1038 Isve Been Thinking About You Again 3 (1/2)

They stopped at a red light, and Qin Yinan did not realize he had lost himself once more staring at Cheng Qingchong. It was not until the cars behind them started to collectively honk that he recovered and moved on.

When they were about 200 meters away from Four Seasons, Qin Yinan's phone rang. Since he thought it was another call from Chen Yang, he did not hurry to answer it. It was not until he stopped the car by the roadside that he picked up the phone slowly. When he saw the caller ID, his expression softened tremendously. He answered and called out caringly, ”Song Song.”

The expression of Cheng Qingchong, who was not asleep at all, froze when she heard these two words. She titled her head slightly to the side and opened her eyes to look out the window.

”No, I swear I didn't hide the thing from you on purpose. I simply wanted to resolve it on my own. And see, haven't I done exactly that? I've obtained the contract from Golden Wings…

”…Fine, fine. Song Song, don't be angry, I know you're worried about me…”

Old habits die hard. When Song Qingchun was unhappy, Qin Yinan's first reaction was to console her. As she looked out the window, Cheng Qingchong's lips tensed slightly when the man's gentle as water tone drifted into her ears.

Song Qingchun is probably calling because she heard about the crisis at Qin Yinan's company.

Before she went to beg Jin Ze, Cheng Qingchong did consider the fact that Qin Yinan still had Song Qingchun, the unrelated sister that was even closer than blood siblings, and by talking to Song Qingchun, he could easily gain the aid of her Big Boss.

However, she knew better than anyone else that Qin Yinan would not go to Song Qingchun. Men everywhere in the world were the same; when they were down on their luck, they would insist on relying on themselves to overcome it. A man's foolish pride prevented themselves from asking help from the girl they once loved no matter how difficult the situation they were in.

Even though the sacrifice she had made was huge, in a way, she felt a perverse pride that the person who managed to help Qin Yinan in his time of need was her, Cheng Qingchong, and not Song Qingchun, who grew up together with him.

Sometimes, one just had to settle for second best. If one could not be with the one they loved, doing everything one could for them was a happy thing as well.

No matter how big the hurt behind that happiness was.
