Chapter 157 You've gone too far!
……
After Qin Reng pulled Yu Yuetong out of the room, he remained silent the whole way, his face terribly gloomy.
Yu Yuetong was being pulled along by him, her mind a jumble of thoughts. She secretly glanced at Qin Reng's profile and saw that his brows were furrowed, his lips were tightly pressed together, and his jawline was taut, as if he were about to explode at any moment.
Yu Yuetong felt a little scared, but she couldn't help wanting to comfort him. She gently patted Qin Reng's hand and said softly, "Qin Reng, don't be angry. Your mother is just worried about you..."
"Worried about me?" Qin Reng suddenly stopped, turned to look at Yu Yuetong, and laughed self-deprecatingly. "If she were really worried about me, she wouldn't have done something like this!"
"I..." Yu Yuetong was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Qin Reng looked at Yu Yuetong, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, and softened his tone, "Yuetong, I'm sorry, I made you laugh."
“It’s okay…” Yu Yuetong shook her head and said softly, “I can understand your mother’s feelings. She’s doing it for your own good.”
"For my own good?" Qin Reng gave a bitter smile. "Does her so-called 'for my own good' mean keeping me tied to her side and preventing me from being with the person I love?"
“Qin Reng…” Yu Yuetong looked at Qin Reng, her eyes filled with heartache.
Qin Reng suddenly reached out and pulled Yu Yuetong into a tight embrace, his voice low and hoarse, "Yu Yuetong, let's leave here, okay? Let's go somewhere where no one knows us and start over."
Yu Yuetong was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant, and a look of surprise and anticipation appeared on her face, "Really? Can we really leave here?"
"Of course it's true." Qin Reng looked at her, his eyes filled with determination. "As long as you're willing, I can give up everything and take you to the ends of the earth."
Looking at the affectionate man before her, Yu Yuetong felt a surge of emotion and sweetness. She nodded and softly murmured "Mmm," as if agreeing.
However, neither of them noticed that around the corner of the corridor, a furtive figure was hiding in the shadows, eavesdropping on their conversation.
……
Han Shuang stared at her son in disbelief, as if she were seeing him for the first time. Qin Reng had grown up beside her since childhood; when had he ever dared to speak to her in such a tone? "You...you've gone too far! You're abandoning your mother for a woman!"
Qin Reng sneered, his eyes as cold as if he were looking at a stranger. "I said, my business with Yue Tong is none of your concern! If you dare to interfere again, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"
Yu Yuetong stood aside, watching the tense mother and son stand before her, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew Qin Reng had said those words to protect her, but the more he did so, the more Han Shuang disliked her.
"Fine! Fine! Fine!" Han Shuang was so angry that she trembled all over. She pointed at Qin Reng's nose, unable to speak for a long time. In the end, she could only stomp her foot angrily, turn around and slam the door.
The room fell silent, leaving only Qin Reng and Yu Yuetong. Looking at Qin Reng's grim face, Yu Yuetong cautiously asked, "Qin Reng, are you alright?"
Qin Reng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and turned to look at Yu Yuetong, his eyes softening considerably. "I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"You...you really want to fall out with your mother for my sake?" Yu Yuetong asked anxiously.
Qin Reng reached out and pulled her into his arms, saying firmly, "Yuantong, I told you, I will protect you and will never let anyone hurt you again."
Yu Yuetong leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, a warm feeling welling up inside her. Perhaps, being with him really could help her find her own happiness?
"But... what should we do now?" Yu Yuetong looked up and asked, somewhat confused.
Qin Reng looked down at her, a sly glint in his eyes. "Didn't you say you wanted to leave? I've made arrangements. We'll leave tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Yu Yuetong's eyes widened in surprise. "But... but what about the company?"
"I've already arranged for someone to handle the company matters," Qin Reng said nonchalantly. "Don't worry, with me here, everything will be fine."
Looking at the confident man before her, Yu Yuetong suddenly felt a pang of unease. Could he really give up everything just to be with her?
The next morning, Qin Reng took Yu Yuetong and left the Qin family villa, leaving only a short letter to tell the Qin family that they had left and would never come back.
Upon reading the letter, Han Shuang was so enraged she nearly fainted. Pointing her finger at Qin Reng's nose, she cursed, "You unfilial son! You unfilial son! For a woman, you've abandoned your family! How could I have given birth to such a wicked child!"
Old Master Qin sat to one side, his face ashen, saying nothing. Although he disliked Yu Yuetong, he disliked even more that his son had disobeyed him for a woman.
"Dad, say something!" Han Shuang became even angrier when she saw that Old Master Qin didn't speak. "Are you just going to stand by and watch Qin Reng be completely infatuated with that woman?"
Old Master Qin snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Since he has made his choice, let him bear the consequences himself!"
Han Shuang wanted to say something more, but was stopped by a sharp look from Old Master Qin. She knew that Old Master Qin was truly angry, and if she dared to say another word, she would probably be kicked out of the Qin family.
Qin Reng drove Yu Yuetong to the airport, preparing to leave this place of sorrow by private jet.
"Where are we going?" Yu Yuetong asked curiously, looking at the scenery rushing past the window.
“Let’s go somewhere where nobody knows us and start over.” Qin Reng turned to look at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
Yu Yuetong nodded, her heart filled with anticipation. Perhaps, this really is a brand new beginning?
However, none of them noticed that in a corner of the airport, a pair of cold, sinister eyes were watching them, their gazes gleaming with malice...
The private jet soared into the sky, leaving all the hustle and bustle behind. Yu Yuetong gazed out the window; the clouds floated in the azure sky, seemingly within reach. But her heart, like the plane, was suspended in mid-air, unable to find a landing point.
"Regret it?" Qin Reng's voice rang in her ear, tinged with a barely perceptible tension.
Yu Yuetong turned to look at him. The man was looking at her with an almost pleading gaze, as if she were a butterfly about to take flight and he was a flower begging the butterfly to stay.
"No." Yu Yuetong looked away, her tone as calm as if she were discussing the weather. "I was just wondering, where should we go?"
