Chapter 84 If he loves her, will she... fall in love with him in the future?

"How dare a scumbag like him, who is unfaithful in relationships, say that you are not a good person? How can he have the nerve to say that? What right does he have to speak ill of you?"

Seeing her indignant expression because she had been scolded, Shi Yuanxing felt a warmth fill his heart.

"So you're angry because he insulted me...?"

"How can I not be angry when he insults my husband?"

Qin Shuzhi grew angrier as she spoke, "Hmph, if I weren't outmatched, I really would have kicked him twice on the spot, and then..."

Qin Shuzhi was still angry when she looked up and saw that the person she had been scolded was actually smiling smugly.

? ? ?

"He insulted you, aren't you angry?"

Shi Yuanxing: "Yeah, I'm angry."

Qin Shuzhi looked at the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress, "But you seem very happy?"

Shi Yuanxing happily pulled the person into his arms again, saying, "Of course I'm happy that my wife stood up for me."

He started pecking and kissing people's cheeks like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Wife, how can you be so good to me?"

Qin Shuzhi was a little embarrassed by his teasing. The person who was furious when cursing the scumbag just now had a soft voice now:

"Well, you're very good to me too, so of course I'm good to you too."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuanxing suddenly looked at her and said, "If I'm good to you, will you be good to me?"

If he loves her, will she... fall in love with him in the future?

"Of course, you're not only good to me, you're good to my family too, and I'm your wife, of course I will..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man suddenly kissed her, swallowing all her unfinished words.

His kiss was somewhat intense, as if he wanted to convey some strong emotion to her through this intimacy.

But Qin Shuzhi was so overwhelmed by the kiss that she felt weak all over and had no time to comprehend anything else.

Shi Yuanxing kissed her until she slumped into his arms before releasing her lips, looking down at her with hazy, soft eyes.

Once she caught her breath, he said, "I'm nice to your family because they're my family too, so you don't need to be nice to me because of that."

What he wanted was never gratitude.

What he wanted was her pure liking for him as a person.

She treats him well because she likes him, not because a wife treats her husband well out of the affection she should have for him.

He gazed intently at the person in his arms, suppressing his wildly beating heart, "Zhizhi, I really..." like you.

Before he could finish the last three words, Qin Shuzhi suddenly sat up straight from his embrace, met his gaze, and said, "I understand."

? ? ?

He hadn't even said anything, and she already knew?

"Thank you for treating my family as family."

Qin Shuzhi's eyes welled up with tears. "Mr. Shi, on Sunday... would you please accompany me to meet another member of my family?"

Shi Yuanxing was slightly taken aback. "You have other family members?"

“My birth mother,” Qin Shuzhi said, “the day after tomorrow is the anniversary of her death.”

She wanted to tell her mother that she had married a very good man.

"good."

Shi Yuanxing solemnly agreed.

The next day, he personally accompanied Qin Shuzhi to buy the items needed for the sacrificial ceremony.

night.

After Qin Shuzhi went to take a shower, he received a call from Li Sheng.

"Mr. Shi, there's been a sudden problem with the project in Beijing, and I think we'll need your personal involvement to negotiate."

Shi Yuanxing frowned slightly. "When is the meeting?"

Li Sheng, "Tomorrow morning at 9:30."

Shi Yuanxing thought for a moment, "Let's postpone the meeting by one day."

Li Sheng: "But... our overseas partners are leaving tomorrow at noon."

Shi Yuanxing immediately made a decision, "Then you will attend the meeting in my place."

Li Sheng on the other end paused for a moment, looking somewhat troubled. "Mr. Shi, with you not here, the other party definitely won't budge on the price."

Shi Yuanxing said, "I'll lower your bottom line by 20 million. You can decide on the specific details. If the other party still doesn't budge, then the cooperation is over."

Li Sheng gasped. This was a project worth over 5 billion yuan, and it had come to the final step. If it didn't work out, would they... just give up?

Seeing that he didn't respond, Shi Yuanxing asked, "Is there a problem?"

"No."

Li Sheng said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Shi, I will definitely come back to see you with the project contract tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll throw you a celebration party when you get back."

Shi Yuanxing said.

He had confidence in the people he had personally selected and trained.

"Mr. Shi, do you have any important plans for tomorrow? I won't be in Jiangcheng. Is there anything you need Xiao Zhang to follow up on?"

As a special assistant, Li Sheng had to take good care of his boss's affairs at all times.

"Need not."

Shi Yuanxing said.

Tomorrow I'm meeting a special and important person, and he has to personally handle all the arrangements.

We cannot rely on others.

Sunday morning at 8:00 AM.

Shi Yuanxing then took the offerings and went to the cemetery with Qin Shuzhi.

Qin Shuzhi's birth mother's grave is located in a secluded part of the cemetery. There is no photo on the tombstone, only some inscriptions and information about the deceased.

Chen Shulan.

This is the name of my late mother-in-law.

Shi Yuanxing laid out the offerings he had brought one by one, and then he and Qin Shuzhi bowed and worshipped together.

"Mother, this is your son-in-law."

Qin Shuzhi introduced it to her mother very seriously.

He then recited in his heart:

Look closely, this is your real son-in-law, not the one I said I would bring to you three years ago.

His name is Shi Yuanxing. He is a very good person and, more importantly, a responsible husband.

Looking at the pile of offerings in front of her, Qin Shuzhi asked, "Is this the first time you've received so many offerings at once?"

Qin Shuzhi glanced at the ramrod straight and humble man beside her before continuing, "These were all offered by your son-in-law. I told him the altar was too small to hold them all, but he wouldn't believe me, and I couldn't persuade him otherwise..."

Shi Yuanxing stood quietly to one side, listening to her talking to her mother as if they were having a casual chat.

She also praised him extensively in front of her mother.

She said she was very lucky to have met him.

He didn't know if his mother heard these words, but he heard them clearly.

She said—

She was very happy to marry him.
