Chapter 442: Chapter 472: Everything Falls into Place
Qin Jiao chuckled. "What, not interested in the slightest? I’ll take it back, then!"
Shen Yi quickly swept her up into his arms. "Too late!"
It was hard to say why, but ever since they had truly opened up to each other, everything just clicked. Sometimes, a single glance was all it took for them to understand one another completely.
Everything fell into place naturally.
It was as if everything was fated to be.
After their lively activities, Qin Jiao lay there, lazily wrapped in the quilt. Shen Yi first emptied the basin of foot-washing water, then tidied up the mess before finally turning off the lights and slipping into bed.
Qin Jiao kicked him. "You’re too cold!"
"It’s fine. I’ll warm up in a bit."
A certain someone’s shameless persistence was getting more and more refined. He hugged his soft, delicate wife and started plotting aloud, "The bathroom in the new house is huge. We can install a bathtub. It’s a shame they don’t have jacuzzis yet, but that’s okay. I’ll give you a massage."
"Get out of here." Qin Jiao shifted her position. "I don’t want to move out of the courtyard house just yet."
She planned to buy a house for her parents, but not right now. If it hadn’t been for the clothing factory business, her grand money-making plan would have already been set in motion.
Still, it wasn’t too late to start now.
Besides, it was good that her parents could get some practice at the clothing factory.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi kissed her hair and said, "We won’t move. We’ll just furnish that little home of ours. Sometimes, if we can’t make it back here in time, we can stay there. Or if there’s a bad storm and it’s inconvenient to come back, we can spend the night. Plus, if you have classes in both the morning and afternoon, you could take a nap there during the lunch break and get some rest."
Although Shen Yi wished he could have his Jiao Jiao all to himself right now, he knew how much her family meant to her.
Not to mention, her grandfather was also living in the courtyard house now. Shen Yi couldn’t bear the thought of the old man being all alone, especially since his own mother was still on her honeymoon abroad and there was no telling when she’d be back.
Hearing him put it that way, Qin Jiao was a little tempted. She thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then. Let’s wait until the day after tomorrow. I have to go with my mom tomorrow to buy supplies for the New Year. It’s just around the corner, and we still need to buy some things to mail back to our hometown."
"Deal. I’ll drive you guys tomorrow!"
Most men don’t like shopping, and Shen Yi especially hated it.
’But if it means I get to accompany my wife and curry favor with my mother-in-law, I have to endure it, no matter how unpleasant, right?’
He had endured so much over the past few years. Just walking around and carrying some bags was no big deal.
The young couple slept sweetly. The next morning, the weather was quite nice. Sunlight glistened on the snow, casting a beautiful golden glow.
Since it was a holiday and the weather was good, Su Yun decided to bring Xiao Shi and Xiao Cheng along as well.
Sun Jianhua and Qin Na were busy at the clothing factory every day now, so besides his time at school, Xiao Cheng spent all his time with Xiao Shi. As a result, he was growing closer and closer to Su Yun.
A year older now, he was much more lively and sensible. Sometimes, when he saw Su Yun was tired and thirsty from working, he would even pour her a glass of water on his own initiative.
Su Yun often lamented about it, wondering what his mother could have possibly been thinking back then. So heartless, to abandon such a wonderful child just like that.
She could understand it, to a degree. They were poor and couldn’t make ends meet, Sun Jianhua had been deceived, and the woman probably felt there was no future and wanted to leave.
But the child was innocent.
Qin Jiao said, "Xiao Cheng is a good, sensible boy. His good days are still ahead of him. Besides, my aunt is wonderful to him and treats him like her own son. My uncle is a steady, hardworking man, too. The three of them will have a good life in the future."
Qin Jiao spoke with confidence. She knew that her uncle, Sun Jianhua, would become a rich man in the future.
