Xiao Li looked at the row of clothes. Although she was not surprised since she had experienced this in her previous life, she still pretended to be surprised and asked, “Why are there so many clothes?”

Qin Xiao smiled and said, “I got someone to buy them yesterday. You have too few clothes.”

Xiao Li raised her eyebrows. She actually had a lot of clothes!

“Won’t you go bankrupt if you buy clothes like this? And this house…”

Qin Xiao smiled. “You finally remembered to ask. I’ll tell you about it in the future.

Anyway, you don’t have to worry about bankruptcy…”

As Qin Xiao spoke, he walked to the clothes and picked out a set of home clothes for Xiao Li. “At home, wear this which is more comfortable.”

Xiao Li took the clothes and nodded. “Well… you can go back to your room first! I still have to get something…”

Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment and knew what Xiao Li wanted to get. He turned around and returned to his room.

After Qin Xiao left, Xiao Li went to get a set of underwear and a towel before going to the shower.

After a comfortable shower, Xiao Li came out, drying her hair with a towel.

Qin Xiao took the towel and dried her hair before saying, “I told Auntie Wu to get you an ice pack. Go downstairs and apply it to your eyes!”

Xiao Li nodded. “Are you going down, then?”

Qin Xiao smiled and said, “I’ll come after I’m done bathing.”

Xiao Li nodded and went downstairs.

When Auntie Wu saw Xiao Li coming down, she immediately brought over an ice pack. Xiao Li took the ice pack and placed it on her eyes. Only then did she feel that her eyes were less painful.

Soon, Qin Xiao came down after his bath. Qin Xiao sat beside Xiao Li and removed the ice pack from her eyes and put on a new ice pack for her.

Xiao Li suddenly felt her ice pack was removed. Then, her eyes were cooled by the new ice pack.

“You finished washing up so quickly?”

Qin Xiao smiled. “Yes, I’m done.”

As the two of them were talking, Qin Xiao’s phone rang loudly. Qin Xiao picked it up and saw that the call was from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. He smiled and picked it up…

“Mom…”

Just as Qin Xiao answered the call, curses sounded from the other end…

“Qin Xiao, you brat. When I was in the country, I often urged you to fall in love and get married, but you ignored me…

Now that I just went overseas with your father, you decided to get married. Are you deliberately going against me?

You and your brother are really a pair of bad boys. I gave birth to two sons, but I didn’t even manage to attend my two sons’ weddings…

Do you both want to piss me off!”

Back then, Qin Tan’s marriage was also a flash marriage. He was even faster than Qin Xiao. He straightaway brought the bride to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage. He did not even hold a wedding…

The moment Mrs. Qin’s voice sounded, Qin Xiao had already placed his phone further away to protect his eardrums.

Mrs. Qin’s voice was so loud that even Xiao Li heard her. She quickly took off the ice pack and sat up…

Qin Xiao waited for Mrs. Qin to take a breather before bringing the phone back to his ear. He said softly, “Mom, your daughter-in-law heard what you said just now.”

After Qin Xiao finished speaking, the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before hanging up.

Qin Xiao placed his phone on the table and counted to Xiao Li. “One, two, three…”

On the count of three, the phone rang again…

Qin Xiao looked at Xiao Li and said, “Answer it! It’s for you…”

Xiao Li took the phone nervously. She had never interacted with Mr. and Mrs. Qin before.

In her previous life, she first ran away from the marriage and later moved in to be with the Qin family. In the few months she was there, she had never met Qin Tan, not to mention Mr. and Mrs. Qin.

Xiao Li picked up the call nervously. As soon as the call connected, Mrs. Qin’s voice sounded. “Brat, give the phone to Xiao Li. She’s called Xiao Li, right?”

When Xiao Li heard this, she braced herself and called out, “Mom, I’m Xiao Li.”

When Mrs. Qin heard Xiao Li’s voice, her attitude changed completely!

“Oh, it’s Li! Your voice sounds so nice.

Oh, Li! Both of you got married in such a hurry. Your dad and I didn’t make it back in time. Don’t be unhappy!

Your dad and I will buy plane tickets to come back now!”

Xiao Li quickly said, “Mom, I’m not angry. We were too anxious about the marriage. It’s our fault.

Mom and Dad don’t have to rush back. Enjoy yourselves during your trip.”

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, “Sigh… there’s not much fun here. It’s not as important as going back to see you!”

Xiao Li was going to say something, but Qin Xiao took the phone and said, “Can you first give us some time to enjoy a romantic couple’s world? Don’t be in a hurry to come back and be an unwanted third party…”

Mrs. Qin was furious. “You brat, do you think I want to see you?! I’m going back for Xiao Li…

You want some alone time! I’m not giving it…”

Mrs. Qin hung up.

Seeing that he had hung up, Xiao Li asked, “When are Dad and Mom coming back?”

Qin Xiao smiled and said, “They won’t be back so soon. If nothing goes wrong, they won’t be back until next month…”

Xiao Li nodded. To be honest, she was really not prepared to meet his parents. It was mainly because she had taken Qin Xiao away in her previous life. Now that she was going to face Mr. and Mrs. Qin, she felt a little guilty…

“Don’t think about these things. Have a good rest today. Let’s go back and see Dad tomorrow,” Qin Xiao said calmly.

Xiao Li nodded and put the matter of Mr. and Mrs. Qin aside.

The next morning, Qin Xiao drove Xiao Li back to the Xiao family.

If not for the fact that she could not return yesterday and could only return on the third day according to custom, Xiao Li would have returned yesterday.

As soon as she arrived at the Xiao family’s house, Xiao Li ran in. However, just as she ran in, she heard her aunt crying.

In the living room, Xiao Zhengnan, Xiao Zhengfang, and Chang Fang were sitting on the sofa. Chang Fang was wiping her tears and talking non-stop…

“Second Brother! I know that you have people under you. You have to catch the mastermind behind Ting’er and Yan’er’s accidents!

Ting’er and Yan’er are so seriously injured. I don’t believe it’s just a momentary conflict. From what I see, someone is deliberately targeting Ting’er and Yan’er…”

Xiao Li walked in and asked Xiao Zhengnan, “Dad, what’s going on?”

When Xiao Zhengnan saw that Xiao Li had returned, he immediately felt better.

“Li, you’re back. Dad thought that both of you are going to be late.

Come and sit down…”

Xiao Li walked to Xiao Zhengnan’s side and sat down. She greeted her uncle and aunt, and asked what had happened again.

Xiao Zhengnan said indifferently, “Your cousins, Ting’er and Yan’er, went to the bar yesterday and got into a conflict with someone. Ting’er was beaten up so badly that a few of his ribs were broken. Yan’er was even worse off. Her leg was broken and her face was cut by a wine bottle…”
