Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations As expected, everyone was shocked when they heard the news.
Just as everyone thought, when everyone heard the news, they couldn't help but be shocked. Whether it was the big circle of Sijiu City or the capital circle, everyone was discussing this topic. It became a hot topic for all the big shots. No one could figure out what the Qin family was doing.
That was because the Qin Family had regained control of the Chang 'an System before. It was because the Qin Family and the Sixth Uncle had fought for a long time that the winner was decided. At the same time, the marriage between the Qin Family and the Song Family showed up, which showed that the Qin Family had a turning point. In particular, the elders of the four families had all attended the engagement banquet, which indirectly stood guard for the Qin Family. Therefore, everyone thought that the storm of the Qin Family might be over. It was estimated that Qin Changan would be released from prison soon.
However, at this time, the Qin Family sold the shares of the Chang 'an System to the Sixth Uncle.
Now, there were three guesses. One was that the Qin Family surrendered, the other was that the two sides reconciled, and the last one was that there was something else going on.
After leaving the Chang 'an System, the Qin Family completely walked out of this whirlpool. In the future, the trivial matters of the Chang' an System had nothing to do with the Qin Family. No matter how noisy the outside world was, the Qin Family could finally be free from all disturbances. Zhao Anzhi took Qin Ran and Qin Jing to Sanya for a vacation, but it would only take three or four days. After all, the Spring Festival was coming.
Originally, Qin Sheng thought that Aunt Qin was going to take her sister to meet Eldest Uncle. However, after thinking about it, Aunt Qin would not go to meet Eldest Uncle at this time. This meant that Aunt Qin had taken the initiative to reveal the trump card behind the Qin Family. After all, it was not the time to use Eldest Uncle yet.
Qin Sheng stayed in Beijing alone. In fact, there was nothing much to do. Except for some social activities, he stayed at home for the rest of the time, reading, swimming, and sometimes cooking. Uncle Gongsun, Hao Lei, Brother Wu, and Ba He often praised Qin Sheng's cooking. In two days, Brother Wu, Ba He, and Hao Lei would go home. At the end of the year, it was time for them to go home for the Spring Festival. After all, they had experienced so much this year, they should have a good rest.
Qin Sheng would definitely spend the Spring Festival in Beijing this year. His grandmother was in Beijing now, so he didn't have to go to Shanghai. He had just met Uncle Lin and Aunt Wang some time ago, so he didn't have to go to Xi 'an to pay them a New Year's call. However, he was engaged this year after all. At that time, he still had to pay a New Year's call to Song Ruyu's relatives. After he got married, this would become the norm.
On the second day after Qin Sheng's aunt and sister went to Sanya, it snowed in Beijing. Heavy snowflakes danced in the wind, turning Beijing into Beijing in an instant. It was said that many people went to the Forbidden City to join in the fun. Qin Sheng did not have such a good interest. He just sat on the balcony and stared blankly at the snowy scenery of the West Mountain. It was like a fairytale world wrapped in silver. It seemed that he had not gone skiing for a long time. If he had time recently, he would find a ski resort near Beijing to play.
For various sports, Qin Sheng seemed to have a natural ability. For example, it did not take him long to evolve from skiing to snowboarding. Snowboarding was the real competition of skills. Perhaps it was because he had an innate talent for controlling his body. Qin Sheng was almost self-taught in these aspects. It was just that he was still not as good as those masters.
It was already the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. In a few days, it would be the New Year. This year really went by quickly.
In the afternoon, Qin Sheng went to the hospital to visit his grandmother. Perhaps it was because it was going to be a holiday soon, everyone was free. His aunt and his two cousin-in-laws were in the hospital taking care of his grandmother. The children did not come, probably because they were afraid that they would be too noisy and disturb his grandmother's rest. In fact, Qin Sheng quite liked children, especially little girls. Every time he saw them, he would play for a while.
After Qin Sheng greeted his grandmother, aunt, and his two cousin-in-laws, he heard his grandmother ask, "Have you been to your Grandpa Song's place?"
