"I'm saying whatever you want, the merchants will give, showing full sincerity. Old Mrs. Shang worries herself sick over your matters every day. Mom just wants you to be sensible, that's all."
"Do you see your daughter as a materialistic person?"
"No." Xia Lanqing denied, but then added, "However, if you have no money, it won't work."
Her daughter had been pampered with money since she was little, getting whatever she wanted, never denied anything.
If she had to live a life of poverty one day, she wouldn't be able to bear it.
Qin Yige didn't want to argue with her, even though she was speaking the truth.
"I want to eat properly. Can you stop mentioning Shang Cheng, Shang Cheng, in my ear?"
"You eat. After you're done, I'll have the driver take you back."
"..."
Looking at the table full of dishes, Qin Yige suddenly lost her appetite.
As expected, a married daughter is like spilled water. It's too real!
Qin Yige stayed at home in the evening and didn't leave. She didn't want to go, and Xia Lanqing couldn't possibly kick her out.
After showering, Qin Yige received a message from Wen Shuyao.
At this hour, what could Wen Shuyao want with her?
With a hint of doubt, she opened their chat window. Wen Shuyao had sent her a video.
Qin Yige opened it. It was a scene from a TV drama. A popular male star, dressed in a black waistcoat and white shirt, his hands bound, was kneeling in a basement.
As soon as the video finished, before Qin Yige could even drool, Wen Shuyao sent another voice message.
"Cousin, isn't he handsome? Isn't he handsome?"
Qin Yige: "He's drop-dead gorgeous!"
"Quick, tell your brother-in-law to film you like this!"
"???"
"Why the question marks? Tell brother-in-law to film you kneeling in a suit! I'm so excited, I really want to see it."
Qin Yige clicked on the voice message. "What are you, a child, watching kneeling in a suit? No way!"
Even if there was, he was her husband, and she wouldn't let a child see it.
"Cousin, why are you so stingy? Is it that brother-in-law won't kneel for you?"
Qin Yige didn't know if Shang Cheng would kneel, but she did know this: "If you don't go to sleep, I'll kick you out."
Wen Shuyao had early reading the next morning, and it was almost ten o'clock, yet she was still playing on her phone.
"Tch, stingy ghost!"
Hmph, stingy is stingy. Qin Yige didn't care what she said.
However...
She watched the video again, and her mind began to paint a picture of Shang Cheng kneeling in a suit.
Hiss—
He would definitely be so handsome it would make her scream.
But that dog man was very difficult to deal with, he would never film something like this for her.
And he had been away on a business trip for days, not even sending a single message, as if his wife didn't exist.
She had initially thought of sending this message to him, but thinking about it, Qin Yige decided against it.
She couldn't be the one always reaching out to him.
For the next three to four days, they were both busy with their own affairs.
Besides her work, Qin Yige also had time to meet up with her friends.
When she arrived at the agreed-upon location, she found out that one of her girlfriends had also brought Tang Anruo.
Seeing Qin Yige appear, a few of her girlfriends happily pulled her over to sit down, "Yige, you're finally here."
"It's too hard to see our Mrs. Shang these days!"
"Yige, the clothes you're wearing are from LP, right? And this bag, wow, it's their limited edition!"
Qin Yige smiled at their questions, "Mm, I suppose so."
She had too many clothes and had forgotten the brand. She just felt they suited her mood and aesthetic for the day, so she wore them.
Besides, if it was really LP clothing, Shang Cheng had bought it for her. With so many outfits, she couldn't remember them all.
Tang Anruo seized the opportunity and spoke proactively, "Yige, why aren't you talking to me?"
Qin Yige replied directly, "Tang Anruo, if I had known you were coming today, I wouldn't have come."
Her words made the atmosphere a little awkward. Tang Anruo forced a smile, "You're still angry about what happened last time, aren't you? You didn't reply to my messages, and you didn't answer my calls. What do you expect me to do?"
"Isn't my meaning clear enough? We shouldn't associate with each other anymore." Qin Yige picked up her coffee and took a sip.
"Yige, I'm sorry. I was scared that night. I also know you have bodyguards, that's why I left first."
Tang Anruo was referring to the incident at the bar that night. As soon as Qin Yige got into trouble with that man, she had immediately abandoned the drunk Qin Yige and ran.
Qin Yige couldn't be bothered to argue with her. She had known what kind of person Tang Anruo was from the beginning. If Tang Anruo hadn't actively sought her out time and again, and if it wasn't difficult for her to refuse, she wouldn't have associated with her at all.
"Yige, you also need to put yourself in my shoes. You have Mr. Shang protecting you now, but I don't. I don't even have a boyfriend. If I had gotten involved with him, what if he retaliated against me later?" The woman looked distressed.
Qin Yige: "Let's not bring this up again. It's in the past!"
Fortunately, Shang Cheng had arrived later, and she was fine. Furthermore, Shang Cheng had resolved all the subsequent issues.
Tang Anruo grabbed her hand, "Then will you still come out for drinks with me in the future?"
"It's not that I won't accompany you, but I'll be going to bars less often. My mother nags me all the time, and I don't want to hear her nagging anymore." She said, then subtly withdrew her hand.
Tang Anruo was stimulated by her reaction and became a little angry. She had apologized repeatedly, yet Qin Yige still refused to forgive her.
She had just married Shang Cheng, hadn't she?
If she hadn't reluctantly given Shang Cheng to her, Qin Yige wouldn't have had the chance to become Mrs. Shang.
The few girlfriends exchanged glances and started to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, Anruo, you're really something. Yige said it's in the past, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Yige, the ring on your finger is so beautiful. Did Mr. Shang buy it for you?"
Qin Yige: "You could say that!"
Although she had gone out and bought it herself, Shang Cheng was the one who paid, so it counted as him buying it for her.
Seeing how they were flattering Qin Yige, Tang Anruo felt a surge of intense jealousy. Why did she, Qin Yige, deserve this?
Didn't she marry Shang Cheng today because of her generosity and willingness to step aside from the love triangle, allowing Qin Yige to successfully marry Shang Cheng?
Thinking of this, she suddenly asked, "Yige, why is Secretary Chen still following Mr. Shang? You're married now, shouldn't she be excused from duty?"
A thorn quietly pierced Qin Yige's heart. She replied, feigning indifference, "Secretary Chen has been following him for so many years. It's not like she can be transferred away immediately. However, Shang Cheng is planning to transfer Chen Ling away from his side." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Heh, how could she be deceiving herself?
When had Shang Cheng ever told her he was going to transfer Chen Ling away? It was purely a fabrication to save face.
"Is that so? No wonder I saw Chen Ling accompanying Mr. Shang to meet clients just now."
Qin Yige suddenly looked at her, grasping the key point in her words: "Just now, you saw?"
Tang Anruo didn't know what she was specifically concerned about, only that she had succeeded in provoking her. Her previously angry mood felt a little more comfortable. "Yes. On my way here, I personally saw Chen Ling accompanying Mr. Shang into a coffee shop."
