Chapter 646: The Most Caring Mother-in-Law in the Capital (Part 2)
But now it seems that she was wrong.
The Liu family, like the Cheng family, is rotten to the core.
Virtues such as fatherly love and filial piety, and brotherly friendship and respect for younger brothers do not exist in their dictionary at all. Power, money and desire are the synonyms of these two families.
Ruan Qi looked at the delicious dishes on the table and suddenly felt that it was a bit disgusting to mention the Liu family in front of so many delicious foods.
"Whatever happens to the Liu family is their own fate. After my grandmother passed away, we had no relationship with the Liu family. My parents don't care who they marry into or whether they live or die. Grandpa Xi, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat."
Old Master Xi knew that Ruan Qi didn't like to mention the Liu family, so he changed the subject and talked about something else.
After the whole family finished dinner, the setting sun outside the window had gradually moved to the other side of Xiling.
The sky was getting dark, and the lights in the huge Xi family manor were lit one after another. The heritage and luxury of the ancient family gradually emerged in the night.
Ruan Qi walked around the main building for a while. When she had almost digested her food, Duan Wei came over and took her upstairs.
"Knowing you're staying over tonight, I cleaned up the second bedroom next to Old Nine's. If you find anything you don't like, I'll have someone change it."
Duan Wei said this and slowly pushed open the door of the second bedroom.
Suddenly, an overwhelming amount of pink and blue macarons came towards her, making Ruan Qi dizzy.
she:"???"
Did she go to the wrong place?
Isn't this the Xi family mansion, but Disney?
Ruan Qi was confused and stood at the door of the second bedroom for a long time without daring to go in.
Seeing that she didn't move, Duan Wei thought she was restrained and embarrassed, so she turned around, walked over, took her hand and led her into the room.
Ruan Qi: “…”
The crescent white princess bed, light purple curtains and bed canopies, and all the furniture have been replaced with pearl white European palace style. The walls are covered with pink and blue wallpaper, and even the curtains are new, with ruffled lace and pleated princess pink, the style is both girlish and fresh.
In addition, Duan Wei may have been afraid that she would be lonely sleeping alone, so she added several dolls to the bed.
The dolls are all princess style, with pink and blue as the main color, and two of the little rabbits are wearing pink lace dresses.
Ruan Qi: “…”
Ruan Qi didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although she had a girlish heart, she had never lived in such a pink room. Looking at the bed full of dolls, she suddenly had the illusion that she was not twenty years old, but two years old.
"Aunt..." Ruan Qi opened her mouth. The room was so shocking that she didn't know how to start for a moment.
Duan Wei's soft voice rang in her ears: "I don't have a daughter, so I don't know what kind of decoration style a little girl would like. Your uncle said that little girls like pink, so I tried to prepare it. What do you think? If you don't like it, you can change it. I also prepared a set of blue."
Ruan Qi was stunned when she heard this and turned to look at Duan Wei.
Duan Wei's expression was as indifferent as ever, but her cold phoenix eyes hid a hint of concern and expectation.
Ruan Qi looked at her, and her heart suddenly softened into a pool of honey, falling onto the soft marshmallow.
Soft and sweet.
Just as sweet as her future mother-in-law.
A smile slowly appeared in Ruan Qi's peach blossom eyes.
She grabbed Duan Wei's hand and shook it twice like a spoiled child, her voice soft and delicate: "Thank you, Auntie, I love this room! I wanted a princess bed when I was a child, and you helped me realize it today~"
Duan Wei was over 1.7 meters tall, and Ruan Qi was half a head shorter than her. The little girl grabbed her hand, tilted her head back, and looked at her with sparkling eyes, the joy and admiration in her eyes as if she were really looking at her own mother.
Duan Wei's indifferent phoenix eyes were filled with warmth.
She raised her hand and rubbed the little girl's head a few times: "As long as you like it. If there is anything you are not used to, just tell me. This is your home, don't be restrained."
Ruan Qi nodded her head obediently.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the room.
Ruan Qi and Duan Wei turned around at the same time and saw Xi Jiu, who had changed into a black home suit, walking in with a plate of fruit.
It was also the first time that Xi Jiu saw the second bedroom after it was changed.
He stepped into the room and looked at the pink girl coming towards him, and his steady steps suddenly stopped.
He paused for half a second, and when he lifted his foot again, the footsteps sounded slightly heavier.
Xi Jiu: "This room..."
"This room is beautiful. My uncle decorated it for me!" Ruan Qi interrupted him quickly, turning her head and winking at him. "Jiujiu, do you think it looks good?"
Xi Jiu looked at the little girl whose eyes were about to pop out, was silent for a moment, and nodded against his conscience.
"It looks nice." Suitable for little girls under ten years old.
Seeing his cooperation, Ruan Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and smiled sweetly at Duan Wei, "Look, Auntie, even Jiujiu likes this room. It's really beautiful!"
A smile flashed in Duan Wei's eyes.
She pinched Ruan Qi's soft cheek, then turned to ask Xi Jiu: "What are you doing here?"
"Send some fruit." Xi Jiu pointed to the fruit plate in his hand.
Duan Wei nodded slightly: "Xiao Qi will check your father's health in a while, don't bother her, let her rest in the room for a while. Put down the fruit plate and come with me."
Xi Jiu knew that he could do nothing under the watchful eyes of his elders, so he obediently put down the fruit plate, rubbed the little girl's head, and left with Duan Wei.
The door to the second bedroom slowly closed.
Duan Wei turned her head and glanced at Xi Jiu, "Come with me to the terrace."
Xi Jiu didn't understand what was going on, so he followed her to the terrace at the end of the corridor.
Duan Wei cautiously closed the patio door. After making sure no one was eavesdropping, she lowered her voice and said to him, "Xiao Qi found that sketchbook in the drawer of your bookshelf this afternoon. How could you be so careless and not even lock the drawer?"
Xi Jiu's expression changed slightly.
"Did she see the paintings inside?"
"I don't know." Duan Wei shook her head. "She had already opened the notebook when I entered the room. I asked her what her drawing was like, and she said she had just opened it and hadn't had time to look at it yet. But I still feel unsure. What's on the first page of your sketchbook?"
Xi Jiu said hoarsely, "It was the scene of our first meeting in the fishing village, ten years ago, Xiao Qi."
Duan Wei frowned when she heard this.
"You shouldn't have kept something so dangerous in your bedroom. If you had to, at least put a lock on it. Luckily, I got there in time today. Otherwise, if Xiao Qi had read all the sketches, I wonder how you would explain it!"
Xi Jiu was also a little scared.
He had thought about locking the sketchbook away in a safe before. But that sketchbook was too important to him. Before he and Ruan Qi reunited, the drawings in it were his lifeblood. Without it by his pillow, he couldn't sleep.
Later, he got together with Ruan Qi, and the number of times he opened the sketchbook decreased rapidly.
But Ruan Qi has always had a ticking time bomb in her mind, and Xi Jiu's heart has always been hanging for her. He worries too much and is always awakened by nightmares at night.
After waking up in shock, Xi Jiu couldn't call Ruan Qi, so he could only take out the sketchbook and read it page by page to make himself feel a little relieved.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－
Mr. Xi woke up from a nightmare: I couldn’t sleep, holding the sketchbook and thinking about my wife, feeling wronged.

The update is complete. I want that red ticket. I hope you won't be ungrateful. [Hands on hips]
