You're so sweet (GL) - Chapter 19

Although it was only a single ‘Mmh’, it was enough to explain the situation.

Su Jingwan really didn’t entertain Qin Ziyuan and went home instead, and Su Jingwan was actually willing to reply to her. Didn’t this mean that Su Jingwan didn’t particularly dislike her?

Qin Luo giggled foolishly holding her phone, but as she laughed, she felt a slight discomfort in her stomach, which made her barely restrain herself and send Su Jingwan a cute emoji.

Su Jingwan didn’t reply again. Qin Luo suspected that this person had driven the car straight to the Northern Hemisphere, operating on a different time zone than her.

She checked other messages and found that there was a video attached to the message Xu Shaotian had sent earlier. It might have only appeared now due to a bad signal earlier.

To prevent her ears from being deafened, Qin Luo turned on silent mode in advance. The video was recorded in a bar. The lighting was very dim, and the lights flashed back and forth, making the picture quality poor. She could vaguely see Xu Shaotian pointing the camera at Qin Ziyuan, who was sitting alone in a booth.

Was he really drinking alone to drown his sorrows?

The camera shook violently. Qin Luo wasn’t very interested in Qin Ziyuan. She was about to exit when she suddenly noticed a person standing in the corner near Qin Ziyuan.

She watched it again. The person was opening a bottle of wine, looking like a waiter. Speaking of the waiter, this person seemed a bit like the one Qin Ziyuan dragged into the restroom last time.

The video abruptly ended. Qin Luo squinted slightly.

————

Half an hour later, Su Jingwan emerged from the bathroom. She saw the message from Qin Luo, and before she could reply, she received a call from Qin Ziyuan.

She lowered her gaze at the caller ID and answered the phone.

“Hello.”

“Hello, is this Miss Su?” It was a voice of an unfamiliar man.

“Mmh,” Su Jingwan softly replied.

The person was holding Qin Ziyuan’s phone and knew who she was, so it was probably a real emergency.

The person’s tone was indeed very anxious and he continued, “Could you come over to ‘Listening’ (Tingting)? Mr. Qin is not doing very well. I’ll send you the address.”

How could the person she had just spoken to not be doing well? Su Jingwan wasn’t entirely convinced, but she still said, “I’ll be right there.”

When Su Jingwan arrived at ‘Listening’, Qin Ziyuan was already unconscious. She was simply dressed in a trench coat, carrying a laptop, and her expressionless walk drew the attention of many.

“Miss Su.”

The one who spoke was the waiter. Su Jingwan nodded, walked to the side, and had no intention of approaching Qin Ziyuan. She just glanced at him a few times, then scanned the wine bottles on the table, and asked,

“What did you do?”

“What?”

The waiter’s face was pale. He seemed to have heard Su Jingwan’s words but wasn’t quite sure. His eyes were filled with panic and uneasiness, and he didn’t quite dare to meet Su Jingwan’s eyes. He urgently said, “Miss Su, please take him away quickly.”

Ask her to take Qin Ziyuan away? Su Jingwan looked up at the waiter. The waiter looked delicate and handsome, probably in his early twenties, and the urgency on his face didn’t seem faked.

“I can’t lift him.”

The waiter was stunned by her words. She hadn’t even touched him, so how did she know she couldn’t lift him?

Su Jingwan found a seat nearby and sat down, showing no intention of checking on Qin Ziyuan.

The waiter was a little perplexed. He hadn’t expected Su Jingwan to react this way.

“Miss Su, it’s not good for him to sleep here. Please take him back quickly.”

“Is he bothering anyone?” Su Jingwan said indifferently.

The waiter was choked. He didn’t know how to answer that.

Qin Ziyuan had paid. Sleeping in a booth was pretty much the same as paying to drink. Naturally, no one would rush him to leave. However, sleeping here, with the air conditioning on so high, he might catch a cold…

The waiter suspected Su Jingwan was sulking, but the other party showed no emotional fluctuation. She simply opened the laptop she brought and started working on her own things.

The waiter didn’t know whether to leave or stay.

Xu Shaotian was originally talking with a potential love interest, but when she looked up a moment later, a vulgarity almost slipped out of her mouth.

“Holy cow, why is Su Jingwan here?”

“Who is it?” The person beside her asked, following her gaze, and immediately whistled. It was a beautiful woman.

Xu Shaotian pushed the person next to her away and ran outside to call Qin Luo.

“Luo Luo, where are you? Something big has happened!”

“What big thing could have happened?” What could possibly happen?

Qin Luo yawned. She had finished her shower, was lying softly on the sofa, hugging a cushion, and putting on socks. Although her lower abdomen no longer hurt, she still felt a bit unwell. Keeping warm was the most important thing at a time like this.

She was also planning to find a movie to distract herself from feeling too bored alone. What big deal could Xu Shaotian be talking about? It better be a real big deal.

“Oh, it’s Su Jingwan! Su Jingwan is at ‘Listening’!” Xu Shaotian yelled into the phone.

“What?” Qin Luo slightly frowned. Su Jingwan just said she was home. Why would she run out again at this hour? “Are you sure?”

Maybe she saw wrong.

“Positive! She’s sitting right next to Qin Ziyuan now. The vibe suggests she’s there to catch him cheating. Do you want to come and watch? It’s a free show.” Xu Shaotian was clearly up to no good, just waiting to call Qin Luo over to watch the drama.

