"Sun Qian," Wang Shu looked at the words on his phone screen and asked, "Who is this Sun Qian?"
Xiao Qi pulled Wang Shu into his arms and asked, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
"Not at all," Wang Shu said seriously. "The name sounds like a girl's. You're here with me, yet she's calling you frantically. Isn't it... one of your mistresses?"
"What are you saying?" Xiao Qi frowned slightly before hesitantly explaining to the now lying in his arms Wang Shu, "She is my mother's friend's daughter. She came to Yangcheng with my mother this time, and my mother thinks she would make a good wife for me, but I only see her as a sister. My mom might have been the one making calls."
"How does she look?" Wang Shu lay in Xiao Qi's arms, putting a slice of watermelon into his mouth.
"Okay, I suppose," Xiao Qi said casually.
Wang Shu felt a bit bitter inside. She had thought that Xiao Qi and her were separated only by Xia An, but now she realized there was Sun Qian between them as well.
Ding Lihu did not like Xia An, so maybe she wouldn't like Wang Shu either.
"Xiao Qi," Wang Shu lifted her head to look at his chin. Several days without shaving had made it slightly discolored.
"What's wrong?" He lowered his head and asked the lying in his arms Wang Shu.
"What... is our relationship now?" Wang Shu had been thinking about this question for a long time, finally mustering up the courage to ask.
Xiao Qi was taken aback. Honestly, he chose to stay with Wang Shu because he felt no pressure at all around her; he could do whatever he wanted without any restraint.
Shocked by this unexpected question from Wang Shu, Xiao Qi didn't know how to answer and simply said, "What do you think our relationship is now?"
"I..." Without getting a positive response from Xiao Qi, Wang Shu felt rather bitter. However, she knew herself well enough that in just one night, it was impossible for Xiao Qi to forget Xia An.
It mattered little; she could wait.
She smiled and said, "Is what I think of our relationship true?"
Xiao Qi raised an eyebrow but remained noncommittal.
Wang Shu's face showed a sly smile as she reached under Xiao Qi's shirt. His eyes narrowed, and in the next second, he had carried Wang Shu into his room.
Afterward, while lying on the bed, Wang Shu turned to Xiao Qi and said, "Maybe we should meet your mother sometime?"
Xiao Qi was taken aback. He asked, "Why are you thinking about this now?"
"You didn't say? I think our relationship is what it is," Wang Shu leaned against Xiao Qi's chest, adding softly, "Considering where we stand now, shouldn't we be able to meet your future mother-in-law?"
Wang Shu smiled. "Since Aunt Sun came to Yangcheng and I couldn't properly entertain her, with my leg almost healed, I think it would be proper for me as a hostess. What do you think?"
