"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.
How truly anxious. 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.
"These gifts are to celebrate your good results. Besides, who said that you didn't make any contributions? You're pregnant, so it's the hardest for you." As Mo Chi spoke, he pulled Qin Ran's hand and walked towards the master bedroom.
"If you insist on not returning the goods, give me all the invoices for these items. I'll transfer all the money to you."
Upon hearing the words "transfer money", Mo Chi was stunned. First, he was angry at Qin Ran for saying such distant words. Next, he wondered where this lass got so much money when she had just graduated.
"You'll pay?" Mo Chi smiled. "Young lady, it's not that I look down on you, but these things are really not cheap."
Qin Ran smiled as well. Of course, she knew that even if it was ten times more than this amount, she could still pay without batting an eye.
"I'll pay!" Qin Ran, who was originally standing behind Mo Chi, took a step forward and stood before him.
Mo Chi remained silent as he looked at the lass before him. She seemed to have the spirit of a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of a tiger. She was so stubborn and cute. He was so close to Qin Ran. When he smelled the fragrance emitted from her body, the lingering feelings from that night in the hotel actually appeared in his mind. Mo Chi couldn't control himself anymore and carefully and unreasonably pinned her against the wall.
"You… what are you doing?" Qin Ran's brows were tightly knitted, her eyes filled with doubt.
"Nothing," the man whispered, but his lips covered hers wantonly.
With Qin Ran's skills, she was able to escape in a few moves. But for some reason, she felt comfortable and reluctant to leave.
"Go away." After regaining her senses, Qin Ran shook off Mo Chi. She covered her mouth with one hand and tidied her hair with the other. After saying this, she ran back to her room.
That was fine as well. Although Mo Chi hadn't had enough yet, if he were to indulge himself during this special period of Qin Ran's pregnancy, something major might happen.
At two in the afternoon, at the Fu Residence.
Qin Ran deliberately arrived half an hour late, so that the other party wouldn't think that she was anxious.
"Xiao Ran is here. It's hot outside, isn't it?" Mrs. Fu was quite enthusiastic. When she saw Qin Ran, she greeted her.
However, it became awkward when Qin Ran didn't reply.
"Why are you so rude? What did we teach you?" Mrs. Qin quickly helped her out.
Qin Ran's eyes were filled with loneliness. Teach? When had they ever taught her before? However, she was too lazy to argue, lest she waste her breath.
"The three of us arranged to meet here. None of us are here to care whether others are having enough to eat, or having enough clothes to wear, or care about the weather outside, are we?" The middle-aged woman was really full of tricks.
"Xiao Ran, this child, you really see things clearly and get straight to the point." After seeing that Qin Ran was so picky, Mrs. Fu also restrained her fake emotions.
"Isn't it more comfortable to talk like this? Let's hurry up and make things clear, so that we can get back to work." Qin Ran sat on the sofa. She didn't look like a high school student at all. "Mrs. Fu, I'm here to persuade you to annul the engagement."
"That's impossible!" Mrs. Fu sounded determined.
"Alright, let me analyze it for you. The first one to get engaged is Qin Xue, and the reason why you accepted this marriage was to help the Qin family in the business circle."
"Yes!" Although the Qin family was not as good as the Fu family and needed the Fu family's help in many areas, they were still a reputable family in Xuanchuan City. Such in-laws were better than commoners.
"Mrs. Fu is straightforward. But now, the Qin family wants me to marry Young Master Fu. Think about it, how can this be the same?"
Qin Ran spoke slowly, "Qin Xue is the beloved daughter of the Qin Family. It's no exaggeration to say that her status in the Qin Family is something that even their three sons can't compare to! With her as a daughter-in-law, the Fu Family and the Qin Family will be able to get along! But it's different for me. I grew up in the countryside since I was young, and I don't have any feelings for the Qin Family. Now, I've even fallen out with them and severed all ties with them. With me as your daughter-in-law, you guys can be considered to have truly become enemies with the Qin Family."
Due to the banquet that day, the grudges between the Qin family and their daughter were now mostly known by the whole of Xuanchuan City. The Fu family had always been paying close attention to the Qin family, so they naturally knew more about it. There must be another reason why Qin Ran had yet to marry.
"I know, but I'm willing for you to be my daughter-in-law not because of your relationship with the Qin family, but because I like you. Even if you're really an orphan, it doesn't matter to us."
When Mrs. Fu looked at Qin Ran, her gaze was actually filled with admiration. Ever since she had decided to accept Qin Ran into her family, the Fu Family had taken a fancy to her personal ability.
