Chapter 33: Go back and be with Qin Nian Ge?

  Lai Yueying looked at her and saw a few more black lines flash across his face: "Eat your vegetables!"

  "Yes..." Qin Nian Ge hastily responded with a sound, and then picked up a piece of ribs from the plate on the table.

  But possibly because she was too nervous, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pick up that piece of pork rib.

  It was easy to pick up, and then it rolled off her chopsticks.

  "How about you just drop dead?" Lei Ying's voice was low and stern, as he reached out to grab the chopsticks from her hand, successfully picking up a piece of pork rib and holding it to her mouth: "Here, eat quickly!"

  Qin Nian Ge didn't expect him to feed himself by hand, and he stared at him in a daze.

  Lian Ying hadn't realized how intimate her actions were, seeing that she wouldn't eat, he simply took the rice bowl out of her hands and directly took on the task of feeding her himself.

  "Hurry up and eat!"

  Under his orders, Qin Nian finally took a bite of her first mouthful of food for tonight.

  And Lai Rongyi probably also had her first time in this life... feeding others.

  Aunt Lan glanced back at them stealthily before leaving, a faint, very light smile spreading across her lips...

  In front of Liang Yiwu, Qin Niange felt extremely nervous even when eating by herself, let alone now that Xiao Shao was actually feeding her with his own hands.

  Qin Nian Ge devoted almost all his energy to eating, staring intently at the chopsticks in Lian Yi's hand, as soon as they were brought to his mouth he would hurriedly open his mouth, after shoving them in he would hastily chew and swallow, afraid that by the time Lian Yi fed him the next bite, he still hadn't finished this one.

  But Lai Yueying looked at her terrified expression, and suddenly thought of a little rabbit holding a carrot and making a "wu wu" sound, and his heart also softened.

  These two people, one tense and one soft-hearted, surprisingly didn't notice that they were doing something that their past selves would never have dared to believe would happen between each other.

  Not to mention before, even ten minutes ago, Qin Nian Ge would not have dared to imagine that Li Xue would actually stoop to feed her.

  Until Qin Nian Ge finished eating the white rice in her bowl, Lai Yue Yi held the empty bowl and saw that she was staring at him with her dark eyes, only then did he suddenly realize what he had just done, his face was instantly covered with black lines again.

  He really couldn't understand how he ended up feeding her the whole bowl of rice.

  Seeing Qin Nian Ge's bright red face again, Li Xue Yi became even more uncomfortable. He abruptly put the bowl on the table beside him and spoke in a loud and rough tone: "I'm just bored! Don't think too much about it!"

  Qin Nian Ge was taken aback for a moment, the red glow on her face suddenly faded a bit, but she could only obediently nod: "I know."

  But seeing her so sensible, Lei Xue's heart seemed to have a stuffy air, and nothing felt smooth.

  He snorted in anger and got up, walking out of the door without looking back at her again.

  Qin Niange looked at his back, her heart aching involuntarily. She covered her chest, only to realize that just now, although she had been tense all along, there was also a hint of sweetness in her heart.

  But Lianyi's departure... also took away the sweetness in her heart.

  She let out a sigh, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, enduring the pain all over her body as she walked to the desk, picked up that notebook again.

  She casually flipped through it and turned the book to its latest page, which was still blank with nothing drawn on it.

  Qin Nian Ge picked up the pencil, lowered her head and scribbled on the paper, with just a few strokes, Lei Ying's appearance was already vividly depicted on the paper.

  The faint smile on his lips, as he stood there with the paper in hand, was completely devoid of the scorn and disdain he usually reserved for Qin Nian Ge.

  It's possible that even he himself didn't notice, but just now when Li Xiangyi was feeding Qin Nianqiao food, there was this smile on his face...

  It's been two years since he came to the Li family, this... is still his first time showing such a simple and gentle smile.

  Qin Nian Ge was really afraid that if he didn't draw it down in time, he would never see this smile blooming on his face again.

  Qin Nian Ge let out a soft sigh, gazing seriously at the handsome face on the painting paper. Her slender fingers couldn't help but gently sweep across Lei Xue's face, as if doing so would allow her to truly touch his cheeks and eyebrows.

  "Wings... how much longer can I stay by your side?" Qin Nian Ge asked softly, addressing the person on the screen by name this time.

  Perhaps in her innermost heart, what she yearns for most is still the person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

  But how is it possible?

  Let's not mention her identity here, just the hatred that Lian Yiwu had for her was enough to create an insurmountable chasm between them forever.

  Although they couldn't get close, yet there was such an intimate relationship between them.

