Married The Crybaby Childhood Crush First, Then Fell in Love - Chapter 40.1

When Lin Wanqing returned home, she didn’t even have the strength to move a single finger.

Her self-esteem was completely crushed by the well-dressed Yan Qiu’s torment, and she was quickly devoured whole.

Again and again…

Lin Wanqing lay on the bed, her back aching so badly she felt like she only had one breath left.

She looked at Yan Qiu in accusation, “Sister Qiuqiu is an expert at bullying me.”

Yan Qiu’s cool hand massaged her sore spots, “It’s not bullying, we are deepening our affection.”

Lin Wanqing thought she was talking nonsense, but she had no proof.

She whined and hugged Yan Qiu’s pillow, like a little rabbit carrying the freshest hay back to its nest.

Miss Rabbit’s ears drooped, and she groaned as she was massaged.

Yan Qiu showered and lay down on the bed. Lin Wanqing immediately curled up on the side, watching her warily.

“Not tonight… daytime was enough.”

Lin Wanqing pleaded softly, hugging the pillow.

Her painful body felt no different from a broken rag doll that had been played with too hard.

Yan Qiu gently kissed her long hair, “I won’t bother you tonight. Good luck with tomorrow’s competition.”

Lin Wanqing didn’t dare to trust her, huddling on the edge of the bed, extremely afraid.

Her knees, from kneeling for a long time, were sore and numb, and her waist was no better; even her collarbone was covered in bruises.

Lin Wanqing, both vigilant and fearful, fell into a deep, peaceful sleep in the dim room, breathing in the familiar scent.

Yan Qiu embraced the sleeping girl, holding her close, and kissed Lin Wanqing’s tear-stained eyes.

Her tear-reddened eye corners had a unique charm. A light kiss made the girl in her arms tremble.

“Enough, no more…” Lin Wanqing mumbled.

Yan Qiu: “Mhm, no more.”

She pulled the blanket up for Lin Wanqing, greedily inhaling the scent of her beloved.

Since Lin Wanqing moved in, Yan Qiu hadn’t suffered from insomnia once.

The next day, Lin Wanqing got up early for the competition, feeling refreshed.

Yu Fei smiled, “The Boss is waiting for you in the car. Good luck with the competition today.”

Lin Wanqing was as timid as a dog, “The competition is hard. What if I don’t get first place…”

Yu Fei’s smile became even more kindly and beautiful, “The Boss is the biggest sponsor. Miss Lin, go beg a little; perhaps there’s a backstage deal.”

Lin Wanqing got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. Yan Qiu was in the back, wearing headphones for a meeting. The divider between the front and back seats was up, separating the two spaces.

Lin Wanqing hadn’t been nervous about the competition before, but after the secretary’s words, her palms were sweating.

Yu Fei: “Huiyan Group holds a pivotal position in the industry. If the legal wife fails to achieve good results, outsiders will inevitably gossip.”

Lin Wanqing shrank timidly against the car door. The rest she got last night hadn’t fully restored her lower back.

It hurt a lot, very uncomfortable.

She yearned for more of Yan Qiu’s massages and caresses.

Yu Fei looked at her intently, “The stock price will be affected if the Madame doesn’t get first place. Madame, you must cheer up.”

Lin Wanqing stiffened her neck and said, “As a student of Y University, I will never bow to capital or engage in unfair competitive behavior like cheating or plagiarism. I am an upright person.”

The divider slowly descended. Yu Fei saw the Boss’s gaze through the rearview mirror.

Yan Qiu: “…”

Yu Fei sighed, “Perhaps the Boss hopes the Madame would pull some strings.”

Lin Wanqing instantly softened her stance, muttering that if she took the initiative, it might not be impossible.

Yu Fei: “?”

You are truly a fine student of Y University.

After dropping her off at the competition venue, Lin Wanqing got out of the car and waved at Yan Qiu in the back seat.

