Chapter 298 Hiding the Truth (2/2)

“I’m home,” Qin Sheng said as he put away his umbrella.

Lin Yue, wearing slippers and an apron, rushed out of the kitchen and said in a surprised voice, “Here comes my brother-in-law. I’m asking you what magic you have done to my sister to transform her from a rich young lady to a good wife. She used to be served with everything by the servants. But now she can cook so well. I admire you so much.”

“No more flattering. Do me a favor. Would you mind taking this umbrella to the balcony?” Qin Sheng asked Lin Yue and handed her the umbrella, giving a helpless glance to her.

Lin Su came out of the kitchen and stared at Qin Sheng. She seemed to have something to say but finally said nothing. She smiled and said, “One moment please. Lunch is almost ready.”

Qin Sheng laughed and said, “Today I can eat three bowls of rice.”

Lin Yue came back from the balcony and said, “My brother-in-law, I also cooked a dish for you. But I’m not as good of a cook as my sister. If you have any suggestion, just keep it.”

“You’ve done some cooking?” Qin Sheng was surprised. Lin Su had lived alone before, so she had done some cooking in those days. But Lin Yue was literally a fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful young lady. Even when she was studying abroad, she had hired a maid to cook. Lin Yue, literally, had never cooked.

Lin Yue was a little annoyed. “Why? You don’t believe me? I’m learning from my sister to become a future good wife. So I should learn to entertain guests and do some cooking, attracting my future husband with both my beauty and ability.”

That was a good idea. So Qin Sheng praised her by saying, “Nice, good girl. I promise you a good future.”

Qin Sheng went to change clothes and Lin Yue went to the kitchen to learn cooking. A few minutes later, Qin Sheng was asked to come out of the study for lunch. He was really surprised when he saw the feast on the table.

There were six dishes and one soup, as well as the boiled vegetable made by Lin Yue. Anyway, Lin Yue had tried her best to cook and Qin Sheng never expected her to cook any complicated cuisine. The dish in the center of the table was Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish, Qin Sheng’s favorite. Lin Su had spared no effort on today’s lunch.

So Qin Sheng ate most of the feast. He did eat three bowls of rice as he said. Lin Su and Lin Yue were surprised by Qin Sheng. Compared with him, the two sisters really ate little, they even split a bowl of rice. It was Lin Yue’s first time to cook. But with the help of Lin Su, the boiled vegetable that Lin Yue made was not bad.

After the lunch, Lin Yue left to hang out with her friend. But she would invite Qin Sheng and Lin Su to a big dinner, her treat. The “little girl” started to work in a branch company belonging to the Lin family now. She was, of course, a rich young lady.

After Lin Yue left, Qin Sheng let Lin Su take a rest while he washed the dishes. When he finished washing and came back from the kitchen, Lin Su had made Pu’er tea in the sitting room, waiting for him. Obviously, she was talking with him about what happened this morning. But Qin Sheng didn’t want to tell Lin Su the truth, so he was thinking about how to shift her attention.

Qin Sheng took a seat beside Lin Su. Lin Su poured him a cup of tea. This delicate set of tea tools was carefully chosen by Lin Su. Recently, they decided to buy an apartment and would make a down payment in two days. Lin Su wanted to write both of their names on the property ownership certificate, but Qin Sheng refused, wanting the house to belong to Lin Su alone. He said he won’t trouble himself to care about chores around the house, and the name on the certificate was not a big deal. And the financial power of the family should belong to the wife. Lin Su tried to persuade Qin Sheng, but then gave up.

“How did the talk go?” Lin Su asked carefully, fearing that this would irritate Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng chuckled and said, “It went very well. Anyway, Yan Chaozong was always the young master of the Yan family, with his great pride.”

“Did he give you any trouble?” Lin Su was worried. She didn’t want Qin Sheng to suffer.

Qin Sheng laughed and said, “All as I expected. Of course he wanted to trouble me but not a lot. Your husband is not a coward. I’ll never be a sacrificial lamb.”

“What about the result?” Lin Su said and frowned. She felt something but was not sure.

Qin Sheng sighed and said, “The talk went nowhere.”

Lin Su felt weird. Qin Sheng’s casual voice made her almost believe that the talk went well and had a good result. She didn’t expect this, and asked, “Why?”

“He said he wanted you. Then, it was over,” Qin Sheng said. This was a reasonable explanation that Lin Su would not suspect.

Lin Su stared at Qin Sheng and kept silent for a while. Then she held Qin Sheng’s hand and said, “What will you do?”

“We’ll see. There will be another talk soon,” Qin Sheng said and chuckled, hugging Lin Su’s shoulder.

Lin Su nodded and leaned her head on Qin Sheng’s shoulder. She didn’t ask anything else, for she felt much better now.

But what about Qin Sheng?

Yan Chaozong was not a patient person. So he had to make the decision as soon as possible.
