Chapter 447 - 381 Part 2
Qin Ye glanced at the face beaming with joy, and he tried hard to recall. If he wasn’t mistaken,
it hadn’t been long since he last left, right?
Qin Zhen’s Wife had met them at the Qin Family just once before, and at that time, her belly wasn’t big, nor had he heard anything about her being pregnant. So how come now she already had a child, and a girl at that?
Do babies come that fast? Isn’t it supposed to be a ten-month journey... at least ten months, if not eight or nine?
But... Qin Zhen wouldn’t be joking about something like this, would he?
At this moment, Qin Zhen’s face was filled with excitement, happiness, and indescribable joy.
His voice even rose a few notches due to his excitement, "Qin Ye, I really became a dad. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your wife..."
His words were brimming with pride.
You know... Qin Zhen had been waiting for Qin Ye to come back for a long time... just for this moment, to show off to Qin Ye properly.
Qin Ye ignored the fool grinning ear to ear and turned his head to look at his wife, seeking confirmation with his eyes.
Compared to Qin Zhen, his wife was the reliable one who didn’t talk nonsense.
Rong Yan: ...
She was just as speechless about Qin Zhen’s words.
"Your wife is indeed pregnant, that’s true, but she hasn’t given birth yet. At most, you’re an expectant father."
"Also, the child hasn’t even been born yet. How do you know it’s a girl?"
Qin Ye: ...
Just as I thought! Babies don’t come that quickly.
At this moment, he also realized this guy was just showing off to him.
Ha, think you’re special because you’re a dad?
As if he’s the only one capable of becoming one.
Tsk...
My wife and I just don’t want a child at this time, that’s all.
If we were to have one, our child would surely be the best looking.
After all, my wife is so beautiful.
But Qin Zhen didn’t agree with Rong Yan’s words.
He was very confident, "Of course I know my wife will have a girl, because she likes eating spicy food... She didn’t used to like spicy food that much, didn’t they say it? ’Sour son, spicy daughter,’ my wife loves eating spicy, so it’s definitely a girl..."
Just thinking about his little cotton-padded coat calling him ’Dad’ made him want to announce it to the whole world.
Rong Yan: ...
I don’t want to talk to him anymore.
Qin Ye couldn’t be bothered with this man who was showing off to him.
"Wife, let’s go inside!"
Rong Yan was of the same mind, "Okay."
Then she closed the umbrella.
Seeing this, Qin Ye quickly borrowed an umbrella from the clothes washing hands: "Wife, let me hold it."
The couple entered the yard together, followed hurriedly by Qin Mei.
Qin Zhen: ? ...
What’s with Qin Ye? Is he jealous of me?
Otherwise, why didn’t he even say congratulations?
He must be jealous.
He was planning to head home, but now he wasn’t in a rush to leave. He simply parked his bicycle at the entrance and walked into the yard.
"Sister-in-law Liu, where is Grandpa? I haven’t seen him," Rong Yan asked Sister-in-law Liu, who was coming out of the kitchen.
Sister-in-law Liu, seeing the three of them arrive, was very happy.
She hurriedly responded, "Mr. Qin is upstairs in the study, I’ll go call him."
"No need, let Qin Ye go himself!"
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Liu was even more pleased, "Alright, Qin Ye goes, I’ll go cook... Are you staying for dinner tonight?"
If they were going to stay, then she’d need to prepare a few more dishes.
Just as Rong Yan was about to nod, Qin Zhen, beside her, was one step ahead in speaking: "Sister-in-law Liu, of course they are staying for dinner. Tonight, you’ll have to put in the extra effort to cook a few more dishes; I’m staying for dinner too."
"Okay," Sister-in-law Liu quickly agreed.
She had indeed bought a lot of vegetables that morning.
Qin Ye looked at his wife and said, "I’m going upstairs."
Rong Yan nodded, "Mm, go ahead! It’s a good chance to chat more with Grandpa."
Qin Zhen had intended to say that they should go together, but when she heard the latter part of Rong Yan’s sentence, she bit back her words.
Old Sir Qin thought of Qin Ye day and night, and now that he was finally back, Old Sir Qin would surely have a lot to say to him, so Qin Zhen decided not to interfere. After all, it was also time for the two of them to bond.
"Then I’ll go home for a bit and we can talk more later."
Qin Ye thought to himself... What do I have to talk to you about?
Nothing more than you not having finished boasting just now, and you’ll want to continue later.
He started heading up the stairs.
Upon reaching the study on the second floor, Qin Ye knocked a few times.
In a short while, the door to the study opened, and Old Sir Qin was quite surprised to see Qin Ye.
And then the next second, he was delighted.
"Qin Ye, when did you get back?"
"I came back this morning, I originally planned to come over at noon, but considering nap time, I decided to come now."
Old Sir Qin wanted to say, if you had come, would I have needed a nap?
"Come in and let’s talk."
He reached out and pulled him into the room.
After looking him over, "You seem to have lost a lot of weight."
Qin Ye: ...?
"No."
Old Sir Qin: "Did you come alone? Did your wife come? Shall we eat here tonight? When are you going back?"
A series of three questions.
Qin Ye answered them one by one, "My wife, my sister, and I came together, my wife said we would have dinner here tonight, we’re resting at home for these two days. We’ll be returning to work in two days."
Old Sir Qin, upon hearing they would eat dinner at home, was extremely happy.
"I’ll tell Sister-in-law Liu to cook more dishes."
Qin Ye: "I’ve already spoken to her."
Old Sir Qin continued to ask many questions, gripping his arm.
Downstairs, Rong Yan was still somewhat bored.
She knew that there were a few pots of orchids being raised in the yard.
So she turned to Qin Mei and said, "Let’s go take a look at the orchids."
Qin Mei thought that the orchids hadn’t bloomed yet?
Still, she followed her older sister-in-law unconditionally and simply agreed, "Okay."
The two went together to the front courtyard.
Old Master Qin had placed those pots of orchids under a wall corner to prevent them from being in direct sunlight.
They were growing quite well.
Looking at the moist soil, it was clear that they had just been watered recently.
Just then, a voice suddenly arose, "Hey, what are you doing? Planning to steal the orchids?"
Rong Yan: ...
Qin Mei: ...
She was sensitive to the word "steal," since it carried a negative connotation.
Such bad words could be tolerated if they were directed at her; she could pretend not to hear. But if these words were put onto her elder sister-in-law, she couldn’t endure it.
The normally quiet and unemotional girl now resembled a dog with its hackles raised, "Nonsense, we were just looking..."
"Looking? The way you were reaching out just now makes it look like you wanted to steal! Do you realize how precious these few pots of orchids are?"
"We are not stealing." Qin Mei rarely argued with others,
Nor did she know how to curse.
So when she got frustrated, her face turned as red as a drip of blood.
"Still saying it’s not stealing? Look at your red face, it’s clearly because you’re feeling guilty."
Rong Yan immediately stood up, raising an eyebrow at this suddenly appearing unfamiliar woman.
She scoffed coldly, "The way you’re rushing around... looks even more like you’re the one wanting to steal."
"Moreover, can we even use the word ’steal’ for our own family’s things?"
