There was silence on the other end of the phone. Then, after another sound of prying open the door, Qin Yunmo's voice finally came through—

"What's up with him?"

"Brother Lin Qiu's father is coming back today, aren't you going to come and see him?"

"Click!"

There was no response on the other end of the phone; instead, there was the sound of a door being pried open.

After Qin Yunmo had finally finished packing his things, she finally replied—

"It's just that the parents are going home, so what? You two hurry up and come back, don't cause them any trouble."

"Brother Lin Qiu asked us to stay for another dinner and invited you to come along too."

"Ok?"

"Big sister, haven't you always wanted to learn cooking? Lin Qiu's dad is a professional, you can definitely learn a lot from him!"

Qin Yunmo was immediately tempted by what Xiao Xuan said.

Lin Qiu was already a good teacher, and we don't know how powerful his father is, but we can't let our guard down because of that!

"Tell me the truth, is there something you're hiding from me?"

"His father also brought a colleague, and that colleague brought his daughter along, so the situation is a bit unusual..."

Upon hearing her say that, Qin Yunmo immediately understood what mischief this little guy was up to.

She wanted to use herself as a shield to prevent others from poaching her boyfriend!

She and Lin Qiu didn't have that kind of relationship, and their past relationship was neither legitimate nor proper, which could even cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

"I have something to do today, let's talk about it later."

Qin Yunmo refused in a deep voice, turned off his phone, and lay down on the sofa, looking exhausted.

But the moment she closed her eyes, the image of Ze Zhi and Lin Qiu holding hands involuntarily appeared before her, and she felt inexplicably annoyed.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xuan, on the other side, kept hearing her older sister's obviously displeased tone of rejection, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

It seems there's something going on with the eldest sister!

125 - This route looks so familiar?

"Ugh—I'm exhausted."

A somewhat dejected grumble echoed in the living room. The figure who had returned from get off work slumped on the sofa, his handsome face, which bore a resemblance to Qin Yunmo, filled with a conflicted expression.

How should I bring this up with my daughter?

If I were to directly suggest that I take her to meet my colleague's son to see if she would like him, I'd probably just get a cold shoulder, or she might not even want to go.

But we've already made an agreement with Lao Lin, so we can't break our promise. We need to come up with a reason!

Besides, even though Ruoyun has already set her sights on someone, she has to be prepared for the possibility of failure! She doesn't expect anything to happen at this meeting, she just hopes to have a good first impression of him!

"Yunmo—are you there?"

"what happened?"

At Qin Zheng's call, Yun Mo's head popped out from behind the sofa, startling him so much that he trembled.

What are you doing behind the sofa?

"Find the new key that Mom hid."

Qin Yunmo waved the newly made key he had just found in his hand, his eyes fixed on his father.

Don't you want to give an explanation for your despicable actions of locking your daughter in someone else's house and changing the locks at home?

However, Qin Zheng pretended not to know anything and turned his head away, somewhat awkwardly changing the subject—

"Um—Yunmo, would you like to go out for dinner with your dad later?"

"There's no need for that, I can burn it."

"Please, please don't do that!"

Seeing his daughter's eager expression, Qin Zheng shuddered and quickly shook his head in refusal.

I've been working so hard these past few days, I don't want to die from food poisoning before I've had a proper rest!

"I made plans to eat with my colleagues, and I thought it would be good to bring you along so you don't have to cook."

"Are you taking me to meet some boys my age this time?"

Qin Yunmo immediately realized his ulterior motives, and a look of displeasure appeared on her usually cold face.

Today was already frustrating enough, and now I have to go on a blind date.

If things continue like this, instead of meeting them one by one, it would be better to just bring Lin Qiu over and get it all over with!

"Don't get me wrong, I'm taking you to meet my colleague's daughter. He has a very cute daughter. I've seen her picture. She's the same age as Xiao Xuan and Xiao Dan. It's a good opportunity for them to get to know each other and make new friends."

"Daughter."

Upon hearing that it was a little girl, Qin Yunmo's expression softened considerably.

Qin Zheng nodded. The Lin family's youngest daughter was just as adorable as his own two little darlings, and he had heard that she had a gentle personality. It would be a good opportunity for his two little darlings to learn from her!

Of course, besides my youngest daughter, I'll also meet my son! Since I'm already here, it's no trouble!

"I'll take that as your agreement. Pack your things and get ready to go. Oh, by the way, my colleague is also a very good cook. You can take this opportunity to ask him for some tips."

"understood."

Qin Yunmo sighed and finally agreed.

As long as it's not another blind date, there's still room for discussion.

Qin Zheng didn't linger. He hurriedly went back to his room to change into casual clothes, and then, looking refreshed and energetic, strolled back to the living room.

"Hmm? Yunmo, don't you have anything to pack?"

"Just bring the new key; it's not like we're going to someone else's house for the night."

Qin Yunmo casually said something, put both the old and new keys into his pocket, and also took the locksmith's business card before heading towards the entrance.

