Although she treated him like a brother, she understood the difference between n and won and wasn’t ignorant of that fact.
Just as she was about to turn around, she was abruptly pulled by a forceful hand, lost her balance, and heavily fell onto the bed, on top of the man.
Before she could get up, she felt a sudden pain on her lips, and Qin Huaixin’s eyes widened in shock!
Staring at the handso face that filled her vision, only one thought flashed through Qin Huaixin’s mind: Damn! There goes the first kiss I’ve saved for twenty-four years!
How suffocating!
Qin Huaixin felt so annoyed – he wasn’t her man, so why was he kissing her!
She pushed herself up with all her might, trying to stand, but Leng Yixing, for so reason, suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist, imprisoning her even tighter in his embrace.
Qin Huaixin’s face darkened further, yet he held her close without letting go.
When she finally regained her freedom, Qin Huaixin imdiately shouted, "Leng Yixing, open your eyes and look, it’s , Qin Huaixin!"
In his dazed state, Leng Yixing paused upon hearing her words, and just as Qin Huaixin felt a glimr of hope, she heard him say: "Then there’s no mistake."
No mistake?
No mistake?!
Damn it!
"Let go of , ah ah ah ah~"
As the world spun around her, Qin Huaixin found herself and Leng Yixing switching positions. His actions sent a shudder through her, and she could feel what was going to happen next.
She felt so unwilling – the man she’d always seen as just a brother might have these kinds of thoughts about her, and it was hard for her to accept.
Biting her lip, her mind was still wrestling with the struggle.
Tomorrow she would be together with Lu Xiao, she knew it. Her dad’s company must have run into so problem, which is why he was so eager for her to be with him.
She didn’t like Lu Xiao one bit; just by looking at him, you could tell he was a flirt.
Then it occurred to her that if she were with him, she would inevitably be treated the sa way. Since he wasn’t being faithful, why should she keep her purity for him, right?
With this thought, Qin Huaixin finally let go of the idea of resistance and was about to look for sothing necessary in the hotel room when her body suddenly stiffened.
She: "..."
Glancing up, she saw the man gazing at her deeply, his exquisite face almost blinding her. She’d always known that Leng Yixing was handso, but she never realized he could be this breathtaking. At that mont, she felt like she had struck gold.
Feeling her gaze, Leng Yixing’s mood could be described as ecstatic.
Not only had she ceased resisting just now, but now she was also looking at him with such eyes.
This was the first woman he had ever taken a liking to at first sight...
His gaze on her grew even more tender, and he softly said, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."
Qin Huaixin admitted that she was moved in that mont, but she clearly knew that it wasn’t the kind of feeling Leng Yixing had for her.

Lu Jinyang returned ho, surprised to find the living room light was on. Pleased, he thought to himself that his care for this woman hadn’t been wasted.
Loosening his collar and casually removing his overcoat in the living room, he opened his bedroom door only to freeze, calling out with difficulty, "Mom, what are you doing here?"
In the room, Ye Han and Zhuang Shuqing were sitting cross-legged opposite each other, with smiles still lingering on their faces from whatever they had just been discussing.
When Ye Han saw Lu Jinyang return, she frowned and scolded him, "It’s so cold, why aren’t you wearing your clothes? Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?" Turning her head, she smiled at Zhuang Shuqing, "Where did we leave off just now?"
Zhuang Shuqing’s eyes crinkled with a smile, "Auntie, you were just telling us about when he entered junior high."
Ye Han slapped her forehead, "Look at my mory. Yes, about his junior high... No, wait, Shuqing, why are you calling auntie again? You should call mom!"
Zhuang Shuqing just smiled without responding, turning her gaze to Lu Jinyang, "Did you handle things so quickly?"
Lu Jinyang’s face darkened instantly, he humd indifferently and turned to leave.
He hadn’t actually dealt with the matter at hand because he rushed back ho, never expecting his own mother to interfere.
Putting his shirt back on in the living room, Lu Jinyang had well concealed his discontent in his eyes.
He walked back into the room and addressed the two won who were joyfully discussing his childhood, "It’s late, Mom, let take you ho."
"Go ho? Oh, I forgot to tell you that I had a quarrel with your dad and I don’t plan on going ho tonight."
Lu Jinyang rubbed his temples, "Have you booked a hotel?"
