DTBS – Chapter 12
Chapter 12: In Your Dreams
"Miss Qin," Tao Qiuyun looked at the somewhat distracted Qin Qingshang across from her. "What do you want to say about these two reports? We have plenty of time, we can chat while we eat."
"I didn't react just now," Qin Qingshang took a deep breath and placed the two reports on the table in front of her. She stared at the woman opposite her. "You said earlier that you only just found out we have a daughter together, which means... she wasn't born by you?"
"Of course," Tao Qiuyun picked up her teacup, hiding her smile, and deliberately said, "Wasn't that child born by Miss Qin?"
"I've never been pregnant or given birth!" Qin Qingshang leaned back against the sofa chair. "I wasn't pregnant, and you weren't pregnant, so how did this child come about? CEO Tao wouldn't be so bored as to use fake reports to deceive a small celebrity, would you?"
"Naturally not." Tao Qiuyun put down her teacup and said seriously, "Since we are both confused about the child's origin, it means we are currently on the same side. I have an idea..."
"Hold on to your idea," Qin Qingshang glared at Tao Qiuyun, her face slowly turning red under the woman's gentle gaze. She said angrily, "That night, did you do anything to me?"
Tao Qiuyun was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly. "Miss Qin, it seems you're quite confident in yourself?"
Qin Qingshang was taken aback. Then she saw the woman opposite her relax her posture and continue, "What makes you think I would be attracted to a drunk person? And a female college student at that. Don't worry, I didn't do anything, because I didn't have a single improper thought about your body."
Qin Qingshang pulled the corners of her mouth into a forced smile and said sarcastically, "As fellow women, CEO Tao, you are truly too~ considerate, letting me sleep in clothes reeking of alcohol and with heavy makeup on."
At least help her unhook her bra, it was tight when she woke up the next day.
Tao Qiuyun raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone calm. "Not throwing you onto the street, and even putting you on a hotel bed, I think I've shown enough goodwill."
The girl's cold cheek pressed against her neck, her breath and hair brushing against her collarbone, causing a slight itch. That was the closest she had ever been to someone else, and she still remembered it vividly.
If she hadn't been a good person, she didn't dare imagine what would have happened to a girl who got drunk in a foreign country.
Unwilling to meet those eyes that stirred up inner memories, Tao Qiuyun slightly turned her head. "Regardless of whether we have a child between us or not, this child has indeed appeared now, and there's even an appraisal from an authoritative institution. Even my grandfather was alerted. So... Miss Qin, you should think about what we should do now."
"What else can we do?" Qin Qingshang crossed her arms. "CEO Tao, you wouldn't be unable to afford to raise a little girl, would you?"
"You mean," Tao Qiuyun looked at her, a little surprised, "You want me to raise her myself?"
"What else?" Qin Qingshang felt this question was unnecessary. "CEO Tao, you wouldn't naively think that I would marry you and jointly raise this child of unknown origin just to give her a complete family?"
Tao Qiuyun fell silent. After a few seconds, she nodded, her tone leaving no room for refusal. "Yes, you have to marry me."
"You're dreaming!" Qin Qingshang suddenly stood up, as if provoked. "Why should I sacrifice my life and marry you just because we have some inexplicable child? I have my own ideas, my own plans, my own future. I won't be manipulated! Marry you? Don't even think about it!"
Tao Qiuyun's firm attitude and strong tone stung her. She had only learned last night that she was the female lead held hostage by the plot. Just when she finally discovered the plot could be reversed and she could pursue her own future, some damn CEO appeared, trying to "kidnap" her with a child, and even marry her?
Marry your head!
Although getting married now would also change the plot, why? Because CEO Tao is high and mighty, covering the sky with one hand?
Isn't this just another kind of "arrangement"?
She was still young, and in her life plan for the next few years, marriage was not an option, let alone getting involved with the CEO of Chunjin Group. There's a lot of trouble in wealthy families. Qin Qingshang was a nobody, she couldn't handle that kind of blessing.
Besides, didn't this person like that two-faced Ming Siwen? What a face-obsessed jerk! Shallow! Blind!
For an unclear child, she now wanted to marry her. Who was she trying to disgust?
Completely unaware that she had been thoroughly cursed by Qin Qingshang in her mind, Tao Qiuyun saw her suddenly get angry and didn't react for a moment. But this matter really couldn't be delayed any longer, so she patiently continued, "Miss Qin, if we can't get the marriage certificate tomorrow, the consequences will be very serious."
Qin Qingshang didn't sit down either, crossing her arms and looking down at the woman sitting on the sofa. "Oh? How serious? Is CEO Tao going to blacklist me? Is the CEO of Chunjin that petty?"
"I will kneel down and beg you," Tao Qiuyun said expressionlessly.
"?"
Qin Qingshang blinked, stunned for a moment.
Wait, what did she say?
What followed was even more shocking. The woman sitting opposite her maintained her calm, unruffled expression and continued:
"I will also apply to the government and the environmental protection department. After getting permission, I will use helicopters and airships to scatter petals in the sky to confess to you during the day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and set off fireworks all night to show my love."
"?"
"On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I will go downstairs to your home or to the set where you are filming. If there is a tall building opposite, I will rent the entire building and show you a light show using controlled window lights at night. If there is no building, I will have people arrange heart-shaped candles at the entrance. In short, regardless of these backdrops, I will play the guitar or the violin or even the drums to confess to you."
"...So you rest on Sundays?"
