Qianyin and Qiao Xin had both had dinner and were discussing their upcoming trip to Shanghai in the lobby.
At this time, Zong Xing walked in with heavy steps and a gloomy expression.
As soon as Qiao Xin saw Zong Xing, she stood up in reaction and immediately moved forward, "You're back. Have you eaten?"
"Aunt Nineteen and I thought you wouldn't come back for dinner, so we didn't leave any food for you. If you haven't had dinner yet, I'll go to the kitchen and get you some."
Zong Xing frowned and looked at Qiao Xin, "Why are you here?"
Qiao Xin said with a smile: "You have been out all day today, so you don't know. Dad has already been here, and I asked for his permission to stay here."
"Dad also sent us a few more cooks, so we can have whatever cuisine we want in the future. Our place is no worse than the old house!"
Qiao Xin's words were like a bucket of oil, pouring on Zong Xing's already angry mood, making his anger burn even more intensely.
"Why do you have the nerve to come here? Have you selectively forgotten what you said to her and what you did before? And you."
Zong Xing looked at Qianyin, his eyes full of hatred, "She used to treat you like this, but you don't care at all? Why do we live here? Isn't it just that we don't have any interaction with her, and don't let her
Is there any chance of harming you?"
"Don't you know how to say no? Why can you be so cruel to me, but not to others besides me?"
Qiao Xin said aggrievedly: "Zong Xing, it's not what you think. I apologized to Aunt Nineteenth when I first came here, and Aunt Nineteenth also forgave me."
"I really understand my mistake, and I promise that from now on I will never treat Aunt Nineteen the way I did before."
"I know you won't believe me so easily, but you have to give me a chance to prove myself. I can't just make a mistake once and you'll never forgive me again, right?"
"I'm younger than you. According to our relationship, I should call you brother. You are my elder. You can't be so stingy. Are you right, brother Zongxing?"
At the end of the sentence, Qiao Xin's tone was coquettish.
If it were Lu Hua's other sons who were coquettishly called "brother" by her in such a tone, their bones would definitely be broken.
But Zong Xing is no different from someone with a heart of stone.
What's more, he already has Qian Yin in his heart and can no longer allow other women to come in.
Not only did his heart not waver at all, he even felt that Qiao Xin was disgusting like this.
Zong Xing pushed Qiao Xin away, who was very close to him, not hiding his disgust at all.
"Don't call me 'brother'. I don't have a sister like you. Your trick worked on my father's side, but it doesn't work on me. I'll go back to him now and ask him what's going on!"
As soon as Zong Xing came back, he left again. He went to the old house to find Lu Hua.
Qiao Xin ran to the door before catching up with him, and was sprayed in the face by the car's exhaust.
"Cough cough cough!" Qiao Xin coughed and returned to the hall.
"Why are you choking? Come, drink some water." Qianyin said.
Qiao Xin drank some water, looked at Qianyin worriedly and asked: "Aunt Nineteen, if brother Zong Xing goes back to question dad like this, will they quarrel? It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, brother Zong Xing
I won’t be so angry.”
This is very green tea speaking.
I know it's all her fault, so why don't you go back and have to live here?
Don't you just want to cause trouble for Qianyin?
Qianyin smiled and comforted her: "It doesn't matter, even if they have a quarrel, they will be fine soon. After all, they are father and son. How can father and son have an overnight feud?"
"Don't worry too much, just do whatever you have to do. Didn't you say you're going to Shanghai at night later? Do you still want to go?"
Qiao Xin shook her head, "Forget it, I won't go tonight, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I have to wait for brother Zong Xing to come back. He hasn't had dinner yet. When he comes back, I'll make him a bowl of noodles to let him know that I
If he really corrects himself, maybe his anger will subside a little."
Qianyin didn't try to persuade her anymore, she just told Qiao Xin to take a rest and then returned to her room.
The zebra crossing has a line of sight at the old house, so Qianyin can receive the latest information ahead.
As soon as Zong Xing returned to his old house, he accused Lu Hua;
Lu Hua told Zong Xing earnestly, but Zong Xing refused to listen, and a quarrel broke out between them;
In the middle of the quarrel, Lu Hua tried to persuade Zong Xing again, but Zong Xing was a hard-nosed guy, so the two started to quarrel again...
[Yin Zai, I’m all sleepy. They haven’t even finished arguing yet. I kept repeating those two sentences over and over again. They were really tired and panicked.]
Qianyin was already lying on the bed reading a book, and Zebra was lying in her arms.
