Chapter 17 Crying, Just a Little Sick Cat of a Wife

Xia Yuan silently called out to the system in her mind.

“What will happen now that the original female lead has appeared? Will it affect me?”

The system replied, “The power of the plot will push the male and female leads together, so you must complete your strategy task before they get into an intense relationship. Otherwise, everything will be in vain, and you won’t be able to go home.”

Xia Yuan said, “Oh.”

She felt quite uncomfortable.

Although Qin Mohuai was an extremely controlling lunatic, she hadn’t felt sorry for him while reading, but now that he was a living person, fate and love shouldn’t be manipulated behind the scenes…

The system asked, “Do you intend to sacrifice yourself to fulfill the love between the male and female leads?”

Xia Yuan’s recently budding compassionate heart was crushed to dust by the cold, mechanical voice.

I just want to live, QuQ.

Inside the Maybach.

Seeing Xia Yuan sulking, Qin Mohuai assumed she was jealous.

“Baby, I only love you and will only marry you. Ouyang Jing is a woman favored by my grandfather; if he likes her, then let him marry her. She has nothing to do with me. Don’t throw a tantrum over some outsider; it makes me sad.”

The driver discreetly raised the partition.

Xia Yuan, her fair face directed towards Qin Mohuai, was once again shocked by his thick skin.

He shifted all the blame to others while holding all the advantages in his palm.

No wonder he was successful in business.

Xia Yuan bit her plump, rosy lips and smiled, “I trust you; I won’t throw a tantrum over this.”

Because she had already done that once 🙂

She wasn’t afraid of the lunatic’s unpredictable temper; what scared her was his immense power. Throwing a tantrum at Qin Mohuai was a very dangerous thing. Refer to the original story where the female lead, after angering Qin Mohuai, was confined to her bedroom, and the servants were forbidden from speaking to her. After just a month of isolation, she broke down and ended up kneeling at the feet of the lunatic male lead, begging for forgiveness, her pride crushed beneath his feet.

Qin Mohuai looked at her with a strange expression. “You’re not jealous?”

Xia Yuan replied, “I’m not jealous.”

Qin Mohuai lifted her chin with his finger, a mocking tone in his voice, “You sat at the same table as Ouyang Jing and ate with her, and you’re not jealous? Which good girl’s girlfriend is so generous? I’ve always felt that you don’t love me, and recently, that feeling has grown stronger. Maybe I should find a psychologist to help you.”

His flamboyant blue hair brushed against her neck, his hot, humid breath felt like a snake, sticky and clinging to her clean, fair skin, sending shivers down her spine.

“Don’t like psychologists? But I can’t bear to find a forensic doctor; what if they cut open your heart and I’m not in there? That would mean I’ve lost both you and your heart. You were so good at talking at noon today, making me happy like a dog; why are you not saying anything now? Oh, I see, you don’t love me, so saying it a few more times feels disgusting to you.”

Xia Yuan’s face turned pale; dating a lunatic was indeed life-threatening! Before she could react in any way, her neck suddenly felt a bit wet. Was Qin Mohuai crying?!

—

Outside the car window, the lights flickered dimly, and the sounds of people buzzed brightly.

Xia Yuan, with her slender shoulders bearing the weight of Qin Mohuai who was tightly nestled against her, didn’t dare to move, confused about the current situation.

Shouldn’t she be the one crying? Why was he the one to cry first?

Getting closer, she noticed that his blue hair had faded to a bluish-gray, but the blue Sanskrit tattoo on his ear remained striking, meaning: “Only love Yuan Yuan.”

Xia Yuan, while cursing her lack of principles, gently patted Qin Mohuai’s back.

Qin Mohuai trembled violently from his shoulder to his waist.

His crimson, wet eyes seemed a bit… excited.

Xia Yuan said, “If I didn’t mind your fiancée, then why did I leave home a while ago? Do you think women should throw tantrums when they’re jealous? That’s shallow! If you really love Ouyang Jing, then I will let you go.”

