Chapter 409 - 409 Three Oaths
"Hmm!"
Qin Yu nodded, feeling faintly excited.
Although it was winter, Yan Mingyu's villa had underfloor heating in every room. Therefore, her nightgown was still the kind that was light and thin, like those worn in summer.
He could vaguely make out some snow-white skin beneath the fabric.
It was a good thing Qin Yu was no stranger to the ways of men and women. If this had been two years ago, his nose might have bled.
Even so, his heart was still thumping wildly, his body feeling somewhat feverish.
He pushed open the door, entered the bathroom, which was filled with a faint mist and smelled fragrant.
On the clothes rack, there laid a set of clean pajamas.
After quickly showering, Qin Yu put on the pajamas and walked out.
Yan Mingyu was already lying in bed, covered with a quilt, exposing a swath of snow-white shoulder.
He didn't know if her nightgown had slipped down or if she had taken everything off.
Her beautiful face was flushed with two patches of red, and she bit her lip gently, "Qin Yu, tonight is like our wedding night, and I want to hear you make a vow!"
"Ah?"
Qin Yu was taken aback.
In his memory, Yan Mingyu was a wise and mature woman. How could she suddenly be acting like a little girl, wanting to hear some vow?
Still, with the atmosphere as it was, Qin Yu certainly wasn't going to be low EQ and ask too many questions. Instead, he smiled and said, "I can vow that from now on we, as husband and wife..."
"It's not that I want to hear!"
Qin Yu hadn't even finished uttering the classic vow of "to share joy and sorrow, and to grow old together" when Yan Mingyu interrupted him.
"Then... what do you want to hear? You know I'm not good with words!"
Qin Yu blinked, looking at Yan Mingyu somewhat puzzled.
"Three things. First, you must be faithful to our marriage for your whole life. Second, you can only love me and no other woman. Third, you cannot have relationships with any other women besides me!"
Yan Mingyu extended three slender fingers, her eyes bright as stars, looking at Qin Yu very seriously as she spoke.
As mentioned before, in her memory, her father was a playboy, and her stepmother Liu Nanyan was a woman who, for the sake of benefit, could climb into another man's bed—a woman of loose morals.
Clearly, she detested and shunned the idea of marriage and emotions.
Now, she was about to entrust her pure body to a man, and naturally, she hoped for some assurance.
Even though she knew vows were sometimes less reliable than a farthing, she believed that if Qin Yu made a vow, he would surely honor it for a lifetime.
"Uh..."
Qin Yu looked a bit embarrassed. He believed he could be faithful to their marriage and that he loved only Yan Mingyu. But the third point, he couldn't do it; he already had ambiguous relationships with Miao Xian'er and Han Bing.
If he still made the vow, it would be a deceit to Yan Mingyu.
With this thought, Qin Yu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been thrown over him, quenching his heat and passion in an instant.
"Qin Yu... you wouldn't be..."
Yan Mingyu also noticed the unusual expression on Qin Yu's face, and her heartstrings tightened, fearing to hear from Qin Yu that he actually loved another woman.
"No, wife, don't think nonsense!"
Qin Yu hurriedly said.
"Then what do you mean?"
Yan Mingyu asked, puzzled.
"It's like this, Lu Wenrou, wasn't she the one I introduced to join Dragon Gate? And she gave me a team leader position, but with conditions. I have to help her deal with an extremely fierce and troublesome person. I'm going to Jinling the day after tomorrow, and I don't know what the outcome will be. If I make a vow now, that would be irresponsible to you. I'm afraid, if anything happens to me, then the vow would just be a lie!"
Qin Yu said with a bit of a forced explanation.
He felt somewhat guilty inside. It wasn't that he didn't love Yan Mingyu, but that he hadn't figured out how to deal with the relationships with Miao Xian'er and Han Bing.
"Don't talk nonsense; you've come through so many dangers, and this time will be no different. If worst comes to worst, don't go to Jinling. What's so great about being a leader in Dragon Gate!"
Yan Mingyu said, puffed up with anger.
"Hey, silly wife, I've offended the Martial Alliance and angered the masters on the Tiger Ranking. They probably dream about killing me. Only by joining Dragon Gate with its protection will they have to think twice. I have no choice; it's all about self-preservation!"
Qin Yu gave a bitter smile and said.
"This...."
Yan Mingyu also knew that what Qin Yu said was true. The Martial Alliance was simply too powerful. Even her Four Seas Corporation couldn't become Qin Yu's amulet.
"I... won't ask you to make a vow. Come on up, let's sleep!"
Yan Mingyu bit her pearl-like teeth and gently lifted some of the quilt, with glimpses of pure white spring light bursting forth.
"Wife, once I return from Jinling and we've held our wedding, then we can truly be together!"
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he walked over to Yan Mingyu's side and kissed her smooth forehead, "Goodnight, I'm going to sleep in the next room!"
"Qin Yu...."
Yan Mingyu felt touched but also a bit annoyed. How could this guy be so single-minded?
Didn't she strip naked for nothing?
"See you tomorrow...."
Qin Yu had closed the door.
He was afraid that staying even one second longer would make him succumb to the allure of Yan Mingyu's gentle embrace.
Yet, before he had resolved the issues with both Miao Xian'er and Han Bing, touching Yan Mingyu would be a desecration of their feelings and of himself.
Whew....
Qin Yu let out a breath of stale air, walked into the adjacent room, and lay down in bed, falling asleep.
The next day.
Early morning.
Yan Mingyu was still sleeping when she vaguely heard her phone ring.
"Who could it be so early?"
Yan Mingyu muttered to herself before extending her snow-white hand from under the covers to pick up the phone. It was a call from Grandpa.
"Grandpa, you're up early!"
Yan Mingyu, rubbing her eyes, answered the call.
"Mingyu, do you know someone named Ye Tianling? He said something about being prepared to welcome him, and also that you should get the company shares ready to give to him later. Who is this person, acting so high and mighty?"
Grandpa Yan's voice sounded puzzled.
"Ye Tianling?"
Yan Mingyu searched her mind and didn't recognize the name. This was too brazen, demanding all of her company's shares just like that?
Wait a second....
The last name Ye?

Could it be someone from the Ye Family?
Yan Mingyu recalled the message her aunt sent the other day, mentioning that the Ye Family had found out about her existence.
With this thought, Yan Mingyu sat up halfway, "Grandpa, here's what we'll do. Qin Yu and I...."
"Creak...."
At that moment, Qin Yu also pushed open the room door, then, as if frozen in place, he stared unblinkingly at Yan Mingyu who was sitting up in bed.
Just then, the morning light streamed through the gap in the curtains.
Her exquisitely beautiful face, her long black silky hair, and her unblemished, proud fullness made her look like a noble Venus.
The sheets are so white....
No, the bed is so round!
Yan Mingyu, usually dressed so conservatively, hid her well-kept secret under her guise as a wealthy and beautiful wife—she was indeed full-figured.
"You...."
Yan Mingyu, realizing her exposure, lightly tugged the sheet to cover the glimpses of spring light slipping out, then continued to speak, "Never mind him for now, Qin Yu and I will handle it."
What do you think?
