Chapter 94 Lao San, You’re in Love
Qiao Chengchun hurriedly picked up a magnifying glass and took a close look, "Hiss—", indeed, just as the girl had said, the pattern was coarse and dreadful!
He looked at An Yiqing with admiration, nodding his head and sighing incessantly, "Qingqing is not only keen-eyed but also detail-oriented. Such meticulousness, even for an old hand like me, is easily overlooked. Alas, the pupil outdoes the master!"
"Uncle Qiao flatters me too much," An Yiqing modestly shook her head, jesting, "How can I compare with you? It’s just a bit of dabbling on the side, nothing serious."
Although she said so, in his heart Qiao Chengchun grew even fonder of the girl Yiqing. He shook his head with a touch of regret and said, "Ah! If only my son weren’t married, how wonderful it would be to pair you two up?"
"Oh come on, stop with the indecent remarks! With Xiao Qing’s capabilities, how could she possibly fancy our family’s lazy and good-for-nothing boy?!" Shi Ruihe walked in with dishes just in time to hear her husband’s words and couldn’t help but retort with a chuckle.
"Hahaha! You’re right about that!" Qiao Chengchun laughed heartily, "A fine girl like Qingqing would only be suited for a real dragon among men, oh my! That’s right! General Gu! He would be a perfect match for Xiao Qing!" Qiao Chengchun slapped his forehead, suddenly recalling how Gu Yelin had tensely defended An Yiqing previously.
An Yiqing reluctantly twitched the corner of her mouth, wondering who this match-making old man in front of her was. Weren’t people always saying that the Antique King was composed, elegant and pursued perfection? Could it be that someone impostor had taken his place?
The meal Shi Ruihe cooked was very appetizing. Although it wasn’t as exquisite and delicious as the dishes Gu Yelin made, An Yiqing felt a mother’s touch in these dishes, which made her feel all the closer to Mr. and Mrs. Qiao.
After repeated urging from Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, An Yiqing stayed for a while longer then stood up to take her leave.
