When Mrs. Qin came downstairs, her son and daughter-in-law were already gone.
She had thought her daughter-in-law would at least come into the house for a bit so she could make her a snack.
But as it turned out, Qin Wenhao had intercepted her and whisked her straight away.
She was speechless for a moment.
Then, just as she was about to turn off the lights and go upstairs to bed, she glanced outside and noticed the main gate was wide open.
She couldn’t help but wonder— ’Could it be those two haven’t left yet?’
’Are they just standing outside chatting?’
She listened for a moment, but it was completely silent outside. There wasn’t a sound.
She was hesitant to go out. ’What if the young couple is embracing out there? If I just go out now, won’t that embarrass Mingxue?’
’Forget it. I’ll leave them be.’
She started to head upstairs again.
But after just two steps, she felt something wasn’t right.
’Even if those two wanted to embrace, they wouldn’t do it outside, would they?’
’Is there no room in the house?’
’It may be the middle of the night, but who knows if someone might be out there?’
’Besides, that boy Qin Wenhao shouldn’t be *that* impatient... right?’
After some thought, she decided to head outside anyway.
To avoid any potential awkwardness, she called out first, "Mingxue, is that you?"
’That should serve as a warning, right?’
But no one answered.
It was still completely silent.
Mrs. Qin walked to the gate and looked out—not a soul in sight.
She couldn’t help but sigh in exasperation.
’So that rotten kid had just brazenly whisked her away without even letting her step inside.’
’He didn’t even bother to close the gate.’
’Was he really in that much of a hurry?’
──
Meanwhile, Qin Wenhao had quickly brought Fu Mingxue to their courtyard house.
Fu Mingxue hopped off the bicycle the moment it stopped.
