Chapter 672 The Truth Behind Their Dating (1)

Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an, who were far away in the villa area, were having a nice time.

Xiao Yunyun, who was living in the apartment close to the city center, had just woken up from her sleep.

Seeing the time displayed on the clock, even she herself was surprised. She cried, “I’ve slept for so long?”

She tidied up the quilt, got up, and searched the whole apartment, but she didn’t see Su Yunjin. Instead, she saw a note on the tea table in the living room.

Su Yunjin’s handwriting could be seen on the note.

“Yunyun, mom has something to do and has to go first. The breakfast is in the refrigerator. Heat it before eating and don’t forget to have lunch. Wait for my call in the evening, and we can have dinner together with your brother.”

Xiao Yunyun opened the refrigerator, where there were two sandwiches and a gla.s.s of milk sealed with plastic.

She took it out and put it in the microwave oven. Then she went for a wash and cleaned up.

After was.h.i.+ng up and changing clothes, Xiao Yunyun sat alone in the empty dining room facing the hot blackboard and milk. Only then did she realize that she had no appet.i.te at all.

She was not hungry. She just felt empty.

It wasn’t that her stomach was empty, but rather, her entire being was empty.

It was as if there was no heart, blood vessels, or soul in her body. It was all empty. She was not like a person, but more like a walking dead.

How was it possible for a person’s soul to be filled with two packs of sandwiches and a gla.s.s of milk?

Xiao Yunyun stuffed the food into her stomach entirely. She was surprised to know that she had a chance to experience this feeling in her lifetime.

Life was really unpredictable.

After she finished eating, Xiao Yunyun went back to her room to review the books, but she didn’t even turn a page until she received a call from Su Yunjin.

“I have an appointment with your brother to have dinner at a restaurant on Chihua Road.” Su Yunjin asked, “Shall I get a taxi to pick you up?”

“That’s not necessary.” Xiao Yunyun subconsciously refused. “I’ll just take a taxi there by myself. See you at the restaurant.”

“Okay.” Su Yunjin didn’t notice Xiao Yunyun’s abnormality at all. Then she hung up the phone.

Xiao Yunyun put down her phone. Almost at the same time, something suddenly made her heart feel stuffed. She was so depressed that she wanted to cry, but she couldn’t find a vent to let out her tears.

It was only then she did realize that she had been unhappy for the entire afternoon.

Xiao Yunyun had been living a smooth life since she came to this world for more than 20 years. Even though her opinions differed from Su Yunjin’s when choosing her major at college, she still got into her favorite major as she wished in the end. Her relations.h.i.+p with Su Yunjin was not that bad.

But this time, there was a knot in front of her that could not be untied.

It was destined for them to be siblings.

She was confident that she could persuade Su Yunjin when choosing her major.

But this time, she knew very well that she had no ability to change the destiny.

What was even more fatal was that she still couldn’t let go of Shen Yuechuan even though she knew it was impossible between them.

She was completely helpless, but she could not tell anyone, let alone ask for help.

One couldn’t get the love he or she wanted was not the most painful experience in a love story.

It was the most painful when the law and customs of the human world didn’t allow you to love that person, even though you loved him.

Xiao Yunyun closed her eyes hard. When she opened them again, there were tears in her reddened eyes, but she tried her best to hold back her tears.

After thinking for a while, she put on light makeup and went out.

Since she failed to make herself to look like she was in a good mood, she wanted to make herself look beautiful at least.

After getting into the taxi, Xiao Yunyun suddenly received a call from Qin Han.

Qin Han was silent on the phone, and she didn’t know what to say for a while.

After a long while, Qin Han said in a low voice, “Yunyun, I’m sorry.”

Xiao Yunyun smiled and said, “Did you forget that we’re not really in love at all? You don’t have to apologize to me.”

“…” Qin Han was silent for a moment and then said with a bitter smile, “How dare I forget?”

Qin Han remembered that half a month ago, Xiao Yunyun suddenly came to him and asked him if he was willing to do her a favor.

He imagined a grand scene of a hero saving a beauty. He said pa.s.sionately, “Of course I’m willing!”

Xiao Yunyun said, “Don’t be so sure first. I… I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend.”

If it weren’t for Xiao Yunyun’s word “pretend”, Qin Han would have thought that he had heard it wrong.

“A boyfriend is a boyfriend, the kind of boyfriend with whom you can watch movies, eat together, and get married!”

“What do you mean by ‘a fake boyfriend’?”

He gave Xiao Yunyun a look which meant he couldn’t understand her words.

Xiao Yunyun was obviously embarra.s.sed. She explained with difficulty, “I have something to tell you, but you must promise me that you will keep it a secret.”

He nodded solemnly. “Definitely!”

Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time. Then she said softly, “Shen Yuechuan is my brother.”

Then, Xiao Yunyun told him that Su Yunjin didn’t return to Australia in time because she wanted to wait for a suitable occasion to announce Shen Yuechuan’s origin.

However, Su Yunjin cared about her not only because she was afraid Xiao Yunyun might not accept the truth. She suspected that Xiao Yunyun liked Shen Yuechuan and was worried that she wouldn’t be able to bear the blow after Shen Yuechuan’s real ident.i.ty was publicized.

Therefore, Su Yunjin had been delaying it.

Qin Han slowly understood something. “So, you want me to cooperate with you to pretend to be in a relations.h.i.+p so that Aunt Yunjin can freely reveal Shen Yuechuan’s background?”

