Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 174: Read So Many Novels for Nothing!

The word "death" danced back and forth on the fragile nerves of Qin Mingcheng, driving him completely insane. With a sharp slap, he struck Su Xinyue’s face, repeatedly landing a dozen more hard slaps amidst her shocked gaze.

"Shut up! You shut your mouth! Don’t say that word again, do you hear me? Don’t say it again!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Su Xinyue continued to scream in agony. She struggled to crawl away but was yanked back by her hair by Qin Mingcheng.

"Where do you think you’re going? Thinking of running away? I’ll tell you, it’s impossible! Right now, you’re my bargaining chip for survival. You won’t escape!"

He muttered frantically, dragging Su Xinyue into the building like dragging a dead pig. Su Xinyue attempted to resist but received several vicious kicks from Qin Mingcheng.

Listening to the harrowing screams from inside, Su Yijia smirked with satisfaction. Though the smile was faint, it was evidently genuine happiness.

"Gao, could I trouble you to stay here today and ensure Su Xinyue doesn’t try to escape?" Su Yijia suppressed her smile and approached Gao Huabin with a hint of awkwardness. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Gao Huabin immediately nodded, "Sure! Sister-in-law, rest assured, I won’t let her run away."

For him, merely eighteen hours was really nothing. When he used to go on missions, even guarding for a week was no problem.

"I’ll come in the afternoon to bring you some food. What would you like to eat?" Su Yijia hastily asked, feeling grateful.

Giving money was the most practical way to show gratitude, but Gao Huabin was sure not to accept it. Therefore, she could only make something delicious to treat him.

"Dumplings," Gao Huabin’s mouth watered. Despite having eaten a lot for lunch, watching a play was mentally taxing and left him hungry again.

"Alright, I’ll bring it to you early," Su Yijia agreed, suppressing a smile.

She left the car for Gao Huabin and slowly walked home, pushing Qin Kaize along. The weather today was somewhat overcast, and the wind was quite strong, but it didn’t seem like it would rain.

"How about we go by the river and enjoy the fresh air? It’s quite nice," Su Yijia suggested. People needed to look into the distance more; being cooped up in a small square day after day could be stifling.

Especially since Su Xinyue and Qin Mingcheng had just had such a loud argument, both Gao Huabin and Qin Kaize were likely to have heard. It wouldn’t matter if she didn’t explain too much to Gao Huabin, but she had to explain to Qin Kaize.

Considering the fact that they would be together for the rest of their lives, she couldn’t let Qin Kaize believe she was crazy.

Sitting by the riverside, the best place for scenery, Su Yijia closed her eyes and enjoyed the cool breeze on her face. After contemplating how to handle the situation, she crouched down in front of Qin Kaize, gazing straight into his eyes.

"Do you ever wonder why I’m pushing Su Xinyue and Qin Mingcheng to get married?" Su Yijia asked.

"Aren’t they supposed to get married? If they don’t, they’ll have to go to jail. You’re doing this for their own good," Qin Kaize remained particularly calm, as if he didn’t see any issue with the matter at all.

This response left Su Yijia somewhat astonished. She blinked, taking a while to digest his reply.

"Is that really how you see it?"

"Anything is better than going to jail." Although Qin Kaize was also somewhat curious as to why his little daughter-in-law was doing this, he didn’t believe Su Xinyue’s earlier words.

Su Jianshe and Lin Cuifen were paying for murder. Wei Shufen and his two good cousins had malicious intentions. Yijia was merely not successfully manipulated by them. In the end, these people were digging their own graves.

However, if Su Xinyue and Qin Mingcheng got married, the issue of their conduct could be overlooked. This was clearly paving the way for them.

"Many guys have liked Su Xinyue since she was young. Qin Mingcheng is just the one with the best conditions among her suitors. If those two actually get married, that would be a complete mess. I want to see how they’ll end up. Also, a few days ago, when I came back from the clothing factory, I saw Su Xinyue tussling with a guy on the street. He looked to be in his early twenties or early thirties, driving a small car. He’s definitely not an ordinary person. If I don’t pressure Su Xinyue to marry Qin Mingcheng, she might end up successfully finding someone else. To prevent her from living a good life, I have to marry her to Qin Mingcheng." Everything Su Yijia said was true and reasonable. Although it was a bit malicious, Qin Kaize saw no issue with it.

Qin Mingcheng and Su Xinyue had engaged in that kind of relationship, and they should get married. If that was the case, then Su Xinyue shouldn’t have unclear relationships with other men.

"You did the right thing. Although Su Xinyue and Qin Mingcheng may not be reliable, the child in her belly is innocent. It shouldn’t be born without a complete family. Moreover, being under thirty and owning a small car shows that man is capable. He shouldn’t be ruined by Su Xinyue," Qin Kaize praised sincerely. He not only highly approved of Su Yijia’s actions but also added an analysis to prove that this was genuinely his perspective.

Su Yijia knew he was definitely trying to placate her, and it made her blush.

Drooping her head, she turned her face to the side. Mumbling softly, "I don’t really care for anyone’s good; I just want to see them fight."

After waiting for a while, those burning eyes were still fixed on her.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Su Yijia glanced back at Qin Kaize.

"I also want to see them fight," Qin Kaize blinked

They were both of the same nature, sharing the same secrets, and it stirred Su Yijia to the point where her fingertips tingled and her body grew unbearably warm.

Without needing to look in a mirror, she knew her face must be as red as a ripe apple.

Seriously? This Qin Kaize, who could only wink, was already causing such a reaction from her?!

Had all those novels she had read been for nothing?!

Su Yijia turned her head, looking around. She noticed that besides themselves, the riverside was entirely empty.

She quickly averted her eyes and, in Qin Kaize’s subtly expectant gaze, lightly pecked him on the lips.

Even though he couldn’t taste the kiss, he knew what his little daughter-in-law was up to. And that overly sweet fragrance made his heart race rapidly.

Su Yijia, after the peck, not content, fiercely bit his thin lips.

"Alright, let’s go home!"

Feeling like she regained the upper hand, Su Yijia stood up and guided Qin Kaize out. In the yard, the anxious Grandpa and Grandma Lin, upon hearing the noise outside, hurried to the door. When they saw their granddaughter standing there unharmed, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandpa, Grandma, why are you so worried? We went to the police station; there won’t be any problem," Su Yijia reassured them gently.

Grandma Lin lifted her hand, brushing Su Yijia’s disheveled hair behind her ear, her face full of concern. "We know you’re a good child. Going there shouldn’t cause any trouble, but that is the police station, after all..."

"Alright, I’ll try not to go there in the future," Su Yijia pushed Qin Kaize into the yard, then hugged Grandma Lin, acting a bit spoiled.

Grandma Lin glared at her, a little irritated. "Listen to how you speak, child! Do you still want to go there in the future?!"

"I won’t, I won’t," Su Yijia pleaded repeatedly.

She knew that even if she went there in the future, she had to do it secretly. She absolutely couldn’t let her grandparents find out, or they would certainly worry themselves sick.
