Chapter 2801 - 2799: Taken Aback
“Qin Qiu, you’re too kind. Just invite me when you and Gong Xi get married, but there’s no need to prepare any gifts for me,” Qin Xue said, looking at the couple who came together.
She genuinely didn’t expect them to be lovers, just like Gong Xi when he first saw her, startled, mouth agape, unable to speak while pointing at her.
“Rest assured, I’ll definitely send you an invitation. Just worried you might not be able to attend,” Qin Qiu said, glancing at her big belly.
It’s so far away, and she hasn’t even decided when to get married yet. Maybe it’ll be during her confinement period, who knows.
The wedding date isn’t decided by her alone, so it’s all about seeing how things go.
“Got it. No matter what, just handle it as you see fit. As long as I receive the invitation when the time comes, I’ll attend if I can. If not, I’ll send you a big red envelope, is that okay?” Qin Xue’s concern stemmed from wanting to do something for her sister.
After all, Qin Qiu is a daughter of The Qins, and her mother and the kids have received the family’s kindness, so she’ll definitely help her out.
“That’s for sure, you’ll definitely receive the red envelope. Just don’t be too stingy when the time comes,” Gong Xi said, noticing Qin Qiu blushing.
Qin Xue speaks her mind without reservation, and he couldn’t help but notice.
“Oh, now he’s protective. Fine, I’ll stop teasing. But if you truly think highly of each other, maybe you should settle down sooner. This way, Chaoyang and the others won’t worry about you being unmarried,” Qin Xue shifted the topic away from teasing Qin Qiu.
Regarding this matter, she didn’t quite know how to express it. Perhaps Qin Chaoyang and the others aren’t aware that Qin Qiu has a partner, but that’s not her place to say. It’s up to them to inform the family.
If they think it’s good, then it doesn’t matter whether she mentions it or not.
“Don’t worry. My parents know, and they’re considering finding a time to come over. I just didn’t expect you all to come here, otherwise my dad would have arrived sooner,” Qin Qiu said, aware that her parents were planning to visit, so she didn’t feel concerned.
The current her isn’t the same as before. Her parents coming would reassure them after seeing Gong Xi.
“Alright, as long as you’re aware. I honestly didn’t expect him to be my future brother-in-law. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have tested him so much,” Qin Xue remarked, though a test is still necessary.
She doesn’t do things she’ll regret, so this outcome was what she anticipated from the start. How could she not?
Anyway, Gong Xi’s test results were quite satisfactory for her.
“You still mention the test, you nearly scared me to death. Who tests people like that?” Gong Xi commented, though not out of dislike for Qin Xue, but because she does things without distinguishing people. As long as she values them and thinks they are capable, everyone gets the same treatment.
That’s why the outcome was surprising. After spending several days completing the tasks she assigned, he finally knew who Qin Xue was.
This revelation only occurred when Qin Qiu informed him of Qin Xue’s arrival and brought him to meet them.
Remembering that moment, he realized he’d never been so shocked in his life.
Because when he followed Qin Qiu there, he saw Qin Xue and Chu Molin inside the room. Without even asking, Qin Qiu told him, “That’s my sister, and that’s my brother-in-law.” He was stunned to realize they were all family.
