Chapter 449: 449: Xiaolang, let’s get married earlier (Third update)

“I’m not at ease,” Yin Qin stated bluntly, “I don’t trust anyone else!”

“So you still cannot let go of Ji Baixin.” Qin Keqin criticized harshly.

“Yes, I just can’t let go. The more you force me the less I can let go!” Yin Qin said fiercely, “Why did I get together with Luo Xiaolang in the first place? Did I get in a relationship with her just because she was pregnant with my child? Did I get with her just because she forced herself on me? Why do you all force me to do things that I do not want?!”

Yin Qin’s voice was very loud.

Very, very loud.

As if his whole being had turned hysterical, he said everything without any reservations.

Qin Keqin was very close to dying of fury.

Truly at the brink of madness at that moment.

She turned her head to look at Luo Xiaolang.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaolang was very calm, calmly digesting this reality.

Actually.

Yin Qin had mentioned it before.

He said her ignorance had brought him much trouble.

She had always tried to cause as little trouble as she could for others.

She hated to feel troubled and also detested causing trouble for others.

After Yin Qin vented out, he seemed a bit unhinged at that moment.

For some unknown reason

These days he had been feeling very vexed, he felt a lot of guilt towards Luo Xiaolang, yet he also felt an inexplicable sense of unwillingness.

It was not his intention to be like this, but Luo Xiaolang’s innocence and ignorance made him feel that he owed her.

He had already decided to be well with Luo Xiaolang, and he had also begun to let go of Ji Baixin. What more did they want from him? Did they want him to completely ignore Ji Baixin and not care about her?! The woman he loved so much, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing when she was in pain!

He was also conflicted; he was also torn; he was also on the brink of breaking down.

“Yin Qin.” Qin Keqin suddenly cooled down.

Yin Qin also cooled down.

After shouting out at that moment, everyone had calmed down.

“If you want to leave, just go. But you better figure out what you really want, don’t drag others into this.” Qin Keqin said.

“I am very clear about my choices,” Yin Qin said quietly, word by word.

Qin Keqin stopped talking.

It had already come to this point, and Yin Qin still wanted to help Ji Baixin. She had no way of using extreme measures to force him to do anything. Whatever happens to Luo in the future would be her own responsibility.

She said, “In that case, do as you please. I guarantee that I will never interfere with your affairs ever again!”

After saying that, Qin Keqin turned around and left immediately.

Yin Bin gave his son a glare.

At that moment, he really wanted to kill him.

His wife was the most important, so he quickly followed Qin Keqin into the villa.

And so.

All that was left were Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t understand why she did not leave at that moment, why she did not follow Qin Keqin. She just stood in front of Yin Qin.

Yes.

She did not want Yin Qin to leave.

But, she didn’t know how she should convince him.

Also, would anything she say make a difference?

She just looked at Yin Qin, directly at him.

Yin Qin said, “Are you going to stop me?”

The voice was somewhat cold.

His feelings towards Luo Xiaolang were quite complicated.

Loving her? Not really.

Hating her? Not at all.

There was a desire to be with her, yet there was also a bit of reluctance.

He did not want to be with her, yet the guilt was overwhelming.

His feelings towards Luo Xiaolang were conflicted. He did not know whether these feelings originated from him or from Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang asked, “Do you really have to go?”

She asked him.

She rarely demands others to do things, rarely asks others for anything. She always believed that she wouldn’t impose on anyone for things that she could do. But now, she couldn’t control herself.

“I have to go.” Yin Qin gave her a definitive answer.

His heart was slightly tumultuous.

A bit of piercing pain.

She replied, “Alright, I understand.”

She moved away from him.

“Xiaolang,” Yin Qin suddenly called out to her.

Luo Xiaolang paused in her steps.

Yin Qin said, “I find it hard to ignore Ji Baixin, I find it hard to completely let her go. I can live a lifetime with you, I can try to like you, I can do my best to treat you well, but don’t ask me to completely cut off Ji Baixin.”