As soon as Ye Han heard this, she bristled, "You brat, can’t I stay a night at your place without you making a fuss?"
"If you’re sleeping here, where am I supposed to sleep?"
"Isn’t there a sofa over there?"
Lu Jinyang glanced at the sofa that was shorter than his legs, incredulously looked at his own mother, then compromised, "You guys go to bed early."
Before long, the sound of a door closing ca from the living room. Zhuang Shuqing was slightly surprised in her heart. She thought Lu Jinyang would insist, but he gave up so quickly.
"This stinky boy, the older he gets, the less he listens to his mom. Shuqing, you have to keep an eye on him from now on. If you can’t, go back and tell your dad to sort out this stinky boy."
Zhuang Shuqing’s eyes curved with a smile, and her heart ward. So this was what having a family felt like.
"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to keep an eye on him."
...
Lying in the presidential suite of Seaview Bay, Lu Jinyang flatly felt regret was such an apt word.
This was the very room where he and Zhuang Shuqing ended up due to a mix-up.
He tossed and turned, trying various positions. The details of that night played even more clearly in his mind. In the end, he sat up and after a mont of silence, headed towards the bathroom~
Probably only his own mother would be so clueless to co over and fight with her son over his wife in the middle of the night.
After countless cold showers, it wasn’t until the late hours that Lu Jinyang finally cald his thoughts and fell into a deep sleep.
This night, so people were anxious, others joyful.
Qin Huaixin lifted her damp eyes, tightly clutching the corner of the blanket, curled up by the edge of the bed.
Leng Yixing’s face was still covered with un-dried sweat. He lay in the center of the bed, one hand behind his head, his face turned towards her.
Under the dim light, it wasn’t hard to notice the smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Co here," he said.
Qin Huaixin instinctively shrank back and shook her head vigorously.
The next mont, a strong hand reached out. She didn’t know how he did it, but by the ti Qin Huaixin realized, she had already rolled into his arms.
She struggled a bit and found he was holding her tight. She could feel... a sense of security.
"Are you okay?"
Qin Huaixin leaned against his chest and gently shook her head, "..."
"I’m sorry," he said, "but even if I had to do it all over again, I would still do the sa."
Qin Huaixin silently gave him a punch, saying nothing.
"Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for you."
After he finished speaking, Qin Huaixin suddenly pushed him with force, yet it didn’t move him an inch. He frowned, looking down at her, "What’s wrong?"
"Leng Yixing, after dawn I’ll be soone else’s girlfriend, maybe even soone’s fiancée. We... we can’t have a future."
...
When Qin Huaixin left, Leng Yixing didn’t hold her back. His mind kept echoing her last sentence, the one about them having no future.
He picked up the mobile phone placed on the bedside table and dialed a number.
Once the call connected, he heard a voice crying tears of joy from the other side, "Young master, is it really you, young master? Are you coming back?"
Leng Yixing’s eyes flickered, swiftly hiding his emotions, "Give the phone to my dad..."
...
Lu Jinyang got up early and bought a few breakfasts to bring back to Jinxiu Garden.
Ye Han and Zhuang Shuqing were about to leave the house. Seeing him carrying breakfast back, Ye Han couldn’t stop praising, "I never thought the day would co when my son would actually buy breakfast. I have to call right now and boast to that old man."
With that said, Ye Han took a bag of breakfast and walked to the balcony, carefully closing the balcony door behind her.
Zhuang Shuqing looked amused as she watched Ye Han, then said to Lu Jinyang: "Lu Jinyang, your mom is really cute."
"That’s my dad’s problem."
Zhuang Shuqing cleared her throat twice, rembering how Ye Han and she had hogged his bed last night. She asked, "Where did you sleep last night?"
Lu Jinyang’s expression darkened—why did she have to bring that up!
Perhaps thinking of sothing, Zhuang Shuqing’s face also turned an unnatural shade of red. She awkwardly turned her face away, taking bites of the at bun. However, she heard his voice leisurely coming from behind her, "My mom won’t stay here forever, so you should always be ready..."
Before he could finish, Lu Jinyang was interrupted by Ye Han’s voice, "You stinky boy, you’re just like your father. Humph, if he doesn’t co and coax back, I will live here for the rest of my life. All they know is to run to the company, to have etings—do they think those shares are more important than their wife!"
