The elite men Qiao Qing had dated were all either rich or noble. If they didn't possess all three — wealth, beauty, and power — they weren't her targets.
Her motto was: A clever h...
Qiao's father and mother left Qianyu and looked at each other in bewilderment.
At that time, my rationality was completely overwhelmed by anger, and I forgot the purpose of coming here.
After returning home, he thought about it over and over again, and felt that this matter could not be let go. The main reason was that Ji Qingyi's identity brought too much pressure on them.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao went to find Mr. Qiao and told him what had happened today with some exaggeration.
Mr. Qiao also understood Qiao's father and mother, and he just listened to the matter and didn't care much about it.
Although Mr. Qiao was not very ambitious and not very proficient in business, he still loved his youngest son.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to their outrageous ideas before.
Mr. Qiao’s original plan was that if Qiao Qing really couldn’t pass the test.
Then he would make other arrangements for Qiao Qing. Having watched Qiao Qing grow up over the years, he knew that people are all made of flesh and blood. He couldn't be as cruel as Qiao's father and mother.
Especially as we get older, our hearts become softer.
Mr. Qiao was naturally very curious about this so-called President Yuanheng.
All business matters have been handed over to the younger generation and are not given much attention.
It’s just that Qiao Qing is his granddaughter and now she’s looking for a boyfriend. As an elder, he still wants to know whether this boy is worthy of Qiao Qing.
So he picked up his phone and called Qiao Qing, asking her to bring Ji Qingyi home when she had time to let the old man see him.
Qiao Qing still respected Mr. Qiao very much. Although he felt that this relationship was not very stable, he still agreed, and Mr. Qiao hung up the phone with satisfaction.
After Ji Qingyi and Qiao Qing confirmed their relationship, they did not often stay in Qianyu Company.
When it comes to Yuanheng’s affairs, he often needs to show up in person.
In the evening, when the two of them were having dinner together, Qiao Qing had time to be alone with Ji Qingyi.
Qiao Qing looked at the dish in front of him, hesitated for a while, and did not move his hand holding the chopsticks. He looked at Ji Qingyi and said slowly.
"Qingyi, I want to discuss something with you."
Ji Qingyi was a little confused, "Well, what's the matter?"
Seeing Qiao Qing's sad face, he couldn't help but laugh, "What's so worthy of your entanglement?"
Qiao Qing put down her chopsticks, held her fair little face in her hands, and looked at Ji Qingyi with a smile.
"My grandpa wants to see you, are you happy?"
The mischief in his eyes was obvious.
Ji Qingyi was stunned, a hint of surprise appeared on his handsome face, and then he behaved very calmly.
"When?"
He had investigated Qiao Qing's background thoroughly, and he was also aware of the position that Old Man Qiao held in Qiao Qing's heart, so he still respected the old man very much.
Now it was Qiao Qing's turn to be confused. She asked with some dissatisfaction, "Aren't you afraid at all?"
Ji Qingyi's bony hands picked up a bite of food for Qiao Qing with chopsticks, his eyes smiled like a dark moon, and he said with some amusement: "It's just a meeting, he's not some ferocious beast, there's nothing to be afraid of."
He pointed at the food in front of him and said, "Eat quickly, or it will get cold."
It's December now and the temperature is a bit low.
Qiao Qing picked up the chopsticks reluctantly, "Meeting the parents, shouldn't I be nervous and scared when meeting the parents? How come you are so calm?"
Her expression suddenly became serious, as if she realized something.
"So you don't care about me, so you don't care or worry about my grandfather's impression of you."
Ji Qingyi reached across the table and tapped Qiao Qing's forehead lightly with his knuckles.
Her smile was as warm as the sunshine in July and August, and she said in a gentle voice, "I don't know what you are thinking about in your little head every day."
Qiao Qing refused to give in and quickly replied, "What can I think about? Isn't it just you?"
She winked at Ji Qingyi playfully, supporting her chin with both hands, and looked at Ji Qingyi's reaction expectantly, "Are you touched?"
This was so unexpected.
Ji Qingyi coughed uncomfortably and quickly changed the subject: "Let's eat, let's talk about this after dinner."
Qiao Qing wanted to say something else, but just opened his mouth.
Ji Qingyi fed her a bite of food.
"Well, this dish tastes pretty good, you try it."
Qiao Qing chewed it and nodded affirmatively, "Well, it tastes good."
After she finished eating, she saw Ji Qingyi's ears were a little red, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. After looking at him for a few more times, she smiled brightly and teased, "Ji Qingyi, are you shy?"
The words are questions, but the speech is very affirmative.
Ji Qingyi fed Qiao Qing another mouthful of food, picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water. After taking a sip, he pretended to be calm and said, "If it tastes good, eat more."
Then he poured a cup for Qiao Qing as well.
Qiao Qing smiled. Her bright and lively eyes were always looking at Ji Qingyi. She took the water poured by Ji Qingyi with her slender white hands and took a sip, smiling happily.
Ji Qingyi's ears turned even redder, but the expression on his face did not change, he still looked calm.
Qiao Qing laughed for a long time, then restrained his smile.
She ate two more bites of food and changed the subject: "You are so calm, have you been prepared for a long time?"
