Everyone Knows I'm a Good Person Chapter 67.1

Chapter 67.1

Editor: SimoB

Qin Yunsheng felt like something wasn’t quite right.

In one day, he went from being an innocent single dog to a man with a boyfriend.

Then his boyfriend upgraded into his fiancé.

And it all happened in less than seven hours.

The officer tried to do something, but before he could say anything, the young Marquis who was guarding him like a precious treasure turned to hiss at him.

“Don’t you dare speak!”

If he stopped speaking when s.h.i.+ Qing ordered him to, wouldn’t he lose face?

Qin Yunsheng pretended to not hear him as he opened his mouth

“Mua!”

The young Marquis quickly gave him another peck.

Qin Yunsheng: “……”

The poor officer, who had never been this close to anyone since birth, blushed an even deeper shade of red. The lost way he looked at s.h.i.+ Qing could almost be described as pitiful.

He didn’t mean to blush; it was just a reflex.

But he really was taken aback.

s.h.i.+ Qing: “I said you’re not allowed to talk!”

Qin Yunsheng: “I…”

“Mua!”

The tall and slender officer wearing a well-fitting military uniform that showed off his muscles, covered his face in a daze.

The place where he was kissed felt hot enough to burn.

His blue screened brain couldn’t react in time to this relentless a.s.sault.

Qin Yunsheng: “You…”

“MUA!”

After three attacks, the officer finally recovered some semblance of thought.

He kept his face covered and quietly shut his mouth.

Seeing that Qin Yunsheng didn’t intend to mess things up anymore, the young Marquis turned around and raised his eyebrows proudly.

“See how in love we are?”

s.h.i.+ Yiyi deliberately laid in wait here so she could lure s.h.i.+ Qing over and put on a show for him.

Of course she didn’t actually like Qin Yunsheng.

Although the man was handsome and had a good temperament and figure, he was just a baron.

The man she was going to marry must be of an even higher status.

Normally, she wouldn’t even give someone like Qin Yunsheng a second look.

The only reason she came here was to provoke s.h.i.+ Qing.

You might be wondering why. Well, it’s for the Duke’s family fortune, of course.

Although she didn’t have the chance to spend much time with the Duke, she could tell that he was a very reserved person.

He was clearly one of those old-fas.h.i.+oned elders who followed archaic customs, so how could such a person allow their only son and heir to be with a man?

s.h.i.+ Qing’s hair-trigger temper was an open secret. If she used this incident to her advantage, it would only be a matter of days before father and son were at each other’s throats.

s.h.i.+ Yiyi looked at the young Marquis who had headed right into her trap. Glee flashed in her eyes.

She said, “This is the first I’ve heard of you two being together, but you say you’re already engaged? Fat chance.”

s.h.i.+ Yiyi: “s.h.i.+ Qing, you haven’t made your relations.h.i.+p with Qin-ge public yet. Although you’re my little brother, he’s technically still up for grabs, so why can’t I pursue him?”

The young Marquis became even more incensed.

s.h.i.+ Qing sneered without a hint of hesitation.

“I’m going to make my relations.h.i.+p with him public right now, s.h.i.+ Yiyi. You don’t have a chance! And here I thought you had a crush on Qin Cheng. I didn’t expect you to be so flakey and even go after other people’s partners! When I wasn’t with Qin Yunsheng, you didn’t confess to him. But now that we’re together you come jumping out.” the young Marquis added, his voice full of disgust.

Qin Cheng was also from the Science and Technology Inst.i.tute. He was an Earl that the Queen held in high regard. There had been rumours that the Queen intended to make him her heir.

So when this Earl, who was nicknamed the ‘Invisible Prince’, came to the Inst.i.tute straight after graduation to indulge in research, many jaws dropped to the floor.

The reason s.h.i.+ Yiyi first came to the Inst.i.tute was also because of the ‘Invisible Prince’.

But she didn’t let s.h.i.+ Qing’s insults get under her skin.

There was no one around anyways, so what did it matter if he slandered her? Everything would be worth it if she could achieve her goal.

s.h.i.+ Yiyi: “What I do is none of your business. I’m still going to pursue Qin Yunsheng, and I’ll never give up unless you make your relations.h.i.+p with him public.”

s.h.i.+ Qing: [Tongtong, this lady is such a sweetheart. She’s so skilled and kind, are you sure she’s a bad person?]

System: [In the original plotline, she did stab Qin Yunsheng in the back. Her actions caused not only her own demise, but also the demise of her innocent husband, who was wholeheartedly devoted to research.]

Wholeheartedly devoted to research?

s.h.i.+ Qing: [Was her husband Qin Cheng?]

The system flipped through the data like crazy: [Yes, that’s right! It was Qin Cheng!]

s.h.i.+ Qing searched his mind for memories of Qin Cheng.

There wasn’t much about his appearance, but there seemed to be a reticent young man with gla.s.ses, who hid himself away to fuel his addiction to science.

Filing this information away for later, s.h.i.+ Qing took the arm of the stiff officer beside him. He looked like he was sent into a rage by his cousin’s words.

“Just you wait, I’ll announce it tomorrow! The whole world will know we’re together!”

s.h.i.+ Yiyi was ecstatic, and struggled to maintain her dismissive expression.

“Whatever. You don’t have the guts to do it anyways.”

