Chapter 77 Before, when Qin Ren went out to play...

In the past, when Qin Ren went out to play, he would often encounter young men and women who asked for his contact information.

Even when he was with other people, there would still be people who would bite the bullet and try to strike up a conversation with him.

Now that SuSu is here, Qin Ren rarely encounters such situations when he takes SuSu out.

Before, when Qin Ren was with Liu Qingyue, no one knew they were a young married couple.

Now that Qin Ren is taking Su Su out to play, Su Su's eyes look a bit like his, so Qin Ren has become a blatant stay-at-home dad.

Seeing that Qin Ren was already taken and had a baby, the girls would wisely stop bothering him on the street, which Qin Ren found quite nice.

He's not really a sociable person, especially when facing strangers; he's usually quite aloof.

Only those who are familiar with him will find him easy to get along with and think he is a good person.

On this day, Qin Ren took the children out to play as usual; they went to the city's aquarium.

Susu is still young. He only watches things for novelty and doesn't care about the specifics of what he's watching.

Sometimes, he can stare at someone on the roadside for a long time without finding it annoying.

Qin Ren thought that he had been to the park, the botanical garden, and the amusement park, and it was time to change things up.

For example, visiting aquariums, museums, or some scenic spots.

Because they were short on time today, Qin Ren didn't take him too far, and they just went to the aquarium in the city.

When the two children returned from outside, Liu Qingyue and Qin Lianrui had just returned as well.

Qin Lianrui had dyed her hair blue, and Qin Ren couldn't help but say something to her when he saw it.

"When you go back to your hometown, aren't you worried that your parents will beat you?"

Qin Lianrui said to him, "I won't go back until the New Year. I'll dye it back then."

She's still afraid of being beaten by her parents, so she's only doing so because they're not around. She'll behave herself as soon as she goes back for the New Year.

Qin Ren nodded, ignoring her concerns, and turned to look at Liu Qingyue.

Liu Qingyue: "How was it? Did the baby cry when you went out?"

Qin Ren: "I cried once because he took a liking to a girl's hat and insisted that I follow her and stare at it. I'm a grown man, and she's a girl. If I followed her with my child, I would look like a pervert, so naturally I didn't agree."

Then Susu cried once, but it was all bark and no bite, so Qin Ren didn't continue to indulge him.

Liu Qingyue was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. He leaned closer to Susu and asked, "Are you a little rascal?"

Susu couldn't understand what he was saying, but seeing him smiling at her, she just grinned foolishly at him.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyue picked him up and immediately felt that he was much heavier.

"Oh no, he's gained weight again. Kids shouldn't be too fat. The last time I took him to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor advised that he shouldn't be too fat."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lianrui said, "I understand. I'll be more careful when I feed him next time."

The nanny nodded, intending to feed the child less.

Unaware that her food rations would be reduced, Su Su was happily snuggling up to Liu Qingyue.

After putting the child to sleep, Liu Qingyue returned to her home on the top floor with Qin Ren.

With Qin Lianrui and the nanny taking care of her, and Su Su being much further along in her pregnancy, the two of them weren't as worried as before.

Qin Ren took Liu Qingyue's hand and returned to their home, where only they lived.

Qin Ren wouldn't be back until evening, so he simply found an apron and prepared to cook something delicious for Liu Qingyue.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyue said with concern, "You're so tired every day, why do you still have to cook for yourself?"

It's not like he has no one to cook for him; besides, he can cook for himself now.

Qin Ren: "No matter how delicious Qin Lianrui's cooking is, you'll get tired of it if you eat it too much. I haven't cooked for you in a long time, and I think you might want to try something different."

Qin Ren is a pretty good cook, especially when they first met a few years ago.

At that time, Liu Qingyue had just experienced a famine, and he and his family had been starving for a long time.

He thought Qin Ren's cooking was exceptionally delicious.

After they got together, Qin Ren would occasionally cook for him.

It's just a pity that as Qin Ren got busier and busier, he rarely cooked for him anymore.

Liu Qingyue: "Then I'll go with you. I don't want you to work too hard."

Qin Ren: "It's not hard at all. I just took the child for a short walk today. It's not hard at all."

He can relax along with the kids when we take them out to play during the day.

When he came home in the evening, he cooked a meal for his wife. How could such a life be hard?

Cooking together made Qin Ren feel happy, and so did Liu Qingyue.

Some people believe that a passionate, dramatic love affair, or a life-or-death separation, is what makes love truly blissful.

However, some people feel that happiness is simply being together peacefully and without any major upheavals.

Qin Ren was a pragmatic person who never had any great ambitions in his life.

All I ask for is peace and a comfortable life.

Now that he has a wife and a lovely baby, he feels that his life is perfect.

Perhaps because the atmosphere was so pleasant today, Liu Qingyue was very reluctant to let Qin Ren leave in the evening.

Liu Qingyue took Qin Ren's hand and said, "Don't go back tonight."

Qin Ren nodded upon hearing this; he didn't necessarily have to go back.

It was rare for Liu Qingyue to speak up, and he always found it hard to refuse her.

Besides, he also misses his sweet and soft wife very much.

If it weren't for the bad climate in his fiefdom, he would have liked to be able to hold his wife all the time.

When they rested at night, Liu Qingyue kissed Qin Ren's cheek very warmly.

Once to the left, once to the right.

Qin Ren looked at him with amusement and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you only kiss my cheek?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue climbed onto Qin Ren's chest. He looked down at Qin Ren and said, "It's nothing, I just think you're handsome."

Qin Ren had always known that Liu Qingyue was attracted to good looks. The reason she readily agreed to marry Qin Ren was because he was a handsome man.

Qin Ren reached out and steadied him, asking, "Well, tell me, were you already eyeing me from the beginning?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue's eyes darted around. "I... I'm a young man, an unmarried young man. The moment you saw me, you... you were like that. It's perfectly normal for me to think about marrying you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ren considered the situation from Liu Qingyue's perspective.

That makes sense, he's from ancient times, and he's an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy.

If I were to encounter something like that again, my first reaction would definitely be to want to marry him, which is perfectly understandable.

However, Liu Qingyue's biggest problem was that she later deliberately concealed her identity.

He said he was a man, and he interacted with Qin Ren naturally as a man.

Thinking of this, Qin Ren gripped Liu Qingyue's fingers and tightened his grip slightly.

His strength was so little that it wouldn't hurt Liu Qingyue at all; it would only let her know his emotions.

Liu Qingyue was indeed aware of his emotions, and said somewhat reluctantly, "I... I had no choice. I was a little unwilling to marry you because you were a merchant at that time, and also a very scary foreigner. I thought I would keep my identity a secret from you for the time being, so that I would be safer by your side."

At this point, Liu Qingyue pointed her finger at Qin Ren's forehead.

"What do you mean? You're still thinking about this little thing?"

"It's not that I was thinking about you, it's just that I belatedly realized that you had tricked me."

"What, are you feeling wronged? You think you're at a disadvantage by marrying me?"

“I’m not wronged. I’m a foreigner and a businessman. It’s my blessing to marry you.”

Seeing that Qin Ren was quite sensible, Liu Qingyue smiled again.

He wasn't really questioning Qin Ren about anything, and he knew Qin Ren wasn't really holding a grudge against him either.

Seeing Qin Ren playing along with his antics, he felt not only happy but also blissful.

He liked this about Qin Ren; he would cooperate with whatever Qin Ren did, and Qin Ren was a lover who would never disappoint him.
