When the three of them returned home, Zhang Kun and Li Xu were already cooking.
This was the first time Qin Mucheng had come to their house, so Li Xu and Zhang Kun put more importance on it.
The dishes were sumptuous. At the dining table, Ji Yuanyuan told them about her leave for the night and they did not object.
After dinner, Ji Zi’ang reluctantly went to school alone. Li Xu and Zhang Kun still had to patrol the shop.
Hu Chunli was now an accountant, so she naturally couldn’t work as a store manager.
They hadn’t found a suitable candidate for the time being, so Li Xu and Zhang Kun patrol the shop for the time being.
Li Xu felt a little upset when she thought of Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng going out alone.
Although she knew Qin Mucheng was a good child, they were already so old and had been engaged since they were young…
“Why don’t Zixuan go out with you? It’s already the holidays, so don’t stay at home all day. You’ll have plenty of time to study when you go to university.”
Ignoring Li Xu’s words, Ji Zixuan immediately said, “They’re going to the amusement park. I’m not interested, so I won’t join in the fun.”
Li Xu wanted to say something more, but Zhang Kun grabbed her arm, “Let’s go. The children are all grown up and have their own arrangements. You don’t have to worry about them.”
Li Xu was dragged out of the door by him.
After they went downstairs, Li Xu whispered to Zhang Kun, “Are you stupid? Mucheng is also a 18-year-old young man now. What if…”
“If you think that way, you’re looking down on Mu Cheng too much.” Zhang Kun laughed.
Zhang Kun had already opened the door and got into the car.
When Li Xu heard this, she also mumbled and got into the front passenger seat.
As he fastened his seatbelt, Li Xu asked in confusion, “What do you mean by that?”
Zhang Kun looked ahead and carefully drove the car out of the parking lot, “My meaning is, we’ve watched Mucheng grow up. This child, he was different from ordinary children. He was going to do great things in the future.”
Li Xu nodded thoughtfully, “That’s right. The children of rich families definitely have different horizons and knowledge from people like us.”
“That’s why Mucheng has been steady since he was young. At such a young age, he already had his own views. There was nothing to say about Yuanyuan. Sometimes, he treated Yuanyuan better than Zixuan and Zi’ang. So, you can relax. Mucheng knows what he’s doing and won’t do anything out of line.”
When the car reached the main road, Zhang Kun turned his head and glanced at Li Xu., “Besides, how old is Yuanyuan now? According to my observation, the relationship between the two of them hasn’t reached that stage yet. Mucheng might have kinship and responsibility towards Yuanyuan now, but he probably did not have any love.”
When Li Xu heard this, she looked at him in amusement, “You’re quite observant.”
“That’s true. Mucheng is very likely to be our future son-in-law. How can we not observe him carefully? With his family background, let’s not observe. How would we dare to marry Yuanyuan over? If she is bullied in the future, we might not even have a place to reason with.”
Li Xu sighed, “Now, it seems that the Qin family is a good person and easy to get along with. If our Yuanyuan can really marry Mucheng in the future, then we’ll really be able to climb up the social ladder.”
“So, let’s work hard now and try to save up more dowry for Yuanyuan before she gets married. Otherwise, those relatives of the Qin family might say something about our daughter behind her back.”
Hearing Zhang Kun’s words, Li Xu, who was originally a little listless, immediately perked up, “You’re right. While we’re still young, we should hurry up and earn more money.”
After Zhang Kun changed the topic, Li Xu did not want to see Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng go out alone anymore. She turned to Zhang Kun and talked about the company.
On the other side, Ji Yuanyuan had changed out of her school uniform into a pair of simple jeans and a white t-shirt. After that, she was ready to follow Qin Mucheng out.
Ji Zixuan was cleaning up the table while Qin Mucheng was also busy.
“You don’t have to. I’ll be done in a while. Quickly wash your hands and take Yuanyuan with you.” Ji Zixuan said.
When Qin Mucheng saw that Ji Yuanyuan had already cleaned up, he went to the kitchen to wash his hands, “Thank you for your trouble, Brother Zixuan. I’ll bring you some food when we get back.”
“Okay, don’t come back too late.” Ji Zixuan instructed.
Qin Mucheng agreed and brought Ji Yuanyuan out.
Ji Zixuan only returned home after he watched the two of them disappear.
Speaking of which, although Qin Mucheng was from a wealthy family, he had always been down-to-earth in front of them.
At home, he probably didn’t even need to go to the kitchen to get his own chopsticks. In their house, she actually took the initiative to help clean up the dishes.
In any case, Ji Zixuan was quite satisfied with his future brother-in-law.
The amusement park was not far from their house, so Qin Mucheng had to ride his bicycle to bring Ji Yuanyuan there.
Two blocks away, Ji Yuanyuan saw the Ferris wheel in the amusement park.
The colorful lights shone in mid-air and moved slowly.
“Big Brother Mucheng, are you afraid of heights?” Ji Yuanyuan poked Qin Mucheng’s back and asked.
Qin Mucheng’s body stiffened for a moment and the bike twisted.
Ji Yuanyuan was so frightened she quickly hugged Qin Mucheng’s waist.
“I’m sorry. Are you okay?” Qin Mucheng quickly steadied his bicycle and asked apologetically.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly released Qin Mucheng, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m fine.”
“My waist is a little ticklish, so…” Qin Mucheng explained in embarrassment, “Also, I’m not afraid of heights. If you want to play any games, just let me know.”
Ji Yuanyuan made a sound of “oh” and did not say anything else.
The two of them soon arrived at the entrance of the amusement park.
Night tickets were cheaper than daytime tickets. Moreover, Ji Yuanyuan was only a few months away from turning 14, so she could enjoy half-price child tickets.
The two tickets did not cost much. Ji Yuanyuan generously paid for them.
“If it’s too expensive, I might not be able to afford you.” Ji Yuanyuan said as she handed the tickets to Qin Mucheng.
“Thank you for your hospitality, Ms. Ji.” Qin Mucheng smiled and took the order.”
Ji Yuanyuan smiled, “You’re welcome.”
Although it was night, there were many people in the amusement park. There was a long queue at the entrance to check the tickets. The two of them slowly walked inside with the crowd.
At night, many rides could not be operated, and the Ferris wheel was suitable for chatting and overlooking the night scene. Therefore, after entering the park, Ji Yuanyuan dragged Qin Mucheng to the Ferris wheel.
There were still a lot of people queuing up, and most of them were young couples.
Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng were lined up in the middle of a couple who were hugging each other. They seemed out of place.
“Darling, 1 heard that if you kiss when the wheel reaches the highest point, you will be together for the rest of your life.”
“Then let’s try it later. I want to be with you for the rest of my life.”
