Chapter 351: Chapter 352: Old Qin’s Stratagem!

Qin Xiaoyuan sat on the sofa, behaving himself.

His wife had just gotten through menopause, and his daughter had just passed through puberty.

In theory, this should’ve been the most worry-free time for Qin Xiaoyuan.

Thinking back to the past few years, Qin Xiaoyuan shuddered with fear!

Despite his impressive demeanor as Director Qin outside, he was a pushover at home… talk about lack of status.

With his wife going through menopause, he dared not speak his anger!

With his daughter in puberty, he dared to speak but not to get angry!

Poor Mr. Qin was so worn out inside!

But thankfully, that was all in the past, and everything would get better.

However, just when he thought the good days were here, old Qin started worrying again.

He worried that Qin Yue was getting too old to marry off easily!

He also worried she might end up with a jerk and not have someone to rely on for life.

Qin Xiaoyuan had to be both father and mother!

A heap of work at the hospital by day, and a mountain of chores at home by night.

So exhausting!

Compared to Mr. Qin, Qin Yue’s mother was much more relaxed about it, just letting things take their course…

But a father’s concern for his daughter was absolutely from the bottom of his heart.

If anyone dared to bully his girl, the usually polite Qin Xiaoyuan would not hesitate to risk his life.

She was the apple of his eye, his cherished treasure.

Hearing the phone ring, Qin Xiaoyuan became anxious, restless, just couldn’t settle down!

His wife, fed up with Qin Xiaoyuan’s fuss, couldn’t help but speak up!

“Come here! I’ll teach you a trick!”

Qin Xiaoyuan hurried over.

“What trick? Tell me quickly!”

His wife smiled mysteriously, “Have you not thought about who could be calling our Yueyue at this time?”

“Don’t you want to know why Yueyue is unusually dolled up today?”

“Yueyue got up so early today, and after such a fuss with getting ready, bathing and makeup, who do you think would call at this time?”

“Who else could it be calling at this time?!”

His wife seemed as astute as Zhuge Liang or Sima Yi, eyes twinkling with amusement, as though she knew exactly who it was!

Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly saw the light!

Right!

How could he have been so silly!

Who else could be calling Qin Yue at this time?

The caller at this time was definitely the reason behind Yueyue’s makeup.

At this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan’s eyes rolled around as he came up with a foolproof plan.

Looking at who’s calling would reveal who it was, without Yueyue noticing anyone touched her phone.

With this in mind, Qin Xiaoyuan once again cautiously headed towards Qin Yue’s bedroom. As he was walking, he suddenly felt that his slippers were not conducive to his investigative work. Deciding to leave his slippers at the door, he picked up the phone to see three missed calls.

And…

The most important thing!

All three missed calls were from Chen Cang!

And… there was a string of messages on WeChat, with only one visible:

“I’m downstairs now!”

Qin Xiaoyuan immediately froze!

Suddenly, he heard his wife call out from outside, “Old Qin, help me get my phone!”

Qin Xiaoyuan’s face changed, realizing his wife was reminding him. He quickly placed the phone back down and hurried back to the sofa, lying down promptly!

His wife whispered, “She’s coming out soon!”

Qin Xiaoyuan looked flustered, patting his chest. How thrilling it was, he felt like a thief.

This is my own home…

What am I so nervous about?

At this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but take another deep breath.

At that moment, Qin Yue came out. She, who rarely wore makeup, had lightly touched up her face, and without needing much adornment, looked very beautiful.

The ponytail she usually sported was casually strewn, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes together made her truly stunning!

Even Qin Xiaoyuan felt a twinge of heartache looking at her!

Such a good girl.

Alas…

She will eventually have to marry someone.

How wonderful it would be for Daddy to take care of you for a lifetime…

At that thought, Qin Xiaoyuan’s mind became clouded with images of Chen Cang, and his feelings were deeply conflicted.

