Married The Crybaby Childhood Crush First, Then Fell in Love - Chapter 21

Lin Wanqing felt dizzy from Yan Qiu’s kiss, the last bit of air stolen from her lungs, her body weakly resting on Yan Qiu’s shoulders.

Lin Wanqing opened her eyes and looked at her, “Stop, let go of me quickly.”

Yan Qiu gently held her in her arms, and Lin Wanqing completely dared not look out the car window.

Lin Wanqing didn’t dare to make a big fuss, lest the driving secretary hear the commotion.

No one had ever approached her so unreasonably, assaulting and claiming her, but Lin Wanqing didn’t dislike this feeling of being disciplined.

Yan Qiu: “My dear little wife, could you help me pick a few outfits? I have a very important event to attend tomorrow.”

Lin Wanqing had no right to refuse.

Yan Qiu took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from her lips, “What’s wrong? Is it so hard to accept?”

Her gentle demeanor was enough to make anyone fall in love.

Lin Wanqing shook her head in agony, “Let go of me, the agreement…”

Yan Qiu: “I advise you to forget about that agreement; it will make your life more comfortable.”

She didn’t understand why Yan Qiu would say that. When she looked at her, Yan Qiu had already closed her eyes.

The car drove slowly, the stereo playing a lingering tune.

Lin Wanqing secretly glanced at the closed-eyed Yan Qiu from the corner of her eye. The gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose made her look like a professor at an academy, strict, rigid, and serious, with a strong scholarly air.

Once those eyes opened, Lin Wanqing would feel a chilling fear of being targeted by a predator.

Yan Qiu’s marks were still on her waist, and there were unremovable purplish-blue marks on her neck.

Lin Wanqing slowly moved her body to the edge of the car door.

Opening her phone, she deleted all the messages from her sister.

…

The car stopped in the mall’s underground parking lot. Lin Wanqing got out and took the wheelchair from the trunk.

Yu Fei: “Miss Lin made President Yan angry?”

Lin Wanqing: “…It seems so?”

Yu Fei: “That’s how President Yan is when she’s angry; she closes her eyes and ignores everyone.”

Lin Wanqing pulled a long face as she unfolded the wheelchair. Yan Qiu made her wait for a minute or two before bracing her body and settling steadily into the wheelchair.

Every month, major luxury brands would send Yan Qiu their latest seasonal clothing. However, she would only pick a few basic pieces, or perhaps none at all, tossing the rest into her walk-in closet.

Whenever she needed to attend a formal occasion, professionals would be there to style her outfits.

This job shouldn’t have been Lin Wanqing’s, but Yan Qiu wanted it this way, and no one could stop her.

In the store, the racks were densely hung with Yan Qiu’s private haute couture pieces, more comprehensive than what Lin Wanqing had seen in class.

Yan Qiu took Lin Wanqing’s cold fingers and placed them against her lips, “Why are you still crying? You’ve really become a little rabbit.”

Lin Wanqing whimpered in her throat and avoided looking at her.

Yan Qiu chuckled softly in her throat, her soft lips touching Lin Wanqing’s finger joints, a tender apology.

“I was rash just now. I apologize, Sweetie.”

Lin Wanqing sniffled and picked out a cloak from a pile of clothes.

“The recent weather is often rainy, and a wool cloak is very suitable. Light colors can make a person look sophisticated, and the human silhouette can also make the body look long and slender.”

Lin Wanqing’s gaze moved back and forth between Yan Qiu and the clothes, her cheeks gradually flushing.

No matter how critical a person was, it would be difficult to find flaws in Yan Qiu’s figure and face; Lin Wanqing loved beauty too much.

Lin Wanqing: “The cloak needs to be paired with a pair of black long gloves. I’ll ask the staff to find some.”

Yan Qiu: “I have them.”

Yu Fei frantically used her eyes to signal: Homework! Surveillance! Stolen!

Lin Wanqing didn’t understand her meaning, “What?”

Yu Fei mouthed: After-class homework!

Lin Wanqing’s eyes widened in shock, and she blurted out, “Shocking! A pure college girl’s personal items were stolen! The truth is chilling!”

Lan Xiaoxiao actually wasn’t joking.

Yu Fei: “!!”

Yan Qiu: “What pure college girl?”

Lin Wanqing quickly covered her mouth and changed the subject: “I’ll go look for suitable earrings.”

Yan Qiu turned her gaze to the secretary, “Yu Fei.”

Yu Fei pretended not to know anything, “Boss, would you like to review tomorrow’s meeting agenda?”

Yan Qiu: “I’m only curious about the pure college girl.”

Yu Fei: “.”