Xiao Yunyun nodded. “That’s the only way I can think of.”

Qin Han looked at Xiao Yunyun and sighed calmly, “You really like Shen Yuechuan a lot.”

Xiao Yunyun was surprised, and there was a little uneasiness in her eyes.

She liked Shen Yuechuan. It turned out to be so obvious that even Qin Han could see it. No wonder Su Yunjin had scruples.

She bit her lips and slowly lowered her head. “It’s true, I like him. It’s not the fondness among men, but the affection between men and women… It’s the first time I’ve fallen in love with someone, but he is my half-brother. Does it sound like a joke?”

At that moment, Qin Han suddenly felt very sad for Xiao Yunyun.

Such a young girl should be doted on by someone, but she carefully hid her feelings for the sake of her elders and pretended to be happy and free.

Since Shen Yuechuan couldn’t take good care of her, he would do the job.

Qin Han asked, “What do I need to do if I agree to be your ‘fake’ boyfriend?”

“There won’t be much for you to do,” Xiao Yunyun said hurriedly, “You just need to have a meal or watch a movie with me occasionally. We just need to do some things that ordinary couples do to look real.”

“You’re too naive.” Qin Han deliberately scared Xiao Yunyun. “The couple in love should want to stick together all the time. Do you think these behaviors will be enough to deceive them?”

“I’ve thought about that!” Xiao Yunyun smiled with a sense of accomplishment. “Just say that we’re busy! You’re busy with work, and I’m busy with the postgraduate entrance exam. We don’t need to stick together all the time!”

Qin Han thought, “In the beginning, I really can’t get Xiao Yunyun too intimate with me. As the saying goes, boil a frog in warm water!”

He nodded in agreement.

On that day, Qin Han took Xiao Yunyun to the party, had dinner with her, and watched a movie. Before he announced it, his “relations.h.i.+p” with Xiao Yunyun soon spread around.

However, the follow-up was not as smooth as he had imagined.

He had thought that he could win Xiao Yunyun’s heart step by step and get her heart away from Shen Yuechuan little by little.

However, Xiao Yunyun was stubborn and didn’t notice his feelings at all. She only treated him as a friend.

The most annoying thing was that Xiao Yunyun would say “thank you” to him every time they finished a date. What’s more, he couldn’t express his dissatisfaction.

After a long time of depression, Qin Han couldn’t suppress his desire to start a fight in the bar.

At that time, he really didn’t care whether Xiao Yunyun was afraid or if someone would hurt her. He was just furious.

And his anger was all the result of uneasiness.

On the surface, Xiao Yunyun was his girlfriend, and a bunch of his friends said that he had found a treasure.

Only he knew that everything between him and Xiao Yunyun was fake. After Shen Yuechuan’s background was exposed, they could break up at any time.

He had a beautiful imagination beside him. He was happy, but at the same time, he realized that beauty was all bubbles, and it would shatter as soon as anyone touched it.

If Shen Yuechuan hadn’t come that day, he might have really got into the fight.

But when Shen Yuechuan came, he was even angrier—when something terrible happened, the first person that came to Xiao Yunyun’s mind was still Shen Yuechuan.

For Young Master Qin, it was already a blow.

What he didn’t expect was that after returning home, he would hear a crueler truth from his father.

Therefore, it was not until today that he dared to contact Xiao Yunyun and apologize to her.

“Qin Han,” Xiao Yunyun said, “Last night, my mother had disclosed Shen Yuechuan’s background publicly.”

Qin Han heard it clearly that Xiao Yunyun’s voice was full of disappointment.

He couldn’t imagine how Xiao Yunyun, who was always happy and energetic, would be like when she was frustrated.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sad?”

Xiao Yunyun’s eyes became hot, and her tears almost came out of her eyes.

Fortunately, she had been studying hard in medical college for so many years. In addition to her professional knowledge, the skill she had learnt best was to control her emotions.

Xiao Yunyun quickly forced back her tears. “I used to think that as long as I tried hard, there was nothing impossible. Now I know that there are some things that you can’t change even if you’re willing to sacrifice your life. I’m sad, but… I’ll accept my fate.”

Qin Han thought for a while and thought of his father’s words, but he didn’t tell the truth in the end. He just comforted Xiao Yunyun, “No matter what, you will always have me by your side.”

Xiao Yunyun smiled and said, “Thank you, Qin Han. If it weren’t for you, this matter wouldn’t have been solved so quickly.”

“I would rather this matter not be solved so quickly.” Qin Han said half-jokingly, “Now that Shen Yuechuan’s matter has been solved, our relations.h.i.+p… it’s time to get it settled.”

“…”

Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and didn’t know what to say.

When they were “in love”, she had discussed with Qin Han that they could claim their breakup after Shen Yuechuan’s background was made public.

However, from Qin Han’s tone, it sounded like she wanted to abandon him as soon as she finished making use of him?

“You don’t have to feel sorry about anything.” Qin Han comforted Xiao Yunyun. “I also hope to regain my freedom as soon as possible. However, it’s not appropriate now. We shall wait until later. Otherwise, it will arouse suspicion.”

If she broke up with Qin Han the minute Shen Yuechuan’s background was revealed, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Su Jian’an and Su Yunjin.

Xiao Yunyun decided to listen to Qin Han’s words. “Then I can only deprive you of freedom for a while.”

Qin Han smiled and said, “That’s exactly what I want.”
