Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Sinful Affinity

Qin Yi was originally smiling, but as he spoke, his eyes gradually dimmed.

Xia Yanbing noticed Qin Yi’s expression and her eyes also dimmed slightly.

When Qin Yi saved her, it was his junior year of college. If he hadn’t saved her, Qin Yi would have a different life now, not sitting in a wheelchair every day.

She would always remember the scene where Qin Yi pushed her away, only to be hit by a car himself.

Actually, Xia Yanbing misunderstood Qin Yi’s thoughts. The reason Qin Yi was feeling low was because ever since he became disabled, those brothers and friends from the past all distanced themselves from him, even his family too.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Qin Wan’er held Qin Yi’s hand with concern.

Qin Yi snapped out of it, smiled, and patted her little head, "I’m fine. How about you tell me how your piano lessons are going lately?"

Qin Wan’er pouted, childishly saying, "Wan’er is quite dumb and not learning well."

"You’re dumb?" Yan Yutong couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "You’re just setting your standards too high. It’s only been a short time, but you’ve already reached Level Four."

Qin Yi had some understanding of piano; the levels ranged up to ten, but a more authoritative music college divided them into nine. Qin Wan’er had only been learning for a little over a month and already reached Level Four, which was impressive.

Qin Yi pinched her chubby little face, "I only have one request: don’t tire yourself out."

"How could I? Look, I still have time to come out for a meal." Qin Wan’er rubbed her cheek against Qin Yi’s palm like a kitten, smiling as she spoke.

Qin Yi looked at Qin Wan’er and said, "Have you gained a little weight?"

Qin Wan’er pouted, "I have not!"

Qin Yi smiled wryly. Like any woman, no one likes to be called fat, and Qin Wan’er was no exception.

Yan Yutong laughed and said, "She gained two pounds and was troubled by it for several days."

"Oh, Yutong sis..." Qin Wan’er puffed her cheeks in a cute protest.

Qin Yi consoled her with a laugh, "A bit of chubbiness looks good; the face is plumper and feels better to pinch."

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Qin Yi was genuinely happy, clearly seeing that Qin Wan’er was getting along well with the Dong Family. If Wan’er was happy, he’d be happy too.

However, Xia Yanbing felt a bit bitter; she rarely saw Qin Wan’er laugh so heartily at home—it was a joy that came from the depths of her being.

Back then, she was entirely focused on her work and indeed didn’t give Qin Wan’er enough attention.

Actually, Xia Yanbing treated Qin Wan’er very well, but unfortunately, she was often not at home, and there was that vulgar Dong Jinsu barking like a dog every day.

While they chatted, the dishes they ordered were served.

Qin Yi and Dong Zhiping drank beer, while the three women had soft drinks.

"Come on, let’s have a drink first!"

Dong Zhiping raised his beer mug, which held a full bottle’s worth.

Xia Yanbing glanced at Qin Yi, "Your health isn’t great, and the beer is too cold. Let it sit for a while; eat something first before drinking."

Qin Yi was about to raise his glass, but after hearing Xia Yanbing’s words, he obediently put it down—a typical humble little Qin comrade.

Dong Zhiping shrugged, raised his glass to drink, but Yan Yutong coughed once.

Dong Zhiping’s hand froze, awkwardly placing the glass down, "Let’s eat first; the crayfish won’t taste good if it gets cold."

Qin Yi’s lips curled slightly; it seemed that Dong Zhiping didn’t hold a high status at home either.

"Here, brother!" Qin Wan’er placed a peeled crayfish in front of Qin Yi.

"You eat too; don’t worry about me."

Qin Yi smiled and asked, "Why did you all think of coming here for a meal?"

Dong Zhiping said, "Wan’er wanted to; she wanted to eat crayfish...and I have to say, it really is tasty."

"If the owner heard your compliments, they’d be thrilled and probably spread the news all over Yinfeng City by tomorrow: the crayfish approved by the eldest son of the Dong Family. Guess everyone would want to try it."

