Chapter 19 – Outing

Although Qin Xiangnan was busy at work, she some took time to return to her parent’s house. In addition to moving out because of work, one of the reason was because Zhao Mei urges her to get married, she felt annoyed and rarely goes home because of it.

Just after returning home, Zhao Mei started again the marriage promotion mode just like before.

“Xiao Nan, the old Liu family next door has recently have another grandson. His son is two years younger than you.”

“Really? That’s good.”

“A few days ago, Aunt Chen came over and gave us candy. Her daughter got married right after graduating college. Hey, it’s really fast.”

“So fast.”

“What about you, when will you bring back a boyfriend for us to see?”

“I’m not in a hurry and I’ve been busy recently.”

“Let’s go to a blind date. Whether you are busy or not this weekend, if you don’t want to go, I will not care about you in the future. When you get busy, you won’t have the time to visit me and your Dad.” Zhao Mei finally made a cruel remark.

“Meimei, why are you saying this? I have no problem if you don’t want Xiao Nan to visit you. But Xiao Nan is my baby daughter and I want to see her often.” Qin Chaoming, who was watching TV suddenly spoke up.

Qin Chaoming has been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for many years, and his physical condition is sometimes good, sometimes bad, and his life is always sloppy. Sometimes, people don’t even recognize that he is suffering from the disease. But even if he is confused, he still remembered that Qin Xiangnan is his baby daughter. After Qin Chaoming spoke up, the argument was conceded. The raw that Qin Xiangnan had with Zhao Mei soon disappeared.

“Mom, my dad said that he wanted to see me, won’t you welcome your daughter?”

“Then, do you want to go this weekend? If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to come back.”

“Going or not, don’t be angry Mom.” Qin Xiangnan gave Zhao Mei a charming look and spoke flatteringly.

Zhao Mei really hates this act, and every time she chats with her daughter about this topic, Qin Xiangnan pretends to be stupid.

“Xiao Nan, let me tell you the truth. Your Aunt Chen wanted to introduce you to someone the other day. I think that person is really good. I heard that he has started a small business. This weekend, you’ll meet him.”

“Mom, you didn’t even tell me about it yet you’ve already promised them.” Qin Xiangnan was very angry.

“Just meet up, it doesn’t mean that you’re gonna marry right away. I promised that. See, there’s nothing to lose.”

Qin Xiangnan said angrily: “I’m not free.”

“This child. I’m really annoyed. How old are you, yet all you do is work. You haven’t live with us, there is no one to take care of you. Just thinking about that made me not eat for a while. How can you assure us, your parents? You and your brother, from an early age, will not let us worry. I never thought that after working and earning money, you’ll be proud and not let us worry about it. What did you two do? Are you here to collect debts?” Zhao Mei said more and got worked up, she was really angry with her daughter.

Qin Xiangnan had no choice but to promise Zhao Mei to meet her blind date on the weekend.

“Xiao Nan, how does it feel to meet the person today? I heard Aunt Chen said that the other party is very satisfied with you and wants to develop your relationship further. I see that this person is really sincere, you can try to develop your relationship, okay?”

She wasn’t dressed up that day and went out as usual.

At the agreed place, Qin Xiangnan met her blind date. The other person wore glasses, a flat head, and looks okay. At first glance, Qin Xiangnan classified him into a reliable and honest type.

“Hello, I am Qin Xiangnan. May I ask, are you Wang Mingyan?” She asked the other party.

Wang Mingyan quickly looked at Qin Xiangnan and said with a smile, “Ms. Qin, you are so beautiful. Why do I feel like I have seen you somewhere?”

Qin Xiangnan thought that this Wang Mingyan looked honest, and he was kind of ordinary.

The two talked one after the other, nothing more than talking about work, which school or university they attended, and what major they took.

Qin Xiangnan learned that Wang Mingyan went to D High School, right next to her school.

When Wang Mingyan found that Qin Xiangnan went to C High School, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and his eyes lighted up.

“I said earlier that I seemed to have met you somewhere. Aren’t you Qin Xiangnan from C High School?”

Qin Xiangnan wondered why she was so famous that even D High School knew her, and she was not even the school-level figure.

“Have we met before?” Qin Xiangnan asked.

