Chapter 158 Suppressing Personality

Qin Yan: "Ms. Su, I have grasped this information. Thank you. I will transfer the due fees to you as soon as possible."

Su Jing: "You don't need to be in such a hurry, I don't charge you."

Qin Yan: "Thank you, but I don't need it anymore." He refused very quickly.

Su Jing left feeling somewhat unwilling and dejected, only to run into Qiao Xiao, who had just returned home, as soon as she stepped outside.

Qiao Xiao: "Miss Su, it's so late for you to come and teach. I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Su Jing blushed and said, "It's okay. Qin Yan is very talented. I didn't teach him anything."

Qiao Xiao: "There are some things he doesn't know, so I'd appreciate your guidance."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Su Jing left.

Even though Qin Yan had a job, she still did housework, which made Qiao Xiao feel uneasy and less forceful, which made Qin Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

However, a few days later, Qiao Xiao started to deliberately create conflict between the two of them.

Qiao Xiao was invited to a rather important party. She wore a bright red dress with a tight cut, a graceful figure, a slender waist, and legs that were partially revealed. She exuded an irresistible sexiness and allure.

When she stumbled out for some fresh air, she "accidentally" bumped into the arms of a man dressed in expensive clothes.

The man was tall and looked rather unwell. His first thought was that he had encountered one of those scheming women who tried to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, deliberately trying to get his attention by snuggling into his arms. He instinctively wanted to push the woman away.

However, just as he was about to take action, his eyes inadvertently met Qiao Xiao's.

In that instant, he was instantly attracted by her unique charm.

Qiao Xiao tilted her head slightly, her eyes hazy and dreamy, her luscious red lips parted slightly, and her breath was as sweet as orchids and musk.

"Madam! Madam! Are you alright? May I ask where you live? I'll take you home." The man's voice unconsciously softened.

Hearing the man's question, Qiao Xiao was secretly delighted, but on the surface she still pretended to be confused and said in a sweet voice, "Um... I live at..." Then she slowly gave her address.

On the other side, Qin Yan was anxiously dialing Qiao Xiao's number. Again and again, but there was still no response. Qiao Xiao's phone had already run out of battery and automatically shut down.

Qin Yan was extremely worried, so he quickly put on his coat and rushed out the door.

Just then, the mysterious man arrived at their neighborhood in his luxury car.

Qin Yan saw a luxury car drive into the building and was puzzled. After the car stopped, he was surprised to see Qiao Xiao get out of it.

Qiao Xiao linked arms with the strange man, pretending to be drunk as she leaned against him.

Qin Yan's eyes turned cold. He clenched his fists and strode forward. "I'm fine here. Thank you for bringing her back."

Qin Yan's voice has basically recovered; it is deep and magnetic, making people feel incredibly at ease.

Upon his arrival, the man quickly pulled Qiao Xiao back a few steps and demanded, "Who are you?"

He looked Qin Yan up and down. Qin Yan was wearing a loose white T-shirt, which couldn't hide his broad shoulders. He paired it with black casual pants, which made his long legs look slender.

The man's imposing manner was immediately overwhelmed, and he stood frozen in place.

Qin Yan was speechless at his words, "We are..."

At this moment, Qiao Xiao, who was still half asleep, suddenly perked up and said, "This is my roommate."

"Why can't I get through to you on the phone?" Qin Yan asked, her voice quick.

Qiao Xiao: "My head hurts so much." After saying that, she held her forehead and staggered forward a step.

The man said with a hint of hostility, "Isn't it inappropriate for a girl like you to be alone in a room with a man?"

Qiao Xiao: "Thank you for bringing me back, sir. But this is not your business. Here is my phone number. Remember to call me. I will definitely thank you properly."

After saying that, she began to break free from the man and walked into the building on her own.

Qin Yan could only follow silently behind her. Under the lights of the corridor, it was as if he had entered a dreamlike memory. Her figure was graceful and beautiful, a beauty that one could never tire of even after admiring countless flowers.

They entered the room, and Qiao Xiao suddenly collapsed onto the sofa, mumbling, "Qin Yan?"

Qin Yan: "Yes."

Qiao Xiao: "If I marry that man, will he have enough money to support both of us?"

Qin Yan: "!" He felt as if he had been struck by an invisible sorrow, a pain that penetrated to the bone marrow, and he stood frozen on the spot, unable to move.

Qin Yan: "I'm so useless!"

Qin Yan said provocatively, "You know that too?"

He glanced down at Qiao Xiao, who was passed out drunk on the sofa, and said coldly, "Look, any man with a little money can bewitch her."

Qin Yan: "She was just drunk."

Qin Yan: "I think you're the one who's drunk, Qin Yan."

Qin Yan: "You have memories, hurry back."

Qin Yan: "So, you want me to take control of this body?"

Qin Yan hesitated for a moment, then Qin Yan said, "Look at her. It's all because of your incompetence that she's been so exhausted. You can't even survive, so don't even think about getting rid of me."

Qin Yan retorted, "I do."

Qin Yan: "But that's not enough. The damage you've caused far outweighs the value you've brought."

Qin Yan replied dejectedly, "No need to say anything, I know everything."

Then, there was no sound.

In this argument, Qin Yan was able to suppress his other personality in such a short time, which was something he himself had never expected.

Qin Yan looked at the drunk girl and slowly approached her. He gazed at her, his figure somewhat dejected. Then he knelt down on one knee, took off her shoes, and covered her with the blanket.

He didn't know what kind of person he used to be, nor did he remember how his second personality came about. But he had to pull himself together and use any means necessary to recover his memories; he couldn't afford to stay still.

"Thank you for taking me in all this time, Qiao Xiao. I'll have to leave soon, but don't worry, I'll come back to repay you."

Looking at her rosy, peaceful face, he felt an indescribable sense of frustration and guilt. Simply looking at her every day would lift his spirits. He had truly begun to depend on Qiao Xiao, but he himself was a dangerous factor, and leaving was the best option.

The next day, Qiao Xiao woke up feeling dizzy and groggy. She looked around but there was no one there.

Qiao Xiao: "Did he leave?"

Just then, a voice came from the other side of the door; it was Qin Yan returning from grocery shopping.

Qiao Xiao: "How did I get back yesterday?"

Qin Yan took off his mask and black hat. "I was brought back by someone."

Qiao Xiao: "Where is that person? Do you have his phone number?"

Qin Yan stood there, staring intently at her, then slowly shook her head. "No."

Qiao Xiao: "That's a real pity. I really wanted to thank them properly."

Hearing this, Qin Yan's heart clenched painfully. Now, everyone could get closer to her, except for herself. In her relationships with everyone, they could all be equal, without any debts owed to her, except for herself.

He didn't like this passive situation.

"Qiao Xiao, I'm planning to move out."

Qiao Xiao's expression changed. "Why?"

“This is not the environment I should be living in, and I am very clear about that.”

Qiao Xiao retorted, "But aren't you an unregistered resident? Aren't you unable to do anything?" She deliberately provoked him with this question.

Qin Yan smiled bitterly, his limbs stiff as if nailed to the wall. "I'll figure something out."

Qiao Xiao: "If you had a solution, you would have solved it long ago, instead of waiting until now."

Qin Yan: "But!"

Qiao Xiao interrupted him, "Alright, I have a headache, let's talk about this later." After saying that, she rubbed her forehead and went into her bedroom.

Qin Yan stood there, watching her figure, thinking to himself, "But if I don't leave, you will continue to be troubled. I am an insecure factor. Qiao Xiao, thank you for your kindness and pleas, but I have to go."
