"No," Cheng Qingchong said practically the moment Qin Yinan finished his sentence. Realizing she might have reacted too harshly, she smiled apologetically at Qin Yinan, adding, "I mean, I don't want to trouble them too much. Furthermore, the food provided at the office is not bad, so I'll just have my meals there."
"Okay." Qin Yinan smiled kindly back at her before closing the door.
Just as the door was about to close, Cheng Qingchong suddenly called out, "Qin Yinan."
"Hmm?" Qin Yinan pushed the door open a sliver.
"That…" Cheng Qingchong's lips moved, but under Qin Yinan's gentle gaze, the words that reached her lips gradually tumbled back her throat. She smiled at him and said instead, "Thank you, good night."
Qin Yinan laughed good-humouredly before closing the door again. As the door clicked into place, Cheng Qingchong staggered a few steps back before falling on her bedside. She had come so close to blurting out her secret and confessing all of her lies.
