The news that Cheng Su got accepted into university spread fast, and as she had promised before, she bought two big bags full of various candies, distributing them to everyone she met in the compound, and took another bag to different businesses to spread the joy.
She didnāt forget to call home to share the good news, but Cheng Su thought there was no need to make a big deal out of it to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Her family was the happiest, especially Mother Cheng, who felt vindicated. Years ago, Cheng Su fought for Qi Taiguo and would get angry if any female came near him, earning a bad reputation. Moreover, she was always told Cheng Su wasnāt good enough for Qi Taiguo. Now that she got into university, a legit college student, making money from her business, she was more than good enough!
Unfortunately, her daughter wonāt allow her to spread the news, fearing people might follow up with requests and bother her. Father Cheng also didnāt let her boast, so they simply closed the door and celebrated quietly as a family.
As for the Qi family, Father Qi was also very happy, and Qi Jianguo was too; having a sister-in-law in college puts on a good show.
The only ones not happy were Mother Qi and Qi Fengping.
"Hmph, her head will probably get even higher now. My brother will spoil her to heaven!" said Qi Fengping.
Mother Qi thought having a daughter-in-law as a college student meant sheād care even less about her opinions. Hearing Qi Fengpingās words didnāt make her smile at all.
Father Qi didnāt care about her stubborn unpleasantness and only instructed Qi Jianguo, "From now on, consult your sister-in-law more often; sheās the first in the Qi family to attend university!"
"Yes!"
...
University registration was set for the end of August, and when Cheng Su was applying, she chose Guicheng College, the closest to home, for convenience in caring for her family. Although itās called Guicheng, itās actually in Qing City, located in the eastern part, quite far away. Taking the shuttle bus takes an hour and a half.
With about two months left until registration, thereās no rush to start college yet. Right now, thereās something more urgentāthe competition.
With only two days left before the competition, Qing City is not close by train, and registration is required. So, they must arrive in Qing City by the 27th to register.
The factory was extremely busy preparing to book train tickets and organizing travel essentials, especially auxiliary materials, which couldnāt be missing, along with various company documents, factory uniforms, and more.
Time was too tight, and Cheng Su didnāt have any extra time to enjoy the university acceptance celebration, focusing solely on preparing for the competition.
"Iām leaving for the competition in Qing City tomorrow; Iāll probably be back on the 29th or 30th. Youāre scheduled to leave on the first, right?" Cheng Su asked Qi Taiguo while packing her luggage.
"Yes."
"Thatās perfect; Iāll be back in time to take you." Cheng Su said.
"Honestly, the timing is too tight; you just had to lead the team to compete now when I want to spend more days with you!" Qi Taiguo complained sincerely.
Cheng Su chuckled, walked over, and sat on his lap, asking, "You canāt bear to part with me?"
Qi Taiguo immediately embraced her, taking in the fragrance from her neck, saying, "Yes, I canāt bear to!"
How could he bear it, thinking about not seeing her, without news for three months, his heart felt clawed at like a cat, both painful and itchy.
"I canāt bear to part with you either." Cheng Su pouted.
Qi Taiguo then picked her up and brought her to the bed, saying, "I have to integrate you into my soul first!"
Cheng Su giggled sweetly, with a leg wrapped around his waist, lightly biting her lip, her enchanting demeanor making Qi Taiguoās eyes redden as he pounced...
