Two days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time to return to Hangzhou.
Mother Lu went to Lu Xiaoqiao's room and helped her pack her luggage.
Zhou Qi was sitting quietly on the sofa in the inner room, a mixture of tension and excitement beating violently in his chest like a drumbeat, because Father Lu was getting the family's household registration booklet for him.
When Father Lu turned around and sat back on the sofa, Zhou Qi was staring at the household registration booklet in his hand with a gaze as hot as fire, his eyes full of eagerness and desire.
Father Lu sat for a long time. Zhou Qizhen felt nervous when he saw that he was slow to hand over the household registration booklet.
You must be regretting this! How can this be possible?
He glanced at the household registration booklet, then looked at Father Lu, his eyes full of sincerity, and whispered, "Uncle, don't worry! I will treat Xiao Qiao well and will never let you and Auntie down for your trust in me."
Father Lu looked down at the household registration booklet in his hand and said hesitantly, "I haven't even asked Xiao Qiao's opinion. Is this a bad idea? How about we tell her and then you two can register whenever you want. I won't care if you go tomorrow."
Hearing this, Zhou Qizheng's heart was alarmed. He quickly moved towards Lu's father, turned his head and looked at the door, and said in a moment: "Uncle, I want to give Xiao Qiao a surprise. When I return to Hangzhou, I will propose to her first, and when she agrees, I will tell her about the household registration book. Do you think it's okay?"
Mr. Lu lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally handed the household registration booklet in his hand to Zhou Qizhen.
"Hey! Take it! Remember, you must be good to my daughter. If she is wronged, I will never forgive you."
Zhou Qizhen took the household registration booklet with both hands.
"Thank you, uncle. I will never let you and aunt down."
The specialties that Lu's mother prepared for the two of them, as well as the heavier luggage, were all placed in Zhou Qizhen's car. The two of them drove to the airport first, and then asked the driver to take them back when he came to pick up the car.
Lu Xiaoqiao sat in the car, looking at her parents and brother and sister-in-law standing outside, her eyes a little red.
"Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister-in-law, please hurry in!"
"Okay, Qi Zheng, drive slowly and be careful on the road."
Zhou Qizheng nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll call you when we get there."
When Zhou Qi was driving the car onto the main road, he turned around and saw that Lu Xiaoqiao's eyes were still red. He took out a tissue with his right hand and handed it to her.
"Don't cry, we'll be back on May Day!"
Lu Xiaoqiao took the tissue and said, "But the May Day holiday is too short, and I will be delayed for a long time on the way back."
"Then take a few days off. We'll find a way when the time comes. Don't worry. Get some sleep first. I'll call you when we get there."
"Um."
…
Because I wanted to spend more time with my family, I bought a flight ticket with a later departure time. By the time the plane landed, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
The two of them quickly called Mr. and Mrs. Lu to report that they were safe.
It was Secretary Ding who came to pick up Zhou Qizhen. Since the car could only be stopped temporarily, Secretary Ding did not get out. After the two people got in the car, he turned around and greeted the two people sitting in the back seat.
"Mr. Zhou, Ms. Lu, Happy New Year."
"Well, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Secretary Ding, you didn't go home for the New Year?" Lu Xiaoqiao was surprised that Secretary Ding had to be on call for Zhou Qizhen 24 hours a day during the New Year.
Secretary Ding grinned, "Ms. Lu, I have settled in Hangzhou."
"Where is your hometown?"
“My hometown is Chengdu.”
"Wow! Chengdu, I've wanted to go there for a long time. Is the hotpot there really that delicious?"
"Yeah, there's also the Chuan Chuan Xiang, Mao Xue Wang, and especially the roast duck maocai, which is the best."
"Roast duck with maocai? I saw an internet celebrity shoot a video specifically about this, it looked very appetizing."
Zhou Qi was looking at the two people who had been chatting since they got in the car, and his expression obviously turned cold, but silly Secretary Ding didn't notice and was still trying hard to please the future boss lady.
"Whenever you have the chance, you must go and try it. There is a store that has been open for more than 20 years. His family..."
"Secretary Ding, are you free?" Zhou Qizhen said in a cold voice.
Secretary Ding: “…”
Barbie is cute, a little too excited!
Zhou Qizhen shut up Secretary Ding with just one sentence, and he didn't say another word throughout the whole process.
Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at Zhou Qizheng in displeasure. He had returned to his old ways since he got off the plane. She couldn't figure out which one was the real him. When he was at her house, he seemed to get along well with her family, but he almost had "fawning" welded on his face! He smiled at her father all day long.
Zhou Qizheng saw Lu Xiaoqiao glaring at him, but he didn't take it seriously: "It's getting late today, come to my place and sleep tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoqiao thought that the luggage was in the car anyway and it would not be inconvenient, so she nodded in agreement.
When they arrived at Zhou Qizhen's underground parking lot, Secretary Ding got out of the car and took the two people's suitcases out of the car.
Just as he was about to help the two of them carry it upstairs, Zhou Qizheng stopped him and said, "You drive back, I'll carry it up myself."
Secretary Ding saw through his boss's jealous nature but didn't say anything. Of course, he didn't dare to say anything.
Lu Xiaoqiao followed Zhou Qizhen into the elevator and entered his house. The hot air hit her face and she found that the floor heating had been turned on in advance.
"I'll stay in the same room I stayed in last time today." Lu Xiaoqiao said as she was about to take her luggage and go into the second bedroom.
Zhou Qizheng held her wrist and said, "Let's stay in the master bedroom today! The housekeeper is on holiday for the New Year, and the second bedroom is probably covered in dust."
Lu Xiaoqiao asked in a low voice: "We all live in the master bedroom?"
Zhou Qizheng said casually: "If you can bear it, I can live in the second bedroom."
Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”
It seems that he is playing hard to get with her. Lu Xiaoqiao smiled mischievously and said, "Then you can stay here! I am hard-hearted, hehe!"
Lu Xiaoqiao took the suitcase to the bedroom, and Zhou Qizhen followed in. He raised his eyes and saw that she had no objection. His eyes were full of tenderness and happiness.
Lu Xiaoqiao squatted on the ground and opened the suitcase to look for pajamas and toiletries.
Zhou Qi was sitting on the bed, looking at her: "Are you going to work tomorrow? Do you want to rest for one more day?"
"I'd rather not. I don't want to be treated specially. I heard from my mom that my aunt and uncle-in-law had a fight during the Chinese New Year, and I don't want to get into trouble."
"Why are you fighting? By the way, it's grandma's birthday, why didn't your aunt come back?"
Lu Xiaoqiao took out a set of pajamas with cartoon puppy patterns from her suitcase, stood up and said, "It's because my uncle-in-law didn't let her go back because my aunt's mother-in-law was also celebrating her birthday. My aunt wanted to celebrate it for each mother, but my uncle-in-law disagreed and said that since she married into the Liu family, she must abide by the Liu family's rules."
Zhou Qizheng frowned when he heard this, and then promised her solemnly: "Qiaoqiao, after we get married, you can go home whenever you want, and I will accompany you back."
