I failed again

After Yun Yao returned home, the first thing he did was to send a message to Si Heng to tell him that he had returned home. After that, he prepared to go to the studio to paint.

Unexpectedly, Si Heng called directly via video and Yun Yao picked up the phone.

"How was the meeting this time?" Si Heng asked with concern.

Yun Yao said, "It wasn't very good at the beginning, but the process and results were OK."

Si Heng's face was full of question marks, "What do you mean by this? Why don't I understand?"

"I was late." Yun Yao explained further.

"What? You're late?" Si Heng asked in shock, "Didn't you leave early? How come you're late?"

"I took a taxi and the driver drove me around the Imperial Star three times. I found them behind me and saw that the time and distance were enough for me to reach Xianyun Pavilion, so I got off the car directly. As a result, I was blocked halfway." Yun Yao said in a muffled voice, "They didn't do anything, they just blocked me and wouldn't let me leave."

Si Heng: ………………

"…What kind of operation is this? Who did you offend?" Si Heng expressed his incomprehension of the person who arranged all this.

"I don't know either." Yun Yao said, "I stay at home every day and don't have the chance to provoke anyone."

When those people came to block him at first, he thought he had met some bully, but he didn't expect that they were just blocking him and not letting him leave.

It was almost half past eleven before they let me go. I hurried over there, but was still late.

"Fortunately, Marshal Qin was also late." Yun Yao continued, "He had just arrived when I went there."

"He's late too? What a blessing in disguise." Si Heng suddenly thought of an incredible guess and said, "Could it be that the person who arranged this just wanted you to be late? To make you have a bad impression in front of Marshal Qin?"

Yun Yao looked at Si Heng in disbelief and said, "Brother Si Heng, are you serious? I think this guess is a bit unreliable."

Si Heng nodded and said, "I also think it's unreliable. Forget it, forget about it, and tell me about your meeting with Qin Muxiu. You just said that the process and the result were okay, how can it be okay?"

He knew Yun Yao's personality best. The fact that Yun Yao said it was okay meant that Yun Yao was very satisfied with this meeting.

"The atmosphere is quite harmonious." Yun Yao said, "Before, I thought he would be the same as Lin Ze, but after meeting him, I found that I was overthinking. He is a very nice person."

"That's a pretty high evaluation." Si Heng joked, "But, Yun Yao, you have to remember that an idiot like Lin Ze is one in a hundred. It's impossible for someone to be the same as him."

Yun Yao nodded, agreeing with Si Heng's words. Suddenly, he thought of something. With bright eyes and a smile, he said to Si Heng, "He also said that he would clean up a room in his house for me to use as a studio."

"Not bad, not bad." Regardless of whether Qin Muxiu really wanted to set up a studio for Yun Yao or just use this to deceive Old Man Qin and create the illusion that he liked Yun Yao, this shows that Qin Muxiu did try to get to know Yun Yao seriously, unlike a certain idiot who couldn't even put on a good show and had to clean up his mess himself.

He also doesn't have to worry too much about Yun Yao becoming like him after marriage.

Yun Yao continued, "We also exchanged contact information, and he said we should meet more often in the future to cultivate our relationship."

"That's a good thing. It would be best for you to meet more often and cultivate your relationship. It would be best for you to get married after you have a foundation of love." Si Heng said, "I totally agree."

Yun Yao nodded and said, "I think this is great too."

He was really afraid that it would allow him to have a relatively gentle process of accepting Qin Muxiu, rather than having to get married and live together right away.

"Did he say when we will meet next time?" Si Heng asked again.

"No." Yun Yao replied, "He said he would ask me out when he's free."

Si Heng nodded and asked, "You shouldn't be afraid of seeing him now, right?"

"It's a headache now." Yun Yao said, "I get annoyed when I think about going out. I wish I could stay at home and paint every day."

"...I have a suggestion." Si Heng said, "You can bring him home directly and let him watch you paint. You don't have to go out, and you can get along with him and cultivate your relationship. It's great."

Yun Yao lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with a little excitement, "We are not familiar with each other yet..."

"Just do it when it's cooked." Si Heng wanted to continue speaking when there was a knock on the door. "I have something to do here. I'll hang up first."

Yun Yao nodded, then hung up the phone and walked towards the studio.