"Yes, Grandpa Song is going home for the New Year tomorrow. How about you, Grandma?" Every time he came to the hospital, he would go to Old Master Song's place first. No matter what, Old Master Song was his grandfather now, so he had to visit him every time. Secondly, he could not chat with Old Master Song for too long, unlike with his grandmother, who could stay for a long time.
The old lady heard that Qin Sheng had gone to the hospital.
He nodded silently and then said, "Of course I'm going home for the New Year. Staying in this hospital is no fun at all. It's better to go home. This hospital is too quiet. I'm not so sick that I can't leave the hospital."
At this time, Wu Yajun said, "Your grandmother will be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, your two cousin-in-laws and I will bring some people to clean the house and buy some New Year's goods. The New Year will be lively."
Qin Sheng asked casually, "Aunt, will Uncle be at home on New Year's Eve this year?"
"Your uncle will go to the army on New Year's Eve this year, so he probably won't be able to celebrate the New Year with us. But your two cousins will come back. At that time, we will accompany your grandmother. You and Ran Ran can come here on New Year's Eve, and I will cook delicious food for you. Remember to bring Ruyu here. Our family has not been so lively for many years." Wu Yajun was very happy. In the past years, the old lady had been in Shanghai, so she could only go to Shanghai after New Year's Eve to see her. Zhu Weiguo, her husband, could occasionally spend the New Year with her and the children, but most of the time, he was the busiest.
After hearing Wu Yajun's arrangement, the old lady was a little dissatisfied. She said, "What are you talking about? Qin Sheng will definitely go to the Song family on New Year's Eve. We need to be polite and don't let the Song family have a problem with it."
Wu Yajun hurriedly said, "Mom, you're right. I didn't think it through."
Qin Sheng could only listen to his grandmother's arrangement. This year, he had to prepare a lot of gifts for the relatives of the Song family. Fortunately, Auntie Qin had always been a hands-off shopkeeper. It seemed that it was good to have several women in the family. Qin Sheng did not need to worry about many things.
In the evening, Qin Sheng went to pick up Song Ruyu from work, and then took her to eat hot pot. The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. Qin Sheng drove very carefully, not because he was bad at driving, but because he was afraid of encountering road killers.
After getting in the car, Qin Sheng took the initiative to warm his hands with Song Ruyu. Now that they were very close, these ambiguous actions were almost normal. Song Ruyu did not feel disgusted, on the contrary, she was very satisfied.
While eating, Qin Sheng asked casually, "When is your holiday?"
Song Ruyu said while putting food in Qin Sheng's bowl, "On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. It was supposed to be on the 29th, but I haven't had much rest recently, so the leader asked me to take the holiday in advance."
Qin Sheng continued to ask, "Will you go directly to your parents' place?"
Song Ruyu nodded and said, "It's the Spring Festival. Of course, I have to go back, or I would definitely call them. But I will spend New Year's Eve at grandpa's place."
"Well, that's OK. Recently, we have bought a lot of New Year's goods, some of which were given by others. I will send you back to your parents' place and get some New Year's goods for them." Qin Sheng made the arrangement. These were all things that Auntie Qin had told her to do. People were not afraid of trouble, because not many people would refuse, not to mention their relationship.
Song Ruyu did not say anything, but just nodded and agreed.
After dinner, Qin Sheng drove Song Ruyu home. It was still snowing heavily outside. The ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow, not to mention the surrounding trees. It seemed that a magician had activated ice and snow magic. There were also snow-shoveling vehicles working on the road. Otherwise, accidents could easily occur in such a weather.
Perhaps because he had nothing to do, Qin Sheng did not leave immediately after sending Song Ruyu home. Instead, he sat on the sofa, drinking tea and reading casually, while Song Ruyu cleaned up the house and did the laundry. This kind of feeling seemed to be quite warm, which reminded Qin Sheng of the days when he was with Lin Su. Thinking of Lin Su, Qin Sheng missed her a little. Life in a foreign country must be difficult.
Xue Qingyan had called Qin Sheng and told him about Lin Su's life in the United States. Other than the fact that she needed to adapt to the pace of life slowly, everything else was fine. Everything had been arranged. Anyway, Qin Sheng fully supported Lin Su. Even if Lin Su could not stay idle and wanted to do something, he would support her as always.
