Chapter 9: "Young master and madam are hugging and kissing."

Chapter Nine:

Qing Ling put down her coffee cup and stood up, "I'll explain this to your young master, don't worry, it's not what you think."

"That's better."

"I don't mind if you tell your young master about today's conversation, but it's limited to him as well, is that okay?"

"Don't worry ma'am, I'm not the talkative type either."

"This I believe." Qing Ling smiled at him, "I'm going back, I'd like some curry tonight, thanks."

"Okay." Jia Guan said respectfully.

Chen Yu came back from work in the afternoon and smelled a strong curry odor.

Jia Guan reported to him on some family matters, mentioning in passing that Bai Ling had come to see Qing Ling in the afternoon.

Chen Yu frowned, didn't say anything, and went back to his room to change his clothes.

When he went downstairs again and walked into the dining room, he found Qing Ling already seated on a dining chair.

"Sit." Qing Ling raised her chin.

Chen Yu sat down across from him and asked, " Bai Xiao came this afternoon?"

"Coming."

"Told you what?"

Qing Ling looked at him with a calm face, "Said you liked him, said you were affectionate, said he was thoughtless, said he wanted to have dinner with you and me."

Chen Yu: ......

Chen Yu felt a headache.

"So what do you say?"

"What I said was much more powerful than what he said." Qing Ling looked at him, "Want to hear it? Come here if you want to hear it."

"Just say it."

"That won't do, I told you I said something strong, it's not good to talk like that over the walls and be overheard."

Chen Yu looked at him suspiciously, "What exactly did you say?"

Qing Ling beckoned him over, "Come here and I'll tell you."

Chen Yu didn't move.

Qing Ling saw that he didn't move and didn't move herself, looking at him with a calm face.

Chen Yu couldn't, so he just walked over and bent down closer to him, "Say it."

Qing Ling reached out and hooked her hand around his neck, pressing him in her direction and whispered, "I said I liked him, and I exposed him to a shocking secret."

"What secret?"

" Bai Xiao is not our child."

Chen Yu was shocked and looked at him incredulously, " Qing Ling , this is not something to be said."

"Would I say such a thing without proof?"

Chen Yu was puzzled, "How did you know?"

Qing Ling had already thought of something to say, "I was lost by my mom once when I was little, and then I was found again, but I was too small, and as you know, kids all look alike, so my mom suspected that I was just something my dad casually carried back to appease her, not her real son."

"A while ago before we got married, I went to get a paternity test for all of our family. The test came back that I'm related to both my parents, but not to Bai Xiao, so I knew."

Chen Yu was silent for a split second, "Do you still have the appraisal report?"

"Of course I didn't keep it, what's the point of keeping that, I'll burn it all in one fire."

"So it's only been a couple days since you found out."

That's for sure. He didn't just cross over in the last two days.

"Right." Qing Ling looked at him, "This is something that, right now, Heaven knows, you know, I know, Bai Xiao knows, Wang Jia Guan knows, and just a few of us know."

"How would Uncle Wang know?"

"He was out getting something, so he heard it." Qing Ling explained, "But he promised me he wouldn't tell anyone."

Chen Yu nodded, "It is indeed inappropriate for too many people to know about this."

Qing Ling shrugged, "Look, I don't care. But when you're not busy in a few days, I might need you to help me look into what happened back then."

"You want your own brother?"

" Bai Xiao now knows that he's not biological, so it's only fair that my brother should know about it too, isn't it?"

"What happened back then, as of this moment, both of them are innocent because they don't know anything. So they both have the right to know the truth so they can think better about their future don't they?"

Chen Yu couldn't help but look at him again when he heard this.

Qing Ling was puzzled by his look and reached out her other hand to encircle his neck, teasingly saying, "Baby why are you suddenly looking at me like that? What, did you suddenly realize that I'm actually a good person?"

Chen Yu: ......

Chen Yu does feel that way.

