Living With a Temperamental Adonis: 99 Proclamations of Love

They stopped at a red light, and Qin Yinan did not realize he had lost himself once more staring at Cheng Qingchong. It was not until the cars behind them started to collectively honk that he recovered and moved on.

When they were about 200 meters away from Four Seasons, Qin Yinan’s phone rang. Since he thought it was another call from Chen Yang, he did not hurry to answer it. It was not until he stopped the car by the roadside that he picked up the phone slowly. When he saw the caller ID, his expression softened tremendously. He answered and called out caringly, “Song Song.”

The expression of Cheng Qingchong, who was not asleep at all, froze when she heard these two words. She titled her head slightly to the side and opened her eyes to look out the window.

“No, I swear I didn’t hide the thing from you on purpose. I simply wanted to resolve it on my own. And see, haven’t I done exactly that? I’ve obtained the contract from Golden Wings…

“…Fine, fine. Song Song, don’t be angry, I know you’re worried about me…”

Old habits die hard. When Song Qingchun was unhappy, Qin Yinan’s first reaction was to console her. As she looked out the window, Cheng Qingchong’s lips tensed slightly when the man’s gentle as water tone drifted into her ears.

Song Qingchun is probably calling because she heard about the crisis at Qin Yinan’s company.

Before she went to beg Jin Ze, Cheng Qingchong did consider the fact that Qin Yinan still had Song Qingchun, the unrelated sister that was even closer than blood siblings, and by talking to Song Qingchun, he could easily gain the aid of her Big Boss.

However, she knew better than anyone else that Qin Yinan would not go to Song Qingchun. Men everywhere in the world were the same; when they were down on their luck, they would insist on relying on themselves to overcome it. A man’s foolish pride prevented themselves from asking help from the girl they once loved no matter how difficult the situation they were in.

Even though the sacrifice she had made was huge, in a way, she felt a perverse pride that the person who managed to help Qin Yinan in his time of need was her, Cheng Qingchong, and not Song Qingchun, who grew up together with him.

Sometimes, one just had to settle for second best. If one could not be with the one they loved, doing everything one could for them was a happy thing as well.

No matter how big the hurt behind that happiness was.

Because, as long as he’s happy, everything’s fine, right?

At least now he…

Cheng Qingchong glanced at Qin Yinan through the rear-view mirror. Qin Yinan and Song Qingchun had changed topic; they were now talking about Little Sesame…

She noticed that the depression and agitation that had been written on his face when the crisis struck two days ago had completely disappeared.

He did not know she was helping him behind his back, and he believed it was his proposal that moved Jin Ze. It was because of that success that he was radiating with confidence…

Yes, as long as he’s happy, everything’s fine…

Cheng Qingchong lowered her head. When Qin Yinan hung up his phone, she pointed at the roadside and said, “We’re here.”

Qin Yinan stepped on the brake. Just as the car halted to a stop, Cheng Qingchong jumped out of the car immediately, as if she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to if she stayed any longer.

Cheng Qingchong stood by the roadside and flashed a bright smile at Qin Yinan. “Thank you for your help for the past few days.”

Initially, he was hesitant to lend his aid, but now that it was over, he felt weirdly unwilling to have it end.

Qin Yinan pressed his lips and nodded slightly with a sprinkling of agitation. “Hmm.”
