Chapter 41: Your Boyfriend is Handsome
Qin Ande didn’t say much before a phone call came in. After answering it, he told Qin Mo and Wen Xia a few words and then left. As he was leaving, he even gave Wen Xia his phone number.
When she saw him take the elevator down, Wen Xia’s face immediately fell. “Husband, do you think Dad won’t like me anymore?”
Qin Mo chuckled softly and gently touched the ends of her hair. “How could my dad not like my adorable wife?”
Qin Ande and Jiang Yu were even kinder to Wen Xia than to their own son. Whenever they went on a business trip, they would always bring her something.
He added, “No matter what my wife is like, my dad’s son likes her.”
“Likes her a lot,” he added.
Wen Xia couldn’t help but tiptoe to pinch his cheek, smiling as she said, “You’re really good at talking.”
“No.”
Qin Mo raised an eyebrow, shaking his head seriously. Then he added, “But… my wife is amazing too.”
Wen Xia: “……”
This was the true nature of Qin Xueba—Qin Pervert!
With only twenty minutes left of their one-hour lunch break, the two of them quickly ate a bowl of noodles.
After their afternoon classes, Qin Mo saw Wen Xia obediently carrying her backpack, her fair face looking so innocent.
That feeling of luring young girls came over him again.
The two of them left Pearson, and a long line had formed at the milk tea shop across the street. Qin Mo glanced at Wen Xia. “Want something to drink?”
Wen Xia nodded.
Qin Mo stood in the line, while Wen Xia crouched by the glass window nearby, taking out her phone to check her social media.
Liu An’an had posted: The sun is so big today, keep going!
Wen Xia commented, “Did you just wake up?”
Scrolling down, she saw a post from Liu Boyi, accompanied by nine pictures. She clicked on it, and it was a mix of sports event and speech photos. The one in the middle was of her and Qin Mo standing on the podium. She was smiling happily, while Qin Mo looked at her.
She clicked to save it.
Then, she turned her head to Qin Mo and took a photo of the long line at the milk tea shop, captioning it: “A cup of milk tea after extra classes, feeling great.”
After posting it, replies quickly followed.
Jiang Yan: Ahhhhhh!
Liu An’an: Handsome cousin is so eye-catching!!
Jiang Xu: Is the milk tea good?
Qiao Yu: So boring.
Female high school classmate: Xia Xia, please introduce me to the tallest and most handsome boy.
Summer Breeze: Finish your lessons and hurry back.
Wen Xia stuck out her tongue sheepishly; she had forgotten to block Wen De.
Just as she was about to exit her social media, another comment popped up.
Xia Xia Baby: Your boyfriend is really handsome.
Wen Xia froze when she saw the nickname “Xia Xia Baby,” then clicked on it to find that it was Qin Mo’s account. When had he changed it to “Xia Xia Baby”?
Liu An’an replied again: Who’s this ‘Xia Xia Baby’? Gossip face.
Jiang Yan: +1
Wen Xia remembered that Wen De was still watching, so she replied: “Don’t spread rumors, don’t believe rumors.”
Xia Xia Baby: The truth is clear—your boyfriend is really handsome.
At this moment, Qin Mo walked over and pulled her up, showing her the blocked visitors on his phone. In such a short time, more than ten people had visited. “Xia Xia Baby, who is ‘Summer Breeze’? He added me, but I rejected him,” he said, his tone tinged with jealousy.
“Dad,” Wen Xia blinked her innocent big eyes.
Qin Mo: “……”
Was it too late to add him now?
He found the friend request from earlier and sent a verification message. His hand slipped.
The other party quickly accepted and sent a message: Classmate, don’t send random things.
Qin Mo: “……”
Wen Xia glanced at it and couldn’t help but laugh so much her stomach hurt.
Qin Mo locked the screen, looking at Wen Xia with a pitiful expression.
…
On the way home, Wen Xia’s phone kept buzzing with notifications—most of them said Qin Mo was handsome.
