My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Burying the Hatchet, The Old Man’s Spring

“Yes, yes, yes, I am a moron, only a moron would still be madly in love with you after all these years of abstinence!” Yin Bin said fiercely, feeling somewhat frustrated and frazzled, like a broken jar having nothing to lose.

Qin Keqin looked at him, the words on the tip of her tongue suddenly retracted.

Yin Bin stared back at her as if he wanted an answer from her at that very moment.

He told himself not to back down, not to be afraid, no matter what Qin Keqin’s answer was, he had already made up his mind in this lifetime.

Quite suddenly, the two of them fell silent.

Qin Keqin broke the silence, “If you had told me earlier about all the things Lin Ximeng did, we wouldn’t be in this situation now.”

Yin Bin was taken aback.

He pondered the meaning of Qin Keqin’s words.

Was she blaming him for not explaining things to her properly?

Was she blaming him for not finding her sooner?!

He watched Qin Keqin in silence, unable to utter a single word.

Qin Keqin seemed to have no expectations for Yin Bin’s response.

She said, “Let’s go.”

Let’s go.

More than half of their lives had already passed by.

Yin Bin stood there, unmoved.

“I said let’s go, it’s late.” In the past, she would have been in bed by this time.

Yin Bin still did not move, just staring at Qin Keqin, his eyes unwavering.

Qin Keqin became somewhat annoyed.

Even though she was slightly moved by what Yin Bin had said a moment ago, once again she found herself thinking he was an idiot, and they seemed to be on totally different wavelengths.

“Qin Keqin, do you like me?” Yin Bin said.

Qin Keqin was taken aback.

She didn’t expect him to suddenly ask such a question.

“Do you like me?” Yin Bin seemed persistent.

Those words they had once deliberately avoided were all laid bare on the table now.

Against Yin Bin’s rather aggressive demeanor, Qin Keqin replied calmly, “At this old age, who cares about likes or dislikes. Just live out the rest of your life peacefully.”

“I’m not old.” Yin Bin confidently told Qin Keqin

“…” Qin Keqin was speechless.

“I don’t want to spend my life in vain like this, I don’t want to die without knowing whether you like me or not?” Yin Bin suddenly appeared very emotional.

Seeing him like this, Qin Keqin was somewhat startled.

It made her think back to when they were still young.

The first time she saw Yin Bin, she was nearby his college campus.

Back then, she was also a college student, participating in a social club that was conducting a social survey.

She had disguised herself as a heavily pregnant woman, wandering around his school.

She lost her shoelace and couldn’t bend down to tie it, so she kept walking on the street with some difficulty, trying to tie her shoelace but failing to do so on purpose.

Many students passed by her, and almost no one helped her.

Just as they thought the outcome of their investigation would be “human indifference”, a young boy suddenly bent down, placing a book beside her foot. He said, “Don’t move, let me help you.”

Qin Keqin just looked at the young boy.

He was wearing a business suit that seemed more mature than his peers, his hair was neatly combed backward. At an age when everyone else was still wearing sneakers, he was already wearing shiny leather shoes, looking meticulously neat and maturely steady.

He tied a very sturdy knot for her, picked up his book and stood up, and said, “This way your shoelace won’t come loose easily. Be careful when you’re going out alone.”

He left after saying this.

Maybe he hadn’t really noticed what she looked like.

But she was deeply impressed by him.

To put it precisely… it was love at first sight.

Among so many people, he was the only one willing to bend for her.

People are more emotional and sensitive when they are young, just a slight difference can make someone stand out in a crowd, leading to love, a spark of romance.

When their parents arranged the blind date, she recognized him instantly, and knew that she wouldn’t refuse this marriage.

But the blind date didn’t go as smoothly as she imagined, Yin Bin didn’t seem to feel much for her, nor did he recognize her.

She didn’t tell him.

In their era, inter-family marriages were a common occurrence in high society. Unlike normal families, high society was less free. A match in status was essential and had become an unwritten rule. So even if this blind date were a failure, there would be another one. Few people could escape this fate and parental education from childhood led one to feel rebellion was unthinkable. Thus, resistance was highly unlikely.

After that blind date, she sensed from Yin Bin’s reaction that this possibility had probably already been lost.

She even prepared herself to forget him and wait for the next blind date.

However, a month later, Yin Bin took the initiative to invite her for dinner. At that time, she had been accepting her parents’ second arrangement. When she received Yin Bin’s call, she decisively refused the other match.

