After the things were properly placed and dusted off, their colors were no longer so dark. Instead, they revealed a quaint and noble beauty.
They complemented the wooden furniture that Old Master Qiao liked.
âI think Grandpa also knew that only you would like these things, so he didnât write these things in his will. He knew that no matter what, these things would definitely fall into your hands,â Su Zhuoqian said with certainty.
âNo wonder he used to joke about giving me the things he had as his dowry. I always said that I was too embarrassed to accept it, but he insisted on teasing me.â
âGrandpa was really sincere in giving me your dowry. Then shouldnât I be more sincere in my betrothal gift to you?â Su Zhuoqian lowered his head and looked at Qiao Weiyang.
She smiled. âOkay, then how will you show enough sincerity?â
âCompared to Grandpaâs, how about something thatâs a hundred times more valuable?â
âActually, Jingyun and Xiao Bao are already a hundred times more valuable.â Qiao Weiyang thought of them and smiled.
Su Zhuoqian narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, âWeiyang, actually, Jingyun and Xiao Baoâ¦â
âMommy!â Before Su Zhuoqian could finish, the two little guys ran in. âI heard that you packed Great-grandfatherâs things and came back?â
Qiao Weiyang bent down and looked at them. âThatâs right. Although Great-grandpa has left, these things represent his existence. If I miss him in the future, I can come here to take a look.â
âThen can we come over too if we miss Grandpa?â Xiao Bao asked.
âOf course,â Qiao Weiyang said with a smile.
âYes, yes.â Xiao Bao nodded. âGreat-grandpaâs things are so exquisite.â
Jingyunâs gaze was also attracted as he looked over. âIt looks like these things were carefully polished and carved.â
The two little guys had always had good taste and could tell what was special about these things. On the other hand, the people from the Qiao family who often looked at these things treated them as trash.
At the entrance of Jingdu City University. In a cafe.
Qiao Weiyang sat in front of Qiao Dongliang.
âI wonât accompany you to the Xu familyâs home this weekend. You can go by yourself.â
âAm I really going over alone?â Qiao Dongliang felt a little uncomfortable.
âIf I go over, some things wonât be easy to say. Believe me, you can go by yourself.â
He had no choice but to agree.
He stirred his coffee and said, âIâve already located the doctor and nurse who helped deliver me. Iâll be able to meet them in two days and ask for details.â âWas anyone else present at the time?â Qiao Weiyang asked.
âI donât think so,â he said in a low voice. âI hope it was just an accident.â
Qiao Weiyang picked up her coffee and took a sip. Qiao Dongliang also smiled and clinked glasses with her. âCome, cheers.â
âIâll tell you directly after I clarify the situation. Wait for my call.â
âOkay.â Qiao Weiyang glanced at the time. âAlright, class is about to start. Donât be late.â
Qiao Dongliang quickly got up, finished his coffee, and ran out with his books.
After running outside, he waved at Qiao Weiyang through the glass.
Qiao Weiyang looked away with a smile, picked up her coffee, and took a sip.
âAre you still in the mood to drink coffee alone?â Liang Xingyang walked toward Qiao Weiyang with his coffee from the next table.
âIâve already ordered it. I wonât waste it.â
Liang Xingyang dragged out a chair and sat down in front of Qiao Weiyang.
âCoincidentally, I still have half a glass. Shall I drink with you?â
âWhy are you hanging around near the university?â
âAm I not allowed to look at young and fresh beauties at the entrance of the university?â Liang Xingyang always spoke as if he did not care about anything.
His words were frivolous, but they were not offensive.
âOf course, itâs not illegal to look at beautiful women.â
Because of what had happened to Grandpa last time, Qiao Weiyang did not avoid him as much as before.
She sipped her coffee and let him sit casually across from her.
Liang Xingyang suddenly leaned forward and approached Qiao Weiyang.
The coffee table was not big, and he was tall. If he suddenly leaned over like this, the distance would no longer be safe.
Qiao Weiyang asked warily, âWhat?â
âActually, I have a little secret I want to tell you. It should be a very important secret to you.â
âGo ahead, then. Iâll listen.â Qiao Weiyang put down her coffee cup, still on guard.
Liang Xingyang retreated to a safe distance and leaned back in his chair. âAm I that scary?
âItâs not that youâre scary, but a married woman like me should avoid arousing suspicion.â
âHeh, is that man that important to you?â Liang Xingyang pouted.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âJust like how I donât like him getting too close to other women, I should do the same myself. Is it that difficult to understand?â Qiao Weiyangâs pace was neither fast nor slow.
âThen you might not be able to find out the secret.â
âWhy?â
Liang Xingyang smiled and raised his eyebrows evilly. He swirled the coffee cup in his hand. âI wanted to ask you for a kiss in exchange.â
Qiao Weiyang rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. âIn that case, you can take your secret to the grave.â
âQiao Weiyang, do you really not want to know this secret?â
âLiang Xingyang, if you want to tell me, just tell me. If you just want to tease me⦠Donât tell me you think Su Zhuoqian is a pushover?â
Qiao Weiyang was still smiling, but there was already a hint of threat in her tone.
Of course, Liang Xingyang knew Su Zhuoqianâs personality. He immediately raised his hands. âAlright, alright. I donât dare to provoke him.â
Only then did Qiao Weiyang stand up in satisfaction. âIâm done with my coffee. Goodbye.â
âQiao Weiyang, do you really not want to know what the secret is?â His attitude suddenly became extremely serious.
âItâs up to you whether you want to tell me or not.â Qiao Weiyang didnât fall for it.
âIt has something to do with your grandfather.â
Qiao Weiyang, who was about to leave, stopped in her tracks.
There were not many big things related to Grandpa. He had been recuperating all these years and hadnât cared much about family matters. There was just one thingâthe car accident.
Her heart beating hard, she turned around and put her hands on the table. âTell me, what does it have to do with him?â
Liang Xingyang was shocked by her gaze and tone. âHey, hey, if a great beauty is too fierce, she wonât be beautifulâ¦
âLiang Xingyang! Tell me!â Qiao Weiyang couldnât be bothered to be polite to him anymore.
Liang Xingyang stopped being so casual. âAlright, alright. Donât scare me like this. Iâll tell you. Can you sit down first?â
Qiao Weiyang also realized that she was acting like a lunatic at the moment. She coughed lightly and sat down opposite him again. âPlease, tell me.â âItâs about the car accident,â Liang Xingyang said.
Qiao Weiyangâs heart skipped a beat.. Was it really a car accident, then?
