Arranged marriage, love blossoms: Marrying into a wealthy family while holding a miniature version o

"Ok?"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Qin Shi's words.

Qin Shi looked at her, his clear, cold eyes always filled with restraint, rationality, and calmness.

He said, "I heard you say before that your boss's child can't live without you, and that the child cries when you're not around, is that right?"

Zhou Yi nodded immediately: "Yes, Yu Yu will cry if I'm away for a long time. I have to tell Yu Yu before I leave. If I don't tell her, she won't know. If I do tell her, I have to come back at the agreed time, otherwise Yu Yu will cry too."

"Yuyu is very smart."

She had worked at the maternity and baby store for more than two years, and Yu Yu was the smartest child she had ever seen.

"That's it."

“That child can’t live without you, which is why his father has gone to so much trouble and time and effort, but this is not something to be taken for granted.”

Zhou Yi froze, then instantly understood Qin Shi's meaning. His eyes widened, and he hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, brother, no."

“I don’t think it’s your duty to do this. I feel very sorry for you for bringing Yu Yu here with me and delaying your work. I’ve been thinking about how to repay you.”

“Especially this time, I want to repay my husband for saving my grandmother’s kindness. But now, besides taking good care of Yuyu, I don’t know what else I can do for my husband. He has everything he needs, and I don’t know what to do.”

“Brother, I really didn’t mean to take advantage of Mr. Yu, and I don’t think Mr. Yu should be like this. The only solution I’ve thought of is to take good care of Yu Yu, and then transfer Grandma to a hospital in Yunzhou City. I will work hard for Mr. Yu and work for him for the rest of my life. I don’t even need a salary in the future. I just want Grandma to be healthy.”

Zhou Yi spoke these words very quickly, as if afraid that Qin Shi would not believe him, and he even repeated his words in a hurry.

She really didn't think her husband should do that.

Never.

Seeing that her eyes were red with anxiety, Qin Shi softened his voice and said gently, "I know, what I mean is that what you did was wrong."

"It's not that your thinking is wrong, it's your approach."

"Huh? How do you make it?"

“Yes, your boss is very rich, he doesn’t lack this money, but no matter how rich he is, it’s still his, and we can’t just deduct it because he doesn’t lack this money.”

“I will pay for Grandma’s medical expenses. Your monthly salary will remain the same. If you have relatives who can help you, you should choose to help them first, instead of using everything you have to pay back the debt.”

When he said the word "everything," his voice became noticeably heavier.

At this moment, Zhou Yi finally understood Qin Shi's meaning; her brother was worried that she would suffer losses because of repaying the teacher.

but……

"Brother, you can't just take it for granted."

Zhou Yi spoke softly, her eyes filled with gratitude, but also with a sense of helplessness.

Qin Shi fell silent.

Zhou Yi continued, "Brother, we are not related by blood."

Not at all.

Even their kinship ties are far-fetched.

The son of the stepmother and her ex-husband did not live with the stepmother but grew up with her ex-husband, and his household registration is also under the ex-husband's household registration.

They have no connection whatsoever.

She called him "brother" purely out of politeness.

But he did what his older brother should have done, and even some things his older brother couldn't do.

He has already done so well, so well that she already owes him so much, and she doesn't want to owe him anything more.

At a time like this, how could she possibly bother him again?

Just like my brother said, it's only natural.

There is no such thing as a given.

No one in this world is entitled to anything, let alone people who are not related by blood.

Qin Shi remained silent.

He looked into those clear, bright eyes and saw the distance between them—a distance as vast as mountains and rivers.

This distance is due to blood ties.

They can never become family.

And that's exactly what he wanted.

He didn't want to be family with her; he wanted to be lovers with her.

couple.

Stay together for life.

He cupped his fingers around her soft, delicate hand and said, "We'll talk about it later."

After saying that, he opened the car door and helped her out of the car.

Zhou Yi saw him open the car door and realized that the car had stopped at some point.

She looked outside and saw the signboard of Yucheng Noble Mansion shining brightly in the sunlight, attracting customers to go inside.

She didn't even know they had all arrived.

Qin Shi led her out of the car, then took out his wallet and paid the bill.

Zhou Yi only realized she hadn't paid the fare when she saw him pay. She hurriedly reached into her canvas bag for her wallet, but by the time she took it out, Qin Shi had already put it away and led her into the restaurant.

"Brother, you don't have to pay, I'll pay. But you're not allowed to pay later either, I'll pay on my phone."

My brother has already worked very hard on this trip, so I can't let him pay any more.

After saying that, Zhou Yi remembered something and immediately took out her phone to book a hotel.

My brother probably hadn't booked a hotel yet, but she booked one for him.

However, booking a hotel requires an ID number, and she didn't have her brother's ID.

Zhou Yi had a headache.

Do you two have a reservation?

The waiter's voice reached Zhou Yi's ears, and she looked up and quickly said, "It's booked! In room 3112."

"Alright, please come upstairs, both of you."

The waiter led the two to the right place, and Zhou Yi's hand was held by Qin Shi the whole time.

She wasn't paying attention; she was thinking that she absolutely had to book a hotel for her brother, otherwise she would keep thinking about it.

So she quickly said, "Brother, could you send me your ID number?"

Zhou Yi wasn't good at lying, so she asked directly, her big eyes filled with unease.

She was afraid Qin Shi wouldn't tell her.

Qin Shi had one hand in his pocket, while the other hand held hers tightly; his attention was almost entirely on her.

He noticed the look on her face as she looked at her phone.

As she asked, he looked into her large eyes and saw the caution and nervousness in them, and said, "Okay, but only if I know what it is?"

Zhou Yi immediately closed her lips and stopped speaking.

Seeing her hesitant and foolish expression, Qin Shi smiled and said, "I can give you your ID number, but..."

"really?"

Before Qin Shi could finish speaking, Zhou Yi interrupted him with a delighted expression.

But as soon as Qin Shi interrupted her, Zhou Yi's joy vanished. She looked at the person who was smiling and watching her, and whispered, "But what?"

"But I've already booked a hotel, the Bona Hotel."

"Don't order anymore."

After saying that, he took out his phone and showed her the hotel he had booked.

At first, Zhou Yi thought Qin Shi was lying to her, but after seeing the room that had already been booked on her phone, she had no choice.

"Why didn't I think of that sooner?"

"I should have thought of that sooner..."

She began to blame herself.

My brother definitely won't leave on the same day he comes back; he'll definitely stay for a few more days. She should have thought of that earlier and booked a hotel for him.

She's just too useless.

Seeing her so remorseful, he squeezed her fingers and said, "Even if you asked me for my ID number beforehand to book the hotel, I would still book it before you."

"what?"

Zhou Yi looked up at him in an instant.

He looked into the clarity in her eyes and said, "I won't let you pay for this."

"..."

Zhou Yi finally understood that her brother, like her third aunt, knew about her situation and had been helping her all along.

These acts of help were small, but they were a great help to her.

Zhou Yi lowered her head, her brows furrowed so tightly they could be tied in two knots.

“I can work for you, sir, without pay, and I can repay you in any way I can. But my brother has been so good to me, how can I repay him?”
