Blossoming Flowers - Chapter 207
Zhou Yan’s brows were furrowed. His eyes were deep and his fingers were pinching the bridge of his nose. He was severely displeased.
“Did the old man really say that?” he asked, his voice so cold that it felt as if someone found themselves on a Millennium-old glacier.
“He did,” Lin Qiang said with a low voice, nearly not daring to breathe loudly. He could sense the anger, that Zhou Yan was trying his best to suppress, was very close to exploding.
“That bastard!” Zhou Yan could not help but swear, his words making Lin Qiang stunned. Zhou Yan had always respected his grandfather. He had never gone against his words before, nor had he ever swore at him, but now he had called him a bastard. This proved just how furious he was.
“Call Han Qingshan.” Zhou Yan gave an order, and Lin Qiang quickly found the phone and dialed Han Qingshan’s number before handing back the phone to Zhou Yan.
The phone rang a few times before Han Qingshan answered it.
“I heard that your Grandfather got involved in my matters?” His voice was judgemental, furious, and filled with anger.
Lin Qiang was unaware of what was being said on the other end of the phone, but he saw that Zhou Yan’s expression was not turning any better.
“Grandfather has ordered me to stop the pressure I am putting onto the He family. Don’t you think that you owe me an explanation for this?”
Once again, Lin Qiang couldn’t hear what was said on the other end of the phone, even when he tried perking his ears.
“Well, I understand, but that was not really what I wanted.”
“Your grandfather seems to be against you and Jingyue being a couple, don’t you think it would be much better to just give her to me?”
While Lin Qiang was waiting for an answer, Zhou Yan lowered the phone. It was clear that Han Qingshan had hung up instead of giving him an answer.
Zhou Yan did not continue to rage. Instead, he lowered his face and seemed as if he was contemplating some things. It was clear that Han Qingshan had said something that had made him very unhappy.
But Lin Qiang knew that if Zhou Yan wanted to share, then he would, and if he did not, then he would keep it for himself.
What had caused the discomfort in Zhou Yan were the last words that Han Qingshan had said.
“She is mine, and you no longer have a chance.”
What did it mean? Why was Han Qingshan so sure that he no longer had a chance to get Jiang Yingyue back?
His mood was foul as he straightened his back and looked at Lin Qiang. “Stop the pressure we are putting on the He family, let them develop the Cloudsoar District with no more interference – as long as they do not cause additional problems for Jiang Yingyue.”
“What about He Yuyan?”
“She has been punished accordingly. Although I feel that she got too easily out of it. It must be torture for her to have lost the backing of the He family.” Zhou Yan was rather carefree about He Yuyan’s fate. There was no pity and he no longer felt any hatred. Her future would make her understand that sometimes living could be worse than death.
“She deserves it,” Lin Qiang said, but after that, he spoke no more. He left the room, and went to follow the orders that Zhou Yan had given him about lifting the pressure that was being put on the He family.
At the same time, in another part of the city, within Han Qingshan’s Condo, Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan were having a big discussion.
“Why do you still want to sleep in the guest room?” Han Qingshan asked exasperatedly, feeling a headache coming his way from the stubbornness of Jiang Yingyue.
“We are not married. It is already a lot that we are staying in the same house, but you want me to move my things into your bedroom? That is just too much.”
“What has happened already happened, you can’t undo it. I will be responsible for you for the rest of your life, and if you regret it, then I will make sure you are responsible for me for the rest of my life.”
“I know,” Jiang Yingyue blushed, “but even so, isn’t it too much to share a bedroom already?”
“It is not. I want to hug you to sleep every night. I want the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning to be you. If you are unhappy, then we can go and get our marriage certificates already. Then it should be fine, right?”
“Wait! Woah! Wait” Jiang Yingyue’s eyes widened in shock when she heard his words, “I am only eighteen, I am not going to get married yet, and especially not for such a simple reason like you hugging me to sleep!”
“Do you think I only want to marry you so that I can hug you to sleep? I want to spend the rest of my life together with you. I want to be your better half for the rest of your life. I want to pamper you and shower you with love and affection!”
The more Han Qingshan spoke, the redder Jiang Yingyue’s face turned. She was unsure of what she should say or do.
In the end, her face was filled with helplessness. She understood that Han Qingshan was a healthy young man, it was only natural that he had certain needs, and it was not easy for him to hold back.
In the end, she said nothing, and she nodded her head bashfully.. She would not readily admit that she would sleep with him with her actions, but in the end, she could only agree after seeing the hope in his eyes.
