"This is between my husband and me. What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere?" Lin Qingyan coldly stared at Qin Yu. Her tone was equally frosty, and it was clear she harbored a deep disdain for Qin Yu.
Suddenly, Lin Qingyan's words stunned those who had been waiting to mock Su Chen. "What on earth happened to Lin Qingyan? Has she been cursed or something?" "Looks like Su Chen is making a comeback! She's acting just like a devoted wife." "I just want to know what kind of hefty price the Su family paid to make Lin Qingyan make such a sacrifice."
Everyone was shocked, but those in the crowd who disliked Qin Yu found the scene immensely satisfying. Both Qin Yu and Su Chen were figures they delighted in seeing embarrassed; ideally, they wanted both to lose face. "Miss Lin, I just tried to help you. What do you mean by this?" Qin Yu was clearly bewildered.
Anger flashed in his eyes but was quickly suppressed. He had experienced a lot overseas and had taken many lives. If this were a private encounter, Su Chen would have already been dead by his hand. After calming down, he started to ponder. Why would Lin Qingyan make such an unexpected move?
Even with his exceptional intelligence, he was left confused. His information showed that Lin Qingyan should despise Su Chen. Why would she now assist the useless Su Chen? Even though the turn of events was beyond his expectations, he didn't consider giving up. Lin Qingyan was crucial to his plans.
As long as things went smoothly, success was a step closer. Moreover, he was in too deep to back out now. "Miss Lin, I told you, you don't need to degrade yourself. Everyone in the capital knows that the person you despise the most is Su Chen." Although startled by Lin Qingyan's earlier actions, Qin Yu was quick to bring up the widely-known fact that she loathed Su Chen.
Su Chen, who was playing the villain's role, realized something was off. Nothing like this had happened before. Thankfully, he was quick-witted. "Even if you despise me, so what? If I can't have your heart, I'll have you." Su Chen roared angrily, his expression turning sinister.
Gosh, he just wanted to play the villain, why was it so hard? After all this, the female lead was the problem. A big problem. "Please, Lin Qingyan, call off our engagement!" To ensure the story progressed smoothly, he was giving his all. He had spoken so rudely earlier just to anger Lin Qingyan. "I've been so terrible. Won't you break our engagement? Even if you scold me, that would be better!" What happened to the ice queen persona of Lin Qingyan?
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, everyone present looked at him with disdain. Everyone in the world knows that the person Lin Qingyan despises the most is you. Could it be that only Su Chen doesn't know and is still lost in his fantasies?
Of course, what everyone is most concerned about now is Lin Qingyan's attitude towards Su Chen. After all, Su Chen has just uttered such words. How can you still tolerate this?
Interestingly, initially, most people wanted to see Qin Yu make a fool of himself. But seeing Lin Qingyan's treatment of Su Chen, their perspectives changed, and now they want to see Su Chen embarrass himself. But to everyone's surprise, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, Lin Qingyan turned to look at Su Chen, and the cold winter seemed to turn into a warm spring. She said gently, "Who said I wanted to divorce? Who said I hate Su Chen? Have I ever said that out loud?" When she said this, everyone was taken aback.
It seems that Lin Qingyan never really said she wanted to divorce. And she never said she hated Su Chen. But isn't it obvious to anyone with eyes? Why is it different now?
"I came not only to get engaged but also to set a specific wedding date." "Of course, I hope it's as soon as possible." Lin Qingyan's face was filled with a captivating smile, causing everyone present to be stunned.
Especially those young masters present. Lin Qingyan's smile is too beautiful. It's an unforgettable face. Why would she smile? Wasn't she supposed to be cold and emotionless? Didn't she inherently lack a smile? Now why is she smiling at Su Chen, this notorious playboy?
And what did she mean by her words earlier? "Going to marry Su Chen immediately?" The realization dawned on everyone, and they were dumbfounded by this terrifying revelation.
Lin Qingyan actually said she wants to marry Su Chen? And she seems so eager.
As for Su Chen, he wished he could die on the spot. His face full of horror. What the hell is happening? What's wrong with Lin Qingyan? How could the female lead smile at me and snap at the main character, Qin Yu? And to make things worse, she now wants to marry me. This has to be a mistake.
Su Chen felt utterly helpless. But at this moment, seeing Su Chen's panicked look, Lin Qingyan became even more delighted. She almost burst out laughing.
With her bright eyes, Lin Qingyan looked at Su Chen, nearly losing her composure and rushing forward, wanting to hug him. Su Chen thought, This woman must have gone mad. How can one play out such a plot?
I absolutely cannot marry this woman. Wait, she doesn't seem like she's being threatened by that cheap old father of mine. That smile seems to come genuinely from her heart.
I get it now! Su Chen had an epiphany. He understood why Lin Qingyan's smile was so sincere.
There must be a scheme behind it. If he agrees, he's surely falling into some kind of trap. The reason for such suspicion is that the system did not give any hints.
Previously, whenever there was a slight change in the female lead, the system would always give a prompt: Mission Failed. Such a cunning woman. But that's all there is, I, as a young master, can easily handle it.
However, Su Chen can't outright refuse: "Qingyan, while what you said is true, you are in the rising period of your career. We can postpone the wedding a bit, I don't mind." This way, he not only delays the wedding but also maintains his sycophantic image. Su Chen couldn't help but feel proud of his acting skills.
Who would have thought, Lin Qingyan suddenly moved her face close to Su Chen's, her moist cherry lips moving slightly: "You are more important than my career!" "So, we can hold the wedding tonight and get the certificate tomorrow!"
