Chapter 16: Are You Jealous?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wind Chen looked back at the mesmerizing Lola Chinn. His instinct told him that Lola Chinn might be interested in him.
However, Wind Chen didn’t think anything was possible between himself and Lola Chinn.
“Actually, I’m already married, and I have a wife named Queena Ye. Also, I’m ‘married’ into the Ye family,” said Wind Chen very solemnly.
Lola Chinn’s heart trembled, and her face began to pale. Her heart started to feel somewhat empty, as if something important was about to go away forever.
This feeling made Lola Chinn feel terrified.
But almost immediately after that, Lola Chinn seemed to suddenly remember something, and her eyes widened. “Who did you say your wife was? She’s from one of the five families? That Queena Ye from the Ye family?”
“That’s right. Why?”
“I’ve heard of you before.” Lola Chinn’s eyes grew brighter. “Rumor has it that since you married Queena Ye, the two of you have never even slept in the same room, right? And the Ye family doesn’t treat you well, right?”
“Ugh, yeah, that’s about right.”
Wind Chen laughed hollowly.
When he married Queena Ye two years ago to become part of her family, almost everyone in the upper echelons of Chanyang’s society knew about it, and it was the talk of the town.
Based on their assets alone, the Ye family ranked third in the city out of the top five families, and they were no less well-off compared to the Chinns. Anything that happened in the Ye family could become an investment opportunity, so their slightest movement attracted attention.
When Lola Chinn saw that Wind Chen had confirmed that these things were true, the disappointment in her heart disappeared instantly.
“Teehee, you must have had enough of the Ye family, no? Leave the Ye family, and I’ll marry you.”
Lola Chinn was joking, but her face was serious at the same time.
“Are you serious about marrying me? Why don’t we book ourselves a hotel room tonight first?”
Wind Chen winked at her.
Lola Chinn was stunned for a moment before her face blushed slightly. She whacked Wind Chen lightly with her tiny fists and said shyly, “You naughty boy. Don’t spout nonsense like that.”
“I’m not spouting nonsense. It’s only right for me to let you see if I’m suitable for you or not.” Wind Chen laughed cheekily.
“Oh, gosh, you’re so annoying!”
Lola Chinn’s face was bright crimson, and she didn’t even dare to look Wind Chen in the eye.
Wind Chen couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright now, I’ll stop joking with you. I do need to get a hotel room tonight to sleep in.”
“Why aren’t you going home?” asked Lola Chinn out of curiosity.
“I came out after an argument with the Ye family, and…ah…well, I slapped Queena’s mother. Do you think I can still go home after that?”
“What?” Lola Chinn stared at him in shock and couldn’t wrap her head around what he just said.
“What? Go back and accompany your grandmother! Bye!”
Wind Chen waved his hand.
“Grandma is fine now, so I’ll go with you to get a room.” Lola Chinn ran over and caught up with Wind Chen, then reached out to hook his arm.
Wind Chen stopped walking. “You sure you want to go with me to a hotel?”
“What are you thinking about? I…I mean, I’m going to send you to the hotel, then come back to accompany Grandma,” said Lola Chinn, her cheeks blushing.
“What am I going to do if someone sees us and misunderstands? This could ruin your reputation. Listen to me and go back to the hospital.”
“I don’t want to.” Lola Chinn shook her head.
Just when Wind Chen was about to persuade Lola Chinn again, a glaring light suddenly shone on Wind Chen and Lola Chinn’s faces.
Wind Chen looked up to see a familiar car parked in front of him.
That was Queena Ye’s car!
Queena Ye got out of the car. She was tall, and her long hair swayed prettily in the wind as she walked over in her heels with a smile. She looked like a queen coming towards them.
Wind Chen was stunned.
So was Lola Chinn!
Queena Ye came to both of them in no time.
“Hubby, still not going home yet?”
Queena Ye’s voice was exceptionally gentle, so gentle that Wind Chen began to have a bad feeling about this.
Her gaze seemed to have fallen on the hand that Lola Chinn had around Wind Chen’s arm.
Lola Chinn calmly took her hand away and smiled at Queena Ye. “My name is Lola Chinn. Nice to meet you.”
