Chapter 369: She Had a Showdown With Him

Translator: 549690339

Qiao Ran kept telling herself to calm down. Han Ruoruo was only telling her this to sow discord between her and Qin Fang.

If she believed him, she would fall into Han Ruoruo’s trap.

Qiao Ran took a deep breath and tried her best not to show her inner emotions in front of Han Ruoruo. She said calmly and coldly,” I know very well whether he’s sincere to me. You don’t have to go to great lengths to sow discord!”

Han Ruoruo smiled slightly.” If you don’t believe me, you can look at his wallet when he’s not paying attention!”

Han Ruoruo knew that her words had already planted a bomb in Qiao Ran’s heart. She could not remain indifferent!

After Han Ruoruo left, Qiao Ran stood on the beach for a long time.

It was not until Qin Fang called her that she walked towards the cruise ship.

Qiao Ran’s heart was in a mess for the entire night. She sat in the corner and watched Qin Fang, who was fooling around and joking with everyone. Her heart felt as if it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn’t breathe.

After blowing out the candles, Qin Fang was smeared with cake by Ming Kai and Shen Boyu. He smiled and retorted.

Someone pushed Qin Fang, and his tall body fell onto Qiao Ran. The cake in his hand also smeared all over Qiao Ran’s face.

Looking at Qiao Ran, who had turned into a little kitten, Qin Fang laughed out loud. He held the back of her head and sucked the cake off her face bit by bit.

Qiao Ran was pressed into his arms and kissed. She wanted to struggle but had no strength.

It was not until he had kissed all the cake on her face that he realized that her eyes were a little red.” Baby, what’s wrong?”

He lowered his voice, slightly hoarse and magnetic. Every time Qiao Ran heard him call her that, her heart would melt.

However, at this moment, there was nothing but bitterness in her heart. There was no sweetness or ripples at all.

Qiao Ran shook her head.” I’m fine. I’m just a little sleepy.””

“You threw a tantrum with me yesterday. Without me by your side, did you not sleep well?”

“Don’t be narcissistic.”

Qin Fang laughed and lowered his head to kiss her hard.” Go back before midnight. If you’re sleepy, take a nap on the sofa.””

“Alright.”

Qiao Ran didn’t know how she fell asleep in such a noisy environment.

When she woke up in a daze, she was already lying in Qin Fang’s arms.

He supported his head with his hand. When he saw that she was awake, he immediately turned over and pressed her down.” You’re awake?”

Qiao Ran blinked her sleepy eyes and looked out the window. It was already very late at night.

“What time is it?”

“Two in the morning.” Qin Fang lowered his head and kissed her eyes. He leaned into her ear and whispered,” I thought I wouldn’t get your present.””

Qiao Ran frowned.” Didn’t I give it to you?”

“Compared to sneakers, I prefer you to give yourself to me.”

Before Qiao Ran could say anything, he bit her earlobe and his breathing gradually became heavy.

Qiao Ran was not in the mood. She placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed him hard.

Sensing her resistance, Qin Fang looked up at her.” What’s wrong?”

“I’m a little tired, I don’t want to-”

Qin Fang frowned when he saw her reluctance.” Are you still throwing a tantrum at me?”

“I’m not throwing a tantrum. I really don’t want to. Qin Fang, you can’t force me every time.”

Hearing her words, Qin Fang was a little annoyed. He got up from her and sat against the headboard. He said coldly,” Am I the one who forces you every time? You’re not fast. Survive?”

Qiao Ran’s face turned red. She was embarrassed and angry.” I don’t want to argue with you.”

Qin Fang stared at Qiao Ran for a few seconds and didn’t say anything else. He got up and went to the balcony to smoke a cigarette. When he returned to the bed, he lay on his side.

Both of them had their backs to each other, and neither of them spoke.

The air was filled with a deathly stillness.

Qiao Ran had been sleeping earlier, so she was very clear-headed now.

After an unknown amount of time, she turned her head slightly and looked at Qin Fang who was sleeping by the bed. She said softly,” Before we went to the cruise, I met Han Ruoruo. She said that you had a photo of a girl in your wallet and that I was just a substitute you found for you. Qin Fang, am I?”

Qiao Ran seemed to have used up all her strength to ask these questions.

She clutched the blanket tightly with both hands, her long eyelashes trembling.

His heart was beating like a war drum.

At this moment, she was like a prisoner waiting for the judge’s verdict.

A single sentence from him could send her to heaven and also send her to hell!

The process of waiting for his answer, every minute, every second, was like pressing the pause button. It was extremely long and torturous!

After an unknown period of time, Qiao Ran’s palms, which were clutching the blanket, were covered in sweat. Qin Fang still didn’t reply.

Qiao Ran sat up on the bed and looked at Qin Fang.

Under the moonlight, Qiao Ran saw that Qin Fang had fallen asleep.

His cold and hard outline was hidden in the dim light. He slept peacefully and his breathing was even. He was not affected by the emotions of the two of them after their fight.

