Married The Crybaby Childhood Crush First, Then Fell in Love - Chapter 39.1
The little rabbit had no idea what was going on between the two women.
At this hour, the housekeeper had already left work. The whole house was empty; only the clock on the wall ticked with a rhythmic kacha kacha sound.
Being placed in the soft bedroom, her ears were ringing, and her face was flushed, practically cooked through.
Yan Qiu: “Tian Tian shouldn’t have believed my words.”
Lin Wanqing’s eyes were blurred with tears. “How could someone as good as Sister bully me?”
Yan Qiu’s eyes grew darker. She was not a good person at all.
She had admired Lin Wanqing for a very, very long time, so long that she herself could barely remember the starting point.
Countless times she had just wanted to watch from afar, to marry her and provide for her, without asking for her affection…
Slowly, it turned into, If only I could hold her hand.
If only she wasn’t afraid of me, if only she could truly smile for me…
She wanted Lin Wanqing to only have eyes for her.
The next morning,
Lin Wanqing woke up with her entire body aching.
Yan Qiu held her from behind. “Awake? Sleep a little longer.”
“Don’t…”
Yan Qiu’s body was marked and bruised, her back and neck scratched by fingernails. Her neck and shoulders were a sight to behold, having been sprayed with a layer of medicine.
Lin Wanqing was no less marked, having thoroughly turned into a resigned, salted fish.
Yan Qiu spoke softly: “Why are you crying?”
Lin Wanqing cried even harder.
Yan Qiu chuckled: “Why are you crying like a young bride who’s been violated?”
Lin Wanqing: “Sister Qiuqiu should be at work by now.”
Yan Qiu: “I’m the boss. No one checks my attendance.”
Lin Wanqing gritted her teeth. “I have class this morning. Let me go quickly.”
Yan Qiu punctured her lie. “I checked your class schedule. All your exams are done. Where would you have class this morning?”
She whispered close to Lin Wanqing’s ear, “Could it be that Tian Tian is still a high school student who has to go back to school to go over test papers after the final exams?”
“Don’t move. Let me massage you. I apologize; I went too far.”
The medicated oil was applied to her waist, and Yan Qiu’s massaging technique was expert.
Experience makes a good doctor. The pain-relieving spray she kept nearby was remarkably effective.
“I’m not angry.”
Yan Qiu paused her movements. “What?”
She had indeed been impulsive last night.
Seeing the injuries on her body in the morning, she had already regretted it deeply.
Lin Wanqing buried her head in the pillow, murmuring quietly, “As long as it’s Sister Qiuqiu, it’s fine.”
Yan Qiu embraced her from behind. “I like you so much.”
Yu Fei drove to the mansion and immediately noticed that Lin Wanqing’s posture while walking was slightly off.
She looked at Lin Wanqing, then at her boss. The former was exhausted, the latter looked sated.
Yu Fei walked over with documents and a cushion. “Miss Lin, do you need to place this under your lower back?”
Lin Wanqing already had a cushion on her chair, but her waist ached badly, and she really needed a backrest.
“Ah, thank you.”
Yu Fei showed a motherly, loving smile.
Lin Wanqing got goosebumps from the sight.
Yu Fei spread the documents in front of her boss. “These two need your signature.”
While the boss reviewed the documents, the secretary wasn’t idle. She went to the kitchen and found the auntie who was preparing breakfast.
“Auntie, hold on. On such a wonderful day, shouldn’t we prepare some red-dyed eggs?”
The cooking auntie was stunned. She was about to serve the cooked porridge and side dishes. “Is there a big celebration today?”
Yu Fei urged her: “Of course there is! Go quickly and boil two red-dyed eggs. It’s a lucky day.”
Lin Wanqing’s face burned hot, and a stream of figurative steam rose from her head.
Yan Qiu signed the documents and affectionately rubbed Lin Wanqing’s waist. “Are you still uncomfortable?”
Lin Wanqing had become a salted fish without any dreams left. “I’m fine. Don’t rub.”
I’m afraid you won’t be able to resist, and you’ll eat me up again.
It wasn’t until the two piping hot red-dyed eggs were placed on the table that Lin Wanqing’s humiliation reached its peak.
The perfectly round red-dyed eggs had a beautiful color and were served on a porcelain plate with the character for ‘joy’ written on it.
The entire atmosphere was filled with a celebratory mood.
Lin Wanqing’s face immediately fell. “Can I not eat it?”
Yan Qiu pushed the egg toward her. “Eat it. You don’t like the yolk, so I’ll eat that part.”
Yu Fei, holding the contracts, smiled widely: “Or maybe boil some brown sugar eggs? I see them every time I attend a banquet in the village.”
Lin Wanqing thought to herself, Are you attending a funeral or a wedding banquet?
After the meal, Lin Wanqing looked wilted, like an unwatered sprout, and didn’t recover until she was dropped off at the school gate.
Yan Qiu lovingly kissed the little sprout. “Be good. I’ll pick you up this afternoon.”
Lin Wanqing whimpered and felt like crying again.
Yan Qiu: “If you’re really uncomfortable, don’t go to school today?”
Lin Wanqing gave her a mournful look. If she didn’t go to school, she was afraid she would be “bedded” again.
She was so uncomfortable now that she couldn’t sit still.
Especially what happened with Yan Qiu last night… she didn’t dare to think about it in detail.
Lin Wanqing got out of the car cautiously, only sighing in relief when the black sedan had completely left her sight.
She moved her legs awkwardly.
Once inside the school, Lan Xiaoxiao invited Lin Wanqing to sit in the empty student club room. She had been studying percussion since elementary school, and a bass-playing senior in the club was going abroad, leaving a vacancy.
