Qin Yaqing lowered her eyes and bit her lip without making a sound, which Qin Yanzheng took as tacit agreement.
“I don’t want to dwell on the past, but now that you’ve come back with your sister-in-law, settle down and stop thinking about those messy people.”
With an expression that was hard to discern as joy or anger, Qin Yanzheng stared directly at Qin Yaqing, his tone calm and devoid of any emotion: "Your job was arranged for you by your sister-in-law. Don't let her kindness go to waste, understand?"
Qin Yaqing nodded slightly: "Mm."
"You've been back for a while now, are you settling into work and life?"
Qin Yanzheng asked.
Qin Yaqing nodded again: "Mm."
After a moment of silence, Qin Yanzheng withdrew his gaze from Qin Yaqing and said softly, "Don't just stand there like an idiot, let's go eat." With that, he walked ahead, and Qin Yaqing paused for a moment before following him.
...
After dinner, without Song Lan giving any instructions, Qin Yaqing and Qin Yaxin cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. Qin Boyan, for some unknown reason, took the two little ones back to their room while Qin Yaqing and Qin Yaxin were clearing the dishes, and before leaving, he casually glanced at Wu Dong.
Then Wu Dong got up without saying a word and followed Qin Boyan and the two kids away.
"Shall we talk?"
"..."
What should we talk about?
Song Lan blinked and looked at the man sitting opposite her, thinking to herself: He's been busy with work for many days and finally got a holiday to go home. Instead of resting, he's chatting with her about this and that.
Let's go.
Qin Yanzheng got up and walked towards the room where he and Wu Dong lived.
Song Lan blurted out, "Can't we talk here?"
"Go to the room."
Turning to look at Song Lan, Qin Yanzheng's lips curved slightly, his eyes gentle, doting, and helpless: "I'm not a tiger, I can't eat you."
Upon hearing this, Song Lan's face instantly flushed crimson. She glared at the other person and exclaimed, "What are you saying about being hungry?!"
Qin Yanzheng let out a low chuckle and strode ahead with his long legs.
Song Lan felt extremely uncomfortable with his laughter, but she still got up and followed him.
"Let's begin."
The couple entered the room one after the other. Qin Yanzheng pointed to the chair next to the desk, but before he could speak, Song Lan's voice rang out behind him.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Qin Yanzheng let out another soft laugh.
"You...speak your mind!"
What are you laughing at? Is she that funny?
Song Lan felt uneasy and annoyed. She stared at the man's back, and if her gaze could materialize, she would have already stared a hole through it.
"sit."
Suppressing his laughter, Qin Yanzheng sat down on the edge of his bed and gestured for Song Lan to sit in a chair. The doting and tenderness in his dark eyes was almost overflowing.
Aren't you tired?
To cover up the discomfort caused by the man's laughter, Song Lan coughed twice, sat down in a chair, and casually asked a question.
"I think about you every day after work, and it makes me feel less tired. Do you miss me?"
Qin Yanzheng looked at his beloved wife with a smile in his eyes. Hearing what he said, Song Lan blushed again without hesitation. She met the man's gaze and said, "Can't you talk properly?"
"Didn't you miss me?"
Qin Yanzheng's expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book, and in the blink of an eye, he looked aggrieved.
"You...you can stop doing this, it's...it looks really awkward."
Song Lan was surprised by how quickly the man's expression changed, and then she couldn't bear to watch for a second.
"Wife, tell me, what can't I do?"
Suppressing his laughter, Qin Yanzheng asked.
"I have no idea."
Song Lan rolled her eyes at the other person and said, "If you don't speak properly, I'm leaving." She then made a move to get up.
"No, sit still, I'll tell you."
He raised his hand to stop Song Lan from leaving, and Qin Yanzheng returned to normal, but his gaze on Song Lan revealed a trace of affection. He said, "You haven't been home for many days. You must be tired!"
Also, thank you for bringing my younger sister back. And... I really miss you!
“I didn’t do anything at home, so I didn’t feel it was too hard. As for bringing my younger sister back, that was something we agreed on, and my younger brother came with me, so you don’t need to thank me.”
Song Lan's voice was soft and gentle. She deliberately avoided the man's last sentence and said, "When my second brother and I went to the village where my eldest sister was sent to work, we didn't hide anything and directly stated our purpose. It just so happened that my eldest sister broke up with that Wen Qiming, so she simply followed my second brother and me away."
[This guy is really something, he blurts everything out! Doesn't he feel embarrassed? I felt really uncomfortable listening to him. But, did I even think about him?]
Upon hearing Song Lan's thoughts, Qin Yanzheng raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.
I go to get off work and come home every day, and with my younger brother and sister-in-law by my side, my life is very fulfilling. It seems that I don't really think about having a husband.
If he knew, wouldn't he be extremely disappointed?
Qin Yanzheng thought to himself: I'm a little disappointed, my wife!
Okay, I have thought about it occasionally, wondering if he's eating and resting on time. After all, no matter how important work is, you can't neglect your health. What would happen to the family if something happened to him...?
In short, I hope he's doing well. Even though we haven't been together for long as husband and wife, Qin Yanzheng... he's really a good man. Since I said before that I wanted to live a good life with him, I'm not lying.
He looks a bit thinner. I need to take advantage of his vacation to help him get better.
By the way, I won't tell him about my sister's troubles, okay? Before going to pick her up, I was a little worried she wouldn't want to leave with me, because from what I know, this sister-in-law is quite stubborn.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been deceived both emotionally and physically by Wen Qiming in the original story, and would have ended up rolling down a hillside while pregnant.
Fortunately, when I met her, she hadn't been deceived by Wen Qiming yet, and the two had already broken off their relationship because Wen Qiming unilaterally broke up with her. Thankfully, Qin Yaqing, my sister-in-law, wasn't completely naive.
She knew that every penny she had taken from him was recorded, and before leaving Qiaoxingtun, she made him return the money and sever all ties with her.
Perhaps I was a bit harsh in my words to get my younger sister to leave that place, but in my opinion, it's like some illnesses won't get better unless you give them strong medicine.
As the eldest sister-in-law, I have a clear conscience.
If Qin Yanzheng knew what I said to my younger sister, he should understand me, right?
Song Lan lowered her eyelids slightly, so she naturally didn't see how tender and affectionate Qin Yanzheng's gaze was towards her. He really wanted to hold his silly girl in his arms and say to her, "No matter what you said to my younger sister, I believe you meant well for her!"
Time passed without her noticing. Song Lan came to her senses and looked up at the man: "Let's go back to Beijing after lunch tomorrow."
Qin Yanzheng asked, "You still have to work half a day?"
"Um."
Song Lan nodded and said, "Normally I would have to work the whole day, but I'm going back to Beijing to spend the New Year with my dad, so I took half a day off in advance."
