Zhai Dajiang ended up waiting for half an hour.
After all, Qin Wenhao still had to finish washing the clothes in the basin and hang them up to dry.
But he didn’t go into Fu Mingxue’s dorm room, even with Qin Wenhao there.
When he saw it was about time, he left his own quarters and went to find Qin Wenhao.
The two of them arrived at the cafeteria.
"Want a drink?" Zhai Dajiang asked.
He didn’t usually drink. After all, how could he drink during work hours? What if an emergency came up?
But today was a special occasion, and he was off duty.
Qin Wenhao glanced at him. "I quit drinking."
Zhai Dajiang was dumbfounded.
’Why would a young guy like him quit drinking?’
They ordered several dishes, and Zhai Dajiang insisted on paying.
As they carried their food to a table and sat down, Zhai Dajiang couldn’t help but remark with a sigh,
"I never thought we’d be sitting here, eating together. But man, you really lucked out, marrying a woman like Group Leader Fu."
The Qin family’s ancestors must be smiling down on them.
Qin Wenhao shot him a sidelong glance before saying, "I have my father-in-law to thank for that. He arranged the marriage years ago."
Zhai Dajiang’s eyes widened. "Your father-in-law? How come I’ve never heard you mention him?"
Qin Wenhao sneered. "Are we that close? Do I have to tell you everything?"
Zhai Dajiang was speechless. ’You bastard...’
’Whatever,’ he thought. ’I’m the bigger person here.’
"Oh, right. I heard about your grandfather—my condolences."
The topic suddenly grew heavy.
Qin Wenhao fell silent.
He had been very close to his grandfather.
He was still in Beijing City and hadn’t been there for his grandfather’s final moments—a source of deep regret for him.
They both fell silent.
Even the food seemed to lose its flavor.
Zhai Dajiang had only found out about it yesterday.
