C17 Just a Simple Partnership

"Yes." "En!" Luo Xiao Xiao Xiao pushed open the bathroom door.

With both hands on the sink, she stared at her pale face in the mirror.

Young Noble Qin … Young Noble Qin …

She constantly chanted this name in her heart. It was as if a stone had been thrown into the lake, ripples rippling outwards.

She closed her eyes and turned on the tap.

With both hands holding the water, she continuously splashed cold water on her face.

An icy feeling seeped into her skin, calming her down slightly.

Earlier, Qi Zhen had said that Young Lord Qin had more things in his hands than they did. In that case, shouldn't he start from Young Noble Qin?

If there was a shortcut but they didn't take it, then they would be called idiots.

However … In the end, she still had to think deeply about how she was going to obtain this information from Young Noble Qin.

Otherwise, if she acted rashly, she was afraid that the gains wouldn't make up for the losses …

Luo Xiao Xiao hid her thoughts, so when she brought Luo Ke Ran to eat the hamburger, she was somewhat absent-minded.

"Father Qi Zhenfeng." Seeing Luo Xiao's appearance, the little fellow secretly tugged on Qi Zhen's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" He patted the little fellow's head and squatted down across from it.

"Mom doesn't seem happy." He pouted his lips and asked in a muffled voice, "Does Mommy not like me to eat hamburgers?"

"Of course not." Qi Zhen reached out and pulled the little fellow into his embrace.

Turning his head to look in the direction of Luo Xiao Xiao, he pursed his lips and said seriously: "Your mother is worried about work."

"Really?" The little guy lightly blinked his eyes. He was slightly skeptical.

"Of course it's true." Hugging the little fellow up with a smile, he suppressed his voice as he moved closer to the little fellow and secretly said, "If you were to make a face at your mother now, she would definitely laugh."

"Wry face is so ugly." The little guy had the burden of idolatry.

"Then do you want to make mom happy?"

"Hm." Pouting slightly, Luo Ke fell into deep thought.

Making faces is ugly.

But making faces can make your mother happy.

It was really hard to make a choice.

Qi Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the little fellow's serious expression.

"Darling son, you're so cute." Quickly kissing the little fellow on the cheek, Qi Zhen suggested, "Conan, let's make a face together, okay?"

"Alright." Hearing that there was someone accompanying him, the little fellow immediately became happy.

The absent-minded Luo Xiao Xiao walked a distance away, only then did she notice that they had fallen behind her.

Looking back at the small and large group whispering in each other's ears, she couldn't help but laugh. "What are you all doing?"

Before she could finish her sentence, the big and small student suddenly made a face at her.

With such a strange appearance, Luo Xiao Xiao immediately burst out laughing.

"Mom, you're laughing!" The little guy clapped his hands, and his large eyes narrowed into slits.

The little guy's voice was both crisp and loud, causing many people to look over.

There was a smile in their eyes, but not a hint of malice.

There was a middle-aged woman in the crowd who paused when her gaze made contact with Luo Xiao Xiao Xiao. She quietly raised her phone and captured this scene …

In the Qin family.

By the time Viscount Qin returned home, it was already close to seven in the evening.

"Young Viscount, why did you come back so late today?" Yuan Lanqing, who was sitting on the sofa, looked over with a hint of displeasure in her voice, "Yixuan has been waiting here for you for more than an hour."

"A temporary meeting for overtime." Pulling his sleeves up to his elbows, Qin Shaowang asked casually, "Mom, do we still have anything to eat at home?"

"Yes." Yuan Lan Qing glared at him and snappily said, "Just now, at dinner time, I left some food for you for you."

Yuan Lan Qing opened her mouth but did not reply. It was Xin Yixuan.

With a flick of his fingers, he walked straight into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Yuan Lanqing stood up and followed, "Young Viscount, you've been engaged to Yixuan for several years. When are you planning to get married?"

"Mom, I don't want to think about marriage for the time being."

"Why?" Hearing this, Yuan Lanqing became anxious.

Qin Shaotong and Xin Yixuan's relationship was stable.

Marriage should be a natural thing.

Young Noble Qin was no longer young. Many people his age had two babies.

Thinking of this, Yuan Lanqing couldn't help sighing in her heart. It would be unrealistic for her not to be envious of the pink and tender children in other people's houses.

When it was time for dinner, she had also tested Xin Yixuan's tone. It was clear that the Xin family was willing to do so.

At the end of the day, the problem still lay with the young noble Qin.

Thinking of this, Yuan Lanqing could not help but scowl, "Young Viscount, work cannot be completed." Yi Xuan has already waited for you for so many years, how long do you want her to wait? "

Young Noble Qin turned a deaf ear and did not speak.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Lanqing instantly became somewhat angry.

"Young Marquis, you're not thinking about that woman, are you?" Yuan Lanqing looked at Qin Shaotan and questioned him, "Back then when she cheated during her marriage, we lost all our family's face because of her."

The 'her' that Yuan Lan Qing mentioned was naturally referring to Luo Xiao Xiao.

His expression slightly changed, and he spoke indifferently: "Mom, what nonsense are you spouting?"

What did he want of a woman with a watery personality?

"Didn't she come back?" Yuan Lanqing sighed and muttered, "I heard that she is still writing an interview script for the Qin group. You will meet from time to time …"

Yuan Lan Qing paused for a moment after she said that. She seemed to be unable to continue.

Hearing this, the plate in Qin Shaotong's hand slid down the side of the pool.

"Clang!" The sound seemed to have struck the heartstrings of a person.

"Mom." Young Noble Qin looked at him deeply, his voice cold, "This was what Xin Yixuan told you?"

"My friend got a picture of the family of three on the street." With a soft chirp, Yuan Lanqing explained, "I was planning to find a friend to ask about that woman. Only then did Yixuan slip up in front of us."

"She has already left for so many years, what does she mean by returning now?" Yuan Lanqing muttered to herself, feeling somewhat indignant in her heart.

It was with great difficulty that the events of that year came to a halt.

Now that that woman had returned, perhaps it would set off another storm?

She was afraid that the old rumours from back then would be pulled out, wouldn't the Qin family lose face once again?

"Mom, the Qin group only has a simple cooperative relationship with her."

He didn't even have the mood to eat anymore.

With that, he directly went upstairs …
