Xiao Long seemed to snort, and he moved his body away from Qiao Xin then Xiao Long appeared to take a deep breath. Then he looked at Qiao Xin again with that icy gaze of his.
"Maybe it's Grandpa, I'll take a shower first," Xiao Long decided. After saying that, Xiao Long rushed into the bathroom. Then Qiao Xin immediately ran to open the door, and sure enough, the figure outside was Xiao Chuan.
Qiao Xin reluctantly looked at Xiao Chuan, and then she smiled crookedly.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Qiao Xin then asked.
Xiao Chuan then took Qiao Xin out towards the living room, the two of them were now sitting, and one of the maids came bringing fresh fruit and hot tea for both of them.
"Xiao Long said last night you had a fever, are you well?" asked Xiao Chuan then.
Qiao Xin nodded, remembering her fever last night. Qiao Xin seemed embarrassed too. Especially about what just happened. Yes, Qiao Xin was even confused with herself. She didn't expect and understand what had happened to her at all. Qiao Xin is like the stupidest woman in the world. Xiao Long so easily deceives her that even what Xiao Long does cannot be separated from the influence of the chip embedded in his brain.
Qiao Xin then took a deep breath, causing Xiao Chuan, who was watching Qiao Xin, who preferred daydreaming rather than answering her question, to draw an eyebrow perfectly. A rather strange thing, especially when he saw the red marks on Qiao Xin's neck. Yes, last night or even last night, something had happened between Xiao Long and Qiao Xin. Xiao Xuan knew that. Although until this moment, the two grandchildren were reluctant to admit their feelings. How to admit, even, to be honest, they seem unwilling. Even so far, how could both of them still feel reluctant and feel that they didn't love each other?
Xiao Chuan took a deep breath, and then he glanced at Qiao Xin again and smiled sweetly.
"Qiqi, have you recovered? Looks like you're still sick today? You're still sick, Qiqi."
"Oh, of course not, Grandpa. I'm fine, I can even go to work later." Qiao Xin said she immediately smiled perfectly, then poured hot tea for her grandfather and herself, sipping the tea so politely. "Tea with ginger?" guessed Qiao Xin. Xiao Chuan smiled again.
"Reportedly this recipe is very good for health, especially for people who have a fever. If you drink this regularly, you will recover quickly."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"You're welcome, Qiqi. Oh yeah, can grandpa ask you for some help?" asked Xiao Chuan then. Qiao Xin looked up at Xiao Chuan, who was standing, took a document from one of the desk drawers, and then handed the paper to Qiao Xin.
"What, grandpa?"
"In this family, there is an engraved name along with a signature that will be engraved in jade and placed on the front of the main courtyard of the Han family residence, since now that the Han family has you, I would like you to write a bright name, along with a sign. your hand. Don't you mind that?" asked Xiao Chuan then.
Several times Qiao Xin didn't answer right away, and she was really in a dilemma right now. How not? This is a very confusing thing. Obeying his grandfather's request is equivalent to something that may not make sense. How could it not be if Qiao Xin agreed? Wouldn't it be the same if Qiao Xin decided to include her name on the Han family's certificate? Because the engraving on the jade was the same as the Han family's deed, and having her added there was a fundamental matter.
"Qiqi, why did you take so long to think? Is there something strange about this grandpa's request?"
"Oh, of course not, grandpa. It's just that I—"
"You don't need to be like this, Qiqi. You are the granddaughter-in-law in this family, how can you refuse to do it. Could it be that you also don't want to put your name on the Han family certificate and change your name to Han Qiao Xin?" guessed Xiao Chuan.
Hearing this, Qiao Xin's eyes immediately widened utterly. Then she shook her head so real. This was entirely beyond Qiao Xin's expectations, and what was, even more, was that Qiao Xin didn't want Xiao Chuan to find out that Xiao Long had not put her name on the Han family's certificate at all.
"Okay, grandpa. Sorry, I just feel unworthy and a little unaccustomed to it, and I'm really feeling nervous," Qiao Xin lied.
Hearing Qiao Xin's approval, Xiao Chuan seemed to smile. How not? This is a golden opportunity for him.
