Chapter 114 He Can’t Help but Care About Qin Chengyu


"By the way, is Qin Chenglu here too?"

"The eldest young master and young lady have gone on a trip recently. They are not at home."

Nian Jin Sui understood immediately. 

They had likely fallen out of favor and were hiding away to avoid the storm.

Butler Wu stayed with Nian Jin Sui through breakfast, and when the meal was over, 

he suggested, 

"Young Master, would you like me to show you around the house?"

"Sure." 

Nian Jin Sui stood up, 

"But before that, your second young master didn’t live in this room, right? Why don’t you take me to see where he used to stay?"

This room was luxurious and connected to both a study and a walk-in closet. 

Qin Chengyu, back then, wouldn’t have stayed in such a grand place.

Butler Wu hesitated but eventually agreed and led Nian Jin Sui out.

Qin Chengyu's previous room was much smaller, located at the corner of the hallway. 

It was dark and cold, even though it was only early September. 

Stepping inside, Nian Jin Sui could immediately feel the chill.

Butler Wu cautiously observed Nian Jin Sui’s expression, afraid he might complain or sympathize with Qin Chengyu, but Nian Jin Sui had already mentally prepared himself. 

His face remained largely unchanged, though a small ache tugged at his heart as he looked around.

Qin Chengyu had always been a child no one had cared for. 

Now that he was here, Nian Jin Sui swore he would never let him go down the tragic path depicted in the novel.

After visiting Qin Chengyu’s old room, Nian Jin Sui’s mood plummeted. 

He lost interest in touring the rest of the house and simply returned to his room to be alone.

"Bored… Qin Chengyu isn’t here, so it’s really dull..." 

Nian Jin Sui muttered, feeling the emptiness of the house. 

Just then, he received a call from Chu Hejun.

"Jin Sui, are you at home? I want to see you," 

Chu Hejun’s voice sounded urgent.

"Did you return to the country? But I’m not home right now," 

Nian Jin Sui replied in surprise.

"Yes, I just got back. Where are you? I’ll come to find you."

Nian Jin Sui thought about it for a moment. 

He had nothing to do and couldn’t leave Qin Chengyu’s house anyway, 

so he might as well have Chu Hejun come over.

"I’m at Qin’s house. Are you coming over?"

"You’re at Qin’s house?" 

Chu Hejun was slightly surprised. 

After a pause, he agreed, 

"Alright, I’ll be over soon."

When Butler Wu heard that someone from the Chu family was coming to visit, 

he was so surprised that he widened his eyes.

"I must have heard wrong. In all my years, I’ve never seen anyone from the Chu family come to visit Qin’s house."

"Yes, Butler Wu, it’s the second young master of the Chu family. He says he’s looking for Young Master Nian. Should we let him in?"

Butler Wu hesitated, unsure of what to do. 

At that moment, Nian Jin Sui received a message from Chu Hejun saying "I’ve arrived." 

He walked downstairs just in time to hear the servants discussing the situation. 

He feigned irritation, 

"Didn’t you say I could do whatever I want in Qin’s house? Now my friend comes to see me, and I’m not even allowed to meet him?"

"But of course, Young Master Nian. We’ll let him in right away," 

Butler Wu apologized, quickly picking up the phone to report to Qin Chengyu.

As soon as Chu Hejun saw Nian Jin Sui, he immediately asked, 

"Jin Sui, how come you’re living in Qin’s house?"

"You must have heard about my engagement with Chengyu… Staying here for a few days is normal, right?" 

Nian Jin Sui replied, only to find himself feeling awkward as he spoke.

Seeing the awkwardness on Nian Jin Sui’s face, Chu Hejun grew angry, 

"Then why are you marrying Qin Chengyu? If I’d known this would happen, I wouldn’t have gone abroad!"

Nian Jin Sui was confused. 

"What does my marriage to Chengyu have to do with you going abroad? By the way, why did you suddenly come back? I thought you’d be gone for a long time. Didn’t expect to see you so soon."

He remembered that Chu Hejun had gone abroad after failing to win Ning Liang'an’s affection, which seemed to match the storyline in the novel.

"My family on my mother’s side has been fighting over the inheritance, so she urged me to come back. It's a bit embarrassing, and it hasn't been made public, so don’t tell anyone. Otherwise, how could I bear to leave you…" 

Chu Hejun said, his voice softening at the end.

Nian Jin Sui was surprised at first by the first part of Chu Hejun’s statement, which explained why he had gone abroad so suddenly. 

But when he heard the last part, his eyes widened.

"You... you said what? You... care about me?"

"Yes." 

Chu Hejun nodded, 

"If I had been around, I would never have let Qin Chengyu take you away."

Nian Jin Sui’s mind buzzed. 

What did Chu Hejun mean by this?

Before he could ask more, a cold voice interrupted, 

"Even if you were here, it wouldn’t matter. Jin Sui will always be mine."

Qin Chengyu strode in and sat down next to Nian Jin Sui, clearly marking his territory.

"Wait..." 

Nian Jin Sui turned to Chu Hejun and cautiously asked, 

"Chu Hejun, are you saying… you like me?"

This time, Chu Hejun was confused. 

"Yes, Jin Sui. Didn’t you know I liked you?"

"Huh? I didn’t know! I thought you liked Ning Liang'an?"

"I never liked Ning Liang'an! I’ve always liked you, Nian Jin Sui! I confessed to you at the concert, don’t you remember?" 

Chu Hejun said, his frustration clear. 

He hadn’t expected Nian Jin Sui to not know he liked him, making his past actions seem like a one-man show.

Nian Jin Sui felt embarrassed. 

"I thought you were confessing to Ning Liang'an…"

He hadn’t expected Chu Hejun to like him, and now the plot had completely taken a turn he hadn’t anticipated.

After a brief silence, Chu Hejun sighed deeply and seriously asked Nian Jin Sui, 

"Jin Sui, I didn’t expect this to turn into such a mess. But forget the past… I just want to ask you, have you already decided to marry Qin Chengyu? Is there really no chance for me?"

Just as Nian Jin Sui was about to speak, he felt a tight grip on his hand. 

Looking up, he saw Qin Chengyu glaring at him, as if to say, 

You can’t go back on your word. 

You can’t leave me now.

Chu Hejun saw this and snapped, 

"Qin Chengyu, so what if you’re the head of the Qin family now? The Chu family isn’t afraid of you! If you have the guts, let Nian Jin Sui decide for himself, don’t force him!"

Qin Chengyu raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Hejun, his expression indifferent, 

"Jin Sui already made his decision. You don’t have a chance."

Back when Qin Chengyu was staying at the Nian family, Chu Hejun had thought he was simply trying to ingratiate himself with the Nian family. 

Now, Chu Hejun realized that Qin Chengyu had been scheming for Nian Jin Sui from the very beginning. 

The man was far too shrewd.

Chu Hejun sneered and then softened his tone, turning to Nian Jin Sui, 

"Jin Sui, don’t mind him. He won’t do anything to you."

Nian Jin Sui thought to himself, 

First, I can't ignore Qin Chengyu. 

And second, there’s nothing Qin Chengyu wouldn't dare to do!
