The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 374: Bro, what are you thinking? (Fourth update, thanks to

"What can I feel about it? As long as your daughter is happy, that’s all that matters. She’s the one who’s going to live her life with him. We can’t live it for her, nor make decisions on her behalf." Dad from the Leng family was quite open-minded."I’m not saying to make decisions for her, but we can help take a look at the kind of person she chooses as her husband. She’s still young, and we wouldn’t want her to choose wrongly." Mom from the Leng family glanced at the brother-sister pair, especially at the older brother. "Weiqiao, don’t you agree?"

"Ah..." Li Wei Qiao was about to agree, but Li Qiqi pinched him hard, prompting him to respond quickly, "Mom, things like this still depend on fate. Who can say for sure where Qiqi’s fate lies?"

Li Qiqi’s action certainly didn’t escape their mother’s sharp eyes. She gave her a fierce glare. "I was asking your brother. Why did you pinch him?"

"What? Me? No, I didn’t." Li Qiqi feigned innocence. "If you don’t believe me, ask him."

Damn! She had bullied her brother for so long that even after suddenly learning the truth—that he wasn’t her biological brother—her years of habits couldn’t change overnight.

Thankfully, her brother didn’t know that she’d uncovered the truth; otherwise, she would’ve been mortified!

"Yeah, Mom, Qiqi didn’t pinch me!" Li Wei Qiao hurriedly reassured.

"Even if your sister claimed the sun in the sky was square, you’d still nod and agree. You think I don’t know that?" Their mom responded with disdain.

Dad from the Leng family couldn’t help but chuckle. Knowing all too well the nature of the two siblings, yet still choosing to speak up—wasn’t that just inviting trouble?

Both Li Wei Qiao and Li Qiqi sat quietly and obediently, not saying a word, allowing their mom to scold them as much as she wanted.

Seeing the two of them entirely unfazed, their mom shifted her focus to their dad once again. "Look at your son and daughter—they’re all spoiled by you. One of these days, they’re going to drive me to my grave."

Despite her words, Mom from the Leng family had a faint feeling that perhaps her wild thought might actually have some merit. After all, wasn’t it obvious how close the two siblings’ relationship was?

Anyone who didn’t know the truth might see their playful banter and mistaken it for the interactions of a young couple.

In the afternoon, Li Wei Qiao arranged for food to be delivered to the hospital. After the family of four ate, their mother urged the siblings to quickly return home to rest, reminding Li Wei Qiao to spend less time on work and more time taking his sister out.

"Got it, Mom. I’ll take good care of Qiqi," Li Wei Qiao promised.

"And don’t forget to take care of yourself. I worry about your sister, but I worry about you too."

"Understood, Mom."

"Alright, alright, you’re getting in the way here. Go on, head back."

...

After the siblings left, their mom turned to their dad and asked if he’d noticed anything.

Dad looked confused. "Noticed what?"

"Your son and daughter, of course."

"What about them? They’re perfectly fine. And don’t be too hard on Weiqiao. Even though he’s not our biological child, he’s been nothing but outstanding all these years. Tell me, which real older brother treats their sister better than Weiqiao does? He takes care of everything himself. Anyone who didn’t know would think those two are real siblings."

"Is that what I meant? Do you have no sense at all?" Their mom was irritated.

Dad was completely clueless as to why his wife was angry. "Then tell me, what do you mean?" Sigh... Women’s thoughts—they’re like a needle at the bottom of the ocean. Even after all these years, he still couldn’t entirely figure out his wife’s mind.

"What do you think about pairing Weiqiao and Qiqi together?"

"Why would you have such a thought?" Dad was shocked. "They’re siblings. Isn’t this ***?" For origınal chapters go to ????????????????????•????????????????•????????????

"What’s chaotic about it? They’re not real siblings."

"But everyone thinks they’re real siblings..." Dad was astonished, wondering if his wife had lost her mind. How else could she come up with such an outrageous idea?

Surely it wasn’t because of something that had happened with Li Qiqi that his wife assumed their daughter wouldn’t find someone else?

That couldn’t be. Not possible!

Their daughter from the Leng family—how could she fail to find a husband? After all, wasn’t their daughter so pure and adorable?

Besides, times had changed. For girls nowadays, dating a few boyfriends wasn’t unusual. Take a look at some of her daughter’s girlfriends; hadn’t they all dated before? It was just that their daughter was too well-behaved since childhood and hadn’t had much interaction with boys due to their strict care. That was why she’d remained single.

"Honey, if you’re worried that Qiqi won’t find someone, there’s no need to at all. It’s modern times now—future sons-in-law wouldn’t mind these things. And besides, it’s not Qiqi’s fault. Just treat it as a bad dream and move on. Qiqi doesn’t dwell on it, so you shouldn’t bring it up again to make her feel sad..."

"I feel like I can’t reason with you. Do you think I’m that kind of person? From now on, pay closer attention to your son and daughter’s interactions, and you’ll understand why I had such thoughts today."

"You mean to say... they..." Dad’s eyes widened in shock. Could it be that their son and daughter already had hidden feelings for each other, concealed from their parents?

"No, not yet. It’s not that fast. I think they’re still unclear about their own emotions, each feeling confused. We won’t bring it up, but we can create more opportunities for them to spend time alone together. If one day they do end up together, you won’t be allowed to oppose it, understand?" Mom issued her ultimatum.

"I still find it hard to believe... Our son suddenly becoming a son-in-law, and our daughter turning into a daughter-in-law..."

"What’s wrong with that? In the end, it’s still within our family. At least we wouldn’t have to worry about our daughter being mistreated by outsiders."

"That’s true. Knowing Weiqiao, even if he suffered himself, he wouldn’t let Qiqi suffer."

"Exactly. So it’s settled then."

Dad: "..." Settled? How come it’s already decided while he’s still feeling completely confused?

It seemed he’d better find some time to sit down and talk to his son, Weiqiao, and figure out what he really thought. He couldn’t let his wife act on her own and create awkward situations for the siblings where they’d feel too embarrassed to face each other.

That would end up backfiring terribly.

Meanwhile, Li Wei Qiao and Li Qiqi had no idea about their parents’ thoughts or reactions. After leaving the hospital, they drove home together.

It was evening, and the city was adorned with bright lights, and the traffic flowed like a rushing river.

In the car, folksy music played. The notes of a hulusi floated alongside the strings of a pipa, while ethereal minority voices echoed within the cabin.

Li Qiqi occasionally analyzed her brother out of the corner of her eye. She’d always known her brother was handsome; otherwise, back in high school, she wouldn’t have kept finding love letters tucked into his backpack.

In the workplace, her brother’s admirers were countless too. She herself had become the target of quite a few girls trying to win over her brother, gifting her desserts, trinkets, perfumes.

However, this was the first time she’d carefully examined her brother’s features. A few strands of hair hung loosely over his forehead, his brows neither thick nor thin, framed by distinct peaks—precisely the shape she liked.

His nose was prominent, though not rounded like most of the Leng family’s. In particular, the slightly larger tip was said to be associated with men who were especially sensual. She thought his future wife would be quite lucky.

Moreover, her brother’s lips weren’t the trendy thin kind. His upper lip was slim, while the lower one was plump and shaped in a full, curved arc, naturally lifting at the corners into an ever-present smile.

And when he truly smiled, a warm sense of friendliness emanated from him, making people feel at ease, wanting to draw closer to him.

Perhaps her gaze was too focused because Li Wei Qiao noticed her staring. Feeling the strange atmosphere, but wanting to ease the awkwardness, he chuckled and said, "Staring at your brother like that—what, did you suddenly realize your brother is very handsome?"
