My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Yin Qin stands by the door.

His heart hurts.

He didn’t know why, when he heard Ji Baixin say she loved him, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed with a knife.

He didn’t know if it was because he had waited too long, or … because there was another woman in his life already.

Even if he didn’t love her, he had responsibilities.

He was struggling to choose.

He was in distress.

He tenses his body.

Ji Baixin just watches him.

Watches his figure.

She knew how difficult it was for Yin Qin.

If he decided to stay, he would betray Luo Xiaolang.

If he decided to leave, he would fail her.

She didn’t want him to be so troubled, but she really couldn’t accept Yin Qin leaving, leaving to marry another woman.

She admitted, she was trickery in love, using her current miserable situation in return for a man she deeply loved.

In fact.

Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang’s marriage, a marriage without love, is it really right?

Her eyes still glistening with unshed tears.

As if the whole world had gone quiet.

Yin Qin remains silent.

She had been hoping for his response, but he didn’t speak a word.

They were both silent.

Silent.

Suddenly, Yin Qin comes back to her bedside.

Ji Baixin watches him.

As he suddenly takes her into his arms.

Ji Baixin could feel the warmth of Yin Qin’s hug.

As she lays on his chest, her tears flood, unable to stop.

She said, “I’m sorry, Yin Qin, I’m sorry…”

Yin Qin only hugs her tighter.

He knew very clearly, for a proud woman like Ji Baixin to do such a thing, her heart might be even more distressed than his.

He knew clearly, even if he went back and married Luo Xiaolang now, his life would never be the same without Ji Baixin now, because of the heartbreaking experience of Ji Baixin, in his marriage with Luo Xiaolang, there would always be a presence of another woman.

In the end.

How should he choose?

Should he be responsible to Xiaolang, or should he be responsible to Baixin?

Why did Ji Baixin only tell him now that she liked him?

Why did she wait until now to say it?

Ji Baixin clings to Yin Qin’s clothes, as if fearing he will leave her the next second.

“I know it’s very wrong of me to do this, I’m sorry to Xiaolang, I really regret it, but … I’m worried that if you really get married with Xiaolang, I will no longer want to stay in this world, like just now, it was not impulsive, just because I lost you…”

Yin Qin holds her even tighter.

Fearing, she might disappear just like that.

For a long time.

He heard her say, “Hmm, I won’t get married.”

The moment she said it, not only did Ji Baixin cry.

Yin Qin also cried.

In this life, he has finally failed Luo Xiaolang, finally hurt her.

…

Inside Luo Xiaolang’s suite.

Everyone was ready.

From the very beginning, Song Zhizhi and Xin Zaozao, along with a few staff members were brainstorming how to trouble Yin Qin, and waited until nine in the morning for him to arrive, Song Zhizhi even jokingly said that maybe Yin Qin was too nervous to show up.

Now it’s already eleven in the morning.

Everyone knew that something might be wrong.

Even if he was late.

He should have shown up by now.

Song Zhizhi looks at Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang seems unaware of the time, just quietly waiting.

Without hurry or impatience.

Xin Zaozao turns to look at Song Zhizhi, they look at each other and choose to remain silent.

It’s twelve noon.

In theory, the wedding would start in 8 minutes.

Yin Qin hasn’t arrived.

He probably won’t come now.

But at this moment, everyone is still hoping and waiting for Yin Qin, hoping that even if he’s unreliable, even if he’s late, he won’t never show up.

It’s one in the afternoon.

Yin Qin hasn’t come.

He won’t come now.

Even Luo Xiaolang, who doesn’t understand wedding rules, knows that Yin Qin won’t come.

But she still hasn’t left.

She thought, since the wedding is for a day, might as well wait.

If he doesn’t come, it’s just waiting for the day to end.

It’s three in the afternoon.

Qin Keqin arrives.

Her eyes are a bit red, apparently from crying, and she’s trying to hold back her emotions as she looks at Luo Xiaolang.