Qing Ling's acting is good and there is nothing wrong with her speech, perfectly portraying a good image of herself as a rational, just and fair person.

This really surprised Chen Yu, and for the first time, he felt that Qing Ling's character was not as bad as he thought.

He was actually a lot gentler and kinder than he thought he was.

But ......

"Why did you tell him today if you never did?"

"I ......"

Qing Ling was about to speak when she suddenly heard the clatter of cutlery on the table.

He followed the sound and saw Liu Xiao, the new cook, looking at him with some bewilderment.

"I didn't mean to be a light bulb, it's just that the food is ready and I'm bringing it up, so you guys go on without me, I'll be on my way."

When she finished, she quickly left.

Qing Ling and Chen Yu were left dumbfounded.

Qing Ling turned back, just as Chen Yu also lowered his head, and as their eyes met, the tips of their noses inadvertently touched.

For a moment, both men were a little baffled.

Liu Xiao, the cook, took the side dishes and was about to deliver them into the restaurant, but she saw this scene just before she reached the entrance of the restaurant, and she was so scared that she flashed to the side in a hurry.

"What are you standing here for? Why don't you go deliver the food?" Wang Jia Guan saw it and reminded him.

Liu Xiao looked at him and whispered, "Not now."

"What's not working?"

"Young Master and Madam are hugging and kissing, it's not appropriate to go in at this time."

Wang Jia Guan: ?????!

What did he hear?

Their young master kissed Qing Ling?

That's not possible!

"You're not mistaken?"

Liu Xiao nods, "No, they're very close. When I was just bringing in the entrees, they were hugging and whispering together, they looked so in love."

Wang Jia Guan: ......

Liu Xiao continues to lament, "In the end, it's just great to be a newlywed husband and wife."

Wang Jia Guan: ......

Wang Jia Guan thought that his newly recruited little cook probably didn't have good eyes.

"You remember to deliver the food." He finished and turned to the side.

Liu Xiao nodded her head nicely, not forgetting to peek her head in again to see if she could get in.

Chen Yu was the first to react, lifting his hand to take Qing Ling's hands around himself down, and said to him, "Let's eat first."

Qing Ling nods, "Uh-huh."

Liu Xiao saw that the two had separated, and only then did he come in to bring them both side dishes, followed by drinks and desserts.

She put everything away and backed out.

Qing Ling finished her dinner with great satisfaction and thought the dessert was not bad, so she ate Chen Yu's portion as well.

Chen Yu, still mindful of his question, re-asked, "Why did you tell him today?"

"I'm tired of him bothering me." Qing Ling sipped her black tea and said calmly, "So I want him to annoy me less."

"You said before, and you said you liked him?"

"Right." Qing Ling didn't hide it, "He flip-flopped and talked about how you liked him, what's the point of being the only one who likes him, might as well be me liking him too, that's exciting isn't it?"

Chen Yu didn't quite understand if there was any deeper meaning to his words, so he had to explain for himself first, "My fondness for him is just a desire to protect him, I promised him when I was in school that I would always protect him, that's all."

"Just want to protect him, don't want to marry him?" Qing Ling is less than convinced, "Protectiveness and possessiveness, a hair's breadth apart."

From protection to love, a trope he'd seen too many times.

Chen Yu was silent for a moment, and calmly said, "If there wasn't one before, then there will be even less afterward."

Qing Ling nodded and didn't press him.

Chen Yu looked at him eating his dessert without saying anything and asked, "You don't believe me?"

"I believe it." Qing Ling glanced at him, "Bai Xiao this person, and this name, no matter the IQ or IQ is quite Bai Xiao, you want to hang on this tree, then who can stop? I can't stop it, I don't want to stop it, I'll just think of it as watching the fun."

Chen Yu: ......

Qing Ling smiled, "But you didn't get angry even after I said that about him, so it does seem like you've let it go."

He finished the last bite of cake and stood up, "I'm full, I'm going back."

"I have the day after tomorrow off, so we'll go back home together."

"A trip back home?"
