Lin Qingrou immediately felt unsettled, "What? Marriage, why is it so sudden? Isn't it supposed to wait until next year … "

"I don't want to wait any longer." Ye Qingming suddenly interrupted her.

"I …" Lin Qingrou was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say next. But when she calmed down, she said firmly, "I don't know what happened to you that made you so anxious to get married, but if there's anything you need, you can tell me. Maybe we can face it together."

Her words were full of sincerity, almost to the point where even Lin Canrou herself could not tell if what she said was a lie or an honest response.

However, Ye Qingming still chose to remain silent. He did not say anything, as if he wanted to use a silent method to refuse to share the deepest secret of his heart with her.

Lin Qingrou suddenly felt that something was wrong. Was there a problem with the Ye Family?!

She composed herself and said slowly, "Since you've already decided, I'll listen to you."

Ye Qingming answered with a "hmm" and then appeared to be relieved. His tone also became gentler: "Is your wound better now? Does it still hurt? "

Lin Qingrou looked at her leg and joked, "I feel much better. Right now, this leg is comparable to an Iron Man's. There shouldn't be any problems doing anything now."

Ye Qingming actually laughed softly and comforted her, "Don't spout nonsense and take good care of your injuries. I'll see you after I get off work. "

Lin Qingrou answered quietly for the rest of her life. After a while, both of them hung up the phone at the same time. However, she suddenly had a bad premonition. Would marriage really go smoothly?

Holding the phone in her hand, she unknowingly looked at the mirror beside her and couldn't help but be shocked by her own appearance. Dark circles under her eyes, sallow cheeks, and bloodless lips. It had only been a few days, and she was already so pale. Lin Qingrou couldn't help but rub her face. Then, she held onto the wall and ran to the bathroom to wash her face before returning to the dressing table. Her heart was filled with anticipation as she carefully painted her makeup. She watched the second hand tick by beat as she waited for Ye Qingming to finish.

Just as Lin Qingrou was about to fall asleep on the table, the doorbell finally rang.

She immediately stood up, ignoring the cast on her feet as she hobbled to the door. However, when she stood at the door, she didn't feel any slow down. She nervously took a deep breath before finally slowly opening the door.

However, the moment the door opened and they looked at each other, Lin Qingrou could clearly see Ye Qingming frowning, as well as a look of confusion and disgust in his eyes. Lin Qingrou's heart sank. It felt like she was carrying a glacier with her as she plummeted down rapidly.

However, Ye Qingming slowly returned to his original appearance. He helped Lin Qingrou back into the room and sat down with her. Lin Qingrou used her hands to grab a corner of the sofa. Her peripheral vision kept scanning Ye Qingming's face.

Ye Qingming rested his elbows on his knees as he used his arms to support his exhausted body.

Lin Qingrou wanted to place her hand on his shoulder to comfort him, but when she gently lifted her hand, she instantly gave up. She didn't know why, but she either didn't dare or was unwilling.

In the end, she still acted as if she was an outsider, as if they had met for the first time. With a calm tone, she asked, "Just what is the reason, can you explain it to me?"

Ye Qingming couldn't help but look at her. He originally thought that their relationship didn't need to be spoken with such a strange tone, but Lin Qingrou's inexplicable estrangement made him worry.

Gradually, Ye Qingming's inner heart began to loosen. He subconsciously did not want Lin Qingrou to feel a sense of distance from him. Perhaps he was afraid that she would go back on her word and marry him.

"I …" Are you sure you want to know? "

"Why can't I know that I'm not the one who married you?"

Ye Qingming couldn't help covering his face with his hands and said in a low voice, "It's me, my girlfriend suddenly came back. She's at my house right now."

Lin Qingrou was completely stunned. She was caught off guard and a little angry at how suddenly Xing Ruonan had appeared. However, Ye Qingming thought that she was too shocked to say anything.

He comforted her with great annoyance, and carefully said, "I already said that I shouldn't have thought about what you said. Are you alright? If you want to curse me, just say it. If you keep it in your heart, it will be bad for your health. "

"Do you still love her?" Lin Qingrou looked into Ye Qingming's eyes, as if she could see right through him.

