Chapter 353: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Yun Qing was a little confused. What happened? They hadn't argued.
What gives him the right to come and go as he pleases?
She grabbed her phone and called He Chengyi, asking fiercely, "He Chengyi, why did you leave without saying goodbye? I didn't do anything to you!"
"You can't be angry just because I told you not to hug me so tightly last night, can you? How can you blame me? Don't I need to breathe?"
She spoke rapidly and aggressively, her voice so loud that it echoed in the otherwise silent conference room.
In the conference room, a group of people sat upright with serious expressions. The men and women all exuded an air of elites, seemingly uninterested in the boss's private affairs.
In reality, they were feeling like they were being scratched by a cat.
They have a boss's wife now? That's so sudden, I hadn't heard anything about it before!
I never expected that President He, who usually seems so cold and aloof, would actually hug someone so tightly that they couldn't breathe.
He Chengyi gestured for the meeting to pause for a moment, then picked up his phone and walked out of the meeting room, saying helplessly, "Aren't you downstairs yet? I left you a note and breakfast, they're on the table."
"Didn't you say the production crew was coming this afternoon to install cameras? I'll pack my things up and put them downstairs at Lin Xu's place."
"I'll move back after you finish filming the variety show."
Initially, He Chengyi did intend to stay at Yun Qing's house to cultivate their relationship, and he also wanted to use this live variety show to let everyone know that their relationship was special.
He had no attachment to anything in this world; he never found the things that ordinary people considered beautiful to be beautiful.
His world was black and white and boring, except for Yun Qing.
She was the only one who was dazzling and captivating, the one he desperately wanted to hold onto.
There was only one dazzling light in his life, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
However, after discovering that Yun Qing genuinely enjoyed acting and was putting in the effort, he promptly suppressed those thoughts.
He likes her, and it's his business how much he's willing to give. But there's no reason for him to force her to give back just because he likes her, to disrupt her beloved career, and to make her bear this fabricated relationship.
He knew Yun Qing was soft-hearted, and if he insisted on staying, she probably wouldn't have the heart to kick him out.
Even if he deliberately appears in the live stream and does something that causes misunderstanding, as long as he acts pitiful and innocent, he can still deceive her into forgiving him.
But he wasn't that despicable.
It's fine to play the victim to elicit pity, but using your miserable life to force her to give up what's important to her to accommodate him is moral blackmail.
The Matchmaker System, now utterly exhausted from running back and forth, couldn't help but ask: "Why aren't you going crazy anymore?"
[In your style, shouldn't you have gone mad, ruined her career, clipped her wings, prevented others from ever coveting her again, and ensured she could go nowhere but by your side?]
He Chengyi: [Are you seriously ill?]
system:!!!
Who's really sick?!
The system truly couldn't understand him, and humbly asked, "So why is that? You're the kind of person who'll go crazy to achieve your goals, even willing to throw away your life."
If you truly love her, can you just stand by and watch her become more and more famous, more and more dazzling, and more and more people fall in love with her?
It spoke with a hint of doubt and a sliver of hope, wondering if He Chengyi's unusual behavior meant he didn't actually like Song Yunqing that much.
The reason he insisted on marrying Song Yunqing was to oppose it.
He Chengyi said disdainfully, "What would a lunatic like you know about love?"
Although he has gone mad, he is not mentally ill.
He hoped that his love for her would be a beautiful thing, not the beginning of her misfortune.
She was a dazzling light, and he wanted to grasp her. He could strive to walk towards the light for her sake, but he couldn't selfishly scheme to drag her step by step into the darkness, possess her, and then watch helplessly as she dimmed little by little until she was completely swallowed by the darkness.
How could he bear to part with it?
After realizing she had misunderstood, Yun Qing felt a little guilty, remembering how loud she had been. After a moment of silence, she muttered weakly, "Then why didn't you tell me beforehand last night?"
He Chengyi said good-naturedly, "It's my fault."
Yun Qing felt even more guilty. "I was wrong too. Um... should we still buy the sibling outfits?"
Matching outfits are a must-have!
"I'll have a designer create a special design. Once the design is finished, I'll show it to you, and you can tell me your thoughts."
Yun Qing didn't have any particular thoughts; she was just trying to fulfill He Chengyi's wish to wear matching outfits with his child.
After chatting for a couple more minutes, Yun Qing couldn't help but say, "The production crew is just here to install cameras today. The live broadcast won't start for another two days. If you can't sleep these next couple of days, you can still come."
A smile appeared in He Chengyi's eyes. "Okay, I'll be back after get off work tonight. Remember to eat breakfast, and heat it up yourself if it gets cold."
"Ok!"
Yun Qing sounded somewhat happy.
He Chengyi wasn't sure if it was because he would be going back that night or because of breakfast, but he felt somewhat uncertain that it was more likely because of breakfast.
However, he made breakfast, so Yun Qing was happy because of him!
After hanging up the phone, Yun Qing suddenly slapped her forehead, remembering something.
It seems she forgot to tell He Chengyi about the fake marriage!
Forget it...
Let's talk about it when he needs it later. As it stands, the He family probably doesn't have the power to force He Chengyi into a marriage alliance.
Yun Qing washed up and happily went downstairs to have breakfast.
He Chengyi had no idea what he had missed from beginning to end.
?
When He Chengyi returned home that evening, he entered the password to open the door. Inside, he saw Yun Qing standing in front of the television, watching the show intently, occasionally raising her hands and kicking her legs in imitation.
He Chengyi watched for a while, then walked over and put his arm around her waist from behind. He bent down and rested his chin on her shoulder, hanging weakly on her body, and mumbled, "Tired... let me hold you for a while."
Yun Qing was quite aware of her "miracle cure" and had gotten somewhat used to being held by him. She simply turned her head to look at him and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
"not yet……"
He Chengyi's chin rubbed closer and closer to her neck, until finally his nose brushed against the back of her ear, and Yun Qing couldn't help but reach out and push his head away.
He Chengyi looked at her with a pitiful expression.
Yun Qing: ...
She could only reach out and pat his head again, comforting him, "It's not that I dislike you, I'm just ticklish."
Seemingly afraid he might misunderstand, she emphasized, "Really! Try it if you don't believe me!"
As she spoke, she grabbed He Chengyi's finger and poked it on her waist, then poked it again.
Huh? It doesn't itch?
Then He Chengyi suddenly poked her. Yun Qing instantly made a big movement to dodge backward, but she couldn't dodge because He Chengyi was blocking her from behind.
After being poked by He Chengyi again, she hurriedly grabbed his hand, her voice trembling with laughter, and said fiercely, "He Chengyi! Stop it! I'm going to get angry!"
The two were joking around when He Chengyi looked up and saw a girl wearing glasses standing frozen in the kitchen doorway, holding a plate in each hand, staring at them in disbelief.
He Chengyi frowned, let go of her hand, and stood up straight.
Yun Qing looked up and comforted him, "It's okay, it's my assistant Xiao Wan, she's one of us."
"Oh." He Chengyi immediately clung to her again.
Yun Qing quickly grabbed his hand and warned him warily, "Don't tickle me anymore, or I won't let you hug me tonight!" Go have nightmares!
Xiao Wan: ...What should I do? I feel so helpless...
Actually, Sister Song, you don't have to treat me like an outsider.
