Qin Xiaorou stammered: "Sister, sister, you, where did you hear about this?"
"You don't know yet?"
"have no idea."
Qin Wan smiled and said, "Then your Excellency may want to give you a surprise. I also heard from my father that your schedule includes taking your wife to attend the Lantern Festival of other countries tomorrow."
Qin Xiaorou's heart was beating "bump, bang, bang," and she felt a little dizzy at the same time.
During this period, Your Excellency has been very cold towards her. Why do you suddenly want to take her to the Lantern Festival?
Could it be...
She never fought or grabbed, and she also lied to you in front of Mrs. Qiao, making Mrs. Qiao mistakenly think that she and you were getting along well, and she never raised any issues with you.
Did she move you so much?
That's why you took her to the Lantern Festival, or was it a way to show your kindness to her?
Although this seems unlikely.
But apart from this reason, is there any other reason?
"Xiaorou, sister told you that she will definitely fall in love over time, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon. You must take advantage of it and strive to take your relationship to a further level." Qin Wan instructed.
After talking to Qin Wan, Qin Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, and then said to the servant Xiaoli, help her prepare water, she wanted to take a bath.
…
Qin Xiaorou took a petal milk bath.
After taking a bath, she asked Xiaoli to help her put on makeup.
Xiaoli was puzzled by this.
She said: "Miss, you come back so late every day. You don't come back until you fall asleep. You can't even see you put on your makeup."
"Help me change it." Qin Xiaorou still insisted.
Xiaoli had no choice but to help Qin Xiaorou put on makeup. Qin Xiaorou looked in the mirror for a while, with a faint smile on her lips.
So pretty.
Since you will take her to the Lantern Festival tomorrow, maybe you will come back early tonight?
…
This night, Qin Xiaorou did not turn off the lights and fall asleep early as usual.
She sat on the bed and waited.
Time passed minute by minute.
Qiao Shaoting never came back.
Qin Xiaorou still insisted on waiting.
In the early hours of the morning, the bedroom door was finally pushed open.
Seeing the light filling the room, Qiao Shaoting was stunned for a moment.
It turns out that when I came back at this time, the lights in the bedroom were already turned off.
He subconsciously looked towards the bed. Qin Xiaorou was not sleeping, but sitting on the bed.
Qiao Shaoting is a straight man. Unless he wears heavy makeup, he can hardly detect women's makeup.
And Qin Xiaorou wore light makeup, so Qiao Shaoting didn't notice that Qin Xiaorou even put on makeup.
He frowned and said in a cold voice: "Turn off the lights, I'm going to sleep."
Qin Xiaorou was a little stunned.
She thought Qiao Shaoting would say something to her when he came back, but she didn't expect that he just said to turn off the lights and go to bed.
"Your Excellency, wait." Seeing Qiao Shaoting turning off the lights, Qin Xiaorou suddenly shouted.
Qiao Shaoting looked at Qin Xiaorou with a bit of impatience in his eyes.
Qin Xiaorou mustered up her courage: "Sir, are you taking me to participate in other countries' lantern festivals tomorrow?"
Qiao Shaoting's eyes became sharp: "How do you know?"
"I, I heard that." Facing Qiao Shaoting's sharp eyes, Qin Xiaorou felt a little uneasy.
"Yes." Qiao Shaoting said: "This is your duty as the mother of the country. Since you married me, you have to bear the honor and have to pay for it. It is natural for you to accompany me to other countries."
"I, I understand." Qin Xiaorou looked away: "I am very happy to be able to travel with you."
Qiao Shaoting said nothing and turned off the light directly.
The night gradually deepened.
But neither of the two people in the bedroom fell asleep.
Qiao Shaoting is thinking about the Lantern Festival tomorrow.
He will appear in City A with Qin Xiaorou.
That familiar yet unfamiliar city A.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, all the people will flock to the streets, perhaps including Qin Yu.
When the time comes, Qin Yu will see him and Qin Xiaorou next to him.
Thinking of this, Qiao Shaoting's heart felt like a knife.
Qin Xiaorou, who was lying on the bed, also felt very uncomfortable.
She was originally filled with joy when she received Qin Wan's call today.
But now, that joy was in vain.
It turned out that she was too sentimental.
It was dark, and a wry smile flashed across Qin Xiaorou's eyes.
…
The next day comes quickly.
Because of the Lantern Festival, Qin Yu and Fang Panpan’s bakery closed early.
After closing the store, Qin Yu and Fang Panpan went to buy masks together.
This is also the rule of the Lantern Festival.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, all people must wear masks.
Fang Panpan bought a red panda mask and a bunny mask for Qin Yu.
After buying the mask, Qin Yu received a call from Wen Tian.
Wen Tian wanted to join Qin Yu in the Lantern Festival, but Qin Yu refused.
Wen Tian has a husband.
When the time comes, take her with you and you will have an extra light bulb.
"Sister, I am participating with my friends. Too many people will not be fun. Just stay with your brother-in-law. It will be the same with me and my friends," Qin Yu said.
Seeing Qin Yu say this, Wen Tian didn't insist.
She smiled and said: "Well, maybe we will meet him tonight, but we are all wearing masks, so we might not be able to recognize him."
…
7pm.
Qiao Shaoting brought Qin Xiaorou to City A.
This is the first time that Qiao Shaoting and Qin Xiaorou travel together.
It was also the first time Qin Xiaorou appeared in public as the mother of the Northern Kingdom.
Qin Xiaorou wore a traditional dress, her black hair was pulled up high, and she had a noble temperament.
When accompanying Qiao Shaoting, she always showed a modest and polite smile, and every detail was impeccable.
This is what the mother of a country should look like.
Later, Qiao Shaoting and Qin Xiaorou, as well as the president and mayor of the country to which City A belongs, got on the float together.
This float with a unique shape and decorated with lights will be paraded throughout City A later.
…
At the same time, people in City A flocked to the streets.
Only when they got to the streets did everyone get the news.
The important guests attending the Lantern Festival tonight are actually the president and his wife of the North Country.
The people were in an uproar after hearing this.
"Oh my god, it's actually the president of Northland! I thought he was a celebrity! I didn't expect it was the president!"
"I knew from the beginning that he wasn't a celebrity! After all, he was said to be a very important guest! But I didn't expect that he was the president of the North Country, and that he brought his wife as well!"
"The president of the North has just gotten married! He brought his wife with him. He seems to like her very much! That's why he can't wait to show his wife to everyone!"
"..."
Fang Panpan and Qin Yu were stunned when they heard that the guests were Qiao Shaoting and his wife.
Fang Panpan was speechless.
She never thought it was Qiao Shaoting!
After all, with the relationship between Qiao Shaoting and Qin Yu, it is impossible for Qiao Shaoting to come to City A to participate in the Lantern Festival! And he brought his wife to participate!
What on earth did Qiao Shaoting think of this!
…
Qin Yu was also startled for a moment.
She never expected that it would be Qiao Shaoting.
