Because it was winter vacation, Xiao Qi used this excuse to move back home. Although her mother nagged all day, she would rather stay at home.
She went out with her former classmates and ate, drank, and had fun every day. Soon, it was New Year's Eve. Today, she was ordered by her mother not to go out and could only stay at home. Little Seven hugged her pillow and sighed. She felt that it was so boring at home. Although it was New Year's Eve, everyone was busy with the festival and no one paid attention to her.
"Xiao Qi, why haven't you changed your clothes? A girl is walking around in her pajamas.”When Mother Qin saw her like this, she wanted to nag," Hurry up and change. It's New Year's Eve today. Wait for Yanbin and the others to come over."”After saying that, he went to get busy.
She knew that they would come. They didn't even let her off during the holidays. Sigh…
"Young miss, let me help you pick out some clothes. I promise to dress you up beautifully.”Ah Xiang, the maid who served Little Seven, saw that she was unhappy and wanted to find something to make her happy.
"No need. Why are you wearing such beautiful clothes? It's not like you're selling yourself.”Although it was almost time.
" But Young Miss, it's New Year's Eve, and Madam will scold you again," Ah Xiang said kindly." Also, shouldn't Young Miss be happy when the son-in-law comes?"”
When Xiao Qi heard her say " son-in-law ", he finally moved and turned over." Ah Xiang, why do I have to be happy when he comes?”
"Because he's Miss 'fiancé, her future husband. Moreover, didn't the young miss like the young master since she was young? "Eldest son-in-law is so handsome…" She actually became infatuated with him.
"Do you like him?" Little Seven stood up and asked with a smile as she put her hand on Ah Xiang's shoulder.
"No, no, I definitely didn't. That's my son-in-law.”Ah Xiang quickly explained when she saw that she had misunderstood.
"Don't call me son-in-law. I'm not married yet.”Little Seven wanted to tease her, but he suddenly felt a little irritated when he heard her like this.
"Miss, are you angry?" Ah Xiang asked carefully. They had grown up together, so she knew the Eldest Miss 'temper very well. She knew that she was angry just by looking at her tone.
" No…" Little Seven walked back to her room expressionlessly. What lousy New Year's Eve? It was so annoying. She still had to see the person she didn't want to see. Little Seven was frustrated at the thought of this.
When Ah Xiang saw that the young miss was throwing a tantrum, she would treat it as if she had not seen her son-in-law in a long time and was in love because she missed him too much.
At two in the afternoon, they arrived. However, it was the Xu couple. Xu Yanbin did not come.
"He suddenly ran into some trouble at the company. He rushed to the company and will come back later.”Mother Xu held Little Seven's hand and explained.
"Men put their careers first. It's fine.”Mother Qin replied indifferently.
Little Seven smiled, but she felt a little disappointed. She hadn't seen him for a month…Why did she feel disappointed when she clearly didn't want to see him?
Little Seven listened to their conversation in boredom. Ever since he heard that he was going back to the company to work overtime, he felt very bored.
"Little Qi, why don't you go back to Yanbin's place during winter break? Don't you know that he comes back to my place to eat almost every day when you're not there? I've never seen him come back so often in the past.”Mrs. Qin said when she saw that she was absent-minded.
Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. When she stayed at his place, they didn't really eat together. He was busy every day. Sometimes, when she went back, she didn't even see him. She could only hear the sound of him opening the door when she was sleeping.
"Auntie, I miss Dad and Mom too much. Besides, his place isn't far from my house.”Little Seven acted coquettishly towards Mother Xu.
"You already know how to say it. It doesn't matter where you live. Why don't you just stay at his place?”Mother Xu liked this daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart. She was afraid that she would be kidnapped at any moment.
"He has to work when I stay at his place. I don't have anyone to accompany me. It's very boring to be alone.”Staying alone in such a big house would suffocate him.
"That's true. Sigh…why is that child so passionate about his career? It's not like the company can't do without him.”Sometimes, Mother Xu also felt sorry for her son.
"As a man, you should do a good job now. If you don't do a good job now that you're young, how are you going to support your family?”Father Xu felt that men should be like this.
"But he's too busy. He has to go to work on Chu Xi. If he doesn't take good care of a good wife like Xiao Qi, he might find someone else.”
Looking at Mother Xu's gaze, Little Seven felt like a piece of pork belly.
"If she dares to run away with someone, I won't acknowledge her as my daughter.”Mrs. Qin slammed the table and almost raised her hand to swear.
"Mom, do you dislike your daughter that much? Is there a mother like you? Are they really your biological children?" Little Seven said angrily.
