Only Favoring His Wife Chapter 7
While he gazed at the car window, deep in thought, Qin Mucheng, who sat beside him, suddenly remarked, "We still have about half an hour to go."
"Hmm?" He couldn't comprehend Qin Mucheng's sudden comment.
Ye Yunjin had to shift his attention from the window, turning his head to Qin Mucheng, his clear black eyes silently questioning.
Observing Ye Yunjin's puzzled expression, Qin Mucheng began to feel restless. He discreetly clenched his right hand on the steering wheel into a fist and lightly rubbed his index finger and thumb together.
Maintaining a composed demeanor, he suggested, "If you're feeling bored, I can play some music. Would you like to listen?"
Surprisingly, this was exactly what Qin Mucheng had on his mind to convey. Ye Yunjin was taken aback as he gazed directly at Qin Mucheng's determined profile.
However, he couldn't control his response and involuntarily uttered, "Sure."
Immediately after uttering those words, he realized the weight of what he had just agreed to. Just as he contemplated adding more words to alleviate the situation, Qin Mucheng had already started a song.
Ye Yunjin was left with no choice but to suppress his unspoken thoughts and sit up attentively, quietly immersing himself in the music.
In an effort to ease his anxious nerves, Ye Yunjin listened attentively and soon recognized that the song playing was in English.
The tune is gentle, evoking a calming sensation, yet it's evident that it may be a song about concealed affection:
I find myself right here,
Near your side, so near,
And it's still so...
Just gazing at you,
It's all I can pursue...
While these lyrics played, Ye Yunjin found himself inadvertently reminiscing about the bittersweet emotions that were once his own:
The initial time he fell in love was when he stumbled upon a scene: someone with their eyes closed, leaning against a banyan tree in the afternoon sunlight.
His second bout of falling in love with him occurred with a casual glimpse on the playground. There was no hint of anxiety in the midst of the chaos; he maintained his poise while leaping up and taking a shot.
The third time, the fourth time... the cycle continued, propelled by his heart and his affection. When it came to the college entrance exam, he had only one choice - the very school he was already attending.
However, upon entering the same school, even landing in the same class as he had hoped for, he came to realize that...
There was already someone else by his side.After fervently pursuing it, he ultimately faced disappointment and made the choice to relinquish his efforts.
This decision stemmed from the fact that Ye Yunjin's heart was consumed by thoughts of Qin Mucheng, yet in Qin Mucheng's heart, the sole name held no resemblance to him, Ye Yunjin.
However, a twist of fate led their paths to intertwine once more. This time, he disregarded the objections of those around him and tenaciously pursued the opportunity. Even if it meant committing himself to another, he was resolute in marrying into the Qin family and becoming Qin Mucheng's spouse.
All of this was driven by his sheer unwillingness to give up. After persisting for numerous years, he remained steadfast in his belief that, at some point, luck would favor him, even if it meant sacrificing everything.However, it appeared as though fate deemed him too self-centered, as even when he drew near, he received no hint of acknowledgment from the person in question.
Sharing the same residence for an entire month, he encountered nothing but apathy and disregard, as though he were entirely inconspicuous.
He contemplated that this outcome might truly be an insurmountable one. Yet, just as he considered releasing his grip on hope, that individual, Qin Mucheng, unexpectedly reached out to him.
This left him feeling both elated and apprehensive, as if it could be another jest from the heavens. What should he do in such a scenario?
Perhaps, he'd rather not proceed. However, if he claimed not to desire this long-awaited connection, could he truly erase it from his heart? Ye Yunjin found himself grappling with uncertainty.
"We've arrived; let's get out of the car," Qin Mucheng's voice abruptly disrupted Ye Yunjin's thoughts.
Swiftly regaining his focus, Ye Yunjin glanced out of the window to find that the car had already stopped at the entrance of the Qin family's estate.
Yunjin hastily unfastened his seatbelt, almost as if he were concealing something, and without uttering a word, he stepped out of the vehicle.
Observing Ye Yunjin's hurried exit, Qin Mucheng didn't immediately leave the car. He reclined in his seat, narrowing his eyes with a somber expression, his moderately thin lips tightening at that moment.
Recalling the peculiar expression on Ye Yunjin's face just now, he couldn't help but feel concerned. Who had been on his mind at that moment, and why had his countenance shifted...
Unable to discern a reason, Qin Mucheng reluctantly let go of his worries, exited the car, and walked forward with determined strides.A brief moment later, he caught up with Ye Yunjin ahead.
He observed Ye Yunjin, whose head was bowed, and though his lips moved as if to say something, he ultimately furrowed his brow and stayed silent.
Both of them entered the Qin residence without exchanging words.
Inside, they encountered the impressive Qin family mansion, distinguished by its lofty foyer, grand entrance, circular arched windows, and carefully crafted corner stone masonry, all exemplifying elegance and sophistication.
The architecture was characterized by a refreshing and unconventional style, featuring white plaster walls complemented by light red roof tiles, a series of continuous arches and corridors, and a spacious living room adorned with tall, expansive windows, leaving one's heart stirred by its beauty.The porch and entrance hall exuded an atmosphere of elegance, refinement, and comfort. They extended both north and south, and the living spaces, including the bedrooms, featured low windows and hexagonal bay windows. The dining area seamlessly connected the indoor and outdoor surroundings.
This architectural design was truly remarkable.
Upon their arrival at the main hall, a finely dressed woman approached Qin Mucheng. Her striking crimson lips curled into a gentle smile as she spoke affectionately, "Mucheng, why are you so late?"
The person addressing Qin Mucheng was none other than his mother, Bai Yiyan.
Despite being in her forties, she appeared as youthful as a woman in her thirties, radiating maturity and elegance due to her meticulous self-care routine.
However, right after Bai Yiyan spoke, without giving Qin Mucheng a chance to reply, her gaze swiftly shifted to Ye Yunjin.
In that moment, a glimmer of surprise flickered in her eyes.
Bai Yiyan had never anticipated that her son would bring Ye Yunjin with him.
