Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Switching Cars
He Qi’an said from the side, "Don’t worry, while you’re away, I’ll check on the shop every day. If something comes up, they can just go to the police station and call for someone."
Hearing this, Lin Hao felt even more relieved.
Lin Xiaoyan also smiled and said okay.
"Tomorrow I’ll go buy some New Year’s goods and bring them back when we leave."
Lin Hao: "Alright, don’t buy too much. I guess mom and dad have already prepared stuff at home."
Lin Xiaoyan: "Got it."
As they ate and chatted, He Qi’an occasionally chimed in with a word or two, while Nan Xi remained silent. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
After the meal, Lin Hao waited for He Qi’an to finish washing the dishes before leaving together.
He Qi’an quickly tidied up the kitchen and left with his brother-in-law.
However...
"You... you live here!!!"
Lin Hao looked shocked as he watched He Qi’an take out a key and prepare to open the door. He looked at his sister, then at He Qi’an who was living right across from her.
Lin Xiaoyan’s face blushed slightly; she seemed to have forgotten to mention to her brother that He Qi’an lived opposite her...
He Qi’an looked at his brother-in-law with a smile, "Yes, Brother Hao, I live here. What a coincidence, living right opposite Yanyan, hahaha..."
Lin Hao’s face darkened as he looked at his sister, "Yanyan, why didn’t you tell me you lived across from him?"
Lin Xiaoyan shrunk her head, "I forgot."
Lin Hao: ....
He took a deep breath, glanced at the two neighboring doors, and couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
But since He Qi’an was there, he didn’t say anything; he just left with a somewhat unhappy expression.
Seeing her brother leave, Lin Xiaoyan glared at the smug He Qi’an.
He Qi’an walked over and hugged Lin Xiaoyan, "What’s wrong? Are you mad at me? I didn’t do anything."
"Yes, yes, you didn’t do anything. Now that my brother knows you live across from me, he probably won’t be able to sleep at night." Lin Xiaoyan said helplessly.
She could already imagine what her brother would call and say to her.
He Qi’an looked very aggrieved, "I wouldn’t do anything inappropriate. I’m a good young man!"
Lin Xiaoyan burst into laughter, "Yes, not only are you a good young man, but you’re an excellent young man in every aspect."
He Qi’an looked proudly at his girlfriend, "I didn’t know you thought so highly of me."
Lin Xiaoyan gently patted his chest. However, it felt solid, and she couldn’t resist squeezing it again.
"Yanyan..."
He Qi’an looked down at the mischievous hand on his body, and when Lin Xiaoyan heard him call her, she immediately withdrew her hand.
"Uh, I’m going to bed now, bye-bye!"
Lin Xiaoyan quickly turned around and left.
He Qi’an quickly grabbed the escaping person, "Grandpa asked me when we would visit your parents, uncle and aunt."
Lin Xiaoyan: !!
"Wh-what?!"
"Grandpa wants to meet your uncle and aunt. I’m dating you with marriage in mind!"
He Qi’an looked deeply at his girlfriend, "What do you think?"
"Isn’t this... too fast?"
Lin Xiaoyan calculated the time, they had only known each other for five months, and it was even less time since they officially got together...
He Qi’an hugged his dazed girlfriend, "I don’t think it’s fast at all, I even feel it’s too slow. I want to marry you."
Lin Xiaoyan didn’t know what to say, she really felt it was a bit fast, a bit rushed.
Besides, his mother’s attitude... might oppose their marriage.
In the end, Lin Xiaoyan said she would consider it when she went back.
The next morning, after finishing their morning exercises, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi prepared to drive out to buy New Year’s goods.
But when they looked at the car filled with the stuff they bought yesterday, they were silent.
How do we drive this?
"Beep beep"
Suddenly, there was a honk from the car next to them.
"Yanyan, what’s up?"
He Qi’an, from a distance, saw the two standing by the car, not getting in, just staring blankly at the car, thinking something happened.
Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up as she looked at He Qi’an’s car, and she ran over.
"Let’s switch cars today!"
He Qi’an: "What happened? Is your car broken?"
He got out of the car and handed the keys to his girlfriend.
"No, I’m going to buy New Year’s goods, but I forgot about the stuff in the car from yesterday. Are you using the car today?"
He Qi’an glanced at Lin Xiaoyan’s little mini car, crammed with all sorts of things, and he praised, "You’re quite a boss!"
Lin Xiaoyan proudly replied, "Of course, I’m not the kind of boss who exploits employees!"
He Qi’an extended his hand, "Where are the keys? I’ll drive this to the police station, and you guys can switch cars in the afternoon."
Lin Xiaoyan happily took the car keys from Nan Xi and handed them to her boyfriend, "Thank you, muah!"
Receiving a kiss from his girlfriend, He Qi’an drove away to work with a big smile.
Lin Xiaoyan gave the car keys to Nan Xi, "Sister Nan, let’s go shopping!"
Nan Xi smiled and took the car keys, "Okay."
"Let’s buy clothes first, then New Year’s goods..."
Meanwhile, it was just office hours, and people at the police station were surprised to see Captain He driving a little mini car to work.
This mini car was obviously Xiao Lin’s car, as they had seen it before.
"Yo, Captain He, driving your girlfriend’s car today?" Mao Hong parked her electric scooter and came over, seeing Captain He getting out of the car.
He Qi’an nodded, "Yeah, we switched cars today."
Mao Hong: "Oh oh, is Xiao Lin living with you?"
The others slowed their steps, listening intently.
"No, but we live across from each other."
Everyone: !!!
Convenient proximity!
Mao Hong: "Oh~~~"
He Qi’an ignored the gossiping looks from everyone, maintaining a cold expression as he walked to his office.
Mao Hong watched Captain He leave and quickly ran to the entrance to look at the milk tea shop opposite, finding it already open, but Captain He’s car wasn’t there.
There was only a familiar little electric scooter, which must have been driven there by Xiao Lin’s brother.
"Sister Hong, what are you looking at?"
Someone came over, looking at the shop opposite.
"Shh, I’m thinking about why Xiao Lin and them switched cars today!"
"What’s the big deal? Probably because Captain He’s car is broken, so he took Xiao Lin’s car."
After hearing this, Mao Hong thought it was quite possible.
"Ah, I haven’t received any call from Xiao Lin... Oops, saying this makes it sound like I want a case to happen."
Mao Hong patted her mouth, continuing, "I haven’t seen Xiao Lin in a long time, I miss her."
Suddenly, a voice came from the entrance, "Hey, you’re going to be late in a minute, have you clocked in?"
Mao Hong and another colleague rushed to the punch card machine.
Luckily, they clocked in successfully at the last second.
The two glanced at each other and smiled, returning to their workstations.
Lin Xiaoyan had meanwhile arrived at the mall with Nan Xi, ready for a big shopping spree today.
"Sister Nan, what kind of clothes do you want to buy?
It’s colder in my hometown than here in Sea City. Should we get some big coats to wear?"
