I looked at Qin Youshen in disbelief as I returned to the Qin Family for the first time.
When the elders of the Qin Family saw me, their expressions were indifferent. They did not ask about Sister Mianmian.
When Qin Youshen introduced me, he made sure to emphasize, "This is the Sister of the Shi Family, Shi Talan, who often gives me trouble!"
Sister Mianmian had something to do today and left early!
Just then, Xiao Lan was free, so I called her over to my house for my parents to meet her!
He really was quite straightforward.
I laughed and said to Qin Youshen, "We've grown up together since we were little; how can you say I'm a troublemaker?"
Qin Youshen didn't respond to that, but after putting down his backpack, he invited me over to eat some fruit.
The fruits at his house were all high-end varieties that I usually couldn't get.
I heard my dad say that the Qin Family's business in the capital was very large.
My family wasn't optimistic about my brother and Sister Mianmian's relationship, especially since the adults didn't want to let their children's marriage affect their feelings.
As a result, my parents opposed my brother being with Sister Mianmian.
After all, Sister Mianmian had a childhood betrothal with Qin Youshen.
What surprised me was that Sister Mianmian didn't like the top student Qin Youshen; instead, she had a soft spot for my brother, who wasn't academically inclined.
"Shi Talan, you're causing me trouble all because of your brother, right?" Qin Youshen said, and I could see a glimmer in my indifferent eyes.
"Not entirely correct!" I replied leisurely, looking at him. "I just really enjoy bullying you!"
Qin Youshen pinched my cheek with quite a bit of force. "Little girl, if you keep bothering me, I won't talk to you anymore!"
I readily agreed, but the next day, I continued to trouble him.
Later on, my brother went abroad to study in the same city as Mianmian.
Meanwhile, Qin Youshen was on the other side of the ocean.
The two of them secretly got their marriage certificate behind the family's back.
When Qin Youshen found out about this, he took a flight that lasted all night to find her.
I was there too; Mianmian had no intention of getting entangled with him.
She treated my brother and everyone to a meal, and that was that.
For the next four years, Qin Youshen seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
But when I returned to Haishi, Qin Youshen suddenly showed up at my house and asked my father for my hand in marriage. I married this Rival.
On our wedding day, I hid the dowry my father had given him and waited for him in the bridal chamber.
Qin Youshen has quite a good tolerance for alcohol; I had all my classmates and relatives, over a hundred people, toast him.
When he entered the wedding chamber, it had no effect at all.
"You look a bit different today!" were the first words he spoke.
I looked up at him and smiled, "I'm still the same me!"
"No, you look beautiful!" Qin Youshen said as he sat beside me, quietly holding me.
I sat to the side counting the money gifts.
I was taken aback when he complimented me, then my gaze turned to him. I thought to myself, don't think sweet words can fool me; I know I'm not the most important woman in his life.
Qin Youshen held me and noticed the dowry I was hiding behind my back. He smiled in relief, "Xiao Lan, it's late today; don't count it anymore. We'll continue after meeting my parents tomorrow!"
"Don't! I have to meet many relatives tomorrow!" I wanted all my relatives to meet Qin Youshen; this man is now my husband.
I had liked him for a long time, secretly harboring a crush on him. Since childhood, I knew he was betrothed to Mianmian, so I had always restrained myself from telling him.
Now, he is finally my man.
"Then get some rest early!"
Qin Youshen gently placed a kiss on my forehead.
This was his first kiss with me!
I felt sweet inside, but I hadn't slept well all night.
When I woke up in the morning, Qin Youshen was already gone.
After I finished washing up, I went downstairs, and he was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper.
I walked over, and he looked up at me, asking, "What do you want to eat?"
"A small cake!"
I took a small cake out of the fridge and handed it to him. "You haven't had breakfast yet, right?"
He reached out and touched my hair gently, his voice warm. "You've worked hard these past few days!"
After we got married, Qin Youshen treated me especially well.
He made nutritious breakfasts for me every day.
Sometimes when he was late getting to the office, he would come home and eat with me.
After he found out I was pregnant, he was even more concerned about me going hungry and insisted that I eat more.
Since my pregnancy symptoms were quite severe, I could only eat light foods.
Qin Youshen always makes dishes that cater to my taste.
"Madam, please try this braised fish!"
Qin Youshen placed a piece of fried egg into my bowl.
"Madam, this stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers is also very delicious!"
"Madam, have some more soup!"
...
Qin Youshen has managed to offend all the chefs at home.
I looked at the delicious food on the table and felt truly happy to have such a husband.
However, every time it was almost mealtime, Qin Youshen would always be called away by his boss.
I asked him why.
He said there were urgent matters at the company.
I suggested that we eat together next time he had free time.
He shook his head, "I don't like eating out; you should eat more yourself!"
Although Qin Youshen is a workaholic, he returns home on time every day.
If he worked late or came back early, he would call me.