Lin Wanqing didn’t dare to waste too much of Yan Qiu’s time and quickly settled on the clothes needed for the next day. She had thought Yan Qiu would be a difficult boss to please, but unexpectedly, she nodded and agreed to all the clothes Lin Wanqing chose.

Thinking that her companion would wear the clothes she had carefully selected, Lin Wanqing’s heart felt warm, and she looked like she was smiling foolishly.

She got into Yan Qiu’s car, intending to have a meal together, but suddenly received a phone call. Yan Qiu had to go to the company right away and instructed the secretary to drop Lin Wanqing off at the academy entrance along the way.

Lin Wanqing didn’t dare to delay, “Sorry, I took too long today…”

Through the car window, Yan Qiu placed a candy from her pocket into Lin Wanqing’s palm.

“You don’t need to apologize to me.”

Lin Wanqing looked at the candy, not reacting.

Yan Qiu said, “Don’t all you children like to eat candy?”

Chil-children?!

Lin Wanqing blushed, and a siren blared in her head.

She watched Yan Qiu’s car turn left until it disappeared from sight before turning back towards the library.

The zipper of the small bag she carried was unknowingly open. She had run too fast and hadn’t noticed.

…

Yan Qiu pulled out another identical candy from her pocket, peeled off the wrapper, and put it in her mouth.

This brand of candy was cheap, had a strong milky flavor, and was a childhood memory for many people, some of whom would collect it.

Yu Fei: “Boss, Miss Lin seemed to have taken something in the car. She shouldn’t have gone far now.”

Yan Qiu’s gaze fell on the car door, where a finger-sized perfume sample lay.

The slender glass bottle was easy to overlook.

Inside, there was a light pink liquid.

Yan Qiu held the mini perfume bottle in her palm and examined it carefully, finding the engraving “Su Po” at the bottom.

“An unreleased new product?”

She sprayed a little, and a sweet, boozy scent immediately burst forth. Upon closer inspection, it was vanilla, rose, jasmine, and perhaps a bit of benzoin mixed in. The scent was luxurious, instantly placing one in a magnificent ballroom, extravagant, ostentatious, and noisy. The delicate floral and herbal notes, just right, represented the well-mannered, elegant ladies at the ball.

Yu Fei: “Su Po doesn’t seem to have released this one.”

Yan Qiu stared at the small perfume bottle thoughtfully, “The rabbit lady is always forgetful.”

Yan Qiu collected every perfume released by Su Po and was certain she hadn’t smelled a similar scent. If she were an investor in this studio, she would certainly have access to the new products coming out in the next few quarters. Unfortunately, the perfumer did not accept investment.

…

Lin Wanqing was exhausted when she returned to the dorm, her finger wrapped in a band-aid, faintly bleeding through.

She had accidentally cut the wound again…

Lan Xiaoxiao: “Should we order takeout tonight? A super delicious barbecue place just opened nearby.”

Lin Wanqing: “Sounds good, you decide first.”

Lan Xiaoxiao: “I thought you would say that your strict, seven-year-older friend wouldn’t allow unhealthy food like barbecue.”

Lin Wanqing: “…”

Speak of the devil, and she shall appear. Her phone buzzed twice with a missed call from Yan Qiu.

A text message arrived:

Yan Qiu: Come downstairs.

Lin Wanqing exclaimed “Ah,” quickly called back, threw on a pajama jacket, and rushed downstairs.

Why would Yan Qiu come over in the middle of the night?!

Surely, it wasn’t to fulfill the contractual duties of a companion.

Lin Wanqing’s mind was full of the awful environment of a small hotel near the school, and she patted her head, trying to shake off the trashy thoughts.

Actually, if she had to insist, it wouldn’t be impossible…

Yan Qiu sat neatly in the car, her slender fingers holding a thin tube of perfume, giving no suggestions of anything else.

“You left something in my car.”

Lin Wanqing was pleasantly surprised, “Sister Qiu Qiu came all this way just to deliver perfume?”

Yan Qiu: “Otherwise?”

Lin Wanqing: Otherwise, I’d take advantage of you…

Yan Qiu looked at her little rabbit lady, wrapped in fluffy, bunny-eared pajamas, reached out and ruffled her soft hair.

“I have things to do tonight. Go to bed early.”

Lin Wanqing nodded vaguely, “Okay, I’ll go to sleep right after dinner.”

Yan Qiu opened the car door and kissed her forehead, “You’re young, you need to eat nutritious food. No street food or barbecue, understand?”

Lin Wanqing was instantly hit in her conscience, feeling guilty, “Okay…”

Such a strict parent.
