Chapter 498 - I Understand Now (1/2)
Leng Jin Yu nervously rubbed his fingers against his palms. Ah, he could only hope that Jinde would listen to what he had to say. This whole situation … He shook his head and took a deep breath. There was no use in speculating. He had to go in there and try. Well, he had to be careful though or Jinde might get even angrier.
Leng Jin Yu knocked on the door. ”Jinde? Can we talk?”
”Eh! Did you forget about me?” Qiu Ling leaned forward and frowned. This guy was the reason why his beloved had broken up with him. He definitely wouldn't allow him to have a heartfelt reunion with the old geezer as long as he was still without his beloved.
Leng Jin Yu ignored him. ”It really isn't as it seemed. I brought Longjun over to explain to the two of you. Please let me in.”
Inside the house, Jinde raised his chin and snorted. ”What are you begging for? It's your house anyway. I'm just a guest. Naturally, I've left the door open.” But even a guest can invite someone. Just wait until I call Xin Lan over! We'll see if you still refuse to marry me with a rival in front of your nose!
Leng Jin Yu gave a relieved sigh and opened the door, motioning for Qiu Ling to step in.
Qiu Ling threw him a warning look before marching in. He found his way into the study and looked around. Hmph. How come the old geezer hadn't even taken out any wine? He felt like drinking a cup or two …
Jinde frowned when he saw Qiu Ling's searching gaze. ”There's none. As if I would get drunk over something like this.” And as if I would let your father get close to that wine after what happened the last time.
Qiu Ling pursed his lips and sat down on the other chair in the study. Ah, first his beloved got stolen and now he wouldn't even get the wine. Life sure was hard.
Leng Jin Yu sighed when Jinde and Qiu Ling finally sat at the table. He went over and wanted to kneel down next to Jinde but the look he got in return froze him on the spot. ”That …”
”No need to get so close.”
Leng Jin Yu wanted to refute but finally backed a step up before kneeling down. ”All of this is a misunderstanding.”
Jinde picked up the teapot next to him. ”You know what happens when you repeat something very often?” He poured himself a cup of tea and lifted it to his lips. ”It starts to ring hollow. It's like someone saying he loves you over and over again and then he goes to sleep with somebody else.”
Qiu Ling propped his elbows up on the table and put his chin on his hands. ”You should mention in his defense that he was dead drunk that night.”
Leng Jin Yu frowned. Those two were talking as if he wasn't there at all. Well, he couldn't really blame them. It would probably be best if he ignored those remarks and just got to the point.
