Chapter 133: Cheng Han: Leave Chu Li

~8 min read 1,440 words

Cheng Wan always felt that Chu Li liked Qin Yunshu, which was why he was exceptionally tolerant toward her.

But he should not impose these things on others.

Like her.

Like Lin Qingya.

"Is it Cheng Han who threatened you, saying that if you pursue this matter, he won't marry Qin Yunshu?"

Although Cheng Wan was guessing, she had an intuition that her guess was not far from the truth.

Chu Li lowered his voice, "I will give you an explanation regarding Lin Qingya's matter."

But Cheng Wan did not believe him.

She headed straight toward the hospital room.

She wanted to ask Cheng Han in person.

Chu Li blocked her again, grabbing her wrist, and lowered his head to look at her.

"Cheng Wan, I said, I will give you an explanation regarding Lin Qingya's matter."

"I said, I don't believe you."

She had asked Wen Lvzhong to help search for so long, yet they hadn't discovered any trace of Lin Qingya.

The longer time passed, the more worried she became.

Now, she only wanted to ask Cheng Han.

"Cheng Han, come out." Cheng Wan simply raised her voice to call out.

"Cheng Wan." Chu Li's voice was laced with coldness, "That's enough."

Cheng Wan shook off his hand, and with Wen Lvzhong helping to block him, she successfully entered the hospital room.

Qin Yunshu screamed, "I don't want to see her."

"Cheng Wan, do you have to provoke Yun Shu?" Lady Qin was furious, her delicate face somewhat twisted.

She stood in front of Qin Yunshu, protecting her daughter.

Qin Yunshu hugged her knees, sobbing, "Cheng Wan, how much more do you want to harm me before you'll be satisfied?"

It was as if she were being bullied and Cheng Wan was the culprit.

Cheng Wan ignored her feigned fragility and slander, looking only at the tall man by the bedside.

"Cheng Han, I have something to ask you."

Cheng Han did not know what he was thinking, but he lifted his foot to walk over.

But Qin Yunshu grabbed his clothes, her upturned face pale, "Cheng Han, don't go."

She still remembered that day at the bridal shop, the way Cheng Han had stared unblinkingly at Cheng Wan wearing a wedding dress.

She felt a tremendous sense of unease in her heart.

Cheng Han hesitated for a moment and sighed slightly, "Cheng Wan, if you have something to say, just say it here."

Qin Yunshu shed tears, "Cheng Wan, he is my fiancé; what is there that cannot be said in front of me, his fiancée?"

Lady Qin said with disgust and disdain: "Exactly, just say it here; a man and a woman alone, who knows what you might say to Cheng Han."

Cheng Wan felt that she had already been kind enough.

She hadn't brought up the matter of Cheng Han taking Lin Qingya away the moment she walked in.

Yet they were aggressive.

"Are you sure you want me to say it here?"

Qin Yunshu did not let go of Cheng Han's clothes, biting her lip and insisting.

"Just say it here."

Cheng Wan satisfied her wish.

She asked Cheng Han: "Where did you hide Lin Qingya?"

As the words fell, the hospital room fell into silence.

Qin Yunshu's hand clutching Cheng Han's clothes slowly slid off, and she sat up straight in disbelief.

Cheng Han's expression changed slightly.

Lady Qin frowned: "Lin Qingya?"

Cheng Wan deliberately lowered her voice and repeated it again.

"That's right, Lin Qingya, Cheng Han, where did you hide her?"

Qin Yunshu's eyes were blurred with tears, her pale face full of despair, "Cheng Han, is Lin Qingya with you?"

She looked at the man she loved, as if she had suffered a deeply painful betrayal.

Lady Qin strode over and slapped Cheng Wan hard across the face.

But halfway there, it was intercepted by someone.

Cheng Han sneered nonchalantly, "Lady Qin, with you slapping people at every turn, someone who didn't know better might think you were a shrew on the street."

He was siding with Cheng Wan.

