After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Chen Duo's sweet voice and her sunny smile left a good first impression.

Grandpa Qin came over with a smile and said, "Xiaoduo, welcome to our home. Come and sit down and talk to an old man like me."

After Grandpa Qin finished speaking, he looked at Qin Yi and said, "Why are you still standing there? Go and help your brother and sister-in-law."

"Okay." Qin Yi quickly washed his hands and made dumplings with Qin Ce and Qiao Xing.

Chen Duo and Grandpa Qin were sitting in the living room, and Qin Yi didn't know what Grandpa Qin was asking Chen Duo.

Anyway, he was feeling very nervous and uneasy.

He was afraid that Chen Duo would accidentally let the cat out of the bag and expose their relationship.

If grandpa knew that he just dragged Chen Duo to act, he would definitely break his legs.

His mind was not on making dumplings and he wasted several of them.

Qiao Xing was speechless, "Grandpa is not a bad person. He just chatted with her. Why are you so nervous?"

Qin Yi felt a little embarrassed when he saw the dumplings that he had eaten into a state of disarray.

"Sister-in-law, I'm just worried that grandpa would scare people. You know grandpa's temper. If he gets anxious, he might even have chosen the names of my and her future children."

"You're exaggerating. When Grandpa asked me to marry your brother, he didn't ask me anything. Instead, he was very straightforward and asked us to get the marriage certificate."

Qin Yi said, "This is what I'm worried about. You are different from Chen Duo. She has never thought about getting married. If grandpa really urges her to get married, I think he will be scared away."

Qin Ce said disdainfully, "If you're really worried, go out and sit with her instead of making a fuss here."

Qin Yi stopped making trouble. He simply washed his hands and quietly walked to the living room to listen to what Grandpa Qin and Chen Duo said.

He originally thought that Grandpa Qin would talk to Chen Duo about their future marriage in order to get them married as soon as possible.

But when Qin Yi pricked up his ears, he found that Grandpa Qin was just chatting about some daily topics.

Qin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandpa Qin saw him standing aside, looking like he wanted to come over but didn't want to come over, so he spoke to him directly.

"If you want to come over, just come and sit. Why are you standing there? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?"

Qin Yi scratched his head and said, "No, Grandpa, you misunderstood me..."

Grandpa Qin pointed at the sofa and said to Qin Yi, "Sit down."

Qin Yi could only walk over slowly.

Qiao Xing and Qin Ce stood in the kitchen, looking at the living room from time to time.

Both of them had expressions of watching a show.

Grandpa Qin said to Qin Yi, "I have talked a lot with Duoduo just now. Since you two are together, you should treat her well. If Duoduo is wronged by you, I don't care if you are my grandson or not. I will still deal with you when the time comes!"

Qin Yi didn't dare to refute, he could only nod obediently, "Don't worry, Grandpa, no matter what happens, I won't let Duoduo suffer any injustice."

This was the first time Qin Yi called Chen Duo like this, and he felt goose bumps all over his body.

Too gross.

Chen Duo sat next to him obediently, trying not to laugh inside.

Because Qin Yi's expression looked really funny.

Grandpa Qin scolded Qin Yi a few more times. Chen Duo felt that she couldn't just sit there like that. Now that she was here, as Qin Yi's girlfriend, she had to do her duty.

"Grandpa, Qin Yi is a very nice person. He treats me very well and will not bully me. Don't worry."

Grandpa Qin changed his tone when talking to Chen Duo.

"This kid has never been in a relationship, and he doesn't know how to love others. Anyway, Duoduo, remember, if he treats me badly, just tell grandpa, and grandpa will help you vent your anger."

For the first time, Qin Yi understood Qin Ce's feelings.

He and Chen Duo haven't gotten married yet, but Grandpa Qin has already favored Chen Duo.

If they get married, I'm afraid she will become the second Qin Ce and will have no status in Grandpa Qin's heart.

Qiao Xing and Qin Ce had already wrapped the dumplings and put them in the pot.

After the steaming dumplings came out of the pot, Grandpa Qin sat at the dining table, glanced at Qin Ce, and then looked at Qin Yi.

He said with relief, "I remember when I was a kid I also imagined a family like this being together, so lively and cheerful. Although there aren't that many people at home now, seeing Xiao Ce getting married and having children, and Xiao Yi having a girlfriend, I feel satisfied. A family doesn't necessarily have to have a lot of people, as long as it's harmonious."

Qin Ce and Qiao Xing looked at each other, and Qin Yi also looked at Chen Duo.

The TV show was playing a countdown to the New Year. Qin Yi picked up the cup and said, "Come on, I wish everyone all the best in the new year!"

After dinner, everyone watched the Spring Festival Gala together.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Duo stood up and said goodbye, "Grandpa, it's very late. I just want to go back to see you."

Grandpa Qin prepared a big red envelope for Chen Duo and told her to come over when she has time.

Chen Duo didn't want to take it at first, but couldn't resist Grandpa Qin's insistence, so she had to accept it.

Qin Yi said sourly, "You take it. Grandpa used to give red envelopes to me and my brother, but times have changed. Even grandchildren don't get red envelopes anymore."

As Qin Yi spoke, he looked at Qin Ce and asked, "Brother, I guess grandpa should give your share to sister-in-law, right?"

Qin Ce nodded calmly, "Yes."

Qin Yi spread his hands and said, "Look, what did I say?"

Seeing that he deserved a beating, Grandpa Qin picked up his cane and wanted to beat him, "You have no conscience, I didn't give you enough!"

The child hid and said to the others, "I'll go see Chen Duo off!"

After they left, Qin Ce suddenly said to Qiao Xing, "Go put on some clothes, I'll take you out."

Qiao Xing asked suspiciously, "Where are you going?"

"You'll know when you get there." Qin Ce pretended to be mysterious.

Qiao Xing handed the child to the nanny and went to change her clothes.

It snowed during the day and the temperature was very low at night. Steam came out of my mouth when I talked. The temperature was visibly low.

Qin Ce reached out and held Qiao Xing's scarf to prevent her from catching a cold, then took her hand.

Qiao Xing asked suspiciously, "You're not driving?"

Qin Ce said, "It's not far, no need to drive."

This was the first snow in Yucheng. Although it was not thick, Qiao Xing thought it was quite romantic to see the two of them walking hand in hand on the path.

After walking for about ten minutes, Qin Ce brought Qiao Xing to an open place.

Qiao Xing saw many boxes placed in the middle of the ground.

She looked closely and asked in surprise, "Is it fireworks?"

Qin Ce nodded, "I don't know which one looks good, I asked Xing Jiu to buy all the ones that can be put here, let's try it?"