Wen De was on a business trip and wouldn’t be back until tomorrow. Qin Mo took Wen Xia home, and neither Jiang Yu nor Qin Ande was there. Liu Ci had taken a leave for the day.
The large house was empty, just the two of them.
Qin Mo tied an apron and began washing his hands to cook, while Wen Xia sat in the living room doing her homework.
“Husband, what is sin(3a) equal to?”
“3sina – 4(sina)^3?”
……
After dinner, Qin Mo glanced at his phone. There were more than ten new visitors to his blocked list. He clicked through them one by one, all of them male.
He put down his phone and looked at Wen Xia, who was still doing her homework. “Wife, do you have confidence in getting first place in the No.2 Middle School’s senior class?”
Wen Xia looked at him in confusion. “Why?”
“High school seniors can attend No.1 Middle School as exchange students,” Qin Mo explained.
To ensure safety, the No.2 Middle School would send the top student in senior class to No.1 Middle School as an exchange student.
Wen Xia estimated her grades and realized she was more than forty places behind the top student. The top student at the No.2 Middle School had good grades, except for a slightly weaker performance in English. In the last monthly exam, he scored over 650 points.
Even if Wen Xia scored 150 in English, it would still be hard to catch up to the first-place student.
She shook her head. “No, I’m too bad at math.”
She had confidence, but she didn’t want to be blindly confident.
“Stick with me, Wife. I’ll guarantee you full marks,” Qin Mo was already determined to have Wen Xia attend No.1 Middle School as an exchange student in her senior year.
The two of them continued to quietly work on their assignments. When Wen Xia looked at the time again, it was already 11 PM.
“It’s late, I should go home.”
“Just sleep here. My parents won’t be back for a while,” Qin Mo said, concerned about her being alone at home.
……
The next morning at 7 AM.
Whenever Wen Xia got her period, no matter how careful she was, she would always end up leaving a stain on the bed.
Looking at the sky-blue striped sheets now marked with a large red stain, she called out to Qin Mo, who was sleeping on the couch, “Husband, there’s a stain.”
Qin Mo yawned and got up, already used to it. “It’s fine, I’ll wash it later.”
As they were changing the sheets, they heard footsteps. Before they could react, Jiang Yu and Qin Ande appeared at the door.
Wen Xia had gone to the bathroom earlier and hadn’t closed the door properly.
Wen Xia froze.
Qin Mo, holding the sheets, also froze.
Jiang Yu and Qin Ande hadn’t expected to see something like this. Agreeing to early dating and seeing this were two very different things. Both of them were angry.
Qin Ande’s face darkened. “Qin Mo, come out here.”
Qin Mo followed him out.
Jiang Yu looked at Wen Xia with concern. “Xia Xia, go to the hospital with Aunt Qin for a check-up.”
At this age, a girl’s body is still developing, and there could be some impact.
“Mom… Aunt Qin, it’s not like that. My dad is on a business trip, and Qin Mo didn’t feel comfortable leaving me alone at home, so he let me stay here. He sleeps on the couch, and I sleep in the bed.”
Wen Xia wanted to cry. How could such a big misunderstanding happen? She added, “I got my period, and I accidentally made a mess.”
She raised her hand. “Really, Aunt Qin.”
……
In the afternoon, as soon as Wen Xia entered the dorm, Liu An’an and Jiang Yan each grabbed one of her hands.
Jiang Yan grinned mischievously. “Xia Xia, who is ‘Xia Xia Baby’? Tell us, or we’ll…,” she said, making a cutting motion across her neck.
Wen Xia drooped her little face, feeling weak. “I don’t want to live anymore.”
“What happened?” Liu An’an asked, worried.
Wen Xia sat on Jiang Yan’s bed. “I dreamed that my boyfriend’s parents didn’t like me.”
Actually, Qin Ande and Jiang Yu had figured out it was just a misunderstanding, so they didn’t say anything further. But Wen Xia still felt embarrassed.
Extremely embarrassed.
Liu An’an and Jiang Yan both snorted at the same time. Jiang Yan patted her shoulder and smiled. “Don’t worry, Xia Xia. You don’t even have a boyfriend.”
