Chapter 333 - Old Love Rekindled (1/2)
Luxurious mansions with a seascape are quite common in coastal cities. In addition, the rich were much more common in Tsingtao, which was more stunning than the provincial capital, Jinan. Therefore, the housing along the coastline of Tsingtao was basically those luxurious mansions with a seascape. Song Zhiqiu lived in the Navy Center on Hong Kong Road, which could be counted as a front-line luxurious mansion in Tsingtao. The sea view of Fushan Bay could be overlooked from there. One could see the most beautiful scenery in Tsingtao through the full-screen French windows every day. People who could afford to live here must be in a good mood every day.
The Song family had many industries in Tsingtao; for example, real estate. Moreover, the Song family had also developed many luxurious mansions, including the well-known No. 8 Laiyang Road and the Lalu Manor on Fenghuang Mountain, both of which were the Song family’s masterpieces. However, Song Zhiqiu was reluctant to live in a luxurious mansion developed by her own family, fearing that she might be disturbed from time to time.
Along the way, Qin Sheng had been basically lying on Song Zhiqiu’s legs and resting himself, seemingly blasted. In addition, his hands held Song Zhiqiu’s waist unscrupulously. What was worse, his hands had even stroked Song Zhiqiu’s slender and pretty legs many times, making Song Zhiqiu feel ashamed as well as indignant. She feared that the driver in the front seat, Xiaoliu, would see what Qin Sheng was doing. Consequently, she had stopped him many times. However, it was impossible for Qin Sheng, who had lost consciousness, to sense her intention. In the end, Song Zhiqiu gave it up and let Qin Sheng do whatever he liked randomly. She simply did not know how she should deal with this drunkard and thought that she might have been indebted to him in her previous life.
As they just arrived at the entrance of the Navy Center, Qin Sheng, who had come through all the way, could not hold it anymore. Hardly had the car been parked stably when he pulled the door of the car open quickly and ran out. He bent over by the side of the road and vomited as if he were a sick dog. Following that, Song Zhiqiu trotted over, frowned, and helped Qin Sheng by patting his back, making him feel more comfortable. In addition, she murmured, “Why did you insist on drinking to such an extent? Every difficulty and obstacle can be dealt with. Is the previous Qin Sheng dead?”
As the Eldest Lady of the Song family, never had Song Zhiqiu taken care of others in such a manner, which was an unreasonable expectation for any man. However, since she had come across her sweetheart today, she had no choice but to take care of her boyfriend as if she were a tender and cute woman. Xiaoliu handed a bottle of water to Song Zhiqiu. It was not until Qin Sheng was almost done with vomiting that Song Zhiqiu asked him to rinse his mouth.
After Qin Sheng was done rinsing his mouth, he drank up the remaining half bottle of water and came to his senses finally, more or less. Maybe it was due to Qin Sheng having a pretty good constitution that he was extremely good at alleviating the hangover after drinking too much every time. He did not look like most of the people who would be completely doomed as long as they were drunk.
“Aren’t you cold?” Qin Sheng straightened his back, turned around, and stared at Song Zhiqiu, who looked somewhat miserable in the chilly wind. She had gotten out of the car in a hurry while wearing only an evening dress. It seemed that Qin Sheng had never seen Song Zhiqiu looking so delicate and attractive before.
Xiaoliu also came to his senses. He ran back to the car in a hurry and brought Song Zhiqiu’s coat over. However, Qin Sheng had taken one step ahead of him, took off his coat, and put it on Song Zhiqiu, who did not say no to Qin Sheng’s coat, which stunk of alcohol. She felt somewhat touched.
Song Zhiqiu was somewhat drunk. She squinted and asked, “Am I dreaming now?”
Qin Sheng stroked Song Zhiqiu’s long hair, chuckled, and replied, “If you were dreaming, you should go on with it without ever waking yourself up.”
Song Zhiqiu held Qin Sheng’s waist tightly, leaned on Qin Sheng’s shoulders, and didn’t want to say anything at all. She had once thought that after meeting Qin Sheng again, she definitely would get into a temper and abuse him roundly or ask others to give him a black eye. After that, they would be even, and never would they meet each other again. However, after she saw Qin Sheng, she realized how silly her original thought was. After all, people could not deceive themselves. She still liked Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng stroked Song Zhiqiu’s back gently. What had happened this time made him take many things lightly, especially the relationship. As the weak bury their heads in the sand while facing every difficulty, the strong would think of ways to deal with the difficulties. As one enjoyed their lifetime in the world, they did not need to pay attention to secular views. Never should one leave regret behind for their entire life. Only after one becomes powerful enough could they own everything that they aspired for, including a woman. Could one just give their lover up to others submissively and wish them a happy life? No, their lover could only fight for their own happiness by themselves.
At this moment, the driver, Xiaoliu, who had just gotten the coat and came out of the car, was astonished by this scene. As expected, the relationship between this man and the Eldest Lady was quite obscure. No wonder the Eldest Lady had not fallen in love with anybody in the past a few years and had not even communicated further with any man. It turned out that she had someone whom she could not let go of in her heart. Xiaoliu had no choice but to take the man in front of him seriously.
It was unknown how much time had passed. Qin Sheng noticed the quite embarrassed driver, Xiaoliu, who was not far away from them. It was not suitable for Xiaoliu to either come over or leave there directly. However, he felt much worse while standing where he was. Upon seeing this scene, Qin Sheng released Song Zhiqiu slowly then said, “It’s cold outside. Put on your coat.”
Song Zhiqiu wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes impassively. After that, she nodded obediently. Upon hearing what Qin Sheng had said, Xiaoliu ran over right away and handed the coat to Song Zhiqiu. Qin Sheng took the coat over and helped Song Zhiqiu put it on. After that, Song Zhiqiu ordered the driver, “Xiaoliu, bring my bag over for me. You can go home first and you don’t need to pick me up tomorrow.”
“All right, Eldest Lady.” Xiaoliu followed Song Zhiqiu’s order immediately. As for what Song Zhiqiu was going to do next, it was not under his charge, since it was the Eldest Lady’s freedom. Of course, regarding what had happened today, he would keep his mouth shut.
After Xiaoliu left, Song Zhiqiu turned around, held Qin Sheng’s hands tightly, and stared at him with a faint smile on her face. After that, she pulled the confused-looking Qin Sheng into the residential quarters. This was the first time she had brought a man back to the Navy Center. Qin Sheng had been to her home previously, which was the reason why she had chosen to change her dwelling place and moved from the Renaissance Harbour View to the Navy Center. She had not wanted to see anything related to Qin Sheng.
Love always tortures most of the people. Consequently, how free and easy these people were who could sing lines of “Life is nothing but bullshit” and “Love is nothing at all.”
After they opened the door and entered the house, Song Zhiqiu could finally relax completely and did not need to pretend to be a beauty of noble birth or a young lady from a rich family. Without even turning on the light, she directly kicked off her high heels, tossed away her coat, and danced lightly and gracefully in the bright living room barefoot, which was lit up by the moonlight. It was unknown if she had done so due to the drunkenness or her good mood.
