Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Newlyweds' First Night
"What kind of nonsense husband are you talking about? You're not even married yet. As a girl, how can you joke about your own reputation so carelessly?"
Qin Zhen was furious, his face full of anger as he stared at his younger sister, and he said sharply, "Mom and Dad are almost going crazy, you need to come back with me right now and explain everything to them."
Qin Yanyang replied calmly, without any hurry, "I just got married today, I need to be with him tonight."
Qin Zhen was truly furious, he rebuked: "Shut up, you're engaged, and the person you're supposed to marry is Zhang Yunqing from the Zhang Family."
"That was Mom, Dad, and your choice, not mine. If you guys want to marry, go right ahead," Qin Yanyang said indifferently.
Qin Zhen said, "Mom, Dad, and I are all experienced, and in marriage compatibility matters absolutely, and it cannot be wrong. Little sister, please stop being stubborn."
Qin Yanyang sighed and said, "I'm not being stubborn, I genuinely want to choose my own partner."
"You chose by yourself and ended up with some stranger of questionable background?" Qin Zhen said angrily.
"Not at all, he was chosen by grandfather," said Qin Yanyang lightly.
Qin Zhen was suddenly at a loss for words and fell silent.
The surrounding onlookers also showed strange expressions.
Many began to view the prospects of her marriage unfavorably.
After all, that's Mr. Qin we're talking about.
A National Guardian Level figure.
No wonder Qin Yanyang made such a choice.
With that old master giving the order, it's likely that no one in the Qin Family dared to disagree.
Even in Imperial City, the number of people who could say 'no' to that old master can be counted on one hand.
"But, I myself am very satisfied," Qin Yanyang added.
Then she walked away.
Qin Zhen hurriedly followed her.
Amid the noisy hall of the Hall of Fame, as the Qin siblings left, it once again became bustling.
The last statement from Qin Yanyang undeniably had a devastating effect on Zhang Yunqing.
It was more humiliating than those earlier slaps.
Outside the Hall of Fame, Qin Zhen followed Qin Yanyang and called out, "Yanyang."
Qin Yanyang ignored him.
"Little sister."
Qin Yanyang paused briefly, then continued forward, replying, "Ah, brother, you go back. I have my plans."
Seeing she was getting into a car, Qin Zhen, knowing his sister's temperament, could only sigh in resignation and said, "Do you understand the impact of what you're doing?"
Qin Yanyang asked him with a smile, "Has the Earth stopped turning?"
Qin Zhen was speechless.
Qin Yanyang said, "The Zhang Family has two National Guardian level figures. Although Zhang Yunqing seems arrogant and overbearing, he's also exceptionally talented, and the Zhang Family is currently in its prime."
Qin Zhen was startled, then said, "Since you know all this, why still do it?"
"I don't like Zhang Qingyun, nor the way the entire Zhang Family conducts themselves," Qin Yanyang said, then stepped on the gas and drove off.
Qin Zhen watched the direction of the departing car for a long time before murmuring softly, "Old Master, you're twenty years older than that man from the Zhang Family. Once you're gone, Yanyang, a mere woman, how can she withstand such great pressure!"
...
When Qin Yanyang returned to the villa, it was already eleven o'clock at night.
Yang Fei was scrolling through his phone in the living room.
"Haven't you slept yet?" Qin Yanyang greeted.
Yang Fei stood up and asked, "You're back?" As he spoke, he didn't know what else to talk about, so he casually asked, "Want some late-night snacks?"
Qin Yanyang blinked and said, "I'm actually a bit hungry."
She hadn't eaten anything since seeing the car accident, then going to Imperial City, and rushing back to Binhai City.
Yang Fei said, "Wait then."
Qin Yanyang casually asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Yang Fei looked at her with surprise and a confused expression, "What?"
Seeing his reaction, Qin Yanyang said, "I mean, are you getting used to it?"
Since he didn't bring it up, she decided not to ask.
Although married, in reality, they were still strangers who just happened to know each other's names.