Yan Qiu patted her shoulder, “Good luck with the competition. If you don’t get first place…”

Lin Wanqing shivered, “If I don’t get first place…”

Yan Qiu leaned over and bit her earlobe hard with her teeth.

“Ah—” Lin Wanqing gasped, wanting to escape her restraint, “Sister!”

Yan Qiu: “If you don’t get first place, don’t even think about getting out of bed this month.”

In broad daylight, Yan Qiu whispered such dirty, indecent words in her ear.

Lin Wanqing’s pupils trembled, and her whole body flushed. She dared not look into Yan Qiu’s eyes, like an overly startled little rabbit unable to move.

Yan Qiu gently stroked her long hair and kissed her lips tenderly, “Just kidding. It’s okay even if your results aren’t good.”

Lin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. Although Yan Qiu’s actions in bed were excessive, she was genuinely gentle and was indeed not the type to force others.

Yan Qiu: “Compete well. I have a reward for you.”

She closed the car door, her shallow smile sending a shiver down Lin Wanqing’s spine.

She suddenly didn’t want that reward very much.

She felt uncomfortable physically right now, as if she was still holding something.

Was that reward… anything decent?

The competition time was approaching. Lin Wanqing walked through the door, looking back repeatedly, and couldn’t help but rub her sore and weak waist on the steps.

Her butt was still a little sore.

Only when Lin Wanqing’s back was out of sight did Yan Qiu instruct the secretary to drive away.

The secretary kept looking back, “Boss, are you going… to the government meeting or back to the Group?”

Yan Qiu caressed the ebony walking stick in her hand, lazily closing her eyes, “You should watch the road. I don’t want to make headlines again tomorrow because of a car accident.”

Yu Fei said “Yes” and floored the accelerator, the resulting lurch startled Yan Qiu, making her open her eyes.

“Drive slower. This is the second speeding ticket this month. It’s coming off your license points.”

Yu Fei took a mirror from the glove compartment and handed it to the Boss, “You… should restrain yourself a little, or you’ll be on the front page of the gossip section tomorrow.”

Yan Qiu’s skin was very fair; the slightest bump would leave a mark. She usually liked to wear dark clothes, which set off her skin to be even more flawless, like jade.

The hickey on her neck was extremely obvious.

It was ambiguous and suggestive, like a night of revelry with a wild young lover.

Yan Qiu touched Lin Wanqing’s bite mark, squinting her eyes in pleasure, “Isn’t making the gossip section’s trending topics good? It can increase the Group’s visibility.”

Yu Fei was silent for a moment, “That’s true.”

Yan Qiu didn’t want to cover up the hickey. Anything Lin Wanqing left on her was precious.

Yan Qiu yearned to embrace Lin Wanqing even in her sleep. Now that she had her wish, how could she hide it?

The harsh ringing of the phone broke the silence in the car. Yan Qiu saw the call was from the Old Master’s assistant, and she immediately answered.

After listening to a few sentences, Yan Qiu immediately asked, “How is the Old Master’s health now?”

Assistant: “He was just rescued this morning, and he is out of danger now.”

Yan Qiu sighed in relief and demanded, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

Assistant: “The Old Master instructed not to disturb you. He is still resting now. You can come over later.”

Yan Qiu’s silent low pressure rapidly consumed the oxygen in the car, and Yu Fei felt like she could hardly breathe.

Yan Qiu’s fingers tapped on the ebony walking stick, making a ‘da da da’ sound that rattled the heart.

Yan Qiu finally sighed, “I understand.”

As the current head of the Yan family, Yan Qiu held a crucial position and had a lot of work to handle every day. It made sense that the Old Master didn’t let her know.

The Old Master was getting older. No matter how well he took care of himself, his body would eventually have problems.

This morning, while taking a walk in the courtyard, he suddenly had severe chest pain. He was discovered by the housekeeper and immediately rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

He was now out of danger.

Yu Fei cautiously asked, “There are two meetings this morning. The supplier is already waiting…”

Yan Qiu tiredly pinched her temple, “Cancel all meetings. Go to the hospital.”

