The next morning, Han Shi, after freshening up, rummaged through a drawer to find the family register.
Gazing at it, he shook his head in resignation, looking towards the still-sleeping Qin Xi on the bed, and then descended the stairs with the register in hand.
“Xi is still asleep?” asked Luo Xiujuan as she saw him coming downstairs.
Han Shi reminded, “Mom, after Xi wakes up, ask her to look for me. Tell her that I need her help with something very important.”
“Oh, ok…” Luo Xiujuan nodded. Then, she looked at him and hesitated.
Han Shi sat at the dining table while putting on his clothes. He raised his eyebrows. “Mom, is there anything else?”
Luo Xiujuan struggled to articulate her thoughts, finally speaking up, “Son, what do you think of Qi Mingting? If I agree to be with him, would you be uncomfortable?”
Han Shi was a little surprised. “Mom, have you finally thought it through?”
“It’s not that I’ve thought it through. I just feel that he’s a good person.
Although I don’t have much feelings for him, I don’t want to miss him.” Luo Xiujuan sat opposite Han Shi with a sigh. “But I’ll let your father down by doing this…”
“Don’t think too much. If my father knew that you could figure it out, he would definitely be happy for you,” Han Shi comforted. “If it were you, would you be willing to watch the person you care about be alone for the rest of your life?” “I know that, but I just can’t bring myself to do it.”
“Don’t think too much. We have to look forward. Xi and I are very worried about you being alone. Besides, Xi has also read Qi Mingting’s face and said that the two of you are fated. You’ve had a hard life. Don’t be tied to responsibilities.
Think about yourself.”
When Luo Xiujuan heard her son’s words, her eyes turned slightly red and she felt a lump in her throat. “But your grandpa…”
Han Shi was amused. “Grandpa said long ago that he treats you like his daughter. If I tell him now, he’ll definitely come back from the capital. Do you believe me?”
“Let’s not tell him this for now. Let’s talk about it after things stabilize!” Luo Xiujuan said in embarra.s.sment.
Han Shi seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, “Mom, if you want to hold a wedding, it’s best to do it before November. After that, you’ll have to help take care of Xi.”
“I’m already so old. Why would I hold a wedding? Also, is Xi going to give birth in the capital? There will be plenty of people queueing up to take care of her.”
Mu Min and Old Madam Chu would fight to take care of Qin Xi. She probably wouldn’t even be able to touch the child.
“Look at what you’re saying. Are you complaining that Xi and I are not having enough children?” Han Shi teased. “Besides, it’s just a son, not a daughter. There’s no need for you to fight with them over him.”
Luo Xiujuan pressed her fingertips against his head and pushed him. She said angrily, “What’s wrong with you, kid? You’re a boy yourself. You don’t even have a son and yet you are already biased towards daughters. Be careful or Xi will teach you a lesson.”
Han Shi was not ashamed of it. Instead, he was proud of it. “So be it. Everyone knows I’m henpecked.”
Seeing that he was hopeless, Luo Xiujuan said, “Alright, the buns are almost ready. I’ll serve them to you. After eating, we’ll go to work together.”
At the Qi family’s villa.
“Dad, I heard that you proposed to Auntie Luo. How did it go?” Qi Mingting’s son, Qi Xiao, asked with a smile when he saw his father sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper.
Qi Mingting’s face darkened and he put down the newspaper. “Why are you asking so many questions? Just take care of your company.”
Qi Xiao said, “I’m just concerned about you.. However, looking at your dark face, you must have been rejected again!”