In the evening, after Qin Muxiu came out of the military headquarters, he went straight to the Qin family.

When I got back, Mr. Qin and Jiang Ruoyuan had already finished their meal and were chatting on the sofa.

"Blue Star is great, it has beautiful scenery and is a great place to travel. You can go if you want. Just remember to come back before your brother's wedding."

Qin Muxiu heard this before he even got close. Qin Yuan was going on a trip?

"Don't worry, I will definitely be back before my brother's wedding." Jiang Ruoyuan promised.

"Are you going alone, or with friends?" Mr. Qin asked again.

"Go with Bai Ci, we will leave tomorrow." Jiang Ruoyuan replied.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you leaving tomorrow?" Qin Muxiu walked in and asked.

"Brother, why did you come back?" Having said that, Jiang Ruoyuan understood why Qin Muxiu came back. He was so satisfied with today's meeting with Yun Yao, so he must have come back to discuss the wedding with the old man.

"If you have anything, come back and see grandpa." Qin Muxiu looked at Grandpa Qin and said with a smile.

Old Master Qin was so frightened by his calling him Grandpa that he sat up straight. Every time his eldest grandson called him Grandpa seriously, something bad was bound to happen.

"I just heard you say outside that you and Bai Ci are leaving for Blue Star to play tomorrow. Did you book the time or was it him who booked it?" Qin Muxiu turned his head and looked at Jiang Ruoyuan and asked.

At a party a few days ago, he noticed that there was something wrong with the way Bai Ci looked at Qin Yuan, and he suspected that Bai Ci had fallen in love with his younger brother.

But Bai Ci didn't do anything these days, and Qin Yuan stayed in his room, so he didn't care much.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were going to travel together without saying a word?

"I set the time." Jiang Ruoyuan admitted frankly, "Brother, don't worry, Bai Ci and I will definitely come back to attend your wedding. We will definitely not be absent."

"Okay, if you want to go, go ahead." Qin Muxiu looked at Jiang Ruoyuan's calm expression and said helplessly, "But be careful, don't let anything happen to Bai Ci."

Although Qin Yuan was usually arrogant and loved to stir up trouble outside, he was still a member of the Qin family and his younger brother. He still felt very heartbroken that someone had taken away his not-so-white cabbage.

Jiang Ruoyuan didn't understand Qin Muxiu's hint. He just thought that Qin Muxiu was worried that he and Bai Ci would have a conflict during the journey, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother. I'll go up first and won't disturb your conversation with grandpa."

After saying that, Jiang Ruoyuan ran upstairs.

Seeing Jiang Ruoyuan running upstairs without looking back, Qin Muxiu withdrew his gaze, sat on the sofa and looked at Old Man Qin.

Old Master Qin was a little scared by his look and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? What do you want from me?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal. I just want to talk to you, Grandpa, about the wedding." Qin Muxiu said.

Old Master Qin thought Qin Muxiu was here to discuss canceling the wedding, and he immediately became excited. He pointed at Qin Muxiu and said, "I was wondering why you suddenly acted so well today? You must be waiting for me here. I'm telling you, don't even think about canceling the wedding. It's impossible!"

"Hey, Grandpa, you're overthinking. I didn't come to you for this." Qin Muxiu walked to Grandpa Qin's side, pressed down Grandpa Qin's hand, and said, "Don't worry about the marriage. I will definitely follow your arrangements honestly."

Old Master Qin was completely stunned. Who was the person who had said a few days ago that he would not get married and asked him to give up this idea?

After a long while, Mr. Qin finally found his voice and asked, "Then why did you come to see me?"

"I just want to ask, can the wedding date be moved forward a little? For example, the 17th of this month would be perfect." Qin Muxiu said.

"Ah?" Old Master Qin looked puzzled. "You didn't have a fever and your brain was damaged, did you?"

As he spoke, Old Master Qin stretched out his hand to feel the temperature of Qin Muxiu's forehead, but Qin Muxiu dodged and said, "You don't have a fever, you didn't take the wrong medicine, your mind is clear, you weren't caught in the door or kicked by a donkey. I'm discussing this matter with you very seriously."

"But weren't you still resisting a few days ago? Why did you suddenly say today that you wanted to move up the wedding?" Old Master Qin still couldn't believe what he had just heard. He had begun to suspect that he was hallucinating because he wanted Qin Muxiu to agree to get married too much.

