Chapter 213 Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
"Come here and blow it for me."
Yu Yuetong was stunned, then pointed to her own nose: "Me?"
Qin Reng nodded: "What? You don't want to?"
Yu Yuetong quickly shook her head, got up, walked behind him, and took the hair dryer.
Amidst the buzzing noise, Yu Yuetong carefully controlled the direction of the hair dryer, afraid of burning him.
Qin Reng closed his eyes, enjoying the gentle touch behind him.
"You could have used a little more force," he said casually.
Yu Yuetong increased the pressure, but in her heart she was thinking: "A grown man with such soft hair, he looks like a girl."
After drying his hair, Qin Reng lay down on the bed and patted the spot next to him. "Go to sleep."
Yu Yuetong hesitated for a moment, then lifted the blanket and lay down next to him.
The two were about a fist's width apart, and they could feel each other's breath.
Yu Yuetong tensed up, not daring to move at all.
"Don't be nervous," Qin Reng said with a hint of amusement. "I'm not going to eat you."
Yu Yuetong rolled her eyes and thought to herself: You're more like someone who would eat people alive.
"Um..." Yu Yuetong began, "Should we go to work tomorrow?"
Qin Reng opened his eyes and looked at her. "Do you want to go?"
Yu Yuetong nodded: "I want to go. I feel like I should do something, otherwise..."
She paused, then didn't continue.
"Otherwise what?" Qin Reng pressed.
Yu Yuetong pursed her lips and said softly, "Otherwise it would be like... neglecting one's duties."
Qin Reng chuckled and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Don't worry, I'll handle things at the company, nothing will go wrong. Besides, given our current situation, going to the company will only attract more attention."
Yu Yuetong thought about it and realized it made sense, so she stopped insisting.
"Go to sleep." Qin Reng closed his eyes. "We have things to do tomorrow."
Yu Yuetong closed her eyes, but couldn't fall asleep. There was a living, breathing person lying next to her, her legal husband—this feeling… was strange.
In the darkness, Qin Reng's voice suddenly rang out: "Yu Yuetong."
Yu Yuetong was startled and quickly opened her eyes. "Wh...what's wrong?"
Are you still thinking about what I told you today?
Yu Yuetong remained silent for a moment, then readily admitted, "Yes."
"Actually..." Qin Reng paused, his tone becoming serious, "I agreed to try to get along with you not because of anything else. I just... don't want to run away anymore."
Yu Yuetong blinked, puzzled. "Escape?"
"Hmm." Qin Reng sighed, "You're running away from my feelings for you."
Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat, and a strange flutter surged through her.
"You..." She was about to ask a question when Qin Reng interrupted her.
"Go to sleep and we'll talk tomorrow."
Yu Yuetong had no choice but to suppress her many questions, close her eyes, and force herself to fall asleep.
In the darkness, Qin Reng opened his eyes and stared intently at the ceiling.
What exactly are his feelings for her?
He had been asking himself this question all along.
At first, he resisted her advances, finding her noisy and annoying, and always doing things that left him both amused and exasperated. However, as time went on, he became increasingly attentive to her every move, and even began to get used to her presence.
Habit is a terrible force.
He realized clearly that he could no longer ignore her presence.
Perhaps he really should try to accept her.
The next morning, when Yu Yuetong woke up, Qin Reng was gone.
There was a glass of warm water and a note on the bedside table.
"I'm going to the office. There's breakfast on the table. There's a lot of work piling up at the office today, so I have to go and take care of it. You stay home and rest well, and don't go out unnecessarily."
After reading the note, Yu Yuetong's lips curled up slightly.
This guy is quite thoughtful.
After breakfast, Yu Yuetong was bored, so she turned on the TV.
Financial news was playing on TV. Qin Reng, dressed in a suit and tie, sat upright in the conference room, exuding a powerful aura with every gesture.
Yu Yuetong looked at Qin Reng on TV with a complicated expression.
Is this the real him?
After the news ended, the phone rang.
Yu Yuetong answered the phone, and a familiar voice came from the other end.
"Hello, Miss Yu, this is Ji Momo."
Yu Yuetong was stunned for a moment, not expecting Ji Momo to take the initiative to contact her.
"Hello, Ms. Ji."
"Would it be convenient for us to meet? I have something I'd like to tell you."
Yu Yuetong hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
……
Half an hour later, in a coffee shop.
Yu Yuetong and Ji Momo sat facing each other.
Ji Momo was dressed in a well-tailored suit, looking both capable and sophisticated.
"Miss Yu, please try this coffee; it's quite good," Ji Momo politely invited.
Yu Yuetong picked up her coffee, took a small sip, and a rich aroma spread in her mouth.
"The taste is indeed excellent," Yu Yuetong exclaimed. "Miss Ji, is there something you need from me?"
Ji Momo put down her coffee cup and looked directly into Yu Yuetong's eyes. "Ms. Yu, I'd like to know, how much do you know about President Qin?"
Yu Yuetong frowned slightly, not understanding Ji Momo's meaning.
"Which aspect are you referring to, Miss Ji?"
“His past, his family, and…” Ji Momo paused, her tone meaningful, “His attitude towards you.”
Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat, and a feeling of unease welled up inside her.
"Miss Ji, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Ji Momo smiled, took a photo out of her bag, and handed it to Yu Yuetong.
"Look at this."
Yu Yuetong took the photo, which showed a young Qin Reng and a girl.
The girl's smile was radiant, and her eyes were full of love.
Yu Yuetong recognized herself at a glance.
To be precise, it's one's own body.
Her face turned pale instantly.
"what is this?"
“This photo is from five years ago,” Ji Momo explained. “Back then, President Qin hadn’t married you yet.”
Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm.
"So? What do you want to express?"
Ji Momo picked up her coffee, took a slow sip, and then said gently, "Ms. Yu, I know that something strange has happened between you and President Qin. However, some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface."
Yu Yuetong clutched the photo tightly in her hand, her nails almost digging into her flesh.
"Miss Ji, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Ji Momo put down her coffee cup, her eyes sharply fixed on Yu Yuetong. "Ms. Yu, I hope you can stay away from President Qin. There is no future for you and President Qin."
Yu Yuetong stared at the face in the photo that looked exactly like her own, her thoughts churning. Five years ago? Back then, she had just graduated, renting a basement apartment, struggling to make ends meet every day. How could she have had the chance to meet someone like Qin Reng, let alone date him?
