Chapter 1646 The Most Caring Mother-in-Law in the Imperial Capital (Second Update)
But now it seems that she was wrong.
Like the Cheng family, the Liu family was rotten to the core.
The virtues of loving father, son, filial piety, and brothers and brothers being respectful do not exist in their dictionary at all. Power, money, and desire are synonymous with these two families.
Looking at the delicacies on the table, Ruan Qi suddenly felt that it was a bit off-putting to mention the Liu family in front of so many delicacies.
"The Liu family is their own creation. After my grandma passed away, we have nothing to do with the Liu family. My parents don't care who they marry, whether they live or die. Grandpa Xi, we don't say That's it, let's eat."
Mr. Xi knew that Ruan Qi didn't like to mention Liu's family, so he changed the subject and talked about something else.
After the whole family had finished their dinner, the sunset outside the window had gradually reached the other side of Xiling.
The sky was getting dark, and the lights of the huge Xijia Manor were lit up one after another, and the heritage and luxury of the ancient family gradually appeared in the night.
Ruan Qi wandered around the main building for a while, and when she was almost finished eating, Duan Wei came over and took her upstairs.
"Knowing that you're going to stay overnight, I cleaned the second bedroom next door to Lao Jiu. See what you don't like, and I'll ask someone to change it."
As Duan Wei said, she slowly pushed open the door of the second bedroom.
Immediately, the pink and blue macaroons flooded the sky, making Ruan Qi dizzy.
she:"???"
Did she go to the wrong place?
Isn't this the Xi's mansion, but Disney?
Ruan Qi was dazed, and stood at the door of the second bedroom for a long time without daring to go in.
Seeing her not moving, Duan Wei thought she was restrained and embarrassed, so she turned around and walked over, took her hand and led her into the room.
Ruan Qi: "..."
The crescent white princess bed, light purple curtains and bed curtains, all the furniture has been replaced with pearl white European style court style, the wall is pasted with powder blue wallpaper, even the curtains are newly replaced, and the ruffled lace is pleated in princess pink. , the style is girly and fresh.
In addition, Duan Wei may be afraid that she will sleep alone, so she added several dolls to the bed.
The dolls are also all princess-style, with a powder-blue theme, and two of the bunnies are wearing pink lace dresses.
Ruan Qi: "..."
Ruan Qi didn't know what to say for a while.
Although she also has a girlish heart, she has never lived in such a pink room. Looking at the bed full of dolls, she suddenly had the illusion that she was not twenty years old, but two years old.
"Auntie..." Ruan Qi opened her mouth, the room was so shocking that she didn't know how to speak for a while.
Duan Wei's faint voice rang in my ears: "I don't have a daughter, so I don't know what kind of decoration style little girls like. Your uncle said that little girls like pink, so I tried to prepare it. What do you think? If If you don’t like it, you can change it again. I also prepared a set of blue ones.”
Ruan Qi was startled when she heard this, and turned to look at Duan Wei.
Duan Wei's expression was as indifferent as ever, but there was a little concern and expectation hidden in those cold phoenix eyes.
Ruan Qi looked at her, her heart suddenly softened into a puddle of honey, and the whole ball fell onto the soft cotton candy.
Soft and sweet.
Just as sweet as her future mother-in-law.
Ruan Qi's peach blossom eyes slowly overflowed with a smile.
She grabbed Duan Wei's hand and shook it coquettishly, her voice was tender and soft: "Thank you, Auntie, I really like this room! When I was a child, I wanted to have a princess bed, and you made it happen for me today~"
Duan Wei is more than 1.7 meters tall, and Ruan Qi is half a head shorter than her. The little girl held her hand, raised her head and looked at her with sparkling eyes. The joy and admiration in her eyes seemed to be really looking at her mother.
Duan Wei's indifferent phoenix eyes were filled with warmth.
She raised her hand and rubbed the little girl's head a few times: "Just as long as you like it. Just tell me if you're not used to it. This is your home, don't be restrained."
Ruan Qi nodded her head obediently.
At this time, footsteps came from outside the room.
Ruan Qi and Duan Wei turned their heads at the same time, and saw Xi Jiu, who had changed into black home clothes, walking in with a plate of fruit.
It was also the first time for Xi Jiu to see the appearance of the second bedroom after changing clothes.
He stepped into the door, looked at the girl fans rushing towards him, and his steady steps suddenly stopped.
He paused on the spot for half a second, and when he raised his foot again, the sound of his footsteps became faintly heavier.
Xi Jiu: "This room..."
"This room is very beautiful, my aunt helped me decorate it!" Ruan Qi hurriedly interrupted him, turned her head to wink at him desperately, "Do you think it looks good, Jiujiu?"
Xi Jiu looked at the little girl whose eyeballs were about to roll out, was silent for a moment, and nodded against his conscience.
"Looking good." It is suitable for little girls under ten years old.
Seeing his cooperation, Ruan Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and smiled sweetly at Duan Wei: "Look, Auntie, even Jiujiu likes this room. It's really beautiful!"
A smile flashed in Duan Wei's eyes.
She pinched Ruan Qi's tender cheeks, then turned her head and asked Xi Jiu, "What are you doing here?"
"Send fruit." Xi Jiu pointed to the fruit plate in his hand.
Duan Wei nodded slightly: "Xiao Qi will have a physical examination for your father in a while, don't bother her, let her rest in the room for a while. You put down the fruit plate and come with me."
Xi Jiu knew that there was nothing she could do under the eyes of her elders, so she obediently put down the fruit plate, rubbed the little girl's head, and left with Duan Wei.
The second bedroom door slowly closed.
Duan Wei turned her head and glanced at Xi Jiu, "Follow me to the terrace."
Xi Jiu didn't know why, so she followed her to the terrace at the end of the corridor.
Duan Wei carefully closed the patio door, and after making sure no one would overhear, she lowered her voice and said to him, "Xiaoqi found that sketchbook in the drawer of your bookshelf this afternoon. Why are you so careless? Do you know how to lock the drawer?"
Xi Jiu's face changed slightly.
"Did she see the painting inside?"
"I don't know." Duan Wei shook her head, "She had already opened the book when I entered the room. I asked her how your drawing was, and she said that she just opened it and hadn't had time to read it yet. But I always feel that I don't know what to do. .What's on the first page of your sketchbook?"
Xi Jiu said in a hoarse voice, "It was Xiao Qi ten years ago, the scene where we met for the first time in the fishing village."
Duan Wei frowned tightly upon hearing this.
"You shouldn't put such a dangerous thing in the bedroom. If you have to put it, at least it should be equipped with a lock. Fortunately, I went in time today, otherwise, if Xiaoqi finished reading all the sketches, I'll see how you explain it !"
Xi Jiu was also a little scared.
He had indeed thought about putting the sketchbook in the safe and locking it up. But that notebook was too important to him. When he and Ruan Qi didn't meet again, the drawings in the sketchbook were medicine for him to survive. He couldn't sleep without it next to his pillow.
Later, when he and Ruan Qi were together, the number of times he opened the sketchbook decreased rapidly.
But Ruan Qi has always had a ticking time bomb psychologically, and Xi Jiu's heart has been hanging because of her. He worried too much, and would always be awakened by nightmares when he slept at night.
After waking up, Xi Jiu couldn't call Ruan Qi, so she could only turn out the sketchbook again and read it page by page to make herself feel at ease.
Master Xi who woke up from a nightmare: Can't sleep, holds a sketchbook and misses his wife, wronged.
