Chapter 80 Chapter 80 "I love you too."
Lin Qianyuan held his hand tightly, smiled and nodded, "I know."
Pei Lanqing also curled the corners of his mouth and raised his hand to knock on the door.
The person inside quickly opened the door and saw the figure outside. She was standing in front of the door and said in a very familiar tone, "Lan Qing, you're here."
"Hmm," Pei Lanqing smiled, then promptly stopped her outstretched hand, carrying the fruit himself, and politely addressed her, "Master's Wife."
After saying this, he turned to look at Lin Qianyuan, and the hand he held with hers tightened slightly, covering up the uneasiness, and introduced naturally, "This is my wife, Lin Qianyuan."
Lin Qianyuan nodded slightly and called out, "Hello, Master's wife."
The teacher's wife had been staring at her since earlier, and now she cast a few more glances, hinting at her admiration. Then she smiled warmly and stepped aside to let them in. "Don't be shy. We often have students over for dinner, and this is their first time. When you have time, come over a few times with Lan Qing, and you'll get used to it."
After they placed the fruits, the master's wife gently reminded Pei Lanqing that next time he came to eat, he should not bring anything with him.
Pei Lanqing smiled and replied, "Where's Teacher Qin?"
The master's wife pushed open the kitchen door and replied, "She said she's been feeling down lately, so she went for a walk outside before dinner to help herself out."
The students who arrived first in the living room were merciless. "Teacher's wife, do you still believe this excuse? They must have been smoking secretly behind your back because they were afraid you would find out."
Upon hearing this, the Master's wife's face instantly darkened. "You're right," she waved her hand and gave orders, "When it's time for dinner, no one is allowed to call him, and even if they do, he won't be allowed into the house."
Several students, who were watching the fun, didn't mind the trouble and clapped their hands to distance themselves from the matter, saying, "I won't shout anyway."
One of them didn't clap, but adjusted his glasses and started tapping on his phone screen. "Record it all, report it with your real name, this is evidence, you..."
Before he could finish his words, the phone in his hand had been locked and snatched away.
The man was about to speak when he saw two people walking towards him. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Lawyer Pei, this is..."
He noticed their holding hands, and was even more surprised by the pair of rings. With a teasing look on his face, he raised his chin and said, "Won't you introduce us?"
The attention of the other people was attracted by this sentence, and they all looked over here at once.
Pei Lanqing gently stroked Lin Qianyuan's palm in a place where no one else could see, to comfort her, and then introduced her to them: "My wife, Lin Qianyuan."
Several people drew out an "oh" and stood up to greet him. "I've heard about him a long time ago, but this time I finally see him in person."
Pei Lanqing smiled and introduced everyone present to Lin Qianyuan.
Qin Shouan only accepts a limited number of students each year, only three or four graduate students. Some graduates choose to return to their hometowns or other cities for development, and they usually keep in touch by phone. The rest of the students of similar age are all here.
Among them are people who have joined the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs, colleagues who have joined law firms, or the legal departments of state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, and of course there are also those who choose to continue their studies. The circles may not overlap completely, but the camaraderie of fellow students is there.
Lin Qianyuan looked at them one by one, nodded indifferently, and sat down next to Pei Lanqing.
Pei Lanqing's junior colleague from the same law firm could not hide his excitement at this moment and quietly took out his cell phone to speak in the intern group.
The group was suddenly filled with messages. As the source of first-hand gossip, he frequently looked around. In order not to seem too deliberate, he looked at everyone else.
[No kidding, Senior Brother Pei's wife is incredibly beautiful and tall.]
[I don't know his age exactly, but he looks about the same age as us.]
[She doesn't look like a student, though. Maybe it's because of her temperament. She's too cold, so I didn't dare to talk to her.]
[Who would have thought that Senior Brother Pei likes the aloof type?]
[You didn't mention your profession, model?]
[That's not right. What kind of major does modeling fall into? Does it require so many years of study abroad?]
The young apprentice was busy replying to messages when the person who had just snatched someone else's phone finally remembered something. He pointed at the item in his hand and said to the owner, "This item is now confiscated. We need to investigate and collect evidence. If you refuse, we can also enforce it according to the law."
The man with glasses spread out his hands and argued, "I don't refuse, but please show me the search warrant."
"Brother He," a junior sister opposite her took out her work ID from her bag, "In an emergency, you can use this to conduct a search."
Brother He was outnumbered and turned to seek help. "I want to apply to meet with my lawyer."
He turned to look at Pei Lanqing, "Lawyer Pei."
Pei Lanqing coughed lightly and spoke slowly, "According to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, in order to collect criminal evidence and apprehend criminals, investigators may search the bodies, belongings, residences, and other relevant places of criminal suspects and persons who may be hiding criminals or criminal evidence. At present, their search procedures are legal and constitute legal evidence collection. This..."
He shook his head, indicating that he was powerless to help.
After hearing this, Senior Brother He's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is this legal?"
"Hey, Lawyer Pei, do you understand the law?"
