Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C79
When Ye Sisi returned home and saw that the living room was empty, she actually let out a sigh of relief. She didn’t want to see her parents because she was afraid that they would ask her about her feelings without end. Therefore, since they weren’t here now, she was naturally overjoyed.
After Liu Yuxi saw that Ye Sisi had safely reached home, he called Lin Manshou.
“According to my speculations, Ye Sisi must have quarreled with her family.”
Seeing how certain she was, Lin Manrou could not help but ask, “How did you know? Did she tell you?”
Liu Yuxi got into the car and said to her, “Her expression and actions just now showed that she doesn’t want to go home. She probably had to come back because something happened at home. “Speaking of which, has Ye Qingming talked to you about anything recently?”
Lin Manrou thought for a while and replied, “No, recently, Ye Qingzhi and Quan Wei rarely got into any trouble, so I think it’s probably a private matter of Ye Qingcheng’s family.”
“Could it be that Ye Qingming found out about the matter between Ye Sisi and Li Fang, which is why Ye Qingcheng sent her back from school?”
Although Lin Qingrou felt that this was a possibility, she didn’t think it would develop that fast. Plus, Ye Qingcheng wouldn’t have asked Ye Sisi to drop her studies and come back from England just because of this matter.
At this time, Liu Yuxi suddenly said, “I saw Ye Qingcheng’s car, it’s right in front of my car. It seems like he came back with Shen Ruzhen. ”
Lin Qingrou instantly felt a little nervous. She asked, “Did they go home?”
“Yeah, but they’re all wearing black, so they should be at the funeral or at the cemetery.” Liu Yuxi speculated.
Graveyard?
Lin Qingrou suddenly remembered the day she went to the cemetery with Ye Qingming.
“Did they bring anything back?”
“No, I’m empty-handed.” Liu Yuxi mumbled.
“It doesn’t matter if Ye Qingcheng doesn’t have anything, why doesn’t Shen Ru Zhen have a bag either? This didn’t seem like the style of the principal’s wife. Did she not take a bag when you met in the past? ”
Lin Qingrou thought about it and shook her head, “No.”
As the two were on the phone, Ye Qingming suddenly came back.
“Let’s not talk about it anymore, we’ll talk next time,” Lin Qingrou said.
She then stood up and asked Ye Qingming, “Is there anyone who wants to cause trouble at the hospital today?”
Ever since Ye Qingming knew that she was pregnant, he had been in a good mood. He smiled and said, “The hospital sent people to settle this matter yesterday. I don’t think they will come back in the future.”
Lin Qingrou was surprised. “So fast.”
Ye Qingming could finally sit down at home and relax. He sighed and said to Lin Qingrou, “Now that there’s no such thing, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Lin Qingrou nodded, but she was also curious, “How did you get rid of it?”
Ye Qingming smiled and said helplessly, “Are you that curious?”
“Mm, just say it.”
“Actually, I’m not too sure either. After all, this is a matter of the hospital and I have never cared about it. However, the head nurse later said that the hospital has given the family some money, so it could be considered as a small matter. ”
Lin Qingrou was enlightened. This matter seemed to be resolved easily, but as an outsider, she did not know what had happened to both sides.
Lin Qingrou reminded him, “Ye Sisi is returning home today. Did you know?”
Only then did Ye Qingming remember. He slapped his thigh and said, “I would have forgotten if you didn’t say. It should be today’s plane. But how do you know? ”
Lin Qingrou then said, “My sister-in-law called me yesterday and told me to pick her up today. However, Yu Xi was afraid that I wasn’t feeling well, so I let her go. Sister-in-law won’t be angry, will she? ”
Ye Qingming looked at her intently, then he carefully tucked her hair behind his ear and said, “You can call me, don’t trouble her.”
“Who knows if you were in surgery or out of the clinic, I wouldn’t dare to call you.” Lin Qingrou said.
Ye Qingming smiled and asked, “Do you feel better today?”
“It’s much better now. I think it’ll be the same in a few days.”
“The same as before? “Don’t scare me, I think it’s best if you stay home and rest. This way, it’ll be good for both you and your child.”
Looking at his nervous expression, Lin Qingrou couldn’t help but ask, “I want to ask you a question.”
“How would you feel without this child?”
Ye Qingming did not understand, “What do you mean without this child? Do you mean to say that you don’t want this child now? ”
His eyes gradually became vigilant.
