Chapter 83 Extra 3

On weekends, Qiu Yi had to go back to Tao Luanxi's house and couldn't even take care of the business in the store. He pestered Tao Luanxi every day to ask about his parents' taste preferences, and was as nervous as a young boy on his first date.

Qiu Yi seldom wears suits, but he dragged Tao Luanxi, who was on vacation at home, to the mall. After looking around, he couldn't find a suitable one.

Tao Luanxi was getting impatient: "You've seen my parents before, right? Besides, we already have suits at home, why do you have to buy new ones?"

"It's fine if you wear those clothes for daily wear, but how can you be so casual when meeting your parents?"

Tao Luanxi muttered: "I didn't see you being so grand even in high school!"

Qiu Yi smiled and handed a few suits in his hand to the clerk: "Pack them all up."

"If I had known that this would happen after we arrived, I would have worn formal clothes." Qiu Yi smiled and pinched Tao Luanxi's face, not caring at all about the eyes of the guests around him.

Just as he finished speaking, Qiu Yi's phone lit up. Qiu Yi picked it up and said a few words, then he rubbed his forehead helplessly: "Something happened in the store, I'll go over there first, and take you back first?"

"No need," Tao Luanxi waved her hands, "I'm just going to change my glasses, you go first!"

"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done."

Tao Luanxi smiled and waved to Qiu Yi, watching his hurriedly leaving back with great satisfaction. When he walked out of the stage gate, Tao Luanxi took out her cell phone and sent a message to Zhang Zhi.

[Well done, we finally got rid of that dog-skin plaster! ]

[Of course not! Don't worry about me, sister-in-law! Just introduce me to some beauties from your law firm.]

Tao Luanxi put away her phone and went straight to the jewelry counter on the first floor.

Tao Luanxi stayed in there for more than two hours. When he came out, he was exhausted both physically and mentally, even more tired than after reading files all night. Tao Luanxi closed his eyes and rubbed his brows. When he was about to find a car to go home, he heard someone calling his name.

Tao Luanxi turned her head and saw a man standing at the door of the cafe next door. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and had a cold look on his face, looking like he wanted to keep people away.

Tao Luanxi narrowed her eyes: "Lin Fan?"

"I didn't expect to see you here again. I came over for a cup of tea. Do you want to join me?"

In fact, Tao Luanxi was not willing to have any contact with Lin Fan secretly. Although this person was not the culprit who caused her to transfer, he must not be an easy person to deal with as he had been the secretary of Qiu Mingde for so many years.

Tao Luanxi seemed to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered another thing and agreed.

The environment of the coffee shop here is quite quiet. The two of them sat down. Lin Fan folded his hands and smiled faintly: "To be honest, I'm surprised that you are willing to come. After all, your attitude was not very friendly when I spoke to you on the phone last time."

Tao Luanxi shrugged nonchalantly: "To be honest, I don't need to contact anyone from the Qiu family. After all, except for Qiu Yi, the Qiu family and I are half enemies, so actually, I don't need to answer your call."

Lin Fan's smile remained unchanged, and there was even a hint of amusement and appreciation in his eyes: "I didn't realize it before, but you really are a tough guy."

"I have always been like this, but you just thought too highly of yourself and refused to look down and take a serious look."

"So, what did you want to say to your enemy's secretary when you came here today?"

"I will consider and advise Qiu Yi about his situation, but the final decision is in his hands. I have no right to interfere."

"Okay," Lin Fan nodded. "If you are willing to persuade him, the chances of Qiu Yi coming back will be higher. So, what do you want?"

"I want to meet Qiu Mingde."

Lin Fan's eyes turned cold, and he squinted his eyes to examine Tao Luanxi. After a while, he spoke: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to go back and discuss it with Chairman Qiu before giving me a reply."

"It's up to you," Tao Luanxi took a sip of coffee and said, "But remember to tell your boss. My patience and time are limited. Let him do it as soon as possible!"

Two days before the weekend, Tao Luanxi saw a text message from Lin Fan at home - [He agreed.]

Tao Luanxi didn't expect that this time she would meet Qiu Mingde in the hospital. Compared to when he was in high school, Qiu Mingde is now finally a complete old man.

The fragrance of flowers was refreshing in the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital, but it still blocked the strong smell of aging in the air. Qiu Mingde sat in a wheelchair with tubes inserted in his hands, staring out the window with his cloudy eyes.

Tao Luanxi walked in, without bowing or smiling, and called out indifferently, "Chairman Qiu."

