As the sky darkened, Qin Yanmo did not return. Instead, he had brought along a large and small bag with his.
She was still as noble and elegant as before, like a morning rose stained with dewdrops. She was gorgeous and delicate, unable to withstand even the slightest bit of harm.
"Bai Yi, how have you been recently?" Lin Qingchen handed over all kinds of supplements and snacks to Aunt Yun, holding an exquisite accessory case in his hands as he sat beside Bai Ronghua, "I bought a necklace for you, take a look and see if you like it or not."
When Bai Ronghua saw her, she was very happy.
Lin Qingchen held her arm and said intimately: "Now I'm using my own money, don't worry."
With that, he stuffed the necklace into her hands.
Xiao Baozi shouted "Grandma" and ran downstairs. When he saw Lin Qingchen, he was startled and asked: "Grandma, who is this?"
"This is your father's friend, Auntie Lin." Bai Ronghua introduced.
Xiao Baozi obediently walked in front of her and called out in a childish voice, "Hello, Auntie Lin."
Lin Qingchen covered the jealousy in his eyes, revealed a benevolent smile, and said: "Is this Yan Mo's child? What's your name? "
"Qin Ange, it was father who gave me this name. My brother is called Qin Xiuyuan, it was Grandma who gave him this name."
"What about your mother?"
"Daddy said he would let Mommy choose a name when he gave birth to a little sister."
Lin Qingchen's face stiffened for a moment as he heard these words, and then returned back to normal. He laughed and said: "Then do you want to see your little sister?"
"Yes." Xiao Baozi nodded obediently, "Father said that brothers and sisters are a good thing."
A trace of sadness appeared on Bai Ronghua's face because of this sentence.
Just as she was feeling sad, Qin Yanmo came back.
Lin Qingchen was very happy about this, she immediately stood up from the sofa and smiled: "Brother Yan Mo, you're back!"
Even though she was crying out happily, her voice was still gentle. It was quiet and beautiful.
Qin Yanmo 'mm', and asked: "When did you come?"
"Just now, I haven't seen Bai Yi in so long, I miss her." Lin Qingchen looked at Bai Ronghua with a beaming smile, "I remember that the little biscuits made by Bai Yi are the most delicious."
Bai Ronghua covered his mouth and laughed lightly, then said: "Next time, before you come, tell me, I'll cook it for you."
Lin Qingchen happily grabbed onto her arm and spoiled his: "I knew Bai Yi was the best."
She was originally good-looking. Even though she had a beautiful appearance and a noble and dignified temperament, she didn't seem out of place when she acted like a spoiled child. On the contrary, she was even more lovable.
Qin Yanmo did not answer, but changed the topic and asked: "Mom, where is Xing Can?"
"She went upstairs after dinner. She's not feeling well today. Go take a look."
"Yes." Qin Yanmo reached out his hand to Xiao Baozi, "Let's go upstairs to see mother."
Xiao Baozi loosened his grip on Bai Ronghua's thigh and ran in the direction of Qin Yanmo.
Lin Qingchen gritted his teeth in his heart. Sooner or later, Qin Yanmo would abandon that poor woman and this damned child!
"Qingchen?" Bai Ronghua looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"
Realizing that his family had lost control of themselves, Lin Qingchen smiled and said: "It's alright, my face was a bit itchy just now."
"If your cheek is itchy, then scratch it. Don't wink at me." Bai Ronghua laughed. She was still as fun as she was when she was young.
Qin Yanmo pushed open the door of the bedroom and saw Shi Xingcan sitting in front of the french window, looking at the bustling city with its many tall buildings in the distance. The orange light of the bedroom shone onto her face, making her expression look secretive and deep.
Qin Yanmo brought Xiao Baozi and walked to the back of her body, then suddenly became playful, covering her eyes and laughed: "Guess who I am?"
Shi Xingcan's eyes slightly bent, other than Qin Yanmo, who else could this iconic voice be?
"Xiao Baozi, who covered my eyes?" She grabbed the small hand in her lap and spoke with a smile.
"Daddy!" Xiao Baozi replied loudly, looking very happy.
"Mom said you're not feeling well. What's wrong?"
Shi Xingcan shook her head, looking a little depressed: "I'm fine."
Seeing her expression change, Xiao Baozi, who was happy a moment ago, immediately hugged her thigh and asked worriedly: "Mom, are you alright?"
Shi Xingcan forced out a smile, rubbed his head, and said: "It's fine, quickly go paint, it's time."
Xiao Baozi did not immediately move, but instead, raised his head and looked at Qin Yanmo, seeing that he was nodding to him, he was willing to leave.
Qin Yanmo sat on the chair opposite to her and asked: "What's wrong?"
Shi Xingcan lowered her head and did not speak. It was unknown if it was just her imagination or her soundproofing, but Bai Ronghua and Lin Qingchen's intimate conversation would always enter her ears.
Qin Yanmo knew what she was thinking from her expression.
He sighed lightly, hugged her and said: "Lin Qingchen just likes to come here to play. I really have no interest in her."
Shi Xingcan herself also felt that it was unreasonable, the two of them had nothing to do with each other, and Qin Yanmo had clearly rejected both of them, but she did not wish for Lin Qingchen to come to her own home, nor did she wish for her family to have any contact with her.
Shi Xingcan was so stifled that she felt uncomfortable. She said in a sad voice, "Why is she here again?"
Qin Yanmo laughed and said: "How could I care where she go? If you're not feeling well, just ignore her. "
"I don't want to make things difficult for Mom." Shi Xingcan sighed.