“Because I love you, I want you to be happy. Love is about fulfillment, not possession. And what about you? You still want a forensic doctor to dissect my heart. Qin Mohuai, you don’t love me that much either.”

Qin Mohuai’s eyes were wet and red, the tears shimmering. He shyly leaned in and kissed her lips, presenting a handsome face with an expression of deep emotional vulnerability.

Xia Yuan always thought she wasn’t attracted to looks, but the brutal demon lord acting like a puppy really hit her weak spot.

Qin Mohuai said, “Baby, I’m sorry. I lost control of my emotions just now and didn’t even realize what disgusting things I said.”

Xia Yuan was speechless; if she had his skill at shifting blame, her mental state would surely be much better.

At some point, the driver’s voice came through, “Mr. Qin, Miss, we have arrived home.”

Qin Mohuai held Xia Yuan’s hand as they got out of the car. Aside from his slightly reddened eyes, there was no sign that anything had happened.

His hoarse voice rang out, “Baby, if I marry another woman, then your big diamond, little dress, and my precious part will all belong to someone else.”

“…” She did feel a bit reluctant about the big diamond and little dress, but please don’t mix in personal feelings!

Xia Yuan felt like a minister needing to be highly focused to discern the emperor’s intentions.

“If you dare cheat, I’ll cut off your precious part!”

“Baby, you’re so brutal!” Qin Mohuai looked shocked, then rubbed his cheek against hers and planted a kiss, laughing carefree, showing no signs of being frightened at all.

The moon was bright, and the stars sparse.

After coaxing Xia Yuan to sleep, Qin Mohuai dialed his grandfather’s number.

“Old man Qin: It’s so late, and you’re still not asleep?”

Qin Mohuai replied solemnly, “I can’t sleep.”

Old man Qin said, “You’ve had insomnia for years and need medication to sleep, but I heard you’ve been doing better recently.”

—

Qin Mohuai said, “Heh, then you should understand why I sleep well.”

Old man Qin remained calm, “You like her, your spirit has something to rely on, and life has its pleasures. That’s good. But you two can’t have children. It’s a case of fate not aligning. It’s better to end it sooner rather than later while your feelings are not too deep.”

Qin Mohuai was well aware that his grandfather was testing his limits. If he gave an ambiguous answer, Xia Yuan might end up in a dire situation the next day.

“Grandpa, I want her. Both of us are healthy, and a child will come eventually.”

Old man Qin didn’t want to create a rift with his grandson, so he smiled and changed the subject, inviting him to dinner at the old mansion the next day.

—

Before finishing work, Qin Mohuai received a 14.5-carat pink diamond. He planned to stop by the old mansion to check in before heading back to Shenghai Manor to have a candlelight dinner with his wife.

Upon returning to the old mansion and seeing Ouyang Jing, Qin Mohuai’s handsome face turned cold and distant; he sensed that tonight’s dinner might not go smoothly.

Old man Qin smiled warmly, inviting the two to sit and talk.

“You two must have met before. What’s your impression of each other?”

Qin Mohuai leaned back against the sofa, his long legs crossed, his demeanor aloof and noble, showing no intention of speaking.

Ouyang Jing knew how much old man Qin valued Qin Mohuai; if she said anything negative about him, the Ouyang family would likely face consequences.

After some thought, she replied, “The impression is quite good.”

Old man Qin said amiably, “That’s good to hear. I can’t stand mismatched couples. If you’re both satisfied with each other, then I’m satisfied as well.”

“Mohuai, didn’t you buy a pink diamond? Quickly take it out for Jing to try on.”

Qin Mohuai raised an eyebrow.

Earlier, when he left for work, his beloved wife had tied his hair into a small bun. The blue hair contrasted with his fair skin, and his dark, cold eyes made him look menacing. Was it that he hadn’t shown his darker side for too long, and his grandfather now saw him as a little sick kitten?
