Chapter 55 I'm Grandma's granddaughter-in-law, the young mistress of the Shi family!

After that day, Mr. Shi seemed to have broken some kind of seal.

My former self-discipline and adherence to propriety have long been forgotten; every night I hold her and do this and that...

The large bag of condoms he bought was visibly dwindling day by day.

However, it is undeniable that this is also a good way to enhance the relationship between husband and wife. Recently, the two have become more and more intimate and tacit, both physically and in their daily interactions.

Summer vacation is drawing to a close before we know it.

As the start of the new school year approached, Qin Shuzhi returned to the school and held two meetings.

According to the rules, she will return to teach a class in the first year of high school this semester.

As a result, she faced much less pressure than when she was a senior high school homeroom teacher, and her work became relatively easier.

With school starting just a weekend away, Mr. Shi made a point of setting aside his weekend to spend time with her.

So Qin Shuzhi made sure to arrange the two days of the weekend perfectly.

On Saturday noon, she went to the Shi Mansion to have lunch with her grandmother, and in the evening she went back to the Qin family to spend time with her parents. Sunday was her time alone with Mr. Shi.

Ever since Grandma said that it was lonely and desolate at the Shi Mansion, Qin Shuzhi has been taking Shi Yuanxing back every few days to have a meal and chat with the old lady.

Madam Shi was overjoyed every time.

Knowing that she would be starting school soon, he specially asked the kitchen to make her a lot of delicious food on Saturday noon.

At the dinner table.

Qin Shuzhi smiled helplessly at the old woman, "Grandma, you've prepared so much food, but there are only three of us. How can we possibly finish it all?"

"School starts in a couple of days, and you probably won't have much time to come back after you start working. I just had the chef research a few sweet and sour dishes, and I wanted you to try them out."

There was a hint of melancholy in the old woman's words, and Qin Shuzhi felt a pang of sympathy. She quickly smiled and said to her, "How could that be? Grandma's food is so delicious. I'll definitely come back often for meals every Sunday."

Madam Shi looked delighted. "Really?"

“Of course, Yuanxing also said he would come home for dinner more often in the future.” Qin Shuzhi looked at the man next to her, “Right, husband?”

Shi Yuanxing was serving food to the two ladies when he heard her words, and he smiled and agreed, "Yes."

"Good, good, good." Madam Shi was very happy, especially when she heard the words "go home," her eyes even became a little moist.

She looked at Qin Shuzhi with affection, "When you come back in the future, tell Grandma in advance, and Grandma will prepare lots of delicious food for you."

"Okay, thank you, Grandma."

Afterwards, Qin Shuzhi chatted with Madam Shi about growing flowers, and when she mentioned things she was interested in, the old lady became even more enthusiastic.

Shi Yuanxing sat to the side, quietly watching the woman beside him who made his grandmother so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, and felt a warm and touching feeling in his heart.

She truly considered his family as her own.

He knew that she often took the initiative to suggest going back to the Shi Mansion with him because she knew that he had spent many years abroad and had very little time to spend with his grandmother.

Grandma really does like her granddaughter-in-law very much.

The elderly woman, who usually takes a nap without fail, is not taking one today.

After lunch, the two ladies went to the garden to tend to the flowers and plants.

Shi Yuanxing watched the two of them wearing big hats pruning flowers, and he also put on a hat and squatted down next to them to watch.

Occasionally, I would hand them a small tool, offer advice, or tell them a joke.

Every now and then, bursts of cheerful laughter could be heard from the garden, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

When the two left the mansion, it was nearly 5 p.m.

Sitting in the car.

Shi Yuanxing leaned over to fasten Qin Shuzhi's seatbelt. After he finished, he didn't step back, but instead looked closely at the woman's pretty, fair face.

Qin Shuzhi felt a little confused and embarrassed by his gaze. Just as she was about to ask him what was wrong, the man lowered his head and kissed her lips.

It was a very gentle kiss.

The car was cramped, and the man's cool and pleasant scent surrounded her, making Qin Shuzhi's heart flutter and her lips feel tingly.

After a while, Shi Yuanxing finally released her lips, his dark eyes fixed on her. "Thank you, Mrs. Shi."

"Um?"

Qin Shuzhi was a little dazed from the kiss and looked at him blankly, "...What are you thanking me for?"

Shi Yuanxing's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Thank you for being so good to me, and so good to my family."

Qin Shuzhi understood the meaning behind his words and also saw the redness in the corner of his eyes.

Thinking of his experiences and the pain in his heart, she felt a pang of heartache.

"No need to thank me, I'm part of the Shi family now. Isn't it only right to be good to one's own family?"

She blinked and said with a haughty look, "I am Grandma's granddaughter-in-law, the young mistress of the Shi family."

Knowing that she was deliberately trying to make him happy, Shi Yuanxing felt a warmth in his heart, a smile overflowing from his teary eyes, and he couldn't help but kiss her again.

"Yes, the young mistress is right."

Yes, they are inseparable family, an intimate couple.

Afterwards, the two went directly to the Qin family's house.

As soon as the car entered the residential area, Qin Shuzhi saw a familiar car driving towards them.

As the two cars passed each other, she saw Qin Zhiheng through the half-open window of the other car.

He stared straight ahead, his lips pressed tightly together, and sped past with a sour expression.

"Um?"

Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but turn her head to look back.

Shi Yuanxing noticed her movement and asked, "What's wrong?"

“It is Zhiheng,” Qin Shuzhi said.

Shi Yuanxing glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the black Ferrari driving away. "Is my brother not home for dinner tonight?"

“I told him on WeChat yesterday that we’d be back tonight.”

Qin Shuzhi recalled Qin Zhiheng's expression just now, which clearly showed that he was angry about something.

"I'll call him and ask."

As she spoke, she dialed Qin Zhiheng's number.

After ringing for a while, the other end answered, and a slightly deep voice came through, "Sister."

"Your brother-in-law and I are home. We just saw your car. Where are you going?"

"I have an appointment to make and I'm going out for a while, so I won't be home for dinner tonight," Qin Zhiheng said. "Please apologize to my brother-in-law for me, and I'll treat him to drinks another day."

"Has something happened?" Qin Shuzhi asked worriedly.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm driving, I'll hang up now."

Qin Zhiheng hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Shi Yuanxing, who was standing nearby, overheard the conversation between the siblings and noticed that Qin Zhiheng seemed to be in a bad mood and was unwilling to talk to Qin Shuzhi.

He glanced at the woman beside him, who was frowning and looking worried. "Your parents might know the reason, or you can ask them later?"

Qin Shuzhi nodded, "Mm."

Back at the Qin family home.

Qin Shuzhi saw her parents sitting in the living room, their expressions not looking too good.

"Dad, Mom, we're back."

Upon hearing her voice, the Qin couple immediately composed themselves.

"You're back."

Qin's mother smiled and got up to greet her.

As Shi Yuan approached, he greeted both of them.

"Um, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready." Qin's mother called to Shi Yuanxing, "Yuanxing, please sit down for a while."

"Okay, Mom."

Qin Shuzhi glanced at her mother, who was heading towards the kitchen, and said to Shi Yuanxing, "You chat with Dad for a while, I'll go see if there's anything I can help with."

After saying that, she caught up with Qin's mother, stopped her at the kitchen door, and pulled her aside. "Mom, what just happened?"
