After he said the last sentence, the expression on his face changed instantly, becoming angry and hateful.
Yu Chen chuckled, “You don’t need to worry about what’s going on between us.”
He looked at Guo Wenhao contemptuously, threw away the paper he had been using to wipe his hands, turned and walked out.
Guo Wenhao stopped him and said angrily, “Yu Chen, you have been sorry for him before, bullied him, insulted him, and trampled on him. Now that you are married to him, you should compensate him twice as much and be twice as kind to him. Instead of being like this. It’s up to you to do whatever you want!”
“Go away.”
“Of course you want me to go away. If I hadn’t left, how could Xiao Qing be with you? He liked me so much, and I liked him too. We should be together! Instead of him getting married to you without even a wedding, letting others speculate about your marriage every day!”
“What did you say?” Yu Chen didn’t seem to hear clearly. So he asked, “You said he liked you back then?”
“Otherwise?” Guo Wenhao asked, “Did he like you?”
Yu Chen was silent.
Of course Ling Qing wouldn’t like him. At that time, he and Ling Qing only interacted with Ling Bai. He didn’t want to see Ling Qing and found it annoying every time he met him.
He couldn’t even remember what Ling Qing looked like in high school, so young? Gentle? Flamboyant? Still fearless?
There was no figure of Ling Qing in adolescence in his memory. He didn’t know what Ling Qing was doing or what he liked during that period.
He didn’t know that Ling Qing at that time actually liked others.
He looked at Guo Wenhao, who glared at him angrily and unwillingly.
His appearance was not bad, his height was not bad, and his family background was just okay.
However, that was all.
His grades were not excellent, and his character was not mature enough. What did Ling Qing like about him?
Or, did his liking have nothing to do with this?
Yu Chen couldn’t understand.
He thought about last night, when Ling Qing told him that Guo Wenhao came to see him, but he didn’t pay attention and just said that it didn’t matter as long as the other party didn’t like him.
Ling Qing didn’t admit it, just smiled, and he laughed it off.
Thinking about it now, Ling Qing didn’t deny it at that time.
He never hid it from him, even if it was such a big thing as Ling Bai’s life experience, he truthfully let himself know.
However, he chose to remain silent on the matter of Guo Wenhao.
Yu Chen couldn’t help clenching his fists, and for a moment, his heart ached.
He walked around Guo Wenhao and wanted to go out, but Guo Wenhao stubbornly blocked him and wanted to continue talking to him about Ling Qing.
Yu Chen clenched his fist, punched him suddenly, and instantly pressed Guo Wenhao to the wall, “Who do you think you are, and what qualifications do you have to interfere with me and his affairs here.”
He looked at Guo Wenhao with deep eyes, but there was a hint of anger jumping on his face, “Are you unwilling? But what’s the use of being unwilling? He is already mine, and you are not even a passerby.”
He let go, and Guo Wenhao replied unwillingly, “Then I love him more than you, and care about him more than you!”
With a “bang”, Yu Chen punched him, and Guo Wenhao was knocked to the ground before he could avoid it.
Tang Mao, who had just reached the door and wanted to come in, was frightened when he saw this and did not dare to move.
Yu Chen looked down at Guo Wenhao, the anger in his eyes deepening, “Self-righteous.”
He said these four words calmly, turned around and left the bathroom.
Tang Mao was stunned for a moment and quickly chased him.
“Mr. Yu, what’s going on? I…”
“Next time you let me see him, we won’t need to cooperate in the future.”
Yu Chen interrupted him and took his jacket that was being handed over from the waiter, ignored him and left the hotel.
The driver had already parked the car and was waiting for him outside the hotel.
Yu Chen got into the car and leaned back on the chair, but his mood was not as calm as he looked.
He looked at the scenery in front of the car, but he seemed to not be able to see clearly. Guo Wenhao’s words were always echoing in his ears.
Did Ling Qing like him?
He liked him before, but now? Still like it?