Ye Qingming avoided her eyes and said hesitantly, "I …" I really don't know. "

Lin Qingrou gave up. She laid back on the sofa and said coldly, "Since that's the case, we'll talk about it when you've thought it through. I won't force you no matter what you want to do. " As she spoke, her nose was sore and her throat was tight, as if tears had been rolling in her eyes for hundreds of times, but she still stubbornly refused to fall. She didn't think that Ye Qingming didn't say anything and seemed to tacitly agree. He slowly stood up and said in a relaxed voice, "I'm going home now. I'll settle her matter first, then I'll think about our matter."

"Up to you."

However, when she heard Ye Qingming close the door, Lin Qingrou was unable to hold it in. Large, scalding tears fell on her face and clothes. She wiped her face and smiled wryly. What was a woman pretending to be so sentimental about? But, was he crying because of his feelings? How could this be? He was just a pawn, a pawn that was close to the Ye Family's attack on Ye Qingcheng!

However, her tears that she could not wipe dry proved how depressed and upset she was right now.

However, when Liu Yuxi found out about this, she instantly erupted like a volcano, nearly breaking the tea table in Lin Manrou's house.

"Reject him, do you want to board two boats? "I really didn't realize that Ye Qingming was so shameless."

Lin Qingrou shook her head, signalling for her to calm down. When she finally calmed down, Lin Qingrou instantly regained her composure. She made up her mind and said, "So what if it's ten Xing Ruonan? No matter what, I'm going to kill Ye Qingming."

Liu Yuxi looked at Lin Qingrou, and a strange, excited light flashed in her eyes. Liu Yuxi had never seen this before, so she couldn't help but shiver.

But she did not think too much into it, and said while hugging Lin Qingrou's shoulder, "Don't worry! I'll definitely help you get him back! "

However, even if she didn't say anything, Lin Qingrou had been muddleheaded for the past few days. She often forgot to lock the door or turn off the fire while cooking.

She regretted that she was so useless. She was so distracted by Ye Qingming's words. Wasn't he too useless? One must know that even without Ye Qingming, she could still take revenge on the Ye Clan. Moreover, she wouldn't admit that she cared about or even felt jealous of Ye Qingming.

Fortunately, her injuries were almost healed, and once she went to work, she would be able to fill her life with work and not have to think about those annoying things. As she thought about it, Lin Qingrou's mood did not improve. Although she still felt a little unhappy, it was much better than the day when Ye Qingming came.

At this moment, she was alone in her bedroom, reading a book. It was rare for her to be able to quietly enjoy the afternoon sunlight, and the fragrance of the incense wafted out, drifting into the sunlight and dispersing. In an instant, the entire room was filled with a lazy and slightly drunk smell.

"Buzz buzz!"

The phone vibrated inappropriately beside the bed. Lin Qingrou rolled her body and looked at him unwillingly. Then, her expression immediately turned into one of vigilance.

Quan Wei? Would she call him?

For a moment, the names of Quan Wei, Ye Qingzhi, and Xing Ruonan rolled and rolled into Lin Manqian's mind. Right now, she was indeed worried, but other than the worry, she was more looking forward to it.

This day would eventually come, so he might as well end the battle quickly right now.

She got up and went to the drawer in the study and found an USB drive. She plugged it into the computer and popped out a bunch of folders.

"Manchu, it's me. I heard your leg is injured. How are you?" Quan Wei 'concernedly' asked.

Lin Qingrou cast a glance at her leg and chuckled softly. "It's almost done. Don't worry."

Suddenly, Quan Wei heaved a sigh of relief. "Ai, I was saying that since you're so strong, you'll definitely be fine, right?"

Seeing the hidden meaning behind her words, Lin Manrou said, "I know. No one would be in a good mood to see their ex-girlfriend, not to mention, he doesn't know who made his ex-girlfriend go missing."

"Don't say it like that, my brother is also confused, otherwise he wouldn't have known you." It seems like you deliberately took the opportunity to get to know him? "Hehe, now that Xing Ruonan's back, this isn't what you'd call snatching away someone's love. This is what you call returning the body to its rightful owner."

Hearing what Quan Wei said, Lin Manshou couldn't help but clap. She looked at the computer screen and sneered, "Okay, then let's see who stole the beloved one and who should return it to its owner."

