Chapter 260 – A tiny matter? In his heart, this wasn’t a big deal at all? Is that so? (1)
In the end, Ruan Xia didn’t curse Qin Yu aloud, but she castigated him a thousand times in her thoughts without stopping.
Ruan Xia had read about Qin Yu in the novel. The first impression was the strongest, so after Ruan Xia entered the novel and met Qin Yu, she thought Qin Yu was a pretty good man despite the trouble his painstaking efforts had caused her. Although the original owner had easily manipulated him, his trait of being a loyal dog would always make readers more fond of him. But now, Ruan Xia wanted to curse him out for being trash.
What loyal dog? What good man? Ruan Xia thought he was worse than Duan Chi.
Although Duan Chi was stupid, oblivious, and had rushed to Song Tingshen’s office to have him divorce her, he had always taken responsiblity for his actions and kept her out of it. From a certain perspective, he could be considered protecting her reputation.
As for Qin Yu? No matter what kind of intimate relationship he had with the original owner in his past life, she was married to Song Tingshen in this life. Nothing had happened between her and Qin Yu. At most, they only had an employer and employee relationship. In order to cause conflict between her and Song Tingshen, he had said these ambiguous words to him. He wanted Song Tingshen to misunderstand that something had already happened between them.
What kind of position was Qin Yu putting her in? When he was saying these words about her, he was splashing dirty water on her. And, this dirty water wasn’t ordinary dirty water.
Ruan Xia felt that Qin Yu’s feelings for the original owner was obsession not love. To use this method to get someone, how many people could endure it? If you truly love someone, wouldn’t you rather hurt yourself than the person you love?
Even if the original owner was here, she probably wouldn’t recognize and accept it.
Ruan Xia had already decided earlier that she was going to be a white lotus that didn’t know anything. Qin Yu wanted to pour dirty water on her, but he should have looked at the situation. In this lifetime, she had nothing to do with him. Even if he laid everything bare from his past life, she had only met him a few times in this one. As long as Song Tingshen believed in her, it would be difficult for Qin Yu’s attempt to succeed. She didn’t have to be afraid of Qin Yu causing discord.
She scooted over to Song Tingshen. Smelling the scent of alcohol, she said with an aggrieved expression, “Do you believe whatever he says?”
Song Tingshen had a headache, but he still said, “I don’t believe him. That’s why I’m asking you.”
Song Tingshen didn’t know if a couple can truly believe in each other unconditionally. He only knew that he was human. He felt jealousy and anger. The only thing he could do is do his best to calm down and listen to her explanation with an open-mind and draw his own conclusions.
Ruan Xia lowered her head. She mulled over what to say for a while and finally quietly said, “Do you know why I resigned? On the day I went to the island, the receptionist gave me a first-class plane ticket. Everyone else had a ticket for economy class. I was very puzzled at the time. The receptionist said I was the lucky one that won the company raffle and the first-class ticket was the prize. I didn’t think too much of it. After I boarded the plane, I found out the person sitting next to me was CEO Qin. At that time, I didn’t know he was my boss. He was an entertaining conversationalist. After I arrived at the house with my coworkers, he came to our group dinner. It was only then that I found out he was my boss…”
Translator Ramblings: Has Ruan Xia forgotten that the only reason Duan Chi stopped harassing her with his unwanted attention is because Song Tingshen stepped in and indirectly forced him to stop? Even after she tells off Duan Chi, he ignores what she tells him. He doesn’t respect her choice. He tramples her rights under the excuse of being in love. He’s a male chauvinist disguised under the cover of being a gentleman. If she was a single woman, she would still have that stalker hounding her. It’s incredibly creepy that Duan Chi found out her address and sent her flowers. He won’t take her clear no for an answer.
Duan Chi and Qin Yu are both bad. There’s no reason to compare them and say one is better than the other.
