Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C48
“Have you heard the sound of a thorn in your heart? “Puchi!” “Due to the pressure, the blood in my heart all rushed to the peak in an instant. Then, at the place where the thorn was located, the hole grew larger and larger, and all of the blood spurted out like a geyser. Bang!” A short-haired girl sat beside Lin Qingrou, eating melon seeds as she recounted these strange short sentences.
She opened and closed her hand, gesturing for the blood to spurt out. Then, she spat out a melon seed skin. Just as she was about to continue, Ye Qingming suddenly interrupted her.
The girl was unhappy. She glanced at him before turning back to Lin Qingrou with a smile, “Look at him, he’s protecting you more. So he’s even more cunning than I’ve described him.”
Lin Qingrou couldn’t help but laugh, then she stood up and went to the kitchen to prepare some fruits. Ye Qingming followed closely behind and explained, “Don’t listen to their nonsense. It’s just that we have nothing to do at the hospital.”
Lin Qingrou cut the apple while maintaining a normal expression, “It’s alright, I think what she’s saying is quite interesting. A thorn in his heart? It hurts just thinking about it. ”
As she spoke, she picked up the fruit knife and gestured in front of her.
Ye Qingming was scared out of his wits by her gesture. He groaned in his heart: if he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have invited Jiang Jing over.
Seeing that, Lin Qingrou patted him on the shoulder and consoled him, “It’s rare to see that after moving to our new home today, all of your friends are free to come over to play, so don’t think too much. I’m not a three-year-old, so why would I care? ”
Ye Qingming raised his hand and put it down. He nodded and let her have her way.
Everyone saw Lin Manqing and Ye Qingming come out of the kitchen. One of the male colleagues, Xiang Mu asked: “Ye Qingming, when are you going to get married? We’ll have money on hand. ”
Ye Qingming and Lin Qingrou looked at each other and smiled. He explained, “If nothing goes wrong, it will probably be next month. Are you afraid that I will run away?”
Jiang Jing took a bite of the watermelon and grumbled hesitantly, “It’s not that we’re afraid you’ll run away, but that you won’t tell us when the time comes.” Who asked you to always be so low-key, not saying a word. You invited us to your house on Monday, and we all thought you were a ghost. ”
When Ye Qingming heard this, he nearly choked on his tea in his throat.
Xiang Mu smiled, saying, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. We’re just expressing our astonishment a little. She didn’t say anything about you being possessed by a ghost.”
Ye Qingming waved his hand, “Alright, you guys, keep talking nonsense.”
Jiang Jing giggled as she looked at Lin Qingrou. She suddenly asked, “You’re getting married next month, why haven’t you taken a wedding photo yet?”
Lin Qingrou froze for a moment. She looked around and thought to herself, “Indeed, I was careless. The wedding photo is something important to me, but she has forgotten about it.”
She explained with a smile, “It’s because I don’t like photography, so I left out this one.”
Ye Qingming looked at her and thoughtfully tidied up the table in front of him.
After sending them off in the evening, Lin Qingrou set off to pack up. Putting the trash into a plastic bag, she asked, “Jiang Jing is a very interesting person, and from what I can tell, she’s a very simple and innocent girl.”
Ye Qingming cleaned up the mess with her and asked curiously, “How did you know?” “I remember when she was in surgery with those male doctors, she used to tell them even more exaggeratedly than they did.”
Lin Qingrou covered her mouth and laughed, explaining, “You don’t understand, the more simple the girl is, the easier it is for her to be. Sometimes, it may seem like people who don’t know anything know more than others. ”
Ye Qingming’s interest was piqued. “Then what are you?”
Lin Qingrou crushed a can and said nonchalantly, “I don’t know, what do you think?”
She returned the question to the questioner.
Ye Qingming smiled, but didn’t say anything.
It was already the third day since Lin Qingrou moved to Ye Qing’s home before she got married.