She didn’t ask him to.

She didn’t even contemplate asking him to.

Whom he wanted to be good to was his own business, she had no right to interfere.

She did not answer, but silently left.

Yin Qin just watched Luo Xiaolang’s retreating figure.

He admitted that he was no good, really no good.

He wanted to live with Luo Xiaolang, to spend a lifetime with her, but he found it hard to fall for her.

He had loved Ji Baixin for so many years that even if he learned to let go, it didn’t mean he could completely forget, nor did it mean he would genuinely like Luo Xiaolang.

He couldn’t predict if his marriage with Luo Xiaolang would end happily.

He genuinely didn’t know.

Yin Qin left the villa.

He drove off into the distance.

Luo Xiaolang entered the living room.

Qin Keqin had just spoken such a decisive word that she was still shaking with anger.

“You tell me, has Yin Qin really grown up so much that he no longer listens to what I say? I raised him from such a young age, is this how he repays me?!” Qin Keqin exploded.

Yin Bin remained silent beside her.

He didn’t have any right to interfere, he had done little to contribute in raising their son.

Luo Xiaolang appeared.

The anger stuck in Qin Keqin’s throat was swallowed back down.

She called out to Luo Xiaolang, “Xiaolang.”

Luo Xiaolang responded, “Mmm.”

“I won’t say anything good for Yin Qin, if Yin Qin really bullies you in the future, I’ll definitely stand by your side.”

“Yin Qin can’t bully me,” Luo Xiaolang said with a slight smile, “he can’t beat me anyway.”

This naive girl, did she still think that physical violence was the only way to hurt someone?

Some emotional injuries were a hundred times more painful than physical harm.

“I’ll go upstairs and check on the little tiger, I don’t know if he got scared by Yin Qin’s ferocity just now,” Luo Xiaolang said, and then went straight upstairs.

Qin Keqin watched Luo Xiaolang’s retreating figure.

Her nose tingled inexplicably.

She murmured, “What if Yin Qin really does hurt Xiaolang? I really can’t trust Yin Qin now not to be lured by Ji Baixin. If Ji Baixin has the intention, how can Yin Qin control himself!”

Yin Bin was also doubtful, he argued, “Even so, what can we do? If we forcefully keep Yin Qin away from Ji Baixin, we will only face Yin Qin’s mad rebellion. Besides, we ourselves were victims of arranged marriages once. Do you want the same fate for your son… ”

“So you regret our marriage, right?” Qin Keqin’s face darkened.

“I don’t regret it, where have your thoughts wandered off to?”

“If you don’t regret it, why did you say we are victims.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I meant initially, at the very beginning.” Yin Bin explained hurriedly.

“If it weren’t for your parents, maybe you and Lin Ximeng would have lived happily ever after. I was the one who stood in the way,” Qin Keqin said with irony.

“Hell, we’re discussing our son here, why are you bringing me into it?! Isn’t that all in the past?!”

“What do you mean ‘my son’? Isn’t he your son too? You even regret that we had a son together, don’t you!”

“Are all women this nagging? When did I say I regretted it!”

“That’s what you meant by implication,” Qin Keqin said coldly, “And now you’re calling me nagging, indeed I’m not as gentle as Lin Ximeng…”

“Damn it, Qin Keqin!” Yin Bin vehemently embraced Qin Keqin.

The next second, he silenced her with a kiss.

“Mmm.” Qin Keqin struggled.

Old man Yin, you must have forgotten our marital agreement!

Damn, there isn’t a single decent man!

Luo Xiaolang returned to her room.

She didn’t go to hold the little tiger, she didn’t seem to be in the mood to play with him at the moment.

She sat on the room’s couch, her mind filled with the image of an enraged Yin Qin defending Ji Baixin.

Is it possible to love someone so deeply that you cannot come out of it?

She thought to herself, just sitting there lost in her own world.