She could tell that Bai Ronghua liked Lin Qingchen a lot. Perhaps it was because Lin Qingchen had frequently come to the Qin family to play when he was young, or because he wanted to make up for the loss of his child from Lin Qingchen.
Shi Xingcan sometimes thought about why Bai Ronghua did not think about her children from her own body.
Maybe only a noble and elegant young miss like Lin Qingchen was more suited to be part of the Qin family.
Shi Xingcan was so disappointed that she buried her head entirely into his shoulder, and muttered: "I miss my mother."
Qin Yanmo's calm eyes flashed with extreme pain. Raising her face from his collarbone, he was surprised to see her moist almond eyes.
He gently wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "If you don't like her, I'll let her go home now."
Shi Xingcan laughed bitterly: "No need, Mom will definitely be sad."
She didn't want to see Bai Ronghua's sad look.
Qin Yanmo laughed helplessly, and said: "Mom couldn't tell."
Shi Xingcan didn't want him to deal with these trivial things that only a short family member would do, so she reached out and gave him a light hug, and said: "There's really no need, I know you will always be concerned about me."
It was a cold winter day outside, and even through the thick French windows one could feel the cold.
Shi Xingcan sniffed and leaned against his chest feeling very warm. If only time could stop at this moment, then Qin Yanmo would be his forever.
She didn't know that Lin Qingchen, who was standing outside the door, had already clearly heard what they had just said through the small crack in the door.
Thinking back to how Qin Yanmo had meticulously taken care of her and allowed her to do so, she suddenly had a noseache.
Could it be that he really couldn't go back?
When Qin Yanmo went downstairs, Lin Qingchen had already pulled Bai Ronghua to the flower room to water the flowers.
Bai Ronghua was a very interesting woman, even the most common wild flowers would look good under her care. Lin Qingchen had been influenced by her since he was young, the two of them together were like a mother and daughter pair.
Qin Yanmo hadn't even eaten dinner when Aunt Yun casually cooked a bowl of noodles and went to sleep.
She could feel that in the past two years, her body was getting worse. She could no longer stay up late like she used to.
At night, Shi Xingcan laid on the soft bed. The orange light illuminated everything in the bedroom very gently.
"Yan Mo, have you ever dated Lin Qingchen before?"
Qin Yanmo sighed helplessly, but patiently replied: "No, what's wrong?"
Shi Xingcan shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
She rolled over, obviously disgusted with herself for being so worried about loss and gain and making trouble for nothing.
Qin Yanmo hugged her from behind without saying a word, but the warmth in his chest continued to give Shi Xingcan energy.
Shi Xingcan turned around again, leaned against his chest and closed her eyes.
Qin Yanmo looked at the time and switched off the orange light.
The next day, perhaps because they had slept too early, the two of them woke up very early.
After Shi Xingcan finished washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she walked downstairs with Qin Yanmo and saw her figure.
Her eyes were big and her hair was long. She clearly had a plain face, but her skin was still unbelievably good.
Shi Xingcan suddenly felt a bit of jealousy, but she still politely smiled: "You woke up so early?"
Qin Yanmo knit his brows and asked: "You didn't go back last night?"
Lin Qingchen did not care about his attitude and laughed: "Bai Yi has asked me to stay the night. You guys are up at the right time, come and eat breakfast quickly."
She placed a few pieces of fried egg on the table, and then put the hot milk back properly. She was even very selfish as she put a little more milk into Qin Yanmo's blanket.
Shi Xingcan really didn't like the look of her, who was like a natural mistress. In order to hide her displeasure, she buried her face in the blanket, blocking the displeasure in her eyes.
Qin Yanmo changed his cup with hers, and gently warned: "You have a low blood sugar level, drink more."
Seeing that, Lin Qingchen suddenly snorted in disdain, which was quickly covered up. She laughed: "Xingcan is so shy, so cute."
Shi Xingcan said embarrassedly: "I'm not cute …"
Hearing their conversation, Qin Yanmo put down the newspaper and said: "Xing Can is beautiful and cute, I earned enough money by marrying her."
Shi Xingcan, who had not blushed for a long time, felt her ears burn because of his words.
After the two finished eating, they went upstairs to wake Xiao Baozi up.
Today, Du Ming did not have time to come over, so they had to send the child over.
Originally, Bai Ronghua wanted to follow her, but since Lin Qingchen was here, she couldn't just leave.
Bai Ronghua caressed Xiao Baozi's soft hair and said: "Today, can you play with Grandfather yourself?"
Hearing that, Xiao Baozi's mouth flattened, it was a rare opportunity for him to say so willfully: "I don't want it!"
Bai Ronghua said with difficulty: "This child isn't usually this sticky."
Xiao Baozi's eyes moistened. "I don't want it!"
Lin Qingchen immediately came out to help: "I will be going to work in a while, Bai Yi, you should go with him."
Before Bai Ronghua could say anything, Xiao Baozi hugged her thigh and howled, "I don't want to be separated from grandmother!"
Qin Yanmo laughed and pulled him apart, then said: "Let's send you to Grandfather's place first, Grandma, can you come over later?"
Xiao Baozi looked at Bai Ronghua with unwillingness to part and asked: "When?"
"Just for a moment. It'll be fast."
He nodded reluctantly. "Alright then."
Then, she gave a pinky finger to Bai Ronghua: "Grandmother, pinky swear!"
Bai Ronghua smiled and pulled the hook, saying, "Grandmother will be right over, you have to behave yourself in front of this official's house."
Xiao Baozi nodded, obediently lay on top of Qin Yanmo's shoulders and went out with him.
