Chapter 2690: Qingqing’s Side Story — Qingqing Has Something to Say to You
"Shuangshuang, don’t be afraid!"
Hearing his voice and rubbing her eyes, Mu Shuang discovered that he was still there. As she glanced behind him, she found Ye Haoyang in black attire inside the room.
"Brother-in-law, you two!" Mu Shuang was puzzled as to why they had come at this time.
"Qingqing has something to say to you," Ye Haoyang said, "You two talk first, I’ll keep watch outside."
"Hehe, thanks, Second Brother!" With the matter resolved, the sunny Ye Rongqing was back, and his smile now carried a bit of silliness.
Ye Haoyang let out a cold snort and went out.
Once the door was closed, Ye Rongqing looked at Mu Shuang, feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment. Thinking back to how close they had been, his face reddened, even redder than Mu Shuang’s.
"Um... I originally wanted to come see you openly. But since the matter hasn’t been fully resolved, I can’t do that. So I asked Second Brother to bring me here."
Ye Rongqing scratched his head, thinking that saying it like this felt a bit odd.
Just then, Ye Haoyang’s voice appeared, "Don’t ramble, focus on the key points."
Ye Rongqing’s face instantly turned dark, "Second Brother, why are you eavesdropping on me?"
Ye Haoyang looked helplessly at the starry sky. What could he do with his excellent hearing?
"Alright, I’ll stand further away. Speak the essentials, or else we’ll be discovered by the people of Mu Residence."
Ye Rongqing finally relaxed and calmed himself before saying, "Shuangshuang, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know it was you; the fault is entirely mine."
"Rest assured, as a man, I’ll surely take responsibility." After considering for a moment, he added, "I will definitely treat you well, just like how Big Brother and Second Brother treat their wives."
Mu Shuang’s character somewhat aligns with Ms. Fan—she is a traditional woman who believes in parental guidance and arranged marriage.
Her brother, sister, and parents all married that way. She didn’t think it was bad, so she never expected love. Now, with Ye Family’s response regarding her loss of chastity, they would invite a matchmaker just like her siblings, and she felt her future life would likely be similar to theirs.
Though she envied her cousins’ loving marriages, she knew such encounters were rare.
She didn’t expect Ye Rongqing to say such words, which truly came as a delightful surprise.
She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can I trust you?"
"Of course!" Ye Rongqing patted his chest, "True men keep their word. Although I’m not as outstanding as my brothers, rest assured, from now on, I’ll strive to give you a life of immense prosperity."
Mu Shuang didn’t have high demands regarding material wealth; she believed life is for oneself, and being peaceful and harmonious is best.
Yet Ye Rongqing’s heartfelt promise made her very happy.
"Then, I trust you!"
Ye Rongqing instantly beamed with a smile.
"Are you done talking?" Ye Haoyang’s voice came again.
Ye Rongqing gave an embarrassed smile to Mu Shuang, "Second Brother is so annoying, like a rush ghost."
Ye Haoyang cursed silently, this brat is quick to burn bridges.
"You should head back soon; it’s very late now."
Ye Rongqing, feeling that he had said enough, nodded.
As he opened the door, he suddenly slapped his forehead and turned back saying, "I almost forgot this; it’s the most important thing among all my possessions, and I’m giving it to you."
Without waiting for Mu Shuang to respond, he exited the room.