“Queena Ye.”
Queena Ye stretched her hand out and shook Lola Chinn’s.
This seemingly calm and peaceful scene was clearly overshadowed by dark clouds above. The hostility in the way the two women looked at each other was very apparent.
“Queena, why are you here?” asked Wind Chen.
“Can’t I come and pick you up?” Queena Ye took a step forward to hook Wind Chen’s arm as she said with a smile, “You always call me Wifey. Why are you suddenly calling me Queena now?”
“Stop it,” said Wind Chen with a sad smile. “We’re going to get a divorce tomorrow, so it’s not appropriate to call you Wifey anymore.”
“Who says we’re getting a divorce? I won’t agree to a divorce, and you can forget about ever divorcing me in your lifetime.”
Queena Ye almost lost control of her emotions all of a sudden.
“Ms. Ye, I’m sure you know what sort of life Wind has been leading in your house. If you aren’t able to treat him well, then please let go of him. There are others who are more than willing to love and care for him,” said Lola Chinn with a faint smile.
“Miss Chinn, Wind and I are legally married to each another. If we have any disagreements, we will settle it behind closed doors, so you don’t have to worry,” said Queena Ye.
“Indeed, both of you are legally married, but if I’m not wrong, Wind has never even walked into your room before after getting married, right? Are you sure that’s not some form of torture?” Lola Chinn remained confident.
“What has that got to do with you?”
“Everything.” Lola Chinn then said very sternly, “I suspect that you don’t understand Wind as much as I do, despite knowing him for such a short time. I’ll just say it then. I, Lola Chinn, like Wind. It’s as simple as that. If you refuse to be good to him, then let go of him. Wind, no matter what happens, I’ll continue to wait for you.”
With that, Lola Chinn spun around and walked back into the hospital.
Wind Chen suddenly felt like his head was about to burst. He didn’t really know whether Lola Chinn was telling the truth or if she was just joking anymore.
This was only his third time meeting Lola Chinn after all.
After Queena Ye saw that Lola Chinn had left, she pinched Wind Chen’s arm hard, and her face was covered with frost.
“Look, Lola Chinn was just making things up. This is only my third time seeing her, so there’s no way she can talk about liking anybody,” said Wind Chen with a wry smile.
“Oh, it’s your THIRD time seeing her already. Don’t you think Lola Chinn is very pretty?”
“She’s alright, I guess. But that’s not the point now. The point is that I don’t have any…”
“Enough, Wind. I don’t want to listen to you explain anything. From today onwards, you are not to see this woman again.” Queena Ye glared fiercely at Wind Chen, and she was so angry that she ground her teeth.
“Are you jealous?” Wind Chen was shocked.
“I’m not jealous.”
“Of course, you’re not jealous. You’re Queena.”
“Tsk.” Queena Ye was amused. “What a lousy joke. Let’s go home.”
“I’m not going home.” Wind Chen shook his head. “I gave your mum a slap, and I shouted at your dad as well. I don’t want to go home just to get scolded by them.”
“There are many aspects that Mum and Dad have not done right, and I really hate some of the things that they say too. But no matter what, they’re still our elders. They’ll be fine once you go back and apologize.”
“No, I’m not apologizing. Why should I apologize?” Wind Chen shook his head again.
“Do it for me?” Queena Ye looked straight at Wind Chen. “Can we give each other a chance?”
“Of course.”
Wind Chen nodded immediately without hesitation.
In fact, he was secretly gleeful. He was so happy that Queena Ye had finally started to care about him!
“Let’s go home.”
Queena Ye dragged Wind Chen into the car.
Inside the car, Queena Ye drove very slowly as she kept her eyes in front and asked very casually, “Why didn’t I ever know that you knew martial arts and that you even have medical expertise?”
“You’ve never asked me before,” replied Wind Chen casually.
“I…”
Queena Ye bit her lip.
He was right. She had never been bothered or cared about him.
She would just go to work, go home when she was tired, then order Wind Chen around like a servant. After she was done ordering him around, she would go to her own room to sleep. She had never tried to understand him.
After thinking about everything she had done, she suddenly felt some regret.