Tao Qiuyun thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Perhaps not. On Sundays, I might occasionally run into you. If you see me pull out a rose at any time, please don't be scared."
Qin Qingshang felt like her toes were curling into a castle. "Are you trying to make me die of embarrassment?"
"Not only will you die of embarrassment, I will also suffer social death," Tao Qiuyun said with a serious expression. "So now you know how serious the consequences will be if we can't get married?"
"Are you sick?!" Qin Qingshang felt she was being played, and with such an unshakeable calm expression. She turned around in anger and walked away.
"Miss Qin!" Seeing her about to leave, Tao Qiuyun immediately stood up, took two steps forward, and reached out to grab her arm. "Miss Qin, I'm serious. If we can't get married, these things will really happen."
Her mother had loved reading romance novels since she was a child, especially those about domineering CEOs, marriage first then love, and chasing wives in the crematorium. The symptoms were so severe that... her father didn't even dare to be a CEO, and even knew she was returning to take over as CEO and flew abroad with his wife overnight to vacation at their manor. That's how wild her mother's imagination was.
She had already chosen the more normal things to say. Who knew what more outrageous behaviors her mother had read about in novels?
"Are you threatening me now?" Qin Qingshang tried to shake off her hand. "CEO Tao, I ask you to respect yourself. Do you know that forcing someone against their will is illegal!"
"Miss Qin, I sincerely invite you to marry me."
"Invite? Then I refuse your invitation, let go of me!"
"Miss Qin, then I request you to marry me."
"I refuse!"
"Miss Qin..."
"Let go!"
During their struggle, Tao Qiuyun didn't control her strength well and pressed the person onto the sofa. And Manager Lian walked in at this moment.
Manager Lian: "..." Oh no!
Holding a flower basket, Manager Lian fell silent when he saw the two people on the sofa.
CEO Tao's posture, was she holding someone in her arms, ready to do something?
Help! You haven't even eaten a bite of food, and it's broad daylight, are you in such a hurry?!
Unexpectedly, CEO Tao was so impatient. He immediately put the flower basket in his hand on a nearby table, reached out to cover his eyes, and said, "Ah, CEO Tao, this is what you wanted. To be honest, I'm actually 800 degrees nearsighted, and my contact lens just fell out. I'll go look for it now, I can't see anything!"
After saying that, he quickly exited the room, closing the door behind him.
After closing the door, he glared fiercely at the two security guards standing by the door. "CEO Tao is busy inside, why didn't you stop me!"
"Manager, you said," the buzz-cut big brother said speechlessly, "The things haven't arrived yet, CEO Tao definitely hasn't started yet."
Manager Lian was very angry. "Next time, no matter what the situation, stop everyone, including me!"
Interrupted by Manager Lian, Tao Qiuyun finally noticed that her posture with Qin Qingshang was a bit ambiguous. She released her hand somewhat awkwardly, straightened up, and said, "Sorry, that was rude, Miss Qin."
"CEO Tao, we are not from the same world. You are so outstanding, there must be many people who want to be a mother or father to your child." Qin Qingshang stood up and smoothed her long hair, which was a little messy from the movement. "There's really no need to insist on me. Can you please let me go?"
"Miss Qin," Tao Qiuyun rubbed her temples, a headache coming on. "I've made it very clear, it can only be you and me getting married, otherwise..."
"Are these mints? I thought only barbecue or hot pot restaurants provided them." Qin Qingshang didn't want to continue the awkwardness and simply changed the subject. She walked towards the counter by the door. "CEO Tao, do you want some?"
When she got closer and reached out to touch the colorful packaging, Qin Qingshang realized that these were not mints at all!
Recognizing what they were, the woman's face flushed red. As if electrocuted, she let go and turned to glare at Tao Qiuyun. "CEO Tao even ordered these things?"
Manager Lian's flower basket had exquisite packaging, and the square packets inside were also arranged decoratively. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice them at all.
Tao Qiuyun just glanced at them, still mistakenly thinking they were disposable gloves. She nodded and said, "Yes, because I'll be using them later, so I asked for some, but..."
There were actually some on the table already.
She didn't finish her sentence, but Qin Qingshang was already fuming.
Damn it! The supposed politeness was a facade, a gentle beast was the true nature. She even wanted to sleep with her and spoke so righteously about it.
None of the big shots in this circle were good people!
"CEO Tao," Qin Qingshang interrupted her, then grabbed a handful of the light, small packets from the basket and threw them at the woman opposite her. "Lunatic! Pervert! Go play with your condoms yourself!"
After saying that, she immediately turned around, grabbed the doorknob, and left dramatically.
"Miss Qin!" Tao Qiuyun rushed forward.
The two security guards standing outside the door were stunned for a moment when they saw a beautiful woman come out.
So fast? Was it CEO Tao who couldn't, or was it her?
Before they could finish lamenting, they saw Tao Qiuyun rush out right after, grab the woman's wrist, and while the other person was struggling violently and cursing "pervert," CEO Tao's expression didn't change. She maintained that calm and indifferent look, and with her other hand, she grabbed the woman's slender waist and dragged her back inside.
"Bang—" The door was closed again.
"Click—" This time there was the sound of the lock engaging.
The buzz-cut big brother and the short-haired little brother exchanged glances, both looking utterly shocked. They both read the same thought in each other's eyes:
So we were also part of their game?!
Damn! As expected of rich people! They play games that normal people wouldn't dare imagine!