"You know if he's your biological son or not. You've been asking this question since you were young, and you still don't know the answer?”Mrs. Qin said as she glanced at her.
Little Seven was furious. Why did his mother always turn to outsiders? What was so good about him that she kept talking about him? He felt that even if he had to give himself to his mother, she would still let him marry her. What was so good about him that she had to like him?
The others laughed happily, except for Little Seven who was fuming.
After dinner, everyone watched TV together, chatting and laughing. It was very lively.
Little Seven looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock. Why wasn't he back yet? He was munching on melon seeds while paying attention to the movements outside the house.
Suddenly, she heard the door open. She knew that he was here. She suddenly picked up the pile of snacks on the table, placed her legs on the sofa, and curled them up. She tried her best to look as if she was very busy and happy.
"Master and Madam, the son-in-law is here.”The butler came in and said to them.
"I'm finally back." Mrs. Qin immediately stood up and prepared to go outside to welcome him. At this moment, he was shocked. Chen walked in.
" Auntie, Uncle, Dad, Mom." He glanced at Xiao Qi and hugged Mrs. Qin." Happy New Year."”
Little Seven didn't care about how happy they were. He grabbed the potato chips and put them into his mouth as he stared at the television.
" You must be hungry. I'll ask the kitchen to heat up some food for you," Mother Qin said to Yan Bin with a smile. Then, she turned around and called out to Little Seven," Little Seven, come here."”
Little Seven looked at her mother's face and her expression changed quickly." What are you doing?”
"I'll ask the kitchen to heat up the dishes for Yanbin. You sit at the dining table and eat with him.”After saying that, Mother Qin smiled and asked Yan Bin about his well-being.
Little Seven shouted angrily," I've already eaten just now. Why should I eat with him?”What kind of person was she?
"Because he's your future husband." Mrs. Qin ignored her screams and went to instruct the kitchen to heat up the dishes.
Little Seven was getting more and more impressed by her mother's language skills.
"Little Seven, since you don't like to listen to the four of us adults talking, just accompany him to eat.”Mother Xu spoke, so Little Seven had no choice but to stand up and walk around him to the dining table.
Yan Bin pinched his brows and turned around to follow her with a tired expression.
He didn't feel tired after doing so many things in the company, but when he faced her, he felt a sense of exhaustion that he had never felt before. Now, even he did not know how to deal with the estrangement between the two of them. Every time he faced her, she was like this. What happened to them? Why did they become like this?
Xiao Qi walked to the dining table and sat down. She crossed her legs and took out her phone to play without looking at him.
Yan Bin sat down as well, holding his forehead and looking at her helplessly. In the past, when they were together, she would chatter non-stop. Now, as long as the two of them were together, they would be silent.
This silence lasted until the servants brought the dishes over. Then, Mother Qin walked over and said to Yanbin with a fawning look," Eat more. You must be very hungry. You work so hard, so you don't have to think so much at home. Have a good rest."”
"I will, Auntie." Yan Bin nodded slightly.
"Then eat slowly. I'll go talk to your parents.”With that, he turned around and left. When he left, he took Little Seven's phone with him.
"Mom!" Little Seven stomped her feet in anger.
"Accompany Yanbin for dinner." He left without looking back.
Little Seven was speechless. She turned around and glared at Yan Bin. It was all his fault. Every time he came to her house, she was like a child that was picked up and despised.
Yan Bin ignored her angry glare and elegantly picked up his chopsticks to eat.
She was already full and had to sit with others, but she didn't want to talk to him. She could only lie on the table and look at the lights outside the window in boredom. What a happy New Year's Eve.
Yan Bin looked at her aggrieved face and a certain part of his heart softened.
"Today is New Year's Eve. Come, smile for me.”Yan Bin teased her.
"So I'm an escort? Do I have to laugh with you when I'm eating?" Little Seven rolled her eyes.
"Where's the other one? Aren't you an escort?" Yan Bin saw that she was in such a good mood to bicker with her.
Little Seven looked at him. She looked away uncomfortably." I'm not really an escort. You're thinking too much."”
Yan Bin laughed out loud, and Little Seven slammed the table in embarrassment." Don't laugh!”
Yan Bin ignored her fierce expression and ate happily.
Little Seven stood up angrily." You can laugh as much as you want. I'm not eating with you anymore."”He turned around and left.
Her hand was grabbed. She turned around and looked at her hand." What are you doing?”
"Don't go. I want you to eat with me.”After saying that, he looked at her gently.
Little Seven was most afraid of this expression of his. She could not resist it every time. She sat down and calmed her heartbeat.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yan Bin revealed a smile. She could not defeat Qin Xiaoqi.