Qin Yunshu could no longer hold it together; she jumped off the hospital bed, her bare feet stepping on the cold floor.

"Cheng Han, you and Lin Qingya... you two..."

Cheng Han had already grabbed Cheng Wan's wrist and pulled her away.

In the hospital room, there was the sound of Qin Yunshu's heart-wrenching crying.

The moment the door opened, Chu Li brushed past them and entered the hospital room.

He didn't even glance at Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan lowered her eyes; his eyes held only Qin Yunshu.

Sure enough, the next second, Qin Yunshu's aggrieved, broken voice rang out again, "Brother."

In a daze, Cheng Wan was pulled to the other side by Cheng Han.

Cheng Han pursed his lips, his expression revealing no emotion.

Cheng Wan spread her hands innocently, "I asked, it was you who insisted I speak."

It had nothing to do with her.

"Leave Chu Li," Cheng Han said.

Cheng Wan: "..."

She was stunned.

That wasn't what he should be asking about.

"That is between me and him; what I am asking about now is Lin Qingya, where did you take her?"

Cheng Wan only cared about this question now.

Cheng Han's palm moved, then suddenly clenched tight.

He returned to his devil-may-care appearance, leaning half his body against the wall, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Cheng Wan.

"That is between me and her."

This sentence was a disguised admission that Lin Qingya really had been hidden away by him.

"Cheng Han." Cheng Wan clenched her palms, looking at him expressionlessly, "I don't know what exactly happened between you and her, but I think she is innocent."

"Or rather, there are some things she didn't want to happen either; you shouldn't be too harsh on her."

She had searched for the Cheng Family's affairs online; Cheng Han's parents died in a car accident three years ago, and it was said that because they had argued with their adopted daughter, the adopted daughter ran away from home, and Cheng Han's parents went to chase after her, which led to the car accident.

Cheng Wan could understand Cheng Han's hatred for Lin Qingya, but three years had passed, and Lin Qingya hadn't been living well either.

When Cheng Wan first found her, she was walking in the middle of the road, prepared to commit suicide, and later she had also attempted to end her life several times due to depression.

She had seen Lin Qingya in her most wretched state, so she naturally knew how much pain was in Lin Qingya's heart.

Coming to find Cheng Han this time, she only hoped he could show mercy to Lin Qingya.

Cheng Han's devil-may-care smile vanished.

He stood up slightly straighter and said with a cold sneer, "And how do you know she is innocent?"

"Because when she wanted to commit suicide back then, it was I who saved her."

Cheng Wan thought, no one would want to end their own life for no reason, unless they had encountered something that left them in utter despair.

Cheng Han's tone was ambiguous: "Perhaps she was just putting on an act for you to see."

"She and I didn't even know each other back then, why would she put on an act for me?" Cheng Wan didn't understand Cheng Han's train of thought.

Cheng Han paused, having nothing to say.

He looked at that face and, in the end, couldn't help himself, raising a hand to ruffle Cheng Wan's hair.

"I have my own sense of proportion."

The sudden intimate gesture made Cheng Wan freeze; she immediately recalled the process of how she and Cheng Han had met.

They could only be considered acquaintances; their relationship wasn't good enough for head-patting.

She stepped back in a fluster, widening the distance between the two of them.

But it was too late.

Not far away, Qin Yunshu clutched her chest, her fingers trembling as she pointed at them.

"You... you two..."

Chu Li was supporting her, his gaze toward this side extremely cold.

Cheng Wan was speechless.

But she had nothing to explain, only asking Cheng Han: "Let Lin Qingya come back, I'll have her explain it to you."

The most important thing now was to confirm Lin Qingya's safety.

Cheng Han refused, "No."

Cheng Wan took a step back, "Then let me contact her, I need to confirm she is safe."

"Cheng Wan, stop meddling." Cheng Han threw out a cold sentence and walked toward Qin Yunshu.

He supported Qin Yunshu and forcibly brought her back to the hospital room.