“…” She didn’t want to watch. Qin Luo felt a bit uncomfortable, kicked off the half-worn sock, and asked, “What did Qin Ziyuan do? Why would Su Jingwan go there? To drink?”

Su Jingwan clearly wasn’t much of a drinker, yet Qin Ziyuan still called her to go to the internet cafe. Could it be that he wanted to get Su Jingwan drunk?

“Him?” Xu Shaotian thought for a moment, “He seems to be drunk. I saw him sprawled on the table. Oh, is Su Jingwan not here to catch him cheating, but to take your brother home?”

Qin Luo’s face darkened further, “Mind your own business. Don’t go near them.”

“Oh, okay.” Xu Shaotian was a little disappointed, and also sensed that Qin Luo sounded unhappy, so she didn’t dare to ask her to come over again.

“Wait, help me…” Qin Luo took a deep breath, “See what they are going to do.”

“See what they’re going to do? Luo Luo, are you finally ready to make a move on the beautiful CEO Su?”

“I just want to find something on them, that’s all,” Qin Luo said impatiently.

If she found something on Qin Ziyuan or Su Jingwan, she could go wherever she wanted in the future, and they wouldn’t be able to stop her. She just didn’t want to be involved with the Qin family.

Thinking this, Qin Luo urged more quickly, “Tian Tian, stop messing around and quickly go see for me. Don’t let them leave!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll go now. Let’s keep in touch by phone.” Xu Shaotian agreed, but Qin Luo stopped her just as she was about to hang up and asked her to switch to video calling.

“They are right there, see them?” Xu Shaotian pointed the camera at the booth where Qin Ziyuan and Su Jingwan were.

The lighting wasn’t bright enough, but Qin Luo instantly recognized Su Jingwan sitting there. She was looking at her laptop, and there was a dark figure next to her, which should be Qin Ziyuan.

Why was he slumped over? Was he really drunk? Such poor tolerance for alcohol. Qin Luo frowned, thinking that if the person was drunk, it was understandable for Su Jingwan, as his fiancée, to go there.

Scumbag! What could he do besides causing trouble for the people around him?

“Wait a minute, Luo Luo, I’ll go over and see what’s going on.” Xu Shaotian put on wireless earphones, hung her phone around her chest with the camera facing forward, and walked towards Su Jingwan and the others.

“What are you trying to do? Don’t expose yourself!” Qin Luo quickly said.

Xu Shaotian was an expert at stirring up trouble. She was already slowly approaching. Just as Qin Luo finished speaking, she heard her deliberately exclaim in surprise, “Brother Yuan, what’s wrong? Is he drunk?”

Xu Shaotian’s position was deliberately chosen. Qin Luo could see Su Jingwan and the standing waiter directly through the video camera. Their attention was drawn to Xu Shaotian, but Su Jingwan quickly looked back at her laptop.

“Brother Yuan”… Xu Shaotian’s opening line was quite interesting. At first hearing, it sounded like an acquaintance, but in a place like this, it seemed somewhat ambiguous.

If Qin Ziyuan was sober, he might ask, “Who are you?” But Qin Ziyuan was drunk, making it difficult for Su Jingwan and the waiter to determine if Xu Shaotian knew Qin Ziyuan.

“Excuse me, who are you?”

The first to speak was not Su Jingwan, but the waiter.

“Tian Tian, watch the waiter’s reaction. He seems to be the one Qin Ziyuan took away that day,” Qin Luo whispered.

Xu Shaotian instantly gasped, and Qin Luo guessed she was thinking about catching someone cheating again.

“And who are you? What’s your relationship with Brother Yuan? Or are you a waiter who can also manage a customer’s private affairs? Do you want me to complain about you?” Xu Shaotian pulled a long face, looking arrogant and overbearing.

“Yes, yes, yes, try to trick him.” Qin Luo almost laughed. She knew Xu Shaotian wouldn’t disappoint her.

“I… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.” The waiter was speechless, but he lowered his eyes, unsure how to respond to Xu Shaotian’s words.

“Looks like there really is no relationship, or did Qin Ziyuan not succeed yet?” Qin Luo said, “Never mind him. Look at Su Jingwan. What does she mean? She can still hold back from speaking. I wonder what mischief she’s up to. Try to test her.”

Xu Shaotian snorted coldly at the waiter, then glanced at Su Jingwan nearby, and lightly coughed, “How can we let Brother Yuan just slump on the table like this? He might catch a cold if this goes on.”

If Xu Shaotian were wearing a jacket at this moment, she would have definitely taken it off to cover Qin Ziyuan. Unfortunately, she was wearing a strapless short dress today, so she could only use words to put on a show.

Su Jingwan still didn’t respond. Qin Luo couldn’t figure out what Su Jingwan meant. Was Su Jingwan disdaining to answer Tian Tian?

Seeing that they weren’t speaking, Xu Shaotian went straight for a drastic measure, frowning and starting to speak sweetly, “Brother Yuan can’t sleep here. What if he gets sick? I need to take him back.”

Now, they should react. Qin Luo and Xu Shaotian thought simultaneously.

The waiter next to them slightly changed his expression upon hearing this and immediately looked at Su Jingwan.

And Su Jingwan, she did give a reaction.

“Okay.”

“…” What? Qin Luo and Xu Shaotian both doubted they heard correctly.

Su Jingwan’s gaze finally moved away from the laptop, and her expression didn’t look like she was joking.

“I’ll trouble you then,” she said.

“…Huh?” Xu Shaotian was dumbfounded.
