Chapter 187 Going Home for the New Year
When Qi Xu realized that there were two foreign men following him, she was so embarrassed that she quickly covered her face.
"Lin Youqian, why did you bring someone else home?! Ah~ This is so embarrassing, wuwuwu!"
Lin Youqian's lips curled up unconsciously, and then quickly flattened.
He said in a calm voice. "You know it's embarrassing, but you still wear it. Go change quickly."
Qi Xu's eyes were red and misty. She wanted to cry but held back and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Change it if you want. If you don't like looking at it, I don't like wearing it either!"
Lin Youqian felt a little distressed when he heard her aggrieved voice, and his tone softened.
"I asked you to change because today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. We are going back to our hometown to spend the New Year with Grandma and Mom. Do you want to come in as a vixen?"
"As long as you're not shy, I have no problem with that."
Qi Xu took off her makeup and clothes, put on a tightly wrapped down jacket, angrily stuffed the furry fox costume into the garbage bag, and rushed downstairs at lightning speed, throwing it into the trash can.
After seeing her angry behavior from the window, Lin Youqian ran downstairs, picked up the bag of garbage, and secretly hid it in the trunk of the car.
He hasn't had enough of seeing such beautiful clothes yet, it would be a shame to throw them away.
"What's going on? Is the proud Seventh Miss of the Fox Clan angry and out of shame?"
Qi Xu was silent. This time she was really angry. This man had never treated her well since he came back from Yishan.
He also said that he would spoil her, love her, and protect her for the rest of his life, but that was all fake. Now he has a falling out with her and doesn't even call her "baby" or "Qiqi" anymore, but calls her "Miss Qi".
"Yes, let Colonel Lin laugh at me and treat me as a slut!"
Lin Youqian didn't want to argue with her. Some things, once argued, were too hurtful, and there was no room for redemption.
"I'm not laughing at you. In fact, you look pretty good dressed as a vixen."
It was useless to be slow to react and to praise him after such a long time. Qi Xu was still very angry.
From the time she got on the bus to the time she returned to her old home, a journey of several hours, she didn't say a word, sulking alone in the back seat.
Lin Youqian concentrated on driving, ignored her and didn't want to coax her.
It was clearly her who did something wrong, but there was no apology, no explanation, only betrayal and deception. He was filled with grievances, but in the end he had to indulge her.
After getting off the bus, the couple smiled brightly, knowing each other. Even if they quarreled during the Lunar New Year, they couldn't bring the fight back home and worry their elders.
"Wife, wait, bring the gift."
It was rare that Lin Youqian remembered to prepare gifts. Qi Xu was so angry about this that he almost forgot to celebrate the New Year.
"Honey, it's too heavy. You have to carry it yourself. I can't lift it!"
In front of the servants, the two of them sang in unison and performed with great devotion.
The housekeeper and bodyguards hurriedly took over the large and small packages.
"Master, I'll do it, I'll do it. You and the young mistress should hurry up. The mistress and the old lady have been waiting for a long time."
Lin Youqian caught up with Qi Xu, held her hand, and walked side by side. Neither of them spoke, and Qi Xu didn't shake him off.
It was not until they went upstairs that Qi Xu broke free from his big hand and rushed towards Ms. Wen and Grandma Lin.
"Mom, Grandma! I'm back!"
"Oh, my precious daughter-in-law is back. She's so good. Let mommy give her a good hug!"
Ms. Wen and Grandma Lin stood on either side, each holding Qi Xu and asking him questions.
"How are you getting along with Yuqian now? Is it sweet?"
"Is that brat nice to you? Has he ever bullied you?"
"When are you two going to have a baby? Grandma can't wait to hold her great-grandchildren!"
…
Qi Xu smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. She and Lin Youqian hadn't even consummated their marriage yet, so how could they possibly have a baby?
Ms. Wen held her face, looked left and right, and found a very obvious problem.
"Baby, why are you so thin? You've lost a lot of fat on your face. Have you not been eating well recently? Are you hungry?"
I have to say that Ms. Wen has really sharp eyes and can see through the truth at a glance.
She had indeed lost two kilograms and was really hungry.
The main problem was the army's communal meals, which were terrible and she couldn't cook. Plus, she had to get up at 6 a.m. every day to get breakfast in the cafeteria, and since she was lazy, she simply skipped a meal, and before she knew it, she was starving and losing weight.
Lin Youqian glanced at her secretly.
It seems to be true. I just haven't cooked for her for a few days, but this woman has really lost weight. Her small body is quite precious.
"Youqian, the food in your army is terrible, and you don't even know how to make something delicious for Qiqi. If it's really not possible, move out. Mom will hire a special nutritionist to cook for her."
"You've turned a pretty, fair-skinned wife into a skinny monkey in just a few days. You really don't care about her at all."
Qi Xu said with a smile. "Mom, I'm not that pretentious. I'm not thin at all. I still have all the fat on my body."
Lin Youqian glanced at her again. It seemed that she had not shrunk in the vixen's clothes and was still very plump.
The face is thinner and looks more delicate, and at least the parts that shouldn’t be thin are not thinner.
"After the New Year, I will start school soon. Then I will move out and won't have to eat from the same pot every day."
Lin Youqian's heart skipped a beat.
The little woman was moving? Was she going to live in the dormitory again? How could he live with her then?
"No need to move. If you can't get used to the army cafeteria, I'll cook for you every day as usual."
Ms. Wen had never known he could cook and was surprised.
"You can cook? Is the food you cook edible? Don't poison our Qiqi!"
Lin Youqian is more wronged than Dou E.
He really wanted to say that the one who could actually poison someone by cooking is this beloved daughter-in-law in front of you.
Qi Xu lowered his head in embarrassment and defended Lin Youqian.
"He can cook, and his cooking skills are pretty good. But he's very busy and has to work overtime until late at night. So it's better for me to move out. I can't let him, a grown man, be my cook every day!"
Ms. Wen felt something was amiss. "Working late every day? And you're home alone?"
"Mom, sometimes I go shopping, read books, and watch TV shows. I can't just cling to him every day and not let him work. I'll be going to school in half a month."
When Ms. Wen heard this, she felt something was wrong. "Studying? Didn't you graduate? Why are you still studying?"
"Graduate school? I've been admitted to the medical university's graduate program and I want to continue my studies to become an even better doctor, Dr. Qi."
Ms. Wen raised her hand to interrupt her.
"Wait, hold on. You're going to graduate school? Doesn't that take another three years?"
"Ayou is in the army and can't be relied upon. I was thinking of asking you to take over some of the business and help me share the burden. So you two just want to be hands-off bosses and not shoulder any of the Lin family's responsibilities?"
"I, your mother, am 54 years old this year. I've already entered old age. Can you let me take some time off and enjoy my life for a few days?"