The second time she had dinner with him, Yin Bin said they should get married soon, if she didn’t mind.

After all.

They were supposed to get married.

She nodded.

To her, marriage was inevitable. Marrying someone she liked was better than marrying someone she didn’t.

So, at the age of 20, and he at 21, they got married.

They hadn’t even graduated from college yet they’d already entered the halls of matrimony.

From confirming their relationship to getting married, it didn’t take more than three months. Their dates were sporadic within these three months, and Qin Keqin could feel that Yin Bin didn’t really like her.

She could understand it.

Cultivating feelings in a political marriage is rare, especially within such a short timeframe, so she never complained and she believed they could take things slowly.

Their first intimate encounter didn’t happen on their wedding night, because Yin Bin got drunk.

He was so drunk, he couldn’t even be helped up.

Since they missed out on their wedding night, it seemed both of them felt a little awkward to bring up the topic.

Their first real intimate encounter as a couple took place a month after their wedding, when they returned to Yin Bin’s parents’ house. His parents suggested they make plans soon to have a child, arguing that a man can only really become mature once he has a child. It would then be safe to hand over the family business to him to manage.

So that night, under the premise of having a child, they became intimate.

The process was not pleasant.

Perhaps it was the lack of deep feelings, or perhaps it was because Yin Bin was too young. Either way, it was not a happy experience.

However.

From the result of that unpleasant night, she got pregnant.

It happened faster than anyone could’ve imagined.

She was still in her sophomore year when she found out about her pregnancy.

She had no choice but to take a break from school.

Yin Bin had started working for the family business, the Milky Way, while also attending classes. However, he spent less time in class and more time at work. She had no idea that Yin Bin had a girlfriend while he was in college. She was under the impression that he was always busy dealing with work matters.

The fact that Yin Bin and his girlfriend were deeply in love and had been forced to break up because of his parents was something completely unknown to her. If she had known about it earlier, she would definitely not have allowed herself to be the third wheel. She would’ve chosen to step back even if Yin Bin probably wouldn’t have ended up with his girlfriend. It thoroughly opposed her values to break up someone else’s relationship, whether that be a romantic or marital one.

The thing she hated the most was now happening to her.

She found out that Yin Bin had had a girlfriend when she was six months pregnant. How did she find out?

She went to Yin Bin’s school one day, as he was giving a speech. It was quite impressive for a student yet to graduate to have already earned a place in the business world. Although Yin Bin’s position was small, it was still a big deal to the students. The school invited him to share his experience of studying and working at the same time, to encourage the students to plan ahead and not be too content with their current situation.

Out of boredom, she decided to go and listen to Yin Bin’s speech.

Despite having been married for quite a while, they didn’t understand each other very well.

Qin Keqin didn’t know what kind of person Yin Bin was. She thought she might find some answers from his speech.

She didn’t tell Yin Bin she was going.

Sitting in the large school auditorium, listening to his passionate speech, she felt somewhat excited.

Yin Bin was indeed more thoughtful and diligent than the average young rich people. This made her feel somewhat proud.

After an hour, the speech was over.

It was time for questions from the audience.

Yin Bin was able to answer every professional question asked.

However, some more exuberant students, deviated from the norm.

A student asked, “Yin, senior, is it true that you are married?”

“Indeed, I am.” Yin Bin answered.

“I heard the person you married is not Lin Ximeng?”

That was the first time Qin Keqin heard the name “Lin Ximeng”.

And that was a name she would not soon forget.

Her womanly intuition immediately told her who “Lin Ximeng” was to Yin Bin.

“Let’s respect personal privacy. Further inquiries might tarnish my shining image in your hearts.” Yin Bin humorously redirected the topic.

The atmosphere at the event was pleasant throughout.

Until the end.

People trickled out until no one was left.

Qin Keqin chose to stay behind in the auditorium.

On one hand, she was somewhat emotional, on the other, she was pregnant, which made her anxious in crowded places. So, she only left the auditorium after everyone else had left.

Outside the auditorium, she unexpectedly ran into Yin Bin.

Yin Bin noticed her as well, his lack of surprise suggesting that he had been waiting for her.

Had he noticed her earlier?

Yin Bin approached her, “Why did you come if you’re pregnant?”

His tone was somewhat accusatory.

“Staying at home is too boring, I wanted to get out.” She replied.

“Next time you want to come, let me know first. There are many people here, what if someone bumps into you?”

Qin Keqin nodded in agreement.

