Married The Crybaby Childhood Crush First, Then Fell in Love - Chapter 40.2

The driver, out of consideration for Lin Wanqing’s feelings, didn’t say his guess out loud.

All the way, Lin Wanqing felt goosebumps from the driver’s scrutinizing looks.

At the hospital entrance, the driver said, “If your girlfriend isn’t good enough, change her. Don’t hang yourself on one tree. You are still young.”

Lin Wanqing paid and got out of the car, “She is a very good person.”

The driver drove away, leaving a final remark, “Tsk, being love-struck at such a young age is not good.”

Lin Wanqing: “…”

Lin Wanqing jogged to the floor the secretary had mentioned. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw a dense crowd of people packed at the entrance of the ward.

They were all dressed lavishly, their expressions anxious yet worried, with a hint of undeniable desire in their eyes.

Yan Qiu sat in a wheelchair, calmly dealing with the people from the Yan family. Yu Fei, who was behind her, immediately approached when she saw Lin Wanqing arrive.

Lin Wanqing couldn’t squeeze in from outside. From a distance, she saw several elders pushing a young woman towards Yan Qiu.

“You silly girl, hurry up and get close to Yan Qiu to show your goodwill. Maybe Yan Qiu will take a liking to you.”

“But Yan Qiu is married.”

“What kind of marriage is that? She just casually found some unsuited girl from a small family. Now that the Lin family has collapsed, they might get divorced at any time.”

Lin Wanqing saw the woman named Yan Lenghuan standing beside Yan Qiu from afar. She gently and cautiously brought over the Old Master’s medical report, her eyebrows seemingly full of concern for the elder’s health.

Yan Qiu turned sideways and whispered softly to her.

Yan Lenghuan was beautiful, with small dimples when she smiled, and her gaze toward Yan Qiu was focused.

It made one want to melt in that gentle look.

“Cousin, you’ve worked hard. And your wife, really, is still busy with school even in this situation.”

Yan Qiu whispered a few words to her, and she smiled faintly, changing the subject.

Lin Wanqing felt a sharp pain in her heart watching from behind.

Yu Fei whispered, “The Old Master is fine now. The Boss rushed over immediately after getting the call this morning.”

Lin Wanqing nodded in understanding, the trace of sorrow in her eyes betraying the emotional turmoil in her heart.

Yu Fei sensed Lin Wanqing’s mood, “The Boss is also blaming herself for not picking up Miss Lin today.”

Lin Wanqing: “The Old Master’s health is more important.”

Lin Wanqing glanced at the Old Master from afar in the ward. After being rescued, his face was pale, but his physical data had returned to normal. He should wake up after a nap.

Yu Fei was called away to handle other matters. Lin Wanqing sat on the edge of the rest area, watching the Yan family relatives calculating their schemes.

“If you ask me, Lin Wanqing and Yan Qiu will divorce within six months. The Lin family members have all been jailed. Lin Wanqing is not ashamed.”

“Yan Lenghuan is better. Look how well those two match.”

Lin Wanqing sat in the corner. She didn’t attend events often, and those people didn’t recognize her, assuming she was a junior brought by someone.

The joy she felt after the competition had been completely overshadowed. Seeing Yan Qiu next to another woman, drinking the water the other person offered, her breathing was laced with a stinging pain.

People like Lin Wanqing shouldn’t have appeared before Yan Qiu in the first place.

They belonged to two different worlds.

Yan Qiu seemed to sense Lin Wanqing’s gaze. She raised her hand to stop Yan Lenghuan from getting any closer, “I am married. You should maintain a distance.”

Yan Lenghuan’s movement paused, her worried eyebrows drawing sympathy, “Cousin…”

Yan Qiu ignored her tender gaze. Her wheelchair moved through the crowd and stopped in front of Lin Wanqing, “I didn’t pick you up today. I’m sorry.”

Lin Wanqing lowered her head, letting Yan Qiu take her hand, “It’s okay.”

Yan Qiu noticed Lin Wanqing’s unhappiness and frowned, saying to the people nearby, “The Old Master is not well and likes quiet. Why are so many of you gathered here?”

A few relatives of the Yan family forced a smile, “We’re worried, you know. What if something happens…”

Yan Qiu interrupted, “If something happens, it has nothing to do with you.”

The faces of those relatives instantly turned ugly. They glared fiercely at Lin Wanqing, but they didn’t dare to show any displeasure toward Yan Qiu.

Lin Wanqing became even more silent.

Yan Qiu drove everyone away, leaving only Yan Lenghuan standing by the side of her wheelchair.

Yan Lenghuan smiled faintly, “Cousin, I’ll handle things at the hospital. You are busy with work, it’s too much trouble for you.”

Yan Qiu tapped her fingers on the side of the wheelchair, not giving her a glance.

Yan Lenghuan’s smile was gentle and weak. Looking from a distance, it seemed like the two were intimately whispering.

Lin Wanqing felt even more distressed seeing this. She felt so inferior that she wished she could crawl into a crack in the wall.

Yan Lenghuan was raised and educated by her family since childhood, like a precious pearl. She was loved and cultivated by the whole family. Even if she couldn’t gain benefits in marriage, her maternal family would still offer support.

Unlike Lin Wanqing, who was humbled to the dust.

Yan Qiu waved her hand, “Have the bodyguards come over. No one is allowed to visit.”

The relatives were like vultures and hyenas on the savanna, waiting for the Old Master to die so they could divide the property.

It seemed that as long as the Old Master was alive, Yan Qiu wouldn’t allow any accidents to happen.

Lin Wanqing timidly asked, “Is Sister Qiuqiu going back to the company?”

Yan Qiu said tiredly, “I still have things to deal with at the company. You should go back first.”