Saying that, she turned and left, calculating how she was going to tell Father s.h.i.+ the bad news tomorrow.

Even if s.h.i.+ Qing was his only son, two men couldn’t possibly have an heir, so how could he be allowed to inherit the t.i.tle and the family fortune?

Qin Yunsheng, who watched s.h.i.+ Yiyi leave: “……”

Of course he could see the glee hidden in s.h.i.+ Yiyi’s eyes.

Obviously, this cousin, who had always been at odds with s.h.i.+ Qing, was deliberately provoking him to publicly declare his love for a man.

And the young Marquis, who was able to checkmate even him, actually believed her act.

The young Marquis was still holding onto his arm with a death grip even after his cousin had left. Qin Yunsheng remained silent for a few seconds before he spoke.

“Professor s.h.i.+, what about your promise to explain…”

s.h.i.+ Qing played dumb. “What promise? Did I promise something? Do you have me confused with someone else?”

Qin Yunsheng: “……”

Even if this wasn’t his first taste of the other’s shamelessness, he still felt as helpless against it as ever.

The officer reminded him in an even-tempered manner, “You promised to help me explain our relations.h.i.+p at 9:00.”

“Did I?” The young Marquis looked like he had amnesia. “Nope. No idea. No way I said that.”

Qin Yunsheng: “…Please don’t joke with me at a time like this.”

s.h.i.+ Qing stopped joking, but he was still very self-righteous. “Didn’t you hear what she just said? s.h.i.+ Yiyi likes you, so if we tell everyone you’re single, she’s definitely going to pursue you again. She isn’t pretty on the inside nor on the outside! If you don’t want to be pestered by her into an early grave, you should be a good boy and stay like this.”

The officer pinched his nose helplessly and sighed.

Although he already knew s.h.i.+ Qing and s.h.i.+ Yiyi didn’t get along, he hadn’t expected that s.h.i.+ Qing would go so far to get one over on his cousin.

Qin Yunsheng, “s.h.i.+ Yiyi doesn’t like me.”

s.h.i.+ Qing, “She likes you.”

Qin Yunsheng, “She really doesn’t like me.”

s.h.i.+ Qing: “She really does.”

Qin Yunsheng: …This isn’t working.

He’s never seen such a stubborn and rigid person, even in the army.

The officer sighed once more, feeling like he was going to fulfill his lifetime sighing quota in a single day.

Trying to clear his mind, he said to s.h.i.+ Qing, “She’s clearly just saying that to provoke you to go public with our relations.h.i.+p. You’re playing into her hand if you really do it.”

Qin Yunsheng used his knowledge of the bad blood between the cousins to offer some advice. “You don’t want to see that smug look on Ms. s.h.i.+’s face after her scheme succeeds, right?”

By all rights, this should’ve gotten through to s.h.i.+ Qing.

However, the young Marquis didn’t bat an eyelid. “There’s no way. What good will it do her if I declare my relations.h.i.+p with you?”

Qin Yunsheng: “Wouldn’t the Duke be angry?”

“Heh.” s.h.i.+ Qing chuckled indifferently, “I don’t have a good relations.h.i.+p with him, so what do I care if he’s angry or not.”

Qin Yunsheng: “…The Duke might be angry enough to refuse to leave his t.i.tle and fortune to you.”

The officer thought that s.h.i.+ Qing would finally understand the seriousness of the matter if he said that.

s.h.i.+ Qing: “Whatever. He’s the one who earned all that, so he can give it to whomever he likes. I don’t give two s.h.i.+ts if he takes it to his grave.”

The young Marquis’s fair and beautiful face was without a trace of greed. His red lips were slightly pursed and even a little disgusted.

Qin Yunsheng’s gaze gradually grew complicated. He didn’t believe that s.h.i.+ Qing was ignorant of what those a.s.sets and t.i.tles represented.

Anyone randomly pulled off the street would be willing to give everything they had for those things.

But the young Marquis, who seemed to always rely on his family history to be arrogant and reckless, could so carelessly throw them away.

In the end, it seemed like he was still a child.

He only cared about getting even for every slight, without considering the long term consequences of his actions. One could only imagine how difficult his life would be in the future.

He asked, “If you really lose the Duke’s support by coming out, how will you live?”

s.h.i.+ Qing was delicate, proud and outspoken.

But could he afford to remain that way without a steady stream of money and backing?

The slender young Marquis who was wearing form-fitting pajamas yawned.

From this angle, Qin Yunsheng could see the side profile of his fair and upturned nose.

There were always some people in the world who were born with more luck than others. Not only was s.h.i.+ Qing from an enviable family with inexhaustible wealth, he also had such stunning features.

It was as if all the good things in the entire world had gone to s.h.i.+ Qing.

While Qin Yunsheng was lost in thought, the young Marquis, who didn’t even know how fortunate he was, leaned against him bonelessly.

His pretty lips seemed plump and glossy under the light, with the corners slightly curled up. Raising his eyebrows, he flashed a wicked smile at the officer.

“Who do you think I am? A good-for-nothing second generation that only knows how to fool around and have fun?”

Qin Yunsheng: “…….”

That was what s.h.i.+ Qing’s previous behavior pointed to??

…But s.h.i.+ Qing’s actions also proved there was more to him than that.
