Chapter 191 - 188: Annual Best
"Shouldn’t you buy me a few more clothes? It’d be best to have long sleeves, in case it rains when we visit your family. And, take me for a haircut this weekend... Are you listening?"
After dinner, while washing dishes in the kitchen, Qin Guanglin mumbled without hearing He Fang respond. Turning his head, he saw her engrossed in her phone and instantly felt displeased, "Comrade He, I’m lecturing here. Could you pay attention?"
"I heard you, I heard you. You don’t need a haircut. Your hair looks good now."
"Let’s go for a haircut this weekend. Half a month is just enough time for it to grow out a bit more naturally. Isn’t that perfect? Otherwise, it’ll get too long in another half month."
"You’re acting like a nervous bride meeting her mother-in-law. Really necessary?" He Fang rolled her eyes, put down her phone, and reached out her hand, "Pass me the nail clippers."
"Meeting your father-in-law and mother-in-law are pretty much the same." Qin Guanglin took off his keychain and handed it to her, "Could you take this seriously? This concerns our future happiness. What if your dad doesn’t like me and throws me out? Then we’d have to elope."
As National Day approached, he became increasingly anxious, fearing his father-in-law might disapprove of something, constantly preoccupied with the thought.
It was his first time; he needed to make a good impression.
"You think it’ll go beautifully, running away like that?"
Taking the nail clippers, He Fang busied herself cutting her nails while reassuring him, "Don’t worry. Just be yourself in front of my dad. Looking too fancy might seem unreliable to him... He’s quite stubborn with his own set of quirky beliefs. Just be natural, I promise, no surprises."
"You’re not your dad, so your promises don’t count for much. Look at the messages your dad sends about me. It’s full of disdain... No, I’ve got a very bad feeling about this." Qin Guanglin worriedly dried his hands and sat on the couch watching her clip her nails, his mind racing.