"After you sign this, don't ever regret entering the Han family, Qiqi," said Xiao Chuan. Qiao Xin nodded her head, and then she smiled sweetly.
Xiao Chuan then opened a paper, and there were some quite long writings. Qiao Xin couldn't read the report because Xiao Chuan covered it. After all, Qiao Xin believed in Xiao Chuan. Without reading what was on it, Qiao Xin immediately put her bright name along with her signature. Then Xiao Chuan quickly closed the paper and hugged his very closely.
Xiao Chuan seemed to take a deep breath, how relieved he was that he had done all this. Even though there was guilt creeping into his heart, but Xiao Chuan didn't care. At least what he did, even though it was wrong later on, might help Xiao Long's relationship with Qiao Xin.
"Thank you very much, Qiqi. Thank you for being part of the Han family, thank you for being so dear to Grandpa, and Xiao Long's parents, thank you again, Qiqi. Grandpa hopes that even when he's always want to see you become a part of the Han family. Now, will you make a promise to grandpa?" Xiao Chuan said again.
Qiao Xin seemed to be squeezing the ends of her pajamas, and then she looked at Xiao Chuan with a severe expression on her face.
"What is it, Grandpa?"
"You know, don't you? If people are honest, good people always keep their promises no matter what happens, happy or not, happy or not, because a promise is the same as a responsibility that we have to do until we die,"
"Hearing grandfather's words like this, made me think that the promise Grandpa wanted to hear from me was a promise about giving up one's life or something."
Xiao Chuan smiled faintly again, and he didn't expect that Qiao Xin had a pretty high sense of humor.
"Until death picks you and Xiao Long up, promise your grandfather that you will always be husband and wife."
Deg!
Qiao Xin's heart stopped spinning. How could it not be? A promise like this was hefty, and it was the same as telling Qiao Xin to stay married to Xiao Long forever. How could Qiao Xin promise like that? In other circumstances, Qiao Xin had indeed made a mistake, not to mention lying in front of Xiao Chuan. She even lied in front of God and the two families.
"Grandfather, I… I, what I mean is that everyone never knows what will happen next, what will happen after this, and so on. everyone can try and do the best we want. But the problem of mate and death are all written by destiny from God. So how can grandpa tell me to make such a promise? Isn't that the same as grandpa telling me to precede destiny from God? A thing that will probably never be forgiven forever."
Hearing this, Xiao Chuan seemed speechless. Then he put on a sad face.
"Alright, if you are reluctant to say the promise, Qiqi. Looks like grandpa is feeling weak, and soon—"
"Alright, alright!" Qiao Xin decided in the end, how could she have the heart to let Xiao Chuan be sad, especially when it comes to the matter of death. Qiao Xin immediately closed her eyes tightly, and then she took a very long breath. She looked at Xiao Chuan with a determined gaze. "I promise to keep my marriage to Xiao Long even until death does us part. How about it, is grandpa happy about it?"
"So what is the punishment for breaking a promise? Do you want to do your oath to grandpa?"
Qiao Xin fell silent again, and then she looked at Xiao Chuan with an annoyed expression on her face. How could it not be? Even at this point, Xiao Chuan really couldn't imagine that she would be pushed further by Xiao Chuan so that Qiao Xin would hold on to her promise properly without any intention of betraying his at all.
"If I break this marriage vow, I am willing that when I die I will not meet Father in heaven. Are you satisfied with my oath?"
Xiao Chuan also seemed to nod his head, and then he took another deep breath. Honestly, it would be very evil for Xiao Chuan to force Qiao Xin to say things to this extent, thrust in such an inhuman way. But what can he do other than this? This was the last thing Xiao Chuan could do to keep Xiao Long's marriage together with Qiao Xin. Even now, Xiao Chuan felt a little relieved, even more so than Qiao Xin. Xiao Chuan would never be willing if Qiao Xin fell into the hands of another man, even if that man was Xuan Cheng. Because Xiao Chuan only wants Qiao Xin to be with Xiao Long. Xiao Long had found the woman he truly loved, and Xiao Chuan would never let his grandson break his heart a second time.
