Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 316
Chapter 316 The Trivial Matter of Life
After wandering around outside, her hands were already frozen to death. She could only return to Qiao Qiao’s house, where she felt very at ease. It was as if the pain of the past really didn’t exist. She leaned on the balcony alone. The moonlight at night was faint, and the surroundings were filled with warmth and beauty that she was not accustomed to.
“What are you thinking by yourself? Silly girl, it’s cold outside. It’s better to hurry inside.”
“If only there was a moon now. To be honest, I really envy you, Qiao Qiao. It’s a pity that I won’t be able to experience this kind of familial feeling in my entire life.”
An Zixi’s voice was soft, as if she was talking to herself. Qiao Qiao patted her shoulder and comforted her, “What nonsense is this silly girl talking about? You are very happy now. You just refused to open your eyes wide and pay attention to the people around you who care about and love you.”
In fact, An Zixi’s enthusiastic attitude towards others would occasionally feel awkward. Since childhood, he did not have the care of his relatives. Even if he pretended not to care, his heart would still have a knot in his heart. How could people get along with each other happily? Probably, it was like Qiao Qiao and Qiao Qiao’s parents. They were warm and harmonious, and did not need to wear a mask in front of each other.
She thought of many things about the past, circling in her mind as if she had never left. Recently, she seemed to have become a lot more sentimental.
Just as the two of them were chatting with each other, a knock came from outside the door. At the same time, An Zixi’s phone rang.
“Hey, I know you’re inside. Open the door.” Lin Qiyuan felt that his sudden visit was somewhat hasty. However, if it wasn’t for this sudden change, how could he know what the people in the room were doing?
“Qiao Qiao, it’s Lin Qiyuan.” An Zixi said straightforwardly, then answered the phone.
When Qiao Qiao’s mother heard the knock on the door, she immediately opened it. The man in front of the door was dressed neatly, had a handsome face, and always had a smile on his face.
Who is this man looking for?
“Hello, Auntie. I’m An Zixi’s friend. I’m really sorry to suddenly pay you a visit. I’ll make you laugh.”
When Mama Qiao heard that it was An Zixi’s friend, she immediately opened the door and greeted, “No, no, come in quickly. It’s so cold outside.”
An Zixi wasn’t as enthusiastic as he thought when he saw him arrive. After all, this man didn’t tell her in advance. She had already caused trouble for their family when she came to Qiao Qiao’s house. Although she knew that Lin Qiyuan’s intentions were good, she was still slightly unhappy with his sudden arrival.
However, it didn’t show on her face. There was still a smile on her face. She couldn’t bear to see Lin Qiyuan’s face being blown red by the cold wind. Her tone slowly softened, as gentle as ever. “Why did you suddenly come over?”
Lin Qiyuan thought to himself, “Aren’t I worried about you?”
Qiao Qiao giggled and beckoned him to sit down. Qiao Qiao’s family was equally enthusiastic towards An Zixi’s friends. Qiao Qiao’s father went to the kitchen to prepare melons and fruits, while Qiao Qiao’s mother enthusiastically made a pot of tea. Qiao Qiao even winked at An Zixi and said, “Well, you two came to my house so quietly. To tell the truth, I don’t know you anymore. Come on, don’t be so dull. Watch TV and drink tea. Tell me what’s going on.”
Lin Qiyuan remembered the gift in his hand. He didn’t know what to buy on the way here, so he only bought two boxes of expensive tonic. He gave the gift to Mama Qiao and said politely, “Please accept a little gift.”
Mother Qiao covered her mouth and smiled. “You’re such a child. Come on, come on. What other gifts are you bringing? You young people should have a good chat. I’ll go see what her father is doing. It’s so cold outside. You need to eat some hot food to nourish your body.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. An Zixi looked at him and said, “You don’t need to be polite. Qiao Qiao’s parents are very good. You can tell from looking at Qiao Qiao that there must be a good parent with such a good personality.”
“Aiya, look at you two. When did you become so polite? I don’t feel used to it.” Qiao Qiao blinked her eyes and thought that she was standing here now and had indeed become a big and bright light bulb. She thought about it and said, “I think there are still some clothes in my washing machine. You two can talk.”
An Zixi stretched out his hand to peel an orange. The atmosphere was really strange now. The three of them had something to do and left. Now, what could the two of them say in other people’s houses?
Lin Qiyuan looked very formal today. An Zixi asked, “Is there anything going on today? Come here.” She didn’t know what to say. Ever since the last time something like that happened, the two of them didn’t know how to communicate. An Zixi was happy about Lin Qiyuan’s existence. She never wanted to lose this friend, but sometimes things didn’t go as she imagined.
“You seem to be in a good mood. Qiao Qiao’s parents are really good, but you know what I’m here for, so come back with me later.”
Lin Qiyuan knew that she was going out, but if this continued, he was very worried that he would lose this woman just like that, although in a sense, it had always been his wishful thinking.
The corner of his mouth curved into crescent-shaped eyes. An Zixi returned to his smiling expression, “I remember when I was a kid, I always thought that I would be so happy when I was young. With the love of my parents, there were many beautiful scenes. Sometimes, I felt that it was really not a problem to imagine myself like this. I always acted obediently and thought that I could reap family love as long as I worked hard. In fact, I was just an orphan that no one loved. You probably won ‘t understand that feeling. ”
Lin Qiyuan wouldn’t understand. Although he always understood her, he was under the radiant starlight. He wanted whatever he wanted, and he didn’t want to save it. However, An Zixi was different from him. She could only accept it and endure it, even though she didn’t need to interfere in those things!
