Chapter 168 Winning the Heart of the Beauty
Chapter 168 Winning the Heart of the Beauty
Qin Xue blushed instantly, her face turning bright red all the way to her ears. She had never been hugged by a man before, not since she was a child.
She didn't push Qi Tongwei away; she was secretly pleased that she had broken through this barrier.
Qi Tongwei had used a little trick; as long as Qin Xue didn't get angry, he would have won the heart of the beauty.
These days, hugging in public is considered bold, especially since the crime of hooliganism hasn't been abolished yet.
Qi Tongwei didn't want to be made a fool of, so he let go of Qin Xue, took her hands in his, and looked at her with deep affection.
"Junior, be my girlfriend."
"Um"
Qin Xue nodded, then lowered her head shyly.
Qi Tongwei was so excited that he couldn't help but hug Qin Xue tightly. No words could express his feelings at that moment.
Even after being reborn, he is still moved by love.
Qin Xue's heart pounded wildly. She longed to spend her life with this man, believing in the saying "one man, one woman, one lifetime."
Suddenly, a hand patted Qi Tongwei on the back. He turned around and saw that it was Qin Ge.
"This is your girlfriend."
Qin Ge was wearing sunglasses and had a boss-like aura. A female assistant was helping her carry her suitcase.
Qi Tongwei took Qin Xue's hand tightly, his excitement overflowing. "Sister Qin, this is my girlfriend, Qin Xue. Isn't she younger and prettier than you?"
Qin Ge felt like he had swallowed a fly; this kid's mouth was truly venomous.
Do you know what my relationship with her is?
Qi Tongwei was taken aback. Both of them had the surname Qin, but there were many people with the surname Qin. It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it? He felt a little guilty.
"from the same village"
Qin Ge took off her sunglasses and gave Qi Tongwei a death stare. "Guess again."
Qi Tongwei glanced at Qin Xue, who smiled slightly and said it had nothing to do with him. Suddenly, a bold idea popped into his head: could it be his sister-in-law?
"elder sister"
Qin Ge sneered, "I'm her aunt, her biological aunt from the same mother as her father. You think you can marry my niece so easily?"
A true man can bend and stretch, so Qi Tongwei quickly put on a smiling face, "Auntie, I'm so sorry for offending you. We've become friends through this little misunderstanding, haven't we?"
Qin Ge was a little jealous that his niece had stolen the man he had his eye on. Putting aside his abilities, the guy's physique and looks were top-notch.
"Do you even know who Shen Guoqing is?"
Qi Tongwei looked puzzled. "Who is it?"
"Shen Guoqing is Xiaoxue's maternal uncle. You beat and arrested her uncle. Do you think my sister-in-law will agree to let her daughter marry you?"
Qin Ge's face was full of amusement, as if he were enjoying a vengeful feeling.
Like a bolt from the blue, Qi Tongwei felt like the sky was falling. He had offended his future mother-in-law before even meeting her, and he was afraid he wouldn't even be able to get through the door.
Suddenly it dawned on him: if the Shen family is a prominent family, then the Qin family is naturally a prominent family, meaning there would be a deep chasm between him and Qin Xue.
Qi Tongwei was a little unsure of himself. Qin Xue noticed the strange look on his face and guessed that he was overthinking things, so she squeezed his hand tightly.
"Auntie, I'll make my own decisions about my marriage. No one can stop me if I'm willing."
Hearing Qin Xue's words, Qi Tongwei's confidence returned immediately. That's right, as long as Qin Xue was willing, he could take her to the ends of the earth, and eloping was not out of the question.
Qin Ge was surprised that her niece was determined to marry Qi Tongwei. Anyway, she knew that her former sister-in-law Shen Ning would definitely not agree. How could such a strong-willed sister-in-law allow her daughter to marry the son of an ordinary commoner?
"Fine, I won't interfere in your affairs, but you promised to act with me, so you can't go back on your word."
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way," Qi Tongwei thought, too lazy to even consider things that hadn't happened yet. "Auntie, I never agreed to act with you."
