Liu family’s old residence was located at Ling Mountain in the westernmost part of South City. The transportation was convenient, and the asphalt road meandered to the villa at the top of the mountain.
The road was built by the Liu family, and not everyone could enter the road leading to the Liu family. There was a gate at the foot of the mountain, and it was guarded.
When Liu Qi arrived, it was already eight o’clock in the evening. She was a bit dizzy, and Shen Nanxiao had to support her.
She was not wearing a formal dress. Instead, she was wearing loose shorts and sportswear. Her tall ponytail made her look vibrant.
This old house had been a seven-row house. As her uncle had been abroad as a student and wanted to live in a western-style villa, the old lady had modified the old house into a villa that combined Chinese and Western styles with modern conveniences.
At this time, the old lady had already turned in. The one who received them was her aunt.
“Well, you’re so late. Your grandmother is already in bed.” Aunt Wang Xianglai was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was 168 cm in height and appeared elegant on the surface. However, when she spoke, she was especially mean.
“Hello, Aunt.” Liu Qi’s tone was very calm, not as sharp as before. Instead, she appeared much more obedient.
When Wang Xianglai recognized the person behind Liu Qi, she immediately put on a smile. Shen Nanxiao had actually come today. “Oh, Nanxiao has also come. Has It been a tough journey?”
Without waiting for Shen Nanxiao to reply, Wang Xianglai turned to Maid Huang behind her and ordered, “Take Qijin in to rest.”
“Yes.” Maid Huang walked to Liu Qi with her head slightly lowered and said with a smile, “Miss, come with me.”
Liu Qi was tired. She wished she could jump into her bed right now. Nodding slightly, she indicated the maid to lead the way.
Actually, she didn’t need it. It was just that her aunt intended to treat her as a guest.
Seeing that Liu Qi had obediently left with Maid Huang, Wang Xianglai came closer to Shen Nanxiao and said with a smile, “Nanxiao, I’m sorry. That girl has been spoiled since she was young.”
“It’s late. I’ll have to trouble you to get a room ready for me.” Shen Nanxiao’s tone was very polite and also distant.
When Wang Xiang heard this, she laughed and said, “Okay, your room is the same one as last year. I haven’t moved anything in your room.”
The truth was that Shen Nanxiao hadn’t touched anything that Wang Xiang had arranged in the room.
“Shen Nanxiao, I’ll bring you to see my mother.” Suddenly, a clear voice came from the side, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Liu Qi had just realized that she had forgotten about her man.
Shen Nanxiao’s lips curved slightly. This little girl only remembered him now?
Wang Xianglai was displeased. She had planned to let Shen Nanxiao meet her eldest daughter, Liu Feng.
“It’s so late. Nanxiao needs his rest. Girl, don’t be so inconsiderate.” Wang Xianglai scolded Liu Qi.
Tsk! Liu Qi silently cursed. If she had not come, Wang Xianglai would probably have arranged him to stay in the room next to her eldest cousin’s. She had done that in the past, and she would do it again.
Only now did she finally understand that everyone in the Liu family coveted Shen Nanxiao. In the past, she had actually given him up!
“Auntie, Nanxiao is my fiancé. Naturally, I must let him meet my mother. Auntie, don’t worry. I will get a room for him.” Liu Qi’s tone was mischievous, deliberately angering Wang Xianglai.
Wang Xianglai suppressed her anger and said earnestly, “Qi, your mother must have gone to bed. Moreover, there isn’t room available in the section where you live. It’s getting late. I will take Nanxiao to his room. You can bring Nanxiao to visit your mother tomorrow.”
“It doesn’t matter. Nanxiao is my fiancé. It’s fine even if we share a room, right?” Then, Liu Qi looked at Shen Nanxiao. She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked with a smile, “Don’t you agree, Nanxiao?”
The meaning in Liu Qi’s eyes when she looked at Shen Nanxiao was very obvious. If you don’t come with me, I won’t let you off!
“Okay.” Shen Nanxiao said indulgently.
