Chapter 294: Women are not allowed to stay in college

Qi Huaijing frowned when he heard this name.

"Still calling me uncle? Am I really that old?"

No man wouldn't mind if the woman he loves thinks he's too old, and Qi Huaijing is no exception. Zhou Shuang is about the same age as Qi Luoyan, so calling him uncle is reasonable, but now that they're married, the feeling is different.

Outside, he was in the prime of his life and very popular. He always felt uncomfortable when Zhou Shuang called him that, as if there were generations between them.

Zhou Shuang's face turned slightly red, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qi Huaijing reached out and gently hooked her chin, staring at her seriously for a long time before saying, "Call me husband."

“…”

Zhou Shuang tried for a few times and finally spoke.

"husband--"

Qi Huaijing was satisfied and coaxed her: "Call me a few more times."

Zhou Shuang's face was already red, and she changed the subject.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

Qi Huaijing saw that she was still embarrassed and stopped teasing her.

"Well, now it's not a surprise anymore."

Surprise? Really? She felt more like she was startled.

She thought it would take a long time for him to come back. During this period, except for herself who knew that Qi Huaijing contacted her on time every day, in the eyes of others, he really seemed to have disappeared.

Even Lin Shu and her great-grandfather didn't dare to ask her about Qi Huaijing. Chen Yi and Chen Xuan were not optimistic about Qi Huaijing at first, and they were worried that he would no longer want her when he didn't come back.

Zhou Shuang found it a little funny when she thought about this. Could it be that in the eyes of her relatives, she just couldn't keep a man's heart?

Qi Huaijing took out the gift he had prepared long ago, a Pop Mart. Zhou Shuang looked at it with complicated eyes.

"Why, you don't like it?"

Zhou Shuang looked at the cute girl he handed over and grinned.

I can’t really tell whether I like it or not, I just feel like it’s weird.

The corners of her lips twitched: "I like it. I like everything you give me."

"I saw this is very popular recently. You girls all like to grab it. It's sold out, so I bought one for you."

Qi Huaijing had never thought of buying this thing. He wanted to beat someone up just by looking at it. Qi Luoyan was the one who said that.

The first thing he did when he returned to Rongcheng was to go to the Qi family to tell them that his elder brother and sister-in-law were getting married to Zhou Shuang, and that they would hold a wedding banquet in Rongcheng at the end of the year.

When Mrs. Qi and Mr. Qi heard the news, they were completely dumbfounded. Qi Luoyan even thought she had misheard. Qi Luohan was also confused, thinking that his uncle would be a bachelor for the rest of his life and had seduced Qi Luoyan's friend away.

"Luo Yan asked you to buy it, right?"

Zhou Shuang realized what was happening. Qi Luoyan had told her about this doll in Rongcheng before and insisted on giving it to her, but she refused it because she thought it was ugly. How come Qi Huaijing was wearing it now?

"Yeah." Qi Huaijing didn't deny it. Zhou Shuang took it and smiled faintly, "I'll give it to her when I get back to Rongcheng. She likes it."

After she said that, she felt a little regretful. After all, Qi Huaijing bought it specially for her. How could she say that she was giving it to someone else? Even if that person was his niece, it didn't seem very nice.

Zhou Shuang secretly glanced at Qi Huaijing and found that he didn't react.

"If I buy something for you, it's yours. You can give it to me if you want."

To be honest, he didn't understand why girls liked this kind of ugly-cute thing. Zhou Shuang didn't seem to care much about it. Qi Luoyan liked it because it suited her taste. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so stupid as to go hiking with a man she had known for less than three days and almost got into danger.

The only good thing his niece did when she was in her twenties was probably to bring him a wife.

"Tell your uncle and aunt everything about us."

Zhou Shuang looked at Qi Huaijing and felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, her ears started burning again. Qi Huaijing nodded, "Yeah, I told my brother and sister-in-law. They were surprised at first, but then they were happy for us."

They listened to the story and asked Qi Huaijing if he was serious or if he had coerced anyone.

Qi Huaijing was not very happy with those two words at that time. After all, he was a wealthy bachelor in Rongcheng. How could it be considered that he coerced Zhou Shuang to marry him? Couldn't it be voluntary?

Qi Huaijing simply described what happened between the two of them. There was nothing earth-shattering about the process. It seemed to happen naturally and a little suddenly.

He couldn't explain why he had the idea of ​​marrying Zhou Shuang after sending her back. Once the Zhou family found out, he became even more worried about leaving her alone in Haicheng.

This is Zhou Shuang's home. If he leaves, the Zhou family will arrange a blind date for Zhou Shuang. Her background and family background are worthy of the Zhou family. He might as well trick her into getting her first.

