CHAPTER 507: 505, THE NEWLYWEDS ARE NOT DOING TOO WELL

"No!" Qin Rubing refused.

"But..." Qin Haiyang started to say.

But Qin Rubing interrupted him. "Dad, have you ever considered my feelings? I know what you want to say. You want to ask my boyfriend to help her, right? But why should he?"

After Qin Rubing finished speaking, she chuckled lightly.

"Because she’s my stepmother?" Qin Rubing continued. "Dad, search your conscience. Has she ever treated me well?"

Qin Haiyang fell silent.

"There’s one thing I remember very clearly. When I first started elementary school, on the first day, you were busy with work and had to go to the office. You asked her to take me to school to enroll, but she didn’t take me at all. When I asked her why, she pushed me to the ground and even called me an orphan."

Qin Rubing spoke in a calm tone.

But Luofeng’s heart ached hearing this. He silently held Qin Rubing a bit tighter, taking her hand, their fingers interlocked.

At this moment, Qin Rubing also felt how good it was to have a man by her side.

"In ninth grade, our class had a graduation party," Qin Rubing said. "I asked you for fifty yuan because I wanted to go, but after listening to her, you said kids don’t need parties. I could only tell my classmates I had a high fever and couldn’t attend!

"Later that evening, you both had me go out to buy soy sauce and vinegar. When I went out, I ran into my classmates, and they asked me if I wasn’t supposed to be running a high fever."

Qin Rubing chuckled coldly.

What kind of mess is this? Luofeng sighed inwardly. But then again, she’s a stepmother, right? It’s actually not hard to understand. Cases where they treat the child as their own are rare, aren’t they?

"Dad, if Third Aunt hadn’t helped me all these years, do you think I could have made it?" Qin Rubing continued. "Sometimes I even thought about those older bosses from outside school who fancied me. I could have just given in to them and lived a good life, but..."

At this point, Qin Rubing’s hand was still trembling slightly. Luofeng felt it too and held her hand tightly.

Indeed, if Qin Rubing had really done that, Luofeng wouldn’t have looked down on her; instead, he would have understood her completely. But Qin Rubing hadn’t done so. She had persevered, which made her even more commendable.

"So, by what right are you asking me to help her?" Qin Rubing pressed on. "If you want me to help her, it’s simple. Just tell me one good thing she’s ever done for me, and I’ll definitely agree!"

"She..." Qin Haiyang opened his mouth. It wasn’t that he didn’t know these things; he had chosen to let Qin Rubing suffer for the sake of family harmony.

"Heh, can’t you name even one thing?" Qin Rubing scoffed. "Not even something like buying me a small cake worth a few yuan for my birthday?"

Qin Haiyang remained silent.

"Dad, if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up," Qin Rubing said, no longer wanting to say more.

"I’m sorry," Qin Haiyang apologized.

Qin Rubing didn’t respond. She hung up the phone.

After she hung up, Luofeng sighed and said, "Rubing, things will get better for us from now on!"

Qin Rubing threw herself into Luofeng’s arms and sobbed loudly. She had truly endured enough grievances.

Luofeng gently patted her back.

A few minutes later, Qin Rubing composed herself a little and said shyly, "Did I look awful just now?"

"Not at all," Luofeng said earnestly. "What you did just now only makes me treasure you more!"

"Hmph!" Qin Rubing pouted playfully. "Sweet talker!"

"I mean it!" Luofeng stated affirmatively. "Perhaps I can’t give you my whole heart completely, but I promise I’ll treat you well!"

Qin Rubing didn’t answer. Her right hand rested on Luofeng’s chest, tracing the lingering wetness from her tears. "Aren’t you getting up? I’m going to take a shower."

"Alright!"

Luofeng got up, lifted Qin Rubing into his arms, and carried her to the main bathroom.

Attention. The professional-level performance was now underway.

This time, Qin Rubing also knew how highly skilled Luofeng was.

Although she was a bit lighter than Duanmu Yunji, overall, the difference wasn’t significant. Yet Luofeng handled it with great skill.

But Qin Rubing was no match for Duanmu Yunji, that koala.

Brother Feng, with his double talent, was indeed Awesome. It was definitely something ninety-nine percent of people couldn’t achieve.

Around nine o’clock in the morning, Luofeng carried Qin Rubing to the master bedroom, and they continued to rest.

"Did you and Yunji do this too?" Qin Rubing asked curiously, cuddling in Luofeng’s arms.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, what do you think?" Luofeng countered.

"Definitely!" Qin Rubing replied instantly; Luofeng was far too skilled. And his stamina is unbelievable. She weighed over 50 kilograms, after all, right?

"HAHAHA! She’s a seasoned koala; you’re a long way off!" Luofeng teased.

Qin Rubing rolled her eyes but said nothing.

"Rubing, hand me my phone!" Luofeng called out.

Qin Rubing turned over, retrieved Luofeng’s phone, and settled back against his chest.

After Luofeng took the phone, he immediately started sending messages using his security company’s communication software.

"Shen Suansi, check into Fang Yuanyuan, an associate of Qin Rubing. I need her hotel check-in records, the times those records were created, and any related individuals!"

"Received!"

Assigning such a minor task to Shen Suansi was truly an underutilization of his talents. But when it concerned Qin Rubing, Luofeng didn’t consider it a waste of resources.

"Number One, what’s the progress on our collaboration with the NSIB?"

Luofeng had previously collaborated with the NSIB on a project, but the NSIB hadn’t contacted him since. Could it be that the collaboration isn’t completed yet?

"It’s ongoing. This batch of cocaine has revealed more complications. The other party discovered an apparent loophole at the border, so they haven’t moved to wrap things up yet!"

Luofeng asked, "Have we secured our goods?"

"Of course!"

"Then proceed as planned. With Brother Tang’s investment company’s cooperation, we’ll aim to secure at least 50% of the market share for small and medium-sized loans in Bangkok!"

"Understood!"

According to Luofeng’s plan, these small loans shouldn’t be underestimated. They could be used to further increase their influence in Bangkok.

This project also promised substantial profits and was a sustainable long-term business. The annual profits could even exceed ten billion.

Around ten-thirty in the morning, Qin Rubing and Luofeng got out of bed.

"Rubing, what should we eat for lunch?" Luofeng asked.

But Qin Rubing seemed to recall something and shook her head. "Let’s save it for tonight, okay? Lunch... doesn’t sound appealing right now."