When Old Master Yan had an accident, some unscrupulous media got the news from somewhere and reported that he was nearing the end of his life.

Yan Qiu looked through the news websites, “Go communicate with the platform. Delete all these news articles and ban the accounts.”

Yu Fei: “I’ll take care of it right away.”

Lin Wanqing finished the competition, smiling as she packed her things, “I’m leaving first. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Lan Xiaoxiao followed behind her, “Run slower. Be careful not to fall.”

Lin Wanqing: “My girlfriend is picking me up. Don’t talk if you don’t have one.”

Lan Xiaoxiao was inexplicably hit with a huge dose of public display of affection.

Lin Wanqing, having just finished the competition, ran out of the building. The sun shone on her face, and the wind blew through her long hair.

Her bright eyes searched for the familiar car at the entrance.

But there was nothing.

Lin Wanqing stood still, feeling a little lost. Every time, Yan Qiu would arrive early, bringing snacks and milk tea.

Today, the entrance was empty, with only some students and campus media.

Lan Xiaoxiao was breathless and stopped, “President Yan didn’t come?”

Lin Wanqing pursed her lips, a pang of dull pain in her heart. She had submitted her work early so that Yan Qiu wouldn’t have to wait long.

Lan Xiaoxiao saw a hint of sadness flash in her eyes, “Call and ask. Yan Qiu is probably busy. The elevated road is probably jammed at this hour too.”

Lin Wanqing’s eyelashes fluttered, and she licked her dry lips.

She was used to being pampered by Yan Qiu and would feel sad over the slightest grievance.

Having tasted a little sweetness, Lin Wanqing had completely fallen into Yan Qiu’s gentle trap, without even the strength to struggle.

She just wanted to absorb more of Yan Qiu’s warmth.

She wanted to be doted on.

She dialed Yan Qiu’s number. After a busy tone, a voice message said: the number you dialed is temporarily unreachable. Please try again later.

She called three or four times, but no one answered.

Lan Xiaoxiao saw Lin Wanqing was about to cry and quickly comforted her, “Call Sister Secretary. She must be free.”

Lin Wanqing sniffed. Her eyes were completely red.

The physical pain had not subsided, and the unanswered calls were like a heavy blow to her heart.

Call her melodramatic, or dependent, but she just wanted to draw more warmth from Yan Qiu.

She wanted someone to hurt for her.

She dialed Yu Fei’s cell phone number. After two unanswered calls, the third one finally connected.

Yu Fei’s surroundings were noisy. She walked to a relatively quiet place, “Miss Lin.”

Lin Wanqing was nervous: “Did President Yan have an accident? Why isn’t anyone answering the phone?”

Yu Fei quickly gave an address, “President Yan is fine. The Old Master has been hospitalized. I can’t leave right now. Please take a taxi over.”

Lin Wanqing immediately said, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Lan Xiaoxiao smiled and comforted her, “Yan Qiu didn’t mean to not answer your call. Don’t be sad.”

Lin Wanqing forced a strained smile, “Mhm, I’ll take a taxi to the hospital. I’m fine, don’t worry.”

The weather was getting colder. Lin Wanqing’s nose tip was red from the cold. She flagged down a taxi and rushed to the hospital.

“Did you break up with your boyfriend, young lady? Don’t be desperate. Life goes on.” The taxi driver saw her red eyes and thought she was going for an abortion. “You’re young. You have to love yourself. There’s nothing you can’t overcome.”

Lin Wanqing: “…Mhm, we didn’t break up.”

The taxi driver spat, “Still making you get an abortion even though you didn’t break up? That guy is a piece of trash.”

Lin Wanqing palely explained: “…It’s not an abortion. An elder in the family is hospitalized.”

The taxi driver glanced at her and mumbled, saying nothing.

How sad this girl was crying, looking like a poor little victim of a heartless man. What else could it be but an abortion?
