Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C31

Ye Qingming parked the car and held the keys tightly in his hand. He walked into the restaurant, and as if he had sensed something, he immediately saw Lin Qingrou. Her cheeks were flushed red, and she was probably tired. She was curled up on a wooden chair, with her head tilted as if she was sleeping.

Ye Qingming shook his head and was about to walk in when he realized that there was a man half lying on the ground beside Lin Qingrou. He was drinking tea and staring at Lin Qingrou, not knowing what to think.

However, even if he did not have any ulterior motives, anyone who saw this scene would probably be nervous and worried, not to mention Ye Qingming.

Seeing this, Ye Qingming hurriedly took off his outer robes and walked in. After which, he wrapped himself around Lin Qingrou’s body.

Xu Zichao was suddenly at a loss. Ye Qingming looked at him and asked, “May I ask who you are?”

Xu Zice looked at Ye Qingming and asked cautiously, “I’m her friend, and you are?”

“Boyfriend.” Ye Qingming was clearly getting impatient.

However, Lin Qingrou, who was pretending to be drunk, couldn’t help but to be happy in her heart. However, she couldn’t open her eyes, which made her clench her teeth and bear with it.

However, Xu Ziteng was a responsible person. He looked at Ye Qingming from head to toe and said, “I’ll give her friend a call to confirm this.”

With that, he walked out of the tea room and dialed Liu Yuxi’s number.

On Ye Qingming’s side, he was sitting and looking at Lin Qingrou helplessly. He saw that she was wearing a watery red dress, and although it did indeed look beautiful and elegant, her arms and legs were mostly exposed, which caused Ye Qingming to feel depressed.

As he thought, he tightened the outer garment on her, wishing that all her skin would not be exposed.

At this time, Xu Zizi had already made a call. After confirming the call, he finally felt relieved and said, “Since you’re his boyfriend, then I’ll go back first. You take care of her.”

Ye Qingming nodded, and after thanking Xu Zice, he finally remembered that Lin Qingrou was still lying on the chair. He first gently helped her up, but just as he was about to carry her, Lin Qingrou suddenly “woke up” in a daze.

“Why are you here?” Lin Qingrou asked.

Ye Qingming stood in front of her and explained, “Your friend called me and said you were drunk. “So …”

Lin Qingrou nodded and walked outside. However, she had only taken a few steps when her legs turned soft. If Ye Qingming had not supported her in time, she would have fallen to the ground. However, she was not faking it this time. Lin Qingrou was so frightened that she regained her senses.

At this moment, she saw that her arm was being held by Ye Qingming. Suddenly, she subconsciously retreated in the opposite direction.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Qingming staggered and asked in confusion.

Lin Qingrou pulled her clothes tightly around her and said, “No, it’s fine …”

After about half an hour, Ye Qingming finally sent Lin Qingrou home. After he settled Lin Manshui down, he went to the kitchen and boiled some hot water, and then put some honey in a cup.

Ye Qingming stood in front of the counter, busy with his work. He could not help but laugh. This was the first time he had made nectar for someone else.

He carefully put some cold water on it, afraid that it would burn his mouth when she drank it, but he was afraid that if he put too much honey water, it wouldn’t warm his stomach. As Ye Qingming thought about it, he suddenly felt a warmth on his waist. He turned around and realized that Lin Qingrou was right behind him, her arm was naturally around his waist.

His hands gradually stopped moving. He was actually a bit nervous.

Lin Qingrou’s face was buried in the back of his shirt as she mumbled to herself, “Did I scare you just now?”

Ye Qingming knew that she was talking about pulling back her arm, so he smiled and said, “No, but compared to that, shouldn’t you explain why you got drunk at such a party?”

“Xu Zichao is Yu Xi’s friend and coincidentally helped me out, so I have to thank him. Won’t you go out to dinner with your colleagues? ” Lin Qingrou said so confidently that Ye Qingming was left speechless for a moment. However, he did not drink with his friends very often, partly because he was too busy and partly because a surgeon was not allowed to drink.

