Qin Zheng grabbed him and forcibly pulled Gu Jin's arm back to the edge of the kang (heated brick bed).
"What exactly do you want?!"
Unable to leave, Gu Jin sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) staring intently at Qin Zheng, her eyes filled with a cynical and murderous glint.
What sins did he commit to deserve this? He can't get a wife and yet he gets to be flaunted here!
"Alright, Qin Zheng, stop teasing him."
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Zheng grinned sheepishly, "Honey, I'm sharing some good news with him."
Gu Jin rolled her eyes.
No, he didn't want to hear it!
"You two talk first."
Ye Yun thought it was inappropriate for her to be present while the two men were chatting, so she told Qin Zheng and Gu Jin and then turned and left.
"Qin Zheng, is your wife really pregnant?"
After watching Ye Yun leave, Gu Jin cast a questioning glance at Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng took a leisurely sip of water from his enamel cup, his eyes slightly arrogant, and his steady voice slowly corrected him: "Your focus should be on the fact that I'm about to become a father. Are you envious?"
Gu Jin clicked his tongue; how could he not be envious?
He's about the same age as Qin Zheng, but he doesn't even have a girlfriend yet, while Qin Zheng is about to become a father. It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others!
Qin Zheng casually asked, "Isn't your family arranging blind dates for you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jin quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't mention it. The arrangements my family makes are always just a little bit off. Maybe there's something wrong with me. Anyway, I don't like any of the ones my family arranges."
"It's not that you're the problem."
"Hmm?" Gu Jin seemed intrigued. "Qin Zheng, do you have any insights?"
"There's something wrong with your family."
Qin Zheng put down his enamel mug and looked Gu Jin up and down. "You know how rebellious you are. Regardless of whether the girl is good or not, first of all, it was arranged by your parents, so you've already rejected her in your mind. Do you think my analysis is correct?"
sure.
Gu Jin couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised, "No wonder you were able to get a wife; you can see that clearly."
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "So, it's up to you to decide what kind of partner you want."
"become."
Gu Jin casually agreed.
He genuinely had no desire to get married before. He always felt that whether or not he got married was just another matter, and that marriage would only bring more trouble. He preferred to be single and carefree.
But seeing Qin Zheng made me envious.
What if Qin Zheng's kids are old enough to run errands by then, and he's still a bachelor? How embarrassing would that be for him among his friends?
"Qin Zheng, your wife is a woman. Tell me if she has any good female friends."
"..."
Qin Zheng chose to remain silent.
Aside from Tian Xiaohui and Ye Xue, he doesn't think he's ever seen any other girls around his wife, and there's no need to introduce these two.
"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."
Gu Jin seemed to suddenly remember something, and her expression turned serious as she said, "Xu Longsheng's father has been acting strangely these past few days. He hasn't come to work for several days. I heard something happened at home."
oh?
Qin Zheng seemed to have become somewhat interested.
Ye Yun had just brought some food to take inside for them when she saw Gu Jin mention Xu Longsheng's name, and she looked at him with a puzzled expression.
This father of Xu Longsheng will likely become a stumbling block in Qin Zheng's work in the future.
Just then, a commotion came from outside the window. Ye Yun heard the noise, hurriedly put the wild fruits she had just washed down next to Qin Zheng's bed, and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Qin Zheng replied, "Okay."
In the courtyard, Qin Xiang'e, carrying an iron basin for washing vegetables, stared blankly at the mother and daughter who were smiling as they walked up the slope outside.
"Is this Qin Zheng and Ye Yun's house?"
Liu Meilan forced a smile.
Qin Xiang'e stared blankly, not daring to agree immediately. But then she thought, why did this mother and daughter look so familiar?
"Auntie, who's here..."
Ye Yun stepped out of the house, and before she could finish speaking, she saw Liu Meilan and Ye Xue standing at her front door, and she couldn't help but be taken aback.
Oh? A weasel is paying New Year's greetings to a chicken?
"Oh my! Yun girl! It really is you! It was so hard for your aunt to find your house! Your sister and I were exhausted!" Liu Meilan's face lit up with a smile the moment she saw Ye Yun.
Ye Yun frowned. "What are you two doing here?"
Liu Meilan immediately clicked her tongue, "Silly girl, what do you think your aunt can do here? It's just that I heard Qin... you're pregnant. According to etiquette, your maternal family should come and visit you. I'm practically your mother, so I brought your sister and bought some things to come and see you!"
Oh? They're really that kind?
If Ye Jian'an had also come, Ye Yun could still believe that Liu Meilan, who was only with Ye Xue, was genuinely there to see her.
"They're in-laws!"
Qin Xiang'e then recognized Liu Meilan and quickly greeted her warmly, explaining that she had seen her in Yejiagou before, but this time she was accompanied by a young woman, which was why she hadn't recognized her.
Ye Yun tugged at the corner of her lips.
It's perfectly normal not to recognize that one.
Look at what Liu Meilan is wearing today: a bright red jacket, her hair combed so neatly it almost reflects light, and a pair of brand-new cloth shoes. If it weren't for her face, which looks like she's over forty, you'd think she was a newlywed bride just by looking at her clothes.
Qin Xiang'e had already led Liu Meilan and Ye Xue into her home and greeted them warmly.
Liu Meilan smiled and politely greeted Qin Xiang'e, even handing her a bag of eggs, which surprised Ye Yun.
Even if the sun rose in the west, would her stingy auntie still give her eggs?
Thinking of this, Ye Yun suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that the mother and daughter came prepared?
