Living With a Temperamental Adonis: 99 Proclamations of Love

Even though the previous night in the car with Qin Yinan had not been her first time, it hurt as deep as her first time.

The pain made her feel very uncomfortable. However, twenty-four hours ago, in spite of the discomfort, there had been joy in her heart. But now,, as she walked down the street, the pain radiating from the lower part of her body turned into an indescribable bitterness in her heart.

It was only a short two hundred meters between the door of the registry office and the taxi stand, but it had exhausted all the energy within Cheng Qingchong. She held the roadside railing for support and was about to lean on it to rest when there was a screeching sound of brake beside her ears.

Then, the car that halted beside her rolled down its window, and a bag landed at her feet. Cheng Qingchong was first startled before she recognized the bag as hers, so this could only mean...

Cheng Qingchong’s body froze, and she slowly turned around. As she expected, Qin Yinan could be seen through the open window. His expression was dark, and he was staring ahead. He refused to even acknowledge her with a glance. After tossing her the bag, he turned the steering wheel, preparing to leave.

"Qin Yinan..." Cheng Qingchong called out of habit.

She merely called his name but was forced to close her mouth when she saw the gaze filled with condescension and annoyance directed her way. She staggered a step back with her head lowered. She stared at the ring that had been on her ring finger for a few hours. With a grit of her teeth, she pulled it off forcefully and passed it to Qin Yinan through the window.

The diamond shimmered brilliantly under the sun. Qin Yinan glanced at the ring before turning to look coldly at her.

Cheng Qingchong, who felt his gaze, lowered her head again. He had bought this ring to set up the trap for her; he didn’t really mean it as a present to her. Since that was the case, she should have returned it to him.

Cheng Qingchong waited for a long time, but Qin Yinan didn’t come forward to take the ring. She didn’t think she had the courage to face yet another derisive glance from the man, so she pressed on the ring twice before pushing her hand through his car window. She placed the ring lightly on the dashboard before pulling her hand back quickly.

Qin Yinan, who had been silent, stared at the ring and started to scoff for some reason.

The scoff was light, but it made Cheng Qingchong’s heart quiver with fear. She continued to retreat another two steps. She bent over to pick up her bag, and before she could get up, she saw something flash from the corner of her eye. She turned unconsciously towards it and saw the ring arc through the air before falling into the river that surrounded the city.

"That ring is like the trash that I just disposed of; I don’t want it back anymore."

As what Qin Yinan had just done registered in Cheng Qingchong’s mind, this comment floated out from inside his car. She gripped her bag unconsciously... Trash that he just disposed of, is he talking about me?

Cheng Qingchong’s already pale face got even whiter, and her flustered emotions manifested in the way she kept scratching at the bag with her fingers.

Qin Yinan looked at the unresponsive and silent Cheng Qingchong for some time before pulling his gaze away. Then he said coldly, "Before I arrive home from work, I want you to have moved all of your stuff out."

Then, with a step on the oil pedal, he dashed off.
