Living With a Temperamental Adonis: 99 Proclamations of Love

Even though Cheng Qingchong didn’t elaborate, Qin Yinan understood what she meant. He chuckled mirthlessly before saying, “Don’t thank me. After all, this is no skin off my back, right? You should be worried about your mother; the happier she is now, the greater the despair she will feel when she finds out about the truth. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. You should know how that feels…”

You should know how that feel… She did understand what he meant; it was he who gave her hope as high as the sky before slamming her cruelly down into the abyss of disappointment. The color of blood slowly drained from Cheng Qingchong’s face. She didn’t speak, but a bouquet of bitterness started to bloom in her heart.

The room became quiet. After some time, Cheng Qingchong raised her head to look at Qin Yinan. Pretending he hadn’t just said those hurtful things, she told him nicely, “I’m sorry for taking so much of your time today. Tomorrow, I’ll bring my mother to go shopping. We will not disturb you anymore.”

Qin Yinan scoffed coldly, and his expression filled with condescension. “Don’t you worr—I’ll be very busy tomorrow. Even if you drag me to accompany your mother, I wouldn’t be able to!”

She said those things mainly because she didn’t want to make him unhappy, but in the end, it backfired… He must hate me a lot to be able to find fault with everything I say, everything I do…

Cheng Qingchong’s nail pinched the ball of her palms, and her tone was no longer as calm as before. “Also, the money for tonight’s dinner, I’ve already sent it to your account.”

Qin Yinan frowned and walked toward the bed without saying anything. He pulled off the cover and lay in it. Cheng Qingchong stood beside the sofa for some time before raising her eyes to look at the king-sized bed. She contemplated it for a while before moving toward it.

Qin Yinan didn’t even glance at the woman who was approaching him. He sought out his phone and logged into his bank account. There was indeed a transfer from Cheng Qingchong.

The woman has not only given me the dinner money but also the airport parking fee and toll money…

An indescribable fury surged through the man’s veins. Qin Yinan tossed his phone aside, and it just so happen to land on the side of the bed that was unoccupied.

Cheng Qingchong shrunk back from his sudden aggression. After some time, she moved back to the sofa and said, “I’ll… sleep on the sofa.”

Qin Yinan chuckled to himself and ignored Cheng Qingchong. He turned in bed to show her his back.

Cheng Qingchong took two careful steps forward to grab a pillow and softly bade him good night before turning around hugging the pillow.

Before Cheng Qingchong could turn to leave, Qin Yinan sat up in bed. His action was so sudden that even the bed shook. Cheng Qingchong’s body shivered from his sudden action. She instinctively took a step away from the bed. She glanced at the man out of the corner of her eye. She saw the man’s tightened jaw as Qin Yinan jumped toward her to grab her wrist and pull her into bed without warning.
