Chapter 815: Chapter 784: A Great Contrast in Personality, That Silhouette Looks Very Familiar?

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhengmin couldn’t help but laugh.

"You’re right," Qi Zhengmin laughed, "When Grandmother was in Nan City, she often talked about my brother. My dad... Mom also said that as long as the person comes from a decent family, has good character, is in good health, and loves my brother and shares common interests, that’s all that matters. There are no other requirements."

"Yeah, your family is already wealthy and powerful, so there’s no need for a marriage alliance for benefits. This way, Big Brother Qi has the chance to find his true love," He Tiantian said with a smile, feeling inexplicably happy inside.

"Alas, I hope so," Qi Zhengmin said, glancing at He Tiantian through the rearview mirror.

Brother really likes Sister Tiantian, but Sister Tiantian has fallen for someone else.

The flower yearns, but the flowing water cares not!

If Big Brother could find true love, that would be wonderful.

Brother’s feelings are not something she can interfere with. She should just silently wish Brother well.

When they arrived at the zoo, He Tiantian watched the children, while Qi Zhengmin went to buy the tickets.

"Mom, did you bring the camera?" Huo Ruihua asked.

"I did. Tell Mom, Ruihua, which animal would you like to take a photo with?" He Tiantian asked softly, crouching down.

"I want to take a picture with a deer," Huo Ruihua said quietly. "Is that okay?"

"Of course," He Tiantian smiled and nodded, "I’ll take several extra pictures of you."

"Mom, Mom, I want a photo with a tiger, and with leopards, bears..." Huo Ruimin said excitedly, her voice a bit loud and her expression exaggerated, gesticulating non-stop with her hands.

He Tiantian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Her son was as gentle as a little girl, while her daughter was like an energetic and active boy.

Isn’t it said that twins usually have similar temperaments?

Isn’t this difference a bit too much?

"Mom, aren’t you going to take my picture?" Huo Ruimin asked, noticing her mother hadn’t responded, and pressed for an answer.

This was a legitimate request from the children, and He Tiantian couldn’t refuse. She could only nod and say, "Okay, Mom will take it for you."

Qi Zhengmin had already purchased the tickets and came over, leading one child each towards the zoo.

The autumn sky was clear and the weather was just right, with a comfortable temperature.

It was the perfect season for an outing.

Inside, He Tiantian looked after taking pictures of the children and also had Qi Zhengmin take photos of the three of them. They took extra ones, which would be great to send to family members abroad and to Huo Yingjie, who was working hard at the office.

Today was a weekend, and there were many visitors.

The two children were very excited, but they were small and their legs grew tired quickly after walking a little while, so He Tiantian and Qi Zhengmin had to carry them.

"We saw lions, tigers, bears, and deer today. How about we go over there to rest, drink some water, and have something to eat? Would that be okay?" He Tiantian asked, feeling a bit tired herself from carrying the children for half an hour.

It was somewhat better for her since she was stronger, but Qi Zhengmin was already sweating profusely.

"Yeah!" Huo Ruimin said, "Mom, I want to eat chocolate."

"I want red bean rolls!" Huo Ruihua said.

"Okay, Mom brought it," He Tiantian laughed, patting the large bag on her back.

Reaching the rest area, they found a bench to sit on and then she took out many things from the bag.

First, she dampened a dry towel with some water to wipe the children’s hands, and only then did she hand them something to eat and poured them water to drink.

"Zhengmin, do you want some?" He Tiantian asked, passing a red bean roll to Qi Zhengmin.

Qi Zhengmin wiped her hands and took it, saying, "I definitely need to eat something to replenish my energy, holding kids is more tiring than my morning run."

"Hehe, hard work indeed," He Tiantian laughed. "Once you have your own kids, you’ll get used to it."

"Ah, kids?" Qi Zhengmin looked pitiful. "When will my lover ever show up!"

Hearing this, He Tiantian became curious and asked, "Zhengmin, have you ever liked anyone?"

"Like?" Qi Zhengmin’s voice was a bit high, "A boy?"

"Huh?" He Tiantian was startled. "You... you like girls?"

Qi Zhengmin grinned mischievously, crooked a finger, and said, "Yeah, girls are fragrant and soft, much better than stinky men..."

"Yikes!" He Tiantian paused, pondered for a moment, "Zhengmin, I, you know, don’t discriminate against non-conventional love, but I’m already married and, besides, I like men..."

"Ha ha!" Qi Zhengmin laughed upon seeing how seriously He Tiantian took her words, "Just kidding, I also like boys, but he doesn’t like me. After graduating from college, I returned to China."

It then dawned on He Tiantian that Qi Zhengmin was just teasing her.

"That boy?" He Tiantian asked. "Where is he from?"

"He’s French, with eyes the color of dark green, as if they could see right through people’s hearts," said Qi Zhengmin. "Like the blue Danube, I really liked him."

"Why didn’t he like you?" He Tiantian was curious. In her heart, Qi Zhengmin was a very beautiful Eastern woman, kind and intelligent.

Qi Zhengmin chuckled and said, "Well, how should I put it? He did like me a bit, but he also liked other women. In my heart, I can only accept a monogamous love, which he couldn’t give me, so I left."

"Oh, it’s good that you feel that way," He Tiantian said. "If you can’t accept it, then don’t. It’s much better than forcing it and ending up hurting each other, then having to let go eventually."

"Yeah, that’s what I think," Qi Zhengmin said. "It’s not that I didn’t want to fight for it, but when I saw that the way he looked at me was the same way he did at other women, as if it was a conquest, not cherishing or treasuring, I knew such a person was never going to be the one I would marry. I was very upset back then, traveled alone, saw the vastness of the world, and realized how insignificant I was, so I let it go."

"Hehe, our little Zhengmin has grown up; I won’t have to worry about you in the future," He Tiantian laughed. "Believe in Sister Tiantian, you’re so great that you’ll definitely find the right love for you."

"I know, I’ve always believed in that," Qi Zhengmin said. "That was the first time I truly fell for someone after having a crush on a senior in junior high. Though it’s unforgettable, I can let it go."

"Don’t worry, when fate comes, you can’t even block it," He Tiantian laughed. "Stay true to your heart, and you’ll eventually find the love that’s right for you!"

"I’ll take Sister Tiantian’s auspicious words," Qi Zhengmin laughed, firm in that belief.

Her parents’ enduring love, her grandmother’s strong wait, Sister Tiantian’s dedication to love—they were all her role models.

Just then, Qi Zhengmin looked past He Tiantian toward the distance. Because it was quite far and they were facing the sunlight, she could only squint, trying to see clearly.

"Sister Tiantian, take a look, is that my brother?" Qi Zhengmin asked. "The one in the blue coat, right, and there’s a woman beside him, pointing at the animals in the courtyard for my brother to see!"

He Tiantian turned her head and saw the two people Qi Zhengmin was talking about.

Her eyesight was much better than Qi Zhengmin’s, like a radar, she immediately recognized that it was Qi Zhenghan and clearly saw the girl’s profile.