Even the hobbies they had talked about were just for reference.
However, being able to escape death at the last minute, her husband was really agile.
"Uh, I'm used to it. I lived in the country until I was thirteen," Yang Fei replied.
Qin Yanyang hummed in response and said no more.
Yang Fei went to the kitchen.
Ten minutes later, he brought out two bowls of steaming tomato and egg noodles.
"I had already eaten, but thinking of watching you eat made me crave it, so I cooked two portions," Yang Fei said with a smile.
Qin Yanyang had already picked up a chopstick full of noodles and casually said, "Are you that confident in your cooking skills?"
After tasting a bite, he nodded vigorously, "The flavor is really good."
He ate heartily.
Seeing her high evaluation of his cooking skills, Yang Fei also ate heartily.
After eating, Qin Yanyang said, "You cooked the noodles, so I'll wash the dishes." As she spoke, she began cleaning up without any pretense.
Yang Fei didn't stand on ceremony.
After washing the dishes, Qin Yanyang returned to the living room, and they each sat at one end of the sofa, watching television and chatting.
Having known each other for only a short while and each harboring their own secrets, they couldn't open their hearts fully. Naturally, their conversation was shallow and brief, merely touching on some trivial topics.
But Yang Fei felt very comfortable.
He liked this peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
It was very cozy, with a hint of home.
"I have to work tomorrow, let's go to bed early," Qin Yanyang stood up and said.
Yang Fei nodded, then looked at her.
Seeing his gaze on her, Qin Yanyang gave a light smile, "We just met today, let's not sleep together."
Yang Fei chuckled.
He hadn't intended to sleep together, of course. However, as a man, facing such a beautiful woman and claiming he had no thoughts would be a lie.
"I was asking which room I should sleep in," Yang Fei said.
Only then did Qin Yanyang remember that she had told him the address but hadn't mentioned which room he would sleep in.
She noticed Yang Fei's small suitcase still quietly sitting in the corner of the living room.
"Have you never looked around here?" Qin Yanyang asked, slightly surprised.
Yang Fei smiled and said, "No, it's a girl's place. I shouldn't be peeping around."
Qin Yanyang felt a warmth in her heart and silently gave this man a point for his character.
After showing Yang Fei a room, Qin Yanyang headed to her own room. At the doorway, she couldn't help but turn around and say, "By the way, I usually work and might not have time to accompany you. Won't you get bored staying alone?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei said, "I will look for a job."
Since the master spoke in riddles, he could only get along well with Qin Yanyang and quietly wait for the opportunity his master mentioned.
He couldn't touch the money in the foreign accounts for now as it would expose his tracks. He was running low on money and needed to find a job to earn money for the long term plans.
Qin Yanyang said, "That's not what I meant. Actually, I have money and can completely afford to support you."
Yang Fei said with a smile, "I have a strong sense of self-respect."
"Alright," she said goodnight and closed her bedroom door.
Late at night, many people were destined to be sleepless this night.
The Chen Family of Binhai City.
Chen Hongbo's face showed excitement after hanging up the phone.
His opportunity had arrived.
There were three major powers in Binhai, and the Chen Family was one of them.
Old Master Chen was the kind of person who could shake Binhai with a mere stomp of his foot.
The old man's intentions were clear, to establish the elder and not the younger; Chen Hongbo, who was the second son in the Chen Family, knew that the future family business was to be passed to his elder brother.
Chen Hongbo wasn't willing to accept that.
Now, a significant figure in the Provincial City needed his help, which was a rare opportunity for him.
As long as he handled things well and gained favor from that significant figure in Provincial City, with his support, the vast family business of the Chen Family would be his.
Thinking of this, he immediately dialed a confidant's number.
"Hey, Second Master, we haven't found the young man who saved Old Master yet. The video only has a profile view; it's tough to find and will take time."
Chen Hongbo hummed, saying, "Put that aside for now, I have a more important task for you. Remember, do it yourself, and make sure there are no mistakes."
