Chapter 2262: Chapter 66: I Will Take Back My Feelings for You
Ye Zhan watched in amusement as Qin Qingqing pressed the nail of her pale thumb against her index fingertip, indeed showing only a tiny margin.
Yet the pride and smugness in her eyes were quite glaring.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll get mad and leave you stranded halfway?"
He furrowed his brows and asked with feigned displeasure, pressing his lips together.
This girl, didn’t she consider his feelings at all?
Even if she didn’t like him, it wasn’t necessary to hurt him like this.
Qin Qingqing blinked innocently, placing her hands back on her lap, and said with a smile, "You’re regarded as the leader among the Four Young Masters because you’re the most gentlemanly man. Ye Zhan, if you left me halfway, the people of the Imperial City would laugh at you."
"I’ve already been beaten down by you to nothing, why would I fear being laughed at?"
Ye Zhan shook his head; he didn’t care about external judgments.
"You came to pick me up at the request of my grandparents, and my dad even cooked for you himself."
"Uncle Qin cooked for Granny Qin, or you could say he cooked for you, and I’m quite aware of that."
Qin Qingqing chuckled, "I know you wouldn’t leave me behind, I was just being truthful earlier."
"Have you and Mo Ziye reconciled?"
Ye Zhan shifted the topic.
Of course, he wouldn’t throw her out of the car just because of her earlier words.
At the mention of Mo Ziye, a trace of tender emotion filled Qin Qingqing’s smiling eyes as she candidly answered, unafraid of Ye Zhan’s disappointment, "Yes, Brother Ziyi and I have made up."
"Then, what about him and Shi Xi? Have they already broken up?"
"Brother Ziyi said he’ll break up with her after Shi Xi publicly apologizes tomorrow."
"Qingqing, you don’t have to be so honest."
Ye Zhan’s lips curled into a smile, though he felt a tiny discomfort in his heart.
But Qin Qingqing was unconcerned about his feelings, "If I weren’t truthful, how would I kill any inappropriate thoughts at their inception?"
"I understand."
Ye Zhan suppressed the disappointment in his heart, a faint smile emerging on his handsome face, "Qingqing, I won’t cling unnecessarily. Now that you and Mo Ziye have reconciled, I won’t force myself upon you. I’ll take back my affection for you."
"Thank you."
Qin Qingqing smiled and thanked him.
She didn’t want to be liked by many men.
She only wanted to be liked by the one she liked, and that was enough.
And Ye Zhan, he was excellent.
Both her grandfather and maternal grandfather admired this young man. She didn’t want him to get entangled with someone like her.
Ye Zhan chuckled, "I should be the one thanking you. You clearly told me you don’t like me, instead of being ambiguous while still involved with Mo Ziye and giving me hope. Qingqing, I wish you and Mo Ziye happiness."
"Well, thank you again."
Qin Qingqing’s playful and adorable expression made Ye Zhan laugh heartily.
——
Qin Family.
As Qingqing got out of the car, she saw another vehicle pull up to the entrance.
The person who got out was Momo.
"Qingqing, Brother Ziyi said you came back. I didn’t believe it at first, but here you are indeed."
Momo hurried forward a few steps, her beautiful eyes scanning over Ye Zhan standing next to Qin Qingqing, and spoke gently and warmly to Momo.
"Granny fell ill, that’s why I came back."
Qin Qingqing watched the driver carry a box over, furrowing her brow, "Sister Momo, was this... bought by you?"
"I heard from Ziyi that Granny Qin was sick, and I didn’t know what to buy, so I just got something randomly."
"You’re being too polite."
"It’s not being polite, just a little token from me."
"Let me carry it."
"Then, thank you."
Momo’s eyes flickered slightly, and she replied courteously.
Ye Zhan took the gift box from the driver’s hand and followed Momo and Qin Qingqing into the living room.
On the living room sofa, Grandfather Qin was pouring water for Granny Qin.
Upon hearing voices, Granny Qin immediately turned her head towards the entrance, seeing Qingqing and Momo come in together, with Ye Zhan following behind.
Her eyes immediately filled with a smile, "Qingqing is back."
"Granny, how are you feeling now? Why did you leave the hospital after staying just two days? Your call this afternoon scared me so much..."
Qin Qingqing swiftly walked to the sofa, sat down next to Granny Qin, hugged her, and asked a series of concerned questions.
Seeing her granddaughter, Granny Qin felt her illness instantly cured. Hearing Qingqing’s caring words melted her heart entirely, smiling so broadly that she could hardly close her mouth, "Qingqing, I missed you so much. If you stay at home with me, I’ll be fine."
Saying this, Granny Qin looked up at Ye Zhan and continued, "Ah Zhan knew you were coming back, so he went to the airport early to wait for you. This afternoon, when I fell ill, it was also Ah Zhan who carried me to the car..."
"I’ll go check on Uncle Qin in the kitchen."
Momo thought it inappropriate to stand nearby while Granny Qin praised Ye Zhan like a flower, so she turned to enter the kitchen.
Ye Zhan rubbed his nose, dropping a casual remark, "I’ll go see if there’s any help needed."
Then he followed her into the kitchen.
"This child, why did he go to the kitchen too?"
Granny Qin quizzically looked at Ye Zhan’s figure disappearing into the kitchen.
Qin Qingqing chuckled softly, "Granny, you were saying things that Sister Momo and Ye Zhan couldn’t bear to hear, so they went to the kitchen together."
"They went one after another, not together,"
Granny Qin corrected Qingqing.
"Granny, Brother Ziyi and I are back together. Don’t try to pair me with Ye Zhan. On the way back, I already told Ye Zhan that aside from Brother Ziyi, I like no one else."
"You’re back with Ziyi? Did you make the first move?"
"Qingqing, you’re back with Ziyi? That’s good," Grandfather Qin happily said, "No matter who approached first, as long as you’ve reconciled, it’s good. How about Ziyi and Shi Xi? Are they breaking up?"
Last time, when Mo Ziye accompanied Shi Xi back to the Imperial City, they even visited the Qin Family.
Granny Qin was furious at that time.
Thinking of this, Grandfather Qin said to Granny Qin, "Qingqing did the right thing by speaking clearly to Ye Zhan if she doesn’t like him, rather than dragging the matter deliberately. Though it’s a pity, we only have one granddaughter, and in her heart, there’s only Mo Ziye."
"When did you and Mo Ziye reconcile?"
The last time Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen were in G City and staying at the Qin Family, she hadn’t mentioned reconciling with Ziyi.
How many days has it been?
And now they’re reconciled.
Isn’t she tricking them?
"Granny, I’ll call Brother Ziyi, he’s been worried about you."
Qin Qingqing evaded the question and started dialing a number on her phone.
In the kitchen, Qin Mu was cooking and asked Momo and Ye Zhan to leave, but they didn’t seem willing.
A flicker of realization crossed his eyes as he quickly figured out why they didn’t want to remain in the living room. Glancing from Ye Zhan to Momo, he said with a smile, "Momo, Ah Zhan, could you help bring the dishes and utensils to the living room? This is the last dish anyway."