What did they talk about when they met yesterday?
Why did Guo Wenhao accuse him of not wanting to have a wedding? Was it because Ling Qing actually always wanted a wedding?
But if so, why didn’t he tell him himself?
He was thinking silently, and while he was thinking, his cell phone rang.
It was Ling Qing’s exclusive ringtone. Ling Qing had helped him set it once when they were watching a movie.
He took a second to calm down and answered, “Hey.”
“What are you doing?” Ling Qing asked, “I just finished eating.”
“I just finished eating too.”
“It’s late.” Ling Qing was surprised, “Do you have a party today?”
“Well.”
“Then go back and go to bed early. If you haven’t eaten well, let the servants at home prepare some midnight snacks for you.”
Yu Chen listened to his tone as usual, gentle and considerate.
He asked, “Do you want us to have a wedding? It’s been a long time, and it’s time for us to have a wedding.”
Ling Qing didn’t expect that he would ask this, and replied: “Don’t worry, let’s wait until my career becomes more stable.”
“Don’t you want to?”
“You do?” Ling Qing advised him, “Wait a little longer, Xiao Yu, there’s no rush.”
Yu Chen then responded in a low voice, “Okay.”
Ling Qing smiled and said, “You’re so kind, Xiao Yu.”
Yu Chen felt sad for some reason.
He wanted to ask him, so do you like me?
But he didn’t dare to ask.
Ling Qing said I want to like you, and he always thought that this was enough.
This was already the most beautiful love story in the world, but he discovered today that it was not.
He wanted to like him because he didn’t like him yet, so he wanted to.
However, he once had feelings for another person.
A person with a very different personality from him.
So it was completely normal for Ling Qing not to like him, because maybe he was not his type at all.
That’s why he needed to work hard and keep getting closer to make him like himself.
Compromising.
Reluctantly.
“Why did you suddenly stop talking?” Ling Qing asked him, “Are you tired?”
Yu Chen said “hmm”, his mind was a little confused, and he didn’t even know what to say.
“Then you should rest for a while. I just miss you, so I wanted to chat with you, but there’s nothing serious to do.”
“I miss you too,” Yu Chen said.
He lowered his eyes and whispered: “I really want to see you.”
Ling Qing smiled instantly, “I will go back as soon as possible, don’t worry.”
“Okay.”
He heard himself say casually, “By the way, I met the old classmate you talked about yesterday at the dinner party.”
Ling Qing sat up suddenly and said in surprise, “Guo Wenhao?”
“What did he say?” Ling Qing was inexplicably timid.
Yu Chen smiled and asked him, “Are you afraid of what we will say?”
“Of course not.” Ling Qing denied, “Just curious.”
“What do you think we will say?” Yu Chen asked.
Ling Qing propped his chin and replied to him, “I don’t think you guys can say anything.”
Yu Chen listened to his words and spoke slowly and gently.
He said, “We really didn’t say anything.”
Ling Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Chen looked at the scenery outside the car, which was full of shadows and busy traffic. In the blink of an eye, the passing scenery had disappeared, and it was impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
He heard himself and Ling Qing say, “I’m not familiar with him.”
They were indeed not familiar with each other, and what Guo Wenhao said might not be credible.
Just like Ling Qing didn’t want to hold the wedding now, maybe Ling Qing didn’t tell him about his so-called love. Everything might be just Guo Wenhao’s own passion and wishful thinking.
Ling Qing wanted to marry him wholeheartedly, and even did not hesitate to force the marriage. After the marriage, he also underwent tremendous changes, and he managed the marriage with him seriously.
He was obviously different from others, and he had clearly said that it was difficult to love him, so how could he fall in love with Guo Wenhao so easily.
Everything might be just a lie made up by Guo Wenhao.
Yu Chen folded these things and kept them in his heart, not wanting to deal with them anymore.
He and Ling Qing chatted for a while, and then he was forced to hang up the phone when his phone was out of battery.
