Sweet Beauty

Chapter 863: Even If You Don’t Like Me Now, Please Don’t Reject Me

“Hahaha…” Hou Fen felt very happy in her heart. “That’s right. Pay up quickly!”         

    

Shen Xieren gritted her teeth in anger. She felt like tearing Qin Yu’s contented face.     

Qin Yu, however, didn’t care about the hatred in Shen Xieren’s eyes. Even if what had happened today hadn’t happened, Shen Xieren would still hate her.     

“Let’s go.” Qin Yu gave Shen Xieren one last look before walking out of the clothing store with Mo Shan and Hou Fen.     

After leaving the building, Qin Yu took out her cell phone from her bag and saw 12 missed calls from Qin Shanyuan. She called him back.     

“Hey, big broth-”     

“Qin Yu!” Qin Shanyuan’s anxious voice rang out from the receiver. “Shen Xieren is following behind you, did you know that? Once you enter the mall, I won’t be able to follow you because of my mascot uniform.”     

“Big brother, stop panicking.” Qin Yu laughed blandly. “Don’t worry, your sister isn’t that stupid. I’ve already taken care of her.”     

Qin Shanyuan sighed in relief. “How relieved I’m to hear that. I’m just afraid that you don’t know and will be tricked by her.”     

After hanging up, Qin Shanyuan was about to put his phone back in its place when he noticed that Liang Jiaying had changed into her casual clothes.     

“Jiaying!” Qin Shanyuan quickly changed into his casual clothes and ran after her.     

Liang Jiaying didn’t know if she was walking slowly because she was waiting for Qin Shanyuan to catch up with her, or if she was doing it on purpose. She turned around and smiled at him. “Is the matter with Qin Yu settled?”     

“Of course.” Qin Shanyuan was a protective brother and sister-con. He always bragged about Qin Yu to his friends. “My sister is smarter than other people, how could she not know that Shen Xieren is following her? Let me tell you, my sister’s fighting ability is better than mine. When I was a kid, I couldn’t defeat her when I fought her, so dealing with Shen Xieren is a piece of cake for her.”     

This wasn’t an exaggeration. Qin Yu really had the strength of a bull since she was a child. She was cheerful, and carefree and had more male friends than female friends.     

Since childhood, she was the eldest sister in her circle of friends. Whenever she played around with others, she wouldn’t let them bully her. Instead, she was the one who bullied them.     

Looking at Qin Shanyuan’s proud face as he was talking about Qin Yu, Liang Jiaying felt very envious. “The relationship between you and your sister is very good.”     

“Of course!” Qin Shanyuan deliberately took this opportunity to take Liang Jiaying to the parking lot. As he talked with her, she followed him every step of the way.     

“You know, my sister has been disobedient ever since childhood. She was always beaten by my mother and my mother often locked her up. If it wasn’t for me, how could she have survived until now? She would have been suppressed by my mother into a dark place.”     

Liang Jiaying was amused by Qin Shanyuan’s story. Qin Shanyuan’s eyes secretly peeked at Liang Jiaying’s face, wanting to observe the change in her expression as he told about his family. “Nevertheless, my sister has a very good temperament and you can get along well with her. My parents also have a very good character, and our family is a good-natured people. You will get to know them better when you meet them.”     

Seeing that Liang Jiaying’s expression did not change, Qin Shanyuan’s heart finally felt calm. He had been afraid that she would feel uncomfortable after what had happened with his mother yesterday.     

“I know.” Liang Jiaying nodded and glanced at Qin Shanyuan from the corner of her eyes. “Yesterday, your sister said that she wanted to help our family. In truth, we have nothing to do with your family, and although we are related to Liang Zixuan and Liang Jiahao, we cannot call what we have a real relationship. But your family is willing to help us, so we know that they are all good people.”     

What?     

Did his family get a “Good Guy” card when they did nothing?     

What about him?     

Qin Shanyuan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, secretly regretting talking about his family.     

Fortunately, they had arrived at the parking lot. Qin Shanyuan looked for his car keys and opened the passenger door for Liang Jiaying.         

    

Liang Jiaying nodded gratefully and got in.     

Qin Shanyuan closed the door and quickly went around the driver’s seat as fast as he could, fearing Liang Jiaying would swing open the door and run away.     

He put on his seat belt and said, “Actually, we are not such good people…”     

Liang Jiaying immediately looked at him in surprise. “Eh?”     

Qin Shanyuan realized he had said something wrong and quickly explained with a smile. “I didn’t mean it that way. I mean, we’re not people with excessive compassion. Yes, the relationship between your family with my aunt and brother-in-law isn’t very close, but if they sincerely want to help you, there must be a reason for it. And my family… my family wants to help you because…”     

Qin Shanyuan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened and he was so nervous that he almost drove the car to the side of the road. “Jiaying, I-I…”     

Liang Jiaying lowered her head and slowly pursed her lips. She knew what Qin Shanyuan wanted to say to her and she was a little lost at the moment.     

“Jiaying… I…” Qin Shanyuan silently gritted his teeth, suddenly turned to her, and quickly and clearly said, “I really like you!”     

Liang Jiaying’s lips were pressed together tightly, her eyes fixed on her fingers.     

“I don’t want you to accept me now. I just want to ask for your forgiveness. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry for what I said yesterday. Knowing how much I hurt you, I can’t eat or sleep when I come back. I’m sadder than you. Jiaying, can you forgive me? Even if you don’t like me now, please don’t reject me, okay?”     

After saying the words in his heart, Qin Shanyuan immediately felt very relaxed.     

Seeing that Liang Jiaying didn’t speak and only played with her fingers, Qin Shanyuan drew a smile. “You don’t say anything back to retort me, does that mean you forgive me?”     

Liang Jiaying suddenly raised her head to retort, but it was too late. Qin Shanyuan’s thick-skinned face had turned away from her and he was proudly humming a song.     

To be honest, she didn’t want to fight him anymore, and certainly not like this.     

She could see that Qin Shanyuan hadn’t slept last night. She could also see that his steps were a bit shaky today. And when she heard that he didn’t eat anything yesterday, she actually blamed herself.     

“Shanyuan….” Liang Jiaying finally spoke in a soft voice. “Actually, I’m not as good as you think. I’m just an ordinary girl and I’m afraid once you are with me, I will let you down.”
