BXBX NOVEL Chapter 17
Qin Haowen took a bag of candy from the gift box, opened it, and stuffed it into the two of them, “Have a taste, is it good?”
Seeing this, Li Xu stopped him, “Big Brother, don’t open it…”
Cheng Shuqin pressed Li Xu’s hand down, “Don’t worry about him. He loves to play with children. We look about the same age. I don’t know whether to call you Little Sister or Big Sister.”
Li Xu retracted her gaze and said with a smile, “I was born at 1964.”
Cheng Shuqin said in surprise, “I’m also from 1964. What month are you?”
“I’m August.”
Cheng Shuqin smiled and said, “Then I’m a few months older than you. You have to call me Big Sis.”
On the other side, Qin Haowen asked curiously, “Isn’t today Tuesday? Why aren’t the children in school?”
As he spoke, he opened another chocolate and placed it in Ji Yuanyuan’s hand.
He didn’t have a daughter, so when he saw how cute Ji Yuanyuan was, he couldn’t help but stroke her head, causing her braids to become crooked.
Li Yong said somewhat helplessly, “The children’s household registration is still at the father’s place. It’s too far for them to go to school there, so it’s not convenient. It’s not easy to move my sister and the children’s household registration back now.”
Qin Haowen nodded thoughtfully, obviously listening to this matter.
This was the first time Ji Zi’ang had eaten chocolate in his life. His eyes lit up as he looked at Qin Haowen.
Qin Haowen smiled and gave the remaining box to Ji Zi’ang, “If you like it, I’ll mail it to you when I get back.”
Ji Zi’ang’s voice was clear and bright, “Thank you, Uncle.”
“Sister, it’s all thanks to you. I heard from Mucheng that if it weren’t for you…” Cheng Shuqin said with a choked voice.
Li Xu was also a mother, so she could naturally understand Cheng Shuqin’s feelings.
She held Cheng Shuqin’s hand, “Big Sis, please don’t say that. We didn’t do anything, Mucheng is the smart one.”
Cheng Shuqin waved at Ji Yuanyuan, who had been standing beside Li Xu.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at his mother-in-law from his previous life and couldn’t help but stand in front of her.
Cheng Shuqin was a very good person. Before Qin Haowen passed away, she had always been very good to Ji Yuanyuan.
“What’s your name?” Cheng Shuqin asked gently.
“My name is Ji Yuanyuan.”
“Auntie doesn’t have a daughter. How about you be Auntie’s daughter?” After saying that, without waiting for Ji Yuanyuan’s reply…, she looked at Li Xu with a smile, “Sister, our families are fated. What I mean is, why don’t we acknowledge her as a goddaughter and treat each other as relatives from now on?”
Li Xu was a little overwhelmed by the favor. This family was obviously rich or noble, but wanted to tie a kinship knot as the godparents of a widowed mother…
Ji Yuanyuan resisted in her heart. Oh No, I don’t want to be your goddaughter. I want to be your daughter-in-law in the future.
Ji Zi’ang stuffed his mouth full of chocolate and muttered, “Why don’t just get a child betrothal? My sister likes Mucheng.”
Ji Zi’ang’s words made everyone laugh. Li Yong smiled and flicked his head, “You’re just a child, do you know what liking is?”
Ji Zi’ang tilted his head and looked very serious, “It’s true, Yuanyuan has always been looking at him. He’s so good-looking. If I were a girl, I’d like him too.”
Qin Mucheng’s face instantly turned livid. No one knew if he was shy or angry.
However, Ji Yuanyuan gave Ji Zi’ang a thumbs up in her heart. As expected of my second brother. He just understands me.
The old man was amused by Ji Zi’ang’s words and laughed out loud, “Then, let’s do it this way. Let’s set up a child betrothal. In the future, we’ll be even closer.”
Li Xu was shocked, “That won’t do…”
Although she was only a rural woman, she knew a lot of things in her heart.
Their family was just an ordinary family in the countryside, and the other party was obviously not an ordinary family.
If they were not of the same family, there would definitely be resentment in the future.
“Yuanyuan, do you like Brother Mucheng?” Cheng Shuqin thought for a moment and asked.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, “I do.”
Cheng Shuqin looked at Qin Mucheng again. “Mucheng, do you like this little sister?”
Qin Mucheng pursed his lips and looked carefully at Ji Yuanyuan before nodding.
He liked this pretty little sister.
Of course, Qin Mucheng was still very young, so he didn’t know if it was like or another kind of like.
Cheng Shuqin looked at Li Xu with a smile, “Sister, I know what you’re worried about. Nowadays, free love is the most important thing. The children’s preferences are the most important. Now that both children like each other, let’s get the child betrothal. In the future, if one of them doesn’t like the other or has someone else that they like, then let’s become godparents and not force them to be together. How about that?”
Li Xu was still a little hesitant as she looked at Ji Yuanyuan with an awkward expression.
She did not expect her daughter to marry such an outstanding person in the future. As long as Yuanyuan could be happy forever, that would be enough.
Qin Xiaomin naturally knew what Li Xu was worried about. However, this was a rare opportunity. She could not wait to agree on Li Xu’s behalf right now.
Although they both had the surname Qin, their family’s Qin was different from Qin Mucheng’s Qin.
The Qin family had hundreds of years of heritage. One could imagine how rich their family was.
Qin Mucheng’s branch was the main branch. The accumulated wealth of the Qin family since ancient times was all in that branch.
And they were only a side branch. Because they had a closer relationship with the Qin family, they had kept in touch over the years.
The old man had traveled all over the world. What kind of people had he not seen? Naturally, he could see through Li Xu’s thoughts.
The old man was even more satisfied with this family.
He did not covet wealth and status. He always thought of his children in everything.
...
“That’s it. You guys take a look at what token to exchange. Let’s be relatives for the time being.”
Hearing this, Qin Haowen immediately took off the jade pendant on Qin Mucheng’s neck, “This will do.”
With that, he went forward and put it on Ji Yuanyuan’s neck. “This was worn by your brother Mucheng since he was young. It can ensure your safety in the future.”
Seeing this, Li Yong quickly went forward and pushed Li Xu, “Sister, what does Yuanyuan have on him?”
Li Xu came back to her senses and felt worried.
There was nothing valuable on Ji Yuanyuan’s body.
Cheng Shuqin saw the peach pit on Ji Yuanyuan’s wrist at a glance.
She smiled and said, “How about this? It’s good for warding off evil.”
Seeing this, Li Yong quickly took it off and put it on Qin Mucheng’s hand.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the jade pendant on her neck and was momentarily absent-minded.
This jade pendant had once been worn on her neck in her previous life.
...
On the second day after the wedding, Qin Mucheng casually gave it to her.
So, it was something that he had worn since he was young?
Qin Mucheng held the small peach pit in his hand and secretly looked at Ji Yuanyuan.
However, when Ji Yuanyuan looked over, he quickly lowered his head.
Like a little wife, Ji Yuanyuan pursed her lips and thought.
