Chu Jingqiu watched her grandfather walk briskly towards the mall with Jiang Jiang without looking back, and she sighed helplessly.
She could only accept her fate and look through her father's paintings. Chu Baichuan was a painting fanatic. He loved painting as if it were his life, and all his paintings were placed in a large camphorwood box.
She checked and found that there were about a dozen boxes, each with a label that said one of the two types of collection and the other one he had painted.
She looked at the label and first opened a box that contained her father's collection of paintings. Inside was a lot of small camphor wood boxes.
She opened them one by one and began to examine them, first looking at the words on the paintings, then checking for any interlayers, leaving no corner unchecked.
Every painting in this box can be sold at a sky-high price in the future. Her father is truly a hidden rich man.
By the time she finished checking the box of paintings, it was almost five o'clock and she had found nothing. She was so tired that her back and waist ached.
She patted her waist, did some stretching exercises, and felt much better.
Because she had a date with Xiao Yihan in the evening, she planned to go find her grandfather and urge him to go home.
She contacted Jiang Jiang through her consciousness, and Jiang Jiang told her that Mr. He was watching a 3D movie in the cinema.
She teleported to the 3D cinema and found her grandfather, Jiang Jiang, and their dog wearing 3D glasses, drinking milk tea, and watching cartoons. Her grandfather laughed from time to time.
She walked over to them and said with a smile, "Grandpa, it's getting late. We should go home. You can continue watching it another day!"
Mr. He waved his hand and said, “Xiao Qiu, please let me finish watching it. It’s almost over. It’s so interesting.
There are so many cute little animals here, I don’t know where these actors found them from.”
Chu Jingqiu chuckled, "Grandpa, this is a computer-generated painting. They can draw whatever they want. It's not a real actor's performance.
Grandpa, you still have an hour to finish looking at it. We can't go back too late. If grandma comes to the old house to look for us, we'll be exposed.
Besides, I have to go to a show with Yihan tonight, so please move out of the space first and let’s go home!”
When Grandpa He heard that his granddaughter had a date, he suddenly smiled happily, "Yi Han asked you out! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Let's go home. Grandpa can't delay your date."
They quickly left the space and slowly strolled back to the compound from the park.
After arriving home, Chu Jingqiu went straight back to her room. She was going to see her love rivals tonight, so she had to dress herself up beautifully and crush them with her aura.
She first applied a light nude makeup, her eyes looking large and clear, like a spring, captivating you. Her eyebrows were like distant black ink, her nose was delicate, her lips were red. It was impossible not to want to kiss her.
She found a brown coat from her space, put on the red turtleneck sweater that Xiao Yihan had bought for her, and wore black straight pants and small leather shoes. She looked slim and graceful.
She tied her hair half up and half down, with a big black bow on it, making her look gentle and sweet.
When she was almost done packing, she heard her grandmother calling her downstairs, "Xiao Qiu, Yi Han is here to pick you up, come down quickly after you've packed!"
Chu Jingqiu responded, walked out of his room, and slowly walked down the stairs.
Xiao Yihan was sitting in the living room chatting with Mr. He. When he saw Chu Jingqiu coming down from upstairs, his eyes lit up. Chu Jingqiu was breathtakingly beautiful, fresh and refined today.
He Manwen and Li Peilan looked at their beautiful girl, feeling a sense of joy that their daughter had grown up. Seeing Xiao Yihan's infatuated eyes, Li Peilan coughed lightly, and Xiao Yihan quickly retracted his inappropriate gaze.
Xiao Yihan also cleared his cough to cover up his previous gaffe. Chu Jingqiu smiled secretly in his heart, feeling that his goal had been achieved. With this outfit, he would definitely be able to crush those rivals.
She smiled and said, "Grandma, Mom, we are going out, bye!"
As she was about to walk out, her grandmother suddenly called her, "Xiao Qiu, come here for a moment. I want to talk to you."
Chu Jingqiu followed her grandmother to the kitchen. Her grandmother lowered her voice and said, "Xiaoqiu, you and Yihan are dating now, but you haven't gotten married yet. You two can't... do that before you get married."
Chu Jingqiu pretended to be confused and asked, "Grandma, what are you doing? What do you want to say?"
Li Peilan deliberately said with a dark face: "When you came out of the room that day, your lips were swollen. Your grandmother Xiao and I saw it. Girls should be reserved and know when to stop. Only after you get married can you two... can you..."
Chu Jingqiu felt that her grandmother was having a hard time talking, so she asked directly, "Is it true that we can't have sex before marriage?"
Grandma glared at him and said, "You unlucky child, are you still a girl? You dare to say anything."
Chu Jingqiu said with a smile: "Grandma, I saw that you were feeling uncomfortable, so I said it for you!"
He Manwen found it funny and interrupted, "Mom, Yihan and Xiaoqiu are both sensible children. Xiaoqiu wouldn't do that. She was just teasing you!"
Grandma glanced at He Manwen and said, "You know what? Our Xiaoqiu is so beautiful. I can't take my eyes off her. I'm afraid Yihan won't be able to control himself, so I'm giving Xiaoqiu a warning."
Chu Jingqiu patted Li Peilan, clenched her fists, and raised her arms, shouting, "Grandma, don't worry! I will definitely protect my chastity to the death and will never cross the line."
Li Peilan chuckled, "Let's go, let's go, you're just a weird kid, be careful when you come back at night, got it?"
Chu Jingqiu waved to her grandmother and pulled Xiao Yihan out of the house.
Xiao Yihan opened the car door for Chu Jingqiu and let her get in the passenger seat. Then he sat in the driver's seat and the two drove out of the compound.
As soon as they walked out of the courtyard, Xiao Yihan glanced at Chu Jingqiu and said, "Xiaoqiu, choose what you want to eat!"
Chu Jingqiu stared at Xiao Yihan's handsome profile and said, "I don't know what to eat either. Anything will do."
Xiao Yihan smiled and said, "I knew this would be the answer. I'll take you to Lao Mo for some Western food! Okay?"
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "Okay, it's your treat anyway. Eating Lao Mo once would cost you several days' salary. I'm afraid I'll eat you out of money."
Xiao Yihan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Money is earned to be spent. You can eat whatever you want, but can you really eat me out of money? A man must be able to support his woman!"
Although Xiao Yihan was driving, he would steal glances at Chu Jingqiu from time to time. Chu Jingqiu glared at him and said, "Yihan, why are you always stealing glances at me instead of driving properly? Is there something on my face?"
Xiao Yihan pinched her little hand and said, "Xiaoqiu, you look different today than usual. You are so beautiful that I can't help but look at you. I don't want to look away at all."
