Qi Mo, for the first time, agreed with Gu Zhou. "Even if you don't tell her, she'll find out later. It's better for you to be honest with her."
Okay!
Qi Nian was really persuaded. He got a headache when he thought about the three hundred chapters of misunderstanding and the one hundred chapters of chasing to the crematorium that Gu Zhou mentioned.
After the topic ended, Qi Nian stood up and left. But within half a minute, Qi Jing followed him, stealthily and with very light steps.
Seeing that there was something fishy going on, Gu Zhou immediately caught up with Qi Jing and said, "Get two invisibility talismans, and we'll eat the fish nearby."
"Wouldn't this be a bad idea?" Qi Jing hesitated. It would be enough to just eavesdrop. Wouldn't it be too much to use the invisibility talisman?
"It doesn't seem good, so be careful."
As Qi Nian just went downstairs, he saw three girls walking in the garden. They must have gone to the greenhouse. They were holding a few freshly picked flowers in their hands and were walking back.
Qi Nian thought about it and went over to meet her. Although he didn't quite understand the girl's mentality, he still found a more appropriate way to start, "Do you want to put the flowers in the room?"
Qi Huang and Qi Yue tacitly remained silent, so Mo Chuxia could only answer, "Well, the flowers in the greenhouse are very beautiful."
"There's none in my room. Can you help me pick one?" Qi Nian looked at Mo Chuxia and felt strange. Although Qi Jun had asked him to take care of Mo Chuxia before, this was the first time he took the initiative to talk to her.
Before Mo Chuxia could answer Qi Yue, she spoke first, "Sister Chuxia has better taste, so I'll leave it to you, Sister Chuxia."
After saying that, Qi Yue left with Qi Huang, but before they walked out of the garden, they saw two people and a fox hiding and eavesdropping.
Decisive, the two of them turned the corner and hid over to see if there was anything exciting.
Qi Nian and Mo Chuxia returned to the greenhouse. The temperature in Beijing was low in winter, so the Qi family had a specially built glass greenhouse with many kinds of flowers, all of which were very precious.
Mo Chuxia asked, "What kind do you like?"
"It's all fine." Qi Nian walked behind Mo Chuxia, seeing her feeling a little awkward, and thought that it was the marriage line that Jiaojiao mentioned that made Mo Chuxia embarrassed.
Qi Nian pursed his lips and chose to play the straight ball, "I had a girlfriend before, but we broke up."
Mo Chuxia suddenly stopped and her head exploded. For a moment, she didn't know what Qi Nian meant by what he said to her.
She smiled awkwardly, "Really?"
"Well, she's the illegitimate daughter of the Du family. My grandfather and Grandpa Du are friends. The two elders wanted us to get engaged before, but I didn't agree." Qi Nian paused and added, "She doesn't really like me."
Mo Chuxia was even more surprised, but she quickly figured it out. Qi Nian was an illegitimate daughter and she was a member of the Qi family. Regardless of whether Qi Nian could inherit the Qi family, she would be a wealthy wife if she could marry into the Qi family.
But Qi Nian's clear statement did surprise Mo Chuxia. She turned around and looked at Qi Nian with a complicated look in her eyes. It couldn't be said to be sympathy, but more of confusion.
Qi Nian met his gaze and said bluntly, "My uncle just told me that you don't need to worry too much about it."
Mo Chuxia now understood most of it. Her cheeks instantly turned red. She avoided Qi Nian's gaze and hummed in a low voice.
Seeing Mo Chuxia's eyes move away, Qi Nian was not sure what she meant. He could not guess, so he could only say, "The future head of the Qi family will be chosen from the eldest and second brothers. My role in the family is to help my brother so that he can take the position of head of the family smoothly."
Mo Chuxia was stunned for a moment. It was so straightforward, which meant it was a rejection.
As expected, she said that it was impossible for someone from the Qi family to find a daughter-in-law who was not of the same social status as her.
Mo Chuxia forced a smile, "I understand."
Qi Nian frowned, not sure what Mo Chuxia knew, but seeing Mo Chuxia's lost expression, he felt something was wrong.
Qi Nian immediately explained, "I will take care of these things, but not so quickly. You're still in college. If we get engaged now, I'm afraid they'll do something to you. If you're willing, I'd like to try to start slowly as friends."
The sudden reversal shocked Mo Chuxia even more. She looked at Qi Nian in surprise, "What... do you mean?"
Qi Nian was also a little confused, so he could only explain according to his own thoughts. "I don't want to have any misunderstandings with you, about your girlfriend or family matters. As for what's between us, I want to respect your choice. You are only twenty years old and shouldn't be tied to anyone, and I'm not sure how much time I need to be able to truly make my own decisions freely.
If you don't mind, I'd like to start with a normal relationship, not based on the marriage that my uncle said, which would be unfair to you."
The simple and calm words warmed Mo Chuxia's heart. She saw sincerity and consideration for her in Qi Nian's eyes.
Mo Chuxia couldn't help but look at him more seriously. "Actually, I only found out about this after Jiaojiao told me. Master Qi didn't say who it was before."
"My uncle said that the marriage line was not obvious before. He probably didn't say it because he was not sure."
Mo Chuxia nodded, "But I also have selfish motives. Master Qi said that I will meet a scumbag in the future, and my brother will also be implicated."
"Me too." Qi Nian showed a helpless smile. He showed the text message on his phone to Mo Chuxia, "My uncle said that I would be hurt badly by her. Although I unilaterally proposed to break up, she didn't give up."
Mo Chuxia took a half step back in panic when she saw the phone being handed to her. "This is your privacy. I can't see it."
"It's not private. I will accept her invitation later, and something should happen." Qi Nian handed the phone over calmly and told Mo Chuxia in simple words what happened between him and Lin Youyou in detail.
Qi Nian and Lin Youyou's encounter was quite ordinary. They met in college and his car accidentally hit Lin Youyou. It was a minor scratch, but Qi Nian still took Lin Youyou to the hospital.
After that, they met frequently on the university campus. Qi Nian saw Lin Youyou working part-time outside several times and felt that she was a very strong girl. After countless encounters and care, they slowly came together.
Of course, Qi Nian also talked about his situation at home. Because he was dissatisfied with his family's arrangements for him, he wanted to confront his family and even wanted to leave the Qi family at one point.
Mo Chuxia couldn't help but feel uncomfortable after hearing this, but she didn't ask about Qi Nian and his family situation. Instead, she asked, "Then why did you break up?"
Qi Nian was rather conflicted when it came to this. He thought for a few seconds before finally telling the truth. "The Qi family's rules state that the head of the family is chosen every eighty years, which means there's a gap of two generations. Contemporary Qi family members, regardless of gender, cannot..."
Qi Nian was a little stuck. He felt that it was really not a good idea to say these things to a girl.
Mo Chuxia didn't hear the rest of the story and guessed, "Could it be that we can't fall in love?"
