Chapter 75
Zhao Haizhou: “Wouldn’t it be better to just let professionals handle the invitations?”
Zhao Xinyu looked at Zhao Haizhou, a little embarrassed, and said, “How can that be the same? Something handwritten has a different meaning than something printed.”
Many relatives from the Ming family and the Zhao family will surely attend. The relatives should recognize the handwriting of Ming Wenxin and Zhao Haizhou.
Zhao Haizhou: “I think it’s all the same. We have so many relatives. When will you ever finish writing them all? You write the invitations yourself. I’m certainly not writing for you!”
Zhao Xuan: “You write them yourself.”
Zhao Xinyu: …
Verdict: Definitely her biological father and brother.
Ming Wenxin was so annoyed by her daughter’s antics that she didn’t want to deal with her now. Xinyu is marrying, and many people will come from her side. It’s better to let Haizhou write them.
Seeing Qianyi standing behind Xinyu, Ming Wenxin walked forward, took Qianyi’s hand, and walked toward the living room. She asked her, “Have you felt uncomfortable recently?”
Zhao Xinyu: Wow, did Ming Wenxin just roll her eyes at me?
Pfft~ She must be mad at me.
Hahaha.
Sun Qianyi looked at Ming Wenxin and replied playfully, “I haven’t been uncomfortable. I’m being mindful of my diet. Don’t worry, Mom.”
Remembering what Xinyu had told her earlier in the living room, she looked at Qianyi and asked, “Ahem, Xinyu hasn’t been causing you any trouble, has she?”
“No, no, Mom. Xinyu… she knows how to be careful.” Xinyu has read the books I bought. Although she occasionally gets a little playful, she knows her limits.
Well, I didn’t expect my daughter to be so restrained! She hasn’t been bothering Qianyi. That’s good, very good.
Kong Hui stood there, making Ming Wenxin feel a little awkward. We’re all family; why are you standing? She quickly told her, “Dear, let’s sit down and chat.”
Kong Hui and Qianyi are the only ones she genuinely likes in the Sun family. She really can’t stand the other members of the Sun family after meeting them.
Kong Hui nodded at Ming Wenxin, and they sat down on the sofa together.
Auntie Xu brought out fruit and pastries and placed them on the coffee table. She smiled happily and said, “Eat and chat.”
Sun Qianyi smiled at Auntie Xu’s efforts and replied, “Thank you, Auntie Xu.”
Sigh, this is just my job. Qianyi is too polite. “You’re welcome. You ladies chat.”
Auntie Xu returned to the kitchen. She needs to prepare several dishes for lunch today.
…
Zhao Xinyu, Zhao Haizhou, and Zhao Xuan walked to the dining table and chairs and sat down. There were many invitations to write.
In addition to the relatives and friends from both families, many people from the industry need to be invited.
Zhao Xinyu stood up and carried the box of invitations to the dining table. The box was large and heavy. Zhao Xinyu opened the box, took out a stack of invitations, and placed them on the table.
“Dad, the list you gave me fills an entire small booklet. It’s a good thing I chose a large venue for the wedding, or it wouldn’t fit this many people.”
Zhao Haizhou laughed proudly. “Of course. I don’t care about these external statuses, but these people still have to think of me.” Without his connections, some things simply can’t be done.
Zhao Xinyu pursed her lips and smiled, praising him, “My dad is the most capable!”
She placed a pen in front of Zhao Haizhou. Zhao Xinyu continued, “Since Dad is so capable, your handwriting on the invitations will surely be treasured by everyone who receives it!”
Saying that, Zhao Xinyu slowly pushed the stack of invitations toward Zhao Haizhou.
Zhao Haizhou: …
Zhao Xuan suppressed a laugh. Dad was so easily manipulated by his sister.
Zhao Xinyu immediately took another stack of invitations, walked up to Zhao Xuan, and said with a cheeky smile, “Brother, you can practice now. When you catch the person you’re pursuing, you can write theirs yourself.”
Zhao Xinyu deliberately leaned in and whispered “When you catch the person you’re pursuing” into Zhao Xuan’s ear.
After placing the invitations in front of Zhao Xuan, she returned to the box.
Zhao Xuan definitely has a crush. Making him write quickly will help her figure out which beautiful Omega caught his eye.
Pfft, hahaha.
Zhao Xuan: …
Did Xinyu’s words mean she knows who I like?!
!!!
If she really knows, that’s incredibly embarrassing! He was the one who didn’t want to see Miss Yuan before, and now he’s the one interested in her.
Zhao Xinyu took a stack of invitations for herself and started writing with Zhao Haizhou and Zhao Xuan.
The conversation in the living room was lively, and the writing at the dining table was very serious.
She didn’t know how long they had been writing. Zhao Xinyu only felt that her arms, neck, and wrists were incredibly sore. She pouted. Qianyi was busy with her mother and mother-in-law and hadn’t come over to check on her.
Zhao Xinyu turned her head to look at the living room. Everyone looked joyful and was laughing happily. Although Zhao Xinyu felt jealous, seeing Sun Qianyi’s happy smile made the corners of her lips turn up as well.
Turning back, Zhao Xinyu’s mood had shifted, and she happily continued writing the invitations.
Zhao Xinyu: Qianyi is smiling, and it’s such a beautiful smile.
After finishing one invitation, Zhao Xinyu carefully reread what she had written: Amazing. The handwriting on the invitation feels sweet.
Pfft, hahaha.
Zhao Xinyu smiled foolishly, writing the invitations.
Hearing a chuckling sound, Zhao Xuan looked over. Seeing his sister’s silly look, he thought: Oh no, is she possessed?!
