Chapter – 68
Bai Wenxi hadnât expected her own Teacher Lin to be so cold toward Qin Shiyue. Seeing how deeply shaken Qin Shiyue lookedâso hurt she seemed on the verge of tearsâBai Wenxi felt somewhat guilty. She would never dare to take matters into her own hands again. If she hadnât tipped Qin Shiyue off, Qin wouldnât have shown up here, and she wouldnât have run straight into her bossâs bad mood.
âJust now, Teacher Qin looked like she was about to cryâŚâ Feeling sorry for Qin Shiyue, Bai Wenxi still risked another cold glance from Lin Qingyi and spoke in a small voice.
Hearing this, a faint crack appeared in Lin Qingyiâs frozen heart. She wondered: what kind of attitude did she have toward that foolish woman? Would that woman even care? And even if she did, compared to how much she cared about Kong Huizhi, it probably wouldnât amount to even a drop in the ocean.
Lin Qingyi couldnât help recalling the time when Qin Shiyue failed to keep Kong Huizhi from leaving, and had crouched on the ground crying. A surge of anger rose uncontrollably in her chest. She hated how overly concerned she was about Qin Shiyue. She should have been like she was a year agoâwhen she had felt a twinge of sympathy and wanted to reach out and pull her up from the ground, but held herself back for fear of meddling. Now she was meddling too much, wanting to lend a hand, only to end up with a heart full of frustration.
âActually, Teacher Qin and Miss Kong just divorced not long ago. Itâs normal that she hasnât moved on so quickly. But since theyâre already divorced, it means thereâs not much possibility left. They say the best way to heal from heartbreak is to start a new relationship. You were so cold to her just nowâIâm afraid she wonât dare to come find you againâŚâ Seeing that Lin Qingyi didnât glare at her, Bai Wenxi continued speaking up for Qin Shiyue.
âBai Wenxi, you talk too much.â The elevator doors opened. After tossing out those words in a slightly cold tone, Lin Qingyi stepped out.
Just then, Bai Wenxi received a message from Fang Xinhua.
âWhatâs going on with your Teacher Lin?â There was a hint of questioning in Fang Xinhuaâs tone. Lin Qingyi changed her attitude faster than flipping a page. If she didnât like Erbao, then she shouldnât have flirted with her in the first place. Erbao was almost in tears from being wronged.
âWhy did your Erbao show up with her ex-wife? At that time in the afternoon, shouldnât she have been filming?â Bai Wenxi could almost see Sister Fangâs displeasure at her child being bullied. Sigh. If she had known, she wouldnât have stirred the pot. Now she bore some responsibility. She couldnât say it outright, so she could only hint that her Teacher Lin was just jealous.
âDirector Song wasnât feeling well today, so they wrapped up early. Erbao happily bought lemon tea to visit the set, and at the entrance of the studio she happened to run into Kong Huizhi, so they went in together.â Once Fang Xinhua caught Bai Wenxiâs hint, she understood. So Lin Qingyi was jealous? Thinking about it, Erbao appearing with Kong Huizhi did seem coincidental. If Lin Qingyi really liked Erbao, jealousy was possible. But Lin Qingyi turning hostile so suddenlyâher temper was too much. Was a woman with such a bad temper really suitable for her Erbao?
When Bai Wenxi heard this, she thought: so her boss had been jealous all afternoonâfor nothing?
Back in her room, Lin Qingyi looked at the spacious presidential suite and suddenly found it uncomfortably empty. She thought about what Bai Wenxi had just said. She knew that feelings werenât something you could simply withdraw at willâit took time. But at the very least, that foolish vase should show some gesture of wanting to withdraw them. The moment that person appeared, sheâd lost all sense, even stopped filming, and followed behind her like a tail. The more Lin Qingyi thought about it, the more irritated she felt. She didnât want to bother with her anymore⌠Waitâif sheâd just driven that woman away, would she turn around and go find Kong Huizhi?
The possibility made Lin Qingyi feel awful, as if a row of barbs had stabbed into her heart. It hurt unbearably. At that moment, she had to admit that she cared about that foolish âvase.â
So she followed her heart, picked up her phone, and sent Qin Shiyue a message.
âQin Shiyue, come over here immediately.â
Qin Shiyue, who had been inexplicably brushed off by Lin Qingyi, felt more and more upset the more she thought about it. The hurt was almost on par with how sheâd felt when she was divorced.
When she was upset over Kong Huizhi, at least Kong Huizhi had once been her wife. But Lin Qingyi wasnât anything to herâso why was she this upset? She must be upset because of how inexplicably Lin Qingyi had treated her.
If Lin Qingyi wanted to be cold, then so be it. Who cared about her? Just as Qin Shiyue decided to completely blacklist Lin Qingyi in her heart, she received Lin Qingyiâs message.
âWhat kind of person is she!â Seeing the message, Qin Shiyueâs sadness instantly turned into anger. She felt Lin Qingyi was simply crazy.
Authorâs Note:
Actually, Lin Qingyiâs attitude toward Qin Shiyue was just polite and distant, more or less the same as how she treated other people. Itâs just that Qin Shiyue, who had grown used to being treated specially by Lin Qingyi, couldnât handle the sudden contrast and was almost brought to tears.
Bai Wenxi: I underestimated Teacher Linâs possessivenessâalmost caused a disaster.
Lin Qingyi: I wonât pretend anymore. I admit I care.
Qin Shiyue: Hah!

Chapter 41
Just a moment ago sheâd been so cold, sending her away. Now she was telling her to come over, acting as if she could summon and dismiss her at will. Who did she think she was? Qin Shiyue grew angrier the more she looked at the message. She had a temper tooâshe wasnât someone to be summoned and dismissed at will.
Qin Shiyue pretended she hadnât seen the message, deliberately ignoring it, and continued walking back to her hotel.