"If you feel sleepy, go to sleep first. I don't have to keep watching what happened to them. Zong Xing will probably be back soon."
[It doesn’t matter, the nest can still last until he comes back!]
As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Xing in the picture stopped arguing with Lu Hua and slammed the door out.
After a while, there was movement outside, and the servants went out to welcome Zong Xing.
Qiao Xin had been waiting for him in the hall. When she saw him coming back, she didn't go forward to greet him, but hurriedly got into the kitchen.
Zong Xing walked straight towards Qianyin's yard. He was still angry, and he no longer cared about hiding anything.
It was already dark, and according to the rules set by Zong Xing, there were no maids to serve Qianyin in the courtyard.
After he came in, he locked the courtyard door from the inside so that no one could come in without permission.
He strode into Qianyin's room and closed the door, his handsome face full of anger.
"I'm back." Qianyin's eyes only raised their eyes from the book for a second before falling back down again, "I specifically asked a cook to stay up a little later just so that he could wait for you to come back and cook something for you to eat."
"Go ahead, you can't do anything complicated at this late hour. He should be able to do it soon. Eat more or less and don't get in trouble with your body."
Zong Xing gritted his molars and walked to her bedside, sat down and took out the book in her hand.
"What's wrong?" Qianyin looked at him.
"Why did you agree to let her live here?" Zong Xing's voice was cold, suppressing his anger.
Qianyin said rationally: "Why can't I let her live here? She is my current favorite daughter. She wants to have a good relationship with me. Why should I refuse her?"
Zong Xing yelled: "I don't like it! Is this a good reason?"
Qianyin's eyebrows suddenly softened, "Zong Xing, if Qiao Xin changes her identity and you say you don't like it, that's okay."
"But Qiao Xin has a special status. Even if you don't like her, you can't say it directly. You have to know that after all, she and the master are biological father and daughter, but you and the master... are not."
Zong Xing: "No, it's not, and I don't want to be his son at all! And Xu Xian, he said today that he thinks I'm very talented and wants to recognize me as his godbrother, but do you know what his conditions are? He
Let me help him deliver things to you and help him ask you out!"
"Qianyin, don't you think you are cruel to me? You can obviously kill me with one knife, why do you have to sharpen me with a dull knife?"
Qianyin looked at him with tears in her eyes, "As early as when I married Lu Hua, you should let go of the past. From that day on, I am your nineteenth aunt, and you are also my young master. Between us
There is no other relationship between us, you should have recognized it a long time ago."
Zong Xing's whole person's energy and energy were gone. He slumped there, looking down in despair.
He asked: "Is there really no room for change?"
Qianyin shook his head, "No more. Zong Xing, actually you can try to think about the good things and don't get into trouble."
"Look, since we entered the warlord's house, have our lives gotten better day by day? We don't have to worry about food and clothing. You are still learning marksmanship with Xu Xian. When you master it, you can enter Lu Hua's house.
If you train in the army, you might even become a major general in the future."
"Your future, your future is so bright, why do you have to stick to this small world in front of you? If you can learn the skills of being close to yourself, you will have a better development."
"You have heard the story of King Gou Jian of Yue, and you also understand the principle of working hard to endure hardship. Let me advise you, no matter how much you hate Lu Hua or Xu Xian now, they can help you become a capable person, so you have to
Bear with it.”
"When you endure it until the day you no longer need their help, you can leave them behind and do what you want to do."
"And when that day comes, you will also meet a better person. The fact that you can't let go of me now is just an obsession in your heart. When you have the ability in the future, you will have a broader world and obsession in your heart.
It will naturally disappear."
When Qianyin talked about what was going on, Zong Xing could still listen calmly.
But when he heard Qianyin say, "You will meet a better person," he clenched his fists suddenly.
When Qianyin finished speaking, he looked up at her with red eyes.
"Do you really want me to meet other women, like other women, or are you just saying angry things?"
Qianyin dodged his gaze and said, "Of course it's true."
"Look at me and say it!" Zong Xing held her shoulders, pinched her chin, and forced her to look into his eyes.
Qianyin looked at him and saw the tears in his eyes. She said with difficulty every word: "It is no longer possible between us."
"I sincerely hope that you can meet other better women and that you can have a happy family."
Zong Xing let go of Qian Yin.
He suddenly laughed, stood up with a smile, and stepped back with a smile.
The distance between them widened, making it difficult for Qianyin to see whether there were tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
"Okay... okay!" Zong Xing suppressed his smile and stood at the door of the room with an indifferent expression, "Then it is as you wish."
