Just as the atmosphere was warm, there was a knock on the door.
âMucheng? Are you there?â
It was Qin Haowenâs voice.
Ji Yuanyuan immediately sat up straight and looked at Qin Mucheng nervously. Qin Mucheng threw all the used wet tissues into the trash can and kicked the trash can under the table before he went forward to open the door.
Qin Haowenâs figure appeared at the door. Ji Yuanyuan quickly stood up from
the sofa and greeted him politely and nervously, âUncle Qin.â
Qin Haowen smiled, âI heard from the secretary that Mucheng came up with a young lady downstairs. I guessed it was you. Coincidentally, your Auntie is also here. Letâs have lunch together at noon.â
Ji Yuanyuan felt a little guilty but still nodded, Alright.
Qin Haowen looked at Qin Mucheng, âThereâs still ten minutes before work
ends. Pack up and gather at the garage later.â
With that, he turned around and left.
Qin Mucheng did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt there was a deeper meaning in his fatherâs gaze when he looked at him just now.
Qin Mucheng closed the door and rubbed his nose.
A moment later, he returned to normal and turned around, âYou donât have to worry about Li Xiruiâs matter. Just ask your schoolâs administrator to delete the post completely. Also, Iâll get her to apologize to you.â
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head, âI donât want to know the reason for her actions. I donât need her apology, and I donât want to see her again. As long as she doesnât do anything to make things difficult for me in the future.â
Li Xirui had saved her and Qin Mucheng before, so she did not want to make things too awkward.
âAlright, I understand.â Qin Mucheng nodded.
âWhat about your school?â he asked after a pause. âThe pictures on the post were all real. Under such circumstances, Li Xirui could not post a clarification
post.â
âDonât worry about the school. The post has already been hidden. I donât think it will continue to spread. If they want to discuss it, then let them discuss it.
After a while, if thereâs new gossip, theyâll soon forget about me.â Ji Yuanyuan was open-minded.
The more she cared about this matter, the more she tried to find a way to clarify it, and the more serious the matter became.
Even if she clarifies, everyone will believe in themselves and will not believe in her clarification.
The best way was to treat it coldly.
Qin Mucheng still wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Ji Yuanyuan said made sense.
He stopped talking and began to pack his things, âItâs about time. Letâs go. Ji Yuanyuan did not have much to pack, so she carried her bag and followed Qin Mucheng to the underground parking lot.
Qin Haowen and Cheng Shuqin also came over very quickly.
Ji Yuanyuan wants to let Qin Haowen do co-pilot out of respect for this.
However, Qin Haowen said, âYuanyuan, sit in the front. Donât young ladies nowadays mind others sitting in the front passenger seat of their boyfriends?â âWhich girl did you learn about it from?â Cheng Shuqin glanced at him.
Qin Haowen chuckled, âThe other day, when the young lady in the office was chatting, I overheard it a few times.â
After they got into the car, Qin Haowen continued, âHe said that his boyfriend picked up a female colleague and let her sit in the passenger seat. The two of them even quarreled because of this.â
âHow old are you?â Cheng Shuqin laughed. âYou like to listen to little girls chatting. Usually, when I tell you something, you complain that Iâm long-winded.â
Qin Haowen calmly changed the topic, âIf other young ladies have the rights, our Yuanyuan should also have them.
âBy the way, Yuanyuan, why are you free to come over today? Donât you have classes in the morning?â Cheng Shuqin did not bother about Qin Haowen and
asked about Ji Yuanyuan.
Seeing this, Qin Haowen heaved a sigh of relief.
Although they were an old couple, his wife had never been jealous.
Ji Yuanyuan did not want to tell them about what happened today. The matter had already been resolved, and they had already been told about it.
It was just making them worry for no reason.
However, before Ji Yuan could speak, Qin Mucheng told Qin Haowen and Cheng Shuqin everything that happened today.
After hearing this, the two of them looked a little serious.
âIt seems that Li Xirui is harboring thoughts she shouldnât have.â Cheng Shuqin sighed and said.
She had thought that Li Xirui was a good girl.
Under those circumstances, she had protected Mucheng without hesitation by blocking the knife.
Moreover, she did not ask for any compensation after the incident.
But now, it seemed this girl was not as innocent as she looked on the surface. âSheâs made our Yuanyuan suffer. In the future, weâll also be more careful. Mucheng, youâll take care of Yuanyuanâs life. Donât let Xiao Li do it.â Cheng Shuqin instructed.
âGot it.â Qin Mucheng agreed.
âMy driverâs license is about to be issued. I donât have time recently. Just take the time to take the CET-4 exam.â Ji Yuanyuan quickly said.
She had passed all the first, second, and third subjects in one try. She was only missing subject four.
âDonât worry about Li Xirui. Just let your father handle it.â Cheng Shuqin said.
âItâs better for Mucheng to do this.â Qin Haowen disagreed.
Cheng Shuqin was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, âThatâs true. Then let Mucheng handle it.â
The few of them chatted and soon arrived at their place to eat.
This was an antique Chinese restaurant, and the dishes were all relatively healthy.
After the dishes were served, Cheng Shuqin suddenly started talking about the house.
âShengshi Heting is almost completed. Your dad and I plan to leave a house for you guys as a wedding home.â Cheng Shuqin whispered.
Shengshi Heting was a villa area under Sheng Cityâs construction. It was going to be completed this year.
Although it had not opened yet, it had already spread like wildfire. It was said that the opening price would not be lower than 40,000.
âAuntie, I know youâre good to me. But this house is too expensive. I canât take it.â Ji Yuanyuan quickly said.
Cheng Shuqin chuckled, âLetâs talk about this later. It hasnât been built yet. No matter whose name it is, it will be the two of you living here in the future. I know young people nowadays donât want to live with old people. Iâll prepare a house for you first. In the future, you can live anywhere you want.â Pausing for a moment, Cheng Shuqin probed, âWhat do you two plan to do? When do you plan to get married?â
Qin Mucheng looked up unhappily, âMom, we just got engaged. Why are you bringing up marriage? Besides, she wasnât old enough to get married yet. It would be a waste to plan more now.â
Cheng Shuqin sighed and explained thoughtfully, âIâm just asking casually. Your father and I can prepare in advance if you have plans, right?
Ji Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at Cheng Shuqin.
For some reason, Auntie Chengâs expression seemed a little strange.
Cheng Shuqin had been defeated by Qin Mucheng and did not continue on this topic. Instead, she turned to talk to Ji Yuanyuan about the transformation of Vegetable Garden..
