Qin Zongxiao lowered his head silently, suppressing his emotions.

He likes Adina because he likes her smiling face and liveliness. But since the two got married, she was always depressed and rarely smiled.

There is a gap between the two, Qin Zongxiao works hard to improve the relationship and want to be a good husband.

But Adina always avoided him and didn't give feedback.

.

15 minutes later, dialed the internal phone secretary came in, and Qin Zongxiao explained the modification, rearranged it and brought it again.

After all this, he glanced at the time again, "It's almost, let's go." ”

Outside the office, there is a dedicated elevator to the parking lot.

Once in the car, fasten your seatbelt. Quiet, two people in a confined space.

He said, "Happy birthday, Adina. ”

"Thank you"

"I ordered you a few new bags, and the designer said it would fit your back."

"No, thank you. I have a lot of bags, so I don't have to break the bank. ”

Again, less than three sentences, the topic terminator.

After a while, Adina looked around at the new car, remembered and asked, "I crashed your car last time, can I still fix it?" How much does it cost? ”

Qin Zongxiao looked ahead and drove ahead, and said flatly: "It can be repaired, that car is not easy to drive, just replace it with a new one, it's okay." ”

So, the two men fell silent again.

.

When I arrived at the Qin Mansion, the sky was very cloudy, the dark clouds were black, and it was about to rain.

A black Chang'an has been parked in the courtyard, which is Di's father's car.

Qin Zongxiao drove the car forward and parked in another parking space.

At this time, another car came in the direction of the gate, a Rolls-Royce, it was Qin Zinan's car.

The three of them met in the courtyard.

"Big Brother ......"

"Hmm," Qin Zongxiao nodded.

Qin Zinan stood by the car door, looking at Adina, wanting to talk to her, maybe he wanted to say happy birthday, maybe he wanted to say hello, but Adina didn't give her a chance.

Adina didn't look at him, didn't look at him, just ignored him as if there was no such person.

She got out of the car and walked directly to the door of the villa, leaving only Qin Zinan with a back.

There was nothing to say between her and him, not an embarrassment, but an uncontrollable resentment.

.

Adina was holding a large bouquet of carnations in her hand, and when she entered the door, she handed it to Father Qin, "I wish you a happy birthday." ”

Father Qin took it, "Okay"

Father Qin has lost weight again, and since the last time they met, his complexion has deteriorated.

In the advanced stage of stomach cancer, the cancer cells have spread, and no amount of treatment can only be maintained, the body function is reduced, the resistance is reduced, and sooner or later it will not be able to escape the clutches of death.

"Adina, come and sit, it's raining, you're all back in time."

Father Qin smiled, but Father Di was not very happy, and looked at his daughter, "Heh, the good daughter I educated, she has grown up so big, she still doesn't know how to call people!" ”

For a moment, the room was silent.

Indeed, it has been a year since she got married, and Adina has no title for Father Qin. Now in front of her parents, how can she be so rude? Even if you divorce in the future, at least it is a marriage relationship now, and you have to have an honorific title when you see your elders.

Today is Qin's father's birthday, and Qin's father is not in good health, his sick face is thin, and his time is short......

Adina bowed and said, "Dad, it's me who is wrong." Happy birthday and wishing you good health and all the best. ”

"Eh, good, good! Adina, Dad doesn't pick on you, I'm happy when you come! It's your birthday too, so be happy! ”

.

What follows:

Father Qin and his parents sat on the sofa and chatted.

Qin's mother was in the kitchen, directing the nanny to cook, and occasionally came over to join in the chat.

There were 4 young people left, Qin Zijin and Adina sitting on the balcony reading fashion magazines.

Qin Zongxiao and Qin Zinan sat on the two independent sofas on the side.

.

Today's family gatherings are not awkward, because Di's father and Di's mother are not ordinary people. The two high-ranking political cadres and officialdom leaders are calm in their work, calm in their bearing, and their words are not leaky.

There was no discrepancy or dislikeness in them, as if they were all right.

Di's mother arrived and bought gifts for everyone in the family, including a gift for Qin Zinan.

Father Di took the initiative to speak and took the initiative to care: "Zinan, how about taking over the company?" …… Yes, take your time, good boy, young and promising! ”

Everything is normal, talk and laugh freely.

Of course, after the polite greetings, the main topic revolved around Qin Zongxiao. The father-in-law can distinguish between the inside and the outside and know who is his son-in-law.

Father Di: "Zong Xiao, this child is really good, a few days ago my father fell ill in the middle of the night, and we were both working in the field, thanks to him, it was hard to run before and after running in the hospital." ”

Father Qin: "Yes, don't talk to the family." ”

Father Di: "Zongxiao is excellent, we all agree, we have seen it in our eyes for so many years, and I am also a good match with Adina, get along well!" You young people, whether in life or work, you must learn to communicate. Adina is often ignorant and spoiled by us, you can't get used to her anymore, point out problems and supervise her to correct them. ”

Father Di is very good at talking and has been praising Qin Zongxiao. The position is also clear, I am very satisfied with this son-in-law, and I support him in everything.

.

When eating, sit at the table.

The four parents kept chatting about the topic, only mentioning happy things, not embarrassing things.

Father Qin: "Adina, you're about to graduate, right?" ”

Adina: "Well, it's still a few months. ”

Father Qin: "Zong Xiao said that you signed a music company?" ”

Adina: "yes, yes. ”

Father Qin: "It doesn't matter if you can do what you like, release a record or any other investment, just tell Zong Xiao or tell me, just open your mouth, it doesn't matter." ”

Adina replied, "Thank you, Dad."

.

There are two bamboo drawers on the dining table, which are steamed buns that have just come out of the pot. The pastry is exquisite, and there are small cards, a steaming drawer is a mutton filling, and a steaming drawer is a sauerkraut filling.

Qin Zongxiao clipped one and put it in Adina's empty plate.

Adina didn't pay attention because she didn't want to eat the buns and didn't pay attention to what kind of stuffing the buns were.

Qin Zijin and Qin Zinan, who were sitting opposite, saw it, they were too familiar and knew that Adina didn't eat sauerkraut.

I saw it, but neither of them said anything.

Qin Zinan didn't want to speak, he had been silent for too long, and his mood was depressed.

Qin Zijin didn't say anything, because in the past, she would never touch the dishes that Qin Zongxiao gave Adina, no matter what kind of stuffing the buns were, it was meaningless.

A minute later, however, something surprising happened.

Adina picked up the bun from the plate and took a bite.

The emotions between people are very subtle. Maybe unconsciously, she was less repulsive to Qin Zongxiao and less competitive.

It's just a bun, and she eats it.

The next moment, however, she almost threw up.

Adina doesn't eat pickled sauerkraut, and suddenly this taste almost makes her almost vomit.

What you can't get used to eating is the kind of taste you don't like, and it's not swallowing, and it's not spitting.