Qiu Mingde slowly turned his head and saw the handsome young man standing at the door of the room. His features were still the same as the young man he had seen before the New Year, but he was more confident, calm, and handsome. Qiu Mingde had a flash of thought. If it weren't for many things that happened in the past, he would definitely have recruited such a person to the Qiu family. But unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.

"Just tell me what you want to say!"

You are really rude. Tao Luanxi sneered in his heart, but his face did not reveal any emotion. He walked up to Qiu Mingde, took the document that was about to fall from the other's trembling hand, straightened it on the table, and put it back in Qiu Mingde's hand.

"I haven't seen you for so many years. I came to see you on behalf of Qiu Yi."

Qiu Mingde stared at him, his eyes no longer having the intimidation they once had.

Tao Luanxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to dwell on the past. Qiu Yi and I still have a long way to go, and we don't have time to dwell on the past."

"Are you so sure that you can stay with Qiu Yi until the end?" Qiu Mingde snorted coldly: "Even biological mother and son can turn against each other, how can you tie Qiu Yi down for life?"

Tao Luanxi laughed: "I don't need to tie him up. In fact, the reason is very simple. If any of you really have the ability to take him away from me, you can do it."

Tao Luanxi narrowed his eyes: "It's not that I have any special ability, but no one else has this ability except me."

The documents in Qiu Mingde's hand were dented. Tao Luanxi looked at his dead wood-like hands and the documents on the table, and sighed, "You have more documents than I do? It must be hard work."

After Qiu Yi left, only Qiu Yunzhi and the good-for-nothing children of several cousins ​​were left in the Qiu family. Qiu Mingde cherished the results of his life and refused to give in. Until now, he still insisted on handling the company's affairs personally. How could it not be hard?

"As for Qiu Yi, I will give him some good advice so that you can rest early and enjoy your old age."

"Do you care whether I'm tired or not?" Qiu Mingde sneered: "Aren't you hoping that I'll die sooner?"

"You are Qiu Yi's elder, and naturally my elder as well. I certainly hope you live a long and safe life."

"You want to enter the Qiu family?" Qiu Mingde narrowed his eyes: "There are so many people in the world, but you are the only one I will never agree to!"

Tao Luanxi bent down, raised a finger in front of Qiu Mingde and shook it: "It's not me who entered your house, it's Qiu Yi who entered my house."

Qiu Mingde was stunned and couldn't react for a long time.

Tao Luanxi touched her head, her face flushed with discomfort: "I came here today just to say this. If everything goes well, we may get married."

On the way back, Qiu Yi drove the car. This guy sat upright all the way, holding the steering wheel tightly. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a novice on the road for the first time. Tao Luanxi was nervous, afraid that he would really scratch or bump into something, so he looked at the road nervously all the way.

After arriving home safely, Qiu Yi carried the gift box, straightened his newly bought suit, turned to Tao Luanxi and said, "Do you think this is okay?"

Tao Luanxi folded his arms across his chest and looked at him: "I don't think it's very good."

"Isn't it?" Qiu Yi regretted: "If I had known earlier, I should have brought all five suits with me, at least I would have something to change into!"

"You're just walking on the catwalk like a model!" Tao Luanxi stretched out her hand and pinched Qiu Yi's face: "You're so handsome! What are you worrying about?"

When I entered the house, a little golden retriever came bouncing to greet me. After Tao Luanxi went to college, he took Silly Girl away with him. Tao's father missed his dog so much that he bought another one.

"Are you here?" Mr. Tao was sitting in the living room and waved at the two of them: "Come in, your mother is cooking."

When Qiu Yi was standing at the door, he was as nervous as a piece of wood. However, when he saw his parents, he immediately switched to dog-licking mode. He shamelessly accepted the title of "your mother", put down the gift, and went into the kitchen to help.

Tao's father frowned as he looked at the tall figure who obviously didn't match the pots and pans at all, and poked Tao Luanxi: "Is he like this when you were at home?"

Tao Luanxi just found some yogurt from the refrigerator, tore off the lid and licked the top, then looked at Qiu Yi's back and couldn't help but smile.

"Anyway, he is the one who usually does most of the housework."

Mr. Tao had a constipated expression on his face. It was hard to imagine a 1.9-meter-tall man wearing an apron and doing housework at home.

Qiu Yi cooked a few dishes and brought out the plates to invite Tao's father to eat. Qiu Yi was the talkative one among the family of four. He talked about the things that happened when he and Tao Luanxi lived together like a crosstalk, and he even added his own laughter from time to time, which made the show very effective.

