My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early-Chapter 562 - 561: Yin Qin’s Pursuit of his Wife at the Crematorium (First Change)
Chapter 562: Chapter 561: Yin Qin’s Pursuit of his Wife at the Crematorium (First Change)
“It’s real, Luo Xiaolang, it’s real, even more real than gold.” Yin Qin really wanted to let Luo Xiaolang understand his feelings.
He admitted that he could no longer persist.
He didn’t want to interfere with Luo Xiaolang and Joe’s relationship anymore. He also wanted to gracefully bow out, to complete Luo Xiaolang and let her live a happy life. But he tried, and really could not do it. He became more and more radical, more and more repressed, and more and more on the verge of collapse.
Until… now, he had said everything out loud.
He gazed deeply at Luo Xiaolang, her face was so calm as if devoid of any emotion.
She said, “I won’t believe, and don’t want to believe.”
“What do I need to do to prove to you, Luo Xiaolang…”
“I won’t believe a single word you say.” Luo Xiaolang’s tone was really cold.
“Luo Xiaolang…”
“But that’s not the point, the point is, whether you love me or not doesn’t matter to me.” Luo Xiaolang cut him off with utmost clarity, “to be precise, to me, you are just a stranger. Your feelings are not within my consideration, Yin Qin, my only hope is that you stay away from me.”
“So…” Yin Qin gave a self-deprecating smile, “You actually don’t doubt my feelings, you just don’t care about them.”
“Both. I don’t believe and I don’t care. In short, I don’t want you hanging around me.”
Luo Xiaolang really was a person who doesn’t beat around the bush. Such candid words really hurt Yin Qin, to the point where everything in front of him grew dark and he felt he might faint at any moment.
Yin Qin just looked at her.
His eyes were bloodshot, unable to utter a word.
Yet Luo Xiaolang maintained her composure, and she continued to speak indifferently, “Lastly, I’ll tell you this. I’m dating Joe. I don’t want a third wheel between us, please have some self-respect!”
Having said that, Luo Xiaolang really left.
Yin Qin watched helplessly as Luo Xiaolang walked away, as her figure, got more and more distant from him.
What did she mean by “Joe and I are dating”?
What did she mean by “I don’t want a third wheel between us”?
What did she mean by “please have some self-respect”?
Yin Qin laughed again.
Rather than living such a painful life, rather than wishing for death than life, he might as well keep courting death. There’s nothing worse than what he’s experiencing now!
So!
Even if Luo Xiaolang and Joe are just dating now, even if they get married, as long as Luo Xiaolang isn’t dead, he will not let go.
…
Luo Xiaolang hailed a taxi.
She sat in the car, seeming calm.
What Yin Qin said just now still lingered in her mind.
She had never doubted Yin Qin’s feelings for Ji Baixing before, but now she started doubting. Did Yin Qin really understand what feelings were? Was it just his need to possess others? Was his indomitable pursuit of Ji Baixing driven by never having had him, and once he did, would he grow bored? And now, she had a new relationship and he couldn’t accept it. He simply can’t accept it, he just wants her back out of childishness, it’s not about love or affection.
Luo Xiaolang heaved a little sigh.
She didn’t want to overthink it.
In any case, she was forthright in speaking her mind. Regardless of whether his actions stemmed from affection, possessive self-interest or any other reason, everything about Yin Qin was off her consideration list. Therefore, she wouldn’t spend any more energy on Yin Qin.
During the days that Qin Keqin was in the hospital, Luo Xiaolang also didn’t go to the hospital.
She called Qin Keqin and told her she needed to train for a few days and would visit her later.
Qin Keqin naturally supported all her decisions, and even enthusiastically told her that she was doing very well – she had people taking care of her, people looking after her kids, and her breast milk supply was good, asking Luo Xiaolang not to worry about her.