“I said before, no matter what happens in the future or now, I will always be on your side. This is something that cannot be changed. You just have to accept it quietly. You can ignore everything else.”
An Zixi smiled. What about Tang Jin Chen and Su Wan Yun? What kind of mood did those figures that existed everywhere in her life have to face them?
“You’ve been in a bad mood lately.” Lin Qiyuan looked at An Zixi’s somewhat thin and weak face. He knew her well. She would choose to keep some things in her heart silently. Her eyes were smiling and the corners of her mouth were smiling. Only Lin Qiyuan could see through the panic in her heart with a single glance.
The two quietly talked about trifles like this. There was a happy family comedy on TV, and the atmosphere in front of them was incompatible with the atmosphere on TV.
“Come, look at the dumplings your uncle made. It just so happens that everyone is hungry now. Have some.”
“Mom, look at you. As soon as we have a guest, we forget about your daughter.” Qiao Qiao said coquettishly, “Look, I’ve filled a bowl for both of them. If I come to my place and want to personally do it myself, I wonder if I’m your biological child.”
Mother Qiao smiled and brought up two bowls of dumplings. Although Mama Qiao did not know this handsome boy in front of her, she still felt that he looked very familiar. She could not tell where she had seen him before. Moreover, she was a little old and her eyes were not very good. How could she know that this dressed man sitting on the sofa was the movie star who often appeared on TV?
“You’re so old and still acting spoiled. Just like your father, you need me to bring him a piece of bread in the morning.”
An Zixi took a bite and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and praise, “Auntie, the dumplings you made are really delicious.”
“Isn’t it delicious? That ghost girl Qiao Qiao says that this isn’t good for me every day. Isn’t it because she doesn’t know what’s good for her?”
Qiao Qiao glared, “My mother’s kitchen is in heaven of injury. How can it be that cooking isn’t delicious!”
Even Lin Qiyuan was infected amidst the commotion.
Mother Qiao looked at Lin Qiyuan and laughed, “I think the two of you are a perfect match!”
An Zixi pursed his lips as he tried to explain something, but Lin Qiyuan interrupted him.
“Thank you for your praise, Auntie. However, Xiaoxi is a good girl. I don’t think I’m worthy of her.”
Lin Qiyuan’s words seemed to be spoken to everyone present, as if he was speaking to himself.
Father Qiao teased, “No, you look just like me when I was young. You look so handsome, haha.”
Mother Qiao rolled her eyes. “Yoooooooo, you know how to compliment yourself when you’re in front of a guest. When I was young, the man who chased me could line up from the fifth floor to the first floor of the school and ask who doesn’t know me. It’s you. I didn’t know which way I fell for you at that time.”
My old wife and I teased each other. The young people at the side were all blushing. Their good fortune was different. Even when they were old, they would still show their affection.
“Young man, do you know how to play chess? Let’s play a game together.” Father Qiao said, “If you can’t, then forget it. Young people nowadays don’t have anything compared to us at that time. They can only play chess for fun.”
Seeing this, Lin Qiyuan nodded happily and agreed, “Only a little. I hope you don’t make fun of me.” In fact, Lin Qiyuan was very happy in his heart. He used to play chess online to pass the time.
“You two play chess. The three of us are watching TV by the side.”
An Zixi had gained a lot from visiting Qiao Qiao’s house today. On the one hand, he looked at the happiness of the family and couldn’t help but feel envious. On the other hand, like Lin Qiyuan, he was also stimulated by this atmosphere.
‘”Little Brook, I think Lin Qiyuan is really not bad. Look, this person is gentle and handsome. You two have known each other since childhood. If I were you, it would be too late for me to be happy.”
Qiao Qiao’s mother didn’t understand the young man’s feelings, but she still agreed, “Qiao Qiao is right. I see that the young man’s eyes are filled with love. You should really think about it. But auntie can only give you advice. It’s really up to you.”
Everyone seemed to be optimistic about them, but An Zixi smiled and explained, “We’re just good friends.”
Hearing An Zixi’s words, Mother Qiao couldn’t continue to say anything. She could only nod her head, “This feeling can be nurtured slowly. Anyway, you are a good girl. What kind of good partner can’t be found? Auntie thinks highly of you.”
Qiao Qiao’s mother had always been so enthusiastic. Qiao Qiao held An Zixi’s arm and whispered in her ear, “My mother cares more about your life than I do. Seeing my status in the family deteriorate, you are so outstanding.”
“To have a mother like you is truly a blessing for Qiao Qiao in this lifetime.” An Zixi said from the bottom of his heart, feeling that the relationship between Qiao Qiao’s mother and her mother was really interesting.
“In the future, you will often come to our house. Just treat my house as your own.” Mother Qiao said with a wide smile.
After a few rounds of chessboards, Lin Qiyuan lost miserably. Father Qiao smiled happily and said that Lin Qiyuan was a genius.
“This young man is really good at chess. If I hadn’t been a little clever earlier, I would have almost won by him. However, it can be said that Jiang is still old and spicy. This is not unreasonable.”
“Uncle, you’re flattering me. My skill is nothing compared to yours.” The two of them were humble to each other. Thanks to Father Qiao’s superb skill, they were still defeated by each other in the best of five rounds.
