The wealthy wife is also introverted

Although he doesn't do much in society, he often hears from Ming Ruizhi that girls nowadays can't even wash dishes, let alone cook.

"Nonsense! I started cooking when I was ten years old!" Ye Qingling raised her eyebrows quite proudly.

Qiao Xuanyi was speechless.What kind of ordeal does it take for a ten year old girl to cook?

He remembered that in the information Xiao Zhao gave him, Ye Qingling's family ran a winery, shouldn't their family let a ten-year-old girl cook?

"No one cooks for you? You started cooking when you were ten years old?" Qiao Xuanyi asked curiously.

Ye Qingling opened her mouth to answer, but suddenly smiled calmly. "That means no one is doing it. The poor child has long been the head of the house."

After speaking, Ye Qingling turned and went back to the kitchen.

Qiao Xuanyi realized that this was a girl with a story, yes, she had many, many stories and many, many questions.

He will dig them out one by one!
Soon, Ye Qingling's braised sauce arrived, and there was only one bowl of soup left, and she slowly stirred it in the pot with a spoon.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The cooking fume in the kitchen was extinguished, and Ye Qingling heard it from the kitchen.

"Open the door. Maybe it's for the gas bill." Ye Qingling said to Qiao Xuanyi outside.

In an old neighborhood like this, everything is old, there is no smart meter, and they still come to collect the gas bill.

Qiao Xuanyi got up and opened the door.He saw a little boy standing at the door.

The boy looked about seventeen, very thin, with no flesh on his face, very beautiful, with fair skin, a pair of eyes as bright as torches, and short clean hair that looked very refreshing.

He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and dark blue sweatpants.

When he saw Qiao Xuanyi, the boy was also taken aback.

The two looked at each other without speaking.

Ye Qingling didn't hear the sound from outside, so she quickly turned off the fire and went out to meet the person at the door.

"Wenjie..." Ye Qingling walked slowly in front of Qiao Xuanyi.

Qiao Xuanyi heard about Ye Qingling's love, so he probably knew who he was.

"Sister...this is..."

Today is Thursday, Ye Wenjie's school is dormitory, and every holiday is on Friday, so Ye Qingling dared to bring Qiao Xuanyi back.

How would she explain Qiao Xuanyi?
A woman brings a strange man into her house.how to explain?

Qiao Xuanyi didn't take it seriously.Since he is Ye Qingling's younger brother, it's enough to say hello.

His hands just stretched out, his mouth just opened.

Ye Qingling put her hand in front of him. "Wen Jie, this is your brother-in-law!"

puff--

Qiao Xuanyi turned to look at Ye Qingling in surprise, she was stepping on his feet. "Didn't you always want to see your brother-in-law?"

Ye Wenjie was also stunned. "Hello!" he said with a smile.

"Ah good."

Qiao Xuanyi knew that he was his brother-in-law, but Ye Qingling was a little...

"Wenjie, why are you back today? Isn't it Thursday?" Ye Qingling asked curiously.

"Oh, our second mock exam is over, this time the school decided to have a holiday, because we are too busy studying, we will take another day off." Ye Wenjie explained.

"Oh"

"Why are you and your brother-in-law here today?"

What was their purpose in coming here, since they didn't know he was coming?

"Well... your brother-in-law just came back from a business trip, and he happened to be on vacation with the film crew, so he wanted to come to clean the house. Your brother-in-law is also free, so he followed. He planned to pick you up at school tomorrow."

Ye Qingling started to lie.

"Okay, don't stand there, come and sit down." Ye Wenjie politely changed his shoes and put the bag back in the room.

Because he didn't know that Ye Wenjie was back, Ye Qingling cooked the dishes according to his own taste.Ye Wenjie has always had a bland taste due to illness since he was a child.

"Wen Jie, I didn't know you were back. I didn't prepare any food for you, so I'll cook two more." After speaking, Ye Qingling was ready to cook again in the kitchen.

"No, sister, I still need my brother-in-law to wait, let's eat together, I don't eat much anyway."

Ye Wenjie dragged Ye Qingling back from the kitchen.

There were three people at the table, and they were all awkward.

"Eat dinner." Ye Qingling immediately handed the chopsticks to Ye Wenjie and Qiao Xuanyi.

"Well, sister, you never told me that my brother-in-law is of mixed race." Looking at Qiao Xuanyi's light blue eyes, Ye Wenjie was very surprised.Anyone would think he was half-breed.

"Hmm...he is short-sighted and wears contact lenses." Ye Qingling quickly explained, "You say you still buy blue ones, what kind of mixed blood?"

Ye Qingling kept blinking at Qiao Xuanyi.

"Oh... just want to keep it fresh." Qiao Xuanyi gave a dry laugh.

As soon as Qiao Xuanyi took two bites, he began to cough violently, and his beautiful face turned red.

Ye Qingling immediately poured him a glass of water.

Most of Ye Qingling's dishes today are spicy.Where did Qiao Xuanyi eat such a spicy dish?

Marven Ye sighed. "Sister, you and your brother-in-law have been married for more than a year. Don't you know that brother-in-law can't eat spicy food?"

