In her past life, Qiao Xi was deceived by her wicked stepfather and stepmother, not only causing the death of her most beloved relative but also killing the man who loved her more than life itself!...
But if it really is their offspring, it seems a bit... not fully grown?
“That’s right.” Du Xinyu said again with a serious expression, “I just don’t understand, do all men in this world need to find a woman?”
"No." Qin Yang gave him a very affirmative answer.
Du Xinyu felt that he had finally found someone who understood him, and he was so excited and moved. "That's right, and besides, how can a fine young man like me be corrupted by a woman?"
"No problem." Qin Yang's face was full of approval.
Seeing Du Xinyu sitting there sulking, Qin Yang found him even more amusing and thought to test him by saying, "Since your brother doesn't want to take you in, why don't you stay at my place?"
Du Xinyu's eyes lit up immediately as he asked, "Is it okay?"
Qin Yang warmly invited him, saying, "Sure, I live alone anyway, one more person won't make a difference."
Du Xinyu was overjoyed to hear this. He hadn't actually insisted on staying at Qi Jincheng's place; it was just that his credit card had been frozen since he'd sneaked out, so he was only staying there for free…
If he had any money, he would definitely stay in a hotel.
But now things are much better. Someone is willing to take him in, and they even share the same plight. How wonderful that would be!
Well... even though he's my cousin's friend, I still need to ask him some questions.
Du Xinyu, showing some common sense, asked him, "What do you do?"
"Doctor," Qin Yang answered decisively.
Du Xinyu then asked, "Where do you live?"
“Jinxiu Manor isn’t far from your brother’s place,” Qin Yang said frankly.
Du Xinyu seemed to have seen the place on his way here. "I know where it is."
"Then you..." Qin Yang hadn't heard his answer yet, whether he was willing or not.
"Does it include meals and accommodation?" Du Xinyu asked shamelessly.
Qin Yang couldn't help but chuckle and said generously, "Of course."
"And there's a food court nearby, so you're guaranteed to have something different to eat every day," Qin Yang assured him.
Upon hearing about the food court, Du Xinyu's satisfaction increased significantly, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Great, great, great."
"When can I move in with you?" Du Xinyu asked anxiously.
"Anytime." Qin Yang casually took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Du Xinyu. "My contact information is on this. You can contact me anytime."
Du Xinyu happily accepted it, "Okay, I'll contact you after I get back and pack my things."
"No problem." Qin Yang gave him an OK sign.
Qin Yang rolled up his sleeve slightly to check the time on his watch and said, "I'm going back now. I have things to do at the hospital. Please tell your sister-in-law."
Du Xinyu smiled and waved goodbye to him, saying, "See you later."
Dihua Group.
He Fan went to Qi Jincheng's office at the usual time and asked him what they wanted for lunch.
Upon entering, He Fang saw Qi Jincheng working while eating a pancake. Her first thought was, "The president is hungry!"
He immediately stepped forward and apologized to him, saying, "President, I'm sorry, I'll go prepare lunch for you right away. What would you like to eat?"
Qi Jincheng replied indifferently, "No need, I'm full."
He Fan asked, somewhat incredulously, "We're just eating this pancake?"
He didn't mean that Qi Jincheng couldn't eat biscuits, but rather that he rarely ate such dry rations. In the past, when meetings were delayed, he wouldn't eat bread or anything like that; he would wait for a normal lunch.
Qi Jincheng said with a look of enjoyment and pride, "Yes, Xi'er made it."
Upon hearing this, He Fan suddenly understood!
It's probably only the lady's pancakes that could make the president eat them for lunch, but they really smelled delicious; he could smell them as soon as he entered the door.
He Fan seized the opportunity to praise Qiao Xi, "Madam is amazing, I could smell the fragrance even through the office door."
"There's one more, you can have it." Qi Jincheng generously gave him the last flower cake in the box. Although he was very reluctant, he still reluctantly gave it up, adhering to the spirit of sharing that Qiao Xi had taught him.
He Fan instinctively reached out his hand, but suddenly regained his senses. "No need, this was specially made for you by Madam. How could I accept it?"
"What are you embarrassed about?" Qi Jincheng immediately saw through his little scheme.
He Fan smiled sheepishly, "Since you've put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony."
He then accepted the pastry from the other man with utmost reverence. After taking a bite, his eyes lit up, and he praised without reservation, "President, this is much tastier than what you buy in the pastry shop."
These words displeased Qi Jincheng. "Can anyone compare to Xi'er's cooking skills?"
He Fan echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, Madam's cooking skills are the best in the world."
That's more like it, and that's exactly the case.
Qi Jincheng didn't forget to instruct him, "After you finish eating, have the finance department transfer the remaining funds to Junshang."
"Should we transfer it now?" He Fan asked him to confirm. "The contract states a date within three months, the earliest being the beginning of next month."
Qi Jincheng said clearly and confidently, "Turn around."
Since he had already said so, He Fan didn't ask any more questions. "Yes."
In the evening, at the reopened garden.
After dinner, Du Xinyu suddenly announced, "I've made up my mind. I'm going to move in with Qin Yang."
Qiao Xi had just taken a sip of water to rinse her mouth when she almost spat it out.
She clearly heard what he said, which is why she doubted her ears. "What did you say?"
Du Xinyu then emphasized loudly and clearly, "I'm going to move in with Dr. Qin and live with him."
"When did this happen?" Qiao Xi put down her cup and looked at him with a serious expression.
Du Xinyu was a little puzzled by her question, so Qiao Xi immediately changed her approach, "What I mean is, why did you suddenly decide to move in with Professor Qin?"
"He invited me," Qiao Xi said with a mix of pride and smugness.
Qiao Xi then asked, "When?"
"You went to the restroom just now at the restaurant," Du Xinyu remembered clearly.
Qi Jincheng was the one least aware of the situation, but from what Du Xinyu said, he could roughly guess, "You guys ran into Qin Yang today?"
"Yes." Qiao Xi nodded and told him, "On the way back from the cemetery, we passed a restaurant and had lunch there. Qin Yang happened to be there too."
“He was going on blind dates there,” Du Xinyu added.
Qiao Xi leaned closer to Qi Jincheng and whispered in his ear, "To be precise, it's about resolving trouble."
Qiao Xi and Qi Jincheng both knew about Qin Yang's situation, but Du Xinyu was unaware of it.
