Chapter 370: Lin Xinyu and Liu Yi

“Daddy Mommy, it’s so lively outside!”

Inside the car, Qin Yiyi stuck to the car window, her bright eyes wide open, curiously watching the scene outside.

She could faintly hear the firecrackers and flute sounds outside, carrying a unique New Year flavor, as if it had drilled right into Qin Yiyi’s nose.

“This is Nianli, a custom from the place where Mom was born.”

Qin Nanfeng was slowly driving, following the car ahead.

Hearing this, he looked up and saw his daughter pressing hard against the car window and peering outside from the Mirror.

He smiled and said.

“Mm…” Lin Xinyuan merely looked tenderly at Qin Yiyi, showing no resistance to her husband’s words.

Although there were indeed many bad memories here, she could not deny that this was the place where she was born, carrying the memories of her first eighteen years.

She could not deny it, nor did she want to deny it.

After all, so many years had passed, and she had almost forgotten it all…

But just as she was thinking, and Lin Xinyuan was about to say something, a ringtone came from the Shouji, instantly breaking her train of thought.

She picked up the Shouji and glanced at it, only to find that it was Liu Yi calling. A trace of something unusual rose in her eyes.

It was quite a coincidence. The White Moonlight from when she had still been a boy had actually become her… sister-in-law…

This was probably from more than a year ago.

When she learned that Lin Xinyu was getting married, she was both surprised and happy for Lin Cousin.

So, without a second thought, she accepted the invitation to the wedding.

But when she went to the wedding, she discovered that her sister-in-law was actually Liu Yi?

Later, she learned from the other party that the two had met while working in Shanghai.

Not long after they met, the two gradually began to develop feelings for each other, and after being surprised to discover they were from the same hometown, their relationship grew closer and closer.

After that, the two unexpectedly ran into each other at Lin Xinyuan’s wedding, and only then did they formally establish their relationship.

It had to be said… it was truly wonderful beyond words…

“Who’s calling?”

Her mind was full of random thoughts, and only when she heard Qin Nanfeng’s question did Lin Xinyuan finally come back to her senses: “It’s Sister-in-law…”

As she spoke, she put the Shouji to her ear and answered the Phone: “Hello, Yi… Sister Yi…”

“Xiaoyuan, why are you so slow to answer the Phone?” Liu Yi’s tone carried a slight complaint, but she did not dwell on it. “Are you there yet?”

Hearing this, Lin Xinyuan could not help but feel a little awkward.

She glanced out the window: “Almost. There’s a traffic jam right now. It might take another five or six minutes.”

“Oh, that’s fine then!” Liu Yi, understanding the situation, spoke with a local accent. “See you later then!”

“See you later…”

With that, she hung up the Phone, and a little while passed.

During that time, Qin Yiyi kept asking Lin Xinyuan to accompany her, watching the You Shen procession outside that had started early in the morning.

Soon, the car completely left the congested road section and turned into that familiar fork.

Not long after, they arrived.

They parked the car in the open space in front of the Villa, and the family got out of the car.

Even after so many years, the large tree in the center of the open space still seemed unchanged, still lush with branches and leaves.

Only occasionally did a cold wind blow by, bringing down green leaves that swayed and drifted to the ground.

It should have been a bleak atmosphere, but it was completely covered by the lively bustle of people coming and going, and the smell of fireworks lingering at the tip of the nose.

What replaced it was the New Year flavor!

“Big Sister Yi Yi!”

As soon as she got out of the car, little Qin Yiyi, as if she had an automatic targeting system, spotted Liu Yi at a glance – young, beautiful, and fashionably dressed, not far away.

She directly let go of her mother’s hand and ran over, skipping and bouncing.

“Hey, Xiao Yiyi is here!”

Seeing Qin Yiyi, a beautiful smile immediately appeared on Liu Yi’s face.

She smiled and squatted down, hugged Qin Yiyi in her arms, and rubbed her chubby little face again and again.

Her eyes grew brighter and brighter. “Xiao Yiyi has gotten cuter again!”