However, he did not refute her. After all, their work was different, so he could not force her to be like him and not drink a single drop.

Seeing that he did not say anything, Lin Manrou had an idea. She turned to him and asked, “Have you steeped the honey water?”

Ye Qingming regained his senses and handed the cup to Lin Qingrou. Lin Qingrou just happened to be out of thirst. She accepted the cup of water and drank up all the honey in a few mouthfuls.

She was satisfied and couldn’t help but lick her lips. Then, she looked at Ye Qingming.

Although Ye Qingming had been observing her, he was still shocked when she stared at him. His face had gradually faded to a pale pink color, from her chin to her collarbone. Her long hair, which was originally tied behind her neck, had been tossed around for the entire night, and there were already some strands of hair floating in the air above her clavicle chest and the nape of her neck.

Ye Qingming couldn’t help but move closer to Lin Qingrou. As the two got closer, he could even smell the fragrant aroma of alcohol from her body. However, just as Ye Qingming was about to kiss Lin Qingrou, Lin Qingrou took the opportunity and gently covered Ye Qingming’s mouth with her hand.

“Sigh, not today.” Lin Qingrou seemed to have long thought that Ye Qingming would not be able to hold back. Therefore, when she said ‘no’ to Ye Qingming in such a gentle and charming manner, no one would dare to say another word.

Although Ye Qingming felt a little awkward at this moment, he still removed her hand from his waist with great ease. He helped her put the broken hair behind her ear and said, “Go and change your clothes first. We’ll rest a bit earlier.”

Lin Qingrou nodded obediently, and went back into the bedroom by herself, closing the door behind her. But just as she closed the door, she turned around and almost fell down onto the bed. Her heart felt like it had hit a deer. She was jumping up and down and her cheeks were getting hotter. Even her breathing had started to become hurried and difficult.

Lin Qingrou couldn’t help stroking the hair behind her ears, as if she was hoping to feel the warmth of his palm.

Lin Qingrou put on her pajamas. Looking at her nervous expression in the mirror, she felt a little regretful.

She remembered what she had told herself before: she mustn’t have any feelings for Ye Qingming, and she shouldn’t have any expectations for him. He was her chess piece, and he was a member of the Ye Clan. So what happened to him now?

Lin Qingrou warned herself repeatedly that she could only do what she wanted with Ye Qingming. She had to not allow any emotions to go awry! After thinking about it for a while, she gradually calmed down. Her hands and body also became ice-cold.

Today’s plan had already been completed when she had rejected Ye Qingming’s further actions. She had completed it well, without the slightest negligence. However, as for the results, Ye Qingming still had to reflect on them slowly.

The long night was always lonely. Lin Qingrou sat on the bed by herself after Ye Qingming left. Although she was thinking about other things, Ye Qingming’s face would always appear in her mind from time to time.

She wanted nothing more than to throw the pillow in her arms onto the ground. She could not help but grumble in her heart, “Ye Qingming, what do I need to do to prevent you from appearing in my mind!”

However, a silent yell was useless. Ye Qingming’s face continued to haunt Lin Qingrou’s thoughts, refusing to back down even after a long time.

After a night of baptism, Lin Qingrou was much calmer and more clear-headed after waking up early in the morning. She came to the study in her slippers. As usual, she didn’t open the curtains or turn on the lamp, but let the sunlight in the living room invade and illuminate the room.

She took out the photos in the drawer. They were Ye Qingzhi and Xing Ruonan.

Lin Qingrou thought that at this point, it was about time for Ye Qingzhi to make a move. This time, she would not sit still and allow herself to be slaughtered!

But… Lin Qingrou could not help but become anxious again.

Regarding everything related to Ye Qingzhi, she wasn’t completely confident. This was because Ye Qingzhi had never been married nor had she ever had a child. A strong woman without a weak point like her would be even harder to deal with than a family with a wife and daughter like Ye Qingcheng.

