Chapter 412 - Wait for My News (1/2)

Qin Sheng was good in nature and had never offended Qing’er. But why was Qing’er cold to Qin Sheng and what made the distance in between? It was because when Qin Sheng came here the first time, he joked with Jiang Xianbang by saying that he had a secret lover in his house, which was heard by Qing’er by accident.

But Qin Sheng learned the truth about Qing’er after Jiang Xianbang explained to him that Qing’er was the daughter of his old friend who had passed away, and he treated her like his daughter. Qin Sheng apologized to Qing’er, but Qing’er didn’t forgive him and thought that he was dirty. She hated it the most when others made fun of their relationship. Uncle Jiang did have some lovers, but he had been treating her as his real daughter and smothered her, which was far from other people’s guess.

So ever since then, Qing’er had been detesting Qin Sheng, and their conversations had never been smooth. She knew that Uncle Jiang hoped that she and Qin Sheng would become a couple, but she would never fall in love with such a man.

So when Qin Sheng suddenly came here after disappearing one and a half years ago, Qing’er was surprised and then calmed down. She was distant to Qin Sheng like before. But she changed the moment Qin Sheng said that he could make Uncle Jiang come back. While Qin Sheng was dissatisfied with Qing’er’s attitude and was about to leave, Qing’er couldn’t help begging for his forgiveness.

For Qing’er, she could do anything for Uncle Jiang to make him come back home and end his wandering life. But Qing’er didn’t expect that Qin Sheng would make such a weird request. So she froze and didn’t know how to deal with it.

“You’re talking nonsense.” Qing’er stared at Qin Sheng angrily.

Qin Sheng shrugged. “Well, I gotta go. You just continue enjoying your tea and reading. Bye.”

Qin Sheng turned back and was about to leave. He hoped that he could seize this chance to settle their conflicts, after all, his apology was refused.

Qing’er held Qin Sheng’s arm. “Qin Sheng, if you can make Uncle Jiang come back, I will do anything, but this… Can I do something else?”

Qin Sheng squinted, eyeing Qing’er, the gorgeous beauty in every man’s dream. He made another joke. “You will do anything, huh?”

Qing’er nodded without hesitation with a sense of firmness in her eyes.

Qin Sheng said, “Good, then be my lover.”

Qing’er froze again. She didn’t imagine that Qin Sheng would say such shameful words. Feeling really disgusted, she bit her bottom lip with her eyes becoming red and shedding tears. Without Uncle Jiang’s protection, she was helpless and bullied by others a lot.

Qin Sheng was flustered and regretted telling the joke. Qing’er’s reaction made him almost believe that he had made his words come true. Qin Sheng felt kind of guilty and said, “Please, no. I’m so wrong. I didn’t mean to offend you. It’s just a joke. I just felt a little bit annoyed since I was coming to see you but you were so cold to me, like I had borrowed money from you and didn’t pay it back.”

Qin Sheng regretted saying that. If Uncle Jiang knew that he teased her, he might kill him with a kitchen knife.

Qing’er was still embroiled in her emotions with her fists tight and tears shedding. She recalled that Uncle Jiang made all those efforts for her, and when she met him in Hong Kong, his face was getting old; and she thought about how much he suffered over the past year. She couldn’t help crying and saying with a shaky tone, “I will, if you can make Uncle Jiang come back.”

Qing’er knew that the “smile” was a joke, whilst the “lover” was half truth, half joke.

Qin Sheng was regretting making this joke so much that he almost wanted to slap himself. Qing’er always took things seriously. He should have known that, and now, how could he deal with this?

“It was really a joke. I didn’t mean it. Anyway, I’ll find a way to make Uncle Jiang come back. After all, he had helped me,” Qin Sheng exclaimed. He was almost kneeling down to beg this woman not to cry.

Qing’er was a common person who was willing to pay as much as she could to help Uncle Jiang, even the “lover” thing. She thought that Qin Sheng didn’t believe her, and said, “If you can get him back, I swear, I can do that.”

“F*ck!” Qin Sheng was so flustered that he cursed.

He didn’t bother saying more then. He knew that Qing’er always took things seriously and further explanation made no sense. He just ignored her serious personality.

“Fine, whatever you say, I believe you, OK? Now, can you just listen to me?” Qin Sheng didn’t want to make any further comments about her swearing to do that.

Qing’er nodded. “Mmm.”

“No more crying. Wipe your tears and smile, or I’m leaving,” Qin Sheng said in a firm tone as if he was really about to go without mercy.

Qing’er wiped away her tears, took a few deep breaths, and offered a half-bitter smile to Qin Sheng. She was doing so for Uncle Jiang, rather than Qin Sheng, so this was out of her real heart.

Her teary face and smiling face were both so charming that Qin Sheng froze for a moment. It’s said that a woman’s smile and tears are the most powerful weapons against men.

“That’s right. Your smile is gorgeous.” Qin Sheng smirked.

Qing’er gave Qin Sheng an unpleasant glance, but she was not as distant as before, keeping a smile on her face. She detested Qin Sheng privately, for he was no more than one of those dirty men who desired her body.
