Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Chapter 147 When did she become my wife?

Shen Yanci asked her what her plans were for tomorrow.

Their Sunday schedule mainly focuses on cultural exploration, and they have a lot of freedom.

Qin Qiong's idea was to invite her to have a meal here to meet her friends, and then formally invite her to a coming-of-age ceremony after their study tour ended.

Qin Zhao's life lacked any sense of ritual, but when she listened to Qin Qiong's plans and stories, she couldn't help but feel anticipation and joy.

It wasn't because of my birthday, nor because of my coming-of-age ceremony.

It is because she exists, because there are people in this world who cherish her existence so much.

Qin Zhao told Shen Yanci about the arrangements: "Do you have time that day?"

Are you inviting me?

"Ah."

Shen Yanci's voice was a little lower than usual, but Qin Zhao was too busy being happy to notice.

"Which of your invitation lists am I on, hmm?"

After Qin Zhao finished playing the voice message, he turned over and vaguely realized that Shen Yanci had done it on purpose.

Just answer whether you have time or not, whether you're going or not.

Why say so much?

Moreover, it sounds like he's straining his voice.

Previously, when Jiang Man was shipping a certain couple, I let her listen to a voice message and asked her how she felt.

She said it sounded nice.

"What else?" Jiang Man asked excitedly.

Qin Zhao listened twice more, but still couldn't figure it out: "Is there a problem?"

"He's straining his voice! You can't even tell his throat's practically burning?" She covered her face and blurted out unintentionally, "Oh my god, shouldn't you guys be very sensitive to guys straining their voices?"

"Let me listen again."

Jiang Man made her listen to it again, and she cooperated by steering the conversation towards her boyfriend, then listened to several videos of guys using different voices...

Qin Zhao played it again, his breath shallow, like a sound coming from his throat, and he deliberately dragged out the last syllable.

It's clamping.

Qin Zhao: "Why are you talking like this so early in the morning?"

Shen Yanci: "?"

Shen Yanci: "Can't I even ask which number I was invited to?"

He also sent a meme of someone looking wronged and needing to be comforted.

Qin Zhao closed his eyes briefly, feeling that Lin Shi's words made a lot of sense: no matter who you are, get off Shen Yanci immediately.

She said, "These kinds of emojis make you look uncool."

The other party remained silent, then withdrew an emoji.

The other party is typing.

The other person has been typing for a long time.

The other party sent a string of ellipses.

Qin Zhao smiled, quoted his question, and typed: "The first one."

"outsider."

The stranger had just sent it out when a video call came in.

Qin Zhao hung up: "It's past 1 a.m. in London now, I need to go to sleep."

Before she finished typing, Shen Yanci must have seen the "outsider" information she added.

S: “…”

Before Qin Zhao could send his next message, a new message popped up—

When can I become your wife?

"..."

So shameless.

Qin Zhao sent a meme that said "I'll punch you."

There was a two-second silence on Shen Yanci's end: "Qin Zhao, I miss you a little."

Qin Zhao curled his index finger slightly.

"Can we have a voice call for a bit?"

"It will only take five minutes."

Qin Zhao: "This isn't handsome either."

S withdrew another message.

S sent three strings of ellipses.

Just when Shen Yanci thought Qin Zhao was about to fall asleep, he made a voice call.

Neither of them spoke after the call connected.

Qin Zhao: "What are you trying to say?"

"I miss you so much."

This time he didn't hold it in; the sound came from his chest, and it had a slightly muffled quality.

Qin Zhao picked at his nails, paused for two seconds, and said, "You already said that."

"But you didn't miss me." Qin Zhao pursed his lips. "If you keep being so cheesy, I'm hanging up."

"..."

Shen Yanci changed the subject: "Was the cake delicious?"

"Mmm." Qin Zhao smiled; it was the best cake she had ever eaten.

"Will there be cake tomorrow?"

"Yes, but I probably can't eat too much."

Qin Zhao yawned as he spoke; it was almost 2 a.m.

"Sleepy?"

Qin Zhao nodded and then yawned.

What time do I get up tomorrow?

"Around 8:30."

"it is good."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement: "Goodnight."

She then remembered that it was nine o'clock in the morning back home, and, fighting off her sleepiness, added, "Good morning."

Shen Yanci chuckled softly, "Good night."

"Happy birthday."

"See you tomorrow."

Qin Zhao visited many tourist attractions during the day and was very tired, so he fell asleep immediately.

She slept soundly through the night, waking up before her alarm went off. She got up, washed, and changed her clothes.

I sent a "Good morning" message in the family group chat, asking if anyone wanted to go to a restaurant for lunch.

Lin Zheng and Qin Qiong were adjusting to the time difference, and Lin Shi responded with a sound of agreement.

Tell Qin Zhao to wait for him.

This wait lasted for half an hour.

Qin Zhao glanced at his meticulously styled hair and the narcissistic man admiring himself in the elevator mirror, and swallowed her words.

When we arrived at the restaurant, it was almost 10 o'clock, and there weren't many people.

As Qin Zhao was getting her food, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that the person next to her looked familiar. When she looked up, she met a pair of dark eyes.

Shen Yanci's Adam's apple bobbed: "You're forty-eight minutes late."

"..."

He blinked slightly and reached for Qin Zhao's plate: "Shall I get it for you?"

"Qin—Shen Yanci?" Lin Shi tilted his head in disbelief. "What are you doing here?"

Qin Zhao's eyelashes trembled, and she subtly retreated, dragging her plate behind her.

The intention to avoid suspicion is quite obvious.

Shen Yanci's eyes darkened slightly, and he raised his eyelids expressionlessly: "It's really... great to see you so early in the morning."

"..."

Lin Shi sighed, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Qin Zhao even complained that I was too slow. If I had been faster, we wouldn't have run into each other."

"..."

Qin Zhao interrupted their reminiscing: "Let's find seats first."

The table is square.

After Qin Zhao sat down, Lin Shi sat down next to her.

Shen Yanci let out a sigh of relief and sat down opposite Qin Zhao.

While spreading the sauce, Lin Shi asked, "When did you arrive?"

Shen Yanci remained expressionless: "Yesterday."

Qin Zhao suddenly remembered that he had asked her about her schedule the day before yesterday, and then asked her again in the afternoon when she would be free.

She originally said seven o'clock, but later she went to eat and take a walk with Qin Qiong and the others. She said one sentence to him and then stopped talking.

"We were on the same flight yesterday!" Lin Shi suddenly became excited again. "Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, we could have been on the same flight!"

"Aren't you starting school in October?" Lin Shi asked himself, "I came here early to scout out the location."

He'd said everything.

Shen Yanci hummed in agreement and looked at Qin Zhao: "Is today your birthday?"

Qin Zhao paused and looked at him.

Was the person who wished her a happy birthday yesterday a ghost?
Lin Shi: "Yes, we came here to celebrate her birthday..."

Shen Yanci: "Happy birthday."

Qin Zhao opened his mouth slightly, then lowered his eyelids: "Thank you."

Lin Shi scoffed, nonchalantly saying, "That's too perfunctory. You just said 'Happy Birthday' over breakfast, and you didn't even bother with a gift."

"You can see who your real brother is now, right? I gave you nineteen birthday presents."

Qin Zhao suddenly remembered the birthday gifts Lin Shi had given her; from ages 1 to 14, the gifts were all his own photos with his signature.

"..."
