Chapter 341: I’ll Stay Up Late With You But Staying Up Late Can Lead to Sudden Death

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ruan Qi didn’t say anything. Neither did Song Zhou.

As the hostess, Tang Beibei stepped up to say, “I’m Tang Beibei, Mr. Chen’s wife. This is…”

Tang Beibei paused for a few seconds and looked at Song Zhou, waiting for him to speak.

However, Song Zhou did not say anything, so Tang Beibei could only say, “This is my good friend, Ruan Qi. Madam Mi Qing, you came so suddenly. We’re in the middle of a barbecue. If you don’t mind, please sit and eat with us.”

“Thank you. I happen to be hungry. Mrs. Chen, you’re so young and beautiful.”

“You’re too kind. You’re beautiful too.”

Tang Beibei was also surprised that Song Zhou’s fiancee was Amy, a celebrity.

However, she looked quite different without filter.

Tang Beibei felt that she was no match for Ruan Qi.

Tang Beibei was polite. She turned to Song Zhou and said, “Weren’t you on your way to get some water? Qiqi, we need more food. Please help us get some from the kitchen.”

Song Zhou walked in, followed by Ruan Qi.

Song Zhou held her hand the moment they entered the house.

“Ruan Qi, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect her to suddenly come here. I’ll talk to her about cancelling our engagement first. We’ll discuss you and me later.”

Ruan Qi didn’t look happy.

But she knew that this woman had saved Song Zhou’s life and he wouldn’t burn bridges with her.

“Then please clarify things quickly. I don’t want to be thought of as the home wrecker.”

Song Zhou spat, “What nonsense are you talking about? How can you be the home wrecker? You’re my first love!”

“Since she’s here, she’s saving me a trip. I’ll definitely clarify things with her as soon as possible.”

The two of them came to an agreement and went back out to the courtyard. Their expressions had returned to normal, but because there was an outsider among them now, they couldn’t talk as freely.

Song Zhou asked Mi Qing why she broke up with her boyfriend. Wasn’t everything fine before?

Mi Qing’s eyes immediately turned red, and tears welled up. She said aggrievedly, “That man is a beast. He actually hit me!”

Song Zhou was furious. Even if he was going to call off the engagement with Mi Qing and had no romantic feelings for her all these years, he still treated her like a younger sister.

“That man actually dared to hit you. B*stard!”

“Yes, he was indeed a b*stard, so I broke up with him.” Mi Qing held his arm aggrievedly.

Ruan Qi rolled her eyes at the sight. With a crunch, she bit off a chicken wing bone and couldn’t swallow what was in her mouth. She threw away the unpalatable chicken wing and said that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest.

Tang Beibei was worried and stopped eating too.

This barbecue was supposed to be cheery. When the cheer was gone, even the food tasted different and became unpalatable.

Jiang Jingchen slowly got up, dusted off his body and said to Song Zhou, “You clean up this mess.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Song Zhou stood up and got away from Mi Qing.

Ruan Qi walked into the living room and punched a throw pillow angrily.

When she saw Tang Beibei come in, she complained. “That Mi Qing looks pure and innocent on camera, but when in person, sh*t! And she only treats Song Zhou as a spare tire.”

“After breaking up with another man she supposedly love, she came to find Song Zhou and even shamelessly introduced herself as his fiancee. Shameless!”

After Jiang Jingchen walked in, he kicked the door shut and said, “Even Song Zhou isn’t angry. Why are you so upset? You are just wasting energy.”

Ruan Qi was annoyed. “Are you my friend? You’re actually helping Mi Qing and not me?”

Tang Beibei glared at Jiang Jingchen and comforted Ruan Qi, “Don’t worry. This matter still depends on Song Zhou’s attitude.”

“His attitude? If Mi Qing seduced him, who’s going to give me another boyfriend?”

Jiang Jingchen snapped back, “If you’re so upset, you can tell Song Zhou yourself instead of taking it out on my wife.”

Ruan Qi realized that she had lost her temper for no reason. She apologized to Tang Beibei and turned to go back to the guest room.

Tang Beibei held her hand and patted her back gently.

“We’re best friends. If you said a few mean words when in a bad mood, I won’t take it to heart. But please don’t be too sad. If you panic on the first day Mi Qing is here, how are you going to get through this?”

Ruan Qi took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down.

“You’re right. I don’t think Mi Qing is an easy person to deal with.”

“My husband and I are both on your side. Hubby, right?” Tang Beibei asked Jiang Jingchen.

