Extra 23
Fu Yin gave a very soft "hmm".
He murmured, "Anning, I miss you."
The sudden confession stunned Qin Anning.
Even though they were separated by a phone and thousands of miles, Qin Anning's face still turned uncontrollably red.
She whispered, "What are you saying? If you've had too much to drink, you should get some rest."
"I wasn't drunk. I haven't replied to your messages for the past few days. Are you angry with me?"
Fu Yin's voice was tinged with drunkenness, but his tone was still clear.
Qin Anning was angry, but upon hearing his words, that anger vanished completely.
Her tone softened, "No, how could I possibly get angry over such a small thing?"
"Alright, you should go and get some rest," Qin Anning said.
Fu Yin replied, "No, I'm not sleepy yet. I just want to hear you talk."
"What are you saying?"
"You can say whatever you want."
He sounded very tired, and Qin Anning wanted him to go and rest, but he absolutely refused.
Having no other choice, Qin Anning could only chat with him, telling him what she had been doing these past few days.
As they were talking, the phone went silent.
Qin Anning called his name twice, guessing he was probably asleep, and sighed helplessly, "Good night."
After saying that, she put down her phone, closed her eyes, and went to sleep contentedly.
The villa has been very lively these past few days, with people coming to visit every day, including many young people her age.
While it's not necessary to play with them, communication is still essential.
Qin Man also took her to various parties, and after a few days, Qin Man's WeChat had more than a dozen new contacts.
Sometimes, connections are important; you may not need them, but you can't do without them.
The Chinese New Year arrived quickly. As usual, the family ate together, visited relatives and friends, and received many red envelopes.
After each New Year's visit, she receives enough red envelopes to fill a whole box.
I returned to Chongqing on the third day of the Lunar New Year. There were still a number of people in Chongqing I had to visit to pay New Year's greetings, and the first place I went to was naturally Wang Ye's house.
Wang Ye now lives in a villa, and since he became wealthy, he has inexplicably gained more relatives.
Every year, a large number of relatives come to pay their respects during the New Year. When Qin Anning arrived, there were several guests at home.
As usual, He Fen boasted to her relatives about how amazing her son and grandson were.
Her relatives smiled obsequiously, occasionally echoing her words and showering her with flattery, which made He Fen beam with joy.
He's getting on in years, but he just can't change his personality.
Wang Ye shook his head and went to entertain the other two people. They were relatives, though he didn't know how distant they were. They were about the same age, but Wang Ye had to call them his cousin.
There was a girl next to my uncle. She was very pretty and not very old. I guess she had just graduated from university.
The girl kept glancing at Bai Lin.
Bai Yi, who was talking to Bai Lin, noticed the girl's gaze and asked Bai Lin with a smile, "Linlin, it seems like I've set you up on another blind date. Do you have feelings for that girl?"
Bai Lin was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Mom, I haven't even spoken to her. How could I possibly have any feelings for her?"
Bai Yi disagreed, saying, "When it comes to feelings, it's all about the first impression."
Bai Lin seemed to be thinking about something, but did not deny Bai Yi's words.
Bai Yi keenly noticed his absent-mindedness and her eyes lit up. "Do you have someone you like?"
Bai Lin snapped out of his daze and smiled helplessly. Just then, Qiao Xing and the others arrived. Bai Lin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went over to greet them.
Qin Anning was surprised to see so many people in his family and said, "You have quite a lot of family members."
She glanced around and saw quite a few young women. She leaned closer to Bai Lin and whispered, "Are they all here to set you up on blind dates?"
Isn't it obvious?
Qin Anning laughed, "It's too obvious, you didn't like any of them?"
Bai Lin said thoughtfully, "You've come at the right time. Do you have the contact information for your best friend from last time?"
"..." Qin Anning's lips twitched, looking at him in disbelief.
"You mean, that one..." Qin Anning looked at him with a troubled expression, "...the one wearing Hanfu?"
Bai Lin nodded. "Mm."
"Cousin...are you serious? There are so many beautiful women in your room, including that Chen Tiaotiao from last time, and you didn't like any of them, but you...you liked him??"
Qin Anning's expression gradually cracked, and she looked at Bai Lin as if she had seen a ghost.
Some even doubted whether there was something wrong with his eyesight.
Yes, Yang Jingyu looks really beautiful in women's clothing, but Shen Tiaotiao is just as good. At least the two of them are evenly matched, right?
But Bai Lin, among so many beautiful women, actually took a fancy to a man?
Qiao Xing thought Bai Lin was talking about some kind of best friend, but when she saw her daughter's expression, her heart skipped a beat.
Could this little nephew be referring to Yang Jingyu?
She instinctively gripped Qin Ce's arm tightly, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
Qin Ce grabbed her hand and pulled her toward Wang Ye, who was coming from the opposite direction. "They should resolve their own issues."
Qiao Xing was both amused and exasperated. If Bai Lin knew the identity of her best friend, he would probably question the meaning of life.
Will I ever be able to fall in love with a normal girl again?
Bai Lin was puzzled by Qin Anning's reaction, but didn't think about it in terms of gender, so he asked, "Does she have a boyfriend?"
Qin Anning nodded hurriedly, "That's right! She already has a boyfriend, and he's getting married soon. Cousin, you should look at other girls and stop trying to get close to her."
Bai Lin sighed in disappointment.
Bai Yi walked over at this moment, overheard the conversation between the two, and asked, "An Ning, who are you talking about?"