Lin Qingrou said, “I keep having the feeling that this isn’t the right time to do so.”
Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou in disbelief. Suddenly, he sat up straight and asked, “What you’re telling me right now, are you speaking your heart out to me?”
Lin Qingrou didn’t say anything, but the silence was enough to express her unspoken wish.
Ye Qingming nodded as he slowly pulled his body out. He stood up and said helplessly, “The child is in your body. You can decide for yourself.”
He picked up his coat and ran out the door.
Lin Qingrou sat on the sofa, staring ahead in a daze. Even the heavy slamming of the door by Ye Qingming did not wake her. She suddenly felt extremely vexed. She was vexed over why she did not explain and just allowed the situation to unfold without any forewarning. It had to be known that what was happening now was not her original intention, nor was it her original intention.
After Ye Qingming left his home, he wandered around the streets aimlessly. It was as if he couldn’t find a place to quietly think and give him warmth.
Tonight, the wind seemed especially cold. Only when it blew into his neck did he feel a bit numb. Unknowingly, he walked into the park, randomly found a chair and sat down. Ye Qingming rubbed his hands together, and the temperature in his palm gradually rose. He couldn’t help but look at his finger and touch the ring on his neck. His heart suddenly trembled as if he remembered something.
As he thought about this, he couldn’t help but slowly stand up. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise with his own heart.
Ye Qingming quickly walked home. The closer he got to home, the more anxious he became. When he ran back to the apartment building, he suddenly saw a familiar figure peeking out from the entrance while carefully walking down the stairs. Seeing that no one was around, she took out her cell phone and made an anxious call.
Ye Qingming watched quietly and felt that the phone in his pocket was vibrating uneasily. He picked up his cell phone. Before he could say anything, he heard a pitiful voice from inside, “I thought you wouldn’t pick up my phone. Since you did, then go home.”
To Ye Qingming, going home was an ordinary word. To him, it sounded exceptionally perfect and beautiful.
He resisted the urge to laugh and say anything, unwilling to destroy all of the negative images that he had just built.
“Why aren’t you talking? Are you still angry? I really didn’t mean to, it was just a casual remark. ”
“No, I’ve gone home.” As Ye Qingming spoke, he walked out from behind the tree. When he was face to face with Lin Qingrou, he saw her wearing slippers in a panic.
Ye Qingming nervously pulled her home, gently berating her, “You’re wearing so little and don’t catch a cold. If you’re not careful, then it won’t be as simple as resting at home!”
Lin Qingrou, who was following behind, heaved a sigh of relief.
When the two of them returned home one after the other, Ye Qingming suddenly asked, “I didn’t expect you to call me. Actually, I was already back at that time.”
Lin Manmei shrunk her neck, then she took a piece of paper from the sofa and showed it to him.
“I saw this.”
Ye Qingming glanced at it and actually said with some embarrassment, “Where did you find it?”
Lin Qingrou looked at it seriously. “It fell out of your pocket after you left.”
Ye Qingming looked at it and said, “This is a blueprint. If the child is successfully born, the nursery will look like this.”
Lin Qingrou looked at him, and suddenly blurted out, “It’s like I’m in a dream.”
“Why do you say that?”
She smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect to have children so soon.”
Lin Qingrou looked at the side of Ye Qingming’s face as she quietly enjoyed this rare moment of peace and quiet.
As matters stood, if this was destined to be a dream, then let Ye Qingming make this dream a little more beautiful. This was the only thing she could do.
After dinner, Ye Qingcheng and Shen Ruzhen sat on either side of the sofa. Seeing this, Ye Sisi had no choice but to sit upright in the middle of the sofa. The family seemed to be in an interrogation, but this was not the first time it happened in the Ye Family.
Before Ye Sisi could say anything, Shen Ruzhen saw the serious expression on Ye Qingcheng’s face and tried to ease the tension. She told Ye Sisi, “It’s going to be difficult to get home, so you have to stay at home with me. Don’t think about going out for fun.”
Ye Sisi nodded vigorously. “Alright, I will not leave my house until I pass through the gate.”
Just as she finished her sentence, Ye Qingcheng suddenly said with a gloomy face, “Tomorrow, go to the hospital.”
Ye Sisi was confused.
“Ji Heng’s grandma is recently hospitalized. You should go take a look.”
When Ye Sisi heard this, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat anxious.
“Dad, the reason you called me back was because Ji Heng’s grandmother was sick, right?”
