Chapter 224 The Fated One
On Qin Yueran’s private rooftop terrace, fragrant flowers and lush greenery surrounded them as the night breeze blew gently, with soft yellow lights casting a warm glow.
Su Rui leaned back on the sofa, looking at Qin Yueran who stood sulking nearby, and said with a smile: “You were the one who hugged me first, and you were the one who fell asleep in my arms. How come you turn against me the moment I hug you?”
Qin Yueran bent down, grabbing Su Rui’s collar with both hands: “I’m warning you, don’t ever mention that sleeping incident again!”
Due to her posture, Su Rui’s line of sight went straight to the peaks of her chest. Even though they were covered by the qipao, their shape was absolutely perfect.
Qin Yueran was ready to strike, but found that Su Rui wasn’t paying attention to her at all, giving her the powerless feeling of punching cotton!
“What are you looking at?”
Qin Yueran was still holding Su Rui’s collar when she followed his gaze, and her pretty face immediately turned red.
“Pervert!”
Qin Yueran seemed embarrassed and angry, releasing his collar and actually swinging her palm toward Su Rui’s face!
She didn’t really intend to hit him, it was just a reaction in the heat of the moment!
But Su Rui didn’t see it that way. He caught Qin Yueran’s descending hand, pulled and tugged, causing her to lose balance and fall directly onto him!
And those towering peaks pressed right against Su Rui’s face!
“Daring to hit me, you really have the guts of a bear and a leopard!” When it came to disciplining women, Su Rui was always swift and decisive, his palm making a resounding intimate contact with her buttocks!
This time, Qin Yueran was both embarrassed and anxious. Sitting on the sofa, she angrily said: “You’re bullying me!”
“Yes, I’m bullying you, so what?” Su Rui really liked Qin Yueran’s temperament, and teasing her when idle was quite enjoyable.
Qin Yueran wrinkled her nose without speaking. She truly couldn’t get back at Su Rui and had no way to deal with this man.
If Qin Ranlong were here and saw that Su Rui could spank his fourth sister’s bottom and still be alive and well, his jaw would probably drop to the floor!
“Let’s chat for a while?”
Su Rui looked at the pouting Qin Yueran and said with a smile.
“I have nothing to chat about with you.” Qin Yueran replied irritably. Her bottom was still faintly aching. This hateful guy, why did he use so much force earlier?
Just thinking about how her chest had such intimate contact with Su Rui’s face, Qin Yueran was almost dying of embarrassment.
“How about this, to express my apology, I’ll treat you to a meal sometime, what do you think?” Su Rui said.
“Why wait for sometime?” Qin Yueran looked at her watch: “If you want to apologize, let’s do it now. I’m off work anyway.”
“That’s perfect. Having a late-night meal with a beautiful woman has always been something I’ve longed for,” Su Rui said cheerfully.
However, what Qin Yueran didn’t know was that her phone was left in the office, and by now, there were already eighty-one missed calls!
Eighty-one!
“Why isn’t she answering, why isn’t she answering!” Qin Ranlong was at their family home in the capital, jumping anxiously on the other end of the line!
Finally, due to constant vibration, Qin Yueran’s phone automatically shut down!
As Su Rui was walking with Qin Yueran to the door, his phone rang.
Seeing it was a call from Qin Ranlong, he smiled and said: “What a coincidence, it’s your brother calling me.”
“That idiot.” Qin Yueran’s face darkened when she thought about Qin Ranlong calling Su Rui “brother-in-law.”
Su Rui deliberately put the call on speaker, and they heard Qin Ranlong’s urgent voice coming through: “Hello, brother-in-law, where are you?”
Hearing the term “brother-in-law,” the black lines on Qin Yueran’s face increased. She grabbed the phone and said: “Qin Ranlong, watch what you say. Who’s your brother-in-law?”
Being interrupted by Qin Yueran, Qin Ranlong was obviously stunned on the other end, almost forgetting what he wanted to do: “Sis, just as I thought! I called you so many times and you didn’t answer, but you answer my brother-in-law’s phone. You two must be inseparable!”
“Qin Ranlong, do you have a death wish?” Qin Yueran was so angry that the peaks of her chest rose and fell, drawing beautiful curves.
With such a wonderful view, Su Rui naturally wouldn’t miss it. He was watching with great interest, hoping Qin Ranlong would say a few more provocative things.
“Sis, are you angry because I exposed you? It’s already midnight, what are you doing with my brother-in-law? Playing games in bed?” Qin Ranlong had always been someone who spoke without filters, not even sparing his own sister.
“Qin Ranlong, Su Rui and I are not what you think!” Qin Yueran was completely helpless. She was well acquainted with her brother’s sharp tongue.
“Sigh, sis, don’t bother explaining. Explaining is covering up, silence is admission. No matter what you say or do, I won’t believe you.”
Well, with that statement, Qin Ranlong had practically defined the relationship between Qin Yueran and Su Rui. But it’s true, a lone man and woman together so late at night—saying there’s nothing between them, even ghosts wouldn’t believe it.
