"Fufu, you play here for now. You and your brother stay for dinner today. I'll go to the kitchen and add a few more dishes."
"Auntie, I want to go too! Please teach me!"
"Okay, things are different now that we're getting married. Our little princess even wants to learn to cook."
"Does Fufu and Qi Jingchen always cook together?"
Gu Suixin's eyebrows almost stood up.
"Grandpa doesn't do it anymore. He usually does it after get off work. If he's not home, I go to my maternal grandparents' house."
"That's more like it. If it doesn't work out, we can find a nanny to take care of you. I'll arrange it for you."
"No need, we're used to being alone at home, I won't go hungry."
"Then what about the housework?"
"Nowadays, most home appliances are smart, such as dishwashers, washing machines, and robot vacuums. You only need to hire a cleaning lady once a week."
"Okay, you can arrange it. Having to work and doing housework on top of that is too tiring."
"Okay, Grandpa, you rest here. I'll go to the kitchen with Auntie."
"Go ahead, go ahead, I'm going to sunbathe in the yard."
Qin Zifu followed Jinzhu to the kitchen.
"Look at your grandpa, he's like a child. He didn't care if you didn't come back before you got married, but now that you're getting married, he's starting to feel reluctant to let you go."
"Actually, whether you get married or not doesn't matter; it doesn't affect anything."
"Yes, he just hasn't gotten used to it psychologically yet. We should come back to visit him more often."
"good"
"I can tell that Jingchen treats you very well."
"Yes, it's great. I feel very happy right now."
Qin Zifu now looks exactly like a young woman waiting to be married, her face full of happiness.
However, in the end, she didn't learn how to cook; she just chatted.
But she ate quite a lot during the meal.
On the way back
"Brother, do you have someone you like?"
Gu Di'an paused slightly on the steering wheel.
Why do you ask that?
"Because your aunt wants to set you up on blind dates. Do you want to find someone you like, or someone your family will arrange for you to be a good match?"
I'm not in a hurry.
"Okay, then it's probably a match made in kind by family."
Qin Zifu raised an eyebrow. What was her brother thinking about all day?
"Jingchen isn't home, aren't you going out with your best friend?"
"Nuonuo went to Yuncheng for fun, and Shuyu is going on a blind date tomorrow."
As Qin Zifu spoke, she observed Gu Di'an, but he didn't notice any micro-expressions and simply nodded.
"So, brother, your families are arranging blind dates for you and Shuyu. I mean, is there any possibility between you two?"
"Is this the only thing you wanted to ask all night?"
"Yeah, I mean, is it even possible?"
"Aren't you busy enough with your own wedding?"
"Jing Chen has been busy with all those things. I'm not busy. I just want to know about you."
Don't even think about changing the subject with her.
Don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing.
"Ha, fine, sigh, my brother doesn't want to tell me anything anymore, he's lost his standing."
"Did you tell me something beforehand?"
Gu Di'an glanced at her.
Qin Zifu didn't say anything more; she knew she was in the wrong regarding her relationship with Qi Jingchen.
"Alright, go on up."
"Bye-bye, drive carefully on your way back."
Qin Zifu turned and went upstairs. Gu Di'an stayed in the garage for a while and did not go home.
Seeing that Qi Jingchen was almost there, she quickly took a shower, completed her bedtime routine, and waited for his call.
"Baby"
You've arrived!
"Yeah, just arrived."
It looks like he just got off the plane and is in his car right now. It's daytime there because of the time difference.
Are you going to the hotel to rest later?
"I won't go yet. I need to have a meeting first; we have a contract to discuss."
"So eager? Going straight to work after such a long flight?"
"Yeah, I've been a bit busy these past few days, so I slept on the plane."
"Okay, you must be tired. Why don't you rest a bit more in the car?"
"Baby, go to sleep. I'm looking at some documents."
"All right"
"Turn off the lights. I'll hang up after you fall asleep."
"good"
Qin Zifu turned off the light and placed her phone beside her. She could vaguely hear occasional slight noises from his end.
"Mr. Qi, we've arrived."
Li Wen didn't know if the call had ended or not, so he could only whisper a reminder.
Qi Jingchen looked up and gestured for him to shut up. Li Wen shrank back and spoke very softly.
He listened carefully to the voice on the other end, and it seemed the person was asleep. He pressed the button on his phone and then got out of the car.
"Mr. Qi, Charles's company has been interfering and trying to sabotage this collaboration."
"They want to do it too?"
"It should be"
"Then let's rely on our own abilities and prepare in advance."
"clear"
The branch office in country M couldn't handle this project because they were competing with a long-established company in that country that was very ruthless and powerful, so their progress had been consistently slow.
However, the project was quite profitable, and after the branch office and the head office held two meetings, Qi Jingchen came over in person.
After that, he threw himself into his busy work.
The next day, when Qin Zifu got up, she glanced at her phone and realized that the video call yesterday had lasted for more than half an hour.
I didn't know what he was doing, so I sent him a message.
"Brother, I'm up. Don't reply if you're busy, just get some rest. I'm going to the hospital this afternoon."
She didn't expect to wait for his reply; it must be very late there. After dinner, she went to the rooftop garden for a while. A while ago, she put a soft couch there, directly below the skylight. Qin Zifu opened the skylight, lay down on it, and exposed her back. This time of day was perfect for moxibustion.
With soothing music playing, you can feel the sunlight on your skin, penetrating deep into it. She often recommends sunbathing to everyone at the hospital.
About half an hour later, she slowly got up, sat on the swing, and watched Douyin (TikTok). She happened to come across a video of the owner of a niche high-end luxury brand that she followed, and she watched it quietly.
Suddenly, Su Nuo appeared in the video. She was wearing jewelry from this brand, and there was another man whom Qin Zifu didn't recognize. She guessed he was the friend she was talking about. The three of them were sightseeing in Yuncheng. The video looked like an advertisement.
This brand never seeks celebrity endorsements, but many stars love it. Its style is bold, quirky, and each piece seems to tell a story.
In the caption, Su Nuo was also tagged. Qin Zifu clicked on her name. The first video was also a similar video, but it was filmed from Su Nuo's perspective and featured a lot of everyday life.
Qin Zifu posted the video in the group.
Fu: Is the one in the middle your friend? Nuonuo, she's quite pretty!
Nuomi: Yes, I'm a local from Yuncheng. We went out together for a while yesterday.
Tang Fairy: Is it possible to develop this relationship?
Glutinous rice: No
Fairy Tang: But everyone online says you two are a perfect match.
Nuomi: You two, don't believe or spread rumors.
Fu: When are you coming back?
Nuomi: Let's wait a few days. I haven't had enough fun yet. This is really a great place to live.
fu: Your comment is dangerous. Don't stay there and never leave.
Nuomi: No, I'll go back this weekend or next week. I miss Tuanzi. But many people stay here for a few months.
Fairy Tang: Come back for a reunion, but don't wait until it's been months.
Glutinous Rice: No, I can control myself~