In Ye Wenjie's eyes, Ye Qingling is a person who cares about everything except his own affairs.

Qiao Xuanyi coughed twice, and drank the water in one gulp. "I'm just stuck in my throat."

Ye Qingling finally let go of her heart. Fortunately, Qiao Xuanyi cooperated, otherwise she would really be in trouble.

Qiao Xuanyi ate his food carefully.

After dinner, Ye Qingling went to the kitchen to pack things, and Ye Wenjie and Qiao Xuanyi sat down on the sofa.

Qiao Xuanyi felt uncomfortable, even though he knew that the person sitting next to him was his real brother-in-law.

"My sister said you are going to have a baby now, right?"

Although Ye Qingling gave him a clear answer, Ye Wenjie still didn't believe it.

Qiao Xuanyi nodded. "Yes."

Since Ye Qingling had already said it, he didn't intend to refute it.

"That's great!" Ye Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief. "I've got all the clothes for the baby. I hope you don't mind."

"Ok?"

Ye Qingling was cleaning in the kitchen, looking outside from time to time in case Qiao Xuanyi would say anything.

Fortunately, Ye Wenjie had never met her husband, she rarely spoke to him, and he knew very little about him.

"Brother, my sister is usually very careless, very careless, and has a bad temper. You let her, don't take her as common sense."

Ye Wenjie said with a cautious smile.

Apart from nodding, Qiao Xuanyi didn't know what to say.

Hearing all this, Ye Qingling saw her "brother-in-law" for the first time, as if she wanted to say everything she hadn't said before.

But Ye Qingling didn't like it.She didn't like him talking like he was dying.

When Ye Qingling quickly packed up the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, Ye Wenjie stopped nagging.

"Sister, you and brother-in-law should go back early. Brother-in-law just came back from a business trip, so go back early to rest."

"No, let your brother-in-law go back by himself, I will accompany you today."

"No need, my brother-in-law just came back, and you are also filming. It's rare to be together, so go home quickly." Ye Wenjie urged.

Ye Qingling didn't want to annoy Ye Wenjie, so she agreed.

Qiao Xuanyi was driving, while Ye Qingling sat in the passenger seat without saying a word.

Her grief was felt throughout the carriage.

When he pulled over suddenly, Ye Qingling looked out the window and wiped the tears from his face.

"Why did you stop?" Ye Qingling sniffed, then turned to look at Qiao Xuanyi.

"It's your brother"

Ye Qingling took a deep breath. "If you buy me a drink, I'll tell you."

Qiao Xuanyi quickly drove to a restaurant, it was not a good time to go to a bar, where he could have a quiet drink and listen to stories.

Ye Qingling took a bottle of white wine and drank a few sips until Qiao Xuanyi snatched it from her.

"Aren't you afraid of me rushing in if you drink too much today?" Qiao Xuanyi said jokingly.

He was anxious to lighten the atmosphere of mourning which he did not like.

Ye Qingling drank too much, choked up and coughed, her eyes filled with tears again.

"My brother has a congenital heart disease. The doctor said he won't live to be 17. Do you know how old he is?"

"..."

"Seventeen."

This is a number that Ye Qingling hates.She had dreaded this day since she was a child, but it finally came.

"Isn't it treatable? Since it was discovered early, why..."

Qiao Xuanyi couldn't figure it out.Although he doesn't know much about medicine, he also vaguely knows that this disease can be treated with surgery, which can at least prolong his life.If caught early, and mildly, it may not even have any effect.

Ye Qingling wiped the tears off her face with her palm.

"He really shouldn't be here." Ye Qingling smiled sadly, grabbed Qiao Xuanyi's bottle and took another sip.

Qiao Xuanyi seemed very moved.He gave a wry smile. "It's not impossible."

Wasn't he himself someone who shouldn't have been born?

Thinking about it this way, he and Ye Wenjie felt that they were kindred spirits.

People who shouldn't be here.

"My mum was an orphan and when she married my dad he was everything to her. Everything was fine but then everything changed, especially after I was born."

Qiao Xuanyi listened without interrupting Ye Qingling.

"Our Ye family is very traditional. We all want a son to inherit the family business, but my mother gave birth to me and was neglected by the family. Even my father was neglected by her, but my mother still loves me very much. Dad."

Ye Qingling smiled sadly again. "Even though she knew he had a woman and bore him twins, she wanted so badly to get well enough to give my dad a son. She didn't complain."

"..."

"My mother is finally pregnant. It's so uncomfortable. Wenjie gave birth prematurely. It may be that my mother is not in good health, and Wenjie is not in good health. I remember that Ye Wenjie has been sick all the time, and he is a circle younger than others at his age."

"But when my mom died, my dad took his lover straight into the house and paid little attention to me and my brother. Wenjie dragged on until he was sent to the hospital with a bad back."

Looking back, Ye Qingling always thought it was a nightmare.

"The doctor said that the child had a congenital heart disease and missed the best time for surgery. Our winery is doing well and we can afford it, but my father and my stepmother insisted that Wenjie should not be operated on."

Qiao Xuanyi was about to say some rude words, but seeing Ye Qingling's tears, his heart ached, so he didn't say anything.
