“Yeah, there’s still some work I haven’t finished . ” Qin Ning held onto the mouse and stared at the computer screen, her heart pounding erratically .
“What did that kid decide with you?”
“We didn’t really talk about it . He’ll leave tomorrow . ” Qin Ning tried to hide her disappointment with an expressionless face .
“He’s leaving tomorrow? He doesn’t want to agree to my offer?” Papa Qin looked surprised .
“Daddy… how old are you again? How could you be this naïve? Tang Chuan’s from a super-rich family . The Tang Family is incredibly highly regarded domestically and they’re equal to us in terms of capital . His father is the head of the family, a man with a reputation to upkeep . How could he allow his son to be a live-in son-in-law?” Qin Ning tried her best to not leak her disappointed she felt .
“Did he say these things himself or are you speaking for him?” asked Papa Qin .
“What’s the difference?” Qin Ning asked in a cavalier tone .
“Of course there’s a difference . If he said it himself, then he’s not that serious about you… and you don’t need a man like that… But if you’re speaking for him, then you’re the one who’s making the decision for him . You’re not him, after all, you don’t know what he’s thinking . ”
“Forget it, Dad, let’s stop talking about this . Little Chuan and I… well, I guess this is it for us . Maybe it’s better if we stay friends… please don’t give him a hard time . Plus, I’m still young and not in a hurry to get married . If you need more help at the company, just hire more people . Hire more high-level professionals . Stop spending your energy on my marriage . ”
Qin Ning seemed to have frustrations towards her father so her polite tone sounded forced .
“Ning-Ning… Daddy’s just…”
“Dad, I’m tired . I’m going to sleep after I finish this . You should sleep early too . ” Qin Ning didn’t give her father a chance to talk and ended the conversation resolutely .
Papa Qin sighed and said nothing . He then turned and walked away .
He had wanted to have a talk with the kid but decided that it was better not to as it may complicate things even more .
Just like that, the three residents of the gigantic mansion separated, each burdened with their own thoughts .
Both Qin Ning and Tang Chuan couldn’t sleep and the mansion fell into silence .
Qin Ning refreshed her page over and over again, waiting for Tang Chuan to say something to her .
Unfortunately, there was no sign of that .
Qin Ning wanted to initiate a conversation but found herself without words .
Finally, at 1:40 AM sharp…
Tang Chuan updated his status…
“I play hard but I also work hard . I can scare you with my promiscuity but I can also shock you with my dedication . I can reign in the business world but I can also appreciate the little things with you at home . All of this depends on who you are and how you treat me . Between the freezing and boiling points, the amount of fire you give me is what determines how I treat you . So, please do not judge me from your point of view, for I’m afraid that you will never see through me . ”
Qin Ning didn’t know how to feel after reading his status . This was the first time she had seen Tang Chuan’s more serious side .
Dark and cold… He was completely different from his normal comedic self .
Feeling restless, Qin Ning couldn’t help but send him a message .
“Are you asleep?”
“I’m sleeping now,” Tang Chuan immediately replied .
“Alright then, I’ll drive you to the airport tomorrow… I’ve already booked your ticket . ”
“Thanks,” Tang Chuan replied politely .
Qin Ning was both happy and disappointed by the polite response .
Shouldn’t she be happy about his willingness to let her go?
The ticket Qin Ning booked was for 10 AM the next morning .
Qin Ning woke up at 6, unable to fall back asleep . With heavy eye bags, she got up to make toast and heat up the milk .
She wanted to have breakfast with Tang Chuan .
When she knocked on the door, there was no reply .
“Can I come in? Little Chuan?” Qin Ning thought that he was showering .