After saying that, Lin Qingrou pressed down on the 'print' button. She watched as the printer slowly spat out one page after another of copies of the account book. Uncontrollably, she laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Quan Wei's thoughts were suddenly thrown into disarray as she asked anxiously.

Lin Qingrou looked at the document in her hands, then said with yearning, "Do you want to know? Why don't you come out and take a look for yourself? "

Quan Wei became anxious and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing? If you can't get my brother, you're going to threaten me, right? "

"That depends on my mood. If I want to, threatening you seems pretty fun." Lin Qingrou laughed.

"What exactly do you want?"

"Of course I'm going to show you something that will make you both excited and excited. This is probably what I'm calling … Return to its rightful owner? " Lin Qingrou said slowly.

After calming down for a moment, Quan Wei indifferently asked, "Where?"

Lin Qingrou raised an eyebrow and said a name.

Without any hesitation, Quan Wei replied, "Alright."

Lin Qingrou put down the phone, tidied up a pile of papers, and then put them into a brown paper bag. She wrapped the bag up and carefully put it into the bag. Her heart unexpectedly beat a few times, as if she was announcing the excitement of this upcoming meeting. However, she was still walking steadily. Her legs were gradually returning to how they were in the past. It was just that she hadn't had the time to remove the plaster. This was because she didn't want to see Ye Qingming, and she didn't want to see him so conflicted.

Lin Manshou changed into a new set of clothes, then took her bag and the stack of documents to the agreed location.

Before she saw Quan Wei, Lin Qingrou's mind was already plotting on how to talk to Quan Wei after meeting her. She probably imagined countless different kinds of situations when they would meet, such as intense, hypocritical, and even begging … But none of it had surprised her as much as what she saw now.

This was because Lin Qingrou had never expected that the people sitting with Quan Wei at this moment would be Xing Ruo Nan and Ye Qingming. She suddenly felt that it was laughable. Her heart couldn't help but twitch in pain, and even her legs were no longer agile. At this time, it wasn't just Lin Qingrou who felt this was ridiculous. Even Ye Qingming was looking at Quan Wei with an unreasonable look in his eyes. He originally thought that she had dragged him to meet a friend, and that they had coincidentally met by chance. However, he hadn't thought that this "friend" would actually be Lin Qingrou!

When Ye Qingming saw Lin Qingrou standing unsteadily by the door, he could not help but rush forward to support her.

"Clear name …" Xing Ruonan sat in the back and called out to him in a soft voice. An anxious expression appeared on Quan Wei's face as well. She looked at Ye Qingming, then Xing Ruo Nan, then asked, "Big brother, if you leave now, what will happen to Xing Ruo Nan?" She suffered so much, and now she's come back for you. "

Ye Qingming lowered his head and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he didn't even turn back to look at her as he walked over to help her into his car. Lin Qingrou couldn't help but say, "Why are you here?"

Ye Qingming sighed. He pinched the center of his brows and said tiredly, "She probably tricked me here. I wanted to find you recently, but I thought your leg should be dissected." "But I didn't expect …" He looked at Lin Qingrou helplessly.

"What about you? Why is he connected with them? I wonder if they're always mean to you? " He said with a hint of displeasure.

Lin Qingrou tried her best to soften her tone, saying, "I thought she would tell me some things about you, but who would've thought that all of you would come." After she finished speaking, she gently reached out and grabbed the corner of Ye Qingming's shirt. She lowered her head for a moment as if there were endless tears in her eyes as she said, "If it's still inconvenient right now, I might as well go home."

Ye Qingming was already angry, but when he saw the pitiful look on Lin Qingrou's face, he recalled the grievances she had suffered for the past few days. He ignored the two people in the house and simply closed the door, leaving immediately with Lin Qingrou.

Seeing the situation, Quan Wei hurriedly chased after them. However, when she arrived, she was only able to catch up to half of the figure of the car. The instant that Quan Wei and Lin Manrou looked at each other, she saw that Lin Qingrou had already put away her tears and revealed an endless smile of ridicule. She no longer looked as weak as she did earlier.

"Slut." She gnashed her teeth in hatred as her face turned deathly pale. She couldn't wait to catch up to Ye Qingming and finish off the car before she gave up.

At this moment, Xing Ruonan also rushed out. She weakly asked Quan Wei, "What do we do now?"