“Let’s leave. I’ll take you back.” Yin Bin offered his arm to her.

Even though they weren’t deeply in love, they still showed each other the respect a married couple should.

Just as they were about to leave, a girl suddenly appeared before them.

Upon the first glance, although she had never met this person before, Qin Keqin knew that this girl standing before them was Lin Ximeng.

Indeed, it was Lin Ximeng.

Lin Ximeng spoke to Yin Bin, keeping a modest distance, and expressed herself comfortably, “Your presentation today was impressive. You’re the subject of discussion among the students. They say you’re our school’s sports hero, full of charm.”

Yin Bin gave a cold nod, not uttering a word.

Lin Ximeng apparently didn’t find this awkward. She, still cheerful, asked, “Will it be a while before you return to the school?”

“I’m too busy with work,” Yin Bin responded.

“I see,” she said, sounding a little disappointed, but instantly rediscovered her enthusiasm. With one flick of her eyes, she turned her gaze onto Qin Keqin.

In a glance that seemed casual, Qin Keqin recognized that the woman was sizing her up.

“So, you’re Mrs. Yin?” Lin Ximeng asked.

Yin Bin nodded slightly at her.

“Just as intelligent and talented as I’d imagined,” Lin Ximeng introduced herself with a smile, “I’m Yin Bin’s classmate, Lin Ximeng.”

Qin Keqin gave her a small smile, “Pleased to meet you.”

“Yin Bin is rather well-liked amongst our school’s female students. Please take good care of him on our behalf,” Lin Ximeng joked, creating an artificial closeness.

“Of course,” was Qin Keqin’s prompt response.

Just as Lin Ximeng was about to say something else,

Yin Bin promptly cut her off, “We must leave soon.”

Lin Ximeng nodded and smiled, “Alright, next time you return, let me know. We should have a meal together.”

“We’ll see about that next time,” Yin Bin responded.

He then draped his arm over Qin Keqin’s shoulder, and they left.

Qin Keqin instinctively looked back over her shoulder.

At that moment, she caught a glimpse of sheer hatred in Lin Ximeng’s eyes!

Returning home, she did not ask Yin Bin about Lin Ximeng. Had this been earlier, she might have chosen to break up with Yin Bin, but they were already married, and she was pregnant with their child. Leaving him wasn’t an option anymore, so she chose to remain silent.

After all, Yin Bin had already ended his relationship with the other woman. What good could her questioning do?

Rather than pondering over this, she should focus on their future life together.

That’s what she thought.

She had never considered that Yin Bin would reconnect with Lin Ximeng. In her mind, she would never engage in extramarital affairs. Once she decided to marry, it meant committing to one person for life, regardless of whether love existed or not. She would never stoop to commit such an ethically reprehensible act, and she believed Yin Bin wouldn’t either. Hence, Yin Bin’s past girlfriends had never been a concern to her.

Until, one night, Yin Bin didn’t return home for the first time.

No matter how busy he had been in the past, he always returned home, even if it was late into the night. But that night, he left and never came back.

As the heavy rain lashed against the window, she realized that she had been waiting for him for a long time.

What she received instead was a text message.

A message from Lin Ximeng. It said that Yin Bin was with her and he wouldn’t be coming home that night. She told Qin Keqin not to wait for him.

She enclosed a picture with her message.”

It was an explicit picture of a hotel room.

Yin Bin was seen sleeping on the bed in the picture, with only the lower part of his body covered by a sheet, baring his upper body bearing the name of the hotel.

Qin Keqin just stared at it.

What was she feeling at that moment? She barely remembered.

All she remembered was that after receiving the message, she didn’t go back to bed. Instead, she changed her clothes and went out in the stormy weather. After waking up the driver at home, she asked him to drive her to the mentioned hotel. Upon reaching, she didn’t go in but stayed outside for the night. By dawn, as rain ceased, she saw Yin Bin and Lin Ximeng, looking exhausted, emerging from the hotel.

She opened the car door and stood in front of them.

She vaguely saw the panic in Yin Bin’s eyes followed by an absolute silence.

She asked him if he still wanted the child.

At that time.

She was eight months pregnant.

When Yin Bin heard her question, he exploded. “Have you gone mad?!” he exclaimed.

She wasn’t, simply.

She was just trying to facilitate.

And she knew so well that after that night, when Yin Bin spent an entire night with another woman in a hotel room, their marriage was ruined.

Every bit of a blissful marriage she had been dreaming of ceased to exist after that.

