Chapter 257: Asking About Someone

Since her daughter-in-law said so, Mrs. Qin didn’t press the issue.

This time, she took a careful look at her daughter-in-law—and her eyes immediately crinkled with a smile.

’Her daughter-in-law and son had finally become a true husband and wife.’

Back in Beijing City, she had known that her daughter-in-law was still a virgin.

Fu Mingxue felt a little creeped out by her smile. ’Why is Mother-in-law smiling like that?’

She joked, "Mom, why are you looking at me like that? Did you realize your daughter-in-law has gotten even more beautiful?"

Mrs. Qin’s smile deepened.

"Mingxue has always been beautiful, and now she’s even more so." Her daughter-in-law was indeed a beauty.

And yet, her beauty was the least of her admirable qualities.

"By the way, have you eaten dinner yet?"

Fu Mingxue immediately replied, "I’ve eaten. I ate at the cafeteria today. Since there was nothing else important to do this evening, I came back early. You’ve been to see Qin Wenhao, right?"

"We have!" Mrs. Qin had no desire to talk about her son.

"He seems to be recovering just fine, so don’t you worry about him. Your work is what’s important."

"Besides, with the way he recovers, he’ll probably be out of bed, walking and jumping by tomorrow."

Fu Mingxue: ?...

’Jump?’

’That’s a bit of an exaggeration.’

’Even if that Doctor Xie has superb medical skills, it wouldn’t be that fast.’

’If he actually tried to jump, all his stitches would probably burst open.’

"Mom, I’m going to take a shower. We can talk in a bit."

’Good thing Qin Wenshu isn’t here.’

She hurried off to take a shower.

"Alright, you go on ahead!"

Meanwhile, Qin Wenshu rode the bicycle all the way to the hospital without stopping.

When Qin Wenhao saw him, he raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here? Are you staying at the guesthouse?"

"No, my sister-in-law got off work and went home, so I borrowed her bike to come for a ride. I’ll head back in a little while."

"Brother Wenhao, I’m telling you, I’ve never met a woman as capable as her. She’s truly incredible."

"When we go back to Beijing, I’m going to ask my sister-in-law to install a small electric motor on my bike, too."

’Riding a bike at the speed of a car is just too awesome!’

Qin Wenhao rolled his eyes at him. "Of course. That’s my wife, how could she not be incredible? But you can forget about that idea. In the future, you can just go buy one from a store, can’t you? They’ll be for sale."

’He wants my wife to modify his bike for him? Heh, not a chance. I’m her husband and I don’t even have one yet.’

Qin Wenshu’s eyes lit up. ’If they’re for sale, that works too!’

’I’ll go check out the stores when I get back.’

Then, he remembered what the girl from the Art Troupe had said.

"Oh right, Brother Wenhao, I wanted to ask you about someone. That Ruan Hongfei, do you know her?"

As soon as Qin Wenhao heard the name, his expression instantly darkened.

He shot a sharp look at Qin Wenshu. "Why are you asking about her? Don’t tell me someone tried to set you up with her, did they?"

Qin Wenshu’s eyes widened. "Brother Wenhao, how did you know?"

Qin Wenhao’s face grew even darker.

"But don’t worry, nothing came of it. It’s just that Ruan Hongfei won’t stop pestering me—" Qin Wenshu was also very frustrated.

’What rotten luck... how did I get tangled up with those two?’

’First, it was Zhao Sisi, and now it’s this Ruan Hongfei.’

’They have absolutely no idea what shame is.’

’After all, what other girl would dare to be so forward with a man she just met?’

Qin Wenhao: ...?

"That Ruan Hongfei was the one who was kicked out of the Art Troupe. She spread rumors that I was involved with her and caused a scene at your sister-in-law’s factory."

His words left Qin Wenshu utterly shocked. "What? She... she and you?"

Qin Wenhao’s face was thunderous, and a low pressure seemed to emanate from him.

"I barely know her, so don’t lump me together with her. Anyway, she’s a person of bad character. You can’t marry her."

"And another thing, when you get back to Beijing, stay far away from her. If she pulls some kind of trick on you, you’ll be forced to marry her whether you want to or not."