“Qin Ranlong, what do you really want?” Qin Yueran said impatiently. She truly had no way to handle her little brother.
Reminded by Qin Yueran, Qin Ranlong suddenly shuddered and slapped his forehead: “Oh no, I almost forgot the important matter!”
“What is it?”
Even Su Rui was curious and leaned in to listen.
“Third Uncle, Third Uncle has brought Big Sister and several others to Ninghai! I just found out!”
This pig of a teammate Qin Ranlong only now revealed his true purpose!
“What are they coming for?” Qin Yueran’s brows furrowed tightly: “Could it be?”
Qin Ranlong seemed to know what his sister was thinking and answered before she finished: “Yes!”
The next moment, Qin Yueran’s body trembled uncontrollably!
Su Rui quickly stepped forward and supported her trembling body!
“That guy came to propose yesterday!”
Hearing this, Qin Yueran shuddered violently again!
“I was afraid you’d worry, so I didn’t tell you. I didn’t expect Third Uncle to go to Ninghai so quietly today!”
“You know our father’s nature is to avoid conflict, and now Third Uncle makes all the family decisions…”
Qin Ranlong was still talking, but Qin Yueran could no longer hold the phone. It slipped from her hand and fell!
Su Rui, quick as lightning, caught the phone and said: “Don’t worry, I’ll handle things here.”
“Brother-in-law, I’m counting on you!”
Hearing Su Rui say this, Qin Ranlong put his heart at ease. He knew that Su Rui rarely made promises, but once he did, he would fulfill them one thousand percent!
Qin Yueran’s body was already swaying. She said with self-mockery: “Cursed husband-prospering fate, cursed husband-prospering fate… After hiding for two years, I still can’t escape it…”
Su Rui cupped her face, letting his gaze penetrate her eyes: “Trust me, no one can force you to do what you don’t want to do!”
Qin Yueran was stunned, then nodded firmly.
She knew that perhaps only Su Rui had the right to say such words.
Looking at those eyes full of confidence and determination, Qin Yueran couldn’t help but recall the song Su Rui had played on the rooftop earlier—”We Have No Tomorrow.”
As if seeing through Qin Yueran’s thoughts, Su Rui continued very seriously: “We have tomorrow, a tomorrow we will create with our own hands!”
With that, Su Rui took Qin Yueran’s hand and led her out of the rooftop.
Being held by Su Rui’s warm, large hand, Qin Yueran felt almost dizzy. She couldn’t control her steps at all, allowing him to lead her forward.
Looking at the not-so-broad but definitely powerful back in front of her, Qin Yueran’s eyes moistened.
At the moment when her world was about to collapse, this man seemed to descend from the heavens. He was her rescuer, her destiny.
Feeling the warmth transmitted from Su Rui’s palm, Qin Yueran seemed to hear the quiet strumming of her heartstrings.
Life carries both mud and sand, but warmth and emotion also endure.
…
Outside Qin Yueran’s room stood a group of people. Among them, a middle-aged man wearing a black Zhongshan suit was loudly scolding a service staff.
“My niece’s room, why can’t I enter? You, a mere service staff, are actually lecturing me!”
“I’m not lecturing you, it’s just that this is the general manager’s room, and she specifically instructed that others cannot enter her room without permission. I don’t even have the key…”
Slap!
Before the service staff could finish, a burning slap landed on his face, stunning him!
“Outrageous!”
The middle-aged man cursed angrily: “Disrespecting superiors, completely lacking manners! I really don’t know how Yueran has been managing you all these two years! It’s getting more and more ridiculous! I think the management rights of this Junlan Hotel should be taken back sooner or later! Nonsense, pure childish nonsense!”
Next to the middle-aged man stood a middle-aged woman wearing an expensive coat. Her eyebrows were thin, her cheekbones high, and her entire person appeared very gaunt, with her eyes unconsciously revealing a sense of arrogance.
“I think it’s because Big Brother has been too lenient with Yueran. That’s not how you should love a daughter! If this continues, even the best child would be spoiled! I hope this marriage doesn’t jeopardize the future of our Qin family!”
These two spoke with extreme acidity and harshness. The service staff covered his swollen face, standing aside full of indignation but not daring to speak further.
At this moment, a beautiful woman standing behind them finally spoke up. Looking closely, her appearance had some resemblance to Qin Yueran.
“Third Uncle, Third Aunt, those words are quite unpleasant. We’re here to find Yueran, not to forcibly take her back. Marriage is a major life event and should ultimately follow her own wishes.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman raised her willow-like eyebrows, appearing very displeased: “Yuexin, listen to yourself. Would your Third Uncle and Aunt harm her? Since she has the extremely rare husband-prospering fate, it should be well utilized to maximize benefits for the Qin family. Besides, isn’t Ouyang family’s young master Xinghai well-known? Do you think Ouyang Xinghai isn’t good enough for Qin Yueran?”
At this point, the middle-aged woman snorted coldly: “In my opinion, Ouyang Xinghai taking an interest in Qin Yueran is simply the ancestors of your Qin family burning incense for good fortune!”
