Xiao He: "Are you two together?"
Qiao Ying thought for a moment: "I'm quite attracted to him."
Xiao He: "So you don't like him yet, let alone officially become a couple." There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
He added: "Even if you do become official, it would just be a common romance, whether it goes anywhere is uncertain."
Qiao Ying didn't answer him. She said indifferently: "Let's stop here today. The psychologist is coming in a few days, get ready."
Xiao He looked cheerful: "Okay."
That day,
Before Qiao Ying and Xiao He could leave, Qin Hanyue came first.
It was Xiao He who opened the door for Qin Hanyue.
As soon as the two met, the atmosphere instantly tensed up, sparks seemed to fly in the air.
Not only were there night classes, but Xiao He was here in broad daylight too.
Qin Hanyue's face was slightly cold. He glanced at Xiao He, walked straight past him into the villa, and saw Qiao Ying coming down the stairs.
He asked: "Going out?"
Qiao Ying looked at him: "Yeah, did you need something?"
Qin Hanyue was holding something. He walked over and put it on the table: "I brought you some fruit, grapes air-flown from Acklin."
Qiao Ying: "Oh, anything else? I'm going out with Xiao He." She spoke flatly.
Xiao He stood quietly on the side watching the two.
Perhaps because Qin Hanyue was visibly jealous the other night, but Qiao Ying didn't react, causing some tension between them.
Which man could remain indifferent and have absolute trust when seeing the woman he was ambiguous with entangled with another man under the same roof every day?
Yet Qin Hanyue still lowered his stance and brought gifts to warm up the relationship. It was clear he had quite deep feelings for Qiao Ying.
But he didn't expect the "third party" to be here again.
Qin Hanyue: "May I ask what this is about?"
Qin Yan: What is the situation today? Did the Third Master and Miss Qiao have a quarrel? How did this happen so suddenly?
Qiao Ying looked at the mentally unsound Xiao He and hid his illness for him, saying: "It's private."
Qin Hanyue stared at Qiao Ying for a long time, took a deep breath.
His tone remained gentle: "Is it urgent? If not, I'd like to talk with you."
Qiao Ying: "I don't have time now, next time."
Qin Hanyue's eyes darkened: "You have time for others, but not me."
On the side, Qin Yan was greatly shocked: What exactly was going on? The Third Master is so arrogant today? Did he grow wings? How dare he speak to Miss Qiao like that?
At this time, Xiao He said to Qiao Ying: "Just give me the address, I'll go by myself."
Qiao Ying didn't respond to Xiao He, but told Qin Hanyue: "Xiao He and I have something important to do." Her brows showed slight impatience.
In the end, she still said to Qin Hanyue: "Let's talk in my room."
Then she told Xiao He: "Wait for me."
But Qin Hanyue said: "Let's just talk here, I don't think he needs to avoid this."
Qiao Ying's brows furrowed slightly, but she agreed: "Go ahead."
Qin Hanyue asked her: "What is our relationship?"
Qiao Ying was a little speechless: "Mr. Qin, are you getting older and anxious to get married and have children? Why are you asking me about our relationship again?"
Qin Hanyue: "So when does Miss Qiao plan to end this ambiguity between us? Or did you only intend for ambiguity from the start?"
Qiao Ying: "Didn't Mr. Qin quite enjoy this kind of interaction? Greed is not a good thing."
The robot Qiao Yi slid over anxiously and pleaded to both Qiao Ying and Qin Hanyue: "Don't fight, don't fight, don't fight."
"Woof."
The Fourth Master pushed away the mediating Qiao Yi, pushed it back into the room, and very skillfully closed the door. Then he hurried back to watch the show.
Qin Hanyue's face was expressionless: "What do you take me for?"
Qiao Ying: "For marriage, Mr. Qin is indeed a very good choice, but I have no plans to marry. I understand Mr. Qin is older and anxious, but I hope Mr. Qin can also understand me. We haven't known each other long. Mr. Qin is in too much of a hurry, putting me in a difficult position."
"If Mr. Qin is willing, wait another 5 or 6 years. By then, my thoughts on marriage may be clearer."
Such awful words.
Qin Hanyue stared at her in a daze for a long time.
Qiao Ying: "I'm free-spirited and hate being restrained. If Mr. Qin can't handle it, we can go back to being friends."
It was rare for Qin Hanyue to lose his composure: "I never thought of restraining you."
Qiao Ying looked at him, seeming somewhat remorseful.
But she still stated clearly: "To me, love is not a necessity, at best a leisurely indulgence. As someone of Mr. Qin's status, shouldn't you be more clear-headed than me? Besides, didn't you know from the start that I'm not a good woman?"
Qin Hanyue: "What do these days together mean then?"
Qiao Ying: "If you insist on forcing me to confirm a relationship today, or marry you for life, I can only say sorry. I have many things of my own to do."
Qin Hanyue looked at her for a long time without speaking.
Qiao Ying: "I've made it quite clear. I think it's better for Mr. Qin to go back and re-evaluate our relationship after cooling down."
Qin Hanyue's face tightened. He seemed unable to accept this. He glanced at Xiao He, then left in large strides without a word.
Qin Yan was completely dumbfounded on the side.
Who could tell him what just happened?
Did the Third Master just get played with emotionally?
Because of this guy who had no money or power and didn't look nearly as good as the Third Master?
Where on earth did he come from?
Qin Yan was truly at a loss. He stole a glance in the rearview mirror.
Seeing the man's expressionless face, this silent anger was more frightening than loud scolding or losing control of emotions.
"Third...Third Master, did Miss Qiao reject you to avoid implicating you, like last time?" Qin Yan bravely spoke up.
"After all, Miss Qiao's enemies are from the shadows."
No response from the back seat.
Qin Yan swallowed: "Miss Qiao is still young. Marriage really is too early for her. Girls are naturally fickle, it's very normal for a girl to change her mind daily."
"Also, girls have those few bad days every month." Qin Yan kept making excuses.
It was also to reassure himself.
At this moment, Qiao Ying's idol image was precarious in his heart.
Yet Qin Hanyue still ignored him.
Seeing them like this made Qin Yan even more upset than when he was dumped by a scumbag.
The little seedling of the Third Master's budding love, he was still waiting for it to grow tall and strong, but now it was going to be uprooted with a shovel!
On the other side,
Qiao Ying took Xiao He to see a psychologist.
Xiao He looked at Qiao Ying's calm profile as she drove with one hand, somewhat worried: "Offending him like this, will it cause trouble?"
Qiao Ying didn't speak.
After driving through a red light, she finally responded: "We're all adults. Besides, it's not like he suffered any losses." Not finishing her sentence about interfering with her making friends...
Seeing her unhappy, Xiao He didn't speak further.
But he was thinking about other things in his mind.
Soon,
the car arrived at a private hospital.
Qiao Ying took Xiao He upstairs, where Cheng Jinyan was already waiting.
