Hu Yuefei had returned to the Lin Family to celebrate the New Year, which meant that during the Spring Festival, she would not be back at the villa. Lin Xi suddenly felt that the air in the villa had become very sweet.

Now that the babysitter was gone, their dinner was a takeaway from the hotel.

Ever since Lin Xi was reborn, this seemed to be the first time she and Qin Yu had eaten alone together. She kept feeling that something was weird, especially the person opposite of her, who kept looking at you from time to time.

After Lin Xi ate a few mouthfuls, she could not help but ask, "Can I have some wine?"

"Of course." Qin Yu shifted his gaze to the nearby wine carriage, indicating that Lin Xi could pick any of them.

Lin Xi did not pick them out, she stood up and grabbed a bottle. After drinking two cups by herself, under the effects of the alcohol, she was finally able to ignore the uncomfortable feeling, and could finally eat without worry. But just as she was about to eat, Qin Yu's phone suddenly rang.

It was Old Madem Qin's video call.

After the old lady greeted Qin Yu, she was about to speak to him. Lin Xi took the phone, and obediently called her grandmother.

Because of the jet lag, it was early in the morning at the old lady's place. She said, "I forgot that you had dinner at the same time. Did I disturb you?"

"No, I'm almost done eating." Lin Xi said against her own heart.

But the Old Madem Qin's Fiery Eyes of Truth said, "But I just saw that the dishes on the table haven't been touched yet. You eat too little, or are the dishes not to my liking?"

Without waiting for Lin Xi to reply, Old Madem Qin sighed and said: "It's almost New Year, I really want to stay with you guys, if only I could cook for you two everyday."

Lin Xi automatically changed the old lady's "we" to "I". She imagined that scene in her mind, it was too warm. However, Qin Yu said from the side: "Even though we also miss you a lot, but you know, every year, over at the ancestral house, there will always be a ruckus. Your body won't be able to take it."

The old mistress imagined the scenes that had played out on the Qin Clan's ancestral house and immediately lost the desire to return home.

Lin Xi saw that her expression suddenly became sad, so she anxiously said: "If you want Qin Yu and I, then when it's convenient for Qin Yu to travel in two days, we can come and see you."

"No need, you guys are always so busy with work. It wasn't easy for you guys to fly around during a vacation, it was too exhausting." The old mistress' heart ached. "Besides, I'm not alone here. I still have a lot of friends with me."

The tone of the old lady's dissuasion was exactly the same as when Lin Quansheng had persuaded him to go back to his homeland again and again in the hospital. Lin Xi thought that all the elders should have the same kind of mentality. Because they love their children dearly, they would rather be alone.

"However, thinking about how June is almost up, I can go back to my country and participate in your wedding with Qin Yu." The old mistress' tone was cheerful again.

After the Chinese style breakfast was served by the nurse in front of her, she happily suggested, "Put your phone farther away so we can eat and talk at the same table."

Lin Xi did as the madame said, and looked at the madame on the screen not far away. It was as if there were really three people on the table now.

However, the three of them being at the same table felt extremely warm and warm to the touch. That strange feeling she had with Qin Yu returned.

Lin Xi poured another glass of red wine for herself and then started to act out a show of affection with Qin Yu in front of the old lady.

She pretended to give Qin Yu food while she ate. Other than that, she peeled an entire plate of prawns for her, and then helped her eat more. Qin Yu used a napkin to wipe the soup that was accidentally stuck to the corner of his mouth.

Lin Xi felt that she might have drank too much, if not she wouldn't have seen an expression of enjoyment and satisfaction from Qin Yu's face while she helped her move the prawns. Wasn't he supposed to want the prawns in his plate to be her, then peel them while imagining how she would be skinned and cramped?

During the meal, Qin Yu would continuously praise her to his grandmother, saying that she was smart, understanding, and reasonable. This made her have no choice but to follow along with Qin Yu and say that he was gentle, considerate, and reliable.

The madame on the other side of the ocean had breakfast and had to go for a walk downstairs before ending the painful dinner.

Lin Xi no longer had any thoughts of continuing to eat, but it was still early, so she went to the living room to watch TV. Seeing that Qin Yu had also entered the study room, she quietly turned down the volume of the TV.

When the channel was changed, Lin Xi suddenly realized that the perfume advertisement for Little Raspy had already started playing. The length of the commercial was only about 40 seconds. Due to the rough nature of the filming, it could be seen that much effort was expended later on. Whether it was the quality of the painting or its style, it could be considered a 'blockbuster'.

