CH 11

Chapter 11: Girl, who are you? My son has a great taste!

Upon hearing Qi Yun’s words, Lian Qingxue felt a slight sense of disappointment deep within her. Wasn’t it good to pledge oneself to another? She pouted a little while Qi Yun wasn’t looking.

“I don’t even know what I can do in the future. Maybe I really can’t pay back the money,” Lian Qingxue said quietly.

“You don’t understand. No one believes in you more than I do!” Qi Yun assured with confidence.

“Hmph!” Lian Qingxue just huffed lightly, choosing not to speak anymore.

She wasn’t sure if that’s what she wanted to hear.

“By the way, you obviously have a great figure, so why did you…” Qi Yun curiously asked.

Feeling her face heat up in the dark, Lian Qingxue explained, “I developed earlier than others, and I’m quite…large. So, people in class would laugh at me, and I started to slouch.”

“What a waste!” Qi Yun exclaimed in surprise.

His comment left Lian Qingxue feeling unstable as they walked.

After a while, Qi Yun heard her whisper, “Do you like seeing it?”

“Um!” he answered.

Lian Qingxue didn’t say anything more, probably choosing to ignore Qi Yun’s honest response.

When they arrived at the orphanage, Lian Qingxue stood at the gate, halted her steps, and suddenly turned to look up at Qi Yun.

The moonlight fell on her face, and her eyes seemed to be filled with a thousand words.

“Hmm?” Qi Yun asked, puzzled.

“Then I will allow you to see a little bit in the future, just a little bit,” Lian Qingxue said quickly and quietly. She held out her right hand, forming a tiny gap with her thumb and index finger to show just how little she meant.

By the time Qi Yun understood what Lian Qingxue was saying, she had already exhausted all her courage and darted into the orphanage.

…

The next day at noon, Lian Qingxue knocked on Qi Yun’s front door.

“Who is it?” Qi Yun’s mother, who was in the living room, opened the door and saw Lian Qingxue standing there.

“Girl, who are you looking for?” she asked.

Lian Qingxue looked entirely different from yesterday. She was wearing the clothes Qi Yun had bought for her, a white shirt inside, and a fitted pink down jacket on the outside. Her beautiful figure was undoubtedly apparent.

Upon a little grooming, her astonishing beauty was utterly undeniable. This left Qi Yun’s mother completely unrecognizing her.

“Who’s there?” Qi Yun’s father also came out from the room and asked his wife.

“I don’t know, it’s a young girl! Maybe she’s here to see Qi Yun!” Upon saying this, Qi Yun’s mother took a closer look at Lian Qingxue. She suddenly felt a little guilty and her mind started racing.

Just yesterday, her son had brought home a girl. And today, another beautiful girl was knocking at their door. How many girls had her son attracted? Had her boy, whom she had watched grow up, become a playboy?

Looking at the pretty and humble Lian Qingxue yesterday and then at the unspeakably beautiful girl in front of her today, she wondered which one she should choose as her daughter-in-law. Both seemed wonderful. It was a tough choice. Being a mother was so hard, she thought!

At this moment, Lian Qingxue spoke, “Auntie, it ‘s me… I came over yesterday.”

“Ah? It’s you, Qingxue! Look at you, all dressed up, I couldn’t even recognize you!” Qi Yun’s mother was absolutely delighted to hear this.

The good-natured daughter-in-law.

The beautiful daughter-in-law.

Suddenly, they seemed to have merged into one!

She wondered if there could really be such good fortune in this world. All these benefits were pouring onto her family!

Seeing Lian Qingxue again, Qi Yun’s mother couldn’t hide her affection. She had fallen in love with Lian Qingxue’s personality yesterday, and now seeing her impeccable appearance, in her eyes, Lian Qingxue was already half a family member.

She was clearly the perfect match for her son!

“Are you looking for Qi Yun? He’s in his room. Please come in, make yourself at home,” she warmly led Lian Qingxue to Qi Yun’s bedroom door.

After a pause, she said, “I won’t disturb you two today. Do whatever you want, I won’t enter!” She was determined not to repeat yesterday’s mistake of walking in on them.

At her words, Lian Qingxue’s face turned bright red, and she quickly scurried into the room.

…

It was only after Lian Qingxue entered the room that Qi Yun’s mother turned to Qi Yun’s father and sighed, “Our son has really good taste! How did I not see yesterday that Qingxue is such an extraordinary girl?”

Qi Yun’s father also nodded in agreement, “Yes, I didn’t see it either. His taste is indeed better than mine.”

“Um… What?” Qi Yun’s mother gave her husband a sidelong glance, “Are you saying you made a mistake choosing me?”

Qi Yun’s father: “…Danger!”

…

When Qi Yun saw Lian Qingxue entering his room, she was holding a small cloth bag.

“What did you bring?” he asked.

Feeling a bit shy, Lian Qingxue tightened her grip on the bag, “You bought me so many things, I thought… I should give you a gift.”
