"Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll talk about you and Shen Xi Ming, what's your plan?"

Suddenly, the topic changed. Qin Xiaojing was surprised for a moment, and then she asked, "Are you going to do it?"

"Yeah, you didn't bring your luggage back. Don't tell me you just came back from London empty-handed."

"Um, mom, I just came back and you're already in a rush to marry your daughter off. I still want to spend more time with you and dad." Qin Xiaojing held her mother's arm coquettishly.

Mother smiled. "Aiya, I also hope that you can accompany us. I don't wish for you to marry so soon. Even if you don't marry, your father and I will raise you for the rest of your life."

"Hehe, mom, your logic is too weird. Who would hope that their daughter wouldn't marry?" Qin Xiaotao said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm not willing to. My precious daughter is so good, how can I bear to give it to others so quickly?" There was something hidden in her eyes as she said this, but Qin Xiaoshui didn't notice.

"What do you mean for someone else? Even if we get married, I will come back often. I still want to eat the dishes you made everyday."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what you're saying now sounds so good. When the time comes, don't forget your parents. That would be a cause for celebration."

"How can it be so exaggerated as you say? Do you believe me, I am the kind of person who forgets his kindness?" Qin Xiaotao intentionally looked at her mother with an aggrieved expression.

Wang Xixi smiled. "Alright, alright, I won't keep any girls around. I know all about it. Mom is just joking with you." After saying that, she restrained the smile on her face and said seriously, "However, Little Hai, marriage is a big matter for girls, and it's the most important choice in their entire lives. You have to think it through."

She took her mother's hand and put it away. "Well, Mom, I know. "He's very good to me. I believe in him and want to spend the rest of my life with him."

Wang Lianxi patted her daughter's hands as she nodded and smiled, "My daughter has really grown up."

It was unknown whether it was because she was home or because she was too tired, but she quickly fell asleep. She didn't even need to take in the jet lag anymore.

She slept soundly, but in the middle of the night she was so thirsty that she got up to get water.

As he passed by the door of his parents' bedroom, he could faintly hear his parents' conversation through the dim light in the crack of the door.

His parents were whispering to each other, but the night was so quiet that Qin Xiaotao could hear some of what they were saying.

"You told her?" Her father's voice, however, contained a deep tone that she had never heard before.

"Yes, I did." My mother seemed suspicious.

"What did she say?"

His mother hesitated. "What else can you say? It's not like you don't know that the two of them have feelings for each other."

His father was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh. "Sigh, I shouldn't have agreed to their request from the beginning."

"When we were children, we said that no matter what happened, we would definitely respect her opinion. If you really did that, then you would have wasted that person's instructions all those years ago."

Qin Xiaotao raised her hand and was about to knock on the door when her father's voice spoke up again. "But this is different. This concerns her life's happiness."

"How do you know they won't be happy together?"

"You know very well that's not what I meant. If it wasn't for the events that happened that year, I definitely wouldn't have had any objections. However …" "It's not a good thing for either of them if one of them remembers, especially Seep. I don't want our daughter to get hurt again."

She did not hear what her father said after that. The room was quiet for a moment, then the lights went out.

Qin Xiaotao stared at the door for a moment before returning to her room with a cup of water.

Her parents' conversation seemed to be about something related to her, but she could not make heads nor tails of it. By the morning of the second day, she had almost begun to wonder if she had been too tired and hallucinated.

When night came, she would be waiting for Shen Ximing downstairs on time.

After waiting for two minutes, he received a message from Shen Xi Ming, "We're having a meeting, and we still need a while. You can come up first."

Out of the corner of his eye, Qin Xiaoyu noticed a thick stack of new books lying outside the newsstand. Astonishingly, there was a "W" written on the books. She walked over and picked up a book.

After a moment of hesitation, he replied to Shen Xuming, "I'll wait for you at the coffee shop opposite."

After paying the bill, she headed for the coffee shop, unwrapping the plastic package on the outside of the book as she did so.

It was an illustrations book, in which all sorts of images were used to tell stories of relaxed humor. On the cover were several large words, "Mr. W's world of illustrations!"

Strangely, Ye Chen's specialty was oil painting, while the illustrations were just a casual pastime. However, he had not expected that the illustrations would cause his reputation to rise greatly.

After sitting down, she took a photo of the book and sent it to Ye Chimu.

"Mr. W., your books are sold here."

The other party quickly replied, "Haha, Student Qin Xiaotao has also become a fan of my books."

"Always."

"Uh, well, why didn't I see it before?" Behind him was an emoji rolling its eyes.

Qin Xiaotao smiled. "You have poor eyesight, so of course you won't be able to see."

The other side sent him a few rolling his eyes and then sent him a message.

"This illustrations is a test for testing water. Since the publishing house in the country found me, I happen to have a script with me. I just want to try it out." Since you've already left, there's no meaning for me to stay here alone. "

Qin Xiaohai sat up straight and thought for a moment before pressing the words down. "You want to come back?"

"Yes, one person is too long."

She understood the meaning of those words, but did not continue. Instead, she said, "The contract over there has not expired yet? When will you be back? " She was more concerned about that.

"Let's continue the collaboration here. We'll send them a script from home. The publisher agrees."

"Great, when will we return?" she asked again.

However, there was no reply for a long time.

She stared straight at the screen. It was at this moment that Shen Xi Ming arrived.

"What are you looking at? So serious? "

Qin Xiaotao looked up with a smile on her face. "Are you done?"

He nodded and pointed to her phone, "There are treasures there, my eyes are almost popping out." He sat down beside her and naturally placed his hand on the chair behind her.

"Hehe, let me tell you, Ye Chimu said that he's returning back home." Qin Xiaohai said, as if he had taken the credit.

Shen Xi Ming raised his eyebrows and poked her nose, "Your husband is right in front of you. He's back, so why are you so happy?"