Ye Qingcheng looked at her, the expression on his face unmoved.
In this situation, no matter how good of a temper Ye Sisi had, or how ladylike she acted, she could not help but be angry, “Dad! Just what do you think I am, a tool for you to exchange your power with the upper class? ”
Shen Ru Zhen was shocked. She had never seen Ye Sisi speak to Ye Qingcheng with such excitement before. On the contrary, Ye Qingcheng was actually very calm. He merely tapped his finger on the sofa twice before he said to Ye Sisi, “You have no choice in this matter. Blame it on your poor judgement.”
Ye Sisi retorted, “Even if he can’t accomplish anything now, he’s still young. As long as he’s willing to work hard, there will come a day when he’ll be successful in his career!”
Ye Qingcheng finally had an expression on his face. He sneered and said, “So now you think he has achieved nothing?”
Ye Sisi was speechless. She looked at Ye Qingcheng guiltily and said, “So what? I can wait for him.”
Shen Ru Zhen became anxious: Wait for him? “How long are you going to wait? When you’re over thirty years old and he still can’t afford a suite?”
“Sisi, it’s not that your father and I look down on him. But the two of you are not from the same world. Even if we were to barely be together in the future, we will not be happy. ”
As Ye Sisi listened, tears began to fall unknowingly.
“You are my parents, are you going to curse my future life just like that?”
Shen Ruzhen held onto her forehead and sighed. She said to Ye Sisi, “We’re doing this for your own good. I’ll think of all the possibilities for you.”
Ye Sisi could not accept this. “Don’t tell me that you and your father were never young, never experienced struggle, or were never understood by others?”
Shen Ruzhen did not say a word. She looked at Ye Qingcheng and then turned her face away.
Ye Sisi gnashed her teeth as she looked at them and sneered, “I got it. Grandpa and Grandma have a high status, so Daddy has never experienced the life of an ordinary person. It’s because of this, that you don’t know how hard an ordinary mortal has to work, in order to live the most ordinary life in our eyes! ”
Ye Qingcheng furrowed his brows. His eyes were squinting, as if he was about to get angry.
Shen Ruzhen’s heart was filled with anxiety, but at this moment, she was unable to say anything, making it difficult for her to say anything.
Just as the family was in a state of tension, the sudden sound of the doorbell suddenly broke the terrifying silence.
Shen Ruzhen regained her senses and quickly opened the door.
“Why are you guys here? “Sisi, look who’s here.”
As they were talking, Ye Qingming and Lin Qingrou walked in together. When they raised their heads and saw the family of Ye Qingcheng, they couldn’t help but be stunned.
Ye Qingming said, “Sis, if it’s inconvenient, we can come back next time.”
Shen Ruzhen was worried that Ye Qingcheng and Ye Sisi would start a fight, so she hoped that Ye Qingming would be able to break the stalemate. She quickly explained, “It’s alright. Please come in quickly.”
As he spoke, he led the way in.
Lin Man and Ye Qingcheng looked at each other. Seeing that his face was still as dark as ever, she first gave a polite smile, then turned to look at Ye Sisi.
Shen Ruzhen said to her, “I’ve really troubled your friend today. If I had known earlier, I would have pushed the matter aside and gone to pick her up.”
Lin Qingrou smiled, “It’s alright. I wasn’t feeling well today, so I wasn’t able to personally go to pick her up. I was afraid that she might be unhappy, so I specially came to see her tonight.”
After saying that, Ye Qingming helped Lin Qingrou sit down.
Seeing the situation, Ye Sisi called out to them, “Uncle, Aunt.”
Ye Sisi’s eyes reddened and she went straight back to her bedroom.
Ye Qingming laughed, “You got mad at me again?”
Shen Ruzhen was worried, so she sighed and said to Ye Qingming, “She wants to be with a classmate, it’s useless no matter how much her father and I try to persuade her.”
Ye Qingcheng then asked Ye Qingming, “Have you settled the matters at the hospital?”
Ye Qingming nodded, “A few of them are ‘habitual offenders’, so after the hospital sends the family away, it’s over.”
Hearing them talking about their official business, Lin Qingrou became a little bored. She turned to Shen Ruzhen and said, “Can I go and see Sisi?”
Shen Ruzhen nodded her head. At this moment, she was already exhausted, so she didn’t want to try to persuade him anymore.
