CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 123: UNCLE OR ELDER?

Qin Xiao looked at the message, somewhat surprised that she wasn’t home, because he hadn’t received any notification of her using the car.

He edited a message and sent it: [Where are you?]

Xiao Li received the message, raised her phone to take a photo of the school gate, and sent it to Qin Xiao...

Once Qin Xiao saw the picture, he knew she was at the school gate. He immediately quickened his pace to the parking lot, took the car, and drove to the school gate...

At the school gate, Xiao Li took a selfie, capturing the entire gate as the background, and posted the photo to her Moments.

Caption: [What’s it like waiting for your husband to get off work?

It’s my first time waiting too, feeling awesome!]

As soon as Xiao Li posted on her Moments, Qin Xiao replied almost instantly, and his comment was just two words: [Wait for me!]

There were other comments following, Xiao Li read them one by one, including those from Feng Qing and the others. As usual, they teased her, but this time they also begrudgingly complained, saying she had forgotten her friends and hadn’t hung out with them for a long time.

Xiao Li thought about it, and realized she hadn’t gone out with them since last time they hung out, even though they all worked at the same hospital.

Hmm... It’s time to placate those girls.

While reading the comments, Xiao Li stood there waiting for Qin Xiao, when suddenly a flashy red sports car stopped in front of her, "Hi there... beauty, are you free? Would I be honored to buy you a cup of tea?"

Xiao Li shook her head. "Sorry, my man said I shouldn’t casually have tea with other men."

Zhou Junren inside the sports car, thinking she was referring to an elder as "my man," smugly whistled, "Beauty, elders at home all say that same old thing, we’ve got to learn how to let it go in one ear and out the other..."

Having said that, he even opened the door to the passenger seat, making his intentions obvious.

However, the door was just opened when a hand pushed it shut, and then Qin Xiao’s face appeared at the window of the passenger seat. "Who are you trying to let on the car?"

Zhou Junren, seeing Qin Xiao’s face, was so scared that he immediately jumped out of the car. Once out, he ran to Qin Xiao, "Senior!"

Xiao Li wrapped her arm around Qin Xiao’s and timely spoke, "Honey, he just told me to let what you said go in one ear and out the other...

He even said you were my elder!"

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Junren, "I finally know why you never graduated on time. Apparently, you’ve been disregarding your teacher’s words.

I’ll relay your original words to your teacher later."

Zhou Junren is Professor Zhou’s youngest son. Professor Zhou has three sons and one daughter, but the most troublesome one is Zhou Junren, the youngest son.

Zhou Junren hurriedly explained: "Senior, this is a misunderstanding! I didn’t know she was part of your family.

Senior, you have such a high-quality member in your family, yet you never introduced her to me. I just came back to the country and don’t know any young ladies...

You can’t just get married and have a family and forget about your junior. I also need..."

At this point, Zhou Junren suddenly froze, because he suddenly found Xiao Li a bit familiar...

Qin Xiao, too lazy to look at Zhou Junren any longer, directly pulled Xiao Li and walked to his car. After Xiao Li was seated in the passenger seat, he got in as well and drove away.

Zhou Junren watched the tail of Qin Xiao’s car, his heart in chaos because he remembered who Xiao Li was...

Isn’t she sister-in-law!

Oh heavens! Oh earth!

I’m really asking for it!

He regretted not being in the country when Qin Xiao got married as it was a critical time for his graduation, he didn’t come back and never met Xiao Li in person.

Although he saw the wedding photo of Qin Xiao and Xiao Li, forgive him for not paying real attention to Xiao Li back then, just knowing it was a woman.

Ah...

Why didn’t I look closely at the time?

I should have had a good look and remembered it clearly!

I wouldn’t be in this miserable situation now!

In the car, Xiao Li saw Zhou Junren still standing there foolishly through the rearview mirror, and asked with a laugh, "Honey, who was that? He seems quite afraid of you."

Qin Xiao said while watching the road, "The teacher’s youngest son, named Zhou Junren.

When he was in high school, he was quite naughty, the teacher couldn’t control him, so I took him for a summer, and after that, he behaved."

Xiao Li chuckled at this, "That summer must have been hard for him."

Qin Xiao smiled silently. If it fell into his hands, it generally wouldn’t be easy...

"You had a night shift yesterday, why not sleep in a bit more today, waking up at this time?" Qin Xiao asked.

Xiao Li smiled, "I just woke up! When I woke up and saw you weren’t there, I didn’t feel like sleeping anymore.

Then I thought about picking you up, so I happily came over."

Qin Xiao reached out and patted Xiao Li’s head, "Why didn’t you use the family car?"

Xiao Li blinked, "If I used the family car, you would know.

How could there be a surprise then?

But I didn’t take a cab either, I knew to pay attention to safety.

I went to my parents’, and mom had a car sent for me."

Qin Xiao nodded, "Smart move."

Xiao Li sighed, "Even being smart is useless, I originally thought about going directly into campus to find you for a bigger surprise, but only found out at the school gate I couldn’t enter."

Qin Xiao chuckled, "The medical university over there is strict, you can’t just come in freely.

Even if you got in, are you sure you could find me?"

Xiao Li raised an eyebrow, "True, even if I get in, I might not find you, maybe in the end you’d have to find me.

Thinking about it this way, waiting at the school gate is more appropriate."

Qin Xiao nodded in agreement.

The car kept driving, Xiao Li initially thought Qin Xiao would just drive home like this, but the car wasn’t heading in the direction of home, so Xiao Li noticed and asked, "Not going home?"

Qin Xiao chuckled, "Rare for you to pick me up, I received such a big surprise, of course, I have to return the favor!

We’re not going back tonight."

Xiao Li blinked, not going back tonight?

Does that mean not going home for dinner, or not going home at all tonight?

Soon, Xiao Li knew the answer.

It turns out they’re not going home tonight at all.

Because the car drove for about two hours without reaching their destination, during which Xiao Li even took a nap.

When they left the school, it was only about four in the afternoon, and by the time they reached their destination, the sky was completely dark, it was already half-past six.

Groggily, Xiao Li followed Qin Xiao out of the car, feeling a bit chilly as soon as she got out. Then a suit jacket was draped over her shoulders...

Xiao Li turned her head, "Honey, aren’t you cold wearing just a shirt?"

Qin Xiao chuckled, "Not cold."

Xiao Li puckered her lips, yeah right! Not cold!

It’s almost Mid-Autumn, and the weather is starting to cool. She just glanced around, they seemed to be on a mountaintop, the temperature was lower than below.

She felt cold getting out of the car, and she was wearing autumn clothes today, how could honey not be cold with just a single shirt?

However, when a man wants to show off, you just have to play along!
