A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Chapter 287 Coaxing People

As Abby watched Qin Yiche and Lin Ling leave, she hurriedly said goodbye to the entertainment company boss who was still in the private room, and pulled Chen Qianqian away from the scene.

After returning home, she couldn't help but persuade her, "Qianqian, the signing terms offered by Royal Dynasty Entertainment are already very good. There is definitely no other entertainment company in the industry that can offer us such terms. I know you are not short of money. Since you want to break free from the constraints of your family, having your own career is definitely part of your confidence."

The two had known each other for many years, and Abby had always taken care of Chen Qianqian like an older sister, so what she said came from the bottom of her heart.

"I don't know what's going on with President Qin, but... I think you might have misunderstood something," Abby pointed out directly.

Sometimes, those involved are blinded by their own perspective, while bystanders see things more clearly. Abby could tell that President Qin of Royal Dynasty Entertainment didn't seem interested in Qianqian, especially since he already had a girlfriend.

“We can’t afford to lose both our wife and our money. We should sign the contract sooner rather than later and focus on our careers. Anyway, your family isn’t pressuring you to get married or trying to find you a marriage partner, so we can put it off as long as we can,” Abby suggested.

Chen Qianqian remained silent for a while, then finally said, "I'm not just doing this to appease my family's arranged marriage..."

The implication was that she still had feelings for Qin Yiche, otherwise she wouldn't have come all the way from Hong Kong to Jiangcheng.

“Since you like her, then go tell President Qin that the Chen Qianqian I know has always been very brave,” Abby said finally, then left the room, leaving Chen Qianqian to think about it on her own.

After Lin Ling and Qin Yiche returned home, Lin Ling put the two boxes of main dishes they had packed into the refrigerator, preparing to eat them that evening.

Qin Yiche seemed to have nothing to do. He came back, sat on the sofa, and started playing on his phone.

Lin Ling walked closer and saw that he was playing a match-3 game.

She didn't go back to her room, but sat down on the sofa.

Looking at Qin Yiche, she wondered how she should start the conversation.

She cleared her throat, but Qin Yiche didn't even lift his head.

After a while, she coughed lightly twice, and Qin Yiche finally reacted. He put down his phone, looked up, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Ling shook her head. "No, it's not."

Qin Yiche was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions and picked up his phone again to continue playing the game.

Lin Ling quickly called out to her, "Um..."

Qin Yiche looked up at her again, "Is something the matter?"

“A little bit,” Lin Ling nodded.

Qin Yiche sat up straight, ready to listen attentively to what Lin Ling had to say.

Seeing how serious he was, Lin Ling became a little nervous again. "You, just relax..."

Qin Yiche raised an eyebrow, seemingly not understanding what she meant.

Lin Ling stopped worrying about it, took a deep breath, and said, "Um... I'll move out as soon as I find a place. I'm already looking, it won't take too long..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Yiche interrupted her, "Wait a minute, why are you suddenly moving out? Are you not comfortable living here?"

Lin Ling shook her head.

"Unhappy with your stay?"

Lin Ling shook her head again.

"Why is that?" Qin Yiche asked with a slightly serious tone.

Lin Ling felt a pang of sadness and a sense of grievance. She turned away and replied curtly, "You have a girlfriend now, so it's not appropriate for me to keep living here!"

Qin Yiche stood up abruptly, “When did I have a girlfriend! No, isn’t my girlfriend you?!” His voice was a bit loud, and Lin Ling also got a little anxious and stood up as well.

"I'm not serious. We signed a contract for 100,000 yuan a month," she said angrily.

When the contract was mentioned, everyone immediately fell silent.

After a few seconds of silence, Qin Yiche said, "Then I won't give you any more money." Then he plopped back down on the sofa.

Upon hearing his words, Lin Ling's mood became even more depressed. She had never been in a relationship before and didn't know what it should be like, but after seeing the news about Qin Yiche and Chen Qianqian yesterday, she had been feeling down all day, feeling very uncomfortable and upset.

"Okay, let's terminate the contract starting today. You don't need to pay for the past two weeks either. I've taken advantage of you so much before..." Lin Ling said with a self-deprecating smile.

Originally, I wanted to muster up the courage to ask Qin Yiche about his relationship with Chen Qianqian, but now there's no need to ask anymore; Qin Yiche's meaning is quite clear.

She had already accepted the news reports, so she didn't find anything unusual about Qin Yiche's rather lukewarm attitude towards Chen Qianqian at noon today, simply assuming it was a way of avoiding danger.

After all, the other party has a lot of popularity, so they will definitely have some reservations.

After finishing speaking, Lin Ling lowered her head and stood up, preparing to go back to her room. Before leaving, she added, "I'll pack my things and leave them in my room tomorrow. Once this filming wraps up, I'll move them out. After that, I'll be staying at the film set and won't be coming back. If it's inconvenient for you, I can find a hotel to move my things temporarily. Thank you for everything during this time..."

Qin Yiche felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. He suddenly stood up from the sofa, strode up behind Lin Ling, grabbed her arm, and tried to lift her head to look at him.

He wanted to pry open this person's head to see what was inside. That's not what he meant at all. How could she understand him so well?

He cupped Lin Ling's face in his hands and then noticed her slightly red eyes.

Qin Yiche froze, speechless and unable to move.

Lin Ling was also embarrassed. She didn't want to cry, but she felt so sad that she couldn't control herself.

She lowered her head in a panic and choked out, "I'm going back to my room now."

Qin Yiche held her wrist tightly, gripping her firmly.

"Let go first," Lin Ling said to him.

Qin Yiche answered irrelevantly, his other hand pinching Lin Ling's chin as he looked at her wet eyes, "Why are you crying?"

"Let go first." Lin Ling looked away awkwardly, not daring to meet his gaze.

She couldn't bring herself to say the answer that lay deep in her heart.

Yes, she liked Qin Yiche. She didn't know when she started liking him, but now the voice in her heart was telling her that she had fallen for the person in front of her.

"Answer me first," Qin Yiche pressed Lin Ling.

Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks. Lin Ling bit her lip, looking utterly pitiful. Qin Yiche couldn't bear to pressure her any longer, so he released his grip on her chin, but kept his hand tightly around her wrist.

He sighed softly and coaxed gently, "Why are you crying? I didn't do anything."

"You yelled at me!" Lin Ling cried louder and louder, as if she had given up all hope, and shouted.

Qin Yiche hurriedly wiped away her tears, saying softly, "Okay, okay, don't cry. I wasn't yelling at you, I really wasn't. Please don't raise your voice like that again, okay?"