Hearing his response, Liu Qi ran over and took Shen Nanxiao’s hand. She smiled at Wang Xianglai and said, “Aunt, we’re turning in now. Aunt, good night.”

After saying that, she did not care about Wang Xianglai’s reaction and pulled Shen Nanxiao away.
After a long while, Wang Xianglai cursed, “This wretched girl is so cheeky!”
Maid Huang lowered her head and did not say a word.
Wang Xianglai obviously was shocked. No matter what, they were not married yet. How could they share one room? Then, she laughed to herself, deciding to report it to the old lady tomorrow!
…
At that moment, Liu Qi also slowed down her pace. She quietly allowed Shen Nanxiao to hold her hand.
She was wondering what Li Ya would do tomorrow, and whether it would change anything just because she was here.
After passing through the garden they came to the small villa where Liu Qi would stay.
It was funny. Other than the reception hall, she was only familiar with this small villa. There were only two bedrooms except for a study, a piano room, and an entertainment room.
Now that her mother lived in the bedroom on the first floor, she would naturally live in the bedroom on the second floor. However, where should Shen Nanxiao stay? She really did not know.
When they were close to the small villa, Liu Qi suddenly stopped. She raised her head and looked at Shen Nanxiao, saying, “You stay in my room. I’ll go sleep with my mother.”
“Okay.” Shen Nanxiao’s tone was light and there was no emotion in it, but there was gentleness in his cool eyes.
Two minutes later, Shen Nanxiao entered the little girl’s little bedroom and found the big bed was full of stuffed toys of all sizes.
The little girl had even told him not to touch her dolls.
Inside the Liu Qi’s mother’s bedroom.
Liu Qi’s mother, Hu Minglan, was not asleep yet. She knew Liu Qi would come back, so she was waiting for her.
“Qi, come and sit here.” Her mother waved to her and smiled gently and kindly.
Liu Qi trotted to her mother’s bedside. She asked with concern, “Mom, how are you now? Are you feeling better?”
“I was already feeling better. I walked in the garden early in the morning and was pounced on by your cousin’s dog. I sprained my ankle, so I couldn’t go and see you at the gate.” Liu Qi’s mother spoke lightly, it was as if she was talking about an insignificant matter.
However, Liu Qi frowned. This Li Ya! She didn’t even leash a dog! She carefully lifted up the blanket and said, “Let me take a look.”
Seeing the red and swollen ankle, Liu Qi’s heart skipped a beat. How painful was that? She asked, “Mom, did Li Ya apologize to you?”
“Yes.” Her mother smiled, but did not tell the truth. In fact, Li Ya only scolded the dog.
It was late at night.
While everyone had fallen asleep, Wang Xianglai was still angrily complaining about Liu Qi with Liu Feng.
“Mom, he’s Qi’s fiancé to begin with, so it’s no big deal for them to share a room. What are you worried about?” Liu Feng was clearly a little impatient. Her beautiful and intelligent face looked unconcerned.
Although she appreciated Shen Nanxiao, she was different from Li Ya. This man did not belong to her and she would not coveted him.

When Wang Xiang heard this, she immediately stood up in anger. She pointed at Liu Feng and said with disappointment, “You wretched girl, your mother is feeling unfair for you, and you even scolded me! If you don’t fight for him, Li Ya will!”
“Ai Yo! Mom, stop it! Third sister just sent me a message saying that she’s already at the foot of the mountain. I’m going out to pick her up.” Liu Feng began to put on her shoes. She didn’t want to listen to her mother’s nonsense anymore.
Wang Xianglai was stunned for a moment. Then, she asked with disdain and puzzlement, “Why is she back? Didn’t you say that she won’t come back?”
“Ai Yo, Mom, no matter what, Yue is your daughter.” Liu Feng really didn’t want to say anything more to her mother. She stood up and walked out, completely ignoring Wang Xianglai’s scolding,
Liu Feng was a sensible person in this family. She was also the only person in the Liu family who was a fiction writer. Her relationship with Liu Qi was neither bad nor good. It was the same with Liu Yue. She was just doing her duty as an elder sister.