Ji Qingyi was very puzzled and asked: "Shouldn't we have prepared it long ago?"
After he confirmed his relationship with Qiao Qing, he thought about meeting his parents.
Qiao's father and mother don't have a very good relationship with Qiao Qing, but he can't figure out Qiao Qing's thoughts and is not sure whether it will affect the relationship between him and Qiao Qing, so he finds out their preferences.
And Mr. Qiao is someone Qiao Qing cares about, so he naturally pays more attention to him.
So when he heard that Mr. Qiao wanted to see him, he was not actually surprised, but was just surprised that the time seemed a little too fast.
Qiao Qing was a little surprised by Ji Qingyi's attitude, but then he smiled, very happy.
"Just be ready."
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Ji Qingyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you curious about what I have prepared?"
Qiao Qing was eating his meal. "I trust you to do the job. There's nothing to worry about. And since you're meeting my grandfather, I'm certainly not afraid that you won't be well prepared."
While eating, he muttered nonchalantly: "If I don't have a good impression, I'll just change it."
Ji Qingyi heard every word of this.
"That may disappoint you, but I will be prepared and very well prepared."
He smiled and continued, "When the time comes, even if you want to change one, grandpa won't agree."
Qiao Qing raised his eyes slightly, "Okay, you actually came up with such an idea."
She rolled her eyes and said, "It's not impossible, but I don't really believe that my grandfather likes you more than he likes me."
Ji Qingyi curled his lips, "Then do you want to take a gamble? If you tell grandpa that you want to change your boyfriend, see if he agrees."
Qiao Qing suddenly felt competitive and said confidently, "Let's bet."
She also wanted to see how confident Ji Qingyi was in saying such things.
The corners of Ji Qingyi's mouth curved upward, but soon it retracted. He said seriously, "If we're betting, we need to have a stake."
"Um."
Qiao Qing nodded, and asked with doubt in his eyes: "What do you think the bet is?"
Ji Qingyi put down his chopsticks, looked at Qiao Qing with his dark eyes and said, "Whoever loses will agree to one thing. What do you think?"
Qiao Qing didn't even think about it and agreed directly, "Okay."
Ji Qingyi's lips curved very gently, and he teased, "Aren't you afraid that I'll ask you to do something? You agreed so quickly."
Qiao Qing raised his eyebrows, "I am confident in my grandfather."
Ji Qing also smiled but said nothing.
He turned and looked out the window.
The air conditioner was on in the restaurant, and the transparent glass was covered with a layer of mist. The night view of the city that could be seen clearly before was no longer visible.
He stretched out his bony fingers and drew a few things on the window.
Qiao Qing looked at his actions and smiled slightly.
"How can you be so childish? This is something children do."
As she spoke, she also stretched out her hand and drew a heart next to what he had drawn.
Ji Qingyi raised his eyebrows, and he drew two letters in front and behind the heart.
q (love)j
"no."
Qiao Qing was not satisfied, so she drew a heart again.
Also draw two letters before and after the heart.
j (love)q
She felt satisfied no matter how she looked at it, and her lips slowly curled up.
Turning to Ji Qingyi, he asked, "Do you think this is better?"
Ji Qingyi shook his head and smiled indulgently, "Everything you draw is good."
Qiao Qing chuckled and said proudly, "Even if my painting is not good, you still have to say it is good."
Ji Qingyi nodded in agreement, "Yes, you are right."
Qiao Qing smiled, "Perfunctory."
Qiao Qing just joked that Ji Qingyi was just a child. The two of them were so childish.
After dinner, I came out and found it was snowing outside.
The night sky is shining white.
“Wow, so beautiful.”
Qiao Qing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
She opened her white, soft palms and received a snowflake, which melted in her warm hands, but it could not stop her joy and surprise.
“It’s actually snowing.”
It rarely snows in the south, and it may even snow only once a year.
Ji Qingyi looked at it and nodded, "Yeah, I didn't expect that either."
He reached out his hand and held Qiao Qing's, and asked with concern: "The temperature is very low today, is it cold?"
Qiao Qing smiled brightly. She held Ji Qingyi tightly and said with a smile, "It's not very cold. I'm wearing more clothes today, and your palms are very warm."
Ji Qingyi pursed her lips and chuckled, but didn't respond.
He looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and said slowly, "I used to think that watching the snow with someone I love is a very romantic thing."
Qiao Qing was puzzled, "Why did you feel that before? Don't you feel that now?"
She pursed her lips and said unhappily, "So it's not romantic to watch the snow with me?"
"That's not what I meant."
Ji Qingyi smiled bitterly, "Am I not laying the groundwork?"
He continued: "I mean, now I feel that doing anything with you is a very romantic thing."
There is burning affection in his eyes.
Qiao Qing could feel Ji Qingyi's seriousness.
She stretched out her hands to hug Ji Qingyi's waist, raised her little face and said with a bright smile: "What a coincidence, I think so too."
Snowflakes fell on the two of them, but they didn't feel the cold at all, because each other's smiles were exceptionally warm.
Ji Qingyi drove over. After sending Qiao Qing home, he went home himself.
He opened the door and looked at the empty villa, then sighed leisurely.
I felt that it was necessary to bring Qiao Qing home as soon as possible.