She even remembered the day before she moved here, Liu Yuxi had hugged her by the neck and cried his heart out. How can you move in so quickly?! I won’t be able to play with you from now on? I can’t come to your house when I’m sad, can I? ”
Lin Qingrou nodded hesitantly, then shook her head. Liu Yuxi cried even harder.
However, this couldn’t be blamed on Lin Qingrou. Even she didn’t expect to move into Ye Qingming’s house so quickly. Even now, she was still dizzy. In the two days and one night that she moved here, she was basically alone at home. Because Ye Qingming had to work during the day, he had been busy the entire night.
Lin Manshou let out a sigh of relief because she didn’t know how she was going to face Ye Qingming in the night. Would she get used to it when they were lying side by side in the same bed?
“What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?” Ye Qingming handed Lin Qingrou a glass of milk.
Lin Qingrou thanked him softly before taking the initiative to say, “I was thinking that if I were to be with you tonight, it would still be very awkward.”
Since he was curious, he might as well tell him what he was thinking right now. Originally, the two of them were already filled with suspicion and suspicion. Rather than hiding it, it would be better to tell the truth. After all, half-truths were hard to guess.
Ye Qingming suddenly understood. He nodded his head generously and then unexpectedly suggested, “Then why don’t we sleep separately? You sleep in the bedroom and I’ll be in the study. The problem can easily be solved.”
Lin Qingrou nodded in satisfaction. This was exactly what she wanted. Thus, she raised her glass and waved it at Ye Qingming. Perhaps it was a victory demonstration, or perhaps it was a celebration toast, no matter what.
“Aren’t you curious why I promised you so quickly?” Ye Qingming asked curiously.
Lin Qingrou bit her lower lip, looking at Ye Qingming before slowly shaking her head. How could she care about Ye Qingming’s thoughts? They were all filled with doubts. She only wanted him to not do anything out of line.
That night, Lin Qingrou took the initiative to ask Ye Qingming, who was reading in his study room, before going to bed, “How’s Xing Yumiao doing recently?”
Ye Qingming raised his head, put down the pen in his hand and asked with interest, “Are you concerned about her?”
Lin Qingrou did not know whether to laugh or cry, “Of course, should I hope that she does not have a good life?”
Ye Qingming thought it was funny and casually said, “But she was my ex after all.”
Lin Qingrou folded her arms. “So what? She’s already pregnant. Can you break off the engagement with me and then become a renegade hero? This is not something that your Director Ye can do. ”
Ye Qingming rubbed his eyes and teased in surprise, “I thought you were a quiet girl, but I didn’t think that you would have the appearance of a female hooligan after coming into contact with her at close range.” “No wonder she fell in love with Jiang Jing just like that.”
Lin Qingrou laughed, “Female hooligan? “Then you really think too highly of me. I’m not that bold. At most, I was just casually saying that and thinking about it.” As she spoke, she leaned lazily against the door frame in a posture very similar to Angelina Jolie’s in the Smiths. However, compared to others, it lacked a lot of wildness and sexiness. It gained a bit more freedom and freedom.
When they first moved in, Ye Qingming kept telling her not to worry. After all, this was their home. As such, regarding the matter of ‘do as one does in the world’, Lin Qingrou had completed the task very well.
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but yawn as tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and fell onto her cheeks. Lin Qingrou rubbed her eyes, afraid that Ye Qingming would find out and do something new.
She looked at Ye Qingming who did not seem tired at all and sighed, “A doctor is just different. It’s already so late and I’m not tired at all.” “I’m going to sleep first. I have to interview the director tomorrow.”
With that, she yawned again and walked towards her bedroom.
Ye Qingming looked at her back and muttered, “Supervisor? So it turns out that I’ve never heard of it. ”
Ye Qingming’s apartment was located in the center of a bustling area north of the city center. The apartment was a well-behaved third-year residence with two living rooms and two bathrooms. Currently, Ye Qingming lives in the study room and Lin Manrou lives in the master bedroom. The other room, Ye Qingming, had not been decorated in any way. It was empty, and Ye Qingming did not know what to do with it.
