"Qi Jingchen, I'm so tired. Is this really okay?"
"Okay, baby was very comfortable last night, and it sounded very nice."
Have you no shame?
"I don't want it anymore."
Apart from the first time abroad and the first time back home when she felt unwell, she was indeed very happy and comfortable afterwards. But later she said she wanted to stop, but this person completely ignored her.
"I haven't chosen a gift or picked out any clothes, how am I supposed to go?"
"Honey, Aunt Liu brought some gifts over this morning. Take a look and see what you think is appropriate to bring. I've already picked out some clothes for you."
Okay, I'm hungry.
"I'll cook for you"
After finishing the meal, Qin Zifu sat in the passenger seat without saying a word.
"Baby?"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Don't be nervous, they like you very much.
"How do you know? Don't lie to me. I've watched a lot of TV dramas and read a lot of novels."
"Oh? What did they say?"
"I was just saying... hey, I can't be bothered to talk to you, anyway, things might not go smoothly."
"It will go smoothly, don't worry."
Qi Jingchen shook hands with Qin Zifu.
The Qi family's residence is not far from here, but it is not in a villa area. Instead, it is a courtyard house in the Second Ring Road, a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. It is about 1,000 square meters in total, facing south with excellent feng shui, exuding a low-key and elegant atmosphere.
On the east side of the backyard, pavilions and waterside terraces are built, with koi fish kept inside, symbolizing good fortune. The main house in the inner courtyard has three floors, with modern carving craftsmanship and an overall brown and gold tone. It is a modern version of the tiled roof with clear water ridge, and every window is a floor-to-ceiling window, so it does not feel dull.
As they entered, a woman in a purple cheongsam came out. She must be Qi Jingchen's mother. She looked to be under forty years old and was very well-maintained.
"This must be Zi Fu, come on in, is the road congested?"
"Hello, Auntie, is there any traffic on the road?"
Come in quickly.
He tried to pull Qin Zifu's hand inside, but Qi Jingchen didn't let go and held it tightly. Qin Zifu felt a little embarrassed and tried to pull her hand away, but she couldn't.
Yan Li glared at her son. Was it really necessary? He looked so pathetic.
"Hello, Uncle"
"Hello, come and sit down. What would you like to eat? Jingchen will get it for you."
There were many fruits and delicate snacks on the table.
Qi Jingchen frowned.
"Why did you make so many desserts?"
"It's not for you to eat; girls like to eat these things."
"Uncle and Aunt, this is a gift I brought. I wonder what you would like?"
"Why did you bring a gift? That's so thoughtful of you. You can't bring anything next time you come back!"
In the end, Qin Zifu chose a jade hairpin for Yan Li. Seeing her outfit today, she knew she had made the right choice. She gave Qi Zheng a fishing rod because Qi Jingchen said his father's hobby was fishing. He would go out for half a day and not come back until he was tanned.
Qin Zifu originally wanted to take an unconventional approach and give him sunscreen spray, but then she thought it wasn't appropriate since it was their first meeting, so she decided to wait until they were more familiar with each other.
"Fufu, Auntie just wants to ask, what do you see in my son?"
What's going on? What does this mean? Qin Zifu was already a little nervous.
Qi Jingchen, who was picking out snacks for Qin Zifu, looked up and glared at Yan Li. What question was that? Is it abnormal for her to like him?
"He's great in every way—considerate, good to me, handsome, and rich, does that count?"
"Considerate? Is being considerate to you while keeping a dark expression on my face?"
"Um?"
Qin Zifu couldn't help but laugh, glancing at Qi Jingchen as she laughed.
"He's passable in terms of looks, but I think he's not as handsome as his dad."
Qi Jingchen was speechless; he couldn't stand it any longer.
Qin Zifu looked at Qi Zheng seriously.
"Yeah, they're all pretty handsome."
What's with commenting that your future father-in-law is handsome?
"If he has money, then spend as much of his money as you want; don't try to save it for him."
"Okay, then I'll spend more in the future."
"I'm sure you've never used the card I gave you, right?"
"Forgot..."