Qiao Ran bit her lip hard, and her heart sank.

She wrapped her arms around her slender body and suddenly felt extremely cold.

Every time the two of them argued, she would toss and turn, unable to fall asleep. However, he was heartless and could still sleep soundly. If he found out that she was still angry the next day, he would be thick-skinned and coax her.

Qiao Ran stared at him for a long time, but in the end, she did not wake him up.

She glanced at the stool at the end of the bed. His clothes were on it.

She got off the bed and walked over.

She knew that it was wrong of her to go through his things.

But she couldn’t control herself.

She found the wallet in his pocket and held it in her palm, her fingers trembling slightly.

She knew that she was looking for trouble.

Whether she did or did not, if he knew that she had gone through his things, their relationship would crack.

But if she didn’t look at it, she would feel even more uncomfortable and tormented!

Qiao Ran took a deep breath, opened her wallet, and rummaged through it.

He kept a lot of cards, such as savings cards, credit cards, and club membership cards.

Qiao Ran searched for a while and found a photo in the innermost layer.

The girl should be even smaller than her. She had black hair that reached her waist and a small face that was fair and clean. Her almond-like eyes were like black grapes soaked in water, clean and pure.

The girl was not as delicate as Ruan Ruan, but she looked very sweet and soft.

Qiao Ran’s grip on the photo tightened, and her knuckles turned white.

Her mind was blank.

The tip of her nose was sour, and the tears swirling in her eyes seemed to be about to fall at any moment.

After some time, Qiao Ran put the photo back into his wallet.

She did not want to stay here any longer.

She wanted to go back to school.

Qiao Ran started to pack her luggage.

After putting it away, she walked towards the door.

Qin Fang suddenly woke up. He sat up and looked at the door.” It’s so late. Where are you going?”

As Qin Fang spoke, he turned on the bedside lamp.

Seeing Qiao Ran carrying her suitcase, he sat up abruptly.” What’s wrong with you?”

Qin Fang strode over and snatched the suitcase from Qiao Ran before she could open the door.

“I’m not angry yet. Why are you angry?”Qin Fang’s sleepiness was instantly awakened. He frowned and glared at Qiao Ran.” I didn’t force you, did I?”

Qiao Ran pursed her lips tightly and tried to snatch the suitcase from him. However, he put it behind him and pushed Qiao Ran against the door frame with his tall body.

The difference in height made her look especially petite in front of him. He put his hands on her waist and looked down at her.” It’s my birthday, and you’ve been messing with me for two days.”

Qiao Ran lowered her head and looked at him.”Qin Fang, I suddenly feel that we are not suitable for each other…”

Qin Fang raised his eyebrows and tightened his grip on her waist. He lifted her chin with his other hand and approached her with his cold and handsome face.” How is it inappropriate?””

“I feel tired when I’m with you.”

Qin Fang stared at her for a few seconds and suddenly chuckled.” Tired means that I’m capable. You should feel lucky.””

Qiao Ran took a while to realize what he meant.

The two of them did not answer the question.

Qiao Ran glared at him without saying a word.

Qin Fang smiled shamelessly.” If you’re tired, I’ll try my best to accommodate you in the future.””

Qiao Ran closed her eyes and opened them again. Her almond-shaped eyes were covered with a layer of mist.” I’m not talking about that aspect! Actually, there are many problems between us. Don’t you think so?”

Qin Fang looked at Qiao Ran thoughtfully.” What’s wrong with you? Why are you so sentimental tonight?” How could there not be conflicts between young couples? Couldn’t they just resolve them?”

Qiao Ran knew that Qin Fang’s words were reasonable. Usually, she was not an unreasonable person. Perhaps the many things that had happened tonight had triggered her fragile nerves and made her suddenly feel like breaking up with him.

She knew that some things had to be made clear.

“I met Han Ruoruo at night. She said that you hid a girl’s photo in your wallet and that you were with me because I was that type. Qin Fang, tell me, do you also only see me as a substitute?”

Upon hearing Qiao Ran’s words, Qin Fang’s tall body stiffened slightly.

His cold and hard face suddenly turned a few degrees colder.

He frowned and said unhappily,” You went through my wallet?”

Qiao Ran looked at his tensed up face, which looked sharp and cold, and her heart skipped a beat. She clenched her fists and said,” It’s my fault for going through your wallet, but the main point is the photo. Qin Fang, answer me!””

In this relationship, she liked him more. She knew that she was not at an advantage from the beginning.

She had developed too quickly with him and had given him her most precious thing without getting to know him well!

Now that she had come to this point, she felt that she had brought this upon herself!

She liked him to the bone, but she didn’t want to be with him without dignity. If she was just a substitute for him, she wouldn’t be his substitute.

Qin Fang saw the determination in Qiao Ran’s eyes and his expression turned ugly.” Yes, the girl in the photo in my wallet is a very important person in my life.”

When Qiao Ran heard this, she felt as if all her strength had been sucked away by a huge syringe.
