Chapter 521 - 455 Cannon Fodder Dedicated in the 90s 22
"Alright, you guys don’t understand, let’s just get back to work!" Qin Ye said, and walked away.
Lu Yong and Ye Cheng watched him leave, then exchanged a glance.
"Brother Qin is really getting better at telling jokes," Lu Yong said.
But Ye Cheng knew Qin Ye’s personality well.
So, was he really joking? He felt that it was impossible.
At least in his understanding... Brother Qin wouldn’t joke about this.
He thought more deeply.
If there really were foreigners... It wasn’t that he was overthinking, but could those foreigners be interested in Sister-in-law?
After some thought, he decided it was not a good idea to bring it up explicitly.
So he said to Lu Yong, "Doesn’t Brother Qin stay in a hotel? Let’s go there tonight, sit for a while, and check on Sister-in-law."
Lu Yong agreed straightforwardly, "Okay, then we’ll join Brother Qin tonight."
He was extremely curious about this and also wanted to see if Sister-in-law indeed could speak that foreign language.
Once they had made up their minds, they didn’t discuss further and followed Qin Ye.
By five o’clock, they intercepted Qin Ye as he was about to head home.
"Brother Qin, let’s go with you! We can have dinner with Sister-in-law."
Qin Ye looked at them, obviously unaware of what they were thinking.
"Go find some other place to eat! Besides, our hotel is fully booked. You guys do as you please, there’s no need to follow me. Moreover, my wife might not be back until seven or eight tonight."
Ye Cheng was determined to see things for himself, so he shamelessly said, "Even if your hotel is full, we could stay in a small inn on the same street, and if Sister-in-law isn’t dining with you, wouldn’t it be perfect for you to eat with us? Brother Qin, don’t worry, we won’t disturb you for too long."
He put it out there clearly, but Qin Ye still didn’t agree. He had important matters to discuss with Rong Yan tonight!
This was very important to him; he didn’t want any mishaps.
"I’m busy today; let’s do it tomorrow! We can have dinner together tomorrow evening."
Seeing his firm decision, Ye Cheng didn’t press further.
"Alright then! We’ll come over tomorrow."
Qin Ye gestured with his hand and then walked away.
The two left behind looked at each other.
"Ye Cheng, do you think this thing with Sister-in-law... is reliable? What if she’s being tricked by those foreigners?"
Lu Yong had been pondering all day, and his thoughts were now aligned with Ye Cheng’s... filled with worry.
Ye Cheng pondered for a moment, "Since Brother Qin doesn’t want us there today, let’s sneak over later and check it out..."
They couldn’t afford to wait until tomorrow.
Remembering his words, Lu Yong’s eyes lit up, "Let’s do that, but let’s eat something first. We can keep watch there once we’ve eaten early."
He was eager to find out what was really going on.
Moreover, they hadn’t spent the whole day gossiping for nothing; they already knew which hotel Brother Qin and his wife were staying at, and they knew exactly where it was.
Ye Cheng nodded, "Okay, let’s do it that way." If they went over now, they might still run into Qin Ye; better to go after eating, so they wouldn’t be hungry while waiting.
They reached an agreement and went off to find a restaurant.
They found a small eatery and ordered two bowls of noodles, planning to head to the hotel after eating.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the hotel...
But what they didn’t expect was to end up waiting until nearly eight o’clock.
The longer they waited, the more worried they became.
"Why hasn’t she come back yet?" Lu Yong said, staring at the hotel entrance.
Their position was quite concealed, having chosen the neighboring small tavern where they sat by the window.
"Look, that’s Brother Qin, is he waiting at the entrance of this hotel?"
Ye Cheng replied, "I guess so. His wife might be returning."
"What should we do if we can’t hear their conversation from here?" Lu Yong had a mischievous idea, "How about we go out and ’bump into them’ as if by chance?"
Ye Cheng shook his head, "No, we better just watch from here! Isn’t Brother Qin over there anyway?"
Brother Qin wasn’t a fool after all, a shrewd man indeed.
If anything was wrong, Brother Qin would definitely have noticed.
"... Alright then!" Just as Lu Yong finished speaking, he noticed three cars stopping at the hotel entrance, and soon he saw foreigners getting out of the cars.
Lu Yong immediately sat up straight, "They’re here, it’s them."
Ye Cheng had seen them too.
He stared intently without blinking.
Rong Yan got out of one car and saw Qin Ye.
At that moment, Old Xu also alighted from the car, extremely satisfied with Rong Yan’s performance today.
Upon approaching, Old Xu immediately noticed him.
Having heard Rong Yan mention that she lived here with her husband, Old Xu recognized the spirited young man in a glance.
"Comrade Rong Yan, is this your husband?"
Rong Yan nodded, and introduced Qin Ye, "Qin Ye, this is Director Xu from the Office of Economic Development, Director Xu, this is my husband, Qin Ye."
Qin Ye, who had been feeling nervous about his unanticipated presence, heard Rong Yan formally introduce him as her husband.
His mood was indescribably joyful.
"Hello! Director Xu."
"Your wife is very good! Very outstanding!" Old Xu said with a smile.
Then, Frank also got out of the car.
Rong Yan introduced Qin Ye in German, mainly because Frank was asking! Naturally, Rong Yan had to introduce him.
Frank extended his left hand, and Qin Ye, understanding the gesture, also reached out to shake it.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, naturally with Rong Yan translating for them.
Ye Cheng and Lu Yong witnessed this scene from their side.
Lu Yong was shocked, "Ye Cheng, look at Brother Qin shaking hands with the foreigner... It seems his wife really can speak foreign languages."
Ye Cheng had no choice but to believe all that he was seeing was real, she truly could speak.
"Did Brother Qin say his wife learned this foreign language... by herself?"
"It seems so. That’s so impressive, how does her brain even work?"
Lu Yong had always found studying a headache, once so fearful of his father’s punishment for skipping school that he hid up a tree for half a day.
For those who aren’t good at studies... they still deeply admire those who are.
Ye Cheng exclaimed, "Brother Qin really married the best and most outstanding wife this time!"
Not just the belle of their town but now not just an ornament, she was impressive... Honestly, Brother Qin might not even be worthy of her.
Afterward, Rong Yan, Old Xu, and Frank didn’t talk much as her mission for the day was completed, so she and Qin Ye went straight into the hotel.
The couple returned to their room, and Rong Yan asked first, "Have you had dinner?"
Qin Ye had only eaten two steamed buns, "Yes, I have. Have you?"
"I have," Rong Yan answered.
Then, the room fell into a brief silence.
The two exchanged glances, an inexplicable ambiguity in the air.
