âCheers to your late but fortunately not too late love.â
Qiao Weiyang raised the glass in her hand and said sincerely to Xiao Qing.
Zhuojing Villa.
In the morning.
In the living room, Lu Gecheng was sitting on the sofa, playing the guitar and humming the new song he had written.
If he was anywhere in the world, a crowd would definitely gather around him, eager to see him.
If there was a camera that was here to record it, it would definitely be a million-dollar shot.
However, this sight was too common in Zhuojing Villa. Not only did no one clap and admire him, but no one even looked at him.
Jingyun and Xiao Bao were busy eating. Once they were done, they ran to the car to go to school.
The butler busied himself.
Su Zhuoqian picked up his napkin and elegantly wiped the corners of his lips. After putting it down, he stood up and left the dining hall.
âBrother, Brother, tell me what you think of my newest song.â Lu Gecheng looked at him sincerely.
âItâs not bad.â
âCanât you say more things?â Lu Gecheng was hurt. âYou didnât treat me like this in the past.â
Su Zhuoqian glanced at him. âAs long as you leave the door, someone will definitely praise you. Why must you make things difficult for me?â
âHow can their praise compare to my brotherâs?â Lu Gecheng smiled. âRight, Brother?â
Qiao Weiyang was coming downstairs when she saw the two brothers bickering. Although they were adults and gentler, they still looked a little like Jingyun and Xiao Bao.
It turned out that this was the power of genetics.
âSister-in-law, do you want to hear my new song?â
Su Zhuoqian refused on her behalf. âNo, weâre going out.â
âAlright, letâs forget it since youâre in a hurry. Iâll play it for you later.â Lu Gecheng could also tell that the two of them were in a hurry. He did not know what they were busy with.
âWeâre indeed in a hurry. We have to go out on a date before Xiao Bao and Jingyun come back,â Su Zhuoqian said lightly.
Lu Gecheng spat out a mouthful of blood. âCanât you consider the feelings of a single man like me? Seriously!â
As they were going out on a date, they did not bring along a driver and it was Su Zhuoqian who drove. Qiao Weiyang thought of their bickering and could not help but want to laugh.
âHas Lu Gecheng always been like this?â
âYes, he acts like a child at home. If his fans find out, they might be disillusioned. Maybe he knows his situation well, so he doesnât go out except for work.â
Qiao Weiyang laughed hard. âYour personalities are so different.â
âDo you think weâre like Xiao Bao and Jingyun?â
âMore or less.â Qiao Weiyang pursed her lips and chuckled, feeling very happy and relaxed.
They were driving along a mountain road. The wind blew in gently from outside, and they found it refreshing.
Today, they were going out to play, so Qiao Weiyang wore a comfortable T-shirt and jeans. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she looked completely different from when she usually attended events.
Soon, the car arrived at a mountainous area and stopped.
It was a very big amusement park. The rides here were suitable for adults.
Probably because it was a weekday, there were not many people.
There were more staff than guests.
Qiao Weiyang thought for a while and reached out to cover her face with a mask.
âNo need for that. This is a private place with a membership system. The people here are all very prestigious.â
They wouldnât spread news of what they saw here.
When he said that, Qiao Weiyang put away her mask and went forward to grab his hand. She clasped hers with his and pointed at the Roman chariot in the distance. âThen I want to ride that.â
âOkay.â
Qiao Weiyang held his hand and ran over excitedly.
She wasnât a cold person in private, and she didnât always face others with a cold expression. After removing her protective disguise, she could also enjoy many joys in life.
Su Zhuoqianâs expression was gentle as he followed her and walked in the direction she indicated.
A trace of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. He had chosen the right place and the right way to love her.
In the Roman chariot, Qiao Weiyang opened her arms and embraced the sky.
She was opening her heart and hugging all the beautiful things in life.
While having fun, Qiao Weiyang heard the roar of a steam whistle in the distance.
âWhatâs over there?â
âItâs a track. We can race there.â Su Zhuoqian saw the excitement and curiosity in her eyes. âLetâs go. I want to go over and take a look too.â
The track was filled with modified cars. Some were speeding away, while others were still waiting.
âBrother, Sister Weiyang!â Xinyue waved at them and shouted.
âXinyue!â Qiao Weiyang immediately let go of Su Zhuoqianâs hand and walked toward Xinyue.
Su Zhuoqian smiled helplessly and followed her.
âWhat a coincidence. Why are you here?â Xinyue asked. âIf I had known, I would have come with you.â
âXinyue, who is this?â a mature and tall woman beside her asked. She was smiling, but her gaze fell on Qiao Weiyang as she sized up her.
Qiao Weiyang immediately noticed the difference in her gaze.
Xinyue immediately looked at Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang, asking with her gaze if she could reveal their relationship.
Qiao Weiyang said frankly, âXinyue, itâs okay. Introduce us.â
âAlright, this is Sister Weiyang. Actually, sheâs my sister-in-law, my big brotherâs wife. Sister Weiyang, this is Sister Mengwei, Zheng Mengwei. Sheâs the daughter of my uncle. Weâve known each other for a long time.â
When she heard Qiao Weiyangâs identity, there was a slight change in Zheng Mengweiâs eyes. However, she hid it very well and did not show it too much. âSo, youâre Qiao Weiyang. Nice to meet you.â Zheng Mengwei had actually known about Qiao Weiyang for a long time. She had read her gossip and studied everything about her.
In the end, she concluded that Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang must have married because of their family ties.
She really couldnât see how Qiao Weiyang was better than her.
âNice to meet you, Miss Zheng.â Qiao Weiyang nodded and smiled faintly, keenly capturing Zheng Mengweiâs subtle hostility toward her.
Zheng Mengwei did not take Qiao Weiyang seriously. She immediately looked at Su Zhuoqian behind her, so Qiao Weiyang didnât end up meeting her gaze when she greeted her.
As Qiao Weiyangâs back was facing Su Zhuoqian, Su Zhuoqian probably wasnât able to see these undercurrents. This was probably where Zheng Mengweiâs confidence came from.
Qiao Weiyang couldnât help but find it funny. It was as if she had accidentally entered a battle.
âZhuoqian, long time no see.â Zheng Mengwei smiled and said, âHow have you been recently?â
âIâm fine.â
âI wanted to ask you out after I returned to the country, but I heard from Grandma Lu and Xinyue that you were very busy, so I gave up. I didnât expect to meet you here today..â