Zhao Haizhou: “Xinyu? What are you giggling about?”
Zhao Xinyu was stunned, looking at Zhao Haizhou. “Huh?”
Zhao Xuan: Tsk, she really is possessed.
Zhao Haizhou asked Xinyu again, “What are you giggling about?”
Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly. “Dad, you wouldn’t understand.”
Zhao Haizhou: How can I know if you don’t tell me?!
…
Because the number of invitations to write was truly large, they still hadn’t finished writing by the time Auntie Xu prepared lunch.
The finished dishes couldn’t fit in the kitchen. Auntie Xu brought them to the dining table, forcing Zhao Xinyu to put the invitations away temporarily. Zhao Haizhou and Zhao Xuan exchanged a glance, smiled faintly, and went to the living room.
Zhao Haizhou and Zhao Xuan retreated quickly, leaving Zhao Xinyu to handle the tidying up alone.
Zhao Xinyu: I need to figure out a way to get Dad and Brother to continue helping me write the invitations after we eat.
Zhao Xinyu neatly sorted the written and blank invitations and placed them in the corner. Zhao Xinyu stood up and was about to go to the restroom to wash her hands. Passing the living room, she casually glanced at Qianyi. It was only a two or three-second glance before she continued toward the restroom.
Zhao Xinyu slowly washed her hands: palms, backs of hands, fingers. Just as she was drying her hands, Sun Qianyi came over.
Sun Qianyi looked at Xinyu and asked, a little confused, “Did you want to tell me something?”
Hearing Qianyi’s question, Zhao Xinyu didn’t answer immediately. She had been writing invitations for about two hours, and Qianyi hadn’t even come over to look at her.
Sun Qianyi: “What’s wrong?”
Why is she not talking to me again? Is she mad?
Noticing Xinyu drying her hands multiple times, she smiled and said, “Xinyu, thank you for working hard on the invitations.”
Zhao Xinyu stopped and turned to look at her, smiling faintly. Qianyi knows. Why didn’t she come over to check on her? Why didn’t she come over to see how her handwriting was?
Zhao Xinyu gently cleared her throat, looking away, and said, “Although, well… you should have come over to check on me while you were spending time with Mom.”
Being ignored for two hours doesn’t feel good, even though Qianyi always puts me first.
“Are you jealous?” This is rare. This is the first time Xinyu has shown jealousy like this.
…
Is this jealousy?
“I’m not jealous. You were so absorbed in your conversation in the living room that you didn’t even come over… to see me.”
The volume gradually became very low.
This time, Sun Qianyi laughed after hearing her.
“Heh heh. You’re accusing me now? You usually do this to me. Huh?”
Zhao Xinyu asked, confused, “Did I?”
“Didn’t you?” Sun Qianyi looked straight into Xinyu’s eyes and asked.
“Ahem, well, I get completely immersed when I’m working.”
That’s what Zhao Xinyu said, but it’s only slightly true.
She’s used to analyzing everything and handling everything logically, no matter what she’s doing.
It’s very rare for her to notice emotional needs like this. She almost never does that. When she wants Qianyi, she prefers action.
Suddenly, this feeling is quite nice. She can feel the difference in her surroundings when she focuses on herself.
Since transmigrating, she’s been thinking about the Zhao family, Sun Qianyi, and her career… Even though these are all things she wants to do, her starting point hasn’t prioritized herself.
She’s not the original owner and could completely detach herself and live independently. But she’s discovered the adorable side of Zhao Xuan, the responsible parents Zhao Haizhou and Ming Wenxin, and this family.
And the beautiful, intellectual woman in front of her. Her heart pounded the moment she first saw her.
The phrase “If necessary, I can take responsibility” was a test, and also something she blurted out without thinking.
Qianyi saying “Let’s talk about marriage” was unexpected for her, and she agreed without thinking again.
Who knew that one dance she suddenly performed that day completely captured her heart.
So she started planning. Plotting projects is second nature to her after years in the workplace.
Today, she wrote invitations. Everything is going according to her plan, one step at a time.
“I will try not to ignore you in the future, and please don’t ignore me, okay?”
“Okay.” She has never ignored Xinyu. This person just seems to be overthinking things.
“You can tell me anything. You don’t have to do everything yourself. We should share the burden.”
Sun Qianyi smiled gently, tilting her head at her.
Realizing she couldn’t avoid the gaze, Zhao Xinyu stared back into her eyes.
“Give me some time. I can’t do it all at once.”
“Okay, no rush.” Xinyu saying this is enough.
“Shall we go out now?”
Sun Qianyi said this, but she made no move. She was waiting for Xinyu’s reaction. Zhao Xinyu blinked at her, gently pulled her into an embrace, and hugged her.
“Hug for two minutes.”
“Okay.” Sun Qianyi gently patted Xinyu’s shoulder, comforting her.
Zhao Xinyu: “I was very happy watching you smile while talking with the two mothers just now. But, I was a little jealous. The way you smiled was different from how you smile around me. It was a look I hadn’t seen before.”
Hearing Xinyu’s words, Sun Qianyi didn’t know what to do.
Sometimes Xinyu seems much more mature than she is, yet in some matters, Xinyu is like a child who has never experienced them. “Silly girl, how can a smile for family be the same as a smile for a lover?”
Family and lover? Alright, I guess I was jealous.
Zhao Xinyu gently pulled away from Qianyi, giving her a light, quick kiss on the lips. “Let’s go out.”
Author’s Note:
Zhao Xinyu: Hah! How could I possibly be jealous over a smile? This is all just an illusion…
Author: Pfft, hahahahahaha~
