The next day, I slept until I woke up naturally, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, I came out of the room and heard Qin Yan talking on the phone with the door closed in the study next door, vaguely listening to it was a matter of work, and there was a Chinese breakfast on the table in the dining room.

The door of the study was opened from the inside, Qin Yan came out with his mobile phone, and when he saw that I had woken up, he stopped in place, as if he was waiting for the person on the other side of the phone to finish.

I took advantage of this gap to recall the events of last night, and the last memory of last night was that I fell asleep leaning on Qin Yan. I can really fall asleep in such an atmosphere, I am so impressed by my calmness, but I don't know where Qin Yan slept in the end, there seem to be at least two rooms in this room.

Qin Yan hung up the phone after saying it and looked at me: "When you wake up, go wash your face and have breakfast, there are new toiletries in the bathroom cabinet." ”

I looked at him in a light gray tracksuit and said, "You still went out for morning exercise?" You woke up so early. ”

He raised his eyebrows, and after two seconds he said expressionlessly: "What can I do, the two-meter-and-five-wide bed is enough to split on it, and you can still turn over from the other side several times and kick me, it seems that you should be allowed to sleep on the floor in the future." ”

I was stunned for a while, and said sincerely: "Mr. Qin, it's okay for me, but you old arms and legs, it's not good to wronged you to sleep on the hard floor with me." ”

He looked at me with a twisted eyebrow, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Since this is the case, I have to ask the secretary to order a five-meter marriage bed." When the words fell, his mobile phone rang again, he answered the phone while going to the restaurant to pour water and drink, and I went to the bathroom to wash up in a good mood. Later, after breakfast together, I said that I still need to go home to freshen up and change clothes, and to prepare some greeting gifts for his grandparents. Qin Yan happened to be going back to the company, and after he sent me home, he agreed to come back to pick me up at three o'clock in the afternoon.

After I went back, I took out all kinds of clothes that looked more dignified and virtuous, and finally chose a dress that looked a bit like a modified cheongsam, and then went to the study, and picked a Qing Dynasty imitation Han inscription moon inkstone as a gift and put it up.

Qin Yan's grandparents lived in a mansion on the outskirts of the city, and I heard Qin Yan's mother say that Qin Yan's grandfather's father was a warlord, and was later incorporated by our party to join the revolution, so the Qin family has always been old-fashioned and conservative. I don't feel sorry for the strict atmosphere of any family, but when I think of the identity of Grandma Qin Yan, I can't help but feel that the power of love is really great, and it can bring together two people with such a huge difference.

At 3:45 p.m., Qin Yan's car drove into the Qin family's mansion, and the road in the courtyard was planted with toons and laurels. Qin Yan parked the car, and his maid came to open the door for us, and as soon as we entered, she said, "Didn't you say half past four, why did you come so early?" The old man, the old lady and Miss Yin's family went out for a walk, and they haven't come back yet. ”

While Qin Yan brought me slippers, he responded when he heard the words: "Oh, my aunt is also here?" ”

The servant replied, "Well, they drove here in the morning and arrived before lunch." He looked at me again, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and whispered, "Miss Yin also brought her husband's niece over." ”

Qin Yan nodded casually: "Got it." ”

I gave the gift to the servant, followed Qin Yan to the living room to drink tea, I asked him, "I heard that your grandparents have five children, the eldest and youngest are girls, which aunt you mentioned just now?" ”

"The little one." He flipped through a book on the desk in his hand, and after a few seconds, he said casually: "My little aunt had a child before, and she died unexpectedly at the age of sixteen. My uncle's niece used to live in her house since she was a child, and my aunt treated her as her own. ”

After listening to it, I thought for a while: "Is that girl's surname Jiang?" ”

Qin Yan lifted his eyelids from the book and looked at me: "Do you know?" ”

I shook my head: "I don't know." "I just remembered the photo of the girl who danced with Qin Yan that Lu Zhaochao sent me before I came back from Japan last month, and I had the impression that the temperament was good, but it looked like everyone was beautiful.