“I have saw you before. Do you remember when you participated in a debate match in high school?”

Of course Qin Xiangnan remembered it, wasn’t it the one where she was embarrassed?

“I remember. Did you participate?” She couldn’t remember who he was for a moment.

“I’m a defender, I’m Shen Zhiyang’s classmate. I was very impressed with you t that time.”

Qin Xiangnan wondered why she always hear the name Shen Zhiyang recently, first it was mentioned by Xu Chang, and later scolded by Qin Xiangbei. This time, she even met Shen Zhiyang’s old classmate.

Wang Mingyan continued” “I remember, you and Shen Zhiyang became friends and later you…” He asked with a little embarrassment.

“We broke up long ago.” Qin Xiangnan said.

“Of course I know, otherwise we will not be here today, huh.” Wang Mingyan smirked, “I heard that he went abroad when he was in college. He can really do it, so good in high school.”

Qin Xiangnan stayed silent for a few seconds.

Seeing that she was not willing to talk to him about Shen Zhiyang, Wang Mingyan did not continue talking.

Qin Xiangnan completed the task given by Zhao Mei. She met the blind date, she knew that it was impossible to develop more relationship with Wang Mingyan. Whether she likes Wang Mingyan or not, he and Shen Zhiyang were on the same class. Her heart will not be able to handle it.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mei called Qin Xiangnan to inquire about the situation that night.

Qin Xiangnan laughed, and said yes, she understood that if she refused Zhao Mei, she would probably be scolded again, and then she will have to meet other new dates one after the other. She could not stand it.

She had to agree in front of Zhao Mei, and after a few days Zhao Mei asked again. She said that her personality was not suitable for the development. In short, she has delayed it for as long as she can.

A few days later, when Qin Xiangnan got up in the morning, she received a call from her friend Li Susu.

“Li Susu, aren’t you on honeymoon? You claimed that you will roam half the earth and then come back. It’s not even that long, and you’re done already? Did you spend all your money, hahaha.”

“Oh, Qin Xiangnan, does it look like I don’t have money?”

Li Susu is now a big boss. Five years ago, she opened a hot pot restaurant. Unexpectedly, after a long time, the business became hot. She opened seven or eight branches. She really became a big boss. She realized her dream of becoming rich when she was young.

“Then why are you back so soon? Are you arguing with Su Mingxuan?” Li Susu and Su Mingxuan, a happy pair of enemies from high school, did not expect that they will bump into marriage after so many yeras. Qin Xiangnan gave them a sincere blessing. The two were together for ten years. Although they broke up a few times over the years, they finally achieved a positive result.

She remembered a few months ago, when she attended the wedding ceremony of the two, when the emcee introduced the two’s love story and the slide show that showed the two of them together for ten years, Qin Xiangnan cried and became a crying mess.

“I didn’t have the time to quarrel with him. It is because there were problems with my hotpot restaurant that I have to deal with, so I had to come back. And also, I really miss you, Qin Xiangnan.”

Listening to Li Susu’s voice, Qin Xiangnan mouthed that it was annoying but she felt sweet inside.

“I plan to relax in a few days. How about we go to the suburban barbecue together?” Li Susu suggested.

“With whom?” Qin Xiangnan asked her.

“Who else could it be, you, me, and Su Mingxuan.”

“I don’t want to be your light bulb. [1]” Qin Xiangnan snorted.

[1] Light bulb = third wheel

“Who else could we invite? Besides, haven’t you been the light bulb for so many years?” Li Susu laughed at her.

“You… It’s because you are always bugging me, who want to be your light bulb?

“Well, I don’t care. That’s it. I’ll arrange it and find a villa in the suburbs for one night. You must come.”

Qin Xiangnan agreed quickly.

Li Susu’s efficiency is still very high, and within a few days, she arranged it.

Qin Xiangnan dress up today, because it is rare for her to go outing. She also specially chose to wear a skirt. For the past few years, she rarely wore skirts because of her work and just usually wore t-shirts and jeans.

Because she had asked the team leader for a two-day vacation that day, she knew that there would be definitely no interruptions to her. She dressed herself up beautifully. She also packed two skirts, one for today and the other for tomorrow.

