The Forbidden City’s Sweetest Secret Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Do You Want to Gamble? You Will Win.

Qin Weizhao was so upset by this matter that she didn’t want to speak. After chatting with a few words, she let the two of them cheer her up and hung up the phone.

Jiang Wansheng seemed pensive. The day before yesterday, when she was chatting with Ming Yin, she said she wanted to break up with Pei Que and find a suitable partner for marriage.

But today, how come the two of them are sticking together again?

She was a little worried and opened the private chat interface with Ming Yin.

Jiang Wansheng: [Why are you with Pei Que again? Did he force you?]

Ming Yin: [He’s just crazy!]

Jiang Wansheng: [?]

Ming Yin: [Since he took me away the night of the blind date, the next day he came to visit my dad and grandpa with gifts.]

Ming Yin: [He said a bunch of sweet nonsense, said we’ve been dating for over a year, but I got angry so I wanted to get married out of spite. He spoke so sincerely, asking my dad and grandpa to help persuade me and forgive him.]

Jiang Wansheng was stunned holding her phone.

This approach was simply cutting off the escape route.

Even though Pei Que had a reputation, Mr. Ming and Miss Ming might not believe this kind of talk, but being able to make Pei Que take the initiative to visit and treat them with respect was already a sign of respect for the Ming family. The Ming family would definitely not find any more marriage partners for Ming Yin.

However, Pei Que directly classified their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend in front of the elders of the Ming family, which was completely different from Pei Que’s usual behavior in the romantic scene.

Dating and pure transactions are different.

What is Pei Que thinking?

Jiang Wansheng’s face was somewhat serious as she typed back: [What do you think?]

Ming Yin pondered for a moment.

[Ming Yin: [Pei Que’s thoughts are unfathomable. Regardless of whether he is advancing by retreating or something else, he has given me a shield, and I am happy and at ease.]

[So what about you two in the future?]

[Can I last long with Pei Que? You are overestimating Master Pei.]

Ming Yin seemed very certain about Pei Que’s attitude.

Jiang Wansheng didn’t know what to say either. After all, it was Ming Yin’s own life, and she couldn’t interfere too much.

She sighed deeply.

Looking at the time, it was already ten o’clock. She thought she would watch a documentary for a while before going to bed.

Unexpectedly, the sound of fingerprint recognition suddenly came from the door.

She sat up suddenly, knowing without thinking that it could only be Qin Mo coming at this time.

Her heart inexplicably quickened, she put on her slippers and walked to the entrance.

“Click—” The doorknob was pressed down, and the door opened from the outside.

The evening breeze carried the familiar scent of cold wood to her nose, a kind of indescribable joy enveloped her heart.

The man draped his coat over one arm, tugged at his tie with the other hand as he entered, his expression cold and indifferent, his posture relaxed.

He lazily raised his eyelids, the soft and gentle girl in her pajamas standing in front of him, her watery eyes staring straight at him, her pupils dark and bright.

He curled his lips.

Not seeing her for two days, at this moment, seeing her standing in front of him as soon as he entered the house, there was an indescribable tenderness in his heart.

He casually looked her over, but his gaze suddenly froze when it reached a certain point.

Then the emotion in his eyes quickly intensified.

He said somewhat helplessly, “Jiang Sweetie.”

Jiang Wansheng was unaware, “Hmm?”

“Do you know that Little Uncle likes you.”

…! Jiang Wansheng was thrown off guard by his blunt words.

Qin Mo saw her clueless look, smiled casually, stepped forward, threw off the coat on his arm, and draped it in front of her, “So, standing in front of me like this, I find it hard to control myself.”

!

Jiang Wansheng quickly tightened the coat in front of her, stammering, “I, I didn’t mean to.”

Qin Mo took a few steps closer, his eyes aggressive, a smile playing on his lips.

Jiang Wansheng cautiously took a few steps back, accusing, “Who knew you would come at this late hour.”

Qin Mo clicked his tongue, “It’s been almost two days since we last met. I came to check if the ungrateful little girl has forgotten about me.”

She involuntarily tightened the coat in her hand and softly replied, “I haven’t forgotten.”

Qin Mo looked at her lowered head and reached out to rub it.

After a moment, he suddenly bent down and whispered softly to her.

“I miss you too.”

In the midst of the warm breath, the sound of her heartbeat was deafening.

He deliberately misinterpreted “haven’t forgotten” as missing him, then responded to her on his own.

His voice, intentionally lowered to be magnetic, sent subtle electric currents from her ears to her heart, resonating with each word.

After teasing her, he led Jiang Wansheng to the living room and explained why he had come so late.

“I didn’t intend to disturb you, but I just finished some socializing nearby and thought of coming to see you when I saw your lights on.”

Jiang Wansheng looked up at Qin Mo. Even though she hadn’t seen him for two days, he still had a sharp and dignified look, but she felt that he seemed more tired than usual during this time.

Because of him, she subconsciously paid attention to the commercial news in the capital during this period, understanding the significant position of the EIP Industrial Park in the capital’s business circle. As one of the leading figures in the Qin family, he was responsible for overall planning and decision-making.

“Little Uncle, you need to take care of yourself,” she sincerely said.

Qin Mo looked at her quietly, lips slightly parted, “Okay.”

“In a few days, Little Uncle will be going on a business trip abroad, probably for about a month,” he spoke slowly, “By the time I come back, you might have started school.”

This news was too sudden, and Jiang Wansheng took a moment to digest it, “Do you have to go for so long?”

Perhaps even she didn’t realize how obvious her reluctance was in that sentence.

“Yes.”

She lowered her gaze, the curled lashes concealing her emotions.

“Jiang Sweetie,” Qin Mo’s tone was serious, “When I return from the business trip, we need to have a resolution about us.”

So much time had passed, and Qin Mo had not mentioned this matter again until today when he suddenly laid it out in front of her so directly.

However, this time, she didn’t instinctively refuse but became hesitant.

Observing her expression, Qin Mo said, “Do you remember what I said at ‘Oxygen Plus’?”

“The final outcome won’t change, but I will give you time,” his voice was steady, his tone authoritative and unyielding.

“Jiang Sweetie, you don’t reject me, and you even have feelings for me,” his words were calm and confident.

Jiang Wansheng was shaken by his straightforward declaration of her feelings that she hadn’t expressed.

After the shock subsided, she found the courage from somewhere and suddenly met Qin Mo’s aggressive gaze, admitting, “I do have feelings for you.”

“Little Uncle, you have always been honest with me. This time, I want to be clear about my thoughts with you.”

Although she didn’t have a commanding presence while holding onto the suit coat, she endured the embarrassment in her heart and confessed to him, “I am not a very secure person. I only have full confidence in things that I control myself, like studying, like making money.”

“But emotions require the cooperation of another person.”

“The wealth and status disparity between us is too great. Your love for me is, too, too…”

She became flustered.

Qin Mo leaned in to hold her hand, his expression solemn, his tone gentle, “I’m listening, don’t rush.”

“It scares me too much,” her voice trembled.

Qin Mo looked at her, feeling a heavy sense of suffocation in his heart.

“So every time I think of avoiding, of rejecting. But emotions really can’t be controlled by me, and I can’t help but be moved…”

She struggled to speak, even dared not look into Qin Mo’s eyes.

After a while, he heard Qin Mo let out a long sigh.

“Wansheng, I have liked you for a very long time, with no intention of giving up.”

“Do you want to gamble?”

“You will win.”

Qin Mo’s words echoed in the silent room, each word resounding like thunder on flat ground, causing her heart to surge with overwhelming waves.
