Plans cannot keep up with changes. Due to an accident, Qin Mingyuan's originally planned sweet date for two on New Year's Day is likely to be ruined, because Zeng Lianyi and Qin Pei returned without saying a word two days before New Year's Day.
When he received the call, the two people had already taken a taxi and were on their way to his company. This time they didn't even tell Zhou Yang, and the confidentiality work was done very well.
The reason why they called him on the way instead of coming to the company directly was that they were afraid that their workaholic son was too busy to entertain them, so they asked in advance.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Mingyuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and he could not resist it, so he had to inform Zhou Yang to come down and pick them up later.
There was no traffic jam on the road, so they arrived quickly. Zeng Lianyi was as enthusiastic as ever, overwhelming everyone, and she first gave her baby son a big hug.
Zhou Yang, who had not yet had time to go out, smiled secretly and left quickly before his boss noticed, closing the door behind him.
"Why didn't you call me in advance? I didn't have time to pick you up." Qin Mingyuan only spoke after he let go of the man after hugging him enough.
"I told you in advance there would be no surprise." Zeng Lianyi stretched out her hand to pinch his face, but her aloof son dodged her. She pouted in dissatisfaction.
Qin Mingyuan invited them to sit on the sofa and said, "Didn't you say before that the work over there could be arranged at least until the end of the year? Why are you back now?"
When he mentioned this, Zeng Lianyi's brows knitted together, "I was talking about this. I saw something about the Yun family on the Internet. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep. They are a family of scum, and Xiao Pei..."
She paused here, with some worry in her eyes, "How is he? Was he injured before? And what about his family? Is he in a bad mood?"
"Didn't you exchange contact information? If you care so much about him, why don't you ask him in person?" Qin Mingyuan raised his eyebrows.
"I was afraid of hurting him," Zeng Lianyi hesitated several times, but finally pretended not to know for the time being, and hurried back after finishing her work over there. "Besides, we are outsiders anyway, and it's not good for us to ask about other people's family affairs."
Although he did nothing wrong in this matter, speaking it out would be considered a family shame in the eyes of some people. Yun Pei was a strong-willed child, and she was worried that asking the wrong question would hurt the other party's self-esteem or remind him of sad things.
In fact, considering their current relationship, he is not considered an outsider. Qin Mingyuan raised his hand and touched his nose. "He is fine. Those people paid the price for their wrongdoings. He is in a very good mood."
Zeng Lianyi felt relieved after hearing what he said. "Those people are certainly not worth Xiao Pei's sadness. I'm just afraid that he will feel even more sorry for his mother because of this..."
At this point, she looked up at her son and said, "Baby, have you ever cared about Xiao Pei? You're not so focused on work that you don't even go to see him, are you?"
I watched it every day, inside and out, many times. Qin Mingyuan's mind was racing, but his face was as calm as a rock. "Don't worry, I took care of him. His mood really wasn't affected at all."
Zeng Lianyi was reluctantly relieved by her son's promise. She played with her curly hair and remembered something. "Oh, the Yun Group went bankrupt, so all the assets in Yun Haowei's hands should have been taken away. Where does Xiao Pei live now? He is alone and it is not convenient. Can he take care of himself?"
"The place he lives in should be pretty good," Qin Mingyuan tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingertips, "nothing will happen."
Zeng Lianyi opened her mouth and wanted to suggest that if it was not possible, she could take him to live in the Qin family villa, which was very spacious and had many servants, making it convenient to take care of him.
It's just that saying this is a bit too much. They are not that close, and if you say it rashly, it may cause offense.
Seeing that she was frowning and obviously still worried, Qin Mingyuan simply said, "Actually, I took him to live in my own apartment, and the aunt at home will take care of him."
"Really?" Zeng Lianyi looked up in surprise. "That's great. Anyway, your house is so big, it's no big deal to give Xiao Pei a room. It will also be convenient for you to take care of him."
I don’t know if it was because she was too concerned, but she didn’t realize Qin Mingyuan’s obvious hint at the first time. She also obviously forgot that his apartment had many rooms, but only one was large enough for sleeping.
He sighed in his heart, and when he turned around, his eyes met Qin Pei, who had been silent. The two of them looked at each other quietly for a few seconds, exchanged a knowing look, and then looked away.
Taking a look at his wife who seemed to be slow today for some reason, Qin Pei sighed in his heart. How could this brat with no emotional intelligence actually find a wife
Knowing that Yun Pei was with their baby, Zeng Lianyi felt much more relieved. At the same time, she couldn't suppress the urge to meet him.
Since he is willing to live with his son, it means he still trusts him and doesn't treat him as an outsider. It shouldn't have any impact on her meeting with others now.
It’s just that Qin Mingyuan had a lot of work on hand today, so he couldn’t just leave. But if only two elders went, he was afraid that Yun Pei would feel uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, Zeng Lianyi came up with a solution that would have the best of both worlds.
She left Qin Pei here to handle the work and asked Qin Mingyuan to go home with her.
Qin Pei: “…”
He has been "retired" for so many years, why does he want to go back to work
"Then my son and I will leave. You should work hard~" Zeng Lianyi blew a kiss to her husband and happily left the office with her son.
What else could the former president of Qin Corporation, who was clearly arranged by his wife, say? He could only deal with the documents on his desk honestly.
Zhou Yang came in to deliver the documents. He saw the face that looked like his boss and felt the cold aura of the other party that was no less than his boss. He felt restrained and embarrassed. "Qin... Mr. Qin, I need your review of the new documents."
