A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Chapter 264 Temporary Rescheduling

The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Qin each left the Qin residence with a suitcase.

Grandpa Qin and Qin Yifeng went to the company early in the morning. Wang Shufang was not at home either, probably trying to find connections to save Qin Yu.

The two left quietly, without anyone coming out to ask questions or make a fuss. Only the butler saw them leaving with their luggage, greeted them, and assumed they were going on vacation, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Qin's parents did indeed move into the marital home they had prepared for Qin Yiche. It was a fully furnished house, but it was empty anyway. Qin's parents planned to use it as a temporary place until they found a suitable alternative, or if Qin Yiche expressed interest, they would buy him a new house and set up a new marital home.

The house was a large, single-level apartment by the river, not as luxurious or spacious as a villa. But Qin's mother was extremely happy. Although the villa was large, it felt like only their room was their own private space. No matter how big the other places were, they didn't truly belong to them. Now, here, she was truly free.

After putting down their luggage, Qin's mother began packing herself, with Qin's father helping her. Seeing a smile finally appear on Qin's mother's face, which had been gloomy for several days, Qin's father felt that his decision to move out of the villa was the right one; perhaps he should have done it a long time ago!

After tidying up the new house, Mr. and Mrs. Qin called Mo Ze and Qin Yiche respectively. They knew that the two of them were going back to Jiangcheng the next day, and asked them to come back for dinner so that the family could get together.

Mo Ze has been collecting and organizing evidence materials for the past two days. Because the case has been going on for so long, he is still worried that Qin Yu will not be able to be convicted. He didn't expect that he would be able to get out easily after finally getting him locked up.

After staying up all night to collect and organize the materials and send them to the lawyer, Mo Ze, Qin Yiche, and Lin Ling went to have dinner with Qin's parents.

Qin's mother said with great enthusiasm that she wanted to eat at home and that she would cook herself.

When Mo Ze and his team arrived, they found Qin's father wearing an apron, busy in the kitchen, while Qin's mother stood by, smiling and explaining, "I've already burned several steaks. If I keep frying them, we won't have anything to eat tonight..."

Qin Yiche was about to say something, but then touched his nose and changed the subject, "Even if Mom's steak is burnt, it's still delicious." He was flattering her scathingly. Just then, Qin's father came out with the steak and smiled at Qin Yiche, saying, "Your mom's steaks are all in the kitchen, saved for you. Go ahead and eat if you like."

Qin Yiche, shameless as ever, added, "Then let's eat what Dad made first~"

Lin Ling entered with a standard smile and politely followed. Qin's mother warmly pulled her to sit down first, gave her the first piece of steak, and said to Mo Ze with a smile, "Next time, bring Niannian along, so our family can go out and have some fun together."

Moze nodded in agreement.

The family sat together, chatting idly, and no one mentioned what had happened the day before.

It's a scar in everyone's heart, still bleeding and unhealed.

It takes time to treat.

On the day they returned to Jiangcheng, the three of them had bought tickets for an early morning flight. Before leaving the hotel, they received a call from the Qin family. Old Master Qin suddenly said he wanted to see Mo Ze.

Qin Yiche sensed something was wrong and didn't want Mo Ze to go back. "Brother, he's probably asking you to let Uncle off the hook and not pursue what happened back then. Don't go."

Mo Ze thought for a moment. After all, there was his father's connection to the family, so it wouldn't be appropriate not to go, since the other party was an elder. "It's okay, let's change the tickets. We'll leave this afternoon. I'll go back for a bit."

"Brother~" Qin Yiche wanted to persuade Mo Ze, but Mo Ze only took his coat, left his suitcase, and left the hotel first, taking a taxi to the villa.

Lin Ling stood to the side, looking at Qin Yiche curiously, and asked, "Where did President Mo go? Are we... still leaving?"

"The old man asked my brother to go back, so we can't leave now. I'll change my flight first," Qin Yiche replied dejectedly, slumping onto the sofa and taking out his phone to start changing his flight.

Lin Ling nodded to the side and silently sat down on the sofa to wait quietly.

When she's not talking, she appears to be a rather quiet girl, but when she does speak, she comes across as a very outgoing and cheerful person, which is quite a contrast.

Qin Yiche changed his flight to 5 PM, as there were no tickets available for earlier times. After changing his ticket, he looked up and saw Lin Ling sitting upright opposite him.

Qin Yiche was taken aback when he saw Lin Ling sitting like a primary school student. Then he smiled and said, "What are you doing? You're sitting so upright. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was the headmaster giving a lecture."

"Huh?" Lin Ling was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized that she had been tense and seemed a little nervous.

She spent the entire week by Qin Yiche's side. As they spent more time together, she began to notice him and discovered that although he appeared cold on the outside, he was actually just a childish big kid.

Picky eater, playful, naive, and sharp-tongued...

Last night, after having dinner at Qin's parents' house, Qin Yiche returned to the hotel. Since it was still early, he took Lin Ling and Mo Ze to the rooftop bar of the hotel for drinks.

The three of them had just sat down and each ordered a cocktail when Mo Ze received a phone call and left to go back to his room to work. Qin Yiche and Lin Ling stayed behind to listen to the resident singer performing somber love songs.

When someone approached Qin Yiche to chat, he would always put his arm around Lin Ling's shoulder and raise his chin to show them that he was taken. When bolder girls pretended not to understand and sat down next to him, inviting him to hang out, Qin Yiche would reply, "Sorry, I have a girlfriend."

The other person would stand up, glare fiercely at Lin Ling, and turn away angrily.

After this happened four or five times, Lin Ling went from feeling a little uncomfortable at first to becoming increasingly uncomfortable later on. A blush slowly crept onto her cheeks, whether from drinking or from being embraced by Qin Yiche, she didn't know.

Then another girl came. This one seemed different from the others because she knew Qin Yiche. She immediately called out to Qin Yiche, "Qin Yiche, what are you doing here?" Then she sat down next to Qin Yiche, and Qin Yiche immediately moved closer to Lin Ling, so the two of them were next to each other.

The girl seemed to have just noticed Lin Ling's presence, and her gaze towards Lin Ling was full of hostility as she asked Qin Yiche, "Who is she?"

Qin Yiche was much more serious this time than before. He sat up straight, put his arm around Lin Ling, and solemnly introduced her, "Let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, Lin Ling."

Upon hearing the words "fiancée," both the other person and Lin Ling widened their eyes simultaneously.