  Obviously loves him so much, but... yet can never enter his heart forever.

  Qin Nian Ge felt as if there was a huge hole in her heart, and the cold wind blowing from outside made her involuntarily curl up on the chair.

  Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door again, she hastily turned her head around, but the person who came in was actually Lan's aunt.

  Perhaps it was her expected appearance that was too obvious, and a hint of helpless worry flashed in Lan's eyes.

  Qin Niange's face turned red, and she hastily stood up from her chair: "Aunt Lan."

  Aunt Lan nodded to her and walked towards the head of the bed: "I'll come over to collect the bowls and chopsticks, you've eaten very neatly, it seems that young master has not failed my entrustment."

  Aunt Lan's words made Qin Nian Ge think of what had just happened again, and her heartbeat suddenly became irregular.

  She hastily got up and walked towards the bedside table: "I'll clean up, it's so late, Lan auntie should also rest early."

  Usually, Ping didn't like others to come to the main building. Although someone would come over periodically to clean, most of the household chores were left to Lan's aunt alone.

  Qin Nian Ge is very busy with her studies, but she always makes time to help Lan Ayi with some things that are within her power.

  If it weren't for her mind being preoccupied with something else just now, she wouldn't have been delayed until now even if it were just a matter of picking up bowls and chopsticks.

  But this time, Lan's aunt stopped her by holding out her hand: "Forget it, you rest well today. I'll just take the bowl back and the rest will be taken care of tomorrow."

  Hearing Lan Auntie say so, Qin Nian Ge also stopped declining and put away her hands, standing to the side: "Then I'll trouble you, Lan Auntie."

  Aunt Lan nodded again, gathered up the empty bowls and chopsticks, and carried them out of the door.

  But just after taking two steps, her footsteps began to wander and finally came to a slow stop: "Miss..."

  Qin Nian Ge sensed something was off and couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled: "Huh? Aunt Lan, is there something else?"

  "Aunt Lan turned her head, looking at her with apologetic eyes: 'Miss... I couldn't stop the young master from... anyway, I'm very sorry.'"

  Although Aunt Lan only said half of what she meant, Qin Nian Ge understood what she was getting at.

  She lowered her head in a cramped manner, tightly twisting her fingers: "Lan auntie, this... has nothing to do with you. Even if you stop him, Yuanye brother will still... and I... I..."

  Due to shyness, Qin Nian Ge ultimately did not say the words "I do" but believed that Lan's mother had already understood her intentions.

  Lan's aunt let out a deep sigh and wanted to say something else to her, but still closed her mouth.

  She carried a tray and quickly walked out of Qin Nian Ge's room, not forgetting to close the door for her.

  Qin Nian Ge slowly sat back onto the bed alone, her hands also slowly wrapping around her knees, curling herself into a ball.

  She knew that her relationship with Li Xue was something even Lan's aunt would find abnormal.

  This kind of relationship that is despised by the world will never be able to be exposed in the sunlight, and can only slowly disappear bit by bit with the passage of time.

  And what she called willingness was probably like a moth flying into fire, which would ultimately destroy herself...

  That night, Qin Nian Ge tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

  The room next door had also been quiet all along.

  Li Xue never came back...

  It should have been a long time since she got used to his overnight stays, but Qin Nian Ge still felt that her heart was empty because of this.

  Why do people always covet things they can't possibly have?

  If she could let go of her attachment to Lian Yi, would she be a little happier?

  "Well then, let's wish for a pleasant cooperation!" Li Xueyi signed the documents in his hand and directly handed over his own copy to his assistant Xu Yunquan sitting beside him.

  And beside him, the translator also began to translate word by word for the Italian boss with a big belly.

  After a night of negotiations, the cooperative project finally settled, and Li Huiying and the Italian stood up, shook hands and bid farewell.

  Next, the matter of serving customers would not require Lian Yiwu to come in person, so he quickly walked out of the hotel suite with Xu Yun Chuan, beaming with joy.

  "No need to send me off, I'll drive myself back." Lai Huaiyi spoke up before they even reached the elevator leading to the underground parking garage.

  "Yes, President." Although Lei Xue had already become the chairman of the Lei Group, Xu Yun still habitually addressed him as "President" after following him for five years.

  Looking at the smile between Lai's eyebrows and eyes, Xu Yun Chuan couldn't help but speak up: "President seems to be in a very good mood today, did something good happen?"

  The two were waiting for the elevator, and Lai Yue was adjusting his collar in front of the mirror on the elevator door when he asked, "Do I look very happy?"