At least there was none between her and Yin Bin anymore.

She calmly got back into the car and left.

It indeed was very calm.

She even doubted if she had ever been in love with Yin Bin. How else could she be so calm?

Upon later reflection, she concluded that she was probably so deeply hurt that she became detached.

It must have been a case of extremities reversing, she reckoned.

Upon returning home, she took a bath and went to bed.

Later, Yin Bin also returned.

He did not mention a thing about Lin Ximeng. The woman seemed to have completely disappeared from their lives for quite some time.

And with her disappearance, so did their marriage.

She moved out of their nuptial room, and Yin Bin didn’t attempt to stop her.

While they still lived under one roof, they turned into two strangers.

He didn’t give her any explanation, nor did she seek any answers from him.

And so, half a life has passed.

And so, we’ve reached this age.

She quietly watched Yin Bin.

Watched as Yin Bin intently gazed back at her.

Scenes from the past played in her mind like a movie.

She thought she saw things clearly and had genuinely moved on.

Yet surprisingly, she still harbored lingering feelings.

“That’s not important anymore,” she said.

“Qin Keqin.” Yin Bin grabbed her hand firmly, feeling that her demeanor resembled too much of their past when they were like two strangers under the same roof. He had enough of that lifestyle.

He had had enough, long ago.

He said, “I like you, I like you, I like you!”

His voice was filled with urgency, resounding loudly.

As though he was terrified she wouldn’t hear it.

Even his eyes welled up as he confessed, “I remember perfectly how during a university speech, though there were so many people, my eyes surprisingly found you first. Seeing you sitting there beneath the stage, I felt inexplicably happy…”

Qin Keqin looked at Yin Bin.

Unbelievably, he still remembered all that.

“I regret it, Qin Keqin, I really do. Every time I wanted to approach you but restrained myself due to my damned egotism. Even after doing something wrong with Lin Ximeng, I’ve regretted it immensely and wanted to apologize and earn your forgiveness. I wouldn’t have acted so nonchalant if you didn’t seem so dismissive. But my damn self-esteem kept me silent and made us pass by each other time and time again, gradually widening the distance between us.”

Qin Keqin didn’t respond.

She continued her silence.

Yin Bin clung to her hand tightly, “I don’t need you to like me. I don’t need you to like me right now. Just give me a chance to love you properly. Let us start over. I promise to be a perfect husband.”

Qin Keqin watched as Yin Bin’s eyes filled with tears.

She never thought she’d see the day when Yin Bin would grovel before her.

“I beg you,” Yin Bin pleaded.

There was a sharp pain in Qin Keqin’s chest.

A truly excruciating pain.

In truth,

In truth, if they could have had this conversation years ago, no matter how much she despised all that happened between Yin Bin and Lin Ximeng, she wouldn’t have been indifferent to him for life. After all, she once loved him, really loved him.

An eerie silence enveloped them once again.

Yin Bin kept looking at her, incessantly.

Just when he thought he might have truly missed his chance, when he thought Qin Keqin would never forgive him in this lifetime, as he was losing all hope, he suddenly heard her say, “Okay.”

Just one word, “Okay.”

It felt like the most beautiful word he’d ever heard in the world.

He was so elated that he wanted to jump in joy.

His eyes instantly filled with tears of emotion.

Barely noticing them, he was unaware of his own vulnerable state until they fell.

He suddenly pulled Qin Keqin into his arms.

Held her tight.

Qin Keqin quietly nestled into his embrace.

In truth, she wasn’t as calm as she appeared to be. She wasn’t as indifferent as she thought herself to be. Her emotions were fluctuating wildly, and her heart was racing.

They held each other for a long time.

Reluctantly, Yin Bin let go of her.

He let go of her reluctantly, but he didn’t rush to leave her side.

He simply stood there gazing at Qin Keqin, the woman he loved so deeply.

He leaned in.

Leaning in for a kiss.

But Qin Keqin quickly deflected him.

Yin Bin looked at her.

“What are you doing?” A stern look appeared on Qin Keqin’s face.

“I was going to kiss you,” he replied, as if it were the most natural thing to do.

Qin Keqin coldly retorted, “Can you act appropriately?”

“I am. I genuinely want to kiss you,” Yin Bin reaffirmed righteously.

Qin Keqin’s face darkened.

Yin Bin said, “I’m 48 this year.”

So what?!

“In my lifetime, I want to…” Yin Bin smirked, “…pay in kind!”