Regardless, Qin Ge still had high hopes for Qi Tongwei's acting career and directly threatened him, "You better think it over before you speak, I'm Xiaoxue's only aunt."
Qi Tongwei took Qin Xue's hand, and the two smiled at each other, their love unspoken. "Auntie," he said, "I really don't like acting. There are so many pretty boys at the film academy, you can just pick one."
Qin Ge was furious, her eyes blazing with anger. This kid was clearly implying that she was keeping a lover. "You bastard, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Qi Tongwei took off running, shouting, "Auntie, you've got the wrong idea! I meant you're very charming!"
Qin Xue quickly caught up and took Qin Ge's hand, "Auntie, don't take it to heart, he's just a smart aleck."
Qin Ge was panting heavily, her chest heaving. "Xiao Xue, listen to your aunt and dump this boy. There are so many high-ranking officials' sons in Kyoto; your aunt will help you choose the best one."
Qi Tongwei stopped and laughed, "Auntie, you can't break up a couple like this. The sons of high-ranking officials in Beijing aren't suitable for Xiaoxue. She's taken a liking to me, this wild frog prince."
"Frog Prince," Qin Xue said with a happy smile. Qin Ge realized that there was no chance; his niece had completely fallen in love.
"You just wait, kid. If you dare bully Xiaoxue, I won't let you get away with it."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will cherish Xiaoxue for the rest of my life."
The overwhelming stench of love sent a chill down Qin Ge's spine. "Let's go home."
After leaving the airport, Qin Ge told his assistant not to follow him anymore. They had two days off, and the three of them took a taxi and left.
On his first visit to the girl's home, Qi Tongwei couldn't go empty-handed. When they arrived at the Xidan department store, he and Qin Xue got out of the car to buy gifts, while Qin Ge went home first.
Qin Xue advised, "Don't buy so much, we already have enough at home."
"Xiaoxue, this is my first time meeting your family, so my attitude is very important. Bringing some gifts is definitely a good idea."
Qi Tongwei pushed a cart that was fully loaded with Moutai, Zhonghua cigarettes, high-calcium powder, sesame paste, biscuits and candy for the children. He added that Brain Gold hadn't come out yet, so he might buy a few boxes.
Grandpa told Qin Xue to tell Qi Tongwei not to buy anything, but she knew that men care about their image and would never go empty-handed, so she didn't stop him. She just didn't expect him to buy so much, as if he wanted to carry the whole mall back home.
When it came time to pay the bill, Qin Xue felt a pang of pain after spending several thousand yuan.
Qin Xue lives in her grandfather's house, a courtyard house, which is very close to the Forbidden City. Qi Tongwei saw that such a location was not something that could be bought with money; one also needed power.
Qi Tongwei carried a large pile of things to the door, but then felt he had bought too much and looked like a nouveau riche, and he was very conflicted.
Qin Xue offered comforting words, "Don't worry, my grandfather is the one who calls the shots at home. He approves of our relationship."
Qi Tongwei mustered his courage, thinking that all people are born equal and no official, no matter how high-ranking, should be afraid.
"Xiaoxue, I will try my best."
Immediately, a little girl ran out happily, calling out, "Sister Xiaoxue, Sister Xiaoxue!"
She is Qin Ge's daughter, five years old this year, and her surname is Qin Min, following her mother's surname.
Then Qin Ge and Old Mrs. Qin also rushed out.
When Grandma Qin saw Qi Tongwei, she thought the young man was handsome and energetic. Since her husband agreed, she had no objections either.
Qin Xue quickly introduced them, "This is my grandmother, and this is my aunt's daughter, Minmin."
Qi Tongwei was very nervous. "Hello, Grandma, I'm Qi Tongwei. Sorry to bother you."
"Advanced house, advanced house"
Grandma Qin was very hospitable and helped carry things. Since Qin Xue's parents divorced, her granddaughter had been withdrawn for so many years. Now that she could take the initiative to bring her boyfriend home, Grandma Qin was genuinely happy, which showed that her granddaughter had emerged from the shadow of her parents' divorce.