Seeing that Qin Keqin was doing really well, Luo Xiaolang gradually stopped worrying about her. Instead, she trained with Joe while quietly waiting for a summons from Wei Ziming.
She just finished a day’s training.
Luo Xiaolang didn’t train at night.
To be precise, even her daytime training is much less intense compared to her teammates.
The current Luo Xiaolang, beside competing, spent most of her time on standby to protect Song Zhizhi.
So she began to work on her fitness.
Ever since she got pregnant with little tiger, she hardly engaged in physical activity, her once tightly packed muscles had relaxed considerably. It was not like she had completely lost her muscles, they were not replaced by flab, yet she looked less sturdy.
Every day she used exercise equipment at home to build her fitness.
She had just finished one round of anaerobic exercise when the doorbell rang.
Luo Xiaolang thought it was Joe, so she didn’t check who it was and opened the door.
The moment she opened the door, her expression changed.
She saw Yin Qin standing there with several shopping bags in his hands.
She hadn’t seen him in three days.
Since she stopped going to the hospital, she had not seen Yin Qin, she thought she had made herself clear and Yin Qin had understood. She didn’t expect to see him today.
At this moment, she was really somewhat impatient.
Before she could speak.
Yin Qin smiled broadly, “My mom was discharged from the hospital today.”
And then…
“My dad and a maid are at home, so I’m not needed.”
Luo Xiaolang frowned.
So you’re not needed, so what are you doing here?
“You are exercising?” Yin Qin saw Luo Xiaolang in her small tank top and shorts, drenched in sweat.
He was somewhat thirsty.
Luo Xiaolang probably didn’t realize that in her current state she was quite tempting.
In the past, when Luo Xiaolang dressed like this, she simply looked like a sturdy boy. But now, she suddenly looked curvaceous.
He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
Luo Xiaolang didn’t notice the change in Yin Qin’s gaze, she asked, “Did you go to the wrong place?”
“No.” Yin Qin regained his composure and quickly said, “I came here to cook for you.”
“…” Luo Xiaolang frowned.
“I bought a lot of delicious food.” Yin Qin smiled.
His smile looked silly.
Luo Xiaolang said, “I really don’t have time to entertain you…”
Yin Qin ignored her.
In Luo Xiaolang’s inattentiveness, he walked into her house.
Luo Xiaolang frowned.
Yin Qin seemed quite at home, even asked, “Where’s Joe?”
“What are you trying to do?”
“If he’s not here, then I’ll just cook for two.” Yin Qin put the shopping bags in Luo Xiaolang’s open kitchen.
Luo Xiaolang’s face turned really sour.
“If he’s here, I’d still only cook for two.” Yin Qin continued to talk to himself.
At this point, Luo Xiaolang really wanted to throw Yin Qin out.
But she didn’t want to get into anything with Yin Qin.
She didn’t want to waste time on him either.
She still had several sets of training left to complete.
She turned around and went straight to her workout area to continue her anaerobic exercises.
Yin Qin had been prepared the whole time to be kicked out by Xiaolang, watching his every move, and releasing a huge sigh of relief when he saw Xiaolang go into the training area.
Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to think that Xiaolang was accepting him.
Xiaolang was just annoyed by him, so much so that she didn’t want to deal with him.
But that was okay.
He could see that quite clearly now.
Since Xiaolang didn’t like him anyway, to be precise, she already despised him to the core, no matter what he did, she remained the same. So, he might as well do something that he enjoys.
He took a deep breath.
He opened the “Fragrance of Cooking” app that he had previously downloaded on his phone.
He must put his best foot forward tonight.
He had heard that, to capture a person’s heart, one must first win their stomach.
Yes.
With these thoughts in mind, he began to take cooking dinner very seriously.
First, he would make a dish of steamed fish.
First, he washed the fish clean, marinated it, and then put it in the steamer.
Hmm?
How does this steamer work?
After fiddling with it for a long time and searching online for instructions, he eventually managed to get it going.
Fifteen minutes later.