“Slap!” Qin Keqin landed a firm slap on Yin Bin’s forehead.

Yin Bin winced, “What are you doing?!”

“Don’t misuse idioms if you don’t understand them!” Qin Keqin snapped. “Yin Bin, is your idea of starting over simply about resuming spousal rights?”

“No…” Yin Bin replied, but as soon as he spoke he realized he might have misspoken, “Well, that’s an important part too.”

Qin Keqin’s face turned livid.

Yin Bin looked at her, fearfully asking, “Did I say something wrong?”

Isn’t that the truth when a man likes a woman, really likes a woman?

“Damn it, you’re indeed a moron!” Qin Keqin was furious.

Furious, she threw Yin Bin off her.

Yin Bin was left utterly confused.

What on earth did he do wrong?!

“Drive, let’s go home!” Qin Keqin ordered.

“Can I have a kiss before we go?” Isn’t that the ritual of getting back together?!

“Drive!” Qin Keqin yelled.

“Hey, can you be gentle? Think of your child’s education.” Yin Bin surrendered, muttering, “Your sister Yin Qin said there is a good chance you’ll have a daughter. She can’t be as hot-tempered as you…”

“And she shouldn’t be as idiotic as you either!” Qin Keqin said bitterly.

“I have a very high IQ,” Yin Bin rebutted, feeling a bit vexed, “I think Yin Qin’s IQ is low because of you…”

“Yin Bin!”

“I’ll start driving now, calm down.” Yin Bin conceded, “I’m the one with the low IQ. I’m the one who passed the low IQ to Yin Qin.”

As he spoke, he reached out to rub Qin Keqin’s belly.

Qin Keqin frowned.

Yin Bin’s soft voice said, “Little darling, you must inherit well. Don’t lean too far off course like your older brother.”

“…”

Yin Qin let out a sneeze while lying in his bed.

Damn.

He wasn’t cold, was he?!

Mumbling, he turned over and held Luo Xiaolang even tighter.

Yin Bin returned to the driver’s seat.

He drove them back home.

His mood was elated, and he hummed a tune as he drove.

Qin Keqin was speechless.

She covered her stomach and silently prayed: My child, please don’t inherit your father’s tone deafness.

All the way, Yin Bin seemed exceptionally excited.

He parked the car and then helped Qin Keqin out.

Qin Keqin tried to break free of his hold, yet failed.

Yin Bin put on a face of self-satisfied success.

It was already quite late, everyone else was asleep.

The two of them returned to the room together.

Looking at Yin Bin’s self-possessed appearance in her room, Qin Keqin held back her annoyance.

Yin Bin was very proactive, fetching a basin of water from the bathroom. He got Qin Keqin to sit on the sofa and took off her shoes for her, then helped her wash her feet.

Deep down, Qin Keqin was somewhat touched.

She watched Yin Bin washing her feet dedicatedly, without any sign of distaste…

Women tend to get moved by little things, and she was no exception.

After washing her feet for quite a while, Yin Bin lifted Qin Keqin’s feet out of the basin, placed them on his lap and started wiping them. After drying them, he suddenly gave her foot a quick kiss.

Her heart skipped a beat.

After the kiss, Yin Bin murmured, “It’s been too long, even a pig’s trotter seems delicious…”

All the affection in Qin Keqin’s heart evaporated in an instant.

She was so furious that she was shaking, and she kicked Yin Bin’s face hard.

Yin Bin, who was originally squatting over, got knocked down onto his butt by Qin Keqin’s sudden bout of strength, looking utterly confused.

Qin Keqin put on her shoes and went straight back to bed.

Yin Bin didn’t get angry either. He got up from the ground, dumped the foot-washing water, and then scurried off to take another bath.

He had already bathed earlier, but he just couldn’t bear how dirty the clothing was. Moreover, he didn’t want to be filthy when sleeping with Qin Keqin.

After his bath, he thought Qin Keqin would be sleeping, but instead, he saw her sitting on the bed typing on her lightweight laptop.

Yin Bin instantly felt thrilled.

He rushed over and grabbed her laptop, “You’re exposing our daughter to radiation like this!”

“Haven’t you brushed up on your knowledge?” Qin Keqin was at a loss for words.

Yin Bin was startled, realizing she was right.

Just as he was about to hand back the laptop, he suddenly closed it, “How can you play with the computer so late? It will disturb our daughter’s rest.”

Qin Keqin was speechless.

