After the kiss, Little Qi blushed and leaned against the wall with an unnatural expression. “But I promised my mother that I would go home today.”
“Have dinner with me before you leave,” He Yanzhi held her hand and said. “Two days ago, you spent a lot of effort to decorate the room. I haven’t enjoyed it yet. I have to make up for it today.”
Little Qi followed He Yanzhi back to the living room and he got her to the sofa. “Sit down. Let everything to me today.”
“Have you settled everything?” Little Qi couldn’t help but ask when she saw him rolling up his sleeves.
“Do you not trust your husband that much?” He Yanzhi lowered his head as he tidied up the coffee table. Then, he pulled Little Qi up and pushed her toward the bedroom. “Come out when I tell you to.”
“So mysterious?”
The couple was about to have a sweet dinner together when Little Qi received a call from Mama Sheng.
“You heartless little thing. Your grandfather is celebrating his birthday today. Why aren’t you home yet?”
Little Qi was stunned for a moment before she finally reacted. No wonder her mother told her to go home last night.
“I’m sorry, Grandma. I’ll be back soon.”
“At least you have a conscience.” Mama Sheng was not really angry. She thought about the matter between Little Qi and He Yanzhi and became a little more serious. “If you want to bring someone home, that’s fine. However, if your grandfather sees through you, I won’t help you.”
Little Qi glanced at He Yanzhi and did not have any intention of hiding anything. She covered her phone and asked He Yanzhi, “It’s my grandfather’s birthday. Do you want to join?”
He Yanzhi knew that they wouldn’t be able to have their candlelit dinner now, but he didn’t reply to Little Qi. He just put on his jacket while Little Qi was talking to her grandmother. When she hung up, he held Little Qi’s hand and said, “I’ll send you home.”
“He Yanzhi…”
“I’m not afraid of your family. I just don’t want to embarrass you.” He Yanzhi stroke Little Qi’s hair and smiled warmly. “I can wait. When the time is right, when you’re an adult, I’ll ask your family to hand you over to me.”
After hearing this, Little Qi stood on her tiptoes and hugged He Yanzhi around his neck. “I’ll wait for that day.”
He Yanzhi took the opportunity to carry her and brought her directly out of the hotel parking lot. Soon, he sent Little Qi back to the Banyan Courtyard.
Outside the iron gates, Little Qi waved at He Yanzhi. “See you tomorrow.”
He Yanzhi leaned against the car door and nodded. “See you tomorrow.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to appear in front of the Sheng family as her boyfriend and tell them the story of him and Xiao Wan openly. It was just that his current identity and what he was doing made him lack confidence. Although he didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong, he still didn’t have enough confidence in front of the Sheng family.
Xiao Wan would be scolded by her family.
Xiao Wan would be caught between him and her family.
These were all scenes he didn’t want to see.
Therefore, he would temporarily endure the fact that he couldn’t join Xiao Wan’s life. One day, he would be able to do it openly.
After He Yanzhi had done enough self-hypnosis to convince himself, he turned around and prepared to drive away. However, when he turned around, he saw Tang Xiaobao riding his bicycle to the Sheng family’s home.
The two of them had a grudge against each other. Now that they had met on such a narrow path, Tang Xiaobao naturally didn’t give him a good look.
“You can’t go in, right?”
“I can’t go in,” He Yanzhi nodded and admitted.
“You better… Don’t let me catch you.” With that, Tang Xiaobao pushed the bicycle into the iron gate.
Then, all that was left for He Yanzhi to see was his silhouette..
