Additionally, Qin Xiaotao had a very good temper, always speaking softly to Hu Shanshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Qin Xiaotao wasn’t bad-looking. With Qin Yun being handsome and his two sisters Qin Xuan and Qin Lu being pretty, the Qin Family’s genes were strong, so how bad could Qin Xiaotao look?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Qin Xiaotao was very skinny, often bowing his head and looking dispirited due to low self-esteem. But now, he’s become more confident and gained some weight, looking entirely different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Shanshan nodded and accepted the gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From initial gratitude, she had now become accustomed to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yue, let me and your sister take you back first.\" Looking at Zhou Yue, Qin Xiaotao said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhou Yue immediately smiled sweetly and said, \"Thank you, brother-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Xiaotao drove Hu Shanshan’s cousin back first and then took Hu Shanshan to a movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today’s domestic movies are so disappointing, with random plots thrown together,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the movie, Hu Shanshan commented, \"But the promotion was quite good, and the movie rating was also decent, probably because a lot of people were hired to give good reviews.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Xiaotao nodded and said in agreement, \"I saw online that the box office might exceed a billion, but I think it’s difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a moment and said, \"Shanshan, let’s watch another movie next time we take a break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" Hu Shanshan replied casually, \"If I have things to do, I’ll let you know in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, come and catch me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, they’re kissing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, laughter and cheerful voices echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Christmas Eve, the streets were filled with young couples strolling around, looking sweet, even kissing publicly, making others envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Xiaotao glanced over and then retracted his gaze, looking at Hu Shanshan beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, during his time at university, he didn’t dare to pursue girls because of his family situation. He liked Hu Shanshan but never dared to show his feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when they ran into each other before in Jinling, he didn’t dare to make a move, as his underlying insecurity made him feel unworthy of Hu Shanshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, months later, he’s no longer the same insecure guy he used to be. As Qin Yun’s business expanded, his salary also increased, now reaching over nine thousand a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Money builds courage, and he’s becoming more and more confident now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shanshan,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Qin Xiaotao spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Qin Xiaotao’s words, Hu Shanshan was taken aback and looked at him in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Xiaotao felt his heartbeat quickly accelerating; looking at Hu Shanshan, he finally said after a long pause, \"Can you not go back tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was low; evidently, Qin Xiaotao wasn’t good at saying such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Qin Xiaotao felt an instant calmness take over, and his previously racing heart suddenly steadied as he looked at Hu Shanshan, waiting for her answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Shanshan obviously heard it clearly and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been in a relationship for nearly three months, and Qin Xiaotao had treated her very well, being the most ideal choice for a husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon really hearing this, she subconsciously felt a touch of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaotao, I want to wait until we’re married...\" Hu Shanshan looked at Qin Xiaotao and said hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s also uncertain about her feelings for Qin Xiaotao, as there was no rejection in their normal interactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, a flash of disappointment appeared in Qin Xiaotao’s eyes, but he didn’t insist. Instead, he nodded and said, \"Okay, I’ll wait for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his head and smiled foolishly, which made Hu Shanshan’s heart feel even more restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy in front of her was genuinely good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... I’ll take you back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous topic clearly made the atmosphere a bit awkward, especially for the somewhat straightforward Qin Xiaotao, who thought for a moment before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" Hu Shanshan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them fell silent once more. After dropping Hu Shanshan off, Zhou Yue looked at them in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving in Jinling, Zhou Yue lived with Hu Shanshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, Zhou Yue thought her cousin wouldn’t be coming back tonight. She was in her rental, chatting with friends, and scrolling Douyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shanshan, have a good rest at home. I’m leaving now,\" Qin Xiaotao said, turning and walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis, what’s going on between you and brother-in-law...\" Zhou Yue was clearly confused and couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Shanshan didn’t reply, just watched Qin Xiaotao’s departing figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I like Qin Xiaotao?\" Hu Shanshan questioned herself internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these months, she had grown accustomed to Qin Xiaotao’s presence, having a boy next to her who had everything arranged perfectly, making brown sugar water for her during her special time, and without hesitation, buying anything she liked...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single thing made him the best candidate for a partner, and she had never met a boy this good before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, why was there a slight resistance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Shanshan felt a bit lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Jiangyuan University, Qin Yun strolled around the campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qin Yun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he arrived, a joyful voice came through, followed by a girl quickly running over. The girl, Lin Mengmeng, was sweet and cute-looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qin Yun, have you eaten?\" Lin Mengmeng asked, tilting her head shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have,\" Qin Yun replied, \"What did you need me for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Qin Yun’s answer, Lin Mengmeng seemed a bit disappointed but took out a red Apple from her pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She handed the Apple to Qin Yun, her face blushing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her expression, Qin Yun was helpless. Somehow, this silly girl had fallen for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had said it many times before, but Lin Mengmeng still didn’t give up, insisting that since he didn’t currently have a girlfriend, she still had a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, he stopped saying anything about it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1151,"2026-06-06T12:28:30.880Z",1,"novelbin.me","f46a4cef917932cd5e18eceef2131d1751f524528f22891cac8e3a747100a1f3","i-have-a-wealth-gathering-array-chapter-190","i-have-a-wealth-gathering-array-chapter-188",566,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-a-wealth-gathering-array-cover.jpg"]