—
Yun Pei became nervous when he received a call from Qin Mingyuan and learned that Zeng Lianyi was coming. Although they had met before and the other party was very friendly, the situation now was different. Isn't this equivalent to meeting the parents
He was originally drawing in the study and had no interest in anything else. After thinking for a long time, he decided to boil some water and make a pot of tea. Qin's company was very close to here and they should be back soon.
While boiling the water, he looked in the mirror and carefully checked whether there was anything inappropriate about himself.
Finally, she recalled that when he first met the other party, he lowered his eyes in frustration. She had already seen him at his most inappropriate side.
Not long after the tea was brewed, there was a noise at the door. Yun Pei hurriedly controlled the wheelchair to go over to greet them, his body a little stiff and restrained.
When Zeng Lianyi walked in, she immediately saw a wheelchair parked not far away. A young man was sitting on it with a smile on his face, but his eyes showed a bit of helplessness, like a child who was dependent on others and couldn't let go.
Her heart suddenly ached. Her biological mother, who loved him the most, passed away. The murderer was her stepmother. Her biological father knew about it but helped her cover it up. His half-brother almost killed him.
This child seems to have experienced all the misfortunes in life.
The other person kept staring at him without saying anything, which made Yun Pei even more nervous. His fingertips on the armrest were tense, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and spoke first, "Auntie..."
The word "OK" was still stuck in his throat when he was hugged tightly by the woman who came running over. The faint scent of the other person's perfume surrounded him, making him stiff and dare not move.
"Xiao Pei," Zeng Lianyi hugged his thin body and touched the back of his head, "Don't be afraid, Auntie will love you in the future."
Yun Pei was stunned. In his sight was Qin Mingyuan who followed in. The man met his gaze and smiled.
"Don't worry, the Qin family will be your home from now on." Zeng Lianyi let him go and held his face with her hands, "We are your relatives."
Yun Pei finally understood now that the other party was comforting him, and he felt warm in his heart. In fact, the man had always been with him, and he was not affected by those people, but he was still very touched that the other party cared about him so much.
He was obediently held on the face by someone, his eyes reflected the woman's concerned face, all the tension in his heart suddenly dissipated, he curved his lips to reveal a smile, "Thank you, Auntie."
The well-behaved and docile look touched Zeng Lianyi's heart, and she hugged him and rubbed him, "Our little Pei is so cute and obedient. Those people are stupid not to cherish him."
"Okay, if you hold him any longer he won't be able to breathe." Qin Mingyuan stepped forward at the right time and rescued the man whose hair had been rubbed to a mess.
Zeng Lianyi then reluctantly let go of her hand, sighing that it would be great if their precious son could be so well-behaved.
"Auntie, please sit down first. I just made some tea. Have a cup to warm your body." Yun Pei smiled and pointed to the sofa.
Zeng Lianyi touched his head again to show that little Pei was still a good boy, then turned around and walked to the sofa and sat down. When the other party poured her tea, she looked around and found that there were many paintings hanging or displayed in many places. She knew at a glance that they were the other party's works.
In addition, there was an abandoned paintbrush next to the TV cabinet, and a box of unopened paint on the coffee table in front of it. It must have been bought not long ago and there was no time to put it away.
She didn't know why her heart suddenly moved. Although she had been apart from her son for most of the years, she knew that he was a person with a strong sense of territory.
It was already an exception to allow someone to live in one's own territory, not to mention allowing his things to be placed around and occupy one's own space.
And through several meetings, she learned that Yun Pei was a very polite person. If he stayed in someone else's house temporarily, he would make sure to pack up his things neatly and put them in his room.
Wait, a room?!
She remembered that there seemed to be only one bedroom left in her son's apartment!
Zeng Lianyi suddenly realized something and turned to look at the other two people beside her.
Yun Peizheng handed the poured tea to her, and she took it calmly and took a sip.
The young man poured another new cup and handed it to Qin Mingyuan who had just come over and sat down. The other party raised his chin to indicate that he should drink it himself, and he actually withdrew his hand and lowered his head to drink the tea.
This inconspicuous interaction did not even involve any physical contact, but Zeng Lianyi inexplicably felt a different atmosphere, and it was definitely not because of her CP brain.
"When are you going to get married?"
"Puff... cough cough cough..."
Yun Pei, who was drinking tea, was choked by her sudden question.
Qin Mingyuan looked at her disapprovingly and took out a tissue to wipe the water stains from her boyfriend's mouth. "Can't you be more tactful? You scared him."
His considerate gesture made Zeng Lianyi unable to stop laughing, "Sure, baby, I thought you would need to work on it for a long time since you are so stupid."
Qin Mingyuan curled his lips but said nothing because he had not realized it before. Once he figured it out, he would not try again and would only go straight ahead.
Yun Pei was the only one feeling awkward. He stopped coughing and looked at her guiltily, "Auntie, did you see that?"
"Yes." Zeng Lianyi clasped her hands together and clasped them in front of her chest. "It's worth my efforts to bring them together."
"Ah?" Yun Pei was stunned.
"I mean," Zeng Lianyi reached out, held his hand, and patted the back of his hand gently, "you don't have to be nervous. It has always been my hope that you two will be together, so don't worry, don't be afraid, you just need to be happy and happy, understand?"
It turned out that the other party had seen through the nervousness that he thought he had hidden well. Yun Pei lowered his eyes, and when he raised them again, he was relieved, "Okay, I understand."
Qin Mingyuan sat next to her without saying a word. He knew that with Ms. Zeng's personality, she would definitely be able to comfort her lover.
Seeing them having so much fun, a smile also appeared on his face.
