Yun Qiao's hand slowly caressed Xi Lanting's head and face.
Her fingertips were slightly warm, her palms were soft, and she gently rubbed his short hair.
Xi Lanting allowed her to caress him, looking at her with his eyes. At this moment, his pupils were bright and black, and the strong emotions were surging inside. The cause was Yun Qiao.
At this moment, Yun Qiao was very sure that he loved her.
She saw through it and huddled in his arms to listen to his slow heartbeat.
After dinner, we returned to the fourth room. Du Xueru and others had not yet returned to their rooms and were sitting in the living room chatting.
The Jiang brothers and sisters and Sheng Yun went to Peking. Du Xueru was a little envious of Jiang Yanyu's good marriage, and also talked about the return of Mayor Li's son and daughter to China a few days ago.
"...Mayor Li's wife sent an invitation to invite you to a banquet. It's nominally for Miss Li and Master Li's birthday, but it's actually a blind date. Miss Li is over 20 years old." Du Xueru said.
Having said this, Du Xueru paused and said, "Today's parents are really big-hearted. In our time, girls would start talking about kissing when they were twelve or thirteen years old."
Yun Qiao: "..."
She and Xi Wenlan were both over twenty, and Du Xueru was still lamenting such gossip. Could it be that in her heart, she was not a mother at all?
Xi Wenqing also heard that she was very annoyed with her mother. Children of his age hate their parents the most and are extremely rebellious.
"How old are our two sisters?" Xi Wenqing slapped her directly in the face.
Du Xueru suddenly became unhappy.
Seeing that Du Xueru was about to lose his temper, Fourth Master Xi immediately interrupted: "It's getting late, so everyone should go back to their rooms and sleep."
Everyone stood up.
Yun Qiao was about to leave, but Fourth Master Xi stopped her: "Yun Qiao?"
"What's wrong, Dad?" Yun Qiao stood still, turned around and asked, his eyes falling into the light.
"Today my friend gave me two old wild ginseng sticks, and I gave them to the kitchen. The cook will make the old wild wild ginseng chicken noodle soup for you alone. You have to be patient and eat it for a few days. It's not enough to be hospitalized all the time. You have to take good care of yourself."
Fourth Master said.
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Du Xueru looked tense: "How much does a piece of old wild ginseng cost?"
The price of old wild ginseng is variable. The expensive ones cost a small yellow croaker, while the cheap ones may cost a few yuan. Anyway, they are not too cheap.
Fourth Master Xi: "It was a gift from a friend, I don't know."
Du Xueru: "..."
If you don’t want to mention the price, just say it’s a gift from a friend. Du Xueru has also used this trick.
She was certain that Fourth Master Xi had spent his own money to buy it. Although his pocket money was subsidized to Du Xueru, he always had some extra income in the yamen.
He usually gives it to his family, but he hasn't seen this money recently.
Du Xueru couldn't ask. If he asked the Fourth Master, he would become anxious and say that he was an honest official.
He loves face and fame most.
Fourth Master Xi is also stingy. He is not even willing to pay for a cup of coffee for his female colleagues or female students. He is only generous to his wife and children.
After he regarded Yun Qiao as his own child, he saw Yun Qiao going to the hospital every now and then. He didn't know the inside story, but just thought she was in poor health. After all, Yun Qiao looked thin and weak.
Yun Qiao was also stunned, and then her heart warmed, and she suddenly felt like she had a home.
"Thank you, Dad," she said, "I'm taking good care of you, parents, don't worry."
Fourth Master Xi nodded and went back to his room first.
Xi Wenlan bit her lip. Even though she was disappointed and angry countless times, she still couldn't accept that her father had become Yun Qiao's father.
Why do you care so much about Yun Qiao?
What about the father who avoided suspicion and was indifferent to Yun Qiao in the past? Why did they become so close after being together for a long time?
She strode upstairs, her eyes red with jealousy, almost dripping with blood.
