(Multiple Identitities + Pure Love + Favorite of the Group + Face-Slapping + Big Shot) A mission brought Qi Jiu to China, where she became the adopted daughter of the Shen family.
Outside obs...
Qi Jiu: "..." Miscalculation, miscalculation.
"Brother, why are you running so fast? Don't you know how to be gentle with women? I'm wearing high heels right now..."
The little girl who had just spoken hurriedly came over, her voice soft and sweet. Before she could finish speaking, her eyes were already fixed on Qi Jiu.
Suddenly, she grinned, her eyes shining as she looked at Qi Jiu.
"Sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Cui Wenwen!"
"Sister-in-law, are you here to buy something too? Sister-in-law, can I come with you? Sister-in-law, I..."
People used to listen to a chorus of frogs, now they listen to a chorus of "sister-in-law" voices.
Qi Jiu: "..." No, this girl is talking a lot.
For a moment, they were surrounded by Cui Wenwen's voice, so much so that Chu Cangyu couldn't help but pick his ears. If this girl were sent to perform crosstalk, she would definitely have talent; she's talkative and full of jokes.
Qi Silin stared at her, his patience seemingly exhausted. "Shut up."
Then, looking at Qi Jiu, he smiled somewhat awkwardly. "She's a fan of our pairing."
Qi Jiu: "..."
Bystanders: "..."
I thought I was witnessing a scene of carnage, but instead I saw an embarrassing one.
And so, the team that started with five people has now grown to seven. Cui Wenwen, like a little sparrow, kept chirping and chattering beside Qi Jiu.
Qi Silin, who was following beside him, was suddenly abandoned.
They arrived at a luxury perfume store. Upon seeing this, Cui Wenwen was immediately captivated and surrounded by the perfumes.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, smell this, what do you think?"
As she spoke, Cui Wenwen brought over a bottle of perfume. Qi Jiu didn't refuse and sniffed it. Her eyes showed approval of the perfume, but when she looked at Cui Wenwen, she shook her head.
"This fragrance smells wonderful, but I don't think it would suit you. This is just my personal opinion; if you have any other ideas, feel free to consider them."
Cui Wenwen was taken aback, watching the girl slowly approach. "Sister-in-law, you even know about fragrances?"
Speaking of this, Qi Jiu felt the gazes on her, the same fiery stares she received when her identity was exposed.
He shook his head helplessly for a moment, "I know a little, but it's not me. I have a friend who really likes incense, and I learned it from him."
If she could do everything, would she still be a normal human being?
"You scared me to death! I thought you knew all this, sister-in-law—acting, academically gifted, a pharmacist, a representative of the Star and Moon Society, a composer…"
As she spoke, Cui Wenwen shook her head, "Even if you don't understand incense, it's already legendary."
"How about this one?"
Qi Silin brought over a bottle of perfume, its light, sweet fruity scent wafting out, instantly catching Cui Wenwen's eye. She placed it directly in front of Qi Jiu as if presenting a treasure.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, would you like to smell this?"
Qi Jiu nodded. "It suits you very well."
Cui Wenwen was originally a sweet, pampered young lady, and the white pepper flavor from that bottle was a bit too strong for her.
The sweet and fragrant flavor is just right now, not too strong, just perfect.
As she spoke, the people next to her also took a sniff. Although they didn't know much about perfume, they all agreed with Qi Jiu's choice.
"Then this one will do!"
Cui Wenwen looked at the waiter next to her happily. "Please wrap this up for me."
This time, Jiang Xin and the others didn't buy much at the mall, at most they bought some small trinkets. Only Cui Wenwen was carrying large and small bags.
As night fell, Qi Jiu looked at the somewhat familiar gate in front of her and sighed. She had just returned from outside and hadn't expected to have to accept a new identity.
Qi Silin, who was standing next to her, seemed to notice her melancholy. He got out of the car and silently came to her side. Although he didn't say a word, his big hand naturally took hers.
Instantly, a warm feeling washed over me.
The girl turned around, and the man's deep black eyes rushed in.
"Weren't you coming to the Qi family? Why are you so worried? No matter what happens next, I'll be by your side. Don't be afraid, just be yourself."
The housekeeper came out of the old house at some point, and watched the two of them without making a sound to disturb them.
I heard that Qi Silin's parents have gone abroad again, and now only Grandpa Qi lives in the old house.
"Qiqi is here!"
The old man was visibly happy. Although the old house was huge, he was the only owner, which made him somewhat lonely. The entire estate seemed quite desolate.
"Hello, Grandpa Qi."
The little girl handed over the gift in her hand, and Grandpa Qi looked at the rare item in his hand, his eyes crinkling with laughter.
They took Qi Jiu and led her into the house.
"Qiqi, wait a moment, the food is being prepared and will be ready soon."
Although this manor is the old residence of the Qi family, every part of it is well maintained.
Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Qi Jiu pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on Old Master Qi, her emotions unreadable.
Now that she was here, she suddenly knew how to start the conversation.
After the meal, the young girl touched her full stomach, and seeing the old man laughing and joking beside her, she hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Grandpa Qi."
"Hmm, what's wrong, Qiqi? Do you want to eat some fruit?"
The old man saw that the girl looked troubled and was about to turn to say something to the housekeeper when he heard the girl's calm voice.
"No, Grandpa Qi."
"Um?"
"Grandpa Qi, may I make an unreasonable request?"
The little girl's eyes were bright, and her words surprised Old Master Qi. "What's your request? Let me hear it."
Grandpa Qi looked at Qi Jiu and found it amusing. It was the first time he had heard such a statement, where someone would give a heads-up before making a request.
Qi Jiu pursed her lips. "Grandpa Qi, may I go to that side building to take a look?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Qi was stunned, while Qi Silin seemed to have expected it. His expression remained calm, but his eyes were still fixed on Old Master Qi, wanting to see his reaction.
"A side building?"
This request was unexpected. It wasn't that it was impossible, since it wouldn't matter if others went in, but he didn't understand why she wanted to go in, especially since the things inside were...
"Qiqi, can I ask you why you want to go in?" That side building should be where their things are stored.
The girl's next words stunned him.
"It contains what I want, or rather, what belongs to me."
Her voice was calm, but Old Master Qi was anything but. Looking at Qi Jiu, he seemed to understand something as time passed, and his heart began to pound faster.