The person who had been sitting silently next to Pei Lanqing raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at him, and then lowered his gaze nonchalantly.
Senior Brother He felt a strange sense of embarrassment. He blinked rapidly, chuckled, and tried to change the subject. "Um...are you traveling with us?"
"No, it's a painter."
"painter?"
"Well," Lin Qianyuan explained calmly, "very ordinary."
The door of the Qin family was opened from the outside with a key. They could vaguely hear the voices of Qin Shouan and his wife talking. After a few words, the two shouted that it was time to eat.
Everyone in the living room agreed at the same time.
The young junior brother walked into the restaurant a little late, looked down at the mobile phone screen which had successfully jumped to the search page, swiped it casually, and covered his mouth in amazement. With this resume, can he call himself ordinary?
Lin Qianyuan followed Pei Lanqing and stood beside the dining table, allowing Qin Shouan to examine her carefully. She lowered her head slightly and addressed him respectfully, "Teacher Qin."
Qin Shouan smiled and nodded, "Come over with Lan Qing often when you have nothing to do." After that, he raised his hand and beckoned everyone, "Please sit down. Why are you being so polite? This isn't your first time here."
Pei Lanqing pulled out the chair next to him and let Lin Qianyuan sit first, and then he sat down himself.
Lin Qianyuan did not sit in the middle of the chair, but a little closer to him.
Pei Lanqing held her hand, and they changed directions. This hand was not the one he had just covered, and it was icy cold.
He poured her a glass of warm water.
Lin Qianyuan then took a sip and smiled at him from the side.
Pei Lanqing raised his eyebrows and smiled, but not so obviously.
Qin Shouan didn't intend to look in the direction where the two of them were. He had seen countless people, so he naturally saw their movements clearly. He quietly exchanged a glance with the people around him, meaning that they were very good.
The master's wife smiled slightly and pushed the dishes towards the children. "Eat more. Why do you all look so thin?"
The junior sister raised her hand and said weakly, "I am pursuing this deliberately because I have been trying to lose weight recently."
The junior brother then spoke: "Me too."
Qin Shouan glanced at him and said, "Why are you losing weight? You're not strong to begin with. If you lose more weight, will you still be able to withstand a beating?"
The others at the table burst out laughing and buried their heads in their bowls.
"I..." Junior Brother had a hard time expressing his suffering. This was his physical condition. What else could he do? He could only think of a way to convert it into muscle. "Oh, I understand."
The master's wife slapped Qin Shouan's arm to shut him up, and she took two pieces of meat and said kindly, "Don't listen to Lao Qin. If you want to lose weight, just lose weight. Eat more high-protein foods every day and don't miss out on nutrition."
She looked at Lin Qianyuan again and said, "You too, eat more foods like millet and yam. They strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, and nourish the blood and produce blood."
Lin Qianyuan listened to the professional terms she used and moved his mouth slightly, "You..."
The master's wife smiled and nodded. "It's an occupational hazard. I've studied Chinese medicine all my life, so I'm used to seeing people." As she spoke, she suddenly remembered that Pei Lanqing had gone to the Chinese medicine clinic to get a prescription for insomnia. She couldn't help but ask, "Have you been under a lot of work pressure lately?"
Lin Qianyuan was a little stunned when he heard this sentence. He clearly understood it, but it felt very unfamiliar.
The hand on her leg was gently grasped by someone. She turned her head to look, came to her senses, and turned back, "It's okay."
The master's wife didn't say much, just asked her to leave later.
Lin Qianyuan was still in a daze. After the meal, she helped everyone clean up the table.
The two elders were not at home, and someone was washing dishes in the kitchen. Pei Lanqing was wiping the table. She walked over without saying a word and joined him.
Pei Lanqing smiled, moved closer to her and whispered to her, "Don't worry, it's nothing, I'm just helping you take a look. All of us have been seen by Master's wife."
He looked at her. His hands were dirty, so it was inconvenient for him to hold her hand. So, when no one was paying attention, he leaned over and hugged her. "But it definitely depends on your own wishes."
Pei Lanqing lowered his head and smiled slightly, "You can refuse, don't force it. Didn't I say I would find a reason?"
"Yeah, I know." Lin Qianyuan withdrew from his arms, but was reluctant to move away from him and stood close to him. "It's not that I don't want to."
She made him bend over and whispered in his ear, "I just think they're all good, just like you."
Pei Lanqing had a smile in his eyes, "Hello to you too."
Lin Qianyuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "No."
"No," Pei Lanqing stared at her intently, "These are all relative."
Lin Qianyuan felt a little embarrassed, but also a little happy in her heart. She couldn't open her mouth, so she asked him to stretch out his palm and wrote a few words on his hand.
After she finished writing, the master's wife stood at the door of the study and called her in.
Lin Qianyuan responded and left alone.
Pei Lanqing looked at her gradually receding back, suddenly lowered his head, slowly tightened his palms, and looked stunned.
She said to him, "Pei Lanqing, I love you too."