There was no coercion, just some coaxing and trickery. But at least it's my own home now.

"Oh, then, did Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law say anything?"

It felt awkward to call them "big brother" and "sister-in-law". In less than a month, the difference in their titles had changed to a different generation. Qi Luoyan had become her niece. Zhou Shuang felt it was awkward to call her that, as they were obviously the same age.

"No, ask me when I can take you back."

This time he came and wanted to take Zhou Shuang directly to Rongcheng, and then go back to Haicheng together to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. After that, he would return to Rongcheng in two weeks.

After Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi accepted the news of his marriage, they began to prepare for the wedding without stopping, booking hotels, and notifying relatives and friends. Qi Huaijing suggested that it should not be too exaggerated, but was strongly opposed by Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi. They felt that Qi Huaijing was getting married after all the hard work, and he should at least let the clan members celebrate together.

It should have lasted for three days and three nights. Qi Huaijing knew that he couldn't convince them with their high emotions, so he just let them go.

Originally he wanted to keep things simple, as getting married was too tiring.

"oh--"

Zhou Shuang's brain had frozen. She had been unable to think since she saw Qi Huaijing, and now she could only follow his emotions.

Qi Huaijing was still waiting for the next words, but all he got was a single interjection from Zhou Shuang. He sighed inwardly and took her hand.

"Let's go back inside and talk. It's cold outside."

Zhou Shuang obediently followed him upstairs to her room.

After not seeing her for a week, Qi Huaijing missed this girl very much. She was only up to his chin, so petite and delicate. He thought it would be nice to hold her in his arms, so he hugged her gently.

Zhou Shuang trembled, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around his broad back. Qi Huaijing held her gently in his arms, like a doll. She was indeed very small, just right for him.

"Uncle..."

Zhou Shuang called out unconsciously. Qi Huaijing's voice came from above her head, muffled: "Hmm? What are you calling?"

"husband."

She almost died, and buried her head in his chest, refusing to pull it out even if she died.

She thought he would be angry, but unexpectedly he just hooked her chin and said lightly: "Have you had dinner?"

Zhou Shuang nodded.

She had already eaten, and then looked at Qi Huaijing as if she remembered something.

"And you?"

Qi Huaijing smiled: "Of course, I'm anxious to come back to see you. Tomorrow I want to take you to Rongcheng. My elder brother and sister-in-law want to meet you."

He didn't say that Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi had something to say to her and wanted to give her a gift. Qi Luoyan, in particular, was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

Zhou Shuang hesitated: "I haven't told Mommy and the others yet."

Qi Huaijing looked at her: "What if I don't come?"

“…”

The Zhou family must be extremely worried.

Zhou Shuang naturally wouldn't say anything, but instead looked at him and asked, "Can you?"

Qi Huaijing patted her head lovingly: "No, I gave so much gift, it can't be wasted."

Zhou Shuang was touched for only a second, and her chest was suddenly choked with a breath.

"So you can't bear to part with the betrothal gifts. Just take them. I don't want them."

Zhou Shuang was a little angry, not knowing whether what he said was true or not.

Qi Huaijing looked at her angry expression, his chest shaking uncontrollably. Zhou Shuang looked up again and found that he was trying hard to hold back his laughter, and felt a little annoyed.

"why are you laughing."

He hooked her chin and said, "A mere betrothal gift can bring back a beautiful woman, it's worth it."

Zhou Shuang originally thought that the couple's conversation was quite normal, and Qi Huaijing was also normal, until his expression looked like that of a flower thief.

"If you find it difficult to bring it up, I'll go with you."

The next second he changed the subject and saved Zhou Shuang from embarrassment and helplessness.

"Need not."

Zhou Shuang quickly interrupted him: "I'll just go and tell them, Mommy and the others won't stop me."

If he didn't come, Chen Yi, Chen Xuan, and even Great Grandfather would probably take her to Rongcheng, or tie Qi Huaijing back to Haicheng to see what was going on.

The two chatted for a while, and Qi Huaijing saw that it was getting dark. "It's getting late, go to bed early. I plan to leave early tomorrow. It will take three hours to get to Rongcheng by private plane, and I still have a lot of things to do when I get there."

Zhou Shuang nodded. She was still nervous when she went to the room. It was not until Qi Huaijing went to take a shower that she felt at ease listening to the sound of running water.

Qi Huaijing showered for half an hour and came out. Zhou Shuang had already fallen asleep.

Although I had anticipated this ending, I was still a little disappointed.

He ran thousands of kilometers and spent so much time chatting with her, thinking that he could enhance their relationship. He lifted the quilt and held her in his arms. Zhou Shuang rubbed him habitually, then hugged his waist directly.

