Chapter 257 You're not feeling well right now
“Don’t forget,” Yu Yuetong struggled to push him away, “I’m inside your body right now. Are you falling in love with yourself?”
Qin Reng was taken aback, then gave a helpless smile: "You're right, our current situation is indeed absurd. But..." He paused, "I'm telling the truth."
"That's enough," Yu Yuetong interrupted him, "Let's deal with the immediate problem first. What about the old lady..."
“I’ll go explain to Grandma,” Qin Reng suddenly said. “I’ll tell her that I was wrong before, which is why you want a divorce.”
"Are you crazy?" Yu Yuetong's eyes widened. "You're the heir to the Qin family, how could you do this..."
"So what?" Qin Reng retorted, "You think I should, like before, push all the blame onto you?"
Yu Yuetong was speechless. She had never seen Qin Reng like this before, this usually aloof man who was now willing to take on everything for her.
"Ring ring—" The phone rang suddenly, breaking the delicate atmosphere between the two.
It was Ji Momo who called.
Yu Yuetong glanced at Qin Reng and answered the phone: "Hello?"
“President Qin,” Ji Momo’s voice was tinged with urgency, “I just saw Qin Yu at the company; he seemed to be looking for some documents…”
Yu Yuetong's expression changed instantly. She remembered Qin Reng saying that an important acquisition contract was currently in his office. If Qin Yu got his hands on it…
"I'm going back to the company right away," Yu Yuetong said, then hung up the phone and turned to Qin Reng, saying, "You go home first, I have some things to take care of."
"I'll go with you," Qin Reng said, getting out of the car.
“No,” Yu Yuetong pressed him down, “How can you face anyone looking like this? Besides…” She gave a sly smile, “Didn’t you say you trusted me?”
Looking at her smile, Qin Reng suddenly felt a flutter in his heart. This feeling was both familiar and strange to him; it was clearly his own face, yet it stirred a flutter in him that he had never felt before.
“Okay,” he finally conceded, “but you have to be careful.”
"Don't worry," Yu Yuetong patted her chest, "I'm inside your body, who would dare to bully President Qin?"
Watching Yu Yuetong drive away, Qin Reng suddenly realized that he seemed to have really changed. And all of this change was because of the woman in front of him.
"What do you mean it's not too late?" Yu Yuetong was startled by his sudden action and subconsciously tried to pull her hand back.
“I mean,” Qin Reng gripped her wrist tightly, looking intently at her, “we still have a chance to start over.”
Yu Yuetong was stunned. She had never seen Qin Reng look at her like that before; his usually cold eyes now held a hint of pleading.
"Are you running a fever?" Yu Yuetong reached out and touched his forehead. "Why are you talking nonsense?"
“I’m perfectly lucid,” Qin Reng said, taking her hand and pressing her palm against his cheek. “I’ve never been this lucid before.”
Yu Yuetong felt the warmth from the palm of his hand, and her heart raced uncontrollably. She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a piercing horn blare.
A black sedan stopped next to them, and the window rolled down, revealing Ji Momo's delicate face.
"President Qin," Ji Momo looked at them with a smile, "what kind of idol drama are we acting out here?"
Yu Yuetong then realized they were still standing by the roadside. She hurriedly pulled her hand back, but Qin Reng gripped it even tighter.
"Miss Ji, is there something you need?" Yu Yuetong asked, trying to appear calm.
“Of course I have something to say,” Ji Momo got out of the car and walked over gracefully. “I just came from the company. I heard that President Qin was not feeling well, so I came to see him.”
Qin Reng frowned, seemingly displeased by Ji Momo's appearance. He was about to speak when he suddenly felt nauseous again, and his whole body swayed.
"Watch out!" Yu Yuetong quickly steadied him.
Ji Momo quickly stepped forward: "President Qin, do you need to go to the hospital? I can take you."
“No need,” Yu Yuetong said coldly. “We can go by ourselves.”
“But you’re in President Qin’s body now,” Ji Momo said pointedly, “What if something happens while you’re driving…”
Yu Yuetong was startled. What did Ji Momo mean by that? Did she know about their body swap?
Just then, Qin Reng suddenly spoke up: "Miss Ji, you don't need to worry about our marital affairs."
Ji Momo's face stiffened for a moment, then she smiled again: "I was just concerned about President Qin, wasn't I? Besides, didn't Sister Yuetong consult a lawyer about divorce before?"
“That was before,” Qin Reng said, looking directly at Ji Momo. “It won’t happen now.”
Yu Yuetong looked at Qin Reng in surprise. Was he... protecting her?
"Is that so?" Ji Momo smiled meaningfully. "Then I'm relieved. But President Qin, some things aren't as simple as just saying you won't do them."
After saying that, she turned around, got into the car, and drove away.
"What does she mean by that?" Yu Yuetong asked, frowning.
Qin Reng was silent for a moment before saying, "She seems to know something."
"what do you know?"
"Our bodies swapping," Qin Reng said in a low voice, "and she seems to care about you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Reng's phone rang again. This time it was a notification for an emergency board meeting.
"Why did it have to happen at this time?" Yu Yuetong said irritably, looking at her phone screen.
“Go ahead,” Qin Reng said. “I’ll take a taxi home myself.”
“No,” Yu Yuetong refused decisively, “How can I leave you alone in your current condition?”
"But the board of directors..."
“Those old foxes on the board,” Yu Yuetong helped Qin Reng into the car, “could they be more important than you?”
Upon hearing this, both of them froze. The air suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of their breathing remaining.
Qin Reng turned his head and stared intently at Yu Yuetong. The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became ambiguous.
"What did you just say?" His voice was a little hoarse.
Yu Yuetong then realized what she had said, and her face flushed red: "I meant... you're not feeling well right now, so I can't let you go back alone."
"No, you're saying I'm more important than the board of directors." Qin Reng's gaze was intense. "When did you start caring about me?"
"I...I just..." Yu Yuetong stammered, her heart pounding even faster. She wanted to explain that it was just because she was using his body now, but the words wouldn't come out.
Just then, Qin Reng suddenly clutched his chest, his face turning deathly pale.
"What's wrong?" Yu Yuetong, disregarding her embarrassment, quickly approached to check.
"My chest... hurts a little..." Qin Reng said through gritted teeth.
Yu Yuetong panicked: "I'll take you to the hospital right away!"
Just as she was about to start the car, Qin Reng grabbed her wrist: "No need to go to the hospital...it's probably just the medication not wearing off yet..."
"What are the effects of this medicine?" Yu Yuetong frowned.
Qin Reng didn't answer, but gripped her wrist tightly, his breathing becoming rapid. Only then did Yu Yuetong notice that his eyes had become unfocused, and his cheeks had flushed an unnatural red.
