"Hurriedly, Dongqing left the banquet hotel under the protection of numerous bodyguards, including Mingxuan and Li Qing.Sitting in the car, Dongqing's head was throbbing. She gently massaged her temples and turned her face away, as Mingxuan was sitting next to her.She didn't know what to say to Mingxuan, but she was clear that the easy friendship they had in the hospital could never be regained. Regardless of Mingxuan's intentions in proposing to her, or whether they would end up together or this proposal would turn into a farce, she and Mingxuan could never go back to how they were before."
The temperature inside the car was a bit low, Dong Qing shivered and put on an extra coat. When she turned around, she saw Ming Xuan gazing at her affectionately."Thank you." Dong Qing tightened Ming Xuan's coat around her.In the car, Dong Qing and Ming Xuan sat silently until they arrived at Ming's house.After getting off the car, Dong Qing followed behind Ming Xuan with her head down. It was already late at night and everyone in Ming's family was asleep. They returned to Ming Xuan's residence without disturbing anyone.Upon arriving at Ming Xuan's courtyard, the servants had prepared everything. Under the guidance of a few maids, Dong Qing entered the bathroom where the water had already been prepared.As she relaxed in the water, her nerves were still tense.Dong Qing felt very tired.After leaving the bathroom, Dong Qing saw Ming Xuan sitting on the sofa. Seeing him reminded her of Ming Xuan's mother, Lady Ming, his sister Ming Yu, and his grandfather, all of whom gave her a headache. The only person she was familiar with, Ming Huan, didn't live in the main house of Ming's family."I'm tired." Dong Qing was really exhausted.Ming Xuan stood up and walked towards her. "Dong Qing, I hope you can completely forget about that person before our wedding."
East Qing turned her face away: "I'm tired.""Well, then rest well. Rest well and come with me to meet my parents tomorrow." After saying that, Ming Xuan picked up the suit on the sofa and turned to leave.In the bedroom, East Qing climbed onto the bed. With a troubled mind, she was truly exhausted and fell into a deep sleep in no time.The next morning, East Qing was still asleep. In Ming's study, Ming Xuan, Li Qing, and Mi Er were present.Ming Xuan leaned against the back of his leather chair.After the servant served the tea and left, Ming Xuan took a sip."What's going on with you two? Is there something you need from me so early in the morning?" Ming Xuan picked up the tea and sipped it slowly."Ming Xuan, why did you do this?" Li Qing hadn't spoken yet, but Mi Er couldn't help but ask."I thought you two came early to congratulate me." Ming Xuan continued to sip his tea slowly, indifferent.
"Xuan, tell me your thoughts." Li Qing turned the teacup in her hand."I love Dong Qing." Ming Xuan said calmly."What about Ke Xin?" Li Qing asked without changing her expression. "Xuan, you can't just treat Dong Qing as a shadow of Ke Xin for the rest of your life. That's not fair to Dong Qing."Mier seemed a bit confused. "Li Qing, who is Ke Xin?""Mier, I'll tell you about it later." Li Qing looked at Mier and explained."Feelings can be cultivated slowly. After I marry her, I will fall in love with her. Even if I treat her as Ke Xin for the rest of my life, I will not mistreat her. But I will never allow her to be with another man, because she is another Ke Xin. I won't let Ke Xin become someone else's woman." Ming Xuan finished, slamming the teacup on the table, spilling some of the tea."What about your uncle and aunt? Will they agree to you marrying Dong Qing, a girl with no family background?" Li Qing hit the nail on the head."Li Qing, what do you think?" Ming Xuan smiled.Li Qing fell silent. He knew Ming Xuan well, and once he made a decision, no one could change it. This was what Ming Lao Ye valued most about Ming Xuan, just like when he was young."That's not okay, Ming Xuan. From what you're saying, it seems like you don't love Dong Qing at all. Isn't it selfish of you to do this? Dong Qing didn't do anything to provoke you. Marriage is a lifelong commitment. As Li Qing said, if you never love her, what will happen to Dong Qing? You are the head of the Ming family, you can afford to play around, but can Dong Qing? Can she afford it?" Mier started to get agitated as she spoke.
Mingxuan's face was constantly changing, and Li Qing pulled on Mier's sleeve when she saw it.Mier ignored Li Qing and looked at Mingxuan. "Where is Dongqing? I want to see her."Mingxuan didn't say anything and pressed the phone on the table.A maid came in from outside, Mier glanced at Li Qing and followed the maid out of the study, leaving Mingxuan and Li Qing behind."Anyway, Mingxuan, I hope you can seriously consider it. And one more thing, Dongqing and Mosun seem to have an unusual relationship? We still haven't figured out this person's background. We have to be careful, Mingxuan." Seeing that Mingxuan didn't say anything, Li Qing continued, "Mingxuan, don't you find it strange? Why did the T City government suddenly launch a major crackdown? I checked, the government has never taken such a big action before, and this time's crackdown can be said to be the biggest anti-crime achievement in the history of T City, almost catching all the small fish and shrimps in the city. Don't you find it strange, Mingxuan? I always feel like there's some conspiracy behind this, and I feel like it's closely related to Mosun. And I'm sure the government has even bigger plans, their goal is definitely not just to deal with a few troublemakers on the surface. So, Mingxuan, we have to be even more careful. If you really decide to marry Dongqing, those old guys who think they're elders will definitely not agree, and you have to watch out for their sneaky actions and protect Dongqing's safety. I'm afraid Dongqing will end up like Kexin." Mingxuan sighed, "Li Qing, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Why are you so hesitant now?" "Because I don't want to see the you from five years ago," Li Qing closed his eyes. The days when Mier died were a torture for Mingxuan.Mingxuan walked to Li Qing's side and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, Li Qing, I won't let the same thing happen again. Besides, we can't just wait for them to come to us, we have to take the initiative." After saying that, Mingxuan smiled unpredictably, making Li Qing a little uneasy. In the past five years, Mingxuan had changed.
"Master, something's not right." The steward of the Ming family, Uncle Ming, didn't even knock on the door and barged in.Ming Xuan looked at Uncle Ming's panicked expression and frowned, "What's the matter, Uncle Ming?""I'm sorry, Master, I was too hasty." After saying that, he handed a stack of newspapers to Ming Xuan.Li Qing quickly took them and placed them on the desk to read. Before he could even finish, he exclaimed to Ming Xuan, "Xuan, come take a look."As if he had already anticipated it, Ming Xuan smiled and said, "Li Qing, don't be so surprised. Wait for Uncle Ming to finish speaking."Uncle Ming was surprised, "Master, you already know?"
