Chapter 471: But respecting her is his first lesson

However, the reason for speaking up today is something else.

"When we return to Beijing, Qiuhua and I want to get married directly," Qian Zhao said, looking at Zhao Qiuhua with a smile in his eyes.

That crisp and capable Hua, at this moment, had earlobes that were slightly flushed.

Her entire facial expression also softened a bit.

Wow, so Hua is shy too!

An Yinan thought to herself, but did not say it out loud.

"Hua, are you shy?" However, there was a simpleton who said this sentence directly.

Who else could it be but Xie Yuanyuan?

An Yinan covered her eyes, "Hit her, I can't see anything!"

Xie Shuyang was also a bit helpless, then stood up and stood in front of Yuanyuan, "If there is anything I can help with, just say the word."

Zhao Qiuhua, who had just raised her hand to strike, looked at Xie Shuyang, then looked at Xie Yuanyuan, and finally put it down.

People who are favored are just this fearless!

"I won't be polite then!" Zhao Qiuhua said.

Xie Shuyang nodded with a good temper, "No need to be polite!"

"I'll let you off!" Zhao Qiuhua wrinkled her nose at Xie Yuanyuan.

Xie Yuanyuan smiled ingratiatingly; she had just been quick-tongued, and being with her friends, she didn't want to think before she spoke—how tiring would that be?

As for her personality, who else but Xie Shuyang spoiled her?

An Yinan smiled and shook her head.

"When are your parents coming over?" An Yinan asked.

Hua's family treated them very well, and Qian Zhao was also someone who had been officially acknowledged; if it weren't for Hua holding them back, she reckoned Zhao's parents would have already rushed over to force the two of them to get married.

After all, Hua was no longer young, and her family was very anxious.

"Qian Zhao, don't you need to notify your parents?" Zhao Qiuhua didn't avoid everyone either; everyone knew the ins and outs of each other's business, and there was nothing to hide or cover up.

Qian Zhao froze for a moment, then shook his head, "From the day I went to the countryside, I have been without parents."

The sentence he didn't say was: without anyone to rely on!

Zhao Qiuhua held his hand; even if he didn't say it, how could she not understand?

"You have me!"

She smiled, and on her heroic face was a bright smile, several degrees brighter than the sunlight.

"Right!" Qian Zhao also held her hand; he had her by his side.

From now on, her family would be his family.

Her friends had always been his friends.

"With so many people watching, as if anyone is lacking," Xie Yuanyuan took Xie Shuyang's hand.

Xie Shuyang looked at that quirky little girl, the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably.

Chen Xun and Yun Qi walked in from outside and looked at the strange atmosphere in the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xun looked at An Yinan.

An Yinan took his hand, fingers interlaced, "As if anyone is lacking!"

Everyone smiled and looked at Li Xiue; Li Xiue was naturally fair-skinned, and at this moment, her face carried a hint of a smile.

Yun Qi looked and understood!

He looked at An Yinan; it wasn't easy to say anything to others, after all, they weren't familiar, so he could only take his sister to task, "Naughty!"

An Yinan shook Chen Xun's hand, "Xunge, he's bullying me!"

How wronged Yun Qi was; would he dare to bully her?

Never mind what Chen Xun would do, even the family would tear him apart.

And his girlfriend would probably deal with him too, right?

He looked at Li Xiue aggrievedly; Li Xiue, who had just been shy, walked over and poked An Yinan—could she not know what kind of personality this little girl had?

She reached out her hand and looked at Yun Qi with watery eyes, "Is this okay?"

The calm Yun Qi was now feeling his heart race; he wiped his hand on the side of his trousers—his palms had been covered in sweat due to nervousness just now.

"Is this okay?" he asked nervously, also reaching out his hand.

He didn't want her to be pushed along; they could have their own rhythm, a rhythm she was comfortable with.

She had never been in a relationship, and her personality was on the slower side; he hoped even more to slowly adjust and walk forward together.

He would naturally accommodate her.

Li Xiue smiled and placed her hand on his; her originally nervous heart suddenly settled down when she felt that sticky sweat.

Was he seemingly more nervous than her?

Sweat had already broken out on Yun Qi's forehead, and even though he wiped it again and again, he couldn't control it.

An Yinan saw her second brother's flustered appearance; no matter how strategic a person is, when facing the person they like, everyone is the same!

If not, that only proves they don't love them that much.

"Don't panic." Li Xiue looked into Yun Qi's eyes and said softly.

Her words were very light, and her voice was already small; Yun Qi didn't even hear clearly what she said, as all the heat in his body was now gathered in his palm, on that little hand he was holding.

"I said, you don't need to panic."

Li Xiue stood on tiptoe, and Yun Qi lowered his head in cooperation; once close, the scent representing the girl lingered at the tip of his nose.

"Okay." He heard clearly what Xiue said, but his heart was even more flustered.

At this time, An Yinan, holding Chen Xun with one hand, gave Zhao Qiuhua a wink, "Let's go to my place and discuss how to decorate the shop."

Pretending?

Stop pretending!

We haven't even found the shop yet!

Zhao Qiuhua nodded, "Alright."

She pulled Qian Zhao along and followed.

Xie Yuanyuan, who had always been rather slow, looked at the two pairs about to leave, then looked at the pair in the courtyard.

"Come back to my courtyard and look at the sunflowers Aunt Li planted for me; we can even eat sunflower seeds in the autumn!"

"Let me tell you..."

In the time it took to speak, the two of them had already left.

Yun Qi and Li Xiue exchanged a smile, and the people in each of the courtyards also exchanged smiles.

"It's okay, we can go at our own pace." Yun Qi let go of her hand; even though he felt reluctant, as if a cat's claws were scratching at him, itchy, yet he was still loath to part.

But respecting her was his first lesson.

Seeing his expression, Li Xiue pursed her lips and smiled.

She suddenly realized that her previous worries seemed to have been nothing but groundless fears.

She used to think he was calculating and, furthermore, someone walking the path of politics; which of them didn't have a black heart?

But the more she interacted with him, the more she discovered that he was very different.

No matter how he was toward other places, when it came to her, he would be nervous, he would be happy, and he would be satisfied like a child; this side of him was something she had discovered slowly.

"If it's something I don't want, no one can push me to do it." Li Xiue did not let go; instead, she gripped his hand tighter.

That hand, full of sweat, was now even warmer.

"So..." Yun Qi's eyes lit up; for so many days, they had been lukewarm and distant, and he had thought she was unwilling.

He hadn't expected this!

She had given him such a huge surprise.

Li Xiue smiled, "You blockhead!"

Immediately, her cheeks turned red.

She did not yearn for familial affection, because familial affection had already disappointed her.

She had longed for romantic love, but having seen Nan Nan and Qiu Hua, she knew there would be a very, very good person waiting for her not far ahead.

But she tilted her head and looked at Yun Qi; Yun Qi's eyes were now filled entirely with her reflection.

She hadn't expected that the one waiting for her would be so wonderful!
