Chapter 698: 705 Various kinds of sadness and pain_1

Qin Muchuan responded to Lin Xiangwan’s question like this. "When I started to like her is not important. What’s important is, as long as you know who I’ll be fond of in the future, that’s enough!"

After he finished speaking, he left with Zhou Ziqing, hand in hand.

Lin Xiangwan felt like she had been thrown into giant waves. Her heart was churning violently, each wave causing her intense pain, leaving her drained and in despair...

She wept bitterly, even ignoring incoming phone calls from Princess Qi.

Even after Su Yueze had answered the phone for her and relayed some information, she wasn’t able to take in any of it, consumed by her sadness.

Phone in hand, Su Yueze asked, "So, how about this? Miss Qi said that she already informed her father about this matter. He’s apparently already taking care of it. If all goes well, the approval to resume your project will be granted tomorrow. Do you have any other requests? Or maybe... you don’t want to help Qin Muchuan anymore!"

"..." Lin Xiangwan sat catatonic on the hospital bed. Her eyes were bloodshot from crying, silent tears streaming down her cheeks. It’s as if she’d lost all connection to the outside world.

"Wanwan..." Su Yueze gently called out to her.

"..."

"Since Qin Muchuan can be so heartless, I think you should stop concerning yourself with him. Let this matter slide. Tell Princess Qi not to approve of his project!" Su Yueze suggested.

Despite Qin Muchuan being his good friend and partner, and despite the fact that, if he didn’t remain chairman of Huatai, he himself would also bear a heavy loss, he still felt a strong need to teach this heartless man a lesson. How could he switch his affections so quickly!

Only then did Lin Xiangwan slowly lift her head, shaking it at Su Yueze. "Don’t..."

Su Yueze gave a sigh, followed by a bitter smile. "Even now, you’re still protecting him. It seems that you really are head over heels in love with him. You’ve cried all night...and he hasn’t called once! Why bother about him? Why do you still like him? You should teach him a lesson, let him be broke all his life. Zhou Ziqing thinks she’s struck gold, doesn’t she? Let her realize that what she has is not a brick of gold, but a worthless brick, worth about two cents!"

Lin Xiangwan did not laugh, nor heed Su Yueze’s advice. In a hoarse voice, she said, "Not for his sake, but for mine. After all, I’ve drunk so much with Princess Qi, it’d be a shame to have a stomach cramp and leave things unfinished, wouldn’t it?"

After thinking it over, Su Yueze agreed that there was some truth in that. "But to just hand over the project to her.... That’s letting them off too easily!"

"It doesn’t matter anymore!" Lin Xiangwan’s voice was particularly harsh, her eyes particularly frightening. "Consider it... the end of my feelings for him. Actually, it’s pretty good that he’s treating me like this. At least... I can finally let go. Not lingering, and not wasting my own time either!"

Su Yueze came up with an idea. "How about this, let’s have Princess Qi hold onto the approval for now. Make Qin Muchuan beg on his knees, or Zhou Ziqing – she loves Qin Muchuan, right? Let her kneel before you. If she does, then you give her the document. If she doesn’t, Qin Muchuan can see whether this woman truly loves him!"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head, showing no interest. "Yueze, your suggestion is no good at all. By arranging for them to display their love, isn’t that just giving them a chance to pledge their love? It’s just kneeling, they’re not asked to pick out an eye or anything. Zhou Ziqing is a shameless woman. If you ask her to kneel, she’ll do it without a second thought. In the end, the one who’d be thanked by Qin Muchuan and the Qin family would be her, not me. Why on earth would I help her achieve that?"

As she said this, tears welled up in Lin Xiangwan’s eyes again. "Let it go. Just give it to them!"

Su Yueze nodded, "You’re right. There’s no need to give Zhou Ziqing a chance to show off!"

"Let Qin Muchuan know that this was something you risked your life to recover!" Su Yueze added.

"There’s no need!" Lin Xiangwan shook her head again, a stabbing pain bursting in her head immediately after the movement, forcing her to hold her breath, not daring to move at all. "Don’t... Just let it be. I don’t want to get him back, anyway. Let’s cut ties completely. I don’t want... him feeling indebted to me..."

Su Yueze’s head throbbed in anger. "Qin Muchuan will regret this! He’ll rue this day so much he’ll want to kill himself!"

"Let him be!"

Lin Xiangwan no longer cared.

"Where will you go next?" Su Yueze had to think about her future plans, she couldn’t stay in the hospital forever, could she?

She could be discharged today if nothing happened!

"I don’t know..." Lin Xiangwan looked lost. "Before, Qin Muchuan had rented a place for me near the restaurant. I think I’ll go back there, I hadn’t cancelled the lease yet!"

"No way, you two haven’t divorced yet, you should come back to the Qin Family’s house!" Su Yueze suddenly realized.

"..." Lin Xiangwan fell silent, weighing his words.

She adored her two children...

"You must go back!" Su Yueze emphasized, "The Qin family’s house is big enough. No one is saying you have to live a married life with him, but you still have this status, and you still need to care for the children!"

He was right. "Okay!"

And so, Lin Xiangwan was brought back to the Qin household by Su Yueze that morning.

Zhou Ziqing came back to the Qin household with Qin Muchuan. But before they entered, Qin Muchuan made a request. "Now our relationship is public, that should satisfy you, right?"

Zhou Ziqing was unable to contain her joy, smiling from ear to ear, her eyes filled with happiness. "Yes, I’m very satisfied!"

"Since you’re happy, then.. when you’re here, it’s better to be more restrained, or else people will gossip!" Qin Muchuan pointed towards the house.

Zhou Ziqing thought about it and nodded. "I understand!"

"Also, concerning Tongtong and Ranran... you should treat them as your own, right?"

"Of course..." She nodded more firmly.

"Hmm, you mustn’t bully them, else people will say you make a terrible stepmother, that you mistreat children. That won’t be good for your image!" Qin Muchuan warned her.

"Yes, I understand basic principles, so you don’t need to worry!" Zhou Ziqing stated confidently.

"Also, I think you should leave here, go back to where you were living!" He added.

"Ah, why?" Zhou Ziqing was not willing. "The weather is getting colder and colder. The heating in the place I lived in isn’t very good. I don’t mind, but what about Duoduo?"

Zhou Ziqing came up with all sorts of reasons to stay. Eventually Qin Muchuan had to agree...