Early in the morning, Su Mingxuan and Li Susu came to pick her up.

Li Susu praised her for being beautiful today.

“Qin Xiangnan, you should be well dressed to look like a woman. You usually look like a man.”

“Don’t brag about me. It sounds so awkward.”

“Of course, I’ll praise you, our Qin Xiangnan is a great beauty.”

Qin Xiangnan pouted, and said that it was almost the same.

Su Mingxuan, who was driving, also inserted: “Qin Xiangnan, you are dressed right today. I will let you see a handsome guy.”

“Who?” Qin Xiangnan asked, “Isn’t it just the three of us?”

“Yeah, Su Mingxuan, you did not tell me that you will bring others. Do you still have me?” Li Susu was angry.

“Oh, it’s my fault. Don’t be angry. You’ll get ugly when you get angry.” Su Mingxuan coaxed his wife and said, “You guys know this guy, and he wanted to surprise you.”

“Who?” Qin Xiangnan and Li Susu both asked him at the same time.

When Su Mingxuan sat that these two women were beyond his control, he had to confess, “It’s our high school classmate, Xu Chang.”

Qin Xiangnan heard Xu Chang at first, and was somewhat surprised.

Li Susu was even more pleasantly surprised. “You mean Xu Chang? Wasn’t he really in City B?”

“A few months ago, he came back. As soon as I heard that he came back, I contacted him. For so many years, I haven’t seen him, I always thought of looking for a chance to meet with him. Coincidentally, I told him today’s schedule, and he agreed.”

“I didn’t expect that Xu Chang could be invited by you, Su Mingxuan. Then I have to look good. Qin Xiangnan, look at me, do I look good today?” Li Susu turned to ask her.

“Hey, Li Susu, don’t have any thoughts on Xu Chang. Don’t forget, you are my wife now!”

Li Susu gave him a look.

Su Mingxuan went on to say: “Xu Chang didn’t give me face, he originally refused me. But I told him that our great beauty, reporter Qin, was also coming, and he agreed.”

Qin Xiangnan blushed when she heard about this. She did not know what to say.

“Why did Xu Chang come because of Qin Xiangnan? She disliked Xu Chang the most. They didn’t even say a few words in high school. Right, QIn Xiangnan?” Li Susu asked her.

Qin Xiangnan felt embarrassed, and hummed.

Although QIn Xiangnan and Li Susu are good friends, she did not dare tell her that XU Chang was her tutor during high school. Because Li Susu has a big mouth, she was afraid that if the matter was leaked out, she would become the enemy of girls in the school. Later, because everyone went their separate ways. There was no need to mention it to her.

Su Mingxuan drove to pick up Xu Chang, and Qin Xiangnan became a little nervous. Although she and Xu Chang gradually became familiar with each other these days, she still remembered what Qin Xiangbei said to her from time to time. Today, she heard Su Mingxuan saying that Xu Chang had come because she was also coming, and she felt a little bit nervous.

If she had known that Xu Chang was going, she wouldn’t be so dressed up.

When Su Mingxuan arrived at Xu Chang’s house, Qin Xiangnan looked at the surroundings of his neighborhood. It was like a high-end apartment, Xu Chang did a good job! Compared to her place where there will be a perverted intruder in the middle of the night, Qin Xiangnan sighed secretly.

Su Mingxuan called Xu Chang. It didn’t take long before Qin Xiangnan saw the handsome and terrifying Doctor Xu that was running over.

Li Susu was unabashed, and when she saw Xu Chang, she looked stupid.

“Big handsome guy, do you remember me?” Li Susu posed in an enchanting posture, standing at the door of the car.

“Of course I remember, Li Susu. Surprisingly, you and Su Mingxuan are married.” Xu Chang said.

Li Susu smiled smugly.

When Xu Chang turned his head to look at Qin Xiangnan on the side, he suddenly lost a bit of his breath.

Today’s Qin Xiangnan is very different. She wore a light blue dress that was tight on her upper body and outlined her figure. Her skirt was fluffy and cute. She was dressed up enchantingly. Previously, she was mostly plain and wore light makeup, looking pure and cute. Those are two different kinds of beauty.

Xu Chang stared at Qin Xiangnan for a while…