Little Chen is a decent guy, tall and strong, and his face clearly shows he’s a good person.

Actually, marrying Little Chen wouldn’t be too bad…

But then again, Qin Xiaoyuan felt that his daughter marrying anyone would be an immense loss!

This is his own daughter, after all.

Qin Yue began changing her clothes. The weather was nice today, and Qin Yue, unusually, wore a form-fitting dress that accentuated her curves, paired with a beautiful pair of wedge heels, instead of the baggy T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

Seeing Qin Yue dressed up like this, even her mother was stunned!

Who still had the mood to scroll through videos now!

Muttering internally, she thought, This is going to lead to trouble!

She hadn’t dressed up this much when they took her to matchmaking events, but today she was spontaneously putting on makeup and even… wearing this outfit and high heels???

At this sight, Qin Yue’s mother was taken aback and inwardly exclaimed, This is bad news.

She stared intently at Qin Xiaoyuan, making faces: Your daughter is going to get into trouble!

How could Qin Xiaoyuan not know, as he felt a twitch in his left eyelid, I’m well aware!

His wife conveyed with her eyes: Aren’t you going to show some concern and ask her?

Qin Xiaoyuan, with a dark expression, retorted, Why don’t you ask!

His wife glared, insisting, I’m asking if you will ask or not!

Qin Xiaoyuan caved in. He stood up and looked at Qin Yue in front of the floor-length Mirror, and couldn’t help but ask, “Yueyue, will you be home for lunch?”

Qin Yue, smiling and carrying her small bag, walked towards the door, “Mom, Dad, I’m off. No, I won’t be home for lunch.”

Qin Xiaoyuan quickly asked, “What about dinner?”

Qin Yue hesitated for a moment, “Not sure~!”

Qin Xiaoyuan shivered with fear at the thought, not sure about even dinner…

“Well, Yueyue, you have work tomorrow. Come home early to rest.”

Qin Yue nodded her head, “Ah yes, got it. Mom, Dad, I’m leaving!”

Having said that, she closed the door and walked away.

Qin Xiaoyuan was fraught with nervousness inside.

Thankfully it’s Sunday… What if she didn’t return home at night?

How should a father give advice?

His daughter was already 27 or 28 years old, so what kind of reasoning would work?

Qin Xiaoyuan felt a heavy heart.

Considering everything, Qin Xiaoyuan felt like he should do something.

What to do, what to do?

That’s it!

Suddenly, a plan came to Qin Xiaoyuan.

If he couldn’t educate Qin Yue well, he could at least try with Chen Cang!

At around ten o’clock at night, he would have the emergency department call him, make up a story about a patient, and ask Chen Cang to come over…

A perfect plan!

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoyuan felt like a genius!

Anyway, Chen Cang’s home was also near the hospital, so it would just be a reminder for him to go home early.

At that thought, Qin Xiaoyuan found his own plan to be exceptionally clever.

But first, he had to make a preliminary call to the emergency department.

With that in mind, Qin Xiaoyuan rushed to the balcony, leaned over the windowsill, and looked downstairs.

He had to make sure he didn’t end up calling the wrong person.

Luckily, the staff building was still one of the old ones, not too tall, so he could clearly see the man standing down below.

If that wasn’t Chen Cang, then who was it!

At this thought, Qin Xiaoyuan was awash with complicated emotions.

“Who is this guy?”

Qin Xiaoyuan suddenly saw his wife also leaning on the windowsill, watching the man walking with Qin Yue and nervously asking.

Qin Xiaoyuan sneered, acting as if it didn’t concern him, Heh heh heh heh!

I won’t tell you!

With that, Qin Xiaoyuan shook his head, “Don’t know! I’m not sure myself!”

ps: Last night I was too exhausted, couldn’t stay up any longer; I woke up early this morning to update—thank you, everyone. Also, writing scenes about romance and family drama is really tough…

Lastly, I’m asking for your votes!