Yin Qin rushed to the meeting place he had arranged with Li Wenjun.

Upon arriving, Li Wenjun looked at Yin Qin with a cunning smirk.

In reality, he also had feelings for Ji Baixin. Among all the women, only Ji Baixin had ever truly captured his heart. However, he certainly wasn’t as foolish as Yin Qin. As much as he liked Ji Baixin, he would never fall over himself to do anything for her, regardless of the consequences.

As soon as Yin Qin got out of his car, he cut straight to the chase. “Where’s the stuff?”

“It’s all on my phone.”

“How can I guarantee you haven’t made any backups?”

“I told you, I just want the money.”

“I can give you the money. But if you take the money and still use these items to threaten me, I will kill you! This is the last time. This is not a threat!” He made his statement, enunciating each word.

Yin Qin’s demeanour at that moment truly terrified Li Wenjun. He felt his entire being rebelling under the heavy oppression. Could it be that his actions today had thoroughly enraged Yin Qin, hence such bloodthirstiness?!

Needless to say, at that moment, he truly felt threatened by Yin Qin.

It occurred to him that if he ever threatened Yin Qin with these materials again, Yin Qin could, in fact, kill him.

He said, “Don’t worry, I have no need to test your limits.”

Yin Qin took out a cashier’s cheque worth 20 million and handed it to Li Wenjun.

Li Wenjun reached out his hand.

Yin Qin swung his hand up.

Li Wenjun handed over his phone to Yin Qin.

Yin Qin handed him the cheque.

The deal was done. Cash exchanged for goods.

Yin Qin opened Li Wenjun’s phone and deleted all the videos, utterly erasing them.

“Your cloud drive password!” demanded Yin Qin bluntly.

“I don’t have a backup.”

“The password!” Yin Qin’s face was fierce.

Li Wenjun provided his password.

Yin Qin rummaged through all of Li Wenjun’s belongings.

There truly were no backups.

“Email.”

Li Wenjun provided his email address and password.

Yin Qin examined it through and through.

He also reluctantly checked all the saved files on Yin Qin’s chat applications to make sure there were no videos left.

In truth, Li Wenjun hadn’t intended to keep anything.

After this, he truly planned to leave Jin City for good. He couldn’t stay here any longer, and since the documents were useless, why enrage Yin Qin further?

Upon confirming there was nothing left, Yin Qin handed the phone back to Li Wenjun and bitterly said, “I never want to see you again!”

After finishing his statement, he turned and briskly walked off.

Li Wenjun, holding the cheque in his hand, watched Yin Qin stalk off before contentedly planning to return to his car and leave.

Just as he was about to get in, a few burly men approached him.

Li Wenjun froze in shock.

In his haste, he climbed into his car, but just as he was about to close the door, the men forcefully yanked him out of the car and commenced a relentless beating. After they were done, they brazenly stole his cheque.

“Put it down, put it down!” Cried Li Wenjun, battered and in excruciating pain. He watched his cheque disappear, and he completely broke down.

His 20 million, his 20 million.

A thug holding the cheque completely ignored the dying Li Wenjun and swaggered off.

After returning to their car, the burly man respectfully made a call, “Mr. Ji, we’ve taken back the cheque.”

“Transfer it to my account.”

“Yes, sir.”

Ji Baijian hung up the call.

Song Zhizhi couldn’t help but scoff, “I thought you were generous enough to straight up give Yin Qin 20 million! Old fox, I despise you.”

“Madam, this is our mutual property,” Ji Baijian reminded her.

Song Zhizhi thought for a moment, “What shall we have for dinner tonight?”

Such a practical woman.

But he liked that.

Ji Baijian cradled the smitten Song Zhizhi in his arms and whispered into her ear.

Song Zhizhi’s face flushed.

Old rogue!

Yin Qin drove home.

His speed was slightly fast.

His emotions actually weren’t very good.

He seemed to be stifled and anxious.

