Chapter 2201: Chapter 5: I Haven’t Congratulated Him Yet
Qingqing blinked her eyes.
A gentle smile appeared on her exquisite face as her gaze swept over the hand Shi Xi extended.
Her gaze stopped at Shi Xi’s smiling face.
She raised her hand, and just when Shi Xi thought she was going to shake her hand, Qingqing’s slender, fair hand directly passed over Shi Xi’s hand, brushing away the stray hair on her forehead, “I have an urgent matter, I’ll come back later to listen to Miss Shi’s introduction.”
After speaking, she quickly walked away.
Shi Xi’s face immediately changed.
Watching Qingqing’s rapidly departing figure, her hand slowly curled into a fist.
In the office.
Qin Mu used his eyes to ask Mo Ziye, the latter’s eyes flashed with a hint of light, stood up and said, “Uncle Qin, my parents are returning home at six this afternoon, why don’t you come to our house for dinner tonight?”
“No, Qingqing just returned, I want to spend time with her.”
Qin Mu really didn’t know this kid Ziye had a girlfriend.
If he knew, he might not have transferred the shares to Qingqing.
The sound of high heels came from the doorway, followed by a splash of red in their vision.
“Ziye, I don’t have any engagements today, let’s have lunch together.” Shi Xi’s gentle voice echoed in the office.
Her beautiful eyes looked affectionately at Mo Ziye’s handsome eyebrows, only noticing Qin Mu beside him after she spoke.
She flashed a polite smile, “Ziye, who is this?”
“You go to the resting room next door and wait for me.”
Mo Ziye softly stopped Shi Xi from greeting Qin Mu, glancing at the doorway at Zhang Minghui.
The latter immediately came in and invited Shi Xi to go to the resting room next door.
Shi Xi didn’t mind, gently smiled at him, “Then I’ll wait next door for you, by the way, was that the Miss Qin who grew up with you I saw just now? It’s my first time meeting her, let’s invite her for lunch.”
“Ziye, Qingqing is not free at noon. You carry on, I’ll take Qingqing home first.”
Qin Mu directly dispelled the idea of inviting Qingqing for lunch. After speaking, he didn’t look at Mo Ziye and Shi Xi again.
Turning around, he walked away with big steps.
——
In the noon, Qingqing and her father Qin Mu cooked lunch together.
In the afternoon, she accompanied Qin Mu to water all the flowers in the garden, and then sat in the yard drinking tea, telling him about her four years abroad.
Unknowingly, dusk drew near.
“Dad, let me get you a jacket inside, it’s getting colder now.”
Although the weather is clear, it’s the season with large temperature differences between day and night, Qingqing was worried about her father who was only wearing a shirt.
Upon hearing him cough, she immediately stood up.
Qin Mu nodded with a smile, “Alright, go ahead.”
He was indeed feeling a bit chilly.
In these years, his health seems to have gotten worse each year.
Qingqing smiled at him and jogged into the living room.
Five minutes later, Qingqing came out with a jacket, finding two more people in the garden.
A few meters away, she immediately recognized the two people talking with her father in the garden, as Mo Ziye mentioned earlier, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.
“Qingqing.”
Wen Ran called her first.
Seeing the gentle, loving expression in the other’s eyes, Qingqing felt her nose sting and tightened her lips unconsciously.
Wen Ran quickly walked over, took her small hand, gently saying, “Qingqing, I haven’t seen you in four years, you’ve grown up and become even more beautiful than before.”
“Aunt Wen… Uncle Mo…”
Qingqing was led over by Wen Ran, smiling as she greeted Mo Xiuchen.
No matter her current relationship with Mo Ziye.
Her feelings towards Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran as her elders remained unchanged.
Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran had just arrived back from their flight, hadn’t even entered their home yet.
After exchanging a few words, Wen Ran said to Qingqing, “Come to our house for dinner tonight with your dad, not many people know about your return yet, it’s a good opportunity to gather together.”
“Alright.”
Qingqing agreed with a smile.
——
Qingqing entered the Mo Family Villa, arm in arm with her father Qin Mu, shocking a group of people.
As Wen Ran mentioned, not many people were aware of her return.
The first to rush towards her was Bai Qingling.
“Qingqing, when did you come back, why didn’t you tell us?”
Following behind her, Momo also looked at Qingqing happily, “Qingqing, welcome home.”
“Qingqing, I’ll greet your uncles, you young folks chat.”
Qin Mu said with a smile, nodded at several young ladies in front of him, leaving time for their conversation.
Qingqing had grown up in the Mo family.
Hearing Momo’s “welcome home”, her heartbeat suddenly paused.
On the calm surface of her heart, a storm suddenly arose, causing waves to surge.
“Sister Momo, Qingling.”
She pursed her lips, composed her emotions and greeted them with a smile.
“I heard from my dad at noon, I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t expect you really came back. Qingqing, are you staying for good this time?”
Bai Qingling smiled, pulling Qingqing’s hand.
Although Qingqing grew up beside Mo Ziye and was closest to Mo Ziye.
They all had good relationships before.
In G City, no one was unaware of the closeness of the Gu, Qin, Wen, Mo, and Luo families living in this villa community.
These younger generations, in their childhood were like siblings, loving and supporting each other.
However, as they grew up, many things slowly changed.
Since four years ago…
Qingqing was led by Bai Qingling and Momo to greet others.
There were elders and peers.
No matter how they argued, how they misunderstood, the friendship between those elders remained unchanged.
Listening to the caring words, Qingqing couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her heart.
This was a feeling she hadn’t experienced in the four years abroad.
However, Qingqing’s warmth was quickly scattered by someone’s call, “Ziye is back.”
She didn’t turn around.
Her heart didn’t have too many fluctuations.
Before returning, she had already mentally prepared, knowing it’s unavoidable.
Taking a deep breath, she heard Momo’s voice beside her, “Qingqing, if you don’t want to see him, come inside with me, I still have things to discuss with you.”
Momo’s gaze moved from Mo Ziye and the woman named Shi Xi in the distance.
Her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
She didn’t know what Ziye wanted to do.
Qingqing walked away for four years, he didn’t have a girlfriend.
Qingqing returned yesterday, and today he’s paired with Shi Xi.
Qingqing’s face showed a hint of a smile, saying softly, “Sister Momo, Brother Ziye has a girlfriend, I haven’t congratulated him yet.”
Even without turning around.
She heard someone behind greet Mo Ziye.
Knowing he didn’t come alone but brought a companion.
After speaking, Qingqing turned her head to look at the handsome couple a few meters away coming towards them.
