Breakfast was laid out on the table in the main room.

Fu Mingxue washed her face, walked to the table, and sat down.

Qin Wenhao walked in as well.

"I bought you some xiaolongbao and wontons from that place at the entrance to the alley. They’re pretty good."

Fu Mingxue knew which place he meant. After all, when she got tired of her mom’s cooking, she would sometimes go out and buy something herself.

People were getting bolder these days. Many had set up stalls to sell food.

The two ate together. When Fu Mingxue couldn’t eat any more, Qin Wenhao finished off all the leftovers.

After Qin Wenhao cleared away the dishes, he said to Fu Mingxue,

"I think Mom will be back today. I’ll go to the train station in a bit to check. If they are coming back today, their train probably arrives at ten o’clock."

Fu Mingxue considered the timing. It was indeed about time they returned.

Her mom wouldn’t have stayed there for long.

Besides, Qin Wenshu was with her.

"Okay, you should go pick them up then. In a little while, I’ll head over to Mom’s place."

Qin Wenhao immediately replied, "Go later! It’s still too early to head to the train station, anyway."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’I’m not going to the train station. We’re not even going the same way!’

"I finally have a half-day off—" ’Shouldn’t I get to spend a little more time with my child?’

But before she could finish her sentence, Qin Wenhao interrupted her, "You finally have a half-day off, so you should spend it talking with me. I’ll go get a car at eight-thirty to head to the station and pick them up."

He fixed Fu Mingxue with a burning gaze as he spoke.

His intense gaze made Fu Mingxue blush and her heart pound.

’She had to admit, he was an incredibly handsome man.’

’As the young women of the future would say—so handsome he could shatter the firmament.’

"What do you want to talk about?"

"We can talk about anything. I just want to be with you like this."

’He cherished these private moments, with no one else around to disturb them.’

’Just like last night... that had been his happiest, most thrilling night.’

’It had been so wonderful for both of them.’

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’She realized they didn’t really have much to talk about.’

"By the way, your older brother and that Gao Lan have moved out."

Qin Wenhao’s brow furrowed at once.

’Why are we talking about them?’

Fu Mingxue spoke again, "By the way, you know about everything that happened with Gao Lan, right?"

Qin Wenhao: ?...

’Why does she insist on talking about them?’

’He didn’t want to hear about those two in the slightest.’

’But seeing his wife finally making some small talk with him... oh well. As long as she’s happy, that’s what matters.’

He immediately shook his head. "I don’t know. When I got back yesterday, I just had dinner and then came here to clean. I didn’t have the time."

Of course, the main reason was that his parents knew he couldn’t care less about Qin Wenze and Gao Lan, so they had never mentioned it to him.

Fu Mingxue briefly mentioned a few things but didn’t elaborate.

Because she could see his expression had soured.

Qin Wenhao: ...?

He was in a very bad mood.

’He really hadn’t known any of this.’

’If he could, he’d love to beat Qin Wenze to a pulp. Or maybe pry open his head and see if it was filled with shit.’

’Otherwise, how could he be so damn stupid?’

"Are you angry?" Fu Mingxue asked him.

’It wasn’t that she particularly wanted to bring it up, but it was a Qin family affair. She felt Qin Wenhao ought to know.’

"No. What’s there to be angry about? Why would I get angry over an idiot?" Qin Wenhao sneered.

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’And you call *that* not being angry?’

"By the way, the First Auto Factory gave me a big bonus," Fu Mingxue said, deciding to be transparent about the money.