This was the first time she mentioned the word "love" to him.
Someone came out of the kitchen and saw him standing there in a daze. He called out to him, "Senior Brother Pei."
Pei Lanqing recovered, folded up the rag in his hand, wiped the last corner of the table, and put the rag aside. "Are you done?"
"Well, we're ready to go back."
Pei Lanqing nodded and said, "Be careful on the road. I'll wait a little longer."
The junior brother knew that Lin Qianyuan was in the study room. Before leaving, he jumped to his side and asked, "Brother Pei, is your wife very powerful?"
He approached him stealthily, "Is that the person I searched online her? She looks exactly like her."
Pei Lanqing smiled lightly and kept a distance from him calmly. "I think so. I haven't browsed it online, but it's really amazing."
Upon hearing this, the junior brother flipped through the search page again and asked, "Are her paintings expensive? When can I afford to buy them?"
Pei Lanqing pondered for a moment and tried to be tactful, "You should first try to find a way to practice independently. Last time, Lawyer Xu asked me if I could help him share the responsibility of teaching you. He..."
Pei Lanqing was a little speechless.
"Okay, okay, stop talking. I understand." The junior brother covered his ears consciously and fled from this place with a resentful look on his face.
Pei Lanqing smiled helplessly and discussed the last case involving the crime of manipulating the securities market with Qin Shouan in the living room. When they finished, the master's wife happened to see Lin Qianyuan out of the study.
Pei Lanqing looked at them, stood up, and walked to Lin Qianyuan.
The Master's wife shook her head slightly at him and repeated what she had just said in the study. "It's nothing serious. His face lacks color. His lungs and spleen are weak, and his Qi and blood are insufficient. His stomach isn't very good either. He's cold and weak, and needs long-term conditioning."
"Dietary supplements are definitely the best. Pay more attention to your diet on a daily basis. Go to the Chinese medicine clinic tomorrow and get the herbs according to the prescription I prescribed."
"Okay." Pei Lanqing nodded in agreement.
"By the way," the Master's wife suddenly remembered to ask, "Are you two in a hurry to have a child?"
Marriage is often followed by preparations for pregnancy.
Pei Lanqing and Lin Qianyuan looked at each other, then took her hand without hesitation and said with a smile, "We are not in a hurry."
The Master's wife felt a little relieved, and then she gave him another careful reminder, "The loss of vital energy is mostly related to restlessness and excessive thinking. Even if you want to have a baby, I don't recommend it now. It will make it difficult to conceive. And the most important thing is to store the energy you replenish first."
Pei Lanqing hummed lightly, indicating that he remembered it.
It was already late, so he and Lin Qianyuan thanked their master's wife and left without staying any longer.
The sensor light in the corridor outside the door was not sensitive enough, so Pei Lanqing turned on the light of his mobile phone and asked Lin Qianyuan to walk in front of him with her hands raised to illuminate the steps under her feet.
Lin Qianyuan walked up the stairs, waited for him silently, and then walked beside him absent-mindedly.
The car was parked not far from the apartment building. Before opening the car door, Pei Lanqing took her hand and sat on the bench at the bottom of the community building. He squeezed her palm and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Qianyuan turned to look at him, staring into his eyes, and then suddenly said in a muffled voice, "Do you want a child?"
They had never discussed this topic before. She lowered her eyes and said, "I don't want it anyway."
Pei Lanqing uttered an "oh" and said nothing more, "Then let's not have a baby."
Lin Qianyuan raised his head and asked, "Don't you like children?"
There was a cool breeze on the autumn night. Pei Lanqing tidied up her messy hair and said, "Not bad."
Seeing that she was a little depressed, he smiled and said, "Do you like it? If you like it, we can adopt one in the future."
"I don't like it." Lin Qianyuan's concerns were different from his. Not to mention her physical condition, she also knew that her mental state was not normal and she would not be able to raise a child well.
Pei Lanqing didn't know what she was thinking. He only felt the warmth in her palm. He interlocked his fingers with hers and slowly covered her, "Then we won't have a baby."
He kissed her brow and stepped back, "Lin Qianyuan."
Lin Qianyuan raised his eyes when he heard that.
Pei Lanqing lowered his head and looked at her closely under the light. Her complexion was indeed not very good. He had always thought that she needed to make up for excessive sleep, but he didn't expect it to be quite serious.
He held her hand tightly and said, "Don't take it to heart. It's not a big deal. Just think of it as a routine question from the doctor."
"It's your body," Pei Lanqing thought about what she had eaten tonight, and then asked her naturally, "Are you full?"
She didn't seem to have eaten much, so he asked again, "Are you hungry?"

The author has something to say: Hey, someone here eats two meals.
When I revise and write articles, I feel like the swimming pool manager in those math problems, draining water while letting water in at the same time. Of course, I don’t mean to water down the article. This is just a metaphor, although it’s a bit cold.
I can't stand it anymore. When will you stop this lame joke?
Well, the author complained about it himself, so you can’t complain about it.
(I feel this sentence is also bad)
