After finishing the work in the store, Qiao Yue and Li Qian went out together and went to their uncle's house.

Li Qian was responsible for driving. After arriving, the two of them parked the car at the entrance of the alley and walked in with the fruits they bought.

Some neighbors passing by saw them and greeted them warmly.

Qiao Yue whispered, "It seems that the popularity of both of us has increased a lot."

Li Qian: "Of course, after my mother spread the word, our current personalities are that of a female entrepreneur who married into a wealthy family and has her own business. We are winners in life and are positive examples for the kids around here."

Qiao Yue: ".....Really, thank you mom."

As soon as they walked into the yard, Qiao Yue saw her grandfather waiting at the door. He was very happy, "Yueyue is here."

Qiao Yue greeted her grandfather with a smile, "Who's cooking today? I can smell the delicious food."

Grandpa said, "Your uncle is the chef. You are all busy now. It's rare that you and your sister are here today. Let's have a good meal together. Xiaoqian, come along."

Li Qian smiled and said, "Grandpa, I don't need it. I'll go home and eat later."

Grandpa: "Okay, it's up to you."

Qiao Yue and Li Qian brought the things into the house and saw their aunt playing with their cousin's son in the living room.

Qiao Yue asked, "Aunt, where is my cousin?"

My aunt replied, "She's upstairs. She washed the quilt and is drying it on the roof."

Qiao Yue: "Okay, let's go find her in the morning."

Li Qian supported Qiao Yue, and they went up to the rooftop to find their cousin.

As soon as they came out of the rooftop, they saw their cousin.

My cousin was sitting alone on a rattan chair, with a few floral sheets drying next to her, gently blown by the wind.

Qiao Yue walked over with a smile: "So you're lazing around here."

My cousin looked back and asked, "Why are you two here?"

She quickly pulled over two chairs and asked Qiao Yue and the others to sit down.

Li Qian sat down and said, "Let's come back for dinner."

Cousin: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? I wasn't prepared."

Li Qian: "I just didn't tell you in advance, but everyone in my family knows about it."

Cousin: "Okay."

Qiao Yue sat there, feeling the wind blowing by her side, feeling very comfortable. "You know what, it's not hot today, and there's wind, so it's quite cool to stay here."

Li Qian said to her cousin, "You really know how to enjoy yourself. You took a week off for the annual leave, and you just come here to enjoy the breeze?"

My cousin was vague and said, "I just feel tired and want to take a rest."

She asked again, "Is there something going on in the store? I can go right back."

Li Qian looked at her and smiled, "Everything is fine in the store, but you, why do you seem to have something on your mind?"

My cousin denied it: "No, you are seeing things."

Li Qian smiled and said nothing.

Qiao Yue looked at her cousin and suddenly said, "I haven't been here for a long time. Remember when we were little, we loved staying here, chatting, and playing games."

Li Qian looked around and said, "Remember, we were the first to discover this place, and your cousin insisted on playing with us."

My cousin laughed, "You two are so shameless. You often play together without me."

Li Qian: "At that time, we all thought you were silly and didn't want to play with you, okay?"

Qiao Yue smiled and added, "She's still a princess."

My cousin didn't care and said, "You are telling the truth. I have never been smart since I was a child. I am not as smart as you are."

Qiao Yue said: "But you have a kind heart."

My cousin looked at her and said, "Why do I feel like you are scolding me?"

Li Qian replied, "Hey, you've become smarter."

Hearing this, the three of them laughed out loud at the same time.

Li Qian: "You are a bit silly, but you are also really kind. If you were not kind-hearted, we would have ignored you a long time ago. Many people bully you because you are kind, and many people like you because you are kind. It's a double-edged sword."

My cousin smiled self-deprecatingly, "A lot of people, who are they?"

Li Qian took the opportunity to answer, "Chen Mingyu, I think he likes you very much."

My cousin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two of them and said, "I knew you two wouldn't come here for no reason..."

Qiao Yue smiled and said, "I'll go home for dinner and come to check on you."

Li Qian also said: "You are so ambitious now, but you suddenly took a week off. We must think it's strange. Tell me, what happened between you and Chen Mingyu?"

My cousin looked at the two of them, thinking that they had specially come to care about her, and she felt embarrassed to stop talking: "Nothing, I just feel that... our relationship is a little out of control, so I want to calm myself down."

Li Qian: "I guessed it right. You really are hiding from me."

Qiao Yue looked at her cousin and asked, "How can you control your feelings? Why are you hiding? Don't you like him?"

My cousin looked distressed. "I don't know. He's actually quite nice. He's very polite. He cares about me and respects me. He's also a very loyal person..."

Qiao Yue interrupted her: "You've listed so many advantages, and you still say you don't know whether you like me or not?"

cousin:"......"

Li Qian spoke slowly, "This Chen Mingyu is really a good person. After his ex-wife passed away, he didn't remarry for several years. I heard that he also gave a lot of money to his ex-father-in-law and mother-in-law for their retirement. This person is really a good person."

"It doesn't mean that you have to like him just because he has a good character, but it seems like you two are interested in each other. So why are you avoiding him? When he heard that you weren't here today, he seemed quite worried."

My cousin raised her eyes and looked into the distance: "I don't know how to say it. I'm very confused and scared at the same time."

"Wang Yifei and I met through a blind date. I didn't know whether I liked him or not. Then I listened to my mother and married him to become a young lady."

"At that time, I actually thought, if I don't like him, can I marry him? But I convinced myself that at least if I marry him, I won't have to worry about food and clothing."

"You all know what happened later. I suffered a lot in that marriage. I saw the worst of people and almost lost my life. Fortunately, you helped me and I survived."

"Through last year's hard work and the opportunities you gave me, I finally managed to crawl out of the quagmire. I originally thought that I would just work hard, make money, and raise my son. I will never believe in men or marriage again in my life."

"But after Chen Mingyu confessed his love to me, I was indeed shaken. I admit that I like him, but my timidity and fear are greater than my love for him."

"So, I chose to escape and hide."