He picked up the phone to dial.

The call connected on the other side, “Yin Qin.”

“Baixin, I had Li Wenjun delete the video. Don’t worry, there’s no backup. I guess Li Wenjun wouldn’t dare to provoke us anymore. He will leave once he gets the money, so he won’t keep any records.”

“How much money did you give him?” Ji Baixin asked.

“20 million.”

“I’ll pay you back.”

“No need, the money is from your elder brother, who has plenty of it. You don’t need to repay him.”

Ji Baixin was somewhat startled.

She didn’t expect her elder brother to assist her financially.

“Baixin, return to the Ji family. Even though you don’t like the lifestyle of high society, your family is the blood relationship you can never cut off. Not to mention, the Ji family can indeed protect you. Go back and get along with your family.”

“I know.”

“In the future, I might not be able to stay by your side like this anymore.” Yin Qin said.

Ji Baixin was taken aback.

So, his persuading her to return was just because he didn’t want to protect her anymore.

She bit her lip tightly.

“I think, I have spent too much time on you. If I continue like this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out. Baixin, I already have Luo Xiaolang and a child, I have to be responsible for them. From now on, I will try to focus on them. You take good care of yourself.”

Ji Baixin’s nose turned sour, her eyes began to glisten at that moment.

So.

Is Yin Qin saying farewell to her now?

From now on, Yin Qin wouldn’t be by her side anymore. The future Yin Qin would be far, far away from her, and he wouldn’t help her when she was in trouble, would he?

She didn’t say anything, instead remained silent.

Yin Qin said, “Li Wenjun is certainly a scumbag, but now he has met his deserved downfall. Although he took 20 million, he would likely have to pay about 10 million in breach of contract fees. Even if there is 10 million left, with his current state, it will be gone after a few years of extravagant spending. Anyway, regardless of the situation, his reputation is already totally tarnished. He can’t possibly stay in the fashion circle. So, there is no need to grieve over this man, nor should you keep him in your heart. Live your life well, and you will surely meet a better man that you will fall in love with again.”

“It won’t happen again.” Ji Baixin said bluntly.

Because the best man had been lost by her.

She might never meet him again in the future.

“Don’t be so disheartened. Never mind, I won’t persuade you. At this point, everything in the future is unknown. Anyway, take care of yourself well.” Yin Qin said.

This was truly his firm decision to draw a line between him and Ji Baixin.

He was actually aware of his mother’s worry. If he kept going like this, if he kept entangled with Ji Baixin, he might waver. He might truly abandon his wife and child. The only thing he should do now was to keep away from Ji Baixin, to completely cut ties with this woman.

From now on, no more contact, from now on, go back to his own family, leave this woman deep in his memory, and become a complete memory.

That was his only choice now.

He said, “Goodbye.”

He solemnly bid farewell to his past, to the intense feelings he once had.

Ji Baixin stifled her tears.

She forced herself to say in a calm voice, “Goodbye.”

Yin Qin’s eyes also turned red at that moment.

This relationship had ended just like that.

He laid down the phone silently.

He drove back home.

Back to the Yin family villa.

He had said, even if he didn’t love Luo Xiaolang, he would take care of that woman for the rest of his life.

He couldn’t disregard Luo Xiaolang, just like he couldn’t stand watching Ji Baixin suffer.

He also didn’t know why he always felt guilty towards Luo Xiaolang.

Perhaps it was because he truly didn’t love her.

Because he didn’t love her, he always felt like he owed her something.

He parked his car.

The main hall was empty at that moment.

His parents must have gone back to their room, Luo Xiaolang must have also returned to her room.

He pushed open the bedroom door.

Luo Xiaolang was indeed sitting on the sofa in the room, in a daze.

He had never really seen Luo Xiaolang in such a deep mood before, which seemed completely different from her usual self.

He said, “Luo Xiaolang, let’s get married in advance.”

He didn’t want to delay any longer.