Jiang Jingchen’s lips twitched. “I was the one who brought you two together. I’m still expecting my red packet when you get married. Whose side do you think I’ll take?”

With Jiang Jingchen’s support, Ruan Qi felt a little more at ease.

Jiang Jingchen was cunning and ruthless. He could handle any malicious tricksters!

In the courtyard, Song Zhou cleaned up the barbecue pit while Mi Qing sat watching.

When he was almost done cleaning up, she pushed her suitcase into the living room and asked him where his room was with a smile. She wanted to put her suitcase there.

Song Zhou’s room was filled with his and Ruan Qi’s belongings.

Song Zhou quickly said, “Mr. Chen doesn’t like strangers staying over at his place. This is Mr. Chen’s villa. I can’t let you stay here without his permission.”

Mi Qing said, “I’m your fiancee and I hardly see you. Of course, we’ll stay together. I’ve met Mr. Chen several times, so I’m not a stranger.”

Jiang Jingchen, who was peeling an apple, looked up at Mi Qing.

“You and I are not strangers, but to my wife, you are.”

Mi Qing was a little embarrassed, but she was good at managing her expression.

She said to Tang Beibei, “Mrs. Chen, we’ll get to know each other better soon enough. I came here suddenly and have nowhere to go. I can only come to Brother Song Zhou. Please let me stay here.”

She then put her palms together and begged pitifully.

How could Tang Beibei let her stay? “You can stay at a hotel. We’ll pay for your accommodation. Please have a good rest back at the hotel.”

Now that Song Zhou had a way out, he quickly added, “Mi Qing, the hotel is more spacious. My room is a mess and I haven’t cleaned it up yet. Let me take you there.”

This was their territory and Tang Beibei had expressed her unwelcomeness. It would be embarrassing if Mi Qing insisted on staying here.

She could only stay at a hotel. freewe(b)novel

Song Zhou helped her carry her luggage and sent her to the hotel.

Ruan Qi was a little depressed after the two of them left.

A few hours ago, Song Zhou was her boyfriend, but now he was someone else’s fiance.

Tang Beibei comforted her, “Don’t cower in front of your love rival. You told me that, Qiqi. Don’t worry. Song Zhou was willing to risk his life for you, so how could he betray you?”

Ruan Qi nodded. She could only take things one step at a time.

At night, Ruan Qi lay in bed after taking a shower and waited for Song Zhou until midnight. But the man still wasn’t back.

She got up and walked to the living room. She looked out the window, hoping to see flashing car lights.

She waited in the living room until almost 1 a.m.

“Qiqi, why aren’t you asleep yet?” Tang Beibei asked from upstairs.

“I’m waiting for Song Zhou.”

Tang Beibei frowned and asked Jiang Jingchen to call Song Zhou and ask him what was going on.

Jiang Jingchen was annoyed. How could Song Zhou be gone for so long?

He dialed Song Zhou’s number, and the call went through.

“Song Zhou, are you prepared to die outside?”

“No, Young Master. Mi Qing said she couldn’t sleep and insisted that I keep her company.” Song Zhou was also helpless. Every time he said he was leaving, Mi Qing would act coquettishly, saying that she was scared and didn’t dare to sleep alone. She insisted that he accompany her.

Jiang Jingchen sneered. “Tell her that your young master is about to die, and he asked you to come back to take care of the funeral!”

Tang Beibei scolded him angrily after she saw him hang up the phone.

“Why are you cursing yourself? You are not about to die. You’re fine.”

Jiang Jingchen yawned. “If you don’t sleep tonight, I’ll stay up with you but staying up late can lead to sudden death.”

Tang Beibei also wanted to sleep, but she was worried about Ruan Qi.

Although Ruan Qi was not related to her by blood, she treated her like family.

Ruan Qi’s relationship wasn’t going well. She must be upset when something like this happened. When Tang Beibei heard the commotion downstairs, she got up to check.

Jiang Jingchen rubbed her face. She was clearly sleepy, but she wouldn’t rest as long as Ruan Qi was up.

He was impatient and called Song Zhou again.

“Where are you now?”

“I’m still at the hotel.”

Jiang Jingchen laughed in exasperation. This Mi Qing woman was quite good at pestering people.

“Give her the phone. I’ll talk to her.”

“Mi Qing, I need Song Zhou. Let him come back!”

Mi Qing sobbed, “Mr. Chen, it’s so late and you still need him to do things. He’s your subordinate, not your dog!”

“Why does he have to be at your beck and call 24/7? He has his own life and will eventually get married and have a family!”