After waking up early in the morning, Lin Qingrou quickly washed her face and put on her makeup, then quickly changed clothes. When she was ready, she looked at the balcony. It was a completely different scene. Only now did she realize that she was already living in Ye Qingming’s house and not her own small house.
Lying on the soft but unfamiliar sofa, Lin Manmei sighed. This was her truest emotion at the moment. It was also the rare time that she faced her own heart directly.
It turned out that she had already taken the first step.
She couldn’t help but look around the living room. The door to the study was tightly shut. The living room, kitchen and dining room were all so quiet.
Did Ye Qingming leave already?
Lin Qingrou looked at her phone. Indeed, it was already past 7. According to his usual habits, Ye Qingming would have already changed into a white coat at the hospital and left the clinic by this time.
She picked up the key, locked the door, and quietly left the house.
Monday morning, is often depressed and decadent, after a weekend of rest, today’s people do not see the motivation and morale. This made Fang Tong extremely infuriated. He stood behind the glass in the office and glared at the employees outside, sighing uncontrollably like a statue.
When Lin Qingrou walked in with the documents, she almost thought he had petrified her.
“What’s wrong?” he asked solemnly, looking straight out the window.
Lin Qingrou quickly handed the documents over, “It’s the cost of the last trip. I should get your signature and then make it to the Finance Department to reimburse you.”
Fang Tong glanced at her, then snatched the folder away. After scribbling his name on it, he handed it back to Lin Qingrou.
Lin Qingrou curled herself up into a ball, wishing that she could become invisible and not be seen by him.
“Wait a minute!” Fang Tong suddenly said.
Lin Qingrou turned to look. She blinked and asked worriedly, “Is there anything you need?”
Fang Tong wordlessly pulled down the curtain on the glass wall and went back to his seat. He said snappily to Lin Qingrou, “I’ll treat you to lunch.”
Lin Qingrou was curious, “You’re treating me to a meal? “Why?”
Fang Tong glared at him. “Where did all this’ why ‘come from?”
Lin Qingrou nodded frantically. She couldn’t help but feel scared in front of Fang Tong, as if he really was the person who was being cursed and would be imprisoned if she wasn’t careful.
She promised Fang Tong and returned to her seat with the signed documents. The child ran forward to take the folder and hurriedly thanked her. “Thank you, Sister Lin. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known how to face Chief Fang’s fearsome face. He’s been watching us all morning from behind the glass wall. ”
Lin Qingrou unconsciously nodded her head, agreeing with the child’s words. At this time, she was finally able to calm down and write her script seriously. Suddenly, she saw the boy beside her writing half of his script. What are you writing? ” Lin Qingrou asked.
The boy explained, “It’s a topic about orphanages. I did an interview last week. Don’t you remember?”
She asked, “Who is the dean of this orphanage you interviewed?”
The little kid flipped through the information and replied: “It’s Quan Zi, Principal Xian. Speaking of her name, it sounds really nice. The surname ‘Quan’ is rarely seen, and she has even chosen such a dignified name. ”
“Then do you have a chance to interview her?” Lin Qingrou ignored the intoxicated look on the boy’s face as she asked.
The boy came back to his senses and nodded. “There’s one more time, probably the day after tomorrow.”
Lin Manrou took it to heart and said to her, “Okay, when you go, remember to call me. It just so happens that I have related questions that I would like to interview her about. ”
After chatting with the child for a while, Lin Qingrou slowly returned to her work. She did not even hear the clock at the entrance chiming a few times. As a result, when it was almost time for lunch break, Lin Qingrou regained her senses and looked at her watch. She was surprised that the morning seemed to have passed so quickly. She packed up her documents, picked up her purse and phone, and was about to go eat lunch when she suddenly remembered what she had said to Fang Tong in the morning.
