After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 399 - 389: Love That Runs Both Ways

"Mr. Zhao, if there’s any other video you want to buy, just let me know. I have everything, and the price is negotiable."

Zheng Qian smiled politely, his tone was courteous, but his eyes were full of disdain. He cast a quick contemptuous glance at Zhao Jun before quickly withdrawing it, clearly feeling repulsed.

Zhao Jun, feeling a surge of anger from being sized up like that, found no reason to vent, "You’re just a dog, what’s with the arrogance?"

"Even hitting a dog requires considering its owner."

Zheng Qian wasn’t fazed at all and stared directly at Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun felt inexplicably guilty under his gaze and could only reluctantly lead his people upstairs into the private room.

The crowd who had gathered to watch the commotion in the hall had already been dispersed, and all videos were deleted. Only then did Zheng Qian turn around and call Pei Yan to inform him that everything had been handled.

An Yueqian’s room.

An Yueqian held An Chengjin close, with Chengjin gently patting his mother’s shoulder, staying silent.

Qin Yun and Pei Yan had escorted them back and didn’t rush to leave, deciding to stay for a visit.

It took An Yueqian a while to collect herself, and she apologetically smiled at Qin Yun, "I’m sorry you had to witness such an incident. Rest assured, I’ll have Lin Huan handle today’s issues. I won’t let that scumbag harm you."

An Yueqian knew very well what kind of person Zhao Jun was — insidious, selfish, and a master of deception.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been blind enough to fall for him back then.

"It’s fine, Pei Yan has already sent someone to take care of it." Since Qin Yun came out, she’d seen Pei Yan instruct Zheng Qian to handle it, so she wasn’t worried. What concerned her now was An Yueqian’s mood.

Since leaving the hotel, she had been in low spirits, and her hands trembled as she held An Chengjin.

"Xiao Jin, godfather would like some water. Could you get him a glass?"

Qin Yun took An Chengjin from An Yueqian’s arms, asking him to find Pei Yan, expecting that the little guy might not readily agree.

But An Chengjin just gave An Yueqian a worried glance before softly whispering to Qin Yun, "Thank you, godmother."

An Chengjin’s sensibility was heart-wrenching.

Qin Yun gently stroked his soft hair and let him go.

She then opened her arms to hug An Yueqian, "Sister Yueqian, that scumbag will have no good ending." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

An Yueqian forced a smile, taking a deep breath, "Mmm, I’m alright."

In truth, she rarely succumbed to despair, knowing that negative emotions solve nothing and only lead to deeper despair and failure.

But sometimes, emotions are hard to control.

"Thank you so much today; really, it was such a relief." An Yueqian recalled Qin Yun’s fierce berating of Zhao Jun, which gradually warmed her heart.

"We were college classmates. Back then, he was so gentle, considerate, and extraordinarily patient. I had a bad temper, yet he tried everything to make me happy, fulfilling my requests no matter how unreasonable."

"At that time, I truly saw him as the light of my life, so despite my family’s objections, I married him without hesitation. I even gave him my first earnings to support his endeavors, causing his business to grow beyond my control. Until last year..."

"I always thought we were deeply connected until I found out he had a mistress and an illegitimate child."

An Yueqian spoke softly.

Qin Yun was shocked.

Is this man really that despicable?

"All these years, he was only interested in my money."

These words, An Yueqian had never told anyone.

She was strong-willed and awkward, not one to easily show weakness.

But in front of Qin Yun, she seemed to have no such reservations.

Because Qin Yun just sat beside her, listening, never interrupting with questions.

"He hid the child from me, only occasionally letting me see him. I tried so many ways, but couldn’t bring the child back. He also refused a divorce. I even got people to take evidence of his infidelity, but the moment I did, he spirited them away, severing all ties cleanly. I’d even thought about leaving everything behind, as long as I had my child. Wasn’t I foolish?" An Yueqian looked at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun raised an eyebrow, "Sever swiftly, cut losses quickly, and everything will get better."

If she’d encountered such a man, she’d be mad enough to want to swallow him whole.

"But I’ve left Xiao Jin without a father."

This was An Yueqian’s persistent worry.

Qin Yun smiled, "It’s alright, Sister Yueqian, a better man is waiting for you."

Surely a thousand times better than Zhao the Scumbag!

An Yueqian just assumed Qin Yun was comforting her but only realized her naivety later when Qin Yun’s words came true.

Qin Yun and Pei Yan stayed in An Yueqian’s room for a couple more hours until both An Yueqian and An Chengjin were calm again before they drove off.

During the drive back, the car had a somber atmosphere.

Pei Yan’s long fingers gripped the steering wheel, his expression calm.

But Qin Yun felt a stir inside.

"Pei Yan."

She leaned against the car window, speaking softly, "I love you."

Pei Yan’s grip tightened, and he slammed on the brakes.

The sudden stop nearly caused a rear-end collision, and the driver behind even rolled down their window to shout at them before overtaking.

Pei Yan, unfazed, pulled over to the side of the road.

He unbuckled his seatbelt, turned to touch Qin Yun’s forehead, "What’s the matter? Why did you suddenly say that?"

Qin Yun smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Nothing much, just realized I hadn’t said ’I love you’ before."

Mutual pursuit—now that’s what you call love.

Her adorable demeanor made Pei Yan’s gaze soften, as he leaned down to kiss her, "Mmm, I love you too."

Pei Yan lovingly kissed Qin Yun, gentle yet restrained.

He knew An Yueqian’s situation had left Qin Yun affected, so he cuddled her like comforting a child, gently patting her back for a while.

Qin Yun grumbled discontentedly, "Why do I feel like you’re coddling me the same way Sister An comforts Xiao Jin?"

Pei Yan’s hands never stopped moving, speaking with pride, "Xiao Jin is An Yueqian’s baby, and you’re my baby."

That answer was a full score.

Qin Yun’s mood finally improved a bit.

They returned to the hotel, where Qin Yun fell asleep exhausted.

But Pei Yan opened the laptop and had someone investigate Zhao Jun.

And what they found was indeed quite a bit.

That bastard not only evaded taxes but also engaged in bribery and was involved in acquiring several projects via dubious means, with shady dealings in between.

Pei Yan, looking at the information on the screen, sighed and shook his head, "What sort of dog luck did this man have to end up with someone like An Yueqian?"