Qin Yan raised his eyebrows again and asked me, "Then how do you know that her surname is Jiang?" ”

I snorted and said, "Oh, I think my mom mentioned it." ”

After sitting for a while, about a quarter after four o'clock, there was a sound at the gate, and the group came back from outside. Qin Yan led me to say hello one by one, Qin Yan's grandfather was not as angry and arrogant as I imagined, it was estimated that the old man was addicted to chess, so he went to the chess room with Qin Yan's uncle after a brief chat. But Qin Yan's grandmother is indeed as Qin Yan's mother described, a person in her seventies can count the wrinkles on her face, she speaks slowly and logically, and after being helped by Qin Yan's aunt to sit down, she looked at me carefully like looking at an antique vase, but said to Qin Yan: "This is the daughter-in-law candidate that your parents finally chose for you?" For such a big matter, you don't discuss it with me in advance, do you think my presbyopia is useless? ”

I could only regard myself as a transparent person, sitting motionless and not moving, I saw the corner of Qin Yan's mouth gently raised up, and said, "I set it, and my parents didn't know much earlier than you." ”

His grandmother looked at him with disgust: "Your vision is far worse than before. ”

He lowered his eyes and held the teacup, but this time he didn't say anything. After being quiet for a few seconds, his grandmother said again: "Since you are here, let her talk to me, you go to the chess room to play chess with your grandfather, don't always let your uncle win, otherwise the old man will lose his temper again in a while." ”

Qin Yan lowered his head and drank the cup of tea, turned the cup in his hand and looked at it for a moment before getting up, walked up to me and reached out and touched my face, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Buckwheat, you are here to chat with grandma, and if you have something, call me." ”

I was a little stunned by his sudden intimacy, so I had to nod my head, and he turned away.

There was only me left in the hall for a while, Grandma Qin Yan, Aunt Qin Yan, and the girl surnamed Jiang, I just heard Qin Yan introduce what her name is Jiang Jingyu. I saw that the old lady's teacup was empty, so I took the initiative to fill the tea for her, and heard her old man say in a low voice: "It looks okay, how ...... manners?"

I put down the teapot and looked up with some trepidation, Grandma Qin Yan looked at me with a straight face: "I heard that you are not in good health?" ”

I hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." ”

She said: "It's okay, the family's business has to be handed over to Qin Yan now, and the people around him must always be able to take care of him, instead of letting him spend time taking care of him all day long." ”

I sat with my nose and nose intent, and then I heard the old lady ask, "I heard my son say that your father is also in business, so you are now helping out in the family company?" ”

I replied honestly: "My father is worried about the family's business, I am a painter, I don't know much about business, and I can't help him." ”

"Drawing?" The old lady asked, "How is the drawing?" ”

I said: "There are too many masters in the art field, I don't dare to say that it is good, but I have held some solo exhibitions, won new art awards, participated in several auctions, and occasionally take on some commercial painting work in my free time." ”

The old lady didn't speak, but Qin Yan's aunt Qin Yin covered her mouth and was happy: "Fortunately, you have a little bit of family background in your family, otherwise it's really ...... It's nothing to be a hobby in painting, it's really difficult to develop a career, it's not like Jing Ying who can be a concertmaster in the orchestra casually, Mom, do you say yes? ”

I was silent for a while, but I still couldn't hold back, and said, "Thank you for mentioning it, but although I don't paint very well, I have been working with a gallery since I was sixteen years old, and I have published a few books, and the sales are good, and the paintings at auction are up to seven figures." Although the pure art of painting is not so popular now, it is not a problem to support yourself. ”

Qin Yin's face was a little pale, he rolled his eyelids and didn't say anything more. Grandma Qin Yan said coldly: "It's just small talk, you don't have to be so serious, the girl's family has to restrain her temper." ”

I had to say, "You are critical." ”

She said: "Qin Yan, this kid doesn't discuss with the family what he decides, I see that you are still very angry, and you will come and walk around more in the future." ”

I nodded again and said, "Oh, okay." ”

Grandma Qin Yan didn't say anything more, drank tea for a while, then stood up and ordered: "I was a little tired after walking for too long just now, Ah Yin, you go upstairs and help me pinch." ”

After Grandma Qin Yan was helped upstairs by Qin Yin, there were only two people left in the hall, Jiang Jingyu and me. I breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa looking at my phone, wondering if I should send a text message to Qin Yan to ask him to come out.

