Actually that period will probably be shorter than expected… After Song Song comes back from Li Jiang to Beijing with Su Zhinian, the wedding will most likely be called off.
Qin Yinan had stated his intention quite clearly, but after a moment's silence, Cheng Qingchong still asked hesitantly, "You… are going…to marry me?"
"Yes." Qin Yinan nodded without hesitation. "I will marry you."
Then, Qin Yinan turned around to look to the side; therefore, he didn't realize that when he made the promise, there was a flash of surprised happiness that crossed Cheng Qingchong's eyes. However, the next second, Cheng Qingchong started to lose focus, staring at Qin Yinan's profile.
She could not tell what the man was thinking. The man's usual gentle demeanor was overlaid with a hazy layer of sadness. Cheng Qingchong's heart dulled with pain, and an insurmountable guilt swept over her. He must really love Miss Song… Or else, he wouldn't be calling her name last night. Now, he has no choice but to give her up because he has to take responsibility for me.
Cheng Qingchong bit on her lips, and she could not help voicing the question in her heart. "Why… why would you choose to be responsible? You…"
Actually, Cheng Qingchong wanted to say something else. You can always just walk away and pretend this didn't happen.
However, she was afraid that if she really that, she would plant the idea in Qin Yinan's mind, so she swallowed the rest of her sentence.
Qin Yinan stared at the haze in the sky. His lashes flickered twice. He didn't look at Cheng Qingchong when he gave her his answer. "It was my drunken mistake that has ruined your life, so I have to be responsible for my actions."
Qin Yinan's soft and gentle tone was like a sound slap to Cheng Qingchong's face. Her face burned with shame, and she turned quickly away to look out the window.
She knew that she should be thankful that Qin Yinan was such a responsible man unlike those players out there who would end this little mishap with an offering of gifts or money, but Qin Yinan's sense of responsibility caused Cheng Qingchong's heart to grip with guilt.
She had never done a bad thing in her life, so she really did not expect that the first malicious thing that she did would be to frame and bully a good man.
The more Cheng Qingchong thought about it, the more she felt like crying. To escape this situation, she stood up and said, "I have to leave for the company already."
Before waiting for Qin Yinan to answer, she grabbed the clothes on the sofa and rushed toward the bathroom.
When Cheng Qingchong put on her clothes and exited the bathroom, she did not dare get near to Qin Yinan. She grabbed the bag that she had left on the table, gave him a hasty farewell, and fled the room.
Just as the door closed with a click, Qin Yinan slowly blinked.
All the words he had said just now came from his heart. He really would take this responsibility. He had taken a girl's first time in his drunkenness because he had mistaken her for someone else, and there was simply no way he would run away from this responsibility.
However, he also did not expect that this was how he was going to lose his first time as well.
