Chapter 631: Chapter 565: The Early Deceased First Wife in ‘Son-in-law’ 28
Qin Ye felt a rush of excitement when he heard Rong Yan ask, “I’m here to work.” He seized the opportunity to strike up a conversation and quickly asked, “And you?”
“I’m here to attend university; I was accepted into a local college and came over early,” replied Rong Yan candidly, her impression of him already quite favorable.
After all, her first instinct upon seeing him… he didn’t seem like the type to harbor sinister thoughts.
Qin Ye’s eyes lit up as he looked at her, sincerely complimenting her, “You’re really amazing!”
Attending university was something he hadn’t considered.
Because his circumstances didn’t allow for it, and also, he was more interested in making money.
Rong Yan humbly said, “Just average.”
“So which university are you at? Can I come visit you?” he asked, his expression a bit anxious. “I’m sorry, if it’s inconvenient for you, then I won’t ask.”
Rong Yan: …
Your gaze doesn’t look like you don’t want to know.
“What’s inconvenient about that? I’m at Jing City University. If you want to find me, then come visit. I’m from the Finance Department.”
“Great!” Even if Qin Ye didn’t attend university, he knew there was still time before school started!
With that, he could spend the next two months getting to know everything.
About five bus stops later, Qin Ye said, “We’re here.”
The two got off the bus together.
The hotel was easy to find; there were plenty of them around here.
“This one looks good! It looks pretty clean,” Qin Ye said, pointing at the hotel in front of them.
“Okay.” They walked into the hotel together.
Their arrival immediately caught the attention of the landlady.
Mainly because the two of them were really quite good-looking.
“Landlady, we need accommodations. Two separate rooms, please.” Qin Ye took out his ID card and some money. “Rong Yan, your ID card?”
Rong Yan produced her own.
The landlady thought they were a couple but as long as they weren’t staying in the same room, she definitely wasn’t going to pry.
“I’ll register you. It’s forty yuan for two rooms. Also, a twenty yuan deposit is needed.”
Then, glancing at the young man’s attire, she added hastily, “Though it might seem expensive here, our rooms are well-equipped with baths and air conditioning, and we also provide high security and cleanliness.”
Qin Ye immediately took out one hundred yuan, “We’ll rent for two days first.”
The landlady beamed, “Alright! Once I finish registering you, I’ll show you to your rooms.”
Qin Ye: … He lost his composure for a moment, realizing he should have checked the rooms before registering. But he was too excited.
However, given such high rent, it couldn’t be too bad. The lobby alone was telling.
Rong Yan saw how quickly Qin Ye put forward one hundred yuan and was somewhat astonished.
She had thought with the clothes he was wearing, his pockets would be empty.
At that moment, she didn’t insist on splitting the cost.
The landlady quickly finished the registration and handed them back their IDs.
Taking the keys, she said, “Let’s go! I’ll take you upstairs.”
Qin Ye and Rong Yan followed behind her, and the trio arrived on the third floor.
“These are your rooms,” the landlady handed them the keys. “If you need anything, just come to the front desk.”
With that, she left.
Qin Ye looked at Rong Yan, “Go into your room and have a rest. We’ll go eat together in a bit.”
Not only did she need a shower, but he also needed to clean himself up. Otherwise, he really looked like a beggar.
He’d dressed like this because he was originally planning to go to the Wang Family.
But now, he regretted it. If he’d known he would meet her, he wouldn’t have dressed like this.
“Okay, here’s the money for the stay,” Rong Yan said, knowing that she couldn’t take advantage of him, given that they weren’t really related.
So she handed him fifty yuan for the hotel stay.
Qin Ye glanced at the money being offered to him, and his good mood vanished instantly.
“I…” Don’t want it.
He didn’t voice the last two words as Rong Yan stuffed the money into his hand, “Even actual brothers settle their accounts clearly, so even as friends, I can’t let you pay for the hotel.”
Qin Ye’s gloomy eyes brightened at her last statement, “So we are friends now?”
Rong Yan: …
He didn’t look the least bit foolish.
Yet, as he fixed his gaze on her, clearly wanting an answer, it was hard to say no.
She hesitantly nodded, “Yes, we’re friends!”
Qin Ye’s face beamed with joy.
“Friend, hello! My name is Qin Ye, this year’s nominal age is twenty-one, actual age twenty. From S province, I’m the only child in my family.”
Rong Yan: …
Perhaps, she shouldn’t have been so talkative just now.
“… My name’s Rong Yan. Nominal age nineteen, actual age eighteen. I’m also an only child.”
To prevent him from saying anything else outlandish, she quickly added, “Let’s go freshen up, and we’ll meet to eat in half an hour.”
Qin Ye promptly nodded in agreement, “Okay!”
They each entered their rooms.
Rong Yan took a look at the room and was satisfied; it really did look clean.
She took out her clothes and headed into the bathroom… not having bathed for a few days made her feel really uncomfortable.
Half an hour later.
Rong Yan’s room door was knocked on. She went to open it, and her eyes lit up when she saw the newly dressed figure.
If the person she had seen earlier resembled a migrant worker, now standing before her was someone looking like an office employee.
“This outfit of yours…”
Qin Ye immediately became nervous.
Rong Yan smiled, “It suits you well, very handsome.”
While Qin Ye’s dark complexion hid any blushing, his earlobes certainly turned especially red.
“… You look good too.”
She was attractive before, and now even more so. Plus, he could smell the faint fragrance coming from her.
Rong Yan: …
This guy seems so shy! Tall and bashful, it just struck a chord with her.
“Let’s go eat!”
“Alright! But this time, can I treat?” Qin Ye didn’t want to have to hand her money again later while dining.
Rong Yan looked at him as his eyes eagerly fixed on hers… making her slightly uncomfortable.
“Okay.”
It’s just a meal; it wouldn’t bankrupt him. If anything, she could treat the next time.
She had thought earlier that he was broke, but now he was wearing leather shoes, which didn’t look like he was short on money.
Hearing her agreement, Qin Ye was exceptionally pleased.
“Let’s go!”
They headed downstairs.
When they came out, the landlady, who was still sitting at the front desk, nearly dropped her jaw in surprise.
The contrast in their demeanors from when they went upstairs to now was stark!
If earlier it was a resemblance of a destitute worker and a wealthy young lady, now it was like a high-quality man with the same young lady.
Indeed, those who could afford her rooms were certainly not poor.
