Ye Changqing didn't hide it and told the truth directly: "Your parents don't like me. Maybe it's because I've been in prison and divorced."
Zhao Qiuyan stared at Ye Changqing with her big, bright eyes. When Ye Changqing felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze, she finally spoke: "In fact, I think the fact that you've been in prison is your greatest virtue."
?
Ye Changqing was completely confused. "What do you mean? Do you have a thing for ex - convicts?"
He had heard of people who liked men in uniforms, those who liked muscular men, and those who liked bad - boy types.
Could it be that this ice - beauty liked men bad enough to go to prison?
Zhao Qiuyan gave Ye Changqing a disdainful look. "You went to prison because you took the blame for your wife. It shows that you are a responsible man. That's the most outstanding quality I see in you. Everything else... are flaws."
When talking about flaws, she remembered how Ye Changqing made up the lie that she needed a man to cure her illness just to get her.
She couldn't help feeling both angry and shy.
Ye Changqing had mixed feelings. He went to prison for Jin Yurong, but she divorced him.
This woman, Zhao Qiuyan, was just an onlooker, yet she appreciated his sacrifice. They were both women, but the difference was like heaven and earth.
Half - jokingly, he asked, "Do you mean... you like me because of this virtue?"
Zhao Qiuyan blushed slightly. She had to admit that it was because of this. She even thought that if Ye Changqing would sacrifice so much for her, she would never leave him even if it cost her life.
"I want to keep getting to know you."
Ye Changqing suddenly remembered something. "By the way, I can't marry into your family. I have to support my parents and daughter. I can't ask them to come and live in the Zhao family."
A smile appeared on Zhao Qiuyan's face. "I just said it casually. I won't make you marry into my family. I don't want to live in the Zhao family either. All the infighting there makes life too tiring."
Seeing the beautiful woman in front of him, Ye Changqing said, "If you say so, then I'm going to bed."
He climbed onto the bed directly and moved close to Zhao Qiuyan.
He smelled a faint fragrance, and his heart fluttered.
Zhao Qiuyan was so frightened that she leaned back. "You're at it again."
Ye Changqing saw Zhao Qiuyan leaning back, making her proud curves stand out even more prominently, almost bursting through the constraints of her clothes.
He couldn't help breathing faster. "What do you mean by 'again'?"
Zhao Qiuyan blushed and said, "I don't want to talk to you. I'm going to sleep."
She reached out and turned off the light, hugged the quilt, wrapped herself up, and lay on one side of the bed.
She pressed herself tightly against the edge of the bed to keep a distance from Ye Changqing.
Ye Changqing was burning with desire and couldn't sleep at all. "Let me ask you a question. If you've never eaten a tomato, would you know what it tastes like?"
Zhao Qiuyan was confused by this sudden question. In the darkness, hearing his heavy breathing beside her, her heart started to race. "No, I wouldn't know."
Ye Changqing asked again, "If you've never eaten a cucumber, would you know its taste?"
Zhao Qiuyan became more curious. "I don't know. What on earth are you trying to say?"
The corners of Ye Changqing's mouth turned up, and he showed a smile that only men could understand. "The same goes for men. If you've never experienced it, you won't know what a man is like. I, a real - life man, am right here in your bed. Don't miss the opportunity."
You...
In the darkness.
Zhao Qiuyan was so angry that she gritted her silver teeth. This man was so shameless, saying such things. Before, he used the pretext of curing her illness, and now he just said it outright.
"So you finally revealed your true intentions."
Ye Changqing smiled and said, "I knew you would misunderstand. In fact, I'm also thinking about your health. As a doctor, seeing that you have problems with your body but not treating them makes me extremely anxious."
Zhao Qiuyan raised her eyebrows. Here he goes again, using the excuse of treating illness. She was about to get angry when suddenly her phone rang.
She sat up and picked up the phone. It was her secretary calling. "Hello, what's the matter at this late hour?"
Liu Yuting sounded very worried. "There's a problem with a new drug we produced. Come back quickly and take a look."
Zhao Qiuyan's heart jumped to her throat. "What kind of problem? Explain clearly!"
Drug problems could endanger lives. Sometimes, a batch of drugs could affect many people's lives.
She was very nervous.
Liu Yuting sounded tense. "Two people are currently being rescued in the hospital. I don't know if there will be more. You're not here, and everyone doesn't know what to do. Come back by plane right away. I've already booked your ticket."
Zhao Qiuyan hung up the phone, immediately took off her pajamas, and then rummaged through the wardrobe for clothes to wear when going out.
Ye Changqing sat there, staring blankly at Zhao Qiuyan.
Oh my god!
Did she forget that there was a man in the bedroom?
The red fabric covered half of her snow - white, alluring curves.
Those curves...
Ye Changqing couldn't help swallowing.
Zhao Qiuyan found a shirt and put it on. While getting dressed, she continued to talk on the phone. When she accidentally turned her head and saw Ye Changqing, she suddenly screamed, "Oh, you..."
She suddenly remembered that there was a man in the bedroom.
In her haste, she only thought about changing clothes and forgot about it.
Ye Changqing's mouth was dry. "I just looked. I didn't have any other thoughts. Don't overthink it."
Zhao Qiuyan crossed her arms and scolded, "You're still looking... you pervert!"
Ye Changqing smacked his lips. "You took it off yourself... How am I a pervert? From a doctor's perspective, your bra is a bit small. It's too tight and not good for your health. I suggest you..."
Smack!
A piece of clothing flew over and landed on Ye Changqing's head.
"You bastard... you're a despicable doctor."
Ye Changqing quickly pulled the clothing off and saw that Zhao Qiuyan was almost dressed. "You misunderstood. I'm definitely a proper doctor. It's just that I've studied a lot and know about various things, including all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and infertility."
Zhao Qiuyan packed her luggage while urging, "Hurry up and pack your things. We're going back to Songjiang City now."
Ye Changqing felt a bit regretful. Being alone with a woman in a room like this, yet there was no deeper interaction.
He suspected that he was too honest.
Suddenly, he regretted it. One shouldn't be too honest, or else they'll get nothing.
Zhao Qiuyan finished packing her luggage and went downstairs with Ye Changqing.
Downstairs in the hall.
Zhao Mingtao and Zhang Yufen were entertaining Xiao Qingfeng.
Zhang Yufen said with a smile, "Auntie knows that you have feelings for my daughter Qiuyan, and I'm quite optimistic about you. As for that Ye Changqing, he's pestering Qiuyan shamelessly. Just think about it. He's an ex - convict and divorced. How could Qiuyan like him? Qiuyan has always been cold to him, but he's just too thick - skinned."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Qingfeng's eyes. "A little punk. I have a way to deal with him."
Zhao Mingtao nodded. "Sometimes, when men pursue women, they have to use some tricks. Don't be polite to Ye Changqing. I heard that the family has several pharmaceutical projects. One of them is being produced in Songjiang. You can talk to Qiuyan about cooperation and take the opportunity to improve your relationship."
Just then, Zhao Qiuyan and Ye Changqing came downstairs.
Zhao Mingtao quickly greeted his daughter, "Qiuyan, your classmate Qingfeng is here. You haven't seen each other for a long time. It's a good opportunity to catch up."
Zhao Qiuyan was a little surprised. "I didn't know my old classmate was here, but today is rather inconvenient. There's something wrong at the company, and I have to rush back immediately."
Seeing this, Zhang Yufen quickly said, "It just so happens that Qingfeng came by car. Let him drive you to the airport."