"That was just my ignorance and mischief. Grandpa, you can just pretend that nothing happened." Qin Muxiu said, "Grandpa, you haven't answered me yet, can you please answer me in advance?"

"...No." Old Master Qin was stunned for a long time before he reluctantly accepted the fact that his eldest grandson, who had been clamoring not to get married not long ago, was now seriously discussing with him whether the wedding could be moved forward a month.

"Why not?" Qin Muxiu asked, "We still have a week to prepare."

"What can you prepare in a week?" The old man glared at him unhappily. "A month is already the time I tried my best to compress."

"Okay." Qin Muxiu could only accept this reality helplessly. He looked at Old Man Qin with disdain and said, "You are too useless. Can't you compress it a little more?"

Old Master Qin was nearly angered by Qin Muxiu. Just now he was calling him grandpa with a smile on his face, but now that he was rejected by me, he simply stopped pretending and said directly that he was useless?

This rebellious grandson!

"If you have the ability, go and compress it!" Old Master Qin said gritting his teeth.

"I don't have that ability. It's better to leave professional matters to professionals." Qin Muxiu said.

Mr. Qin took a few deep breaths before cursing, "Then just shut up."

"Oh." Qin Muxiu shut up obediently.

After a long time, Mr. Qin gradually calmed down. He then remembered what he had been neglecting. He looked at Qin Muxiu and asked, "I heard from Qin Fang that you made an appointment with Yun Yao to meet at noon today. You just met at noon, and you came to ask me if we can move up the wedding. It seems that you like Yun Yao very much."

Qin Muxiu looked away with a somewhat embarrassed look in his eyes and said, "Isn't that nonsense? Would I talk to you about this if I didn't like it?"

Old Master Qin laughed out loud, "You also get shy sometimes, right?"

Before, when Qin Fang came to him and told him that Qin Muxiu would definitely fall in love with Yun Yao if he met him, he didn't believe it and thought Qin Fang was just trying to cheer him up, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Qin Muxiu stood up and said, "Just smile slowly. I'm going back to my room."

After saying that, Qin Muxiu fled away, leaving Old Man Qin alone in the living room, laughing.

After returning to his room, Qin Muxiu took out his communicator and clicked on his pinned message. He typed and deleted the text in the input box, deleted and typed again, over and over again, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he sent a message saying "What are you doing?"

Then, he looked at the communicator anxiously, waiting for a response from the other end.

After a long time, there was no reply from the other side. Qin Muxiu felt a little depressed. He comforted himself in his heart that Yun Yao might be busy and didn't read the message, and might reply soon.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Qin Muxiu looked at the blank dialog box, thought again and again, sent a message "Are you busy?", and then withdrew it in seconds.

Isn't this nonsense? If you haven't replied for so long, what else can you be doing if not busy?

Qin Muxiu waited for a while, but the other party still didn't reply to his message. He could only exit the chat box in frustration and go find Qin Fang.

"Do you have Yun Yao's information?" Qin Muxiu had just sent the message when the other party replied immediately.

"Yes, Marshal." Qin Fang directly sent the document he had prepared long ago. "Is there anything else, Marshal?"

Qin Muxiu downloaded the file, thought about it, and asked, "Has he chosen the wedding ring?"

"Mr. Yun has already chosen the wedding ring, wedding dress and so on." Qin Fang replied.

"Okay, then bring the wedding ring and wedding dress designs he chose to me tomorrow." Qin Muxiu replied, "By the way, I'll tell you some small details about the wedding scene."

"Okay." Qin Fang agreed.

Qin Muxiu exited the chat box and started looking at the documents.

When he saw the words "living with Si Heng and trusting Si Heng very much" written on the document, his hand that was sliding the screen stopped.

Who is Si Heng? Why does Yao Yao live with him and trust him so much? Is he an Alpha?!

Wait, why does the name Si Heng sound so familiar?

Qin Muxiu quickly remembered, isn’t this Lin Ze’s marriage partner?

He breathed a sigh of relief. He was so scared, he thought it was an Alpha.

Qin Muxiu sorted out his feelings and continued reading. When he saw the words "I don't like meeting strangers, especially I don't like meeting strangers alone", he remembered Yun Yao's performance when they met at noon today.
