"Sister Su Qi, we all owe you. If you hadn't married Young Master Qin, we wouldn't be enjoying this good fortune. It seems that in the future, Sister Su Qi, marrying into a wealthy family, you will live a very happy life!"
Happy?
Su Qi pondered for a moment. After Yang Tianhao left the office, she picked up her phone.
At noon, Qin Yusheng drove over, and the two had lunch at a restaurant downstairs from the company.
This restaurant was usually crowded at noon. Because of its high prices, it was frequented by high-level executives or leaders from nearby office buildings.
Su Qi expected it to be crowded today as well.
Su Qi arrived at half past twelve. As she walked into the restaurant, she found it surprisingly empty, with only a few waiters. A waiter with a beaming smile stepped forward, "Madam Qin, this way, please."
It was a window seat, with a comfortable temperature and soft chairs. From here, one could see the outside scenery. It was on the second floor, not too high, not too low, with a good view of the greenery outside and a small garden.
Before Su Qi could sit down, footsteps sounded, the soft sound of small leather shoes on the floor.
"I'm late, I owe you a kiss." Qin Yusheng's magnetic and pleasant voice, laced with a smile, flowed like a gentle stream, extremely melodious.
Su Qi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. A kiss was hardly necessary!
Someone as distinguished and noble as Qin Yusheng, how could his IQ seem to drop when he was in love?
No wonder people say that even the smartest individuals lose their minds when they fall in love.
"Have you booked your flight back to the capital?"
Last night at dinner, Qin Yusheng's parents had called. They had learned about Qin Yusheng's engagement. Qin Yusheng had taken a call that lasted half an hour. After the call, he seemed unsettled and preoccupied. When asked, he revealed that his family was questioning him.
Su Qi had asked Qin Yusheng to buy a ticket home. After all, he had to inform his family. An engagement made in haste, a marriage certificate obtained hastily, and to be an unrecognized daughter-in-law by the Qin family – she might as well marry into an ordinary family.
"Yes, the flight is at six or seven in the afternoon. After lunch, I'll head to the airport. I'll arrive in the capital tonight. I'll let you know when I land, so don't worry. This trip to the capital, I will persuade my parents, and they will accept you."
Let's hope so.
In the afternoon, while Su Qi was in a meeting, she received a message from Qin Yusheng. He had boarded the plane. He had attached a photo of his first-class seat. The man's legs were straight and long. Even in casual pants, one could still feel the man's muscles.
Qin Yusheng had given her some instructions, and finally added, "Don't worry, I won't accept any advances from other girls. My heart belongs only to you, my eyes and heart are filled with you."
It seemed that the flight attendants were all trying to strike up conversations with Qin Yusheng.
This was understandable.
Su Qi sighed. She actually wished a flight attendant would successfully charm Qin Yusheng away. Qin Yusheng's return to the Qin family this time was uncertain. It was possible he wouldn't be back for a year or a half.
She hoped for that. When Qin Yusheng returned, the company would probably have enough to repay the thirty million to him.
Su Qi was lost in thought, barely paying attention to the meeting. After the meeting ended, perhaps due to her pregnancy, she felt a bit tired and sleepy.
"Sister Su Qi, you're already five or six months pregnant. You don't need to work so hard. Leave the company management to me. If there's anything important, I'll notify you. You've worked hard for the company during this period, so you can't overexert yourself. It's not good for the baby."
Yang Tianhao spoke in a nagging, motherly tone.
Su Qi smiled and her gaze swept over the invitation on the table. Huo Tingyun and Li Caiyi's wedding was next week. How ironic that the man she loved was marrying one woman after another. Even a stranger held a higher position in Huo Tingyun's heart than she did.
Su Qi finished work a little earlier today and returned home, collapsing onto the sofa.
She rubbed her temples and suddenly remembered that she hadn't heard any news from Sheng Yuchen recently.
The subsidiary of Shengshi Group was preparing to open. She wondered if Sheng Yuchen had achieved his goals.
With too many worries on her mind, she drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
When she woke up, it was already evening. She noticed that the balcony door, which should have been open, was closed. The room was warm, and the central air conditioning had been turned on.
Strange, she didn't remember closing the window to sleep, nor did she turn on the air conditioning...
Su Qi pushed herself up with her arms and walked towards the kitchen. As she opened the refrigerator, she simultaneously opened the supermarket app on her phone to buy some groceries. To her surprise, when she opened the refrigerator, she saw a pile of fruits and vegetables inside, along with her favorite drinks.
Had Qin Yusheng bought them when he came? Why hadn't he told her? Or had she bought them herself and forgotten?
Truly, pregnancy made one foolish for three years. She hadn't even given birth yet, and she was already acting foolish. It seemed she had been too tired lately, and too busy with many things.
Her phone vibrated. It was a message from Qin Yusheng.
"Are you off work? My plane just landed. Wait for my good news. Make sure you eat on time. Your takeout should be arriving. There's been takeout all this time. When I get back, I'll take care of you, so don't starve yourself."
Su Qi pursed her lips. She looked at the fresh fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator. They looked very fresh, as if they were picked today. It was unlikely Qin Yusheng bought them, nor had she bought them herself. So, who was it? Also, lately, there seemed to be fewer residents in this building. It was strange, she barely saw anyone in the elevators going up or down, as if they had all moved out one after another.
In the capital, as night fell, the bustling metropolis lit up with neon lights. As far as the eye could see, there was a constant flow of traffic, lively and vibrant, with picturesque scenery, a scene of pure indulgence.
Qin Yusheng's car was parked outside a five-star hotel.
Originally, Qin Yusheng's parents were supposed to pick him up at the airport. However, traffic in the capital was too heavy at this hour, so Qin Yusheng booked a hotel and came directly to the hotel for dinner after getting off the plane.
Qin Yusheng had been in Shencheng for several months and had not been in contact with the Qin family. For tonight's welcoming banquet, Qin Yusheng had expected some relatives to be present. He knocked and opened the private room door. Inside the spacious hotel room, only his father, Qin Ruhui, and his mother, Qin Yu, were seated. Qin Yu stood up when she saw Qin Yusheng push the door open.
"Yusheng, you're finally back..."
Qin Yusheng frowned deeply. He hadn't expected to see a man sitting next to his father, Qin Ruhui.
Who else could it be but Huo Tingyun?
The room was so large, with only three people, yet Huo Tingyun was sitting boldly in the main seat.
In terms of status, the Qin family was not inferior to the Huo family. Moreover, Huo Tingyun was merely a guest. To come here from Shencheng and so brazenly occupy the main seat was audacious.
Qin Yusheng frowned, "Mr. Huo?"
"Yusheng, do you know each other?" Qin Yu stepped forward and stood in front of Qin Yusheng. After not seeing him for several months, she missed her son terribly. She looked him up and down, and only after confirming that her son was alright did she pat her chest and breathe a sigh of relief.
