Unfortunately, your purchase ratio is not high enough. You can fatten up your baby until the end of the world before coming to see you again. Qingyun arranged her work for the next period of time before returning to her residence.
He turned on the light and prepared to pack the things he needed to take back to China.
Qingyun's life is actually extremely disciplined. Just like her current residence, even though Qingyun has lived there for more than three years, it still looks like it has no human presence at first glance. Everything is neatly arranged, and the living room and bedroom are spotless.
There was one corner that seemed out of place, filled with all sorts of trinkets of different styles.
These are all the work of Zou Minchen.
Qingyun walked into that bookcase, picked up an exquisite robot, and played with it in her palm.
That man has forgotten everything else, but he still remembers this one thing: whenever he comes across something new or interesting, he always sends it to Qingyun. I wonder if his current behavior of collecting these childish things, despite his fierce-looking face, has frightened anyone.
A hint of a smile flashed in Qingyun's eyes.
This time, he will stay in China for a relatively long period of time. After pondering for a while, Qingyun began to tidy up the trinkets on the bookshelf, putting them into boxes and neatly arranging them in her suitcase.
As Qingyun was packing her things, her phone rang. It was Zou Minchen.
Qingyun frowned. What a coincidence that this person was calling at this time?
Staring silently at her vibrating phone, Qingyun narrowed her eyes and abruptly hung up.
Rejected?
Zou Minchen stared at his phone as if it were some unsolvable business problem. He tried calling back, and that's when he heard Qingyun's languid voice.
"What do you want now?"
"Hmm? In a bad mood? Already asleep?" Sensing the slight unease in Qingyun's tone, Zou Minchen asked gently.
Qingyun has a terrible temper when she wakes up, and Zou Minchen only learned to behave after accidentally stepping on her landmines a few times.
"What is it?" This time the tone was even harsher.
Zou Minchen was both amused and exasperated. He quickly offered a few words of comfort and then asked, "Where are you planning to stay when you return to China? I have several properties in Yancheng. Would you like to take a look?"
Unable to meet in person, the daily video calls and phone calls became the time Zou Minchen looked forward to the most, and he would try to delay them as long as possible.
Before Qingyun could reply, Zou Minchen actually compiled a list of his several properties and sent it to Qingyun.
Upon receiving the documents, Qingyun couldn't help but smile slightly. He meticulously examined each of the houses under Zou Minchen's name, and only when Zou Minchen's mood was on the verge of turning into a real estate agent did he close the documents, lean back on the bed, and ask him arrogantly, "I have my own house, why should I live in your place?"
Zou Minchen felt helpless for a moment. Just from the sound of her voice, he could imagine Qingyun's proud little face.
It must be a slightly raised chin, eyes with a disdainful look, that makes you want to...
Take good care of her.
"Actually, I'd rather you move into the Zou family's old house." Zou Minchen's tone lowered involuntarily, his desire barely contained in his voice.
"Okay." Qingyun agreed readily, then chuckled, "What? You think I'm too scared to stay?"
Upon hearing Qingyun's agreement, Zou Minchen felt an unbelievable surge of joy.
Is that what he meant? Did he agree?
Despite Zou Minchen's excitement and anticipation, Qingyun still rejected the old Zou family house and threw it back.
In the end, Qingyun chose a villa near the Xiao family's residence.
He'll have to go back eventually.
The next day, Zou Minchen arrived at the airport early. He was alone, and no one would have guessed that President Zou would personally come to the airport to pick someone up.
Qingyun's words yesterday had unsettled him, and he couldn't wait to come and confirm them.
If this isn't the outcome he wanted...
"Then tie him up and take him back," Zou Minchen thought viciously.
But no matter how intense the dark thoughts churned in his mind, he still nervously looked in the mirror, tidied his hair and clothes to make sure he looked incredibly handsome, and then got out of the car with trepidation.
When Zou Minchen saw the tall figure at the exit, his heart nearly jumped into his throat. His dark eyes locked onto Qingyun, who was smiling, and he immediately strode forward to meet her.
However, someone was faster than him. A well-maintained middle-aged woman overtook him and pounced on Qingyun with her arms outstretched.
The slight upturn of Zou Minchen's lips froze.
"Mom!" Qingyun gave Xiao's mother a helpless hug. He glanced at Zou Minchen, who looked a little stiff, and couldn't help but smile.
"Oh, I've missed you so much! You little rascal, you haven't even come back to see me in all these years." Xiao's mother was overjoyed, completely oblivious to the ambiguous atmosphere between her son and the person behind him. "Tired? Go home and rest..."
Was it his mother? This realization made Zou Minchen feel a little better. He stepped forward, his deep eyes looking at Qingyun: "You're back?"
"Hmm." Qingyun looked up at him, her smile carrying a seductive quality that made Zou Minchen's Adam's apple bob involuntarily.
The brief yet seemingly unspoken greeting between the two surprised Xiao's mother for a moment. She turned her head and looked Zou Minchen up and down, and couldn't help but ask, "And this gentleman is...?"
Although she had heard of Zou Minchen's name, Xiao's mother had never observed him up close, so she naturally didn't recognize him when she saw him for the first time.
“My friend.” Qingyun handed her luggage to Zou Minchen. “I’ll be staying with him for the time being while I’m back in China.”
Upon hearing the plain and simple word "friend," Zou Minchen's heart sank, but Qingyun's actions and the second half of her sentence made him overjoyed.
