Chapter 437: Chapter 440: Sleep With Me_1
In the Government Office, Bai Yifan and Qin Longyun were playing chess.
After tonight, if they wanted to play chess together again, they would have to wait for three months.
Because tomorrow Bai Yifan was to set off for Medicine King Valley.
"Third Boss, do you really not plan to say goodbye to Duo’er?" Qin Longyun asked seemingly casually.
Bai Yifan nodded, "Saying goodbye would only add to the sorrow, and besides, I’ve never been good at farewells."
What difference would speaking make?
He could tell that when Qiao Duo’er was with Tan Zhenghong, she was relaxed, without any pretense or guard, something he had never seen before.
There was only one explanation for that, which was that Qiao Duo’er loved Tan Zhenghong—with all her heart and soul.
"Fourth sister is very good. I’ve always felt she has many stories within her. Now it should be about returning to simplicity; she wants to lead a simple life, and with your unpredictable whereabouts and the Bai Family’s complicated relationships, you are not suitable for her. You’ve lost."
Qin Longyun placed a chess piece down, and the outcome of the game was clear.
Bai Yifan shook his head, "One shouldn’t play chess with a perturbed heart, and I’ve spoiled your mood."
He didn’t care about winning or losing; it was the reality Qin Longyun had spoken that pained his heart.
He had always fantasized that if he had met Qiao Duo’er before Tan Zhenghong, the situation would be the same.
But the truth was, no matter who Qiao Duo’er had met first, she would never have chosen him.
"I hope next time we can fight a full and satisfying battle." Qin Longyun said with a slight smile. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Bai Yifan responded, "I’ll do my best."
Falling for someone is simple—maybe it’s because of a look, a gesture, or a certain quality.
Forgetting someone is difficult because cutting an important person out of one’s heart hurts.
He had tried many times, firmly resolving himself each time, but then he couldn’t help thinking of everything about her, so he decided not to force himself anymore. Letting things take their natural course was best.
When Chen Yiling brought over the brewed tea, Bai Yifan had already disappeared.
She couldn’t help asking, "Why did you finish playing so early today?"
"Yifan’s heart wasn’t in the game and he lost before long," Qin Longyun said with regret.
He and Bai Yifan were evenly matched in chess, and regardless of winning or losing, they always found it exhilarating. But this time, he felt a tightness in his chest.
Worriedly, Chen Yiling said, "It must be because of Duo’er. You don’t think Yifan will do something foolish, do you?"
"He is not a coward. He will be fine after a while. You little goofball, don’t meddle unnecessarily, or you might make things worse."
Qin Longyun tousled Chen Yiling’s hair.
Now that both were friends, it wasn’t right to take sides.
Chen Yiling pouted and said, "I’m not that foolish. Duo’er and Zheng Hong are married now, they are a match made in heaven. What meddle could I possibly do? I just hope that Yifan will find the right person for him soon."
"Let’s not talk about them anymore. You’d better explain to me how you got to know all those riff-raffs," Qin Longyun changed the subject, and Chen Yiling’s face stiffened.
She thought discussing matters of the heart was quite nice, but what riff-raffs?
Could they no longer chat happily?
Chen Yiling pursed her lips, "Husband, I’m tired from the whole day, almost dead tired. Come and sleep with me, won’t you?"
"Really not going to speak?" Qin Longyun glanced at Chen Yiling half-jokingly.
"I’ll speak, all right? It’s people I secretly met when I snuck out previously. I did them a small favor, and now when I need help, they all showed up," Chen Yiling quickly explained, always believing in being lenient with those who confess.