Qi Huaijing's whole body was tense, but Zhou Shuang was sleeping soundly.

Looking at her innocent sleeping face, Qi Huaijing bent down and kissed her forehead.

As expected, she is still a child. He suddenly felt that he should not have any evil thoughts about her. Zhou Shuang was too pure and clean at this moment. Qi Huaijing felt that if he touched her, he would not be a good person.

The night was long, and he held her motionlessly until he was sure that she was really asleep. Then he got up and went into the bathroom again. This time he took a thorough cold shower to wash away the restlessness in his body. Only after he returned to normal did he snuggle back into the quilt and hold her tightly.

He heard her mutter, "Daddy—"

She then said something else, but Qi Huaijing didn't hear it clearly. However, in the moonlight, he saw tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Silly child—"

Qi Huaijing bent down and kissed away her tears, then quietly held her tightly in his arms.

The two of them slept like this until dawn. When Zhou Shuang opened her eyes, there was no one next to her. She didn't know when she fell asleep, nor did she feel Qi Huaijing get up. She touched her side and there was still some warmth.

She quickly got up and went downstairs, not knowing where Qi Huaijing had gone, perhaps to exercise or—

Until she heard a noise coming from the kitchen, Zhou Shuang slowly walked over there and finally saw Qi Huaijing.

He also heard the voice and looked up just in time to see Zhou Shuang.

"I'm up. I made breakfast. Come and eat."

Millet porridge, fried dumplings, freshly ground soy milk, toast and eggs.

So he didn't sleep just to get up and make breakfast for her?

Zhou Shuang walked to the table in the restaurant. Qi Huaijing pulled out a chair for her and placed her portion in front of him.

"Coffee or milk, soy milk is ready."

Zhou Shuang looked at the soy milk and said, "I'll just eat this."

Looking at the noodles that were still rising, he wondered if he was going to fry the dough sticks as well.

"Don't bother, I can't eat that much."

Did he feed her like a pig? Qi Huaijing pinched her face and said, "No, you're too thin."

If she wants to have a child, she needs to gain weight first.

Zhou Shuang has a nice figure, but she's too thin.

In fact, she ate the most when she was with Qi Huaijing.

Zhou Shuang also pinched her face: "Is there?"

The childish use of the word made Qi Huaijing unable to suppress the curve of his lips.

"When we get back to Rongcheng, I'll cook your favorite food for you every day."

Otherwise, she will suffer when she gets pregnant in the future.

Zhou Shuang stopped talking and ate quietly.

Lin Shu and the old man were still waiting for her at the old house. Zhou Shuang would accompany them for dinner every day, but today she was late.

Chen Yi and Chen Xuan put their heads together and whispered.

"Did you say yesterday that Qi might not come? My sister was sad."

Chen Xuan rolled her eyes at Chen Yi.

"That's what you said. Didn't you say before that she wasn't worthy of the eldest sister?"

Lin Shu was chatting with the old man when he heard two children quarreling in low voices.

"What are you two doing again?"

It's really troublesome, not as good as Shuangshuang.

Lin Shu sighed. Shuangshuang would never bother her when she was in her teens, but Chenyi and Chenxuan were like chatterboxes who hadn't spoken in several lifetimes, especially Chenyi. No one would hear him say a few words outside, but when he came back, he would quarrel with Chenxuan for days on end.

Lin Shu simply had no idea who these two children looked like. Zhou Yanli was not a talkative person, and she was calm and quiet by nature. How could she have given birth to two parrots?

"nothing."

Chen Yi felt guilty: "Why don't you call my sister?"

"Go ahead and hit me."

The two pushed and shoved each other, and Zhou Shuang and Qi Huaijing arrived.

"Mommy, Great Grandpa. Huai Jing said he wanted to come see you, but we're late."

Seeing Qi Huaijing, Chen Yi and Chen Xuan's faces were filled with visible joy.

It only lasted for three seconds, and Chen Yi immediately returned to his indifference, and Chen Xuan also restrained herself.

"Good to be here, come and have breakfast with me."

Old Master Zhou's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled, and Lin Shu probably guessed what he was thinking.

"I think they don't need to eat anymore. Tell me, are we going to Rongcheng?"

Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up.

Zhou Shuang nodded awkwardly. Qi Huaijing said, "You're welcome." "I'm here to ask my mother-in-law for her opinion. The people in the clan want to see Shuangshuang. I want to take her back to Rongcheng."

Chen Yi and Chen Xuan wanted to say something, but they swallowed the words back when they reached their lips.

Eldest sister's happiness is the most important, the two of them are enough.

Lin Shu looked at them and said, "I have no objection. Just remember to come back and hold the wedding banquet at the end of the year."
