Chapter 96 - Just Happened

Chapter 96: Just Happened

Qin Yiyi felt that she couldn’t be blamed for this.

She didn’t let those people from the Qin family be in the limelight at that time. That was all their own choice!

This was indeed the case.

Therefore, she didn’t feel anything when she looked at the hot searches on the Internet!

At first, Shang Jingheng thought that she would be sad or disappointed or something, but after seeing that Qin Yiyi really didn’t care, he breathed a secret sigh of relief.

I’m glad you’re not mad!

He accompanied Qin Yiyi to sit on the sofa. Old Lady Fang was watching animation not far away, and Old Man Fang was busy in the kitchen.

Shang Jingheng tapped his fingers lightly on the coffee table and looked at Qin Yiyi.

“Do you want me to get someone to take it down?”

“That won’t be necessary.”

Qin Yiyi shook her head, stuffed a grape into her mouth and finished it. She took a napkin to wipe her hands and raised her eyebrows.

“Do you have a lot of money?”

With the money she saved by not removing the trending searches, she could buy anything and eat anything she wanted.

Wasn’t it better to eat delicious food or buy beautiful clothes to wear?!

Qin Yiyi’s words caused Shang Jingheng to laugh softly.

He nodded. “Okay, then I’ll listen to you.”

Shang Jingheng got up and went to the kitchen to help Old Master Fang.

Qin Yiyi lowered her head to reply to Lu Jinwan’s Wechat. The little girl had sent a dozen or so messages in a flurry.

Roar Roar Roar.

It was fortunate that Qin Yiyi was not by her side. Otherwise, that girl would probably have deafened her!

“Yiyi Yiyi Qin Yiyi, what are you doing? Haven’t you returned home yet?”

“Reply to me when you return home.”

“I’m dying of anxiety. What’s going on with those hot searches?”

Qin Yiyi shook her head and tapped on her profile picture to reply.

“It’s just like what the trending searches said. I happened to bump into them and helped them out. The Qin family was afraid that I would do something wrong and implicate them, so they told me they were cutting ties early. Later, the Mu family thanked me. Hey, didn’t you watch the video? It’s that simple.”

On the other end of Wechat, Lu Jinwan had been staring at the reply.

Seeing Qin Yiyi’s casual words, she became even more unsettled.

Her eyes widened, and her fingers pressed hard on her phone.

“You make it sound so simple. It made you go on the trending searches three or four times. The posts are still trending!”

Qin Yiyi replied with an ‘Oh’ and exited Wechat. She started fighting the landlord in-game again!

On the other side, Lu Jinwan waited for a long time but didn’t receive any messages. She stomped her feet angrily.

This girl must be playing cards on her cell phone again!

She wasn’t even comparable to a few playing cards…

Forget it, forget it. I can’t lower myself!

She logged out of WeChat and Weibo.

Looking at the discussions above, she clicked into the video of Mrs. Qin slapping her own face.

Lu Jinwan couldn’t help but grind her teeth.

She really deserved it!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the new year.

Early in the morning, the weather was a little cloudy, and Old Lady Fang was coughing a little. Qin Yiyi used anime to coax her to stay at home and not let her go out.

Old Master Fang was afraid that she would watch anime all the time, so he thought of all kinds of ways to play with her.

Taking advantage of Old Lady Fang, he started to play with the building blocks.

He took some time to discuss with Qin Yiyi. “At least it’s the New Year. I’ll go to the market outside to weigh some meat and buy some vegetables. Let’s make dumplings?”

There wasn’t much to eat.

It was just a formality.

Qin Yiyi smiled and nodded. “I’ll go by myself. Grandfather, you can stay at home and accompany Grandma.”

Grandfather Fang wanted to say that he would go, but Old Lady Fang heard him and ran over.

“Go where you want to go. Old man, are you going out? Take me with you. I’m going to change…”

As she spoke, she was actually preparing to go back to her bedroom to get her clothes.

Qin Yiyi looked at her grandfather’s expressionless face and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Grandma, you heard wrong. Didn’t we agree not to go out today? Have you piled up the blocks? Grandpa, go help quickly.”

“That’s right, old man, come over and help me.”

She was still worried about him running away, so she had to look up to see him.

Otherwise, what would she do if he ran away without her?!

Qin Yiyi felt that her grandmother was getting cuter and cuter!

She put on a down jacket, a pair of extra-thick shoes, and a scarf.

It was tightly wrapped from top to bottom.

Qin Yiyi took advantage of the old lady’s lack of attention and quietly opened the door and slipped out.

When she went downstairs, she received a call from Shang Jingheng.

Qin Yiyi replied to him as she got out of the elevator,

“I was just about to go to the market to buy some meat. My grandfather said to make dumplings, but unfortunately, you don’t have the appetite.”

The day before yesterday, this person said that he would be leaving Shanghai for a few days and should be back two days before the New Year.

Therefore, Qin Yiyi was very happy and tempted him over the phone.

“The dumplings my grandfather makes are very delicious. The skin is thin and there’s lots of fillings. The meat is finely chopped and the fillings are also very fragrant…”

She could eat two big bowls every time!

Qin Yiyi’s words made Shang Jingheng, who was sitting on the other end, silent.

He didn’t seem to know what to say.

“Sigh, don’t tell me you really want to eat until you don’t want to talk anymore? Don’t be like this. I’ll get Grandpa to make another round for you later.”

She just needed Shang Jingheng to come over and help out.

On the other side, Shang Jingheng’s voice was indifferent. “I do want to eat them, and I don’t want to eat them next time.”

“Then you’ve made things difficult for me. Don’t tell me I have to deliver it to you by express mail?”

Qin Yiyi smiled as she walked out of the first floor.

“Then you have to wait until your house opens the post office and I can mail whatever I want.”

Shang Jingheng’s voice was unhurried over the phone.

“There’s no need to mail it. I can come back and eat it.”

Qin Yiyi was about to ask where he was and when he could come back. Or she could pack some more for him at night.

When she raised her head, she saw Shang Jingheng standing at the side of the black car in the open space in front of the first floor.

His brows were like cold stars, and his body exuded a cold and indifferent aura that prevented strangers from approaching.

However, it was only when he saw Qin Yiyi that his brows and eyes were like melting ice and snow, blossoming like a hundred flowers. At this moment, he was the only light in the world!

Qin Yiyi stood there without moving for a moment.

She looked at Shang Jingheng indifferently and slowly smiled faintly.

“So you’re back. Why aren’t you at home? How long have you been waiting here?”

“Just arrived.”

Shang Jingheng smiled and waved his phone. “I was just about to send you a message when I saw you come out.”

“Then, let’s go shopping together?”

“Let’s walk there.”

Shang Jingheng sized her up from head to toe until he was sure that she was really not cold and that she was wearing enough clothes. Then, he raised his hand and helped her put on her scarf again.

Then, he looked up at Qin Yiyi with a face full of anticipation.

“I have never been to the market with anyone in my entire life. Young Lady Yiyi, do you want to walk to the market with me?”

The wariness in his eyes and the hidden expectation hit Qin Yiyi’s heart like a stone.

Pursing her lips, she lowered her eyes and said, “Okay.”

She had never been accompanied by anyone, nor had she been accompanied by anyone.

Two people, just right!
