Chapter 287: Caught in the act
Shen Yong was worried that there might be people passing by at any time. It was not a suitable place. Therefore, he did not proceed to the next step. Taking a deep breath, he held Sun Qinglian in his arms and said in a low voice, "Don’t worry. As long as you’re obedient, I won’t leave you."
"I’ll be obedient," Sun Qinglian’s eyelashes were still stained with sparkling tears. She nodded obediently like a little kitten and kissed Shen Yong’s neck and Adam’s apple. Feeling wronged, she asked, "Brother Yong, are you going to marry Qiao Qing?" Her eyes reddened again, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She sobbed. "I, I’m not jealous. It’s just that I’ve always dreamed of being your bride. I’m a little sad that I can’t marry you. That’s all." After saying that, she stretched out her index finger and thumb and made a small distance, looking pitiful and cute.
"Silly girl," Sun Qinglian’s tears almost melted Shen Yong’s heart. He could not help but lower his head and gently kiss away the tears at the corner of Sun Qinglian’s eyes. Then, he deliberately asked her, "Are you sure you are only a little sad?"
Sun Qinglian’s eyes widened. She looked at Shen Yong and hesitated for a while. Then, she widened the distance between them by two fingers. She sobbed, "Actually, it’s a little bit more... Brother Yong, am I very greedy?" As she spoke, she was about to cry again. However, she tried hard to control herself. "I already have someone so good like you, yet I still want to have you to myself. I, I’m greedy."
"You can be even more greedy, silly girl," Shen Yong chuckled. He lifted his hand to caress Sun Qinglian’s hair and said in a low voice, "Don’t worry, the only person who can be Mrs. Shen, in the end, is you."
"Brother Yong, what do you mean?" Sun Qinglian’s eyes were filled with surprise. She lifted her head to look at Shen Yong, "Is... is it what I think it is? But, what about Qiao Qing?" She frowned and said, "I know that I am useless. I love you too much. I would rather let others scold me for being shameless. Yet I want to be with you. However, Qiao Qing is, after all, the heir of the Qiao Corporation. How could she be willing to share you with me? I know that you are with Qiao Qing for a reason. Brother Yong, I don’t want to make things difficult for you."
Sun Qinglian looked considerate. Her eyes were red as she pretended to be strong. "It’s okay. It doesn’t matter, even if I don’t have a status, as long as I can be with you. Don’t make things difficult for me. It’s just a wedding and the title of Mrs. Shen. I, I don’t mind." Tears flowed down her face. However, she still tried her best to smile brightly. "As long as you have me in your heart, it doesn’t matter if I’m your bride or not. I’m happy as long as you are happy."
No man could refuse such deep affection. Sun Qinglian might say she didn’t mind, but these were the most important in a woman’s life. No woman would refuse a status.