Qin Yi joked with a smile; the Dong Family was the dominance in Yinfeng’s restaurant industry. If Dong Zhiping said it was delicious, many people would likely flock to try it—this was the effect of celebrity endorsement.

While eating crayfish, Dong Zhiping muttered through his mouthful, "I wouldn’t dare say anything else, but to make a restaurant either flourish or collapse, it’s just a matter of one word."

"Stop bragging; you haven’t even drunk yet, and you’re already talking big?" Yan Yutong said disdainfully.

Dong Zhiping had an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Oh, it’s so hot today, the ice-cold beer has already turned warm after sitting for a while. It’s rare for us to gather together, let’s have a toast."

Qin Yi didn’t dare touch his glass.

Xia Yanbing smiled and said, "Come on, everyone together!"

Only then did Qin Yi lift his glass and clink it with the others.

"It’s really hot, let’s have a drink."

"These crayfish are a bit spicy, have a drink to relieve the spiciness."

"This new wheelchair of yours looks great; congrats on the new ’car,’ let’s celebrate with a drink!"

Yan Yutong looked speechlessly at Dong Zhiping—this guy had almost run out of reasons just to drink.

In just a moment, the two had already downed several bottles of beer.

Dong Zhiping gave Qin Yi a look; he really had no more excuses.

Qin Yi held back his laughter, raised his glass, "To Dong Brother, thank you and Yutong sis for taking care of Wan’er."

"No need to be formal; we’re family. Here’s to everything being in the drink, cheers." Dong Zhiping’s eyes showed admiration, Qin Yi’s reason was indeed excellent.

"Hubby!"

Suddenly, a pair of white arms, as tender as lotus roots, hugged Qin Yi’s neck from behind.

As soon as Qin Yi heard this address, his scalp tingled, nearly spitting out the drink he just had, and he choked, stretching his neck.

Dong Zhiping, Yan Yutong, Xia Yanbing, and Qin Wan’er all stared wide-eyed at the beautiful girl half-leaning on Qin Yi’s back, holding onto his neck.

"Hi, everyone, my name is Duan Yiyi."

Duan Yiyi happily waved and greeted the crowd.

Dong Zhiping and Yan Yutong exchanged glances, struggling to regain their composure.

This girl called Qin Yi her husband?

It took Qin Yi a while to calm his breath, noticing everyone’s expressions, making his scalp tingle again.

Especially Xia Yanbing, whose lovely face had already darkened.

Qin Yi felt like crying without tears, forcefully prying Duan Yiyi’s hands off his neck, turning around to say, "What are you doing here?"

Dong Zhiping and the others were even more shocked; Qin Yi really knew this girl?

Did Qin Yi cheat?

Oh my God! Isn’t this too far-fetched?

Xia Yanbing, with both beauty and intelligence, never minded that Qin Yi was disabled.

Yet Qin Yi was the one who cheated first, this...

Duan Yiyi beamed, pointing a finger, "I came with my brother."

Duan Yunfan walked over, smiling, "Hello everyone, I’m Duan Yunfan."

"Hubby, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet you here. Wouldn’t you say we’re destined to be together?"

Duan Yiyi said happily, her focus entirely on Qin Yi, oblivious to the others’ reactions.

Qin Yi smiled wryly. Destined? More like a doomed relationship, "Weren’t you grounded?"

"It’s not my fault this time; Duan Yunfan had a craving, so he dragged me along."

Duan Yunfan rolled his eyes; it was clearly her craving for barbecue and beer.

After all, Duan Yunfan was thirty, with a meticulous mind. He sensed something was off with the reactions at the table and said with a smile, "We won’t disturb you all, please enjoy."

"Duan Yiyi, shall we go?"

"No way, I finally got to see hubby, I want to eat with him. You go find food on your own if you don’t want to stay."
