As Qin Yan spoke so earnestly, everyone quickly began to tease and laugh.
Qin Rong and Qin Zhao also asked in surprise, “Is that true?”
Qin Yan nodded, “I only remembered it recently when I saw Xiao Xi and Wei Wei playing. It’s really funny when you think about it. Hahaha.”
“Wait, how can you be sure it was Second Sister-in-law?” Qin Zhao asked curiously.
Qin Yan replied, “Because afterward, I asked Mom if she remembered this funny incident, and she casually said, ‘Of course I remember! It was the promise with Fei Fei. Didn’t they meet a year before that? Among the kids on vacation, there were only two. Fei Fei was too young to remember, but what about A Xian? Does he remember?'”
Qin Xian’s expression froze as a memory suddenly flashed through his mind.
A little girl had woven two rings from flowers in the garden, placing one on his finger and one on hers. She giggled and said to him, “I’ve already kissed Second Brother Qin, and now with this, we’re married. The most handsome Second Brother Qin is my husband! From now on, we’ll be together forever.”
Back then, Qin Xian couldn’t speak yet and just stared at the ring.
Then the little girl ran off, laughing, but when she returned later, the ring on her finger was already gone, scattered somewhere.
Qin Xian was disappointed, and eventually, his own fragile ring broke too.
Coming back to the present, Qin Xian saw Ji Fei looking at him, her expression slightly uneasy.
[Awkward, that was from childhood… Sigh, could she really have been his first love?]
However, in the ears of the Qin family’s second branch, there was no censored part of the story.
After all, even if mind-reading existed, soul-swapping would naturally be censored.
But Qin Xian seemed to understand something from Ji Fei’s gaze.
He had a strong premonition that the little girl from his fragmented memories was indeed the Ji Fei standing before him.
And the woman who had schemed against him, the one he had instinctively avoided, was not the real Ji Fei.
If something as bizarre as a melon-eating system and mind-reading existed, then other strange things were possible too.
He remembered clearly that when he heard about Ji Fei’s family being in a car accident, he rushed to the hospital to see her. At that time, he couldn’t help but want to be close to her and protect her. But when Ji Fei woke up the second time, that feeling had disappeared.
If such magical things really existed in the world, he believed he could distinguish the differences between the two.
But it seemed Ji Fei didn’t remember the past? Or was there another issue? Qin Xian didn’t dwell on it too much, given his own fragmented memories.
However, he understood why Ji Fei was uneasy now—his wife was jealous, worried that he had been thinking about another Ji Fei from his childhood.
He leaned down, pressing his forehead against hers, and said tenderly, “Only Fei Fei. The one I love is only Fei Fei.”
Nothing more needed to be said; that sentiment was enough.
Qin Xian rarely made such straightforward declarations in front of others, and even the usually thick-skinned Ji Fei couldn’t handle it, her face instantly turning red.
The room erupted in cheers.
Only Yu Lu stood out, almost losing her temper. Why did every attempt to stir trouble end up with them flaunting their love?
Yu Lu wasn’t ready to give up. Amid the laughter, she stepped on another landmine. “So you two have known each other for so long! That’s strange. Even though you’re married, why haven’t you had a wedding yet? Otherwise, we could’ve met earlier.”
Although Yu Lu didn’t interact much with the younger generation of the Qin family, if any of them were getting married, they would at least send an invitation. Whether they attended or not, they would prepare gifts. So Yu Lu was certain these two hadn’t had a wedding, but since they were already married, they must have registered. This made the situation quite delicate.
Everyone immediately stopped laughing, thinking how Yu Lu always knew how to bring up the most uncomfortable topics.
Not just the second branch of the Qin family, but everyone could sense Qin Xian’s displeasure at that moment.
They didn’t mention the messy reasons from before.
This time, there was a legitimate excuse.
“I heard Grandfather asked them to postpone it,” Qin Wenqiang said.
“Why? Did Grandfather have some issue with Second Sister-in-law?” Yu Lu immediately asked with a smile, her gloating expression all too obvious.
“It’s because he’s too satisfied, so he didn’t want them to hold it now,” Qin Yi quickly interjected. “In recent years, the Qin family’s romantic luck hasn’t been great. You’ll hear about it soon—several couples have broken up or divorced recently. Grandfather was worried it would clash, so he asked them to delay it.”
The others nodded in agreement, acknowledging the bad luck.
In truth, the second branch of the Qin family knew it wasn’t about luck but rather the accumulation of long-standing issues. It was only because of Ji Fei, the anomaly, that everything had come to light so quickly. Without Ji Fei, these problems might have remained hidden for years.
But Qin Xian and Ji Fei knew each other inside out, so there was no need to worry.
Suddenly, Qin Xian spoke up, “Since everyone’s here, I’ll take this opportunity to announce that after Grandfather’s birthday celebration, you’ll all need to set aside some time to attend Fei Fei’s and my wedding. We’ll pick a good date and let you know.”
The room was in an uproar.
“Really? You’re going to hold it right after?”
“But didn’t Grandfather say…”
“It’s fine. I’ll talk to Grandfather. I don’t want to wait any longer,” Qin Xian said, turning to Ji Fei. “We don’t believe in those things.”
Seeing Qin Xian’s seriousness, Ji Fei nodded as well. “Yes, we don’t believe in them. We only believe in each other.”
When the right person is there, even the worst luck can’t stand in the way.
There was nothing left to say but to offer congratulations.
Qin Zhao even boldly declared, “Perfect timing. Grandfather’s birthday will bring you good fortune.”
Everyone burst into laughter again.
The atmosphere became even more harmonious, making Yu Lu feel even more like an outsider.
Yu Lu couldn’t take it anymore. If this continued, she might explode in anger. She excused herself, saying she was tired and needed to rest, and asked a servant to show her to her room.
As a quasi-daughter of the family, she still stayed with them.
After she left, everyone exchanged glances and chuckled quietly.
“She’s so annoying,” Qin Tiantian couldn’t help but say. It was rare to hear Tiantian express dislike for someone.
“What? Weren’t you very enthusiastic at first?” Qin Xiaoyu teased.
“But she was so rude to Jiaxi, and she’s been so hostile to Second Sister-in-law. What’s she thinking? Does she want to ruin Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law’s relationship?” Qin Tiantian pouted.
“Do you think their relationship can be ruined?” Qin Jing pointed across the room.
Ji Fei was already sitting cross-legged on the sofa, completely enveloped in Qin Xian’s embrace, as if she were a precious treasure. He was even feeding her fruit, completely oblivious to the world around them. With such an intense bond, there was no room for anyone else to interfere.
Their Second Brother was like an iron tree that rarely bloomed, but when it did, it was only for one person.
Qin Tiantian found it unbearably sweet and wanted to take a photo to send to Second Brother, who always rewarded her with red packets.
“I didn’t know much about Auntie’s daughter before, but now it seems she’s not the type to give up easily. I wonder if she’ll stop after tonight.”
