Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Love, It's Really Magical
"Cough cough... Find a seat, I'll get you some water,"
Song Yun, noticing the atmosphere turning awkward, quickly turned and walked toward the kitchen.
"Brother Song Yun, I thought guys' rooms would be dirty and messy, but yours is surprisingly tidy~"
Ye Qingqing said as she sat on the sofa, looking around.
The apartment Song Yun rented was not large, just a one-bedroom with a living room, kitchen, and bathroom that altogether came up to less than fifty square meters, even smaller than Ye Qingqing's bedroom. But this place, where Brother Song Yun lived, had to be more perfect than any luxury mansion!
"I live here by myself usually, and messy stuff just annoys me."
Song Yun handed a bottle of ice water to Ye Qingqing with a smile.
"Did someone clean it for you?" Ye Qingqing gave Song Yun a look, then poutingly said, "From now on, this is the old lady's territory! No other female creatures allowed in!"
"Hehe, what about pets?"
Song Yun was in the mood to tease the other person.
"Not even pets!" Ye Qingqing took a sip of water, then spat it out immediately, her cheeks reddening, "I mean... These days, I should avoid cold things."
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Although Song Yun had never experienced intimate relations between men and women, he was very clear about a girl's monthly period. He stopped in time just now, thankful that he didn't cross the line...
He switched to a bottle of room-temperature water and sat next to Ye Qingqing, curiously asking, "Speaking of which, we've been married until now, but I still don't know what your family's situation is like. Can you tell me?"
Ye Qingqing looked at Song Yun seriously, thinking that he really hadn't recognized her. Humph! She wondered how he'd face her when she revealed the truth!
Song Yun felt uncomfortable under her gaze, suspecting that Ye Qingqing might be a bit angry. It made sense, after all. There was no proposal, no parental blessings, and not even a proper wedding. They simply got the marriage certificate in a confused rush, which would make anyone feel chilly.
"Let me tell you, my mother is fine, a rather kind person, but my father, he's very strict..."
"How strict?"
"Well... it's hard to say, just very difficult to get along with. After all, he's the wealthiest man in Magic Capital, and his value is just too high. It's becoming harder to guess what he's thinking now."
Hearing this, Song Yun broke out in a cold sweat.
He had thought that Ye Qingqing's family might have an asset of ten billion or so, but it turned out she was the daughter of the wealthiest man.
The wealthiest person in Magic Capital must be worth a hundred billion, right?
Although he was not worried about his own living expenses, compared to a top magnate, his assets were probably not even worth mentioning.
"Cough cough... Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
Ye Qingqing blankly looked at Song Yun and shook her head.
"So you're an only child?"
"Yeah, my dad said having me was enough for this lifetime~"
"..."
Ye Qingqing noticed Song Yun's expression becoming stranger and stranger, but couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"That... Let's get one thing straight, I'm on my own, and I'm not being a stay-at-home son-in-law..."
Listening to Song Yun's mumble, Ye Qingqing snorted with laughter, leaning on his shoulder and saying, "Dummy, who's going to be a stay-at-home son-in-law, you're not allowed either!"
"Hehe"
Song Yun casually put his arm around Ye Qingqing's shoulder and asked curiously, "Your dad... I mean, our dad, since he's the wealthiest man in Magic Capital, your family must have been prosperous for quite a few generations, right?"
After hearing what Song Yun said, Ye Qingqing thought carefully and nodded, "We used to be quite wealthy, but then went bankrupt for some reasons. When I was very young, it was because my father seized an opportunity that we were able to restore our family's honor."
"Oh? I wonder what opportunity your father-in-law grabbed to become the richest man."
Song Yun wondered if his father-in-law might also have a system.
"They demolished our ancestral home, and dad got quite a lot of money. Then he just kept investing in setting up factories and companies, eventually getting to the scale we have today."
"..."
The second generation of demolition tycoons, untouchable and untouchable, it seems there's some truth to the saying about the richness of the third generation of demolition.
"Then, when I find time, I'll pay a visit to my future father-in-law. No matter how much he gives me a hard time, I will not utter a word of complaint. I want to let him know that I am serious about you."
Song Yun's sudden sweet talk made Ye Qingqing's face flush.
She lifted her head and pecked Song Yun's lips lightly.
The two of them stayed in this amorous atmosphere for over two hours, and Song Yun felt that if they continued like this, he'd definitely fail to remain a contemporary paragon of virtue!
"It's getting late, let me take you home..."
Song Yun turned away, bending over to stand up.
"Okay... well, let's look forward to the next time we meet..."
Ye Qingqing reluctantly said.
"Anything is fine..."
The awkwardness Song Yun now felt was something every man understands. He silently recited the Great Compassion Mantra and took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress it.
"Let's go, let's go!"
The two drove away.
The aunties sunbathing downstairs huddled together and pointed at the exhaust of the sports car.
"Looks like Little Song's got stamina, it's been nearly three hours!"
"Ah, after all, he's young, indulging is normal."
"These two seem more and more like a good match..."
After sending Ye Qingqing home, Song Yun parked the car in the underground parking lot of a nearby large supermarket. He didn't dare leave a car worth tens of millions in the neighborhood; it would be bad if some reckless kid didn't know better and scratched it up.
Lying on the bed, Song Yun stared at the ceiling.
Ever since he got the system, life had been unabatedly smooth sailing, and the more he lived, the more comfortable he felt. But what if he had never received the system? Or if he had compromised that day in front of the civil affairs bureau?
He dare not think about it...
Song Yun cherished the present even more.
The next day.
Ye Qingqing went to Li Shishi's house, entered the bedroom, and pulled back the heavy curtains.
Bright sunlight streamed in, and Li Shishi opened her sleep-filled eyes and sat up. She adjusted her slipping shoulder strap and complained, "What time is it? I was up late last night watching dramas... Baby, let me sleep a little longer..."
"Yesterday, Brother Song Yun and I, you know, did that thing!"
Ye Qingqing excitedly jumped onto the bed and gestured to Li Shishi with excitement.
"Huh???"
Li Shishi, just woken up and her brain still booting, was confused for a moment, her eyes widening and mouth hanging open, looking utterly dazed.
"Not so fast, you've only known each other for a few days! Even if Song Yun is handsome! And well-educated! You wouldn't progress that fast, would you!"
"Hehe, just... couldn't help it..."
"You silly girl!"
Li Shishi tapped Ye Qingqing on the forehead firmly.
She eyed Qingqing's thighs and gasped, "You did that yesterday... how can you even get out of bed today? They say the first time is supposed to be really painful..."
Ye Qingqing, face covered in black lines, pushed Li Shishi away and said with embarrassed anger, "What are you thinking! I meant, yesterday Brother Song Yun and I kissed~ Hehe."
"Just a..." Li Shishi waved her hand dismissively, instantly sobering up: "Wait! Your first kiss? You just gave it away like that?"
Li Shishi's brain couldn't keep up with Ye Qingqing anymore. She was now utterly confounded by the magic of love.