Lin Qingrou picked up a pen and began to draw time points on a piece of white paper. From Ye Qingzhi learning about her work to her taking care of Ye Qingming. Everything was clear and simple, because her life was so clear and simple that there was hardly any room for doubt.

However, this point gradually became clear to Lin Qingrou. She understood that for such a strong woman, her strengths and weaknesses would be expanded as well. Ye Qingzhi had not only lived a life of luxury, but she had also gone with the flow. Other than the relationship between a man and a woman being completely blank, there were other aspects of her life that were truly invincible.

Lin Qingrou casually picked up her phone and called Shen Lei.

“Sis, why are you so early?”

“Did you find the person I asked you to look for a few days ago?”

“En, I was just about to tell you today. This person isn’t easy to find!” You said to have a good temperament, a good acting, a flexible mind, and a long time to work. I’ve asked several times, but none of them are fond of answering. ”

“Don’t cry about being poor. Do you want me to pay you extra?”

“Don’t be in such a hurry …” If it really doesn’t work, then you just have to add more. “This time, I guarantee that I will complete the mission!” Shen Lei’s words were filled with confidence, and Lin Qingrou had no choice but to trust him one more time. She decided that he might as well do the things that he had done previously, which was why she trusted him so much.

However, she still warned him sternly, “Don’t go to the wrong person, otherwise, I’ll throw you into the river to feed the fishes!”

Shen Lei felt a chill run down his spine. Although he knew that Lin Qingrou was only joking, he was still afraid that she might get angry.

Lin Qingrou put down her phone and lay down on the chair. She slowly squinted at the ceiling before her. He swore silently in his heart: “Ye Qingzhi, I will definitely make you suffer a crushing defeat!”

Lin Qingrou arrived at the office on time early in the morning, but there weren’t many people in the room yet. She looked around. Only the door to the director’s office was open. Therefore, just as she was hesitating on whether she should go greet him, a person suddenly came out from inside.

This person was probably the new director Fang Tong that He Zheng had mentioned. He was about thirty years old, and although he was thin, he was not weak. He had a dark complexion with a crew cut, indifferent eyes, and a prominent scar on his forehead. However, even though he was at work now, he was still wearing his jeans and khaki leather boots. As he walked, his footsteps were firm and decisive without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Qingrou recalled He Zheng’s words — Medusa. It was really mysterious. Even an ordinary person would be petrified if they were to be stared at by him.

“Did you know? This director nearly killed himself just to find out what the distribution organizations are up to and to report their evil deeds!?” The scar on his forehead was left behind at that time! ” Her colleagues were afraid that Lin Qingrou would not know, so they described the situation vividly to her.

Lin Qingrou was stunned. There had always been a case of journalists being undercover agents for the past few years. The illegal organization Black Coal Kiln had people reporting it personally, and of course, those people were all the best of the reporters. Lin Qingrou did not even dare to think about these people, not to mention this was the first time she had come into such close contact with them.

Fang Tong seemed to feel the gazes from afar. He turned his head, and everyone else lowered their heads, pretending to be busy. No one wanted to look him in the eye for fear of turning into stone.

“You’re new here?” Fang Tong suddenly said.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at each other. Finally, their gazes landed on Lin Qingrou.

Lin Qingrou snapped out of her daze, pointing at Fang Tong. “Me?”

Fang Tong nodded.

Lin Qingrou shook her head, explaining, “I previously took sick leave because my leg was injured. I just started work last week.”

Fang Tong cast her a sideways glance and muttered, “Isn’t that still a newcomer?”

Then, he beckoned Lin Qingrou to follow him into the office. Lin Qingrou quickly put down the piece of paper in her hands and chased after him with large strides.

Fang Tong sat on his chair, his brows furrowed as he looked at Lin Qingrou.

“Can we go for an interview in the afternoon?”

“Alright.”

After Lin Qingrou finished speaking, Fang Tong took out a copy from a pile of folders and threw it into her arms.

“Go out.”

It had not even been a minute since the two had met and the conversation had begun. Just like that, Fang Tong had chased Lin Canrou out of the office.
