Chapter 409: Chapter 411 What does it mean
"Ah?"
Wang Dawei hadn’t expected things to be this way and was momentarily stunned.
"Ah what? You can’t even see something so obvious; I think you’re just a pigheaded fool."
Li Xiaomei gave him a fierce roll of her eyes.
"Hehe..."
Wang Dawei didn’t take his wife’s words to heart. Over the years, he had gotten used to it. She handled all the big and small matters at home, and almost every time something happened, she would scold him like this. He chuckled, "That’s because I have you, the clever one."
Upon hearing her husband repeat this phrase, Li Xiaomei’s face showed both embarrassment and helplessness. Looking at her husband, who was wearing a goofy smile, she wanted to scold him but didn’t know what to say.
"Right, what exactly is going on with them? Just now, I noticed Qingqing seemed a bit off?"
Although Wang Dawei was a bit slow to react, he wasn’t dumb. Right after hearing his wife’s explanation, he immediately remembered something serious.
Like Li Xiaomei, he also viewed Wang Qingqing as his own daughter. He had always felt guilty towards his elder brother, and, in his heart, he even cared more for this niece than for his own son, Wang Xiaohu.
"Oh... isn’t that so? Just think about Xiao Yi. How did he suddenly become a rich young master? Otherwise, he and our Qing would be such a good match!"
Li Xiaomei glanced in the direction of the kitchen and let out a deep sigh. On her way here, she had sensed something was wrong with Wang Qingqing’s emotions, but she hadn’t found a moment to comfort her, nor did she know how.
"What do you mean? Does Xiao Yi despise Qingqing?"
Wang Dawei’s expression suddenly turned grim, "Although our Qing comes from a humble background, aside from that, in what way is she not good enough for Xiao Yi?"
In his heart, he had already considered Xiao Yi as Wang Qingqing’s likely boyfriend. He was very fond of him and had even told his elder brother back home about Xiao Yi, praising him a lot. Hearing his wife’s words, he suddenly became agitated and raised his voice.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Xiaomei hadn’t expected Wang Dawei to react so strongly, and she immediately became anxious, stood up, covered his mouth with her hand, pushed him down, and gave her husband a fierce look, "What are you getting neurotic about? When did I ever say that Xiao Yi despised Qingqing?"
"Then what does it mean?"
Wang Dawei looked at Li Xiaomei, puzzled.
"Previously, Xiao Yi was unassuming, easy-going, and casual, just like us. Qingqing always thought he was just an ordinary boy and didn’t consider his background. She fell for him without a second thought. Now all of a sudden, Xiao Yi’s status has changed. Maybe she’s having trouble adjusting and accepting it all at once."
Li Xiaomei glanced in the direction of the kitchen and sighed.
"So what does Xiao Yi mean by this?"
Wang Dawei was silent for a moment before speaking in a muffled tone.
"I don’t know; who am I supposed to ask? How would I know what’s in his heart? But from his behavior just now, he seems to really care about Qing, and it doesn’t seem to be an act."
Li Xiaomei gave him a look, then her eyes revealed a contemplative expression as she analyzed, "Plus, if he weren’t interested in Qing, would he be so good to us? Think about it, since we’ve known Little Xiao until now, how much he’s cared for us. When Xiaohu had that incident at the hospital, his expression was just like it was his own family in trouble, not only did he make calls but he also went to help personally, so tired that he looked like this. I think Xiao Yi actually has real feelings for Qingqing."
Having said that, when she saw her husband was about to say something, she directly interrupted him, "Let it go, we shouldn’t worry too much. Let the young people handle their own affairs, we can only offer a bit of advice from the side."
"Hmm."
Wang Dawei nodded, looking toward the kitchen direction, his eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of faint worry.
.........
"Senpai, I’m sorry."
Entering the kitchen, Xiao Yi looked at Wang Qingqing, who was keeping her head down beside the sink.
Wang Qingqing just lowered her head, tightly pursing her lips, gently opened the vegetables Li Xiaomei had bought, and put them in the sink, slowly arranging them, but her obviously disordered hands indicated that her mind wasn’t really on the vegetables.
"I... I didn’t do it on purpose, just that in the beginning, you misunderstood me, and then... I never really had a chance to explain. In fact, there isn’t much to explain, I’m really just an ordinary person. Senpai, from now on, you can just treat me as a regular person."
Seeing that Wang Qingqing ignored him and seemed very upset, he became increasingly flustered, his expression growing tense.
A regular person?
Can a regular person casually pull out a billion with a flick of the wrist?
Can a regular person just casually call Chen Jianguo over?
Did he think she was a fool?
A hint of hurt appeared at the corners of Wang Qingqing’s mouth, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Yi.
"Really, Senpai, I’m just an ordinary orphan, raised by my grandfather. Uncle Chen is Uncle Chen, I am me. He treats me well because my grandfather had once saved him, so he has always regarded me as someone who did him a favor," Xiao Yi said earnestly.
Looking into Wang Qingqing’s deep eyes, Xiao Yi’s heart involuntarily wavered, but after a moment of hesitation, he clenched his teeth, raised his head, his eyes full of sincerity.
Apart from his other identity, he had not lied. In his heart, he was just an ordinary orphan. Chen Jianguo’s status and position were his own, and had basically nothing to do with him. As for that identity, it was something he never wanted Wang Qingqing to learn about, something he believed there was absolutely no need for her to ever find out.
It wasn’t that he deliberately wanted to keep anything from her, but because he was afraid.
It was a persona even he didn’t quite like, one filled with darkness and blood. He hoped she would never discover it, for if she did, he didn’t know what would happen.
"What you said... is it true?"
Wang Qingqing looked at Xiao Yi, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
"I assure you, it’s absolutely true. Or rather, if there is anything different about me, it’s that my financial situation is actually a bit better than what you previously thought. My grandfather practiced medicine for many years and accumulated some savings," Xiao Yi said, nodding vigorously, but then remembering something, he looked nervously at Wang Qingqing again.
