The car came to a smooth stop in front of the Ouyang residence. Qin Shengyi opened the car door and got out as usual, but was surprised to find that Mu Yichen also got out of the car, carrying several gift boxes.
“These were all entrusted to me by my parents to be given to my uncle and aunt.”
Qin Shengyi nodded in understanding, and then reached out to take it, but Mu Yichen dodged it at the last moment.
"I'll go in with you and say hello to your parents while I'm at it."
Watching Mu Yichen resolutely walk inside, Qin Shengyi unconsciously frowned.
It's just a formality, is it really necessary to go to such lengths?
But seeing that it was too late to stop it, Qin Shengyi sighed helplessly and then took a step to follow.
"Yichen, you're here!" Qin Yao was the only one sitting on the sofa in the living room. Upon seeing the newcomer, she immediately stood up and greeted him warmly.
"Hello, Auntie," Mu Yichen nodded politely to Qin Yao, then handed over the items, "These are nutritional supplements that my parents specially brought back from abroad!"
Qin Yao naturally expressed her gratitude, then turned to instruct the housekeeper to accept the money. When she turned back, Qin Shengyi, who was walking behind her, also entered the living room.
"How was your date today?"
Mu Yichen turned and looked at Qin Shengyi gently, then replied softly, "It went very smoothly. I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. I think I should thank Shengyi for this."
Feeling uncomfortable under that gaze, Qin Shengyi's expression turned somewhat awkward. He thought to himself that this act was going a bit too far, and couldn't help but regret not stopping the person in time.
This interaction put Qin Yao at ease, and she nodded in satisfaction.
She had initially worried that Nannan might deliberately cause trouble because she couldn't let go of Xu Yanshu, but now it seems that the two of them are getting along very well.
“My son Shengyi is young and may sometimes be immature. Please be understanding and take care of him in the future.”
Why bring this up?
Qin Shengyi glanced at her mother with some dissatisfaction. Her words made it sound as if she was about to marry Mu Yichen, when he had clearly said that they were just trying to get to know each other first.
“Auntie, you’re too kind. Shengyi is actually very outstanding, and I will definitely do my best to protect her.” This kind of advice made Mu Yichen vaguely realize that Qin Yao had a good impression of him, which gave him more confidence. He then readily agreed.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"
Qin Yao nodded in agreement. "Okay, come visit again when you have time!"
Why can't we be this friendly to Brother Yan Shu?
Looking at her kind and gentle mother, Qin Shengyi couldn't help but feel a little resentful. She felt that Mu Yichen was not necessarily much better than Yan Shu. Was it just because he had a strong background?
“It’s obvious that Mu Yichen likes you a lot,” Qin Yao said to herself as the mother and daughter sat down on the sofa one after the other, then changed the subject, “And what about you? What’s your impression of him?”
You could tell after just one meeting?
Qin Shengyi's eye twitched involuntarily, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should praise Mu Yichen's superb acting skills.
"I……"
As if suddenly remembering something, Qin Yao nodded to herself, "I suppose you have a pretty good impression of him, otherwise you wouldn't have agreed to go to the concert with him."
Although the Mu family's business is not as good as the Ouyang family's, the Mu family has a clean family tradition, and Mu Yichen's reputation has always been good.
If they can successfully reach the point of discussing marriage, then it would certainly be a good match.
Yes!
Qin Shengyi nodded with a forced smile, not wanting to waste time continuing the charade, and immediately made an excuse that he was tired and turned back to his room upstairs.
So, can she really sever all ties with Xu Yanshu?
Qin Yao narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, a strange unease creeping into her heart.
She originally wanted Shengyi and Muyichen to develop their relationship gradually, but now her ideas have changed. To avoid any unforeseen complications, she should perhaps speed up the pace of the two young people's relationship.
...
Being unfamiliar with Chengdu and feeling incredibly bored, Xie Huanyu had no choice but to call Zhou Zehao and ask him to come out.
"Don't be discouraged! As long as they don't get married, you have a chance to overtake them!"
The words carried a hint of sarcasm, and Xie Huanyu frowned in displeasure. She looked up coldly at Zhou Zehao sitting opposite her, who shrugged noncommittally before speaking again.
“I’m telling the truth! I think you should know that the Ouyang family doesn’t really like Xu Yanshu, and Qin Shengyi has already started going on blind dates.”
A blind date?
Xie Huanyu was slightly taken aback, and a few doubts arose in her heart.
Since they've already started going on blind dates, why would Qin Shengyi still go to Xu Yanshu's studio? Does Yanshu know about the blind dates?
“I know her current blind date. He’s determined to get Qin Shengyi.”
Zhou Zehao raised an eyebrow with interest. "So I think it's too early for you to give up now, or are you really willing to stop here?"
Anyway, no matter how this matter develops, it won't affect him. As an observer, the more people get involved, the bigger the spectacle he'll see.
Zhou Zehao subtly curled his lips; in short, he didn't want to see Xu Yanshu living such a peaceful life.
