Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C69
After Lin Qingrou finished her work, she and Fang Tong went to a secluded coffee shop.
She finally asked him properly, “Can you tell me why you resigned? When we were in the desert, there was no warning. ”
Fang Tong laughed helplessly as he toyed with his glass of water, still unwilling to speak the truth.
In the end, Lin Qingrou had no choice but to give up. She couldn’t force anyone to do what she wanted, much less Fang Tong.
He suddenly asked, “Married?”
Lin Qingrou raised her eyebrows and nodded.
Fang Tong suddenly smiled. “When I was traveling in the desert, I still remembered my conversation with Ye Qingming,” he said.
Lin Qingrou was curious, “What did you all say?”
Fang Tong shook his head. “It’s nothing. It’s just that he thinks I know something about you that he doesn’t, so he’s a little impatient.”
Lin Qingrou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “It seems like you’ve said a lot of bad things behind my back.”
“Between him and me, the only one who can speak is you.”
“What do you think of him?” Lin Qingrou suddenly asked.
“Ye Qingming? I don’t understand it, so I didn’t want to say it. ”
“I don’t understand. What does that mean?”
“After all, we only met once, so we can’t make wild guesses. Besides, he’s your husband. ”
Lin Qingrou nodded and drank some water before Fang Tong asked, “What do you think? What kind of person is he? ”
She smiled wryly as she crushed the flower petals in the vase. Her fingernails were instantly dyed red like blood.
“That’s true. Even if it was me, I would still have some moments that I don’t understand. Not to mention you. ”
Not knowing what to say, Fang Tong could only reply with silence.
As the two broke up in the evening, Lin Qingrou took out a bag of candy from her bag and gave it to Fang Tong. “I really didn’t think I’d see you again. I still have to make up for it.”
Fang Tong was suddenly enlightened. “Does this mean I should make up for it?”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Lin Qingrou pointed to the subway station in front of them and said, “Then I’ll be going now.”
Fang Tong nodded and said meaningfully before he left, “They’re brothers after all. You have to protect yourself.”
Lin watched him as his back gradually disappeared into the distance. Finally, he turned into a small, blurry dot that disappeared at the end of the street. Her heart was like a stone that fell into a pool of water. Ripples spread out, causing her heart to feel restless.
After returning home, Lin Qingrou tiredly sat on the sofa. She looked at her watch. It was already very late, and Ye Qingming was still not back. For a moment, she wished he would never come back.
Lin Qingrou laughed bitterly, laughing at herself for having such ostrich thoughts. Could it be that if he were to dive into the ground, all of the problems would be solved? Of course not. No matter how tiring or tiring, she had to face it and deal with it. Because if it wasn’t like this, then everything would have become a pool of stagnant water, unable to proceed any further.
When the trust between them gradually disappeared, would they still be able to live together as if nothing had happened, facing each other every day?
However, the reality was very difficult, and Ye Qingming was also worried. When he received a call from Ye Qingcheng in the afternoon informing him that Lin Qingrou had appeared together with Fang Tong, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness filling his entire body.
After work, he did not go home. Instead, he drove directly to the downtown bar street and went straight to the one with the loudest voice.
“How many gentlemen?”
“One.”
“What would you like to drink?”
“Whisky.”
Ye Qingming sat in front of the bar as he shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. He looked around and realized that most of the people here were young. It occurred to him that he had not been in the bar for many years, and that it seemed so strange and noisy to look at it now.
The waiter placed the whiskey next to him. Ye Qingming felt his hand go cold and immediately came back to his senses. However, he shook his wine cup and gave up in the end. After sighing, he put the wine money under the cup and immediately got up to leave.
“Director Ye?”
Ye Qingming felt his shoulders suddenly sink, and then he was pushed back into his chair. He subconsciously turned around and saw that it was Xiao Chuxin.
Ye Qingming had always hated her, and now, seeing her here made him even more annoyed. He pushed her hand away from his shoulder and said, “I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Xiao Chuxin pursed his lips and smiled, “It’s not strange to see me, it’s only strange to see you. Who doesn’t know that your wedding is a sweet time, why come to the bar to borrow wine to worry about? Is there something troubling going on in the hospital, but I don’t see it. ”
Ye Qingming took a deep breath. He didn’t want to waste any more time with her, because right now, all he could think about was how to quickly go back home and have a good talk with Lin Qingrou.
Xiao Chu Xin seemed to see through his thoughts, and didn’t intentionally make things difficult for him: “Director Ye, since we met, can you just treat it as giving me face and drinking this cup? Just one glass! ”
She waved her finger in front of his face, as if she wasn’t lying.
Ye Qingming glanced at her and pretended not to hear her.
Xiao Chu was embarrassed by Ye Qingming, he did not get angry and followed behind him. When Ye Qingming got into the car, she suddenly got into the first passenger seat.
Ye Qingming frowned. He immediately got out of the car, opened the door to the front passenger seat and ordered Xiao Chuxin, “Get out!”
Xiao Chu said coquettishly, “Can’t you just give me some along the way?”
Ye Qingming said without any hesitation, “No, we’re not going the same way.”
Xiao Chuxin bit her lips tightly. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and said, “Alright, I’ll put it down.” After she finished speaking, she actually took the opportunity to hook her arm around Ye Qingming’s neck and hung onto his body, refusing to come down.
Ye Qingming had no other choice but to endure it and not curse out loud. Then, he forced her arm away and pushed her to the side.