The fish was finally cooked through.
He took the fish out.
“Ah!” Yin Qin suddenly exclaimed.
Xiaolang glanced over in his direction.
Yin Qin held his hand to his ear.
Damn it, it was so hot.
He burned his hand, but this time he was a bit smarter and found thick gloves before taking it out.
After taking it out, he started making the sauce according to the app.
He strictly followed the app’s instructions, simmering the sauce in the pot.
After simmering for 5 minutes, he poured the sauce over the steamed fish.
Then he performed the final step, pouring oil over it.
He cleaned the bottom of the pot and poured oil into it.
He heated it for a long time.
Feeling like it was about done, Yin Qin picked up the pot and poured the oil out.
The moment the oil came into contact with the water on the fish, it fiercely boiled over, splattering droplets of oil everywhere and creating a loud sizzling sound. This frightened Yin Qin so much that he dropped the pot, causing the burning bottom of the pot and the scalding oil to fall directly onto his foot.
Oh my!
Yin Qin suddenly jumped in surprise.
Damn it, it hurts.
A violent sound echoed throughout the kitchen.
Xiaolang watched as Yin Qin hopped and jumped around in the kitchen. She really wanted to kill him.
But she held herself back.
She forced herself to continue as if nothing was happening.
Yin Qin endured the pain in his foot, though large blisters had formed where he had been scalded. His entire foot was red, but he didn’t dare cry out for fear of getting kicked out by Xiaolang. He had managed to sneak in today, when Xiaolang wasn’t looking, and probably wouldn’t have the same luck next time.
He endured the pain, bent over and picked up the pot.
By this point, the fish had fallen on the floor and the bowl holding it was shattered.
He had no choice but to throw the fish and the broken pieces into the trash and quickly clean up the kitchen.
The fish was a failure.
No problem, he could make the next dish.
He had purchased a lot of ingredients anyway.
With these thoughts, he took out a piece of beef.
Firstly, he had to cut the meat.
Yin Qin mimicked the video and picked up the kitchen knife.
He thought the act of cutting meat would be simple, but it proved to be quite a challenge. Not to mention the uneven sizes of the pieces, he also cut himself several times with the knife, each time causing him so much pain that he wanted to cry.
After much difficulty, he finally managed to slice a plate of grotesque-looking beef.
Yin Qin then started cooking the beef according to the instructions on the app.
First, he added oil. This time he was smarter, knowing that the oil could splash, so he kept his distance.
After heating the oil for a while, Yin Qin put the beef in.
The moment it went in, a loud sizzling sound filled the kitchen.
Frightened, Yin Qin quickly backed away several steps.
Xiaolang watched as Yin Qin fumbled about.
Although she couldn’t cook either, she felt that Yin Qin, in this condition, would never be able to make anything good.
Yin Qin didn’t hold high expectations for himself either, but he still continued cooking seriously.
Going by the proportions given, he added the other ingredients, took out the overly charred beef, plated it, and looked satisfied.
Next, he made scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
He took out two eggs.
Instead of tapping them gently, he smashed them into the bowl, took out the shells, and scrambled them without minding the small bits of eggshell that got mixed in. Then he chopped up several tomatoes into chunks of different sizes.
After preparing everything, Yin Qin followed the steps to cook.
Soon, another dish, which was also overly charred, was ready to be served.
Yin Qin felt quite satisfied with himself.
He put the two dishes on the dining table, and then limped back to the kitchen to make vegetable tofu soup.
Making vegetable tofu soup was relatively easy.
To him, as long as there was no oil, it was good.
Oil was truly scary.
Yin Qin placed the soup on the dining table.
By now, Xiaolang had finished her training and, fresh out of the shower, she was wearing a slightly longer and much larger set of short sleeves and shorts.
Her figure was concealed this way.
But even so, when Yin Qin saw Xiaolang come out of the shower, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
He couldn’t even control it!