"Fufu, your auntie wants to ask you something more important."
"Do you have important business to attend to? Dad, aren't you going to do anything about this? What are you even saying?"
"Well, your mom said she has something important to ask."
"Fufu, since we're about to meet your parents, I just wanted to ask if there are any customs or traditions associated with the woman of the house. We'd like to follow your customs."
This time, Qin Zifu was at a loss, because she didn't know or have thought about these specific things.
"No, Auntie, it's just a normal procedure, nothing special."
"Okay, then we'll make the arrangements."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"No trouble at all, I'm overjoyed! You're such a good girl. This is the Qi family heirloom bracelet, your auntie will give it to you."
"Auntie, you can give it to me later."
"No need to wait until later, Jing Chen said it's definitely you."
"It'll be yours sooner or later, so keep it."
After Qi Jingchen finished speaking, he put the bracelet on Qin Zifu's left hand.
"Also, this is a gift, you must accept it."
Yan Li took out a red file folder. This was the first time Qin Zifu had ever seen such a big gift. In TV dramas, people always gave red envelopes. What was with this red file folder? This folder must be hard to find, right?
Thank you, Uncle and Aunt.
Qin Zifu did not refuse again.
"Come on, let's eat. I specifically asked Jingchen what you like to eat."
At the dinner table, Yan Li kept putting food on Qin Zifu's plate, and it looked like the bowl was almost piled up with food.
"Thank you, Auntie. Please eat too, don't worry about me."
"Okay, let Jingchen peel the shrimp for you."
"That's enough!"
In the end, Qin Zifu really couldn't eat anymore. It wasn't appropriate to leave leftovers on her first visit.
"Can't finish it?"
I'm a little full...
Are you sure you don't want to eat?
Why did he ask one last time to confirm? Because a couple of days ago, she couldn't finish her meal, so Qi Jingchen ate the leftovers from her bowl. After she finished eating, she asked him why he hadn't left her a bite, saying that he didn't love her anymore.
"Yes, I'm sure."
Qi Jingchen took her bowl and ate the food inside, bite by bite. This was clearly not the first time. Qin Zifu felt embarrassed again. She could do anything when they were alone, but making him eat leftovers in front of his parents...
Yan Li and Qi Zheng exchanged a glance. Her son still eats leftovers? That's really strange.
"Fufu, don't be shy, it's okay."
Yan Li noticed that she was a little embarrassed, so she quickly comforted her and blamed her for taking too much food.
"After you finish eating, go and rest for a while. Don't rush off."
"good"
Qi Jingchen took Qin Zifu to the second-floor bedroom.
Did you grow up here?
"Yes, I'll stay until I graduate before moving out."
There was a photo in the room of someone holding a skateboard.
"Is this a high school?"
Grade 11
"Handsome"
"Thank you for the compliment, baby."
You're welcome!
Qin Zifu sat on the sofa, took out the red file folder, and opened it.
"So your family gives a property certificate as a gift when you first meet the bride?"
Inside were three property ownership certificates: two for villas and one for a single-story house. A card also slid down.
"They even gave me a bank card. How much money is on this card?"
"I don't know, but there's definitely a 'one in a million' one. Did Mom tell you the password?"
"You told me, and then you told me not to tell you."
"Then you should keep the flowers for yourself. These are just for good luck. The rest will be given to you for the engagement and wedding."
"I don't need that much money."
Without a doubt, the money here shouldn't be less than the value of those three property certificates.
"Do you really expect me to marry you with just these few things?"
"Come on, Mr. Qi, shower me with money, knock me out!"
"I can't bear to part with it..."
"Rest in bed for a while."
"No getting into bed without changing your clothes"
"Baby, my professional instincts are kicking in again. Let me help you change your clothes."
"Is there?"
"have"
"All right…"
After changing my clothes, I lay on the bed, and it smelled just like his house in Xiyuan.
"Don't touch me, you've messed up my hair."
"fine"
"I have something to do. It wouldn't be good if your parents saw me going downstairs."
They understand.
"I don't understand, go away."
"Then kiss"
"..."
Still kissing? Trying to act cute?