At this time, I heard the person next to me: "I have been admiring Miss Li for a long time, and when I saw it today, it is really much more beautiful than in the photo." ”

I turned my head, the atmosphere was tense just now, and I hadn't looked at her properly. I said, "Thank you, I'm also very happy to meet Miss Jiang, I heard that Miss Jiang plays the violin very well." ”

"Don't dare to be." She laughed and said, "Grandma and aunt are very straightforward, don't mind." ”

I shrugged: "Don't mind, it's normal for old people to have some tempers." ”

She smiled again and changed the subject: "Since I was a child, my aunt and I often came to visit my grandmother, and I often played with Qin Yan at that time, so I was like a brother and sister with him, but later he had less contact when he went abroad." When did Miss Li and Qin Yan meet? ”

I looked at her for two seconds and said, "Ten years ago." ”

She seemed surprised: "Really? I thought ......" paused and laughed again: "I heard that Miss Li is not yet twenty-three years old, and she was very young ten years ago, right?" Qin Yan later became ...... After going out for so many years, when did you get together? Was it after he came back? ”

I silently thought about what day Qin Yan and I should be together, but before she could say anything, she said to herself: "I think so, after so many years, he is finally willing to come back, and his parents must have thought that he had let go of his knot, so they kept arranging for him to go on a blind date, and even I was arranged." ”

Although I knew I shouldn't have been carried away by her words, I was a little curious, and I said, "What knot?" ”

She was surprised again: "Don't you know?" This ......" was silent for two seconds, then shook his head: "Forget it." ”

I said, "Oh, forget it." ”

She seemed to have something to say, and struggled for a moment and said, "Miss Li, take the liberty of asking, are you still so young, are you willing to be trapped in a business marriage?" ”

I looked at her blankly and said after a few seconds, "You misunderstood, we are not a business marriage. ”

She sighed: "The Qin family used their relationship to help your family get a piece of land, and you cooperated with the Qin family to speculate on the stock price, Miss Li, you are a business marriage." ”

I said, "...... It's good if you're happy. ”

She looked at me hesitantly, "Do you really like him?" ”

I asked her, "Don't you like him too?" ”

Her face turned blue and white for a while, and it took a long time before she said, "I'm not worthy of him." ”

I was stunned for a moment, I didn't know what to say this time, because I also felt that I was not worthy of Qin Yan for a while. After a while, Jiang Jingyu said again: "Although I have been trying to lean in the direction of the person he likes, I know that I still can't catch up with one-tenth of that person in his heart." ”

I pondered for a while, and couldn't help but ask her, "That's what you said, um......" After considering the wording, "His ex-girlfriend is dead?" ”

Jiang Jingyu's face became very frightened: "Why do you ask that?" I don't think so. ”

I immediately calmed down and comforted her: "Then it's nothing, only the dead in the memory of this world can't be defeated." Miss Jiang, I think you can work harder. ”

She looked at me with a smile and a smile: "Miss Li, why are you so interesting, you don't mind at all?" ”

I weighed it in my heart, lowered my voice a little and said, "Do you think, Miss Jiang, Qin Yan is thirty-three years old this year, and instead of making me doubt his sexual orientation or abilities in some aspects, of course I prefer to believe that he has a girlfriend." ”

Then I heard a voice behind me: "What do you suspect about me?" ”

I turned my head suddenly, Qin Yan didn't know when he was standing behind the sofa, and I said, "Ahaha, it's nothing, I'm discussing with Miss Jiang about your game of Go." Hey, but why did you finish a game so quickly? Did you win? ”

He nodded: "After winning more than 20 eyes, grandpa is so happy that he has to drink two glasses at night, let me come out to help him sober up." ”

I was stunned: "...... Why are you so ruthless? ”

He said, "Don't be stunned, come and help." ”

I said, "Oh. Standing up and following him to the kitchen, Qin Yan raised his eyes, and nodded to Jiang Jingyu, the other party smiled, but I felt that the smile was a little sad.

Qin Yan went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of red wine, and then instructed me to take the wine decanter from the closet, and said while uncorking: "I thought you would be on the wrong plate with them, but I didn't expect you to have a good chat." ”

I thought for a while and said, "Although Miss Jiang has also been on a blind date with you, she is also your family after all, so you still have to have a good relationship." ”

He smiled and didn't say anything, and I added, "Your grandma just said to let me come and walk around more, and I wonder if I should take the time to come back again next week." ”

He lowered his head and muttered for a few seconds: "I'm going on a business trip next week, it's not good for you to come alone, wait until I come back." ”

I was stunned: "Huh? You're on a business trip? But your mother said let's try on the wedding dress next week, and we have to talk to the photographer. ”

He poured the wine into the decanter: "I can do it, you can make your own decisions if you like." ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Really? I've heard that this wedding photography team is very good, whether you want to go up to the sky and shoot with eagles, or you want to go to the African bush to shoot with lions, or you want to go down to the sea and shoot with whales, they can do it, I kind of want to try, do you think we should try it? ”

Qin Yan raised his eyelids and looked at me obliquely, for a long time, and said, "I have old arms and legs, you leave me a way out." ”