Xiao Chuxin snickered at the side, but this time she was afraid of angering Ye Qingming, so she did not follow.
Ye Qingming returned to the car, stepped on the accelerator and jumped out. From the rearview mirror, he looked at the blurry scene where he was getting further and further away from the light. Suddenly, he felt regret, regret that he had actually come to this kind of place in an attempt to find the answer, to hide from reality. He quickly drove home. The moment he stood downstairs and saw the warm yellow light shining in the living room upstairs, he felt his heart warm up, followed by a surge of guilt and uneasiness.
Ye Qing thought that perhaps Lin Qingrou had already fallen asleep at this time. However, when he opened the door and entered the room, he saw her watching television on the sofa.
As soon as he entered, she asked, “Why are you so late today? Have you eaten?”
Shaking his head, not daring to look at her, he turned and walked into the study.
Under the flickering light, Lin Qingrou felt her heart turn cold. She had already seen the light pink kiss mark on Ye Qingming’s neck.
But she did not speak, did not question, only pretended not to see, did not know. Because she knew that they could not afford to keep so many quarrels and suspicions between them. Right now their relationship was like a glass that seemed solid, but was actually extremely fragile. Under such heavy pressure, this piece of glass would definitely be smashed to smithereens, unable to be restored to its original state.
Ye Qingming calmed himself down, came to the living room and asked, “Did you eat it?” Do you want to come with me? ”
Lin Qingrou had been waiting for him the entire time. Even though the food had already been heated several times, she did not eat it herself first.
“I’ve eaten. Remember to warm up yourself.” She smiled.
Ye Qingming nodded. When he arrived at the dining room and sat down, he suddenly felt a sticky feeling on his neck. When he wiped it with a tissue, he actually wiped off a pink lipstick mark. He was stunned and wiped the lipstick off his neck. He prayed that Lin Qingrou did not see it.
Ye Qingming was unhappy, so he ate nervously. After dinner, he sat on the sofa to watch TV with Lin. Lin Qingrou pretended to turn around, but she suddenly realized that the area around his neck was completely clean, as if he had never used lipstick before. However, the pink had already seeped into the texture of his skin. No matter how many times he wiped it off, how could he remove all the imprints?
Lin Qingrou still looked the same, she asked while watching TV, “Are you busy with the hospital today? I’ve been back so late these days. ”
Ye Qingming felt a bit awkward. He nodded and said, “Yes. I’ve been preparing for the seminar, so I can’t help but be busy.”
Lin Qingrou looked at him and thought for a moment before saying, “I’ve been to the Sacred Hospital already today, with Fang Tong.”
Ye Qingming looked at her in surprise. He didn’t expect her to take the initiative to tell him.
Lin Qingrou laughed, then said, “Why are you so surprised? But I was just as surprised as you to hear from him, and I asked him several times where he had been and when he would be back. ”
“What did he say?” Ye Qingming asked.
Lin Qingrou shrugged, “I didn’t say anything. I just said that I will help a friend now, and I estimate that I will be leaving soon.”
“Are you going to the interview today?”
“It’s gone smoothly. It will end very soon.”
“That’s good.”
Ye Qingming suddenly felt absent-minded. This was because he began to feel ashamed and guilty about his past sensitivity and worry. And when he thought about what he had met tonight, he felt even more reproachful and angry at himself.
Seeing that he did not say anything, Lin Manrou guessed what he was thinking.
So she rubbed his shoulder and said, “If you’re tired, go to bed early. You’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow. You should be very busy tomorrow. ”
At this moment, Ye Qingming gently held her hand and said gently, “I will leave a bit longer this time, but I will try to come back as soon as possible.” You need to eat properly. If you don’t want to cook anymore, then find Liu Yuxi and go out to eat. But don’t eat hot and spicy food or crayfish. It’s bad for your health. ”
“I’m not at home. You need to bring your key with you when you go out, lest it be locked outside the house. “Also, although the security in our district is pretty good, don’t go home too late tonight. When you enter the elevator, you still have to check the surroundings to see if there’s anyone else.”
“If you can’t sleep at night, try your best not to take any pills. The longer you stay awake, the more difficult it will become to rely on.”
Ye Qingming talked a lot, but Lin Qingrou didn’t seem to be bothered by it at all. The hot air in the air conditioner caressed her face, soft and warm. She looked at his tired profile, as if she suddenly understood the true meaning of “peace and quiet”.
However, she did not know how much of what he said was genuine and how much was false. Thus, every time she thought about it, she felt as if her heart was being pierced by a sharp weapon.
“Have you memorized everything?” Ye Qingming suddenly asked.
Lin Qingrou stared at his face, lost in thought. In the end, her eyes turned red, and in the blink of an eye, a few tears flowed down her cheeks.
However, Ye Qingming panicked. He lowered his head to look at her face and said nervously, “How can I leave without worrying about this? If I knew earlier, I would have rejected your offer.”
Lin Qingrou waved her hand, explaining, “It’s alright, I was just having a difficult time with my eyes just now, so I cried a little. It’s nothing.”
Ye Qingming smiled as he comforted her, “Alright, I’ll be back in ten days!”
Lin Qingrou nodded. She was not only concerned about when he would leave and when he would return, she was even more concerned about what he said and did when they were together. She understood that this kind of behavior might be a bit of a waste of time, but it could also be said to be meaningless. At the very least, it would allow her to know where she was fooled while playing dumb and where she had lost!
