109 Return to Qin's House
◎This was bought by your future daughter-in-law◎
"He likes me, but I don't like him."
Song Shixi knew very well that this matter had to be made clear and could not be glossed over. Moreover, Qin Yue should have been informed of this matter in advance, otherwise he would not have been so angry. Put yourself in his shoes and think about it. If a girl who liked Qin Yue moved downstairs from him and he didn't tell her in advance, she would also feel uncomfortable.
What's more, it happened so suddenly like today, and I wasn't even mentally prepared.
She immediately reached out and tugged at Qin Yue's sleeve, saying softly, "I've already asked someone to look for a new house, but I haven't found one I like yet, so I'm continuing to live here."
Hearing her words, Qin Yue lowered his eyes and looked. In the dim light, he saw that his small face, which was only the size of a palm, was as beautiful as a lotus, his skin was as white as snow, and his pair of fox eyes were charming and affectionate. He looked at him with watery eyes, with a hint of spring. In an instant, all his anger disappeared and he sighed slightly.
After all, this matter has nothing to do with her. He knows that she has been very busy recently. With so many things weighing on her mind, how could she remember such a small matter? Why should he be angry with her? It is really wrong.
If anyone is to blame, it's Zeng Jingxu's fault for going back on his word as he gets older. He knew his family would not agree and he had no ability to deal with it or resist, but he still moved here with other intentions in mind, becoming neighbors with his brother's "sister", and showing all kinds of courtesy to her without any idea of avoiding suspicion.
But after what happened today, I guess I can’t do it anymore, brother.
Qin Yue narrowed his eyes, his expression dark. He said nothing, but simply pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly, burying his chin in her neck. After a long pause, he finally apologized, "I lost my temper. I'm sorry."
After saying that, he took a tissue to wipe her.
Song Shixi didn't take it too seriously. She knew she was in the wrong and was already shorter than him. Plus, although he was strong, it was mostly skill, so it didn't hurt at all. It was quite interesting...
Thinking of this, she coughed lightly, hurriedly interrupting the random thoughts in her mind. Without showing any expression on her face, she just hugged his neck and snorted, "How can it be cleaned just by wiping?"
Qin Yue was stunned at first, then he picked her up obediently and went to the bathroom. After helping her wash clean, he brought her some clean clothes. After the whole set of clothes, she felt refreshed and comfortable, but he was sweating all over and looked miserable. However, he had to listen to her orders and peel grapes for her and feed them to her one by one.
She originally wanted to eat those crispy and sweet peaches, but after he persuaded her, she gave up the idea.
Seeing that they were almost done, Song Shixi washed her hands and went to pack the necessary luggage and documents. Qin Yue had to go back to the Qin family in the evening, and it was getting late, so they had to hurry.
When the two of them went downstairs, Song Shixi remembered something. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke, "Brother Jingxu should know about the two of us..."
Before he could finish, Qin Yue grabbed his hand. He said unhappily, "Why are you calling me so intimate?"
After he finished speaking, he received Song Shixi's light glare, coughed lightly, and softened his tone, "I know, he won't say anything nonsense, don't worry."
The two have known each other for so many years, so Song Shixi did not doubt this statement and felt slightly relieved. After walking down the stairs, he subconsciously glanced at the house on the first floor. Seeing that the lights were off and no one was there, he pulled Qin Yue and quickened his pace out of the yard.
"Are you a thief?" Qin Yue glanced at her.
Song Shixi didn't bother to pay attention to him, let go of his hand, and got into the car first. Qin Yue was bored and gave him a cold face. He touched the tip of his nose, walked around to the trunk, put her luggage in, and then drove.
He first sent the person home safely and changed his clothes before driving to the Qin family alone. He had been too hasty on previous occasions. If he didn't come back to see his elders when he returned to Beijing this time, it would be a bit unreasonable. Besides, he still had things to do.
When he arrived at the door, the servant came to open it, and he drove the car directly to the backyard garage and parked it. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Zheng Huilan, who was wearing home clothes, walking out of the house. When she saw him, she smiled, then glanced at the back seat and asked, "Didn't Zhiyi come back with you?"
Hearing her ask Qin Zhiyi, Qin Yue remained calm, put the car keys in his pocket, and replied: "Well, I took people to Guangshi to play the day before yesterday."
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Zheng Huilan's eyes, and then she smiled and said, "It's good that you're willing to go out and relax more."
"I bought some things that you and Dad always like."
Qin Yue personally took out a bunch of exquisite gift boxes from the trunk, some of which were quite heavy. Zheng Huilan casually opened them and was immediately surprised. A smile that could not be hidden escaped her lips, but she said, "You kid, just come back, why buy these?"
"I work away from home all year round and cannot come back to show my filial piety all the time. I can only put more effort into these things. Please don't blame me." Qin Yue's eyes were narrow and deep, and with a smile, they became a little softer.
Normally a cold man, it was rare for him to say such thoughtful words at this moment. Zheng Huilan was surprised and delighted. Meeting his gaze, her nose couldn't help but feel sore, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red. She turned her head away, wiped her tears twice, and then smiled and said, "We are family and don't talk behind each other's backs. You have made a difference. Your father and I are happier than anyone else. We all know how you feel."
Qin Yue's lips also curled up into a smile, and then he seemed to have just remembered something and pointed at two of the items, "Oh, right, this calligraphy and painting and this jade bracelet were both personally selected by your future daughter-in-law."
