Chapter 1555: Warm and Reassured

Qiaoqiao reached out her hand to hook around Qin Yize’s neck. They only parted when they were both breathless from the kiss. Under the slightly intoxicating night sky, Qin Yize’s eyes shone brilliantly. His voice was husky and carried a hint of charm, "Qiaoqiao, would you really let me worry?"

This sentence made Qiaoqiao instantly give up all resistance. She spoke weakly, "Alright then, I promise you, even if I go, I won’t get involved in this matter."

Qin Yize gazed deeply at Qiaoqiao until he realized she was telling the truth. He happily pressed a gentle kiss on Qiaoqiao’s lips, then turned over and hugged Qiaoqiao in his arms again, patting her back, "Qiaoqiao, it’s too late, let’s rest." He then shifted the topic, "If you’re not really tired, we could do something else..."

"I’m tired, and I’m exhausted." Qiaoqiao hastily spoke, and to prove she was indeed tired and exhausted, she promptly closed her eyes.

Looking at the little wife who suddenly quieted down in his arms, Qin Yize smiled helplessly. Although a bit disappointed, he knew Qiaoqiao would be really busy tomorrow.

Then Qin Yize also closed his eyes, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and a warm and reassuring aura instantly flowed around them. Shortly after, the two of them sank into dreams once more.

The following morning, Qiaoqiao got up early. After breakfast, Qin Yize drove her to Gu Garden. Because of the time, Qin Yize didn’t get out of the car but drove directly back to the base.

Sister Li and Lu Hao took the morning train. Initially, Qiaoqiao wanted everyone to meet at Gu Garden, but eventually, she set the location at the newly purchased beef noodle shop which was under renovation.

When Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen arrived, it was a little past seven in the morning. The sun was already shining overhead, and the morning sunlight enveloped the earth. The beef noodle shop was being refurbished, but the workers hadn’t started yet. However, the backyard had been tidied up.

It was Qiaoqiao’s first time here and she found it very well-organized, clean, and suitable for Sister Li to live in.

Only from Xiao Wen did she learn that it was Mu Xinxin who helped tidy up the place.

There was no denying that the power of love is truly great. Even Mu Xinxin, who had never done housework, was doing things like this.

Xiao Wen was quite satisfied with the place too and remarked that Chu Chengfeng was becoming more and more steady and reliable.

So, as usual, Xiao Wen didn’t hesitate to praise Chu Chengfeng in front of Qiaoqiao.

Qiaoqiao didn’t tease Xiao Wen either. After so many years, it was rare for this pampered lady to meet a man she found more pleasing and likable the more she saw him, so of course, she wanted to get along well with him.

After all, Qiaoqiao knew that Sister Xiao Wen was actually a very restless person.

She could quickly pick up things and just as quickly let them go.

She never hesitated or vacillated.

Qiaoqiao felt relieved that she could be this way.

After all, Chu Chengfeng was also a good person. Qiaoqiao didn’t want him to be heartbroken.

Moreover, given their relationship, how would they get along if they turned against each other over this?

This was the reason why Qiaoqiao was initially not optimistic about Chu Chengfeng and Xiao Wen’s relationship.

It seems like she can put this concern to rest recently.

And of course, Chu Chengfeng didn’t disappoint Qiaoqiao. The frivolous young man she first knew had already shed that layer of carelessness and was becoming more responsible.

This small courtyard had three rooms, more than enough for Sister Li to live alone. Qiaoqiao also cared about Sister Li’s mental state because she knew some women could be very stubborn. Even if a man wasn’t good to her at all, she wouldn’t let go and might remember him for a lifetime.

There’s no way around it; sometimes women are just such emotional and tender creatures.

At this moment, Mu Xinxin’s voice echoed in the yard, "Qiaoqiao, Sister Xiao Wen, are you inside?"

Qiaoqiao conveniently pushed open the window and looked at Mu Xinxin standing in the yard, jokingly saying, "Did you skip class to be here?"

Mu Xinxin’s face turned red, and she softly explained, "I didn’t skip class. I took a leave of absence from the teacher. We are nearing graduation, everyone is awaiting job assignments, and we are in the internship period, so the teacher doesn’t mind."

Qiaoqiao couldn’t help but chuckle.

Xiao Wen waved her over, "Come on in, Qiaoqiao was just teasing you."

Mu Xinxin walked in briskly, glancing at the room’s decor, which she had arranged herself.

It appeared elegant and tasteful while also considering Sister Li’s comfort by not using expensive décor to avoid making her feel uneasy; it was all ordinary things she took great care with.

Having set it up, she had always wanted Qiaoqiao and Sister Xiao Wen to take a look, but these two have been busy. At this moment, Mu Xinxin blinked her sparkling eyes, eagerly asking, "Qiaoqiao, Sister Xiao Wen, how do you think of this room? Will Sister Li like it?"

Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen exchanged a glance, and Qiaoqiao laughed, teasing, "Are you actually asking if Lu Hao would be satisfied?"

"Oh, what are you two talking about? It’s Sister Li living here, what’s it to do with him?"

Mu Xinxin blushed as she argued.

"Sima Zhao’s intentions are known to all, no need to deny it. But what’s the big deal? Xinxin, you’ve done a good job with the decor. I’m sure Sister Li is satisfied, and I believe Lu Hao would be even more so."

Xiao Wen spoke quickly.

Hearing Xiao Wen’s praise, Mu Xinxin beamed with happiness, while Qiaoqiao’s eyes flickered slightly. She hadn’t intended to ask, not wanting to disturb the happy atmosphere, but since she was already involved, she had to take a hand in some things, "Xinxin, you’re about to start working soon. Your family will surely put the matter of your lifelong happiness on the agenda. Does your family know about you and Lu Hao?"

Whether the Mu Family agrees or not, they need to know Lu Hao exists.

This is also a form of respect for Lu Hao.

After all, Lu Hao is now someone deserving of a good girl’s affection.

And frankly, setting aside his family issues, Lu Hao would not have a problem finding a partner.

Moreover, his family problems are now resolved and no longer a barrier to his future.

Naturally, such matters as marriage should come to the forefront.

Upon hearing Qiaoqiao’s question, Mu Xinxin was momentarily stunned. She bit her lip and, after a moment, said, "I haven’t told my family yet..."

"Why not? Haven’t you been together for almost a year?" Xiao Wen was curious, peering at Mu Xinxin skeptically as she pondered, "Xinxin, could it be that you’re worried they wouldn’t approve?"