She knew that her son finally fled the wedding for Ji Baixin.

She had called him non-stop, she even sent people to look for him, to look everywhere. She thought no matter what, someone has to drag Yin Qin back, to give Xiaolang an explanation, but they didn’t find him, no one did in the entire city.

It’s five in the afternoon.

Luo Xiaolang takes off the shimmering wedding gown she was wearing.

The wedding gown looked really beautiful on Luo Xiaolang.

The moment Luo Xiaolang finished dressing up, she dazzled everyone.

Song Zhizhi and Xin Zaozao didn’t recognize her for a second, even though they were watching Luo Xiaolang getting ready bit by bit. But once she was all dressed up, she was unbelievably beautiful. Song Zhizhi joked that it turns out having a child could make a woman even more beautiful.

In that moment, they thought Yin Qin was a really lucky guy.

This idiot was truly blessed to have found a gem like Luo Xiaolang.

6 PM.

Qin Keqin took Luo Xiaolang home.

Song Zhizhi stopped her.

Qin Keqin said, “Yin Qin is eventually going to return, he should give Luo Xiaolang an explanation.”

She isn’t taking Xiaolang home with no name or claim, she only wanted Yin Qin to face Xiaolang and explain himself – that the Yin Family owed an apology to Xiaolang.

Song Zhizhi looked at Luo Xiaolang.

She didn’t help him make a choice, that was for Luo Xiaolang to decide.

Luo Xiaolang nodded his head.

7 PM.

Luo Xiaolang returned to the Yin family mansion with Qin Keqin.

8 PM.

Yin Qin returned home.

He returned.

He was still in his pajamas, with a few bloodstains on them.

He walked into the mansion.

The mansion was quite quiet.

Even though the mansion was still filled with festive wedding decorations, pink balloons, pink ribbons, red carpets…

He walked in, step by step.

In the house, his father, mother, Luo Xiaolang, and the nanny holding the baby tiger were all there. There was an additional person – a family doctor.

Yin Qin laughed a little at that moment.

He said, “You even prepared a doctor for me.”

Qin Keqin’s face fell but she said nothing.

Yin Bing retorted fiercely, “You wish! We got the doctor for your mother!”

They were worried that she could get a heart attack out of fury and put two lives in danger.

Yin Qin nodded silently.

He went over.

He stood in front of them.

At that moment, he didn’t dare to look at Luo Xiaolang.

He had also turned off his phone for the entire day, hadn’t even thought about charging it, didn’t want to see what kind of news the media were spreading at this moment.

He had spent the entire day with Ji Baixing, giving her infusion at the hospital in the morning, accompanying her home and stayed with her in the afternoon until she fell asleep. Then he came back to face all his wrongdoings.

It was all silent in the mansion.

Qin Keqin resisted her own emotions, kept bottling it up.

She was truly furious, furious to her core, however, when she faced her son at this moment, she didn’t feel like losing her temper anymore. She just felt like she didn’t have this son after all, that the one in her belly was her first child and the one in front of her might have been a mistake. Why should she harm her own body for this mistake?

The standoff continued like this.

Yin Qin laughed lightly, making himself appear relaxed, “Mom, where’s your kitchen knife?”

Qin Keqin didn’t even look at him.

“I am already in such a state, don’t you want to kill me?” Yin Qin asked.

Even after all he had done to disappoint, his mother was still being so calm- it was illogical.

Qin Keqin said, “To risk my own life for you is not worth it.”

“You’re right.” Yin Qin agreed.

At least, Miss Qin in his family was rational.

Yin Qin took a deep breath, he said, “Since you’re not going to beat me, then let me state my thoughts.”

Qin Keqin turned to look at him.

Yin Qin said, “I am indeed not going to marry Luo Xiaolang.”

On hearing these words, Qin Keqin was so angry that her body was trembling.

Yin Bin noticed his wife’s emotions and hurriedly went over to hug her.

