Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C23
When Shen Ruzhen was young, she was classmates with Ye Qingcheng. From the time they met until their marriage, they had always loved each other dearly. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, Lin Qingrou would never have believed that someone as sinister and selfish as Ye Qingcheng would be so respectful and considerate towards his wife. And they didn’t seem to come from the same fashion. All their movements and actions seemed as natural as a habit. Lin Qingrou had never seen or even thought about Ye Qingcheng like this before. It was to the point that she started to suspect if Shen Ruzhen knew about her father’s matter.
“Miss Lin seems to be a good match for her name, don’t you think?” Shen Ruzhen asked Ye Qingcheng in satisfaction.
Ye Qingcheng nodded and smiled, “You are right, that is why I asked for the wedding ceremony to be held as soon as possible.”
Shen Ruzhen looked at Lin Qingrou and said with concern, “So, I was thinking that it would be great if I could attend your wedding when I came back.”
Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming and smiled unnaturally, “However, we have yet to get married. We may have to wait until next year or …”
“I was afraid that we would be too busy, so I predicted next year, but now that we have applied for leave, it should be soon.” Ye Qingming quickly said.
After saying that, Lin Qingrou looked deeply at Ye Qingming, muttering to herself, “When did you say you were going to get married this year?” She still hadn’t taken care of the entire Ye Family, so who could agree to their marriage?
Ye Qingming looked into Lin Qingrou’s eyes and smiled at her guiltily.
When Shen Ruzhen saw this, she could not help but say to Ye Qingcheng, “Look, the two of them have a good relationship with each other. Just look at their eyes.”
Lin Qingrou quickly turned her head to look at Ye Qingcheng and Shen Ruzhen, nodding unnaturally. She pretended to drink water to ease the awkwardness for a moment.
During the meal, Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingming went out of the restaurant together to smoke. At this moment, only Shen Ru Zhen and Lin Qingrou were left in the room.
“Manchu, how did you get to know Qingming?” Shen Ruzhen asked curiously.
Lin Qingrou gaped.
Shen Ruzhen explained with a smile, “I only heard his big brother say it once when I got home, so I’m not very clear about it. I just want to ask you, if you’re not willing to tell me, then don’t say it, it’s okay.”
“We… I met her through a friend once. ” Lin Qingrou avoided the issue and said softly.
Shen Ruzhen suddenly understood and laughed, “My friend’s introduction is still the best. Oh right, you guys have been to the house as well, right? Did the other two elder sisters and Quan Wei meet? ”
Lin Qingrou nodded.
At this time, Shen Ru Zhen sat a little closer to Lin Manchu. She acted like an elder, putting her hand on the back of Lin Qingrou’s hand, she cordially said: “That’s good, it seems like the entire family is very satisfied with you, it truly is not easy.”
“What?” What’s not easy? ”
Shen Ruzhen was stunned for a moment before she gently explained, “Among the children of the Ye family, her name is considered young, and she is also a boy. Now that everyone likes you so much, you should be very outstanding. ”
Lin Qingrou looked at her, an indescribable feeling in her heart.
If the first time they had met, Ye Qinggran gave off the feeling of a well-bred but distant person, then Shen Ru Zhen was truly trying to communicate with Lin Manrou. Maybe it was because she was a completely different person from Ye Qingcheng, or maybe it was because she had her own life belief. In short, everything about Shen Ruzhen was so dignified and kind that it made people unconsciously put down their guard against her.
However, Lin Qingrou knew that no matter how kind and amiable Shen Ruzhen was, she was still a close relative of Ye Qingcheng. If they met every day, would she not know anything about her father? If that was the case, it would be too ridiculous.
“You’re too kind, I’m not that outstanding either. As for Second and Third Sister, they have been taking care of Qing Ming and it has been difficult for them. ” Lin Qingrou said slowly.
Shen Ruzhen nodded her head and absentmindedly said, “What you’re saying is that ever since Qingzhi’s parents died when she was eight years old, her name was basically brought up by Qingzhi herself. At that time, we had just started work, so we didn’t have the spare energy to help them financially. Therefore, for so many years, Qingcheng has always felt guilty towards Pure Ganoderma and Pure name, and always felt that it was because our older brother didn’t take good care of them. ”
“What about Third Sis?”
“What do you mean? “She has always been very carefree. After getting divorced a few years ago, she has been traveling around the world. We have often persuaded Qingzhi to go with her, but every time she has said she wants to take care of her name and doesn’t like going around the world.”
Lin Qingrou memorized every single detail of the situation. She had her doubts regarding Ye Qinggran’s lack of children, but she did not voice them out loud.
She added, “I’ve seen Quan Wei a few times. She’s pretty and smart. Several times I wanted to introduce her to a boyfriend, but I was afraid that the street wouldn’t allow it, so I didn’t dare to open my mouth. ”
When Shen Ruzhen heard this, Weiwei frowned and recalled, “I remember Weiwei has a boyfriend, and he’s one of her alumni. We saw it once. But that was a long time ago. Maybe they’re not together anymore. ” She laughed.
