"Hey, isn't this Ah Hu?" It was Jiang Yun who arrived, accompanied by Luo Yingwei.
They had just been browsing a famous luxury brand store next door when they saw Qiu Hu and Xiang Gexuan picking out clothes in this store of some unknown brand. Amused, they came in and started making sarcastic remarks.
Jiang Yun and Luo Yingwei's eyes flashed with jealousy when they saw Qiu Hu's outfit. Jiang Yun said sarcastically, "Cousin, have you been on the island for too long? You finally get out here, but you're so lost that you only know how to shop in these unknown little brand stores. You should have said so earlier, and your older sister would have brought you here."
Qiu Hu pursed her lips, too lazy to argue with her. Xiang Gexuan saw through her intention and retorted, "Jiang Yun, you cripple, you go shopping? Can you even get into the fitting room?"
"You, Xiang Gexuan, show some respect!"
"Hmm, show some respect. Why don't you just get lost first?"
“Miss Xiang, Jiang Yun is just concerned about his sister, why are you being so harsh?” Luo Yingwei began to “advise him kindly.”
"Are you disabled too? You have hearing problems, so you can't even tell right from wrong?" Xiang Gexuan looked at the two of them as if they were idiots.
Suddenly, Luo Yingwei glanced around and began to feign tears, "I was just telling the truth, Miss Xiang, why are you so malicious?"
Qiu Hu and Xiang Gexuan were both surprised. How could someone cry like that? Has someone arrived? Sure enough, Qiu Hu sensed two people standing behind him. He turned around and saw Ning Yizhan and Shang Ji.
Luo Yingwei looked up and was overjoyed, as if she had seen a savior. She ran to Ning Yizhan's side, trying to grab his arm, but Ning Yizhan dodged her with lightning speed. The woman was unimpressed, sniffed, and said in a high-pitched, aggrieved voice, "Brother Yizhan~ you be the judge."
Ning Yizhan frowned, his face cold, as if he had seen something dirty. He took a few steps back and said, "Don't touch me, and call me President Ning."
In reality, what he was thinking was, "Wow, what disgusting thing is this?"
Luo Yingwei even took the initiative to step forward, saying, "Okay, President Ning." Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped in her tracks by Ning Yizhan's cold and sharp gaze, and even took a few steps back in fear.
Qiu Hu had no interest in watching this kind of drama and coldly warned Jiang Yun, "Jiang Yun, I'm giving you a chance to leave with this woman, or you'll bear the consequences."
Jiang Yun remembered what Qiu Bing had told her a few days ago: not to provoke Qiu Hu for the time being. So she clenched her fists and said to Luo Yingwei, "Let's go."
The farce has finally come to an end.
Xiang Gexuan turned around and linked arms with Shang Ji, who was standing behind her. "Honey, am I great?"
"Yeah, great, Xiao Ge is awesome." The two looked at each other and smiled.
Xiang Gexuan praised Qiu Hu again, "Hu Hu is even better! She got those two women in the mood with just one sentence."
Hearing Xiang Gexuan's praise, Qiu Hu turned around and smiled, her eyebrows curving and her red lips turning up, "Not at all!"
Ning Yizhan and Xiang Gexuan, who were present, had their eyes light up. They thought to themselves in unison, "My hazy, aloof beauty smiled, like ice and snow melting under the warm sun. She is so beautiful!"
Ning Yizhan saw Qiu Hu's blue outfit from a distance. It was very different from before; it was beautiful, pure, and very attractive to him.
"What are you doing here?" Qiu Hu asked in confusion.
"It was a chance encounter, fate!" Ning Yizhan replied half-jokingly.
The next scene shows Qiu Hu and Xiang Gexuan walking ahead, with Ning Yizhan and Shang Ji following behind like bodyguards, accompanying them throughout.
Since that day, Qiu Hu hadn't seen Ning Yizhan for several days. Then Lian Zhi called, inviting her over—a invitation that was practically non-negotiable—even bringing up Old Master Qiu, saying, "Your grandfather told us last time to treat you well..."
That evening, Ning Yizhan came to pick her up. Seeing that she was wearing the same blue mesh dress from last time, he couldn't help but glance at her again. Coming to his senses, Ning Yizhan opened the passenger door, placed his hand under the door frame to shield her head, and said gentlemanly, "Miss, please!"
After a long while, they finally arrived at the Ning residence. As soon as they entered, the whole family looked at the two of them with smiles, and even Ning Yijia's gaze lingered on Qiu Hu.
Do these people really like her that much?
Dinner was served, and everyone came to the table. Lianzhi immediately put some food on Qiu Hu's plate with her chopsticks, saying, "Ah Hu, eat more. Look at you, you're too thin."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Lian Zhi chuckled happily, and then immediately ordered Ning Yizhan, "Xiao Zhan, peel shrimp for Ahu."
Ning Yizhan gave a emotionless "hmm". In fact, during the few days he cooked at Qiu Hu's house, he did all the work such as peeling shrimp. He was very happy to do it, but he didn't show his emotions.
Lianzhi watched Ning Yizhan peel shrimp for Qiu Hu. Qiu Hu ate the shrimp Ning Yizhan peeled and felt very gratified. She felt that her daughter-in-law entering the family was just around the corner, so she quickly tried to get closer to her, "Ah Hu, Auntie used to hold you when you were little. You were so cute when you were little! Do you remember?"
Qiu Hu gave an awkward smile and shook his head. How could he remember?
Lianzhi muttered to herself again, "You were too young back then, it's normal that you don't remember." She didn't forget to mention her son, "Xiaozhan also met you when you were little. He used to like pinching your cheeks and holding your little hand as he ran around. He even said you were much more fun than Jiajia."
When Lianzhi mentioned that someone pinched her face, she seemed to vaguely remember it. When she was little, there was a little boy who always liked to pinch her face. So it was him! How annoying! How could there be such a barbaric person!
But Qiu Hu still denied it, pretending to be trying hard to remember but just couldn't, "Auntie, I don't remember at all."
"It's alright, it's alright."
Ning Yizhan, standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought. "Is that really true?"
"What else can you do? Hold onto the girl's hand and won't let go." He always felt that Lianzhi was undermining him.
He remembered how he used to pinch a little girl's cheeks when he was little. Her face was chubby, with delicate eyebrows and eyes. Her cheeks were smooth and soft to the touch. But then one day, Lianzhi took him to her house again, and he never saw her again.
It's her! Look, we've met again!
After dinner, Lianzhi pulled Qiu Hu to eat fruit on the sofa, saying, "Look how thin you are, haven't you been eating properly?"
Qiu Hu hadn't spent much time with female elders for many years. Lian Zhi's concern from the moment she entered the door touched her heart, and she couldn't help but eat a couple more pieces of fruit. "No, I've been eating well."
Ning Yizhan was sitting across from Qiuhu Lake. He usually didn't like to stay in the living room and always complained about being busy with overtime. Today was really strange. Not only was he staying in the living room, but he was also eating fruit and even chiming in, "I didn't realize that."
Qiu Hu glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, signaling him to shut up.
Lianzhi, however, got the chance, saying, "Then Ah Hu should come to our house for meals more often."
Lianzhi looked at the well-behaved Qiu Hu and couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. Suddenly, she felt that she had seen Qiu Hu's clothes somewhere before. "Ah Hu, your clothes look a bit familiar."
