Are you asleep?
The ssage from Yan Mingyu was brief, fitting her decisive personality.
"No."
Qin Yu felt sowhat happy; this was the first ti Yan Mingyu had initiated contact with him since their divorce.
Imdiately feeling that a one-word response was too cold, he added: You're still awake at this late hour?
Mm, sothing happened today, and I wanted to talk to soone about it.
Yan Mingyu must have been holding her phone; she replied promptly.
What happened?
Qin Yu asked.
Of course, he was certain it was the incident where she and Liu Xiaoxiao nearly got defiled by Kong Jingtai and his brothers.
As a bodyguard, his role was clear, but as a "husband," he had to pretend to be unaware.
It's nothing much, really. Over the years, I've experienced so many dark things that I've beco sowhat numb to them. If there was soone to shoulder them with , I think it might be easier.
Yan Mingyu did not ntion what had happened that evening at Yu Mountain Hot Spring.
I'm sorry....
Qin Yu understood what Yan Mingyu ant, she was after all a woman; her aloofness and strength were just her outer shell. Deep down, she longed for companionship and protection.
He really wanted to call her right then and tell her that he was her husband.
That he had been with her and protected her every day.
But he dared not gamble whether Yan Mingyu could accept the fact that her bodyguard was actually her husband.
Qin Yu held his phone, feeling very troubled.
He knew very well what Yan Mingyu's personality was like; she was soone who didn't go back on her word and couldn't stand any deceit. Yet he had been by her side every day while concealing his identity. Didn't this count as a kind of deception?
Moreover, after having been together for so long, aside from a relationship between employer and employee, there seed to be no romantic feelings between them.
Woof woof....
While Qin Yu's thoughts were all mixed up, Yan Mingyu sent another ssage, Counting the days, we still have just over twenty days until the date we agreed to et. I hope that this ti you won't run away and will appear before like a man....okay?
Okay?
Qin Yu could imagine that when Yan Mingyu typed those two words, her inner voice was gentle.
But they struck him like thunder and lightning, deeply piercing his soul.
He couldn't help but search his heart and ask himself, Was he truly ready to et Yan Mingyu and reveal his identity?
Are you going to answer....
Perhaps Qin Yu's silence had made Yan Mingyu noticeably angry: How long are you planning to avoid this?
I....
Qin Yu held the phone, struggling to find the words to express his emotions.
Firstly, I am not obsessed with looks, I don't care about your appearance. Secondly, I don't care whether you have money or not, I have enough of my own. As long as you are a good person and faithful in marriage, we can spend a lifeti together!
I hope that was clear enough for you. What exactly are you worried about?
Yan Mingyu's ssage ca through again.
Faithful in marriage?
Ha, in this aspect, her requirents for a partner were surprisingly the sa as his.
Qin Yu smiled wryly and eventually replied: Fine, I will definitely appear before you in twenty days. If by then, you are still willing to be my wife, I will be with you and protect you for a lifeti!
Are you sure?
Positive!
After they made the promise, Yan Mingyu seed to be in a much better mood and asked: What gift do you like? You sent flowers on May 20th, and I haven't given you anything in return yet.
Your picture, I guess; I want to see you.
Qin Yu thought for a mont before responding.
Although he had a photo of Yan Mingyu on his phone, that picture was "taken secretly," and she was his boss in it, not his "wife."
Then....wait a mont.
Yan Mingyu agreed to it.
Okay.
Qin Yu patiently waited for over ten minutes before he received a multidia ssage from Yan Mingyu.
Upon opening it, she was dressed in a long black gown, elegantly leaning on the balcony of a villa, looking towards the direction of the phone cara.
```
It must have been a selfie taken with a tir set on the phone.
She appeared different from the lofty, ticulous businesswoman Qin Yu was accustod to seeing.
In this photo, sothing tender seed to have crept into Yan Mingyu's features.
There was also a sparkling luster in her starry eyes.
Because this was a photo a wife took for her husband!
Qin Yu stared at the photo for a long ti, his eyes growing a bit moist, blinked away the dampness, then replied, "You look beautiful...."
Beauty will fade with ti, but true emotions are everlasting!
Yan Mingyu certainly didn't want her "husband" to be fond of just her beautiful appearance.
We're together now, I'll accompany you as we age slowly!
Qin Yu wasn't one for sweet nothings; he could only use the most straightforward words to express his feelings.
At the sa ti, he thought about sothing: when they got their marriage certificate, Yan Mingyu had deliberately "uglied" herself up, yet now she was capturing her true beauty.
What did that indicate? Find exclusive stories on empire
It showed that she had wholeheartedly accepted the fact that she was the wife to the man listed on the marriage certificate.
This realization made Qin Yu a bit anxious. Yan Mingyu was being so open and honest, whereas he was still "deceiving" her.
I trust you, get so rest soon!
Good night!
After sending his last ssage, Qin Yu felt a profound sense of happiness welling up within him. How did he, of all people, deserve a wife like Yan Mingyu, who was not only beautiful but also had a great character?
After putting down his phone, still unable to fully set aside his concern for Liu Xiaoxiao alone in the villa, he bid his father good night and left the hospital.
By the ti he arrived at the villa, the lights on the second floor were already off.
Guessing that Liu Xiaoxiao must have gone to sleep, Qin Yu took a shower and then headed to bed, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
The next day.
When Qin Yu woke up, he faintly slled sothing burning.
What the fuck?
A fire?
Qin Yu jolted out of bed and ran out of the room, only to see the kitchen filled with dark smoke. He hurried in and saw Liu Xiaoxiao frantically trying to smother the flas leaping from a pan with a lid.
But the fire was too fierce, and she failed to snuff it out after several attempts.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
Qin Yu quickly went over, took the lid from her hands, and with a clang, placed it on the flaming pan.
"I wanted to make you breakfast...."
Liu Xiaoxiao's pale, soft face was also blackened by smoke, which made her look a bit comical.
"Uh... you go out then; I'll take care of it!"
Qin Yu was sowhat bemused.
"Okay, then I'll go change!"
Liu Xiaoxiao obediently left the kitchen.
Has she taken the wrong dicine?
Qin Yu felt Liu Xiaoxiao had changed, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what specifically was different.
After the flas in the pan had died down, he washed the pan, added oil, and made two bowls of fragrant egg noodles.
By then, Liu Xiaoxiao had changed clothes as well.
She wore a long-sleeved T-shirt and loose casual pants that concealed her sexy figure completely.
Seeing Qin Yu looking at her, she timidly said, "From now on, I'll only show it to you."
"What?"
As a typical straight man, Qin Yu couldn't quite grasp what Liu Xiaoxiao ant by that.
"Nothing, let's eat!"
Liu Xiaoxiao pouted her mouth.
"By the way, I'll go to Four Seas Corporation in the morning!"
Qin Yu said.
He was going to ask the two computer experts to check on the situation with the woman who looked almost exactly like Yan Mingyu in that post from before.