Yin Qin continued, “Just as you guessed, I plan to be with Ji Baixing. I have loved her for many years, I can’t go against my heart and be with Luo Xiaolang. If we were together, we won’t be happy, it’s unfair to Luo Xiaolang.”

Qin Keqin was holding back her volcanic emotions.

Yin Qin said, “I indeed am such a scumbag. I knew I can’t let go of Ji Baixing but still proposed to Luo Xiaolang. At the actual moment of the wedding, I hesitated all over again – I can’t even look at myself!”

“No one cares whether you look up to yourself or not!” Qin Keqin couldn’t hold back her fury, she said fiercely, “So now, what are you planning to do with Xiaolang?”

It seemed like Yin Qin’s body stiffened for a moment.

Quickly, he composed himself again.

He turned around to face Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang was sitting on the sofa, her white face and pitch-black eyes were looking at him.

Yin Qin was really afraid to see Luo Xiaolang’s innocent, clear eyes.

His eyes welled up a little.

He held back and said, “I’m sorry, Xiaolang.”

Luo Xiaolang was still just watching him.

“I initially thought that I could be with you. For the baby tiger, we could make a family, but at the last moment, I realised that I still couldn’t let go of Ji Baixing. I have wronged you.” Yin Qin said, resisting all his emotions, to her.

Luo Xiaolang still just looked at Yin Qin.

After a long while, Luo Xiaolang shook her head, “I knew.”

Yin Qin looked at her.

Luo Xiaolang said, “I knew you liked Ji Baixing, and I knew that you wanted to be with her.”

Yin Qin’s eyes were really red, his vision of Luo Xiaolang in front of him already blurred.

In a calm, unhurried tone, Luo Xiaolang said, “In the first place, I had baby tiger due to my own reasons. I never thought that you should be responsible for it, and I knew that because of this child, I have caused you a lot of trouble and made you endure many misunderstandings and blame from others. Your not attending the wedding today is understandable – consider it even between us, in the future do not complain about my forcing you.”

Yin Qin clenched his fists, he really couldn’t utter a word in that moment.

He thought- he thought that at the very least Luo Xiaolang would be mad at him, at least she would have some complaint.

But this naive girl was reflecting on her own past mistakes this whole time.

Qin Keqin was listening on the side, she felt like she was going to break down.

Luo Xiaolang, this naive girl, how could she be this naive?

She couldn’t hold back her tears when she heard what Luo Xiaolang said.

Luo Xiaolang said, “I didn’t come back here because I wanted an explanation from you, nor an apology. I came to tell you, I don’t harbor any hatred or resentment towards you. Since you’ve chosen Ji Baixing, I bless your relationship with her. Also, I will leave with baby tiger, I hope you won’t fight me for him.”

Yin Qin never thought about snatching away their baby, he knew very well how much he loved his son. But he also knew how deep Luo Xiaolang’s feelings for their baby were. He wasn’t selfish enough to interfere.

“Well, it’s late. I should go now,” Luo Xiaolang said to the nanny, “Has everything been packed up?”

The Nanny replied, “Your things, the baby tiger’s things, everything is packed. Young…” Her speech abruptly stopped, awkwardly trailing off.

Luo Xiaolang nodded slightly.

She stood up from the sofa, walked past Yin Qin, facing Qin Keqin and Yin Bing.

She said, “Dad, Mom…”

Luo Xiaolang paused.

Qin Keqin, teary eyed, looked at Luo Xiaolang, at this pure and naive girl.

“I suppose I shouldn’t call you two mom and dad anymore.”

Qin Keqin couldn’t hold back anymore.

The anger pent up all day couldn’t compete with the sadness brought on by Luo Xiaolang’s clear voice saying “I suppose I shouldn’t call you two mom and dad anymore”. She even felt that her sorrow at the moment was more severe than when she caught Yin Bing and Lin Ximeng coming out from a hotel together!
