But he didn't know what Wenxi liked, or what he should give her.
"It tastes just like I remember." Qin Mi's eyes reddened after taking a bite of the familiar food, because she hadn't tasted this flavor for many years.
Wen Xi smiled faintly, "If you like it, eat more. I'll write down the recipe for you another day so you can make it yourself."
She's generous with the seasonings she uses, which makes her dishes stand out. But in ten years, Qin Mi should be able to find dishes outside that are almost as good as hers.
Amidst laughter and conversation, the two finished their lunch. Qin Mi ate all the remaining dishes, probably because he hadn't had this kind of food in so many years, and now that he finally had the chance, he wanted to seize the opportunity to eat as much as possible, which is understandable.
After lunch, Qin Mi took Wen Xi to wash up and then took her back to her room for a nap, while Qin Mi went out.
Wenxi locked the door and went to the system kitchen to check on the pregnant woman. Seeing that she was still unconscious, Wenxi felt relieved and then lay down to rest.
When Wenxi woke up, the sky outside the window was already dark. She was surprised that she could sleep so much. Maybe it was because Hao Liangliang was getting old and her health wasn't as good as it used to be?
As Wenxi came down the stairs, a teenager suddenly rushed up to her and called out affectionately, "Mom."
Wenxi stared wide-eyed in surprise. When did she have such a big son?
Qin Mi walked over and explained, "Liangliang, this is our son, Sihao. He was adopted from the orphanage where you used to work. He was just a baby when you worked there. You should have seen him before, but so many years have passed and he has grown up. You can't recognize him anymore."
Wenxi was somewhat surprised, "You told him about the adoption directly? Many people choose to keep it a secret for fear of hurting the child."
Qin Mi nodded. "I told him everything. I told him that we are just his adoptive parents."
Some things really need to be made clear in advance, so that when children grow up, they don't take their parents' sacrifices for granted.
"Hello Qin Sihao, I'm Hao Liangliang, your adoptive mother. I've been working away from home and rarely see your father and you, but I'm back this time so I can spend more time with you." Wen Xi reached out and patted Qin Sihao's head, smiling as she spoke.
She would observe the child for a while. If the child was a good person and would take good care of Qin Mi in his old age, she would leave him a few more boxes of things.
"Mom, you're finally home for the holidays! Can you come to school with me tomorrow? Everyone at school says I'm a child without a mother!"
Qin Sihao was furious when he thought about how others treated him.
Wen Xi nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go to your school tomorrow. By the way, how many people are in your class?"
“There are forty-two students in our class,” Qin Sihao said.
“Let’s go together tomorrow,” Qin Mi said. “Let’s go out for dinner.”
Wen Xi's mystery is best kept to himself; it's better not to let Qin Sihao know. Teenagers are not mature, and it would be bad if it were accidentally revealed.
After getting in the car, Qin Mi took Wen Xi and Qin Sihao to the largest restaurant in the area.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Qin Mi found a seat by the window so she could enjoy the night view while eating.
A staff member came over with the menu, and Qin Mi handed it to Wen Xi. Wen Xi took it with a smile and ordered a braised pork and a braised fish. Then she handed the menu to Qin Sihao, saying, "Son, you can also order two dishes you like."
"No need, I like what Mom ordered too." Qin Sihao shook his head and refused.
Wenxi handed the menu to Qin Mi, "Honey, why don't you order a few dishes?"
If you're going to act, then act convincingly.
Qin Mi was thrilled by Wen Xi calling him "husband," but it was a pity that their marriage was fake, not real.
Although he really wanted to be a real couple, he couldn't cause her any trouble.
Qin Mi added three more dishes and a soup, and then asked the waiter to serve the food.
If it were just him and Wenxi, three dishes and a soup would be enough. But teenagers like Qin Sihao have huge appetites. There's a saying that a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home. Qin Sihao has reached that point now. But since we've adopted him, we have to be responsible for him and raise him to adulthood.
As for what the future holds, it depends on Qin Sihao's own decision. Qin Mi can't adopt him and give him everything she has.
Whether he is eligible to inherit depends on whether he will be filial in the future.
If he is not filial, Qin Mi will confiscate his property and leave it to him. Raising him is already fulfilling his responsibility; it is impossible for him to take care of everything for him.
"Qin Mi? What are you doing here?" While waiting for the food, a group of people walked in. They looked more like a family, except for one young woman who seemed very affected and out of place.
Qin Mi simply nodded but didn't say anything, clearly indicating that she didn't want to pay much attention to the man.
"Qin Mi, is this your wife?" The man's eyes lit up instantly when he saw Wen Xi. Although Wen Xi's appearance did look a bit more mature to match the identity of 'Hao Liangliang', she had not married or had children, her figure had not changed, and she rarely did housework, so she still looked as young as ever.
Qin Mi nodded. "Yes, this is my wife, Hao Liangliang. She's always working out of town."
"You really have a wife?" The man clearly didn't believe it.
Qin Mi frowned unhappily. "How could this be fake? I not only have a wife, I also have a marriage certificate. What? Do you want to see it? Are you checking people's marriage certificates now?"
When Qin Mi mentioned the words "marriage certificate," her tone became more forceful. The man's eyes darted around, and he quickly led his group away.
Wen Xi asked, puzzled, "What happened? Why did they just leave like that?"
"See that woman next to him? That's not his wife, that's his mistress. He's openly flaunting her in public. His wife and kids are in the countryside, they don't know anything about this!" Qin Mi said disdainfully.
"He..." Wen Xi hadn't expected that the reason this woman seemed so out of place was because she was a mistress kept by a man. "Ugly people always cause trouble. Since you know him, do you know his wife? Should we tell his wife and let her come and deal with him?"
Qin Mi shook his head. "No, because we just ran into him. If his wife comes looking for him later, she'll definitely know we're the ones who told on him."
"Is he afraid of his wife?" Wenxi was very puzzled. If he was so afraid of his wife, he should cherish and love her instead of hurting her like this.
