Chapter 55 Xia Qianqian, why are you still clinging to Brother Yan!
After the Xia family left, Lin Shulan asked with heartache, "Is this how they treat you?"
Previously, she thought her daughter was living the life of a pampered young lady in the city. But after witnessing Mr. and Mrs. Xia's attitude towards their daughter, Lin Shulan felt extremely distressed.
They treated Qianqian this way after I treated Wenwen with all my heart!
It's better not to go back to a home like that.
Although life in the village was tough, the family was closely united, and their love for their daughter was unconditional and genuine.
Seeing Lin Shulan's distress, Xia Qianqian opened her arms and hugged her, murmuring, "Mom, don't be like this. I have my own home now, and I have family members who love me. I am very happy."
"Yes, you're right!" Lin Shulan turned around and hugged her daughter, giving her all her warmth. "Qianqian, from now on, your mother will love you. We'll go with you tomorrow."
Xia Qianqian shook her head: "Lu Zheng is enough for me. However, I plan to go to the city now, otherwise I might not make it in time if I travel early tomorrow morning."
"Girl, you're leaving after just one night?" Xia Damin said with some disappointment.
He liked this girl; she wasn't pretentious at all while eating, unlike Xia Wenwen, who always complained about the food her mother cooked. He wanted Xia Qianqian to stay at his house for a while longer.
Xia Qianqian smiled helplessly: "Brother, I will come back."
Xia Damin chuckled sheepishly, "Yes, yes, I forgot. Little sister, go home as soon as you're done, don't forget!"
"Don't worry, big brother, I'll definitely come back."
After saying that, she turned around and said goodbye to her parents.
With their families seeing them off, Xia Qianqian and Lu Zheng arrived at the carriage stop in Willow Tree Village. Lu Zheng asked a villager to pass a message to his mother, and then he and Xia Qianqian boarded the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, Xia Qianqian's brows gradually furrowed. She suddenly realized that she didn't even have a place to stay in the city. Should she go to her classmate's house for the night? But she was with Lu Zheng, which was really inconvenient.
Seeing her like this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but reach out and press his finger on her forehead, and whispered, "What are you thinking about? Tell me what's wrong."
Xia Qianqian sighed softly and voiced her worries.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng said, "No need to trouble others, I have a way."
After entering the city, Lu Zheng walked steadily, leading Xia Qianqian straight to the guesthouse.
Under Xia Qianqian's astonished gaze, he exchanged a few words with the staff, who then readily opened two adjacent rooms for them.
Lu Zheng turned to Xia Qianqian and said, "Let's stay here tonight and get some rest."
Xia Qianqian was filled with doubt. When did the people at the guesthouse become so easy to talk to?
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you know the people at the guesthouse?"
As soon as she said it, she realized that she might have been a bit abrupt.
After all, she and Lu Zheng weren't that close yet. She had originally wanted to ask Lu Zheng about his identity in the provincial capital, but after hesitating for a moment, she swallowed her words and thought she would wait until he was willing to talk about it before finding out.
I slept without any dreams.
Xia Qianqian woke up early the next morning. Looking at the time on her watch, she couldn't help but smile. She hadn't expected that living in Xiangyang Village for the past few days would help her develop an early-rising biological clock.
Xia Qianqian was just about to go out to buy breakfast when she saw Lu Zheng walking towards her, carrying steamed buns and soy milk.
Seeing Xia Qianqian come out of the door, Lu Zheng asked, "You're awake? I've bought breakfast. Eat first, and then we'll go to the Education Bureau to meet them."
Xia Qianqian reached out and took the perfectly warm soy milk, her smile sweet. Lu Zheng glanced at it unintentionally, and the tips of his ears involuntarily turned red.
Xia Qianqian had important business to attend to today and wasn't in the mood to tease him, so she sat down to prepare for a meal.
Just then, Lu Zheng suddenly said seriously, "Qianqian, being a teacher is actually quite good. Although we're getting married soon, I won't force you to stay in the village. You don't need to give up your dreams for me."
Xia Qianqian didn't expect Lu Zheng to think that way. Although her selling her job had nothing to do with him, hearing him say that made her feel even more favorably toward this man.
In this era, even in the city, there are very few men as magnanimous as Lu Zheng.
Many men believe that once a woman gets married, she should no longer be in the public eye; being a good wife and mother and managing the household are her most important responsibilities. Even at her adoptive father's house, Xia's mother quit her job as a secretary after getting married to become a devoted wife and mother.
Thinking of this, Xia Qianqian was sincerely grateful to the kind people in the comments. If it weren't for their earnest persuasion, she would never have made up her mind to come to the countryside to marry Lu Zheng.
Recalling how she had threatened to kill herself over this incident, Xia Qianqian blushed and pursed her lips shyly.
To hide her shyness, she quickly lowered her head and took a big bite of the bun. The bite was so large that her cheeks bulged out instantly, making her look like a cute little squirrel.
Lu Zheng gazed at Xia Qianqian, his smile deepening, the lines around his mouth widening. In his eyes, Xia Qianqian was incredibly adorable, and the more he looked at her, the more his heart fluttered.
At this moment, he wished he could marry her immediately and hold her in his arms to cherish her.
Xia Qianqian noticed Lu Zheng's gaze, thinking there was something on her face, so she raised her hand to wipe it. Finding nothing amiss, she looked at him in confusion.
Lu Zheng couldn't help but chuckle softly, saying, "Your face is fine, nothing's on it."
Xia Qianqian glared at him irritably before lowering her head to continue eating.
After breakfast, the two borrowed two bicycles from the guesthouse and rode towards the Education Bureau when suddenly a car horn sounded behind them.
Xia Qianqian stopped her bicycle and looked back, only to see Qin Yan sitting in the car.
Qin Yan rolled down the car window slightly and saw that Xia Qianqian had entered the city. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "You've come to see me, right? Get in the car."
Just then, the Xia family's car pulled up. Xia Wenwen, sitting in the car, immediately spotted Xia Qianqian talking to Qin Yan and was instantly furious.
I was only distracted for a moment, and this slut actually went to seduce Brother Qin Yan!
"Xia Qianqian, have you no shame? Why are you still clinging to Brother Qin Yan!" Xia Wenwen suddenly pushed open the car door and shouted at Xia Qianqian.
She glanced quickly at Qin Yan, thinking to herself: This time, I must make Brother Qin Yan see Xia Qianqian's true colors.
Her eyes were filled with malice. She had to seize this opportunity to completely crush Xia Qianqian and prevent her from ever seducing Qin Yan again.
