“That won’t happen. Xiao Ran always says tough words but her heart is soft. She won’t just watch as the Qin family is forced into a corner.” Qin Yang refuted.

  “Sigh. We have no other choice but to listen to her now.”


  This was the truth. If they wanted to carry out the engagement, they had to let Qin Ran marry. If they wanted to cancel the engagement, they had to let Qin Ran do it.

  When Mrs. Qin heard this, she understood seventy to eighty percent of the situation. She organized her words and called Mrs. Fu to arrange the meeting time and place.

  “What did she say?” Mr. Qin asked.

  “To meet her at her house tomorrow afternoon at two.”


  “How anxious.”


  After discussing the proper business, the family went to do their own things. Of course, Qin Fei and Qin Xiang’s main mission was to eat, drink and play. As long as they didn’t cause trouble, they would be thankful.

  Mrs. Qin had just discussed the time and place when she sent a message to Qin Ran.

  ?Her first reaction was the same as theirs too. But it was understandable. How could parents not be anxious when their son was lying in bed?

  The work in the bookstore was busier today, and Qin Ran didn’t get off work until 6: 30 pm. She walked leisurely on the road alone. Just as she turned a corner, she saw a slender figure standing beside the MPV. He had a good figure and a good proportion.

  Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps behind him, that person slowly turned around and smiled dotingly.

  “Why are you here?” Qin Ran asked in surprise.

  “I’m not busy at the company, so I came to pick you up from work.” Mo Chi opened the car door as he spoke and carefully guided Qin Ran into the car.

  In fact, Mo Chi knew that she had applied for leave in the morning and guessed that she had gone to see her original family. He was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he specially pushed aside the meeting to pick her up from work.

  “Are you hungry?” Mo Chi sat beside Qin Ran.

  “I’m a little hungry.” Qin Ran smiled in embarrassment.

  “Then eat some fruits first!” Mo Chi, who was in front of her, was like a magician, bringing out a plate of strawberries from behind him.

  “Why are there strawberries?” How could any girl reject strawberries? At this moment, Qin Ran’s eyes were sparkling.

  “Hurry up and eat.” Mo Chi was amused by the lass’s useless look. He picked up a strawberry with one hand and brought it to her mouth, while his other hand hooked the tip of her nose.

  She took a bite. It was sweet and sour with a hint of coldness. He must have put it in the fridge in advance, but he was worried that it would be too cold for her stomach, so he took it out in advance.

  “Why are there strawberries at this time?” Qin Ran swallowed the delicious strawberries and asked hurriedly.

  “As long as you want to eat it, no matter when, I promise to let you eat it immediately.”


  Qin Ran was glad that she had not spoken while eating something. Otherwise, she would have spat it out. It was his fault for saying that. It sounded so mushy.

  They ate strawberries along the way and soon arrived at the Mo Residence.

  Because she got off work late, the food was almost ready. After dinner, Qin Ran followed Mo Chi upstairs. When she passed by the guest room, she remembered that it was full of gifts. Qin Ran glanced at Mo Chi’s expression. It seemed to be quite good, and it was a good opportunity to speak.

  “Hubby.”


  This was the first time that Qin Ran had called him ‘hubby’. Mo Chi was stunned on the spot for a long time before he regained his senses. “What did you call me just now?”


  “Hubby.” The joy in Mo Chi’s eyes could hardly be concealed. Qin Ran knew that this move was effective, so she quickly struck while the iron was hot.

  Mo Chi was overjoyed, but in the next moment, he felt puzzled. This lass looked soft and weak, but her innermost being was actually very strong. Moreover, she rarely acted coquettishly or obediently. There must be a reason behind this.

  “Hubby, I want to discuss something with you.” Qin Ran’s voice became gentler and gentler as she looked at Mo Chi pitifully with her big watery eyes.

  Sure enough, she came prepared.

  “Look at how many things there are in the two guest rooms. It’s taken so much space. I’ve already received your kind intentions, but I really don’t need these things,” Qin Ran continued.

  “So that’s what this is about,” Mochi whispers.

  “Why don’t we return these items? In any case, I haven’t touched them since I brought them back. As for those limited edition items that we have to wait for, let’s quickly cancel them.” Qin Ran walked over to Mo Chi’s side and pulled his arm as she shook it.

  “Our Mo Residence is such a big place. It’s only two guest rooms. It’s fine if it takes too much space.” Mo Chi patted Qin Ran’s hand and gently shook his head.

  “As the saying goes, ‘One should not receive a reward without doing something.’ How can I feel at ease when you’ve given me such great gifts?” Qin Ran retorted.
