Old Lady Qin, Qin Zhijian, and Qin Junyi and his son faced Chu Jingqiu, while the other members of the Qin family had their backs to them.
The moment the car drove past them, she saw Qin Junyi and Qin Zhijian with beards and numb expressions, looking much more haggard than in the past few days. Old Mrs. Qin had messy hair, a face full of fear, and was trembling all over.
Chu Jingqiu watched the car go a long way before turning around. Xiao Yihan patted her shoulder and said softly, "Xiaoqiu, stop looking. The Qin family's evil deeds have been punished, and it's really gratifying to see them end up like this. Let's go!"
Chu Jingqiu smiled and nodded, and the two of them got on their bikes and continued forward.
Chu Jingqiu said with a smile: "Yihan, I didn't expect that I could see the Qin family in such an embarrassing state. I am so happy.
When I get home I’ll tell my grandpa and make him happy too.”
Xiao Yihan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and listened with enjoyment to the little girl chattering behind his car. Her voice was as sweet as a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
"Yihan, where are you taking me?"
Xiao Yihan said in a cheerful voice, "Let's go shopping in the department store. They have a wider variety of things there. I'll buy you some more things."
After a while, the two arrived at the department store. There were quite a few cars parked in front of the building, including some jeeps and some old-fashioned sedans. It was said that there were many embassy cars in it.
The department store was crowded with people and filled with a wide variety of goods. Xiao Yihan held Chu Jingqiu's hand tightly, fearing that she would be squeezed away.
Xiao Yihan led her directly to the second floor. They first came to the shoe and hat counter. Xiao Yihan took a fancy to a pair of small sheepskin leather boots. "Xiaoqiu, let me buy you a pair of boots. The winter in the Northern Province is very cold. These are full of wool and will keep you warm."
Chu Jingqiu shook his head. "I have boots, no need to buy them. I'll buy you a pair!"
Xiao Yihan didn't say anything and pushed her to sit there, and asked the salesperson to help her get a pair to try.
The saleswoman was a kind older woman. She smiled and said, "Comrade, what size does this little girl wear?"
Xiao Yihan looked at Chu Jingqiu, who smiled and said, "I wear a size 36."
The salesperson brought them a pair of size 36 boots. Xiao Yihan half-knelt on the ground, took off Chu Jingqiu's right shoe, and put on a new pair of boots for her to try on.
After Chu Jingqiu put on her clothes, Xiao Yihan helped her stand up. She felt it was just right.
The saleswoman smiled and said, "Little girl, look how good your brother is to you. He's so patient in helping you put on your shoes. It's rare to find such a thoughtful and patient man."
Chu Jingqiu was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said to Xiao Yihan jokingly, "Brother, this pair of boots is quite suitable. Let's take this one!"
When Xiao Yihan heard Chu Jingqiu call him like that, he felt his heart melt and hurriedly paid the salesperson 38 yuan and a shoe ticket.
The two of them left the shoe and hat counter, carrying their boots. Chu Jingqiu said with a smug look on his face, "Haha, you've become my brother. We've become brother and sister. It's interesting for a brother to buy boots for his sister."
Xiao Yihan snorted coldly, "Xiaoqiu, call me brother again. I feel itchy inside. I haven't heard enough. I am your lover brother!"
Chu Jingqiu's smile froze, and she said coquettishly, "Humph, I can never beat you. You always take advantage of me."
Xiao Yihan smiled and pulled her to his chest. Chu Jingqiu was embarrassed: "What are you doing? There are so many people here. Be careful of the impact."
Xiao Yihan laughed out loud, "What can I do in public? I'm just comparing your height to that of a dwarf like you. I'm 187cm tall, and if you stand next to me, I estimate you're about 166cm tall!
Chu Jingqiu shouted, "Who's the short one? I'm 168cm tall. You missed by two centimeters."
Xiao Yihan smiled and teased her, "Okay, you are 168cm tall, so you are not short. How come you have such small feet and wear size 36 shoes?
I remember the first time I saw you, you had one bare foot. I bought you a size 38, which must have been too big for you. I suspect you had your feet bound when you were a child.
Chu Jingqiu slapped him and said, "Go away, you just want to make fun of me."
The two were laughing and joking when a discordant voice came from the side, "Captain Xiao is in a good mood, flirting with a woman in the department store!"
The two turned around and saw that it was the regiment leader Li Kunpeng, with Wang Yingying and Zhang Liwen beside him. The three of them were smiling with ill intentions.
Xiao Yihan smiled coldly and said, "My fiancée and I are in love, but it's nothing compared to Captain Li, who is surrounded by people. I'm truly blessed."
Li Kunpeng said unyieldingly, "Compared to Captain Xiao, I admit I am inferior. I don't have Captain Xiao's good fortune in love, and I haven't found a partner yet. How about asking Captain Xiao to help me find a sister-in-law like him?"
Xiao Yihan slowly clenched his fists, then released them. "I heard that Captain Li married and had children back home. How can he still be looking for a partner? Isn't that illegal?"
Wang Yingying and Zhang Liwen looked at Li Kunpeng in surprise at the same time. Li Kunpeng said in a panic: "Yingying, don't listen to his nonsense. I'm divorced. It was an arranged marriage. I will resolutely fight against arranged marriages to the end."
Xiao Yihan then sarcastically said, "Captain Li, please comfort your new love. We won't be accompanying you any longer. I'm busy shopping for an engagement gift with my fiancée!"
Wang Yingying hurried over to explain, "Captain Xiao, please don't misunderstand me. We just met by chance. It's not what you think."
Chu Jingqiu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Comrade Wang, the relationship between you and Captain Li has nothing to do with Yi Han. You don't have to be so anxious to distance yourself from your relationship. I wish you happiness."
Xiao Yi glanced at Wang Yingying coldly, gave her a warning look, and then took Chu Jingqiu's hand and walked towards another counter.
When Wang Yingying heard that Xiao Yihan was going to get engaged to Chu Jingqiu, she stared at Xiao Yihan's handsome and tall back with disappointment.
Not until she could no longer see Xiao Yihan's back did she turn around and lean against Zhang Liwen as if she had lost her soul.
Zhang Liwen patted Wang Yingying's shoulder and whispered, "Yingying, why are you doing this? A forced melon is not sweet. Why do you have to hang yourself on a tree?
It can be seen that Xiao Yihan loves that woman very much, so don't be so stubborn."
Wang Yingying hugged Zhang Liwen, tears welling up in her eyes, "Wenwen, before I even met Xiao Yihan, I had heard of his reputation. People said that Captain Xiao of the Independent Regiment was a 'genius boy,' 'jade-faced instructor,' and 'jade-faced Yama.'
I was dismissive at the time. I had so many suitors, but I never took them seriously.
It was not until that consolation performance, when he walked into the auditorium, that my heart was pounding, and I finally understood what it meant to be "a man as beautiful as jade, a young man unparalleled in the world."
He was born with a kingly air, and sitting among that group of people, he really stood out from the crowd, and no one could compare to him.
I really can't let go, he has entered my heart, what should I do."
