Chaos erupted at the Meng family's residence, with everyone rushing around in a panic.
Meng Weixi felt a void before his eyes. He instinctively reached for the corner of the shoe cabinet, but his palms were sweaty. He touched it, but his strength gave way, and the shoe slipped from his grasp. He closed his eyes, forcing back his tears.
He suddenly understood.
It turns out that all dreams must eventually end; in this world, there aren't that many people who will wait in the same place.
Fate is fleeting, and that girl's love for him seemed to be very brief.
——
As dusk fell upon our arrival at Fanyue.
Zhao Xiyin lowered her head and remained silent, following behind Zhou Qishen.
The two had been in this state ever since they got into the car. Zhou Qishen was in a bad mood, and Zhao Xiyin also had a knot in her heart; she felt a little uncomfortable and a little wronged.
Zhou Qishen pressed the keypad, the door opened, and she stood half a meter behind him, but did not move.
Zhou Qishen turned his head and looked at her quietly.
Zhao Xiyin's voice was nasal, as if she was desperately trying to hold back tears that were about to burst out. "I think I'll go back."
Zhou Qishen didn't move, but said, "Come in, I have something to tell you."
After closing the door, Zhou Qishen went straight to the bedroom and quickly returned to the living room. He was carrying a file folder, then took her hand and sat down on the sofa.
"Here are the property certificates for my properties in various places. I don't remember the exact number, but it's probably more than thirty. You can count them yourself later."
"Household registration book, equity information, and some investment dividend details, all sorts of things, just take a look."
"The spare car key and house key are in the third compartment of my safe."
Zhao Xiyin looked up, bewildered and at a loss for words.
Zhou Qishen remained calm, leaning against the sofa back, but he held her hand tightly the entire time. He said, "This house, including me, is now under your management. Mistress, it's time for you to go home."
Zhao Xiyin realized what was happening, and tears streamed down her face.
Zhou Qishen smiled and gently wiped away the tears on his cheek with his fingertips. "I'll just say they're tears of joy."
Zhao Xiyin leaned into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, hiccuping as she said intermittently, "Waaah... I forgot to tell you... my flight is tomorrow morning."
Zhou Qi frowned. "Where to?"
"Qinghai".
"..."
"Half a month."
"…………"
Zhao Xiyin didn't dare to make a mistake; she really had to leave tomorrow and couldn't let him stay there tonight.
When she reached the elevator, she suddenly turned back and hugged Zhou Qishen tightly.
"Boss Zhou," she said earnestly, "you wait for me to come back. When you get back, come to the airport to pick me up as soon as possible, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau as soon as possible, and get our marriage certificate as soon as possible."
Zhou Qishen was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows relaxed and he smiled truly handsomely.
I agreed, "Okay."
They took her home and said goodbye. Zhao Xiyin hadn't unpacked her luggage yet, so she spent a lot of time tidying up until 1 a.m. The next day her flight was at 10 a.m., and the film crew said they would arrange a car to pick her up.
The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning.
She had just finished brushing her teeth with her hair disheveled when she heard a knock on the door.
Teacher Zhao was still busy making noodles with minced meat sauce in the kitchen when she called out, "Xiao west, open the door."
Zhao Xiyin ran over while tying her hair, and when the door opened, she took a step back in fright. "You, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Qishen braced himself against the door with one hand and took her hand with the other, pulling her outside. "Come with me."
"Hey! I'm not wearing shoes!" Zhao Xiyin was dragged downstairs by him. Finding it too slow, Zhou Qishen simply picked her up and carried her in his arms.
"Zhou Qishen!" Zhao Xiyin exclaimed angrily, "Have you gone mad?!"
Zhou Qishen walked out of the building in a few steps, opened the car door, threw the person inside, and said succinctly, "Your shoes and clothes are in here, change them." After saying that, he got into the driver's seat.
Zhao Xiyin looked bewildered. "W-where are we going?"
Zhou Qishen started the car and turned the steering wheel.
She was really anxious. "My flight is at ten o'clock!"
Zhou Qishen: "After I finish my business, I'll take you directly to the airport. The driver will come to your house in half an hour to help you with your luggage. If you're quick, it won't be a problem."
Zhao Xiyin stammered, "...Go, go do what?"
Zhou Qishen said, "Let's get the marriage certificate."
He must have arranged it in advance; even though it wasn't officially opening time, there were already people waiting at the window. After quickly taking a photo, Zhou Qishen handed over their ID cards and photocopies, saying, "Thank you."
The man smiled and handed over two copies of the "Application for Remarriage Registration Statement," saying, "If there are no problems, please have both parties sign it."
Zhou Qishen didn't even look at it before signing his name. He glanced at Zhao Xiyin and urged, "We're going to miss our flight."
