Chapter 1050: Meeting Like This Was So Awkward

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qin Qing immediately caught sight of Lin Che. His eyes instinctively brightened.

Lin Che was as slender as always. Despite her pregnancy, her figure did not appear bloated. Her youthful face had a hint of a smile on it, yet she was different from that naive and innocent young girl she used to be. Right now, she looked gentle and elegant. Her comportment had a noble air to it. To others, she was like a white pearl in the water, shining gently yet appearing extremely imposing.

She did not look as careless as she had in the past, either. Although she walked in a very lively manner, she had a lofty air about her. She did not seem at all inferior to others.

Even though she did not behave arrogantly at all, the arrogance was already in her bones. This was because she was now full of confidence and full of love. She did not lack attention and no longer desired attention and love from other people. She was simply so carefree and did as she wished. She no longer had to tiptoe around others.

On the contrary, this made her seem like a rare orchid blooming in the valley, with a beautiful and quiet air lingering about her. One could immediately see her from afar.

Lin Che was in a long dress with a shawl around her shoulders and covering her belly. Beside her, Yu Minmin was dressed even more casually. As her belly was too big, she staggered sideways a little as she walked.

Lin Che held Yu Minmin to support her. The moment she looked up, she saw Xue Mengqi across them. However, when she squinted her eyes, she noticed that the person standing beside Xue Mengqi was...

Unexpectedly, Qin Qing.

By this time, Xue Mengqi had already made her way over to them. She immediately smiled cheerfully and said to Lin Che, “First Sister-In-Law, Second Sister-In-Law, you’re here.”

Lin Che’s eyes were still fixed on Qin Qing.

Qin Qing was a little different than he had been in the past. He was still handsome, but his expression was much gloomier, and he looked much more mature. The frosty expression on his face was paired with a faint demeanor befitting of a company president.

But he still seemed like Qin Qing.

Xue Mengqi immediately hooked her arm through Qin Qing’s and said, “Let me introduce someone to you. This is my boyfriend, Qin Qing. Qin Qing, come and greet them. Call them Sisters-In-Law.”

Qin Qing’s eyes paused. He looked at the two of them and said, “Nice to meet you, Sisters-In-Law.”

Lin Che felt even more strongly that she had terrible luck. Hearing Qin Qing call her sister-in-law... felt strange for some reason.

But as she looked at Qin Qing, it seemed that he did not want Lin Che to reveal the relationship between the two of them. Lin Che’s eyes twitched. She was not as foolish as she had been in the past. Naturally, she knew how to read body language, so she went along with him and smiled, saying, “Nice to meet you.”

Qin Qing stretched his hand out for a handshake. He behaved in a very gentlemanly manner.

Lin Che shook his hand simply.

Xue Mengqi had a smile on her face. She looked at Qin Qing very delightfully. At a glance, Lin Che felt that she seemed to love Qin Qing truly.

Lin Che blinked dumbly and did not speak any further. She merely looked at the couple, feeling a little uneasy for a moment.

Qin Qing stood there looking like the epitome of a gentleman. Beside him, Xue Mengqi said, “Qin Qing, our house is so big. Let me give you a tour. Let’s not disturb the two sisters-in-law. It’s important for them to maintain their health for the babies. They can’t walk about too much.”

Lin Che looked at the two of them. “Go ahead and enjoy yourselves. No need to pay us any mind.”

Xue Mengqi smiled. She left with Qin Qing’s arm around hers extremely intimately.

After watching the two of them leave, Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che and asked, “What the hell is this?”

She had nearly been unable to contain herself earlier. Seeing that the legendary boyfriend of Xue Mengqi who would be brought here today was actually Qin Qing, wasn’t that Lin Che’s classmate in the past, Lin Li’s fiance?

Lin Che said, “I’m not sure either... but it seems that Qin Qing probably doesn’t want Xue Mengqi to find out about our relationship either.”

Yu Minmin said in disbelief, “I really feel as if I’m about to go blind. But Xue Mengqi is quite impressive. She even managed to seduce such a young man.”

Lin Che merely sighed and said, “I haven’t contacted Qin Qing for a very long time. I only saw him out and about for abit a while ago. I don’t know how he’s doing right now, either.”

Yu Minmin said, “He’s probably doing pretty well right now. The Qin family is developing very rapidly. He has been termed the rising star recently. He appears on television and is mentioned on television from time to time for no reason. Many people find him handsome and capable. He, along with three other pretty impressive men, are known as the Four Young Masters of the Capital City. They are very well-regarded. There are numerous fangirls, all waiting in line to sleep with him.”

So such a thing was actually happening.

“What’s more.” Yu Minmin continued, “you’ve probably never visited his Weibo page. Whatever he posts on Weibo there will be a few thousand comments under it. He’s not a celebrity, but he’s more popular than one because many netizens these days also like young, handsome men in the finance industry.”

Alright then. The world was truly changing too quickly. In her moment of inattention, Qin Qing had already gained a nickname of his own.

Yu Minmin was taken care of extremely well. She rested there while drinking something. There were many people inside. From a distance, Lin Che saw Qin Qing being praised highly by others. It seemed that everyone was very satisfied with him.

Just then, Gu Jingze called.

Every night, he would call just before bedtime and the two of them would chat for a bit.

He probably called much earlier today because he knew that she was going to the old Gu residence.

Lin Che picked up the call. “Aren’t you busy today?”

Gu Jingze said, “Hn. I’m not very busy.”

But Lin Che could hear him on the other end of the line still typing away.

Her heart ached for a moment. She felt that he had it very tough.

Furthermore, despite being so busy, he still had to take into consideration her schedule and call her every day. He even remembered clearly every single thing she did. He knew that she was returning to the old residence today and specially called at this time again.

Lin Che said, “If you’re busy, you can ignore me first.”

“I’m not busy. I’m just looking at some documents. You went home, right?”

“Yes.”

“Did Xue Mengqi go back there today?”

“Yes. So they told you everything,” Lin Che said.

Gu Jingze hummed in affirmation and stopped typing. It seemed that he had leaned backward.

Lin Che said, “I only found out today that the Xue Mengqi’s boyfriend is Qin Qing. Did you know that?”

“Oh. Someone told me before,” Gu Jingze said.

One quality of Gu Jingze’s, which Lin Che admired immensely, was that he seemed to have an ability to plan strategies for everything. No matter the time, everything seemed to be in the palm of his hand. Thus, she did not have to say anything for him to know.

“She even specially brought him to the Gu residence. It was seriously awkward when we bumped into them,” Lin Che said.

Gu Jingze said, “It’s because she wants to prove that she has the capability to vie for the position of mistress.”

“Vie? Am I not her only competitor?”

“Of course not. The clan is split into factions too. Her faction is the third faction in the external clan. Her father’s side of the family, the Xues, lead this faction. They conduct business dealings overseas. Apart from her, there’s another faction that does not like competing – the first faction. That’s the most stable family and poses no threat to her. The internal clan has a faction, the second faction, that always opposes her for the purpose of snatching away the position of mistress. However, their ability to compete pales a little in comparison to Xue Mengqi’s. Because they’re from the internal clan, to begin with, the clan fears that the power of the inner clan will increase if they vie for the position, which will be detrimental to the entire clan. Thus, they usually wouldn’t want them to obtain the position of mistress.”
