qin Xi.

My smile froze on my face.

Cui Qinghuan’s eyes lit up, and her little face blushed.

She tugged my sleeve. “Isn’t this that guy who’s really popular right now?”

“Hmph, just as I thought. With a face like that, he must be terribly messy… Sis, sis, why are you leaving?”

I turned and walked away.

“I’m going to have a smoke.”

When I returned, Cui Qinghuan and Qin Xi were chatting happily.

My mother and Miss Qin had already left first.

Cui Qinghuan was very happy. “Sis, Qin Xi is pretty nice!”

She said to Qin Xi, “This is my sister. You can call her sis from now on too.”

Qin Xi smiled distantly and called politely, “Sis.”

My heart tightened.

It felt unfamiliar.

“I’m going to the restroom.”

I saw a familiar figure through the restroom mirror.

Qin Xi walked over lazily.

Today, he wore a cream-colored sweater, a very casual outfit.

The sapphire earring on his earlobe glittered.

His whole person was extremely old money.

Meaning, he had spent a great deal of money to dress like a little kept boy.

“Sis, long time no see.”

“I’m about to become your brother-in-law. Are you happy?”

I did not want to answer.

As we brushed past each other, Qin Xi grabbed my wrist.

“Sis, why won’t you answer?”

Suppressing my anger, I said, “What do you want me to answer?”

Qin Xi chuckled.

He suddenly changed the subject.

“Then did I act well before?”

“The obedient little lover.”

I sneered. “Not bad.”

“Was it because I acted too well that sis thought she could throw me away whenever she wanted?”

His long, narrow eyes narrowed. His fingers rubbed my wrist.

The familiar touch made my thoughts wander despite myself.

Just when I was about to lose control, he stepped back and opened the distance between us.

“Sis, remember to call me brother-in-law from now on.”

The incense in the restroom made my head feel a little swollen.

I glanced at Qin Xi and said,

“No need to wait for later. I can call you that now, brother-in-law.”

Qin Xi’s expression was calm but dark, his jawline clenched tight.

The moment I turned to leave, someone pulled me into his arms…

Finale

Qin Xi nibbled at my neck while whining.

“That’s hilarious. You think I care about you?”

“Brother-in-law, you’re biting too hard.”

Qin Xi stiffened. A moment later, he bit even harder.

I pushed him hard.

Qin Xi gripped my waist and said, “Don’t think I can’t bear to part with you. I just want revenge.”

“You think I still like you?”

My phone fell out of my pocket.

At just the right moment, Cui Qinghuan sent me a voice message:

“Sis, I won’t disturb you and brother-in-law. I’ll leave first.”

“Brother-in-law wants to pursue you and even told me to keep it a secret. You absolutely must not say I told you.”

Qin Xi, who was pressing me down, went rigid.

Embarrassment flashed across his face.

My phone rang.

It was the housekeeper calling.

“That handmade bear of yours, when I put it in the washing machine, something fell out of it…”

Qin Xi reached for my phone.

“Don’t listen!”

“…It’s a diamond ring, and there’s a pink letter that looks like a love letter. Do you need me to throw them away for you?”

I glanced at Qin Xi.

His little face was bright red.

A moment later, he gave up on himself and leaned over to kiss me.

“Sis, don’t throw them away.”

After hanging up, I looked at Qin Xi.

His cheeks were puffed out, and he looked a little unhappy.

“Now you know everything. I originally wanted you to act out a crematorium chase after your husband.”

That was absolutely impossible.

I had status and reputation. I could not afford to lose face like that.

Qin Xi seemed to see what I was thinking and became somewhat displeased.

“Sis, I’m going to punish you!”

I nodded obediently. “Fine.”

It was not as if he dared to do anything.

Qin Xi smiled meaningfully.

“Sis, I have a suite on the thirty-eighth floor here.”

Then I did not see the sun for three days.
