Chapter 639 The Second Requirement

Chen Qing laughed heartily.

He Yuan, however, couldn't feel happy at all.

After a three- to five-year hiatus, He Yuan simply didn't have the absolute confidence to guarantee that Chen Qing would only love him.

Regardless of her appearance.

Chen Qing is a powerful woman, so a group of followers will automatically be selected around her.

This applies to both career and relationships.

He knew Chen Qing's personality well. In matters of the heart, she was the kind of person who could decisively cut off someone's feelings if she didn't like them. So far, he had no rivals in love and no unease whatsoever.

But he disappeared for three to five years!

He Yuan couldn't even imagine what kind of rivals would emerge in love!

Chen Qing comforted her, "Okay, okay, don't think too much about it. I've already said I'll let you know if I like someone else in the future, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"Can't you just not like other people?"

He Yuan was so frustrated he was about to explode.

Chen Qing shook his head: "Who knows about the future? Actually, you might fall for someone else. Think about it, in a field you're not good at, you meet a highly educated woman who answers your questions. In your closed-off world, she's so wonderful, you're bound to be moved. Once you're moved, it's easy for you to pursue her. She definitely won't care about your marital status. To win the heart of such an outstanding woman, you'll definitely have to divorce me."

"What are you thinking? If I dared to date in that kind of environment, the organization would deal with me first. When everyone is so busy that they don't even have time to breathe, and going to the toilet might require reporting, every minute and every second we spend is burning through huge amounts of RMB. If I were a normal person, I would never choose to betray my family to date in that situation. So, whether it's the internal or external environment, I would never cheat."

He Yuan became somewhat smug as he spoke.

Chen Qing picked up his water glass and drank.

She was truly impressed.

Why bother refuting it so logically and with such evidence?

It made her seem like a terrible sinner.

She didn't cheat on me.

"Okay, okay, you won't, I know, and I believe you're too good for that."

He Yuan: "Exaggerated! Hypocritical!"

Chen Qing glared at him: "You don't even want to listen when I praise you."

He Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Do you remember before we started dating, you promised to fulfill three conditions of mine, except for arson, murder, and robbery? I only asked you to help me check my watch once before, and that time you misunderstood that I had fallen for someone else, remember?"

Chen Qing dredged up some old memories from his pile of recollections: "It seems like there was such a thing."

He Yuan became happy: "So I'm going to use my second condition!"

Chen Qingzhen admired him.

People with good memories are truly terrifying.

So even old things can be dug up and used as conditions.

"Then tell me your second condition?"

He Yuanle: "You can't cheat on me."

Chen Qing was both amused and exasperated.

He Yuan urged, "Promise me."

Chen Qing resisted: "I don't really want to right now."

"You don't mean what you say!"

"unless……"

"Unless what?"

"Unless you start working diligently."

Chen Qing thought it over and over. He had been away from home for so many years, and it wasn't a good thing to always miss him. It would easily lead to physical and mental exhaustion.

She didn't seem to have any demands on him.

Perhaps it's because He Yuan usually fulfills all her needs.

He Yuan was stunned: "Why don't you state your requirements?"

"I've already said all I can ask. Besides working diligently, try to get enough sleep and don't ruin your health." Chen Qing's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke: "Let's not talk about this anymore, it's not that time yet."

She drank water rapidly.

Try to suppress your sadness.

He Yuan sighed softly, gently patted her hair, his eyes filled with guilt: "I'm sorry."

If it weren't for the country standing in front of her, He Yuan wouldn't have chosen that path.

Chen Qing: "Go eat."

He Yuan obediently ate his meal. Chen Qing also lowered his head and ate his meal.

She had actually thought about it. He Yuan was so strict with her, so if she said she wanted a divorce, the organization definitely wouldn't agree.

As a responsible adult, Chen Qing was unwilling to ruin my career and life by having an affair for a moment of pleasure.

Therefore, whether out of love or rational analysis, the two will maintain their marital relationship during the years when they are destined to be separated.

After finishing their meal, He Yuan asked about a nearby park, and he and Chen Qing sat on a park bench, gazing at the calm lake in a daze.

Chen Qing nudged him: "Can I send things from there?"

He Yuan: "As far as I know, no."

Chen Qing: "Can we write letters?"

He Yuan: "It seems like that's not possible either."

Seeing Chen Qing's grim expression, He Yuan quickly said, "I will try my best."

Chen Qing glared at him: "Then work hard to make money and appease my anger."

He Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, ma'am."

Chen Qing got up and picked up a few pebbles, asking him, "Can you skip stones?"

"Won't……"

He Yuan had never played it.

Chen Qing boasted, "I can!"

She reminded He Yuan, "Watch closely."

Boom, boom——

A pebble fell into the lake.

He Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Qing blushed and explained, "I'm out of practice; this isn't my true skill."

"Okay, try again."

They came again and again.

Chen Qing never skipped stones more than three times.

She said to He Yuan, "We're all grown up now, let's not play this game anymore, it's childish."

Boom, boom, boom...

A seven or eight-year-old child, who threw pebbles more skillfully than Chen Qingyuan, suppressed his desire to show off and merely glanced at Chen Qingyuan sideways.

Chen Qing: This kid is amazing!

"Let's go, let's go." That's too embarrassing.

"I'll play for a while."

He Yuan also went to pick up pebbles and skip them on the water.

Chen Qing hoped he would prove him wrong.

In reality, they both embarrassed themselves!

The two left in a disheveled state, and He Yuan said in bewilderment, "I've calculated it, it shouldn't be like this."

Chen Qing didn't understand what was there to calculate: "It might be a problem with the stones."

"Pebble..."

"If you try to explain again, I won't give you a way out," Chen Qing warned.

He Yuan shut up.

The two turned their heads and smiled knowingly.

After leaving the small park, the couple walked slowly along the path. At the corner, an inconspicuous yet uniquely elegant beige building came into view.

Its exterior stands out from the surrounding drab buildings, with a wide facade, bright glass windows, and a sign in both Chinese and English on the door: Friendship Store.

After seeing this, He Yuan asked her, "Would you like some drinks?"

"No need, it's too much trouble to carry it. Oh wait, you're here! Let's go see what good drinks they have." Chen Qing happily stepped into the Friendship Store.

He Yuan looked at her with affection and followed her steps.

To be honest, this was Chen Qing's first time visiting the Friendship Store. After browsing around for a bit, Chen Qing whispered to He Yuan, "How much money did you bring?"

He Yuan: "Thirty-something."

Chen Qing wasn't surprised; this money was still from her to He Yuan: "Then we can only buy drinks."