Lin Wanqing quietly replied, “I’ll wait for you to come home for dinner.”

Yan Qiu’s wheelchair paused, “No need to wait. I’ll be quite busy lately.”

Lin Wanqing held back the bitterness in her heart and wiped the corner of her eye, “Mhm…”

Yan Qiu sensed her unusual emotions. She looked back at the elevator entrance and saw Lin Wanqing standing there obediently, holding a canvas bag, smiling and waving at her.

She wasn’t like other rich wives, who dressed themselves up in splendor, only regretting that others didn’t know how expensive their clothes and necklaces were.

Lin Wanqing was always simple and understated. Even though she earned a lot of money running her brand, she never put effort into her appearance.

She only had a few sets of clothes that she rotated through the season, no different from an ordinary university student.

Yan Qiu raised her hand. Yu Fei thought something important was happening and quickly bent down to listen to her.

Yan Qiu: “The earrings my aunt wore today match Lin Wanqing very well.”

Yu Fei, who thought it was a major secret concerning the company’s survival: ?

Yu Fei looked at Yan Qiu, “I will grab them for you right away, please wait.”

Yan Qiu: “…”

Yu Fei observed her expression, “Should I leave them alive?”

Yan Qiu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed dryly, “We are legitimate business people. Go check where they were customized and get a pair for Lin Wanqing.”

Yu Fei suddenly realized, “We are legitimate business people?”

Yan Qiu gave her a cold look, and the latter immediately shut up.

Recently, the government issued new land investment policies. Yan Qiu had been extremely busy lately.

After Yan Qiu arrived at the company, “Go to the old-fashioned dessert shop on the east street and buy a small cake to send to Lin Wanqing.”

She cared deeply about Lin Wanqing’s unhappy, downcast look at the hospital today.

Yu Fei nodded, “I’ll go take care of it right away.”

Lin Wanqing returned to the empty mansion. The housekeeper was watering flowers in the yard.

Seeing Lin Wanqing, the housekeeper put down the hose, “Madame, why are you back alone today? Where is President Yan?”

Lin Wanqing sighed lightly at the sight of the old and kind housekeeper, “President Yan is probably sleeping with some little vixen.”

Housekeeper: ?

Lin Wanqing: “Tell the auntie not to prepare dinner. She won’t be back to eat tonight.”

The housekeeper patiently advised, “Did Madame and President Yan have a fight?”

The housekeeper had seen with his own eyes that since Lin Wanqing arrived, Yan Qiu’s condition had improved, almost to the point where she couldn’t let go of the person she was hugging.

Especially these past few days, for some unknown good reason, the kitchen auntie cooked two red eggs every morning.

Their relationship was so intensely affectionate; it didn’t look like infidelity at all.

Lin Wanqing felt wronged, her eyes aching from crying, “No fight. I’m going back to my room.”

The housekeeper grew more anxious seeing her silence, “Excuse me for being blunt, but President Yan finds it difficult to stand on her own two legs. It would be very hard for her to cheat.”

Lin Wanqing looked back at the housekeeper, “…”

Old employees truly speak differently.

Lin Wanqing indicated that she was not comforted.

Even if she couldn’t move her legs, she could still bully people severely.

The housekeeper watched as Lin Wanqing cried even more pitifully, “?”

Yan Qiu returned very late. The night light in the bedroom was on. Lin Wanqing sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the moon outside the window.

She knew that there was no love between her and Yan Qiu, and everything was just because of a paper agreement.

Even so, Lin Wanqing still took a gamble, giving her first time to her.

A person as love-deprived as Lin Wanqing would follow along for even the smallest kindness.

Yan Qiu opened the bedroom door. Her body was stained with mixed perfumes and wine smells, and fatigue was evident in her eyes.

The dessert the secretary had sent was on the bedside table, unopened.

Yan Qiu rolled her wheelchair over to Lin Wanqing, “Sweetie.”

Lin Wanqing’s eyelashes fluttered, “You’re back.”

Yan Qiu held her hand, like a cell phone with almost no battery nearing a charger, and hugged Lin Wanqing, taking a deep inhale.

She was exhausted without Miss Rabbit to breathe in.

The embrace stunned Lin Wanqing.

Lin Wanqing’s lips moved, and she weakly asked, “What kind of girl does Sister Qiuqiu like?”

All the fatigue on Yan Qiu’s body dissipated instantly upon nearing Lin Wanqing. Yan Qiu yearned for Lin Wanqing’s scent.

“I like… someone quiet, obedient, with soft cheeks to touch, as cute as a little rabbit.”

Lin Wanqing thought, what kind of description is that?

Yan Qiu’s red lips pressed against Lin Wanqing’s neck, leaving lipstick marks.

Lin Wanqing was breathless from her kissing, “Is a girl like Yan Lenghuan okay? She is more suitable to be my sister’s wife than I am.”

Yan Qiu’s movements in her arms froze, “What did you say?”

Yan Qiu’s previous warmth instantly vanished. The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were extremely cold.

Lin Wanqing lowered her head, not daring to look at her, “The Lin family has nothing left. You can’t get any benefits from me.”

Yan Qiu interrupted, “You don’t need to use honorifics with me.”

Lin Wanqing’s aching eyes filled with tears again, “Yan Lenghuan is so much better. She is a perfect match for you, like adding relatives to relatives. She looks better than me in every way.”

“Sister, please choose her.”

Yan Qiu suddenly pinched her chin, “Lin Wanqing, you just slept with me and then told me to go look for someone else.”

Lin Wanqing looked at her tearfully.

Yan Qiu spoke word by word, her gaze seeming to devour her alive,

“Are you prostituting me?”