This made Qin Yiyi let out a cute “wuwuwu” cry, her two short little hands waving wildly.

“Let go… wuwu…” Qin Yiyi, having her tender little face rubbed by that claw, could not even speak clearly, and felt somewhat dissatisfied.

But before she could say anything else, Liu Yi let go and pulled out a handful of fruit gummies from her pocket, instantly attracting Qin Yiyi’s gaze.

Qin Yiyi reached out with both little hands to take them, her black-and-white eyes full of delight: “Yi Yi thanks Big Sister Yi Yi!”

As she spoke, Qin Yiyi put all the candies into her Coat pocket, then kept one, and immediately began tearing open the wrapper.

As the sweet-and-sour gummy entered Qin Yiyi’s mouth, her little face smiled as brightly as a sunflower.

After that, even when Liu Yi rubbed her little face again, she was not angry anymore.

She just enjoyed her candy on her own. If she had a tail, Qin Yiyi would definitely have wagged it quickly, meowing “meow meow.”

The couple, who had just walked over carrying fruit and drinks, saw this scene.

Qin Nanfeng wanted to laugh, while Lin Xinyuan was rather helpless.

But at the same time, when she heard how her daughter addressed Liu Yi, she also found it amusing.

This girl… was coaxed away by just a few candies…

Seeing them walk over, Liu Yi finally stopped rubbing Qin Yiyi.

She stood up, went over, and took the things Lin Xinyuan was carrying.

Her face still smiled: “Xiaoyuan, Brother-in-law! Long time no see!”

“Sister-in-law, long time no see.”

“Sister Yi.”

After a simple exchange of greetings, Liu Yi familiarly led the family into the house first.

At the entrance, they inevitably ran into Lin Cousin Lin Xinyu and Aunt Yi, who were waiting for Gong Zu, as well as a few relatives they were fairly familiar with.

As soon as they saw Qin Yiyi, the relatives praised her, pinched her little face, and casually gave Qin Yiyi a Red Envelope.

Anyway, the more they looked at the well-behaved little Qin Yiyi, the more they liked her.

Even Uncle Yao’s daughter-in-law, who was holding a child that had started crying again, could not help complaining to her a few times.

“Children are really hard to raise… Your Xiao Yiyi is so good! She didn’t cry or fuss when she was little, and now she’s so smart…”

Hearing this, Lin Xinyuan merely smiled, but inside she could not help feeling proud.

Her Xiao Yiyi was of course smart and well-behaved. She had hardly ever made her worry…

When they arrived at Lin Cousin’s house, they naturally had to go see Da Yeye first.

After all, elders should be respected, especially a kind elder like Da Yeye, who had always been very good to her.

Lin Xinyuan did not dare be negligent.

After putting the fruit and drinks on the first floor, Liu Yi followed their family upstairs.

Glancing at Qin Nanfeng, who was holding Qin Yiyi and walking in front, she could not help complaining to Lin Xinyuan beside her: “If you hadn’t come, I really would have felt a bit awkward!”

As an only daughter, Liu Yi’s home was in the City, and she had relatively few relatives, so she was naturally not used to such a big scene with so many relatives.

Especially since those elders liked to ask all sorts of questions, which made her feel even more uncomfortable!

Lin Xinyu was busy again, so she had wanted Lin Xinyuan to come quickly and keep her company, so she would not be so awkward.

That was why she had called so urgently not long ago…

Lin Xinyuan was surprised. She had not expected that Vice Monitor Liu, who she remembered as having strong social skills, could not withstand the elders’ “tightening headband spell” either?

So she could not help but let out a “pfft” laugh.

Instead, it earned her a glare from Liu Yi: “What are you laughing at? I don’t believe you weren’t like this before. You were probably even more embarrassed than me!”

“Cough… Sister Yi, not at all…”

But though she said that, Lin Xinyuan knew very well that just thinking of that kind of scene made her scalp tingle. She was indeed even worse than Liu Yi.

It had to be said, nagging relatives and elders were really terrifying…
