Chapter 393 - 367: Too Many Pots to Carry
"Qian, wait for me~"
At the entrance of the Flower Market, Yu Minglang was carrying an empty cage, quickly following Qian.
Qian absolutely couldn’t stay in this place for another second; she needed to find a place to wash her hands quickly. The thought of a rat once squatting on her hands inexplicably irritated her!
"Yu Minglang! From now on, don’t talk to me for five minutes!"
Treasure life, stay away from Yu Xiaoqiang!
Yu Minglang followed Qian pitifully, silently driving, not daring to speak to her, and glanced at Qian with the corner of his eye. To express her anger, she didn’t sit in the passenger seat but ran to the back seat.
Sigh, if an engaged man’s passenger seat isn’t occupied by his wife, it feels so empty inside.
Qian spent the whole trip adjusting her mindset, silently reminding herself several times that today was her big day of engagement. She couldn’t let such a silly little thing ruin the mood, but the feel of the rat seemed to linger on her hands, difficult to ignore!
As they neared the destination, Qian finally asked Yu Minglang.
"Why did you put a rat on my hand?" Just which eye saw her as a woman who liked raising rats?
"Hawkeye bought his sister two rats, and his sister was reportedly thrilled, hugged his neck, and kissed his cheek out of excitement... I wanted to make you happy too."
Qian’s anger slightly subsided, and Yu Minglang secretly glanced at her, continuing.
"I thought if a brother giving his sister a gift made her so happy, then maybe giving it to you could make you happy... maybe even..."
A kiss, a public kiss, how nice.
But somehow, it got messed up.
Qian was practically amused by his anger.
This lack of ambition, a chest without ambition!
She wanted to give something far more precious than a kiss to this silly Xiaoqiang!
"Shi Yu and her brother, even without the rats, she’d need to find an opportunity to take a bite, and that girl just loves these things. You measure me by her aesthetics?!"
Through the aftermath of the kidnapping incident, Shi Touyu’s IQ went up and her values reversed; she made a magnificent comeback and wildly impressed her Qiao Zhen brother. Her status now is much higher than a sister’s; it’s just short of breaking the window paper.
Although Qian once suggested responding to the unchanging with change, teasing Qiao Zhen a bit, Shi Touyu reluctantly pretended to be aloof for a while.
But under the strong allure of male beauty, how long could her aloofness last?
It’s a mystery...
So, when opportunities arise, of course, if you can take a bite, you take a bite, making her brother’s mind spin, thinking over what kind of relationship they should define between them.
After all, they’ve been siblings for over ten years, and trying to shift roles certainly requires a gradual process.
The problem is, Yu Xiaoqiang and her, are completely different situations; what’s he learning from them!
"I thought all girls liked these fluffy little things... quite cute." Yu Minglang was still arguing.
"I don’t like them, nor do I think rats are cute! If you let me carry a cage full of rats home, my mother, Mrs. Jia Xiufang, would definitely think I’m crazy!"
Back in the day, the dry-cleaning shop was infested with rats, and Jia Xiufang put in so much effort to clean them up, buying rat traps and poisons.
Now life’s better, and she’s carrying a cage full of rats back, imagine the psychological shadow area for Jia Xiufang!
"...Then if not hamsters, rabbits would be fine." Yu Minglang was still regretful.
"Yu Xiaoqiang, could it be, you like these things?" Qian seriously doubted from his tone that this guy genuinely liked raising these things!
"How could I like what little girls like, haha..."
The last two characters, he laughed very guiltily.
Qian felt weak all over; she finally understood that heaven is fair.
Given Yu Minglang’s strong physique and excellent IQ, his emotional intelligence... is all added to his IQ, equal to zero!
He does like raising these things!
The new house Mrs. Yu gave to Qian is less than a 20-minute drive from the city center, just far enough from the bustling city, but not too remote; a key elementary school is slated to move in, thus the property prices are expected to rise steadily.
This is a development by Yu Mingli, and Mrs. Yu bought several units from her son at a very low price. The one Yu Minglang brought Qian to has already been transferred to Qian’s name.
Not yet 19, Qian already has an independent house and car in her name; the car is parked downstairs, a Bora given by her big brother. From the car keys, Qian could already tell the brand, but upon seeing the color, she was somewhat stunned.
"Red...?"
At this period, Bora has just opened to the mainland market, considered a mid-to-high-end family sedan, very suitable for girls to drive, but Qian truly had no feelings for such a garishly red color.
"Um, big brother originally wanted to gift you a BMW, but considering you’re still in school, he couldn’t be that flashy."
"Even if you drive a QQ turned red it’s very low-key, right! Can you change the color?"
"...Seems like it can’t be changed."
Qian circled the car left and right; she’s never driven a red car in her life. Big brother’s taste shouldn’t be like this, right? Seeing his aesthetic is quite normal when he buys things for sister-in-law.
"Mei, you don’t like red?" Yu Minglang speculated, asking.
"...A car is akin to a woman’s second purse; I’ve never carried a bag in such flashy colors!"
Yu Minglang couldn’t possibly tell her that when big brother asked for his opinion, he decisively said red, feeling that Mei’s flamboyant color suited her, especially her forehead’s beauty mark, which was strikingly beautiful.
Others didn’t look good with red, only his Mei could handle it. Actually, Yu Minglang had a bit of ambition; when it came time for wedding photos, he hoped Mei would wear the red robe Wang Zuxian wore in "A Chinese Ghost Story," revealing a section of her snow-white long legs. That mesmerizing glance could fascinate many, or that one turn, head lowered, slightly revealing the fragrant shoulder, even just a side profile already a national beauty.
Only a beauty could carry off red, but why doesn’t Mei think that way?
Yu Minglang whispered a bit regretfully.
"I think red looks really good on you, compliments your beauty mark."
"Xiaoqiang, what are you saying?"
Yu Xiaoqiang wasn’t dumb enough to miss Qian’s dislike of the car’s color, so he shamefully concealed that the car’s color was his bad idea given to big brother, using a very serious, very earnest expression, he said to Qian.
"Big brother is such a nouveau riche, just doesn’t know how to buy things, with such a flashy car, how did he choose it? Rich men, just don’t have substance!"
Ah-choo! While working in the company, big brother suddenly sneezed, completely unaware that somewhere, a little brother trying to please his girlfriend was hard at work letting his big brother take the blame.
Indeed, a heavy pot doesn’t feel heavy.
