Chapter 510 - 444 Cannon Fodder Dedicated in the 1990s 11
Qin Ye’s expression stiffened.
If he had known earlier that he would care about her so much, he would have never let her off so easily.
"I was busy with something before," he could only explain it this way.
He couldn’t very well say that he was previously indifferent to her, so much so that he didn’t even come home, could he?
"Um, just do your thing, I’m fine." It was just as well for her—she needed to think about how to make money.
Qin Ye: ...
Seeing her indifferent attitude, he felt quite uncomfortable inside.
After taking an interest in someone, he began to yearn for more.
He wanted to gain the other person’s attention.
His gaze rested on her face, and then an idea formed in his mind.
After considering it for a moment, he spoke, "...Do you want to come with me to the city?"
Rong Yan heard this and lifted her head, "To the city?"
Qin Ye’s gaze had been fixed beneath her face, so he didn’t miss the change in her expression. Knowing she seemed tempted by the question, he felt more encouraged, "You come to the city with me, and then the Rong Family won’t be able to find you. Besides, you can relax a bit in the city. If there’s anything you want to buy... the city stores have a wider selection."
Rong Yan was indeed persuaded.
Honestly, in this small town... she felt there weren’t many opportunities to make money.
If she went to the city, maybe she could find some business opportunities!
Moreover, she wanted to buy clothes, and the city offered more choices. Also, she needed to buy some books to bring back... her junior high school education was, frankly, a bit inadequate.
There were many things that were inconvenient. Even if she didn’t have a high-level diploma, if she read some books, she would at least have something to her name, right?
For things that couldn’t be shown... she could just say she was self-taught.
The small town didn’t have a big bookstore.
"Okay then, I’ll go with you."
Hearing her agreement, a smile tinged Qin Ye’s dark eyes, and he felt particularly pleased.
"Then pack light... You don’t have to bring anything; we can buy everything in the city. We can stay there for several days."
Qin Ye didn’t specify the number of days; in any case, if they wanted to return early, they could return early. If they decided to stay a few more days, that was fine too.
It didn’t matter either way.
"Alright." Rong Yan didn’t plan to bring clothes either; she didn’t want any of the original owner’s clothes.
But if she really was going to buy new ones, then the money... wouldn’t be enough.
"Oh, and bring the money from yesterday with you. All that money is for you to buy whatever you want, don’t worry about saving. I’ll also be collecting a payment for a project in the next few days, which will be a few thousand."
The message Qin Ye wanted to convey to her was clear... that he had the ability to make money, he wasn’t the delinquent the rumors made him out to be.
He could support her.
Rong Yan couldn’t just take his money for nothing, but right now she needed it, since she couldn’t possibly earn any in such a short time.
"I’ll consider that money a loan from you... I’ll pay you back double later on."
Just give her some time.
Even if it was just half a year, she believed she could pay him back two or three times over without a problem.
Hearing her words, Qin Ye’s smile froze, and his happiness vanished.
Dark-faced, he said, "You’re my wife... why would you need to borrow money to spend? And also, Rong Yan, I’ll tell you again, no matter what happened before, you are now my wife. I won’t divorce, and it’s not possible for me to divorce."
Rong Yan: ...
Her head started to hurt again.
She could hardly tell him—I am actually not your wife.
She really didn’t understand what had gone wrong.
From the original owner’s memories, wasn’t he reluctant about this marriage? And it didn’t seem like there was any affection between them!
So how come, just after her arrival yesterday, he already changed?
Or was her memory mistaken?
Maybe she was being egotistical... but he couldn’t have developed feelings for her just yesterday because of her arrival, could he?
Did she really have that much charm?
It’s the same body!
Qin Ye forced himself to calm down as well, "Alright, let’s not talk about this. You eat breakfast first; then get ready, and we’ll head to the city in a bit."
He had no appetite whatsoever now.
Based on not wasting food, he ate with the enthusiasm of a waxen chew.
Rong Yan: ...
The two of them did not speak again.
Waiting for her to finish eating and return to her room.
It was only then that Qin Ye lifted his head, his mood simply could not be good.
Although he said they wouldn’t divorce just now, he still gave her six months in his heart, after all, he understood the principle that a melon forced off its vine is not sweet.
Rong Yan had nothing much to pack; she took the original owner’s ID card... and the money Qin Ye had given her last night.
After all, leaving the money at home was not safe.
It would be bad if someone took it away.
She found an unattractive cloth bag and stuffed the pack of money inside, then she put the scattered fifty or so yuan in her pocket.
By the time she came out with the bag on her back, Qin Ye was already standing in the yard.
In the short time, he had tidied himself up, wearing a white shirt and a pair of slacks.
Indeed, the saying "clothes make the man" was true... He looked quite handsome now.
Qin Ye felt somewhat uneasy inside, but he still forced himself to appear calm.
"Are you ready? Then let’s go!"
Rong Yan nodded, "Okay."
As she walked to his side, the two of them left together.
"I’ll lock the door first."
Qin Ye did not want the Liang Family coming to rummage through his home.
Rong Yan stood by, waiting.
Just then, Aunt Tian from next door came out, and she was quite surprised to see the young couple actually leaving together.
"Qin Ye’s Wife, where are you two heading?"
For the first time, Qin Ye found the neighbor extremely endearing... her calling out ’Qin Ye’s Wife’ was really pleasant to his ears.
The corners of his mouth lifted uncontrollably.
"Auntie, we’re planning to take a stroll in the city," Rong Yan didn’t plan to explain too much.
Aunt Tian: ...
To the city? And the couple going together.
How much would that cost?
They’re both unemployed at the moment, and they shouldn’t squander what little money they have, right?
While she was taken aback, Qin Ye and Rong Yan had already walked away.
The pair reached the bus station, and a bus was just about to depart.
"Wife, let’s get on this one."
There are no paths in this world at first; where many people walk, a path is made.
For example, he had found it hard to say the word at first, but once he did, he found that everything became natural.
Rong Yan: ...
They got on the bus.
There were just two seats available.
Qin Ye gave Rong Yan the seat by the window.
"Wife, you sit inside."
Rong Yan realized something; he seemed to have become addicted to calling her ’wife.’
However, she didn’t say much on the bus.
After all, her identity as his wife was a fact now.
Once Qin Ye saw her seated, he sat down too and turned his head to look at the person beside him.
At such close proximity, he could smell a very comfortable scent coming from her.
Also, on closer inspection, he found she was really beautiful.
Realizing his gaze had lingered on her face a bit too long, he then said, "It’ll take about two hours, you can sleep a bit."
"Mhm," Rong Yan responded indifferently, mainly because the smell inside the bus was too unpleasant.