The next day, just as I got out of bed, the doorbell rang.
I thought it was Qin Youshen returning, so I hurried to get up and open the door.
When I opened the door, I was stunned.
Standing outside was not Qin Youshen, but my sister-in-law, Mu Mianmian.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?" I asked her in confusion.
Mu Mianmian walked in and pushed me against the door.
She leaned close to my ear and said, "Do you want to know why Qin Youshen can't have dinner with you?"
I shivered slightly and asked her fearfully, "Why?"
"Because he came looking for me!"
After Mu Mianmian finished speaking, she burst into laughter.
At that moment, Qin Youshen returned. He stood in front of us with a dark expression on his face.
"You’re back!"
Mu Mianmian deliberately called out sweetly.
I can tell that Mu Mianmian's implication is that I took Qin Youshen away. My brother is currently unstable at work and still owes money, making life really tough for my sister-in-law.
Compared to the wealthy Qin Family, Mianmian chose my brother, which was a choice for love.
But that doesn't mean she can take the opportunity to hurt me.
"Youshen..."
As I was about to explain, Mu Mianmian interrupted me.
"Do you think I want you to become Mrs. Qin?"
Mu Mianmian looked at me coldly, "Do you think marrying him will make you Youshen's wife?"
I shook my head, "That's not it; there's really a misunderstanding between us."
"Misunderstanding?"
Mu Mianmian laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. She reached out and pinched my chin, "I really didn't expect your skin to be thicker than the sole of my shoe!"
"I..." I was pushed to my limits and shouted at Mu Mianmian.
"Sister Mianmian, why are you bullying me?"
When Qin Youshen saw me being bullied, he pushed Mu Mianmian to the ground.
Mu Mianmian got up and pointed at my nose, cursing, "You shameless woman, dare to lay a hand on me?"
My face turned red; she really went too far.
I have never suffered such humiliation from childhood to now.
"You think I don't know? On your wedding day, Youshen didn't even touch you!"
Mu Mianmian laughed triumphantly.
I couldn't believe she would say that.
I loved Qin Youshen so much, yet he hardly held my hand even a few times. I held back my anger and said, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense; I'm just speaking the truth," she lunged at me again but was stopped by Qin Youshen.
Qin Youshen pushed Mu Mianmian to the ground. "Are you done being crazy?"
"I..." Mu Mianmian reluctantly got up, pointing at me and cursing, "You shameless woman, do you want to hit me?"
"I didn't." I hurriedly explained, "Sister Mianmian lunged at me herself."
Qin Youshen stood in front of me and said seriously, "Mianmian, although we had a marriage agreement before, you chose Shi Talan. Regardless of whether things are going well or facing setbacks now, you should stand by him!
Between us, aside from the childhood engagement, there is no other connection. I hope you can respect my wife and me."
Qin Youshen held my hand and then kissed it near his lips. Mu Mianmian's face turned pale as she looked at us with deep sorrow.
He said, "Xiao Lan is my wife; I have always liked her! I was originally bound by a marriage contract, and I didn't know how to face her. For that, I must thank you!
But that doesn't mean you can hurt us because of it!"
Qin Youshen's tone shifted as he looked sternly at Mu Mianmian. "Now please leave. My wife is pregnant and needs to rest!
I will refuse you now and I will refuse you in the future.
There is no possibility between us!"
Mu Mianmian, surprised by Qin Youshen's deep feelings for me, regained her composure and stood up. She picked up her phone and called my brother.
"Darling, you really made me work hard to test that couple!
I want to eat large shrimp; you need to peel them for me!
I want durian, but I can't eat it on the balcony!
I want spring rolls; go buy the wrappers at the market and make them for me!
And later, I need to wash my hair; you have to help me dry it!"
After saying all this, Mu Mianmian gave us a childlike innocent expression, then tossed her big wavy hair and swayed her hips as she left.
Qin Youshen and I exchanged glances, realizing that my sister-in-law's acting skills had truly improved again.
Six months later, I safely gave birth to a son. My sister-in-law and brother brought their three-year-old daughter to visit me.
When Qin Youshen saw my sister-in-law, he instinctively stepped in front of me.
My sister-in-law smiled and said, "I don't care about your son; I'm having my own with Taro."
Just like that, a year later, my sister-in-law Mu Mianmian indeed gave birth to her second son with my brother.
Every day, she would bring her two children to tease me and Qin Youshen.
"Look how well I get along with your brother. Aren't you two holding hands?"
I paused and pushed the stroller a few steps faster.
My sister-in-law continued, "You two are such old-timers; you don't even smile when you meet."
I stopped for a moment, glanced at Qin Youshen standing next to my brother, and called out, "Daddy, the baby is looking for you!"
Qin Youshen squinted his eyes, said goodbye to my brother, walked over to me, took my hand with one hand while pushing the stroller with the other.
I proudly glanced at my sister-in-law, boldly embracing my love.
