Chapter 257 - 257 194 Of Course Not Anymore

Chapter 257: Chapter 194 Of Course Not Anymore Chapter 257: Chapter 194 Of Course Not Anymore The drama group was very harmonious without Fu Yiqing, and the work efficiency of the whole crew had greatly improved.

Although Fu Yiqing was no longer in the crew, her gossip still lingered.

When the staff had idle moments, they inevitably discussed her, and by extension, brought up Qin Yulong as well.

Some believed that Wenyan had a good relationship with Qin Yulong, even going out of their way to ask her if the identity of the Ship King’s daughter was real….

Although Wenyan also liked gossip, she thought some people went too far with their gossip, coming all the way to her with their questions; she uniformly replied that she did not know.

Wenyan would also take out her phone to check messages during breaks in filming.

She wanted to see if there were any messages in the family group, if there was any progress with her parents and Qin Yulong.

But the group was quiet; there were no updates.

Wenyan felt this was somewhat affecting her state of mind, so she simply put her phone away.

It wasn’t until she returned to the hotel after work at night that she took out her phone again.

There were still no messages from her parents, but Qin Yulong had sent her a text message.

It was from a few hours earlier.

Wenyan carefully calculated the timing; it was roughly when she had just put her phone away, quite the coincidence.

In the text, Qin Yulong wrote, “Although you probably already know, I still wanted to tell you that I’ve met with them.”

At that time, Wenyan had not seen the message, so she did not reply, and Qin Yulong did not send a second message.

But now, it was only a little past midnight, so Wenyan decided to try her luck and replied to her.

“I was shooting earlier and didn’t see the message. I just finished work now. Are you asleep? If you’re not, can we talk?”

Luckily, just a few seconds after the message was sent, Qin Yulong called.

Wenyan immediately pressed the answer button.

“Hi, it’s great that you haven’t slept. I hope I’m not bothering you?”

“Not at all. Actually, your timing is perfect. My dad and I have just seen the guests out.”

“Guests? You’re not talking about my parents, are you?”

“Yes, it was them.”

“Hmm… can I ask how your talk went? You know I really care about this.”

“Yes, I do, that’s why I sent you that message earlier. I actually thought you would come with them.”

Wenyan chuckled, “Actually, I wanted to go too, but my parents didn’t plan to bring me. After all, it’s the first time the two families are meeting, so it wouldn’t have been right for me just to show up.”

“Well, it’s actually good you didn’t come.”

“Why say that? Do you dislike me?”

Qin Yulong laughed lightly, “No, I actually quite like your honesty, like you’re doing now, asking directly about any doubts. That’s why I’m being straightforward with you. I feel that we get along pretty well. I appreciate you, your frankness and your kindness and magnanimity.

“Perhaps if it were someone else in your position, they would resist me, see me as a threat. But you haven’t. In fact, you’ve been actively trying to bring me and your parents together. So, I didn’t want you to come over. I was afraid you’d act as a mediator between us, and I didn’t want you to be disappointed.”

“Ah???” Wenyan’s tone immediately dropped, “The moment you said that, a strong sense of disappointment hit me like a wave! It seems like your conversation didn’t go well. I want to ask, didn’t my parents’ appearance evoke any memories for you? About things from before you were eight, do you still remember nothing?”

“Yes, I remembered nothing. That’s why I turned down their proposal to recognize each other, I won’t be going back with them, and I’m not changing my name.”

“Then mom must be really heartbroken, right?”

“Probably, but please forgive me. I’ve always been Qin Yulong for all these years; I can’t suddenly become Shen Zhirou. If my current family no longer wants me, wants to take back the identity of Qin Yulong, maybe then I would consider returning this name and identity to them. But I am still an inseparable part of my family, my dad respects my choice, and my choice is to continue being Qin Yulong.”

“I can actually understand you very well, but Yulong, have you ever thought that you don’t necessarily have to become Shen Zhirou again. Just like I’ve been calling you Yulong. It’s just a name, it doesn’t prevent you from recognizing your biological parents. Besides, having a few more family members like us can’t be bad for you. Look, you’ve said yourself that you quite like me, and I like you too.”