Lin Qingrou peeked at the door to Fang Tong’s office, which was shut so tightly that it didn’t seem like she was going to take a nap.
He probably just said it casually, or he might have forgotten, Lin Manrou thought. Then she went to the bakery at the entrance to the company and bought herself a sandwich.
This kind of weather was really comfortable, she couldn’t help but exclaim in her heart.
In this kind of Weiwei’s cold weather, the sunlight would no longer be scary. If he could find a place to bask in the sunlight at noon, then sit on a wooden chair that exuded a warm smell while drinking hot coffee and eating a sandwich, suddenly feeling warmth surround his entire body from the taste buds to the tips of his fingers … It was a very comfortable thing to do.
However, just as she was enjoying this rare moment of comfort, Fang Tong suddenly appeared.
“Didn’t we agree to have lunch together?” He frowned as he looked at Lin Qingrou, then at the people around him.
Lin Qingrou still had some coffee in her mouth. After she swallowed it down, she wiped the corner of her mouth and explained, “I thought you were busy, so I went downstairs to eat something.”
Fang Tong waved her out of the bakery before saying, “I’ve booked a table in the hotel ahead. I originally wanted to go with you after the employees have all left, but I didn’t expect you to …”
Lin Qingrou smiled awkwardly. She didn’t say anything else and followed him into the restaurant.
After the two of them sat down, Fang Tong took the initiative to pick up the menu. He did not even need to look to casually say the names of the dishes.
“Do you come often?” Lin Qingrou could not help but to ask.
Fang Tong nodded and poured a cup of hot water for each of them. Finally, he relaxed and was about to speak.
“You …” He suddenly began to stutter.
Lin Qingrou pointed at herself, “Me? “What’s wrong?”
Fang Tong seemed to have made a great decision as he stammered, “Don’t …”
Lin Qingrou subconsciously thought back to what Fang Tong had said to her that day in the car with her after they left the nursing home. So it turned out that he didn’t want others to know of his past.
Lin Qingrou replied seriously, “Yes, I know. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about this. ”
Fang Tong nodded, but his eyes still seemed absent-minded.
Lin Qingrou asked tentatively, “Are you alright?”
Fang Tong lifted his eyes and stared fixedly at her. However, after looking for a while, he seemed a bit disappointed.
He said, “I’ve already reported to you about the marriage you mentioned last time, and they’ve agreed to it. Just tell me when you need it. ”
Lin Qingrou looked at him, only saying ‘OK’ in an indifferent tone. After that, she had nothing else to say.
Fang Tong was puzzled. “Aren’t you going to express surprise or happiness?” After all, it’s about your marriage. ”
Lin Qingrou was taken aback. She asked in confusion, “Is there anything to be surprised about when we get married?”
“Uh, it’s nothing. I just feel that girls are always very happy when they get married, and very excited when they get married. It’s rare for them to be able to invite someone to come down for a vacation.” Fang Tong said awkwardly.
Lin Manrou thought for a moment, and that seemed to be the case. Because her marriage with Ye Qingming had too many motives and complex emotions, it was impossible for her to be as full of expectations as a couple.
However, she still said with some reluctance, “Isn’t it just two people getting married? There’s nothing much to look forward to.”
As they talked, both of them started to feel depressed.
The meal had not been a happy one, to the point where Lin Qingrou’s stomach still ached when she returned to her office. She took a sip of water from her water cup and swallowed the pill, but it still hadn’t recovered after an hour.
People often say that stomach pain is the most annoying thing in the world. Therefore, Lin Qingrou had no choice but to bring this annoyance home from the company.
At this moment, she didn’t care whether this was Ye Qingming’s house or her own. She just threw her bag on the sofa when she got home, and with a “plop”, she collapsed onto the bed. Before she fell asleep, she looked at her watch in a trance: 4: 50 PM. Ye Qingming would probably be back for a long time … Not long later, she fell into a deep sleep.
