CH 15.3

After digesting the information for a while, Qian Fan opened his mouth again. “So is your mood bad because sister-in-law made you angry?”

The engagement between Ruan Zhiyin and Qin Jue was not a secret and Cheng Yuelin had become the groom because Qin Jue had skipped out of the wedding.

He had gotten married with a crush on the bride. If sister-in-law treated him poorly, he definitely could not get mad!

Cheng Yuelin coughed slightly and solemnly said, “No.”

After speaking, his fluttering gaze stopped at the transparent lunch box sitting next to the contract. He gestured at it——

“This, she made this morning.”

“Sister-in-law is really considerate.”

Qian Fan was surprised to see the sandwich.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief for Cheng Yuelin, but he could not help but ask. “So why are you angry?”

Cheng Yuelin paused and lifted his eyes slightly and asked, “Is Qin Jue’s temper better than mine?”

“Isn’t it cl…” Qian Fan spoke halfway before he realized something was wrong and pasted a smile onto his face. “No way, your personalities are completely different.”

Qin Jue was the kind of goody two shoes that all the parents and teachers would praise. He did not have much of a temper and he would rarely argue with others as a child.

But Qian Fan could finally figure out the reason Cheng Yuelin was in a bad mood for the past few days——

“So you’re jealous of her ex.”

Cheng Yuelin did not admit it. He sneered and slowly continued with, “Do I need to be jealous?”

They had a previous wedding engagement, but they weren’t able to get married. Why would he even need to waste his energy on being jealous?

“But that was their first love…”

Qian Fan whispered softly.

“So what if it’s their first love? It was just a misstep.”

Cheng Yuelin retorted back. Then it seemed as though he remembered something. He slowly took something out of his suit pocket and placed it on the table.

Seeing Qian Fan’s eyes instantly widen. He said with satisfaction, “With these, do I still need to compare with others?”

“Wow. This is the first time I’ve seen a marriage certificate in real life.”

Qian Fan was really quite amazed. Previously, he had seen people posting their marriage licenses to show off on WeChat.

Cheng Yuelin did not really use WeChat, but he was quite different. He actually carried around the marriage licenses with him!

He never thought that Brother Lin would be the kind of person to be so low-key. He could not believe he was able to grab his sister-in-law this quickly. Not only did they go through the trouble of getting the licenses, but she would even make him food every day.

It was really enviable.

After a moment, he said with a smile. “Brother Lin, how can you still compare yourself with Qin Jue? That’s not like you. After all, you already stole his fiancee. You should be more arrogant.”

“Do I need you to teach me that?” Cheng Yuelin pursed his thin lips and paused. Then he shot a glance at him and said, “In the future, you don’t have to worry about me getting a divorce.”

After eating lunch, Ruan Zhiyin declined Tian Jing and Xia He’s invitation for dessert and took the elevator back to her office.

She was afraid that the two people would be overly interested, and she did not want to discuss her and Cheng Yuelin’s time as deskmates. They did not have any ill intentions, but Ruan Zhiyin did not want to deal with it coldly. However, the more words said, the higher the possibilities for mistakes. It would then be difficult to deal with.

She shook her head to clear her mind. Just as Ruan Zhiyin opened her laptop to get ready to work, the phone on her desk buzzed.

Opening the WeChat message, it turned out to be from Qin Xiang——.

<Sister Zhiyin, my brother and mother’s moods have been really low lately. She even took out her anger at the wedding company and got the person in charge fired. I don’t even dare to say anything at home. I am really at the bottom of the hierarchy in the family. My brother really failed your expectations, and he deserves to get kicked away. But I will absolutely, always, be firmly on your side! Please don’t abandon me, okay? T_T>

The message was brief. Ruan Zhiyin skimmed through it.

Her fingertips paused, but then decided not to respond.

The Qin Family and the Ruan Family had been friends for generations. Qin Jue and Qin Xiang would often go to the Ruan family to visit Grandfather Ruan.

When she arrived at the Ruan Family, Qin Xiang was only nine years old. The girl would innocently and brightly call her Older Sister. In the beginning, when she had to attend an event with a lot of people, she would even bring Qin Jue to protect her.

All these years, Ruan Zhiyin had truly treated Qin Xiang as her little sister. But right now, she did not know how to face Qin Xiang.

But there was a sentence in Qin Xiang’s words that made her concerned.

After a short thought, she exited WeChat and opened up her call logs. She then dialed a phone number——.

“Kang Yu, do you have time to meet up?”
