Husband, Spend Some Gold Coins

Xie Qi was still worried but showing no emotion on his face, he raised his legs and followed Yao Wenzhu in.

Xie Qi observed that Yao Wenzhu looked like a typical Jiangnan woman with a small frame, slender skin, and a face as pale as a plate. She was about 165cm tall, but with high-heeled shoes, she reached almost 1.7 meters, slightly shorter than him but with a stronger presence.

She was an adult after all. Xie Qi thought distractedly.

Yao Wenzhu sat down, held Qin Yizhi’s hand, and sighed, “He never moved in front of me, but he always reacted in front of you. What do you think, he didn’t even look like me?”

Xie Qi responded, “…”

How could he know? He had never seen what Qin Yizhi looked like; Still, he said, “I think it might be a coincidence.”

Yao Wenzhu looked at Qin Yizhi in fascination and said, “He doesn’t look like his father or me, but he resembles his uncle a lot. They had a good relationship when he was a child, more like brothers than father and son. Despite the age difference, they could still play together. Now, as they’ve grown older, he’s becoming more like his uncle. Sometimes, I really doubt if he’s actually my child.”

Xie Qi replied, “How could he not be your child? The father may not know whether the son is his, but the mother should know best.”

“I know, but he is not like me. I always suspect that he is the son of my husband and my brother’s child,” Yao Wenzhu confessed.

Xie Qi responded with a puzzled expression.

No, her suspicion was too overwhelming, right? How and where did men give birth? Just thinking about it, was very scary, okay!

After a moment of silence, Yao Wenzhu suddenly said, “Speaking of which, if you get married, I will give you a betrothal gift, right? If it is convenient, I would like to talk to your mother about the betrothal gift.”

Xie Qi hesitated, “Ah… you don’t need it.”

Why was she so anxious? He was only 18 years old. Xie Qi felt a vague sense of unease.

Could it be that Qin Yizhi has other hidden diseases, such as kidney problems, and needed someone else’s kidney, in example his?

Xie Qi raised his face, looked at Yao Wenzhu’s beautiful and soft face, and thought, that wouldn’t be the case… Now in a society governed by the rule of law, people couldn’t harvest organs without their consent, right?

With doubts in mind, Xie Qi couldn’t help but express his concerns: “Why do I feel that you are so anxious? Is there any reason?”

Yao Wenzhu responded matter-of-factly, “Of course, I am anxious! You are only 18 years old, so young, it’s easy to fall in love with someone else! I want to settle down as soon as possible. Once I meet your parents to give the betrothal gift, you are definitely my daughter-in-law!”

“…That’s it.” Xie Qi’s eyes flashed as he said, “Well, actually, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. There’s a lot of time; you can do it at any time.”

If she waited a bit, it would be better if she could wait until Qin Yizhi woke up and talked together. Whether he agreed to marry him or not was still a question.

Thinking this way, Xie Qi felt that he would definitely be able to escape, but Yao Wenzhu was so anxious. Could it be that she saw his intention to run away? It shouldn’t be; at least at this stage, he didn’t want to run away.

Yao Wenzhu said: “That’s okay; there will be plenty of time in the future. After all, you are still young.” After that, she stopped the topic.

.

Xie Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, but he did have some doubts in his heart. He didn’t know why Yao Wenzhu was so anxious. She wanted to see his parents and settle the matter between him and Qin Yizhi quickly.

This was too anxious, even a little rushed. Thinking about it carefully, she could easily give him 200,000 a month; her family must be very, very rich. From what she told him before, it seemed that it was still a family business, making them a wealthy family. But under what circumstances would a wealthy lady be so eager to let her son marry a boy who had no background, no family wealth, or even only 18 years old boy?

Of course, he understood that she might be a little desperate, but it was too early. She should talk with Qin Yizhi a little bit more, told Qin Yizhi that she was very satisfied with Xie Qi. This was the daughter-in-law she got and made Xie Qi had a bright future; then, he might not complain, after all, she had money. But stating she wanted them to get married suddenly was a bit hasty.

But Yao Wenzhu’s brain circuit was relatively out of the ordinary, which might be normal for her. He was judging the heart of a saint with the heart of a villain.

However, Yao Wenzhu was so anxious, which also made Xie Qi a little rebellious, now the 200,000 yuan he received was not as good as it seemed.

He felt like this money was a little less now.

He didn’t know if Yao Wenzhu could tell what Xie Qi was thinking. She said abruptly: “In that case, the pocket money I will give you will be increased to 400,000 from next month?”

Xie Qi: “…”

Although Xie Qi had seen the world, he was still shocked by her loud tone, “40,000 or 400,000? Are you serious?”

Yao Wenzhu said, “Of course, I am serious! It was related on how you spent the money before. You used them all to pay the medical expenses for your stepfather, with nothing left for you to spend. I think you are sincere and a very good child. But think about it, how could the person Yizhi likes be bad? He must be the best and most wonderful person in the world.”

Xie Qi: “…”

No, he started to feel guilty.

Xie Qi was shaken deeply. His situation was very difficult, but there was no need to lie to her so hard, right?

She treated him very well and was considerate in everything. When it came to getting money, he had no pressure to take Xie Dai’s money. After all, Xie Dai had not paid half a cent of alimony since the divorce. He was only eleven years old at the time. Of course, he would not feel any guilt in taking his money.

But Yao Wenzhou was still a stranger to him after all, it was hard to take this money for nothing. Well, he could think this money as a debt and he could pay it back when he got a job.

Thinking like this, Xie Qi couldn’t hold back and tried to confess: “Actually, I’m not…”

Before he could finish his words, Qin Yizhi’s fingers moved. His five pale and slender fingers stretched out, grabbing a piece of pure white sheets.

“Ah!!!” Yao Wenzhu screamed happily: “He moved!! This time he moved in front of me!” She almost jumped up with joy, quickly grabbing Qin Yizhi’s hand and bursting into tears of excitement. She exclaimed, “Son, it’s mom, can you hear what I said? Son? It’s me!”

But the finger in her hand quickly became quiet and did not move again.

Yao Wenzhu’s happy expression slowly solidified. She wiped her tears and stared at Qin Yizhi’s face. Her cheeks were slightly red, showing strong emotional fluctuations, but she quickly suppressed her emotions.

She turned around and said to Xie Qi with a smile: “Please come here.”

Xie Qi, interrupted and with no chance to speak again, walked over to Yao Wenzhu. She pulled up his hand and placed it on Qin Yizhi’s palm. Surprisingly, the hand that was originally motionless slowly moved. His fingers came back and tightly held Xie Qi’s slender fingers.

Xie Qi: “…”

Yao Wenzhu smiled in surprise and said, “As long as it’s you, he will move. Qiqi, he really loves you deeply.”

Xie Qi: “…”

No, what was wrong with this man? His mother was right next to him; shouldn’t he go and hold her hand?

Qin Yizhi’s moving led him to suppress all confessions, though it was undeniable that he felt a little relieved. After all, if Yao Wenzhu knew about his lies, it remained uncertain whether she would be easy to approach, considering her past sternness with that caregiver.

Yao Wenzhu, back then, was not gentle with that nurse. She even sent the man to the jail.

Xie Qi, lowering his eyes, thought, ‘This is fine.’