Lan Xiaoxiao was holding a milk tea and immediately noticed Lin Wanqing emerging from the chilly wind.
How odd. Must look again.
Lin Wanqing got goosebumps from being stared at. “Don’t look at a married woman with that kind of gaze.”
Lan Xiaoxiao: “You’re different from before.”
Lin Wanqing took a sip of the sugar-free milk tea, chewing and swallowing the pearls whole.
“How am I different?”
Lan Xiaoxiao: “You are now a lily that has been moisturized. You’re exuding an eighteen-plus aura from head to toe.”
Lin Wanqing’s mind suddenly went blank with a buzz.
She was on the verge of crying from embarrassment.
With people passing by, Lin Wanqing suddenly covered her mouth.
Lan Xiaoxiao: Mmmph mmmph mmmph mmmph—
When they reached the club room, it was empty. Only a freshman girl was tidying up, and she greeted them politely when she saw them.
Lan Xiaoxiao: “Wasn’t I wrong?! Are you cheating on Yan Qiu? Rich people are so damn exciting.”
Lin Wanqing was shocked: “How could that be?”
Lan Xiaoxiao winked. “Don’t lie to me. Yan Qiu is crippled in both legs. How could she ‘get intimate’ with you? Who is the other person? Is he handsome? Is he rich?”
The freshman tidying the instruments knew that Lin Wanqing’s spouse was the CEO of Huiyan Group. Now Lin Wanqing was cheating on the CEO?
She felt she had stumbled upon some incredible gossip.
The freshman’s pupils dilated in shock, and she shivered, shrinking into a corner.
Lin Wanqing remained silent, looking at her quietly, as if she were about to burst into tears the next second.
Lan Xiaoxiao: “No way?! It really was Yan Qiu?”
Lin Wanqing: “…”
Be careful not to let Yan Qiu hear this, she thought, otherwise, there will soon be a new cement tank at the construction site in the western development zone of the city.
Lan Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue in amazement: “Standing up for love, a medical miracle. If she’s not nominated for a Nobel Prize, I’m not watching.”
Lin Wanqing finished the final adjustments on the brooch and put it in a bag. She needed to go to Yan Qiu’s company.
Work matters should be resolved at the company, but Lin Wanqing had a small, selfish reason: she wanted to see Yan Qiu right now.
Her body had been claimed, and her heart instinctively clung to her.
Before leaving, she patted her roommate’s shoulder and affectionately handed her the red-dyed egg from her bag.
“Eat it.”
As she left, Lan Xiaoxiao waved at the intersection. “I asked my friend who studies Traditional Chinese Medicine to check your pulse. She said your pulse is weak and floating, and your body is frail. You need to nourish your kidneys well and must not be overly indulgent. You need to restrain yourself a bit.”
Lin Wanqing got into the car without looking back. She could do without this kind of friend.
Even though more than ten hours had passed, the soreness in her waist was undiminished.
She longed to be held and comforted, yet felt too wronged and wanted to cry.
Delivering the finalized brooch to Yan Qiu was the pretext; her genuine desire to see Yan Qiu was the truth.
Lin Wanqing stood weakly beneath the company building, clutching the paper bag containing the brooch.
She and Yan Qiu were married by agreement; there was no foundational affection between them. She had accepted a substantial sum of money, Su Po had received additional investment, and she had not signed a prenuptial agreement, receiving many benefits. Offering her body was nothing in comparison.
Lin Wanqing risked everything, deciding to give her sincere heart away.
She wanted Yan Qiu to like her more.
The person in the elevator mirror was in no way the proper image Yan Qiu preferred.
Even now, she was in a daze. Did her big black cat truly like her, or was she just settling for anyone she could get along with?
Yet, whether it was the loving intimacy they shared or the absolute financial freedom she enjoyed, everything silently screamed, “I love you.”
It was precisely because of this that Lin Wanqing was even more moved.
Lin Wanqing stepped out of the elevator. The floor of the CEO’s office was always quiet and cool.
Yu Fei was communicating with an intern by the window. Seeing someone emerge from the exclusive elevator, she extended a greeting.
Yu Fei: “Miss Lin, why did you come personally? The boss just mentioned wanting to pick you up.”
The secretary nudged the intern’s arm. “Quickly, say ‘Madam’.”
The intern politely bowed and whispered, “Hello, Madam.”
Yu Fei: “The boss is still in a meeting. I’ll go in and inform her. Miss Lin, you look so beautiful. The boss is very lucky.”
The black stockings made her legs look straight, and the long skirt covered her knees, making her look like an elegant beauty.
Lin Wanqing shook her head. “No need. I’ll wait for her at the door.”
She mustn’t interrupt Yan Qiu’s work any further.
Standing formally at the entrance to the conference room, Lin Wanqing was wearing seven-centimeter-high heels today. To maintain balance, her calves had to constantly strain.
So uncomfortable.
She didn’t like wearing high heels, but high heels were pretty, and Qiuqiu would like them.
The young girl who understood her feelings knew what this meant: she was attached to her.
She had never been loved before. Her layers of rationality were suddenly broken by impulse. Once Lin Wanqing had a taste of sweetness, she couldn’t stop wanting to rush forward like a moth to a flame.
Inside the conference room, Yan Qiu tapped her fingers on the table.
Employees familiar with her knew the boss was running out of patience.
Yan Qiu tossed the document onto the center of the conference table. “Keep revising it. How can you have the audacity to make this into a PPT for a meeting? Send the list of tenants for the new shopping mall to my email.”