As she spoke, Lin Qingrou walked to the door of Ye Sisi’s bedroom. After knocking twice, she heard the words, “Please enter.” She then gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Ye Sisi was lying on the bed. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Lin Qingrou enter. Then, she quickly got up and wiped away the tears on her face. “Please take a seat. My room is a bit messy. I haven’t had time to clean it up after returning home.”
Lin Qingrou smiled, then sat down on a chair and said, “I should be the one picking you up today, do you mind?”
Ye Sisi didn’t care about this. She shook her head and said, “Who’s going to pick me up? No one in this family really hopes for my return.”
“What’s wrong? Can you tell me?” Lin Qingrou could not help but to ask.
Ye Sisi rested her chin on the pillow. She held a piece of her hair and rubbed it in her hands, fidgeting with it. She then said to Lin Qingrou, “It’s nothing. It’s just some insignificant matters.”
Lin looked at her face. It was delicate and quiet, like the image of a lady in a European oil painting. And such a beautiful face, now suffering from torture and shock, has become decadent, pale.
Every time this happened, Lin Qingrou would feel incomparably guilty and regretful. She knew that she was secretly destroying the pure heart of a girl. Was this what she had to do in order to get revenge?
Ye Sisi saw that she was lost in thought and couldn’t help but ask, “Aunt, why did you marry my uncle? Because uncle is rich, or someone else is handsome, or something? ”
Lin Manrou thought about it, but this question stopped her.
If it wasn’t revenge, would he have known Ye Qingming? Even if she knew him, would she fall in love with him? They had known each other, gotten married, and even now, they had gotten pregnant. Now that they had reached this point, Lin Qingrou was no longer able to turn back. However, what caused her to sink deeper and deeper into her thoughts, even she did not know.
Ye Sisi looked curiously at Lin Qingrou. She didn’t know why she didn’t say anything, but she seemed to be deep in thought for a long time.
At this moment, Ye Qingming pushed open the half-open door. When he saw Ye Sisi, he asked, “You’re complaining again?”
Lin Qingrou heard Ye Qingming’s voice and came back to her senses. She said, “It’s nothing, just chatting.”
Ye Sisi finally smiled when she saw this. She said to Ye Qingming, “I’m asking about the two of you.”
Ye Qingming said, “The two of us? “Then you should ask me. I know better.”
Lin Qingrou looked at him curiously, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Ye Sisi asked curiously, “How did you meet?”
“My friend introduced us.”
“A friend’s introduction?” “I can’t believe it.”
Ye Qingming did not understand, “Why wouldn’t you think of that?”
“If it was someone else, maybe I would understand. “But Uncle, I don’t really believe you. You shouldn’t be thinking of going on a blind date, right?”
Lin Qingrou couldn’t help but laugh at Ye Sisi’s words.
Ye Qingming pretended to be serious as he said to Ye Sisi, “Child, don’t worry about adult matters.”
Ye Sisi covered her mouth and snickered, then asked, “Then what do you guys like about each other? Why did you choose him or her to marry? ”
Ye Qingming muttered to himself for a while, before looking at Lin Qingrou with certainty, “Because the way she laughs is very beautiful.”
Ye Sisi looked at Lin Qingrou in confusion. She didn’t find anything special about her. However, as they chatted, Ye Sisi had to admit one thing. Even though she didn’t look like a beautiful woman, she possessed an irresistible aura.
Lin Qingrou was embarrassed. Smiling, she pushed Ye Qingming to the side and said to Ye Sisi, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. He was just teasing you.”
Ye Sisi smiled and said, “This is a show of love. How can I endure it?”
After Ye Sisi finished talking to them, she finally felt a bit better. She held onto Lin Qingrou’s hand and pleaded, “Aunt, can I come and find you tomorrow? It’s so boring to be at home alone. ”
“No.” Ye Qingming rejected without hesitation.
With a bitter face, Ye Sisi asked, “Why!?”
“She’s not in a good condition right now, so if you go, you’ll pester her to trouble her.”
Ye Sisi wrinkled her nose and looked pitifully at Lin Qingrou, hoping that she would “get away from it”. Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming, knowing that he was joking with Ye Sisi. She smiled at Ye Sisi and said, “It’s alright. If you want to go, you’re welcome at any time.”
“Now!” Ye Sisi cheered, throwing the pillow high into the air to catch it.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingming could only let out a long sigh, before whispering to Lin Qingrou, “Now you’re busy.”