I refuse to believe you can change the locks and lock me out this time!

Seeing his daughter's little actions, Qin Zheng scratched his face awkwardly, but didn't say anything more, and followed her to change her shoes.

"Where is the address?"

"It's quite close, just a few blocks away."

"Ah."

Qin Yunmo responded softly, but as he went out, his eyelids suddenly started twitching wildly for no reason, as if something bad was about to happen.

Is it my own illusion?

She rubbed her eyes to make sure her eyelids wouldn't twitch anymore, and then felt a little relieved and quietly followed behind her father.

"When we get to someone's house, Yunmo, don't mention that you've practiced martial arts, or anything like being the city's Sanda champion. Don't scare their daughter."

Seemingly a little worried, Qin Zheng quickly offered a reminder.

These facts alone have already scared away countless suitors for my daughter; we absolutely cannot reveal anything more! Even if we have to tell them, we must wait until after everything is settled!

"There's nothing wrong with having practiced martial arts. There are quite a few people in our school who have practiced it."

"But you're the city's Sanda champion..."

We're not even in the same league, honey! Especially with your fighting power—the ability to shatter a wooden stake with a single punch—if time could turn back, your old man would rather die than take you to Mount Taixu!

Just by going on a trip, my life trajectory has completely changed!

Qin Yunmo clicked his tongue but didn't say anything, though he had his own plans in mind.

If it's just meeting someone's daughter, then it's fine, but if it's a disguised form of blind date...

Yun Mo's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but Qin Zheng did not notice this and continued to lead her to the address that Lao Lin had mentioned earlier.

On Xingyun Street, turn right at E-Home Cafe, walk straight past one traffic light, and you'll reach residence number 16 across the street...

Recalling the address Old Lin had given him, Qin Zheng felt a growing sense of anticipation.

Besides letting his daughter see his son, he can also read Lao Lin's other novels, which might inspire his own creative desires. He's still lacking inspiration for a new character.

But as Qin Yunmo walked behind him, his brows gradually furrowed.

Am I just imagining things? This route seems kind of familiar.

Just a little further on is Ziyan's bar. I've probably been there twice, so I have a vague memory of it.

Qin Yunmo tried to explain to himself, suppressing the unease in his heart.

But as soon as her father turned around and deviated from the route to Ying Ziyan's bar, she became somewhat unsettled.

Maybe it's just a coincidence?

However, it seems that the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen. As they got closer and closer to someone's house, the class monitor's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Dad, where's the address?"

Qin Yunmo asked somewhat uneasily.

"We'll be there soon, no need to rush. Just cross the traffic light and it'll be right across the street."

Hearing his father's route, which was exactly the same as he remembered, Qin Yunmo's eyelids twitched violently.

Damn it, we're going to Lin Qiu's house again?!

Looking at his daughter's unpredictable expression, Qin Zheng scratched his face in bewilderment.

What's wrong with her? Does she have some friends there? That's great! They should visit each other more often, and maybe even pay a visit to Old Lin's family. They might become acquainted over time!

As Qin Zheng waited with anticipation, the two drew ever closer to their destination.

As they crossed the traffic light and stood on the opposite side of their so-called destination, Lin Yichuan, who was inside the house, led Lin Qiu and Qian Hui out.

Their eyes met, their expressions stiff, and an eerie atmosphere gradually filled the air...

126 - In-laws' Meeting

An unspoken silence enveloped the dining table, and the atmosphere became quite awkward.

Lin Qiu sat facing Qin Yunmo, his head bowed, unsure of what to say.

On the other hand, Lin Yichuan and Qin Zheng were quite relaxed, leaning back on the sofa, their eyes fixed on their two classmates who were locked in a stalemate, occasionally exchanging words.

"Have they hit it off?"

“They already knew each other. I never expected it. When Qianhe told me that Xiaoxuan and Xiaodan had come to visit us, I felt their names were a bit strange. It turns out it’s such a coincidence.”

"If we don't get married, it'll be hard to end this."

"Shall we find some time to get this done?"

"No rush. Given this ill-fated relationship, there's no escaping it. Let's observe first. The higher-ups are about to release a romantic comedy comic, so we can use it as a reference."

"Okay, I happen to have a similar novel plot here, you can take a look at it too."

Listening to his father and Lin Qiu's father's conversation, Xiao Xuan's eyes narrowed with a smile.

My older sister said she wasn't going to come, but now she's the one being dragged here for a blind date. It's like the tables have turned!

"Uncle Lin, what are we having for dinner?"

At that moment, Xiao Dan's little head popped out from the side and asked expectantly.

It has to be said that after tasting Lin Qiu's cooking, she looked forward even more to Lin Qiu's father, whose cooking skills were even better.

If possible, please settle things as soon as possible, so I can stay here legitimately!

"What does Xiaodan want to eat tonight?"

Lin Yichuan quite liked this little girl who was as cute as Chie, and he patted her head and asked.

"As long as it tastes good, I'm not picky!"

"Okay, I'll cook you some of my specialty dishes later."
