Hearing everyone asking him, Zhou's father stroked the dumpling in his arms and said gently, "Why not? This little thing is so cute."
Everyone asked a few questions one after another, and someone asked, "Where did you get this puppy from?"
Finally hearing this, Zhou's father puffed out his chest, as if he was proud, and replied with a smile: "My son brought his girlfriend home yesterday to celebrate New Year's Day. This puppy was raised by his girlfriend. I thought I would take it out for a walk this morning."
Father Zhou emphasized the words "my son's girlfriend" with extra emphasis.
When Mr. Li heard this, he was surprised and asked, "Your Qizheng has a girlfriend? He brought her home?"
After hearing what he said, Zhou's father was somewhat unwilling: "What kind of talk is this? My son Qi Zheng is capable and talented, is it possible that he can't get married?"
Mr. Li quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. Didn't you say it yourself before? You said that it's popular among young people to not get married. You didn't care that your son Qi Zheng didn't find a girlfriend. You said you should respect the decisions of young people."
Bullshit! How could he not be anxious? He was so anxious that he was afraid that he would not be able to see his son get married and have children on the day he died.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Qizhen's academic and work abilities have never given him any trouble. No matter whether they are business rivals or lifelong friends, they all envy him for having such an outstanding son. However, when it comes to the most important event in his life, he envies others and even says such unkind words in front of many friends.
"It's a different time now. Previously, my Qi Zheng hadn't met anyone he liked."
Mr. Li continued to ask: "So your son likes this one now?"
Before Zhou's father could say anything, Grandpa Sun spoke first: "Aren't you talking nonsense? I brought her home, how can I not like her? Haven't you seen that girl? She looks like a porcelain doll, and she is a perfect match for Qi Zheng."
Mr. Li said, "Really? Congratulations! Please invite us to your wedding banquet."
Father Zhou's face was flushed with joy, and he smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I'll tell you first when the two of you set a date."
…
Lin Lin's bedroom.
Lu Xiaoqiao woke up on her own without ringing the alarm.
After getting up, he called Lin Lin for a long time, but seeing that she didn't want to get up, he washed and packed up himself and went downstairs.
When she went downstairs, she ran into Zhou Qizhen who had just returned from exercise. This was the first time she saw Zhou Qizhen wearing anything other than business attire.
The black T-shirt paired with gray sports casual trousers looks a bit more casual and energetic than the usual serious outfit.
Lu Xiaoqiao's gaze could not help but move to his face. The hair on his forehead was slightly soaked with sweat, and it was obvious that he had been exercising for a long time before. But even so, there was no sign of panting on his face.
"You're up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Zhou Qizheng asked her.
Lu Xiaoqiao responded with an expression that said 'Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?'
Seeing his expression, she knew he was the former, so Lu Xiaoqiao had no choice but to say, "How can you sleep with your butt exposed to the sun the first time you stay at your boyfriend's house?"
Zhou Qizheng said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? You can sleep as late as you want. No one dares to say anything."
Lu Xiaoqiao rejected it and said, "How can that be possible? Okay! I'm going downstairs now, you should go wash up quickly!"
Zhou Qizhen said "hmm" and went upstairs.
As Lu Xiaoqiao walked down the stairs, she saw Ouyang Yueyue already sitting on the sofa in the living room, chatting with Zhao Yaqin. Seeing her coming, Zhao Yaqin waved for her to come over and sit down to chat.
After they chatted for a while, Zhao Yaqin said, "Look at you two young people, how come you get up so early just like us old people? When you come next time, you can sleep in as late as you want. Nowadays, there are many young people who like to sleep in. Don't be embarrassed, just treat this place as your own home."
Lu Xiaoqiao and Ouyang Yueyue looked at each other and smiled, but said nothing.
At this time, Lin Ziyang came down from the stairs, still in his pajamas, and sat on the sofa with sleepy eyes.
Leaning on Ouyang Yueyue, he said lazily, "Yes! Grandma, you are right. Nowadays, there are still young people who don't sleep in. Except for my uncle, who is a weirdo. He always gets up to exercise on weekdays and holidays. But he should not be one of us young people!"
Lin Ziyang yawned after he finished speaking, but before he closed his mouth, he heard a deep voice coming from behind him: "Then tell me, which group do I belong to?"
Hearing the voice, Lin Ziyang turned around in surprise and saw Zhou Qizhen, who had already changed his clothes and was standing behind him neatly dressed.
The little bit of sleepiness that Lin Ziyang had left disappeared in an instant!
"Uncle."
How could he forget that his uncle stayed at home last night!
Lin Ziyang suddenly remembered what Lin Lin said to him yesterday. He slapped his thigh and laughed at the time, but less than a day later, the same thing happened to him.
The same embarrassment, the same astonishment, the same elusive uncle.
"Have you finished the business plan for Gangcheng?" Zhou Qizhen asked him coldly.
Lin Ziyang: “…”
Ouyang Yueyue looked at Lin Ziyang resentfully, blaming him for always being so rude and now he was hitting a wall again!
Lu Xiaoqiao reached out and tugged at the corner of Zhou Qizheng's clothes: "Sister Yueyue just said she would take me to Haicheng to play! Do you want to go?"
Zhou Qizheng tilted his head slightly and asked her softly, "Do you want to go?"
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded.
"Okay, let's go then."
Seeing that his vacation was saved, Lin Ziyang happily gave Lu Xiaoqiao a grateful smile. Lin Lin was right, Xiaoqiao would be their "get out of jail free" from now on.
"Then I'll go change my clothes first." After saying that, Lin Ziyang pulled Ouyang Yueyue upstairs.
"Then what about my Tuanzi? Oh, right! Where is my Tuanzi? Auntie, have you seen Tuanzi?" Lu Xiaoqiao asked.
Seeing that she just remembered Tuanzi, Zhao Yaqin smiled and replied to her: "Don't worry! It's not lost. Your uncle took it out for a walk. You guys can go and play with yourselves. You can leave Tuanzi here without worry. I'll keep it for you to take good care of."
Lu Xiaoqiao smiled and agreed: "Okay, thank you, auntie, then I will quickly wake Lin Lin up and leave after breakfast."
"Okay, go!" Zhao Yaqin watched Lu Xiaoqiao go upstairs, then turned to Zhou Qizheng and said cautiously, "Qizheng, your father and I have prepared a meeting gift for Xiaoqiao. Do you think we should give it to her now, or wait until you come back to pick up Tuanzi?"
Zhou Qizheng raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Give it to me now! You may not be able to come back tonight."
Zhao Yaqin didn't expect Zhou Qizhen to answer her question so gently this time. She was so happy that her eyes were red. "Okay, I'll give it to her later."
…
Lin Lin was woken up by Lu Xiaoqiao. When she finished packing and went downstairs, she saw that everyone was already sitting at the dining table waiting for her. She felt a little embarrassed and quickly found a seat to sit down.
After Lin Lin sat down, Zhao Yaqin asked her, "Didn't you go to bed early yesterday? Why do you still look sleepy?"
Lin Lin yawned and said, "I dreamed that I took care of the child all night last night. I am so tired!"
Lu Xiaoqiao took the soy milk that Zhou Qi was handing her and then asked, "Taking care of the child? Whose child?"
"Yours! You and my uncle gave birth to three! You chased after me and called me sister!"