Butler Wang was not asleep yet. When he saw him coming back, he took the coat from him and said to him, “Sit down for a while. Madam just sent me a WeChat message saying that you will be home soon and asked the family to prepare some pear soup. It can relieve hangovers and clear the lungs. I’ll bring you a bowl.”
“Okay.” Yu Chen sat down on the sofa.
The butler filled a bowl and brought it over and placed it in front of him.
Yu Chen was drinking and suddenly asked, “Someone came to see Qing Qing at home yesterday?”
“Yes, Madam’s high school classmate.”
“What did he say?” Yu Chen asked.
The housekeeper didn’t expect him to ask this. Under normal circumstances, Ling Qing would have told him, and he wouldn’t have asked himself.
He didn’t know and couldn’t make any guesses, so he said, “I didn’t say anything. The other party seemed to have just returned from abroad and bought a gift. He said he would give one to my wife, but he didn’t take it and politely refused.”
“No. Anything else?”
“It should be gone.” The steward said, “I was busy at the time and didn’t pay attention.”
Yu Chen nodded slightly.
“What’s the matter?” the housekeeper asked him.
“No.” Yu Chen said, “We just met at the dinner party today.”
“That’s it.” The housekeeper looked at him, “That’s a coincidence. But if you want to know anything, just ask Madam? It’s better than asking me, what can I know?”
Yu Chen looked up at him, thinking that you know a lot.
But he didn’t say anything. He just smiled and said calmly: “Yeah.”
That night, it rained.
It wasn’t raining heavily. Yu Chen was sitting on the small balcony of his bedroom, looking at the rainy scenery outside the window, but he couldn’t remember Ling Qing’s high school days.
He remembered his high school days, Xu Han’s high school days, Huo Qi’s high school days, and even Ling Bai’s high school days, but he couldn’t remember Ling Qing’s high school days.
His high school was a past that he had not participated in. He had no feelings about it before, but today, after being mentioned by Guo Wenhao, he regretted it.
If possible, he wished he had known Ling Qing since high school, or even earlier, in junior high school, elementary school, or kindergarten.
He wanted to have accompanied him through every period of life and every transformation. They would always have each other in their lives, and they will always be each other’s only ones.
But there were no ifs in the world, so now he couldn’t even remember Ling Qing’s high school days.
Not only high school, but all the periods before his marriage, he could not remember or recall.
He missed his most glorious youthful period.
That night, Yu Chen went to bed very late and felt very restless.
The next morning, he contacted Shu Tong and asked him to bring him the photo albums that Ling Qing had left at Ling’s house.
“Do you want them all?”
“Yes.” Yu Chen said, “I want them all.”
“Then I’ll send them to you in the afternoon.”
“At noon.” He said, “Send them over and I’ll treat you to lunch.”
“Yes. I have something to do at noon, so I will arrive at four or five in the afternoon at the earliest.” Shu Tong asked.
Hearing this, Yu Chen gave way and said, “Okay, but remember to send it over as soon as possible. When you are done with your work, you can send it over when you have time.”
“Okay.” Shu Tong agreed.
It wasn’t until he hung up the phone that he suddenly realized that he had no idea where all of Ling Qing’s photo albums were kept!
He had just returned to the Ling family this year. He didn’t know when Ling Qing took photos when he was a child and when he didn’t. What if he missed them?
Shu Tong thought for a while, called Ling Bai and handed the matter over to Ling Bai.
“Anyway, you don’t have class this morning. You go home to sort it out now and send it to your sister-in-law at noon. Do you know?”
“Why don’t you go by yourself?”
“That’s a good question. How would I know how many photos my brother took when he was a child?? Did we go out together or take pictures together? What do you think?”
Ling Bai, who was dissed every day, said: …
Ling Bai covered his face, the key was that he didn’t know either!
He and Ling Qing used to be so at odds with each other. Who knew how many photos Ling Qing took!