Quan Wei clenched her fists tightly. She turned around to glare at Xing Ruonan and said angrily, "Why didn't you chase after me just now? What's the use of coming out now?!" Get out of my sight, don't let me see you. "

As soon as she finished speaking, she hugged her bag tightly in her arms, as if she had been granted amnesty. She was about to leave as soon as possible, afraid that Quan Wei's anger would affect her like it used to.

But, "Wait." "Qin Lie!" Quan Wei suddenly shouted at her. She looked at Xing Ruo Nan, a dark smile on her face.

"Go home and tell Xing Dapeng not to speak of things he shouldn't. If he does, he might lose his daughter and end up losing soldiers."

This time, Xing Ruonan was truly frightened out of her wits. She hurriedly nodded her head and fled from this place.

When Lin Manshui and Ye Qingming returned home, Lin Canrou took advantage of Ye Qingming's return to the kitchen to pour water and hid the documents in the bookcase. She looked around uneasily and put them in the drawer below the bookcase.

"What are you looking for?" Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou with a glass of water in his hand.

"Ah, no, nothing." Lin Qingrou smiled, then took the cup of water that Ye Qingming handed to him and took a big gulp.

Seeing that, Ye Qingming helped her to lie down in her bedroom. After asking her about her recent condition, he said worriedly, "The weather has gradually turned cold recently, if you don't feel uncomfortable, don't be in such a hurry to remove the plaster. It would be better to keep it for a while longer."

Lin Qingrou said subconsciously, "You want me to drink the northwest wind because I can't work?"

"It's not like I don't earn money. You don't have to work so hard." Ye Qingming said.

Lin Qingrou stared in shock.

"What? Stop messing around." She glanced at Ye Qingming and could only force a smile.

Ye Qingming didn't know what to say, so he could only say to her one by one, "First, I didn't go back on my word or didn't want to get married. Instead, I went back home to settle some issues …" The matter of Xing Ruonan. Second, we'll still get married, just until you've recovered from your injuries. Third, no matter what happens in the future, you can't go alone to see Quan Wei or Big Sis.

Lin Qingrou listened dumbly, her heart warming up. She agreed with the first two, but she was still puzzled by the third.

"Don't think too much into it. I just don't want you to get more troubled for no reason. After all, I've been a close relative of mine since I was young. I know it better than you do."

Lin Qingrou looked at him and asked teasingly, "You can't have fallen for me, right?"

Ye Qingming suddenly froze. He looked at Lin Qingrou, not expecting her to ask such a question.

Lin Qingrou could not hold in her laughter, "Don't look at me like that, I know you won't. Don't just stand there. You scared me to death."

Ye Qingming regained his senses and coughed awkwardly. He took a sip of water from the cup beside Lin Qingrou's bed and nodded, "I'll be leaving first. I'll come see you another day. If there's nothing else, I'll just lie on the bed and rest more."

Lin Qingrou looked at him. She wanted to get off the bed to send him off, but was pulled back onto the bed by Ye Qingming. "I'm fine." "No," she said.

Ye Qingming shrugged, "I don't want my bride to be involved in a marriage."

Lin Man was speechless. She waited for Ye Qingming to leave and realized that she was already covered in cold sweat. Her hands and feet were cold.

From the time she had seen Quan Wei until now, this whole matter had completely exceeded her expectations. It seemed that at the same time, it had also completely surpassed her expectations. Neither of them had expected Ye Qingming to have such a special feelings for Lin Manrou. It was so special that they could marry even if they did not have any emotional foundation. No one could understand why that was so. However, Ye Qingming didn't have a special feelings for Lin Qingrou. Rather, it would be more accurate to say that his feelings for Xing Ruonan had already reached a bottomless pit. However, whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, no one could say for sure. For instance, when Ye Qingming had appeared, he had acted so strangely. Was it because he didn't care?

Lin Qingrou picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on the paper. "The bank doesn't know how to transfer money, how and how Xing Ruonan disappeared, and whether Ye Qingming has really forgotten about Xing Ruonan."

The tip of her pen was suspended in the air. Finally, she heavily tapped the three words "Ye Qingming." Her heart could not help but gradually become chaotic.

She lay on the bed and thought dejectedly, "Ye Qingming, how can you see your own heart?" Who exactly is the balance in your heart thinking about?

Perhaps, it was time for him to do something.
