"Hey, is this Xiaoyue's dog?" Qin Jizhong had forgotten that Xu Zhaohao was still there, so he squatted down and started talking to Xu Zhaohao again, trying to ditch what had just happened.
Xu Zhaohao stood up as he squatted down, and Qin Jizhong could only hold his hand that had just reached out to touch the dog, but he didn't want to look up at the two people.
"I'm going to walk the dogs first. Guests, you can have Xiao Hao take you wherever you want to go. But it's so late, you should get some rest." Yue Lanxing moved his hand, and the two dogs ran ahead, and he followed them.
Qin Jizhong stood up after seeing him leave. "I think everyone's sober up enough, it's time to go back to sleep." Xu Zhaohao put his arm around Qin Jizhong's shoulder and urged everyone to go back.
Back in the room, Uncle Qin Ji saw his brother looking unhappy. "Brother, what's wrong? Doesn't everyone know about Second Sister and... Sister Zhaoyue and Yue Lanxing? That hug that day was just too shocking."
"Shocking? Is that how you use that word?" Qin Jizhong said sternly. "He didn't even greet us today, acting like he looked down on everyone, but isn't he a guest after all?"
Qin Jizhong was thinking about all sorts of ways Yue Lanxing was unworthy of him. "He used to be a bodyguard, a peasant who rose through the ranks. If we hadn't recognized him as a relative, we wouldn't even know where he was."
"Brother, what are you saying? You know he used to be Sister Zhaoyue's bodyguard. Their relationship can be considered as developing over time. Besides, even when Sister Zhaoyue lost her memory, she didn't seem to like us that much. She loved playing with Jixiang the most."
"You..." Qin Jizhong looked at Uncle Qin Ji, who didn't seem upset at all, and didn't know what to say.
Jin Fuguang and Jin Fuqing were also talking about this, but since they were Xu Zhaoyue's family, their opinions were much better. "Did you see Qin Jizhong's utterly hopeless look just now?" Jin Fuqing asked his brother.
"I saw it. Yue Lanxing is much better than him. I don't know what he's unhappy about. When he saw Yue Lanxing at the banquet, he had a completely expressionless face. Today, he was following behind Yueyue like a little wife."
Talking about Jin Fuguang made him wide awake, but remembering that the two brothers were next door, he deliberately lowered his voice.
"Yeah, he's just acting strangely. But Yue Lanxing really doesn't like talking to people. Yue Mingze also told me that his cousin only talks to people he knows well, and told me not to mind."
“That’s why I wouldn’t let you pass just now,” Jin Fuqing said.
Jin Fuguang was quite surprised. "He's known for his bad temper, yet he's willing to explain things like this to you. It seems Yue Lanxing is really something. By the way, why isn't Yue Mingze here to join in the fun?"
"He really wanted to come, but his family forced him to go to the company," Jin Fuqing said with a hint of schadenfreude.
On the boys' side, only Qin Jiming went to bed early because no one was discussing it with him. On the girls' side, not a single one was left out; they all gathered in one room.
Xu Zhaoyue had just come out of Grandma Qin's room when she saw Qin Jixiang go to Jin Fuzhu and Jin Fubao's room. She handed the box in her hand to Xiaonan, saying, "Put this away first, so no one can see it."
Xiao Nan took the box and found it was quite heavy. She nodded and got off from the other side.
As expected, Xu Zhaoyue was stopped at the door of Jin Fuzhu's room. They left the door open and waited for Xu Zhaoyue to pass by.
"Hey, you're not in your room. Did Grandma call you over?" Qin Jixiang pulled her into the room and asked. Xu Zhaoyue saw that he had indeed knocked on her door, so she nodded and admitted, "Grandma asked me something."
After Xu Zhaoyue finished speaking, she lowered her head and smiled, which instantly aroused the curiosity of the other three people. Gossip always makes people excited.
"What is it? What is it? Come sit down and we'll talk." Jin Fubao patted the bed.
Xu Zhaoyue sat down and began to recount her relationship with Yue Lanxing, interspersed with other stories. They talked until almost midnight. "Alright, alright, I didn't even tell Grandma this much. Go to sleep now."
When Xu Zhaoming ran back to her room, she saw Xiao Nan waiting for her. Xiao Nan rubbed her eyes and asked, "Miss, you're back. I locked the box in the cabinet. Should we leave it there?"
"Okay, just leave it there. We'll talk about it after they go back. You should go back to sleep. You don't need to get up early tomorrow; I doubt anyone will be able to get up." Xu Zhaoyue told Xiao Nan to go back, and only when she was alone did she dare to think about the contents of the box.
