Chapter 22 - II
When he got downstairs, he put on his baseball cap and felt his eyes hurt again. He quickly applied eye drops and blinked hard to let them soak into his eyes quickly. When he felt much better, he strode over.
Xie Qi was still wearing the black and white uniform of No. 1 Middle School at this time, with a tall and straight figure. However, his baseball cap was held down low to block the light, and the shadow spread to his nose, making it difficult to see his face clearly.
As soon as Xie Qi arrived behind Qin Yizhi, in order to show his love and devotion, before he appeared in front of Qin Yizhi, he already called out in a clear voice, “Husband.”
Then he looked at Yao Wenzhu and called out affectionately, “Mom.”
After shouting, he vaguely noticed that Yao Wenzhu’s expression didn’t look very good.
But when he called out, she immediately laughed, stretched out her hand, and said complainingly, “Why are you always wearing a hat? Take it off quickly and let people see your face.”
Xie Qi was just about to speak when Yao Wenzhu moved faster and took off Xie Qi’s hat. Although it was already afternoon, the sun was still relatively bright, usually not setting completely until six-thirty to seven o’clock. So, the sun was quite strong at the moment, and although Xie Qi could still bear it, his pupils suddenly shrank when his hat was removed.
Qin Yizhi reached out and grabbed Yao Wenzhu’s wrist, saying, “Put it back on.”
One day had passed, and his voice seemed to have recovered a little, not as hoarse, and much clearer.
Yao Wenzhu was a little stunned, but she still obediently put the hat back on Xie Qi, raising the corners of her lips, and said happily, “Baby, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have taken off your hat on my own. Baby, please forgive mom, okay?”
Xie Qi was stunned for a while and replied, “It’s okay, it doesn’t matter.”
Yao Wenzhu smoothly said, “Thank you, baby!”
She said this and looked at Qin Yizhi happily.
Qin Yizhi let go of her wrist and looked away. Yao Wenzhu’s smile suddenly faded a lot.
Then she glared at the tall woman with some unhappiness, raised her chin, and said arrogantly, “As you can see, our Yizhi already has a wife! When Yizhi gets better, we will have a banquet at the old house first, and then go abroad to register for marriage. Our family of three will be very happy.”
The woman looked at Xie Qi and said to Qin Yizhi, “Yizhi, has your taste become so poor? Even you dare to touch a high school student?”
Qin Yizhi ignored her and simply stretched out his hand to Xie Qi. He didn’t even look at him, just extended his hand.
This time Xie Qi understood. Instead of shaking hands with Qin Yizhi, he placed his hand in his big hand. He also knew that he had to play a role at this time, so he held his head high and said, “He has a good taste. If he marries you, he has poor taste.”
Seeing this situation, he also guessed a little. She was probably the girl from the Yan family who put Qin Yizhi into a vegetative state. Yao Wenzhu spoke a bit too much. There were leaks from all directions, so he could gather some information.
Yao Wenzhu nodded beside him, saying, “That’s right, Qiqi and Yizhi have been childhood sweethearts. It’s been a good relationship since childhood. Since ancient times, childhood sweethearts are destined by fate, we can’t defy fate. No one can break them.”
Xie Qi glanced away guiltily, not daring to look at Qin Yizhi.
He didn’t even know if Qin Yizhi knew he was lying to Yao Wenzhu.
He probably didn’t know. If he knew, he wouldn’t be so lenient, right? ——But if he thought about it carefully, it was not a big problem. Qin Yizhi fell in love with him at first sight. How could he turn a blind eye?
.
Yan Ling ignored Yao Wenzhu and just stared at Qin Yizhi, “Yizhi, we can start over. As long as you look back, I’ll always be here. Our Yan family can provide you with maximum help. What use is a high school student to you? You are the direct grandson of the Qin family, and everything in the Qin family belongs to you. But there are some obstacles now, and we must work together to overcome them. Even if you like him, I don’t mind you supporting him after we get married. We can each go our separate ways after marriage, but we must have a child who can inherit the family. I won’t restrict your freedom. Yizhi, you are a smart person. You know how to choose.”
Qin Yizhi glanced at Xie Qi; the boy’s ears perked up as if he was listening carefully.
“…” Qin Yizhi looked away and said in a low, cold voice, “We don’t have any relationship, please don’t start problem in front of my wife.”
Yan Ling: “…”
With a strange expression, she said, “Your wife? It seems you’ve already made your choice. Compared to your family fortune, love means nothing. If you choose him, well, I hope you won’t regret it in the future.” After saying that, she looked at him contemptuously, glanced at Xie Qi, then turned around and left with the man in the suit.
After they left, Xie Qi cautiously said, “I think what she said makes sense. Why didn’t you choose her?”
Qin Yizhi glanced at him but remained silent.
Xie Qi looked down and saw that they were still holding hands, not saying a word.
No one could hold it as well as he did.
Just as he was thinking this, Qin Yizhi let go, clasped his hands together, and placed them on his lap.
Yao Wenzhu responded to Xie Qi’s words, saying, “Qiqi, you’re foolish. Of course, your husband loves you. How could he choose someone else? And that woman deserves condemnation. She immediately sought another relationship when she saw that Yizhi was in a vegetative state. She’s too ambitious. She might fall and meet her demise soon!”
Xie Qi: “…”
He didn’t believe it before, but now he did.
Haha, man, turned out Qin Yizhi was still a hopeless romantic.
But it was good for him. If he chose her, he would be in tears. After all, the hundreds of thousands wouldn’t be paid back in a while.
Thinking of this, Xie Qi breathed a sigh of relief. It was all good. Although it had been a while since Yao Wenzhu said those words, he still responded firmly and shamelessly, “I love you too, husband. You are so good to me.”
Qin Yizhi looked away, not meeting his gaze, and said in a low, hoarse voice, “Don’t love me.”
Xie Qi quickly replied, “I’ll love however you want me to love.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
