Chapter 149: Telling the Truth

“How was it? Can you do it?”

Lin Beixiu took a deep breath and spoke with a firm tone.

“Don’t worry, Auntie, I can do it.”

Then, he revealed a bitter smile and began to complain, “Actually, I also can’t beat her. Look, she’s always so fierce.”

Qin Han saw him lift up his clothes, revealing a large “wound” on his waist, and she couldn’t help but be shocked.

Was this all her daughter’s doing?

Qin Han smiled and said, “I won’t be able to help you with this.”

She thought about her daughter’s skills and perhaps she should be worried about Lin Beixiu instead.

“When I saw Little Xue’s unusual behavior during the holidays, I asked her about it, and she reluctantly told me a little something. I followed the lead and found you, and of course, I had to investigate you.”

Lin Beixiu nodded, understanding that this was only natural, considering he had “stolen” their little cabbage.

Qin Han smiled and nodded, satisfied, “Actually, my first impression of you is quite good.”

“Let’s just chat until here today. I still have things to do, and I won’t interfere too much with you young people’s matters. I hope Little Xue can bring you to our place next time.”

“Okay, Auntie, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Su Yun unlocked the car, and Lin Beixiu bid farewell to Qin Han before pushing the door open and walking out.

“Wait.”

Just as Lin Beixiu was about to leave, Su Yun called out to him.

Compared to Qin Han, Lin Beixiu was more afraid of Su Yun, feeling that she had a strong animosity towards him from the start.

Su Yun stood in front of him, her tone still not very good, “Although Sister Han has accepted you, I still have some disagreements. You’re the one who taught Little Xue to drink, right?”

Lin Beixiu:…

“Yes, it’s related to me. It’s my fault.” Lin Beixiu’s expression was embarrassed, and this matter was indeed his responsibility.

Seeing him admit it frankly, Su Yun also spoke coldly.

“I’m also Little Xue’s sister, and I’m telling you this because I hope you’ll pay attention.”

Lin Beixiu scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, “I’ll pay attention in the future, and I’ll change this bad habit.”

“It’s best if you do. Take good care of Little Xue.”

After learning about Lin Beixiu’s family background, Su Yun also sympathized with him, thinking that this young man didn’t have any bad intentions, and this was just a small warning, hoping that the two of them would be good.

After the Mercedes-Benz drove away, Lin Beixiu was still standing there, and only then did he realize that his clothes were already wet.

No wonder he was the president; the aura of a strong woman was indeed terrifying. He had been pretending to be calm earlier, but now his legs were soft.

Lin Beixiu let out a sigh of relief, feeling that at least Qin Muxue’s family had accepted him and hadn’t made things difficult for him. He was happy now.

At the same time, he also learned a secret about Qin Muxue’s family.

Lin Beixiu didn’t feel like going to work overtime anymore and instead turned around and went home.

……

In the afternoon, Qin Muxue came out of school and saw Lin Beixiu’s figure in the distance, smiling as she walked towards him.

“Little Bei, you came so early…”

She had just sent a message, and the next moment, she saw Lin Beixiu at the entrance.

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Beixiu hugged her, leaving Qin Muxue stunned for a while, and then her face turned red.

“There are many people around. Can we hug later?”

Indeed, many people were looking at them, and those sharp eyes were all focused on Lin Beixiu.

“Okay, let’s go home.”

Lin Beixiu released her and held her hand, walking towards home.

“Little Bei, I feel like you have a lot on your mind. What’s wrong?”

“Is that so?”

Lin Beixiu touched his face, wondering if he was showing it that obviously.

Qin Muxue nodded, “Yes, tell me. Did something happen when I wasn’t around?”

“No.” Lin Beixiu didn’t plan to tell her that he had already met her mother at this time.

“Really?”

“Yes.”

……

After returning home, Lin Beixiu asked her to change into a new set of clothes, and then they went out to work.

Qin Muxue changed into a nice outfit and followed him out the door.

“What do you want to eat tonight?”

On the way, Lin Beixiu asked.

“Anything is fine. You can just order something for me.”

“Then let’s just eat something random.”

Qin Muxue reminded him, “It has to be from those few stores.”

“I know.”

In Lin Beixiu’s opinion, since they were already eating takeout, it didn’t matter which store it was from, as long as he didn’t see it, it was clean.

However, Qin Muxue was particular about even takeout, and after inquiring with the delivery guys a few times, she chose a few clean stores, and the two of them ordered from those stores every day.

……

In the evening, the two of them walked side by side on the road, and Lin Beixiu revealed a smile, mysteriously saying.

“Mumu, I have something for you.”

“Hmm?”

Lin Beixiu’s fist was placed in her palm, and there was obviously something inside.

Qin Muxue opened her hand, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

When Lin Beixiu released his grip, a piece of candy appeared in her palm.

“I’m giving you candy.”

“That’s it?” Qin Muxue pouted.

It was just a piece of candy, and it seemed a bit childish to show it off like that.

Although she said that, Qin Muxue still took it, unwrapped the packaging, and ate it.

“Sweet.”

“Really? Let me try.”

Lin Beixiu smiled slyly, but Qin Muxue wouldn’t give in to him.

“Dream on.”

“How did you suddenly think of giving me candy?”

Lin Beixiu replied, “There’s still some at home. I bought it in the afternoon and brought it for you.”

Qin Muxue didn’t ask further, and the two of them continued on their way home.

Lin Beixiu put down his things, and Qin Muxue followed him in, seeing the box of candies on the table that Lin Beixiu had bought, along with some snacks.

“I’ve seen you eating potato chips before, but I didn’t know you liked sweets.”

Qin Muxue took the potato chips he handed her, “What’s not to like? I want everything.”

Lin Beixiu smiled and rubbed her head, “You’re indeed a greedy cat.”

……

Lin Beixiu stood on the balcony, gazing at the night sky, lost in thought.

“Little Bei.”

Lin Beixiu heard the voice behind him and turned around, seeing Qin Muxue wiping her hair, standing behind him.

Qin Muxue came to his side, and Lin Beixiu naturally hugged her.

“What are you thinking about? I feel like you’ve been different since I came back this afternoon.” Qin Muxue’s eyes were full of concern.

Lin Beixiu hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Mumu, I have something to tell you. Don’t get angry, okay?”

“Hmm?”

Qin Muxue looked at him curiously, “You have to tell me. How can I know if I should be angry or not if you don’t say anything?”

“I met your mother this afternoon.”

“Ah?”

Qin Muxue was clearly a bit flustered, touching him, “Is everything okay? How did they find you so suddenly?”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Lin Beixiu pushed away her hand, “Don’t think of your mother as so bad. I’m fine.”

Qin Muxue then reacted, her expression embarrassed.

“What did you guys talk about? Did my mom give you a hard time?”

Qin Muxue thought of this again, looking at him worriedly.

Lin Beixiu smiled, “Silly, of course not.”

Lin Beixiu simply told her the facts, omitting what Su Yun said later.

“Did my mom really say that?”