Quan Wei’s boyfriend was a former alumnus of hers … A ripple suddenly flashed through Lin Qingrou’s mind, as if she had some sort of train of thought that allowed her to connect all the messy clues together.
“What are you talking about?” Ye Qingming and Ye Qingcheng came in from outside. Ye Qingming couldn’t help but ask when he saw Shen Ruzhen and Shen Liansheng.
Shen Ruzhen stood up and poured tea for Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingming. Satisfied, she said, “We’re on good terms. We’re chatting right now.”
Lin Qingrou looked up and grinned at Ye Qingming. However, when she turned around, she accidentally bumped into Ye Qingcheng’s eyes.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with unfathomable alertness as he looked at Ye Qingming and Lin Qingrou thoughtfully. To be more precise, he was looking at Lin Qingrou.
At this time, Ye Qingcheng slowly said: “If they get along well, then let them stay at home for a while.”
Shen Ruzhen and Ye Qingcheng were sitting on the same side, so she could not see his changing expression at this moment. Hearing Ye Qingcheng’s suggestion, she was rather pleased and said to Lin Wanru, “Wouldn’t it be too annoying if we let you guys come often? They young people still need their own space. ”
Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingcheng. Although she could not help but feel anxious, she was more confident than she had expected.
It was just like when Ye Qingcheng had looked at him — a fierce and malicious guess. It seemed like this was the look Ye Qingcheng should have. It was not like the first time he saw her, where he deliberately avoided her, pretending to be fake.
However, all these faces belonged to Ye Qingcheng. It didn’t matter whether he pretended to be on guard or not. The more faces he had, the more terrifying he would become.
After dinner, Ye Qingcheng and Shen Ruzhen went home early.
As Ye Qingming and Lin Qingrou sat in the car, Ye Qingming suddenly asked, “Can you drive?”
Lin Qingrou nodded.
“Do you want me to buy you a car?” Ye Qingming asked.
Lin Qingrou looked at him. There was nothing special about his tone, nor was there any change in his expression. It seemed that he had already planned on doing this since long ago. Therefore, Lin Rou did not know what he was thinking about.
“Forget it, since you have the money, why not buy something else?” Besides, we’re not that familiar with each other. ” Lin Qingrou rejected him softly.
Ye Qingming smiled and pretended to be unwilling, “Alright, alright, alright. If you don’t want to buy, then don’t want to buy. If you don’t, then forget about it.”
Lin Qingrou shook the belt in her hand as she replied indifferently, “Up to you.”
“And after the marriage? It can’t be like this, right? ” Ye Qingming probed.
Lin Qingrou thought about her married life, and her heart began to shrink.
“Let’s see how you behave after your marriage!” She pretended to be indifferent as she carefully gave him a perfunctory reply.
Ye Qingming took the chance to peek at her while she was waiting for the red light to arrive. He saw her turn her head to look at something with her chin in her hands. He thought that Lin Qingrou was a little shy because she suddenly started to talk about what happened after they got married, so he could only smile helplessly, afraid that she wouldn’t ask her about it again due to her anger.
As the two of them drove to Lin Qingrou’s apartment building, Lin Qingrou unbuckled her seat belt and thanked Ye Qingming.
Ye Qingming said, “That’s why I’ll give you a car. You saw that I get to and from work at a different time than you do, so I can’t pick you up. Since you’re so tired from taking the bus by yourself and taking the subway, why not? ”
Lin Qingrou suddenly looked at him suspiciously, “You want to give me money so much? Then can you not buy me a car and a suite? In the future, do I have a refuge when I quarrel with you or when I am bullied by your family? ”
Ye Qingming was speechless, “Why did you do that?”
“That’s the pole you gave me, too.”
Lin Manrou paused and stopped talking with him. Her expression slowly became gloomy. She seemed to be talking to herself, but it also seemed like she was talking to Ye Qingming, “It’s me who doesn’t dare to drive … …” A few years ago, when I was just learning to drive alone, I ran into someone, so I didn’t dare drive anymore. ”
He, Weiwei, opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say. After a few seconds, he nodded and said softly, “Okay, then I won’t open it. Call me if you need a car in the future.”
Lin Qingrou looked at him and could not help but blame herself in her heart, “Lin Qingrou, did you short circuit in your brain? Why did she tell him about it? There’s no need to tell him about the accident, why waste your breath! ”
She came back to her senses, blinked, and then said to him absent-mindedly, “Well, I’ll go. See you another day.”
After saying that, she quickly opened the car door and ran back towards the apartment’s main entrance. When she finally got home and locked the door, Lin Qingrou leaned against the door weakly, her heart thumping wildly.
She really wanted to say to herself, “What are you so nervous for!? Because he just said a few soft words and forgot that he is Ye Qingming, you are just too useless, Lin Qingrou. ”
“Not bad. Did Ye Qingming personally send you back?” A familiar figure slowly appeared from behind the curtains in the living room.
Lin Qingrou’s heart skipped a beat, “Who’s there!?”