At 10 o 'clock, although the snow outside had not stopped, Qin Sheng was ready to go home. He got up and put on his coat.
He said to Song Ruyu, "It's late. I'm going home. You should rest early."
Song Ruyu looked at Qin Sheng and hesitated for a moment. "It's snowing heavily outside. Why don't you not go home? Anyway, Auntie and Sister are not at home."
This was the first time that Song Ruyu had taken the initiative to ask Qin Sheng to stay. Qin Sheng was very clear about what it meant for Song Ruyu. However, this was something that would happen sooner or later. Recently, Song Ruyu had been busy, so they did not have much time to contact each other. Now, Song Ruyu finally had some free time.
"Well, then I won't go home." Qin Sheng did not hesitate at all and directly agreed, for fear that Song Ruyu would change her mind and drive him away in the next second.
Song Ruyu could not help but laugh at Qin Sheng's behavior. She said angrily, "Can't you be more reserved?"
"I've always been thick-skinned," Qin Sheng said shamelessly.
Song Ruyu did not bother to pay attention to Qin Sheng. She said lightly, "I'm going to prepare pajamas and toiletries for you. Wait in the living room for a while."
While Song Ruyu was preparing these things, Qin Sheng called Chang Baji and asked them to go home directly. Chang Baji left without any hesitation. He was only responsible for protecting Qin Sheng and never cared about Qin Sheng's personal affairs. If Hao Lei had not left, he would definitely have complained about it.
Song Ruyu went to bed after taking a shower. Meanwhile, she asked Qin Sheng to take a shower. In fact, she was very embarrassed to face Qin Sheng like this, because this was the first time that they were really alone. After all, there were other people in the Lin Family last time. However, it was different this time. If Qin Sheng wanted something to happen, what should Song Ruyu do?
Song Ruyu lay on the bed and read a book absent-mindedly. She was only wearing pajamas. Just now, she asked Qin Sheng to stay because she was worried that Qin Sheng might have an accident on the way home due to the heavy snow outside. She had used all her courage to ask Qin Sheng to stay, but now she seemed to be a little worried.
However, since she had asked Qin Sheng to stay, of course, Song Ruyu could not regret it. Moreover, they had slept in the same bed. Song Ruyu could not let Qin Sheng sleep on the sofa. Although they had slept in the same bed, nothing had happened.
What about tonight?
When Qin Sheng came out of the shower, Song Ruyu still leaned against the headboard and read a book, as if she had not seen him. Qin Sheng went directly to bed and got under the quilt. However, he did not do anything out of line.
Song Ruyu was quietly looking at Qin Sheng. In fact, Qin Sheng knew what she was worried about, but he did not point it out.
After a while, Qin Sheng took the initiative to lean toward Song Ruyu. He held her in his arms and said, "Stop reading. Let's go to sleep."
"Okay." Song Ruyu put down the book. She did not refuse to be held by Qin Sheng, but her body was somewhat trembling.
Qin Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. After Song Ruyu turned off the light, the two of them lay down. Qin Sheng still held Song Ruyu in his arms and did not move. He was not excited and was very calm. After all, a gentleman should be magnanimous.
"Let's go to sleep." Qin Sheng gently kissed Song Ruyu on the cheek and lay down. It was impossible for Qin Sheng to not have any desire to hold such a great beauty in his arms. Moreover, this great beauty was his fiancée. If Qin Sheng really wanted to do something, there would be nothing wrong with it.
However, he knew that Song Ruyu was not ready yet, so he would not act impulsively. After all, he was not an animal that thought with the lower half of his body. Therefore, he tried his best to suppress his desire, just like last time.
Not long after, Qin Sheng fell asleep. He really fell asleep.
Where was Song Ruyu?
Her thoughts were in a mess. Naturally, she did not feel sleepy until she found that Qin Sheng had fallen asleep again.
Song Ruyu was really speechless. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. She seemed to be a little disappointed and a little dissatisfied with Qin Sheng.
However, after coming to herself, Song Ruyu turned around and took the initiative to hug Qin Sheng. She curled up in Qin Sheng's arms and enjoyed the warmth at this moment very much …