He left, and the door was shut loudly.
Qianyin sat on the bed, wiped the tears from her face, turned off the light and went to sleep.
After Zong Xing walked out of Qianyin's yard, he was hit by Qiao Xin who ran over to find him.
"It's so late, why don't you come to see Aunt Nineteen?"
Zong Xing didn't even look at her and just walked forward.
Qiao Xin trotted behind him, "Well, I know you have a very good relationship with Aunt Nineteen, and I also know you don't like me."
"But you haven't had dinner yet. I just made a bowl of noodles and put it in the restaurant. You can go and eat some. Even if you hate me, you can't live with your body."
Zong Xing suddenly stopped and Qiao Xin bumped into his back without paying attention.
"Ouch..." She held her forehead and cried out in pain.
Zong Xing turned around, showing no sign of sympathy.
He asked: "Qiao Xin, are you a bitch?"
Qiao Xin couldn't react to such a straightforward insult for a moment.
And when she came to her senses and was about to scold her back, she heard Zong Xing say again: "Otherwise you just like me."
Qiao Xin felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Not because she really likes Zong Xing, but because "showing that she likes Zong Xing" is her plan.
Unexpectedly, she behaved so well so quickly that Zong Xing successfully noticed it?
But apart from making a bowl of noodles, she didn't do anything else. How did Zong Xing find out?
But now that the matter has come to this, Qiao Xin can only lower her head and pretend to be shy and say: "I...I do...have a crush on you..."
She felt very uneasy.
After all, a few days ago she was stalking Gu Yaotian in the old house, but in the blink of an eye she showed her feelings to Zong Xing.
Will Zong Xing not believe her?
"So you want to live here not to make Aunt Nineteen forgive you or to have a good relationship with her, but you want to take this opportunity to get close to me?" Zong Xing asked.
Qiao Xin really wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this.
She didn't expect that Zong Xing not only believed it, but was also so confident.
Although Zong Xing is quite handsome, no one can replace Yaotian's position in her heart.
What's more, she and Zong Xing are still brothers and sisters in name only. How could she have feelings for Zong Xing?
These were what Qiao Xin was thinking, and she didn't show any of them on her face.
She nodded shyly, "I didn't expect you to notice it so quickly. Don't feel any psychological burden. Having a good impression of you is my own business and has nothing to do with you."
After Zong Xing was silent for a while, he walked towards the restaurant.
Qiao Xin was overjoyed when she saw this, but she still pretended not to understand and deliberately asked: "Aren't you going to eat the noodles I made?"
Zong Xing said: "Am I going to the restaurant?"
Qiao Xin was so excited that she even looked like she was about to cry, "You, are you really willing to eat the noodles I made? Wait, the noodles may be lumpy already, I will make another one for you!"
She was about to run to the kitchen, but Zong Xing grabbed her.
"Don't bother, I won't pick. Just eat whatever you have."
Qiao Xin was surprised that Zong Xing would actually pull her, even though the part he pulled was her arm, not her hand, and there was clothing material between her.
But this kind of action can be considered very intimate.
Her first reaction was to get rid of Zong Xing, but thinking of her plan, she still held back.
She thought to herself.
Yaotian, I didn't betray you, I did this all for revenge and to make Qianyin sad!
After my plan is completed, I will definitely go to you and only be with you in this life!
Qiao Xin was dragged all the way to the restaurant by Zong Xing.
What she thought was an intimate act was no different from Zong Xing's point of view than dragging a pig to the restaurant.
The bowl of noodles was indeed a little lumpy, but Zong Xing didn't care at all and just picked up the bowl and started eating.
Qiao Xin started drooling a little when she saw how deliciously he ate.
Is it really so delicious? It’s just a bowl of Yangchun noodles, not even a shred of pork!
"It's delicious. Can you make it for me again tomorrow morning? I've never had such delicious Yangchun noodles." After eating, Zong Xing asked.
Qiao Xin nodded blankly, "Okay, okay."
Early the next morning, Qianyin came to the restaurant to have breakfast, and saw Qiao Xin walking up to Zong Xing with a bowl of Yangchun noodles.
She smiled brightly and said, "Brother Zong Xing, I will definitely satisfy your request. Look, the freshly baked Yangchun noodles will definitely taste better than the ones that were lumpy last night. Try it!"
When Zong Xing took Yang Chun's noodles, he glanced at Qian Yin from the corner of his eye.