Tao Luanxi ate her meal while trying to hold back her laughter, letting Qiu Yi do everything he could to please his parents.

During the meal, Qiu Yi was faster than Mother Tao. He quickly cleaned up the dishes and prepared to wash them. Father Tao quickly stopped him and said, "Hey, hey, hey, leave them there. You are a guest, how can we ask you to do the work?"

Qiu Yi smiled brightly: "It's okay, I'm used to doing it at home, and besides, it's my duty to respect you!"

"No, sit down!"

Qiu Yi immediately put down his bowl and sat down obediently.

Tao's father rubbed his hands and breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, you and our Xixi have been together for so many years, and his mother and I have seen it all. Our family has never had any high expectations for children. We just want them to be happy. As long as you two live happily, his mother and I have nothing to say."

"Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom." Qiu Yi grabbed Tao Luanxi's hand and interlocked their fingers: "I swear, I will do my best to take good care of Xixi!"

Although he still seemed a little uncomfortable with Qiu Yi's call of "Dad", Mr. Tao still nodded and reluctantly accepted it.

"When you have time, you can tear up the certificate. It will also put our minds at ease. No matter which country the certificate is from, at least there is proof."

"Dad!" Tao Luanxi thought of the two men's wedding rings that she had left at the jewelry store. She had originally planned to propose when she got home, but after hearing his disturbance, her surprise instantly dropped a level.

Then Qiu Yi seemed very excited and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I thought so too!"

In the afternoon, Tao Luanxi and Qiu Yi took their golden retriever to the park for a walk. They walked to the intersection and Qiu Yi held Tao Luanxi's hand: "Do you remember? Here, that night, I discovered your secret in the park."

"How could I forget such a terrifying thing?" Tao Luanxi looked at the intersection and sighed, "I was scared to death at that time."

Qiu Yi smiled and said, "Luckily I found it, otherwise we wouldn't be here now."

"Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten involved with someone like you."

Qiu Yi kissed Tao Luanxi on the face: "Xixi, from now on, we will be together."

"Apart from those two years, have we ever been apart?"

"No, that's great." Qiu Yi took Tao Luanxi's hand and kissed her lips gently. The lingering kiss made Tao Luanxi feel dizzy. When she came to her senses, a cold thing was already on her hand.

"What is it?" Tao Luanxi withdrew her hand and looked down. She saw a shiny silver ring on her ring finger.

Tao Luanxi was confused: "What is this?"

"Wedding ring." Qiu Yi put his forehead against his: "Xixi, will you marry me?"

Tao Luanxi half opened her mouth, looking at the ring in her hand, and after a long pause she finally uttered, "Damn!"

???

Tao Luanxi trembled as she looked at the ring on her hand and said in frustration, "When did you prepare it?"

Qiu Yi touched the back of his head and said, "I bought it after the college entrance examination. I originally planned to find a time to give it to you after I returned this time. I didn't expect your father to bring it up at noon today. I thought about it and decided to bring it forward."

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Tao Luanxi sighed and said, "I'm still one step behind you!"

Tao Luanxi looked up at Qiu Yi, who was in a daze, and said regretfully, "My ring is still in the jewelry store. I was planning to propose to her when I got back!"

“…”

"What is this? What is this?" Tao Luanxi looked at the ring in her hand: "I agreed to marry you! Why is it you who put the ring on me!!!"

Qiu Yi quickly grabbed Tao Luanxi's hand and said, "Once you put it on, you are not allowed to take it off!"

"Qiu Yi, you are a bastard!" Tao Luanxi was furious and stretched out her hand to pinch Qiu Yi's face: "You don't keep your word, you are a liar!"

Qiu Yi didn't cry out in pain, but hugged Tao Luanxi tightly with a smile: "You admit you're a liar, who told you you're not as fast as me!"

Damn, who made me not as fast as him!

Tao Luanxi held Qiu Yi's face in her hands, ignored the surprised looks of passers-by, and kissed him fiercely on the lips.

"If you marry me, you have to be responsible for me! I'm telling you, I'm eyeing the Qiu family's inheritance, so go grab it for me!"

"good!"

"From now on, you will only be nice to me, only look at me, and only serve me!"

"good."

"No more topless work clothes. Do you know how sexy you look? Why would you let others see you like that?"

"good."

Tao Luanxi panted and gasped, and his voice finally weakened: "I, can't think of it for the time being."

"Don't worry, you can make up for it later if you want!" Qiu Yi embraced Tao Luanxi with his hands on her knees and lifted her up.

"Honey, let's go home!"