Lin Xi then secretly checked the sales of the perfume used in the advertisement, and when she saw that, Lin Xi was shocked. Other than the few classic versions that were extremely popular, the rest of the sales were pretty much at the same level.

Lin Xi still remembered the smell of the perfume, it was just a normal little sweet fragrance, compared to the little red berries, it was not too shocking. Was it because of her advertising effect?

It was no wonder that Sister Yun called her two days ago and told her that a lot of brands had contacted her recently, wanting her to take part in the commercial as a spokesperson.

Lin Xi played by herself for a while before choosing a Korean idol drama to watch.

Maybe the plot was too boring, or maybe she had drank too much red wine during dinner, Lin Xi didn't know when but she had fallen asleep on the sofa.

When she woke up, she found out that Qin Yu was carrying her upstairs. She only took a glance before quickly closing her eyes to pretend to be asleep. The orange light on the stairs was dim, Qin Yu did not realise that she had woken up.

Qin Yu sent her back to her own room, then affectionately covered her with a blanket and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner.

But Lin Xi was unable to fall asleep, because she had already stood in front of her bed for quite a few minutes and had not moved an inch. She didn't open her eyes, but she could feel his breath.

Honestly speaking, Lin Xi was a little scared by his actions of standing motionlessly at the head of the bed.

Could it be that she had acted too hard during dinner, causing Qin Yu to be dissatisfied? Or could it be that Qin Yu was finally unable to hold it in and planned to kill her and Hu Yuefei and they both took flight?

Lin Xi's mind was filled with trains, and the more she ran, the more afraid she became.

Just when she was about to think about living and pretend that he had woken up, Qin Yu suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. Then, he closed the door and left.

When Lin Xi was completely unable to hear the footsteps outside the room's door, she opened his eyes and blankly touched the spot on her lips where Qin Yu had kissed before.

What does Qin Yu mean by this? He had just rejected her half a month ago, so why did he suddenly kiss her today? And what she kissed was not on her cheeks or forehead, but on her lips, which made her want to think more about it, but on her face?

She took out her cell phone and texted Ding Xiaoyuan, "What do you mean, if a person says that he doesn't like you, but always does something that makes you think about what he's doing, like saving a beauty, or kissing you while you're sleeping?

Ding Xiaoyuan was still awake, so she quickly replied: "According to my grandmother's theory, I obviously like him, but maybe that person is a little depressed, so I won't admit it. "But why did you suddenly ask about this? You and your fiancé aren't on good terms again?"

Lin Xi thought, since when did her relationship with Qin Yu "get along"?

But, did Qin Yu really like her? He seemed to have said that he had a good impression of her before, but that was not worth mentioning in front of Hu Yuefei …

Lin Xi suddenly realised that she had missed the most important part of the message that she had sent to Ding Xiaoyuan.

"What if that one already has a girlfriend?" Ling She added and asked Ding Xiaoyuan.

Ding Xiaoyuan's reply seemed to have come instantaneously, "Then he's just a scumbag trying to get away with it with her life on the line!"

Scum Man... Two boats with one foot...

Hmm, Lin Xi suddenly felt that she could fall asleep again.

Although Lin Xi slept, she had a dream the whole night. When she woke up the next day, her face was covered with dark circles.

Since the Spring Festival was going to take place, at the end of the year, it was the busiest time for businesses, and Qin’s was no exception. Qin Yu had to go to the company early in the morning.

Before he left, he told Lin Xi, "Tonight, the Qin’s will hold an annual meeting at 8 o'clock. At that time, I will come to pick you up to participate."

After he finished speaking, he left, not giving Lin Xi the chance to express his opinion at all.

"Forget it," Lin Xi looked at the closed villa's entrance, and thought: "I'll just treat it as fulfilling my original transaction obligations."

She did not sleep well last night, but when she walked through the kitchen like a wandering spirit, she realized that Qin Yu had actually left her breakfast — lean meat porridge and fried eggs.

Lin Xi unrestrainedly started eating, as she grumbled in her heart. Qin Yu also did not know which family's take-out dish she was calling from, and the taste and heat were far worse than what she had eaten before. She could only give a poor evaluation of it.

However, although the taste of the porridge was not good enough, it was not hard for people to swallow.

But when she did, she found the eggshell in the kitchen trash can and the tablet computer on the counter, still sitting on the page of the porridge recipe.

Qin Yu couldn't have made today's breakfast by himself, right?

Lin Xi looked at the menu again. Since her mouth was short, she decided to take back her previous bad evaluation. She smiled and gave Qin Yu a good evaluation.
