Chapter 155: Chapter 155 I Want You to Fall in Love with Me

After a long pause, Xia Yanbing finally spoke, "Not very familiar?"

Qin Yi hurriedly said, "Really not very familiar."

"Let’s not talk about Miss Duan calling you her ’little husband.’ Just your way of talking to them is unusual. They are from the Duan Family, and even someone like Director Dong would feel nervous talking to them. Yet, you show not the slightest restraint when speaking with them."

"Miss Duan doesn’t even listen to Duan Shao, but she obeys your words."

"Moreover, you might be the first person in all of Yinfeng City to call Duan Yunfan stupid to his face."

"Qin Yi, are you telling me you’re not familiar with them?"

Qin Yi smiled bitterly in his heart. He thought he was being careful, but he underestimated Xia Yanbing’s perceptiveness.

"Ahem... actually, it’s like this. I know Duan Xinyuan, so I don’t have many qualms when talking to them."

Screech...!

Xia Yanbing slammed on the brakes, and in a moment of shock almost drove the car into the roadside ditch.

"Are you, are you okay?"

Xia Yanbing looked at Qin Yi in shock, "Who did you just say you know?"

Qin Yi said, "Duan Xinyuan."

"The Family Head of the Duan Family?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Xia Yanbing exclaimed, "You call him by name?"

Qin Yi: "..."

Damn, his mouth was just asking for it. Qin Yi felt like crying without tears, it felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

"Well, it’s like this. Anyway, Duan Xinyuan can’t hear me now, so calling him by name shouldn’t be an issue, right?"

Xia Yanbing gazed at Qin Yi with flickering eyes, slowly saying, "Qin Yi, how much more are you hiding from me?"

Qin Yi felt a jolt inside; today’s appearance of Duan Yiyi indeed caught him off guard and brought him much trouble.

"I’ve never hidden anything from you."

"And what about the Duan Family?"

Qin Yi said, "Actually, I met Duan Xinyuan by chance, and I don’t intend to gain anything from their family. I just consider him another good friend, really didn’t mean to hide it from you."

Xia Yanbing said, "Do you know how many people in Yinfeng City want to know Duan Xinyuan? People would break their heads to connect with the Duan Family, and you only consider him another friend?"

"If people found out you know Duan Xinyuan, I bet by tomorrow the gifts would flood our doorway."

Qin Yi found it funny inside, Duan Family so formidable? Currently, it’s Duan Xinyuan who takes pride in knowing him; it’s him, Duan Family, who is reaching up, okay?

"Do we have such a doorway?"

Xia Yanbing: "..."

Qin Yi asked in confusion, "Does our house really have such a doorway? I haven’t noticed in so long."

Xia Yanbing rolled her eyes wordlessly.

"Qin Yi, you’re a kind person; Heaven will watch over the good."

Qin Yi said delightfully, "I know, that’s why God sent you to my side."

Xia Yanbing was taken aback. Was Qin Yi confessing to her?

"Qin Yi, you know we didn’t marry because we love each other, right? I can’t hide this from you, it wouldn’t be fair!"

Qin Yi chuckled softly, "I know, I’m not foolish."

"Xia Yanbing, can I ask you something?"

Xia Yanbing was momentarily stunned; it was the first time Qin Yi was so serious.

"Go ahead."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "Do you despise me?"

Xia Yanbing looked completely puzzled and asked, "Why would I despise you?"

"Because I’m disabled." Qin Yi appeared at ease and then said, "I’m not saying this to morally pressure you, I want to hear the truth."

"No, even with your disability, I’ve never despised you. I’m speaking the truth; it has nothing to do with you saving me, it’s the truest feeling of my inner Qi."

Qin Yi’s mouth curved into a bright smile. Then, looking earnestly at Xia Yanbing, he said, "Xiaobing, I will find a way to make you fall in love with me."

Xia Yanbing stared blankly at Qin Yi. His gaze was bright, as clear as a stream, so clear that she could see herself reflected in his eyes.

This guy was serious because Qin Yi’s eyes were utterly sincere.

"Alright!"

Qin Yi was stunned; he hadn’t expected Xia Yanbing to agree.

Xia Yanbing restarted the car and said with a slight smile, "Actually, from the moment we got married, I vowed to take care of you for a lifetime because I owe you that."

"Since it’s going to be a lifetime, wouldn’t it be better if I fell in love with you?"

Qin Yi laughed; in all these years, he had never been as happy as he was at this moment.

"Xiaobing, even if my name is notorious for a lifetime, with a heavy burden of sin, I would never harm you in the slightest. This is my promise to you."

Xia Yanbing gave Qin Yi a strange look, "That’s the weirdest romantic line I’ve ever heard."

Qin Yi smiled a soft, close-lipped smile.

Actually, it wasn’t casually said. Recently, Qin Yi discovered he had a problem, like occasionally having violent, bloodthirsty impulses, even losing his mind.

Like when Qin Wan’er was captured by the Blood Evil Sect, or when Duan Yiyi was hurt by the Blood Flood Dragon; he nearly lost his sanity, with a compulsion to tear everything apart.

Just now, when Zhang Yicai provoked him, that bloodthirsty compulsion emerged again, which he barely suppressed with energy movement.

Qin Yi knew he had a problem, but he still didn’t know the root cause.

But if this continues, he’s afraid he might one day completely lose his mind, do something horrifying, and when that happens, slaughter would be inevitable. He might become a notorious God of Killing, despised by thousands, or commit unforgivable crimes.

"Are you really not hiding anything else from me?"

"Huh?" Qin Yi was lost in thought and didn’t expect Xia Yanbing to suddenly ask this, he blanked for a moment, then said, "There really isn’t anything else."

Xia Yanbing slowly said, "Thinking about it, I really don’t understand you at all."

"Linlin told me several times that your tongue is sharp, each word like a knife, piercing her heart painfully, could this be true as well?"

Qin Yi quickly said, "She wrongs me. Think about it, the way I am, if I really dared do that, with her temper could I have survived until now?"

Xia Yanbing burst into laughter, "Linlin’s personality might be fierce, but she’s actually quite good."

"Your smile is really beautiful."

Xia Yanbing gave Qin Yi a strange look, "Are you at a loss for words? With all the books you’ve read, where did that get you? Was your next line going to be about flowers in spring? Don’t think I don’t know that’s a song lyric."

Qin Yi smiled wryly, "I’m being serious; your smile is truly beautiful."

A blush unknowingly climbed up Xia Yanbing’s pretty face, and her attractive lips curved slightly upward.

Since I vowed to take care of Qin Yi for a lifetime, why not switch to an easier way of getting along?

The previous way of getting along was really like the most familiar strangers.

"Qin Yi, from today, you sleep in the guest room."

"Huh?" Qin Yi was completely baffled. What was going on? They were just fine a moment ago, how did things turn so quickly?

Xia Yanbing smiled gently and said, "If you want me to fall in love with you, then you’ll need to show some real skills, so I can get to know and accept you anew."