Hearing this, Zheng Huilan's pupils dilated. She picked it out deliberately and looked at it again and again. She found that they were not ordinary items. She felt worried and thought that although Qin Yue would buy things and send them back from time to time, he was definitely not the type to say such things. She thought that someone must have said something in front of him.
And you don’t have to guess who this person is.
Suddenly, a warm feeling rose from the depths of my heart, and I felt a little more favorable towards this future daughter-in-law whom I had never met before.
"We like it, we all like it. Please help mom talk to her. Come to our house tomorrow. Mom has a gift for her too." Zheng Huilan smiled from ear to ear.
Qin Yue glanced at her expression, raised his eyebrows slightly, and curled the corners of his lips upwards, and replied: "Okay, I will definitely bring it to you."
Speaking of this, Zheng Huilan couldn't help but glared at Qin Yue and said quietly, "If you hadn't told us not to interfere, why would I need you to deliver a message?"
Qin Yue didn't respond. Zheng Huilan curled her lips. She was happy in her heart and didn't bother to argue with him. She called the nanny to carry the things upstairs and asked someone to prepare a midnight snack.
"Don't bother, I came back after eating." Qin Yue shook his head.
Seeing that he insisted, Zheng Huilan gave up the idea, but she always felt uncomfortable if she didn't do something, so she suggested cutting some fruit to help Qin Yue relieve his greasiness in the evening. This time, Qin Yue didn't refuse.
The mother and son walked back into the house together. Zheng Huilan thought of something and asked, "When did you come back? Why didn't you call in advance?"
"I came back because of something urgent, and I'm leaving tomorrow." Qin Yue answered vaguely. Qin Boyuan happened to come down from upstairs at this time and interrupted their conversation.
"Leaving tomorrow?" Qin Boyuan couldn't help but frown when he heard the last part of the sentence.
"Yeah." Qin Yue didn't say much. He nodded in agreement and then called out, "Dad."
Qin Boyuan walked over to Qin Yue, reached out and patted his son's arm, and sighed, "It's been a while since we last met. You look a lot stronger."
Qin Yue remained silent. He had been enjoying great success in both his career and his love life recently, and he was feeling very proud of himself. In addition, in order to please her, he had secretly increased his exercise, so his health was naturally better than before.
"No matter how busy you are, you should visit your relatives and friends more often. Your mother was still saying yesterday that your grandparents missed you and asked you to take some time to go back and see them." Qin Boyuan withdrew his hand and took the lead to walk towards the living room.
Qin Yue followed behind him, his eyes flickering slightly, "Grandpa's birthday is next month, I will definitely be there."
After hearing this, Zheng Huilan continued, "Your uncle said he wanted to make it a big event, with a banquet at home. Also, thanks to your help with the previous incident in Shanghai..."
"Mom just said that family members shouldn't have different opinions. Why are you bringing this up again?" Qin Yue waved his hand and sat down on the sofa. A hint of meaning flashed in his eyes. "Although it took some effort, it's worth it to help my uncle open up the Shanghai market."
Zheng Huilan had always had a good relationship with her family, but she also felt sorry for her son. Hearing this, she felt quite complicated. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Anyway, your uncle owes you a favor, so just ask for it in the future."
Qin Yue smiled and didn't respond, as if he didn't take it to heart.
The three of them chatted about this matter, and Zheng Huilan smiled and changed the subject, winking at Qin Boyuan, "You must take a good look at the gift my daughter-in-law gave me later. I see that she really put a lot of thought into it."
Unconsciously, the word "future" in "future daughter-in-law" had been dropped.
"What is it?" Qin Boyuan looked at Qin Yue in surprise. The latter was drinking tea from a cup and didn't say anything.
He didn't say anything, so Zheng Huilan continued on her own. She first recounted the conversation in the backyard, and then praised the two things to the sky in a few words. Her joy was unconcealable between the lines.
"I never thought I'd be able to enjoy the blessing of a daughter-in-law so soon. I'm going to show it off to those gossipy women tomorrow."
She knew many old sisters in the unit and the compound. When they got together in the past, they couldn't help but talk about family matters. They were all of similar age, and their children were about the same age. Most of them were married and had children, but there were only a few single people, and one of them was her son Qin Yue.
Those people are not shy about it. One person talks about how filial their daughter-in-law is, and the other talks about how sensible their daughter-in-law is...
Whenever she talked about this, she could only stand there with envy, but now she can finally hold her head high and feel proud.
His son, who had been single for a long time, had a date, and the other party was also very capable. Qin Boyuan was happy to hear this and praised him a few times. Then he looked at Qin Yue and said, "You have never been a worry for us. Now that you have a date, your temperament has become more stable. You should know that some things cannot be delayed."
If things keep getting delayed, changes are inevitable, so it’s better to make sure it’s done so people can feel at ease.
But Qin Boyuan didn't say the latter part of this sentence.
"I know what's going on." Qin Yue took a sip of tea and evaded the question calmly.
Qin Boyuan choked. He had always been unwilling to get involved in such matters. Now that he had finally brought it up, his own son pushed him back like a Tai Chi practitioner. He felt a little embarrassed, but he was even more afraid of angering him and postponing the matter indefinitely. He had no choice but to look at Zheng Huilan and ask her, as a mother, to persuade him again.
