Cheng Qingchong's fingers shook, and she quickly averted her gaze.
Qin Yinan stood beside her and didn't leave.
She didn't dare sneak a peek at him because she couldn't tell whether his gaze was still on her or on his phone.
The room was quiet, and the atmosphere was awkward.
Cheng Qingchong started to fidget. Just as she was about to give in, she suddenly remembered something. She raised her head to look at Qin Yinan and said softly, "Er …"
He didn't respond to her question at all. His eyes were lowered as he focused on the phone screen.
"… Tomorrow, I'm going to the hot spring with my mother, and I won't be back for the next two nights …"
Cheng Qingchong's voice was exceptionally loud in the quiet room.
Her original plan was to accompany her mother to Summer Palace, but when she went to deliver the fruit platter to him that night, she overheard him saying that he was postponing his work, so she decided to go to the hot spring with her mother so that he wouldn't be late for work.
"… So, you can focus on your own work and don't worry about us …" She didn't know whether Qin Yinan was listening to her or not, so she stopped awkwardly. She bit on her lower lip before continuing. "My mother has booked a plane ticket for next Wednesday. She'll be staying in the countryside for two days, and when she gets back, she'll only have three days left …"
Qin Yinan's eyes that stared at the phone screen started to freeze.
His lips tensed involuntarily, and the conversation between her and her mother that he had overheard when he was standing at the door to the guest bedroom appeared in his mind.
At the time, he had thought she was putting on an act to make her mother think he was being nice to her, and he had even mocked her internally for her hypocrisy. After all, they were already divorced. She might be able to hide it for now, but she couldn't hide it forever. The happier she made her mother now, the sadder she would make her mother in the future …
Now he realized he had made a mistake. She wasn't putting on an act for her mother; she was doing it so that she wouldn't disturb him.
She sure is considerate of me …
Qin Yinan was indeed very busy. To keep Mrs. Cheng company, he had to squeeze out even the time for a drink of water, much less rest.
Therefore, he should be happy that she was being so considerate of him … but for some reason, his heart felt strangely suffocated.
"… I'll think of a way to convince my mother. When she leaves on the last day, just send her off …"
Hearing Cheng Qingchong's well-mannered words, Qin Yinan's heart felt even more stifled.
"At other times, you can go about your own business. You don't have to worry about me and my mother …"
"Do you think I want to care?" Qin Yinan suddenly put away his phone and glared coldly at Cheng Qingchong. "Don't forget, it was you who came to my company to beg me, and I'm merely fulfilling my promise!"
Cheng Qingchong was silenced by his scolding, and her eyes that stared at him blankly became vacant.
She was clearly thinking for his sake, but he still treated her with such a fierce attitude. Was everything she did wrong?
Cheng Qingchong's eyes started to sting. Just as the mist was about to turn into tears, Cheng Qingchong quickly lowered her eyes. Just as she was about to turn her head away, the man suddenly reached out to grab her wrist and pulled her up from the sofa.