“Go to bed early.” Yin Bin said as he moved to close the laptop.

As he closed the laptop, he saw the large words on the screen: “Married Life, Three Rules!”

Reading that, he suddenly burst into laughter.

His laughter was radiant and unrestrained.

Qin Keqin frowned.

Was this guy really a fool? What was there to laugh about?

Only Yin Bin knew how blissful he felt upon seeing the words “marriage.”

“I’ve been thinking, since we’re starting over, we should establish three rules. Otherwise, I’m afraid one day you’ll do something that will infuriate me.” Qin Keqin expressed straightforwardly.

Yin Bin seriously replied, “How could that happen? I could barely find time to love you let alone make you angry!”

Qin Keqin rolled her eyes at Yin Bin.

Yin Bin gave in, “Alright, whatever you say.”

Qin Keqin said, “I’ll dictate, you write. Once it’s done, print it out tomorrow, sign it, and stamp it with our handprints.”

“Is that necessary…Alright!”

Qin Keqin pursed her lips and said, “First, while pregnant, do nothing that harms the baby.”

As he typed, Yin Bin responded, “Of course.”

“To be blunt, we must refrain from getting too intimate.”

Yin Bin looked at Qin Keqin.

Qin Keqin glared at him, “What are you gawking at, keep writing.”

With great dissatisfaction, Yin Bin continued to type.

“Second, unless mutually agreed, refrain from overly intimate actions. This includes: 1. Kissing, which includes all parts of the body, not just the lips; 2. Hugging; 3. Holding hands.”

“Third, don’t be overly exposed in each other’s presence. The standard for exposure is no bare upper bodies and no underwear only. Like right now, your wrapping yourself in only a towel constitutes a serious violation of the agreement!”

“Fourth, sleeping together is allowed. However…no body contact is permitted. In other words, we can sleep on the same bed but not on the same pillow. I’m not comfortable snuggling too close. I fear having nightmares.”

“Fifth, no fooling around with the opposite sex. If extramarital affairs happen again, divorce is the only option!”

“Would I be so stupid to cheat inside my own marriage.” Yin Bin muttered while typing.

“The definition of marital infidelity is: you can’t have any physical contact with other women, can’t maintain excessive eye contact with other women, and can’t have improper conversations with other women.”

“Sixth, no snoring during sleep.”

As Yin Bin typed, there was an emotional clatter from the keyboard.

“I have poor sleep quality! If I’m having insomnia and you are snoring beside me, I’m afraid I might kill you.”

Yin Bin looked at Qin Keqin.

Qin Keqin said, “Seventh…”

Dear lord, there’s more!

“Seventh, don’t force me to do anything. Even though I am pregnant, I still have my own freedom. You can’t tell me what I can or can’t do, what I can or can’t eat! I’m not exactly thrilled to carry your child again, but since she’s a girl, I won’t make a big fuss with you. I know how to protect her.”

Yin Bin continued to hammer away at the keyboard.

Typing very loudly.

“Eighth.” Qin Keqin said, pausing for a moment, “That’s all I can think of for now. Any additions will be made when I think of them.”

Yin Bin lifted his hands from the keyboard.

“Why did you stop?” Qin Keqin raised an eyebrow.

“Didn’t you say you’d add more when you think of something?”

“That sentence should be added too! What if you refuse to recognize it later?!”

You win!

Yin Bin added that sentence, too.

“That’s all. If either of us fails to adhere to these rules—with no warnings, no chance for improvement—we’ll head straight for the divorce bureau.”

You’re a tough one!

Yin Bin typed it down, clearly not pleased.

“Save it.” Qin Keqin reminded.

Yin Bin saved the document.

“Now we can sleep. Don’t forget to turn off the lights.” Qin Keqin said.

Qin Keqin lay down on her bed.

As she turned to face away from Yin Bin, a smile broke out on her face.

She had thought that’s how her life would be, cold and silent till the end.

She never imagined she would have another chance to fall in love at this age.

Yin Bin shut the laptop and turned off the light.

Naturally, his body moved closer to hers.

“What does the fourth rule say?!” Qin Keqin fumed.

“Qin Keqin, business is all about the contract being enforced! The contract isn’t in effect yet, what can you do to me?” Yin Bin cunningly retorted.

She had the impulse to curse.

“Sleep.” Yin Bin held her in his arms.

With a face full of contentment.

Cunning and treacherous old fox! Qin Keqin was both speechless and exasperated.
