for Advance Chapter
I was running slowly along the beach with Qin Xinmei, glancing sideways at the clown flower stuck in her hair, and then my gaze fell on her delicate face. Her nose was small, crystal clear and shiny, her profile was pretty and pure, and her thin red lips were as curved as a cherry. The more I looked at her, the more addicted I became.
At this time, I couldn't help but smile and decided to get up early every day and ask her to go jogging.
Although Qin Xinmei was sometimes very mean to me and behaved very brutally towards me, her little face often changed in many ways in front of me, making people love and hate her.
However, I can feel that she really cares about me, and sometimes she shows a motherly and doting emotion. What's more, beneath her cold face, she hides a hypocritical heart.
Beneath her cold exterior that resembles a queen, her heart is fragile and she feels aggrieved.
"Chen Qing, we've been running for half an hour. Let's go back and have breakfast." Qin Xinmei suddenly stopped running and walked slowly with her long beautiful legs.
She stared at me, her arms draped over her slender waist, and her little mouth was breathing slightly.
"I don't want to go back so early. It's a rare occasion for you not to go to work. Why don't we take a walk and enjoy the sea breeze?" I naturally took Qin Xinmei's hand and walked towards the path in the seaside park.
The trees are green, the coconut trees are towering, the lawns are lush, and the sea breeze is blowing, making it extremely comfortable.
"Okay, let's walk a little further and then go back. I guess Si Ting just got up as well."
Qin Xinmei did not object and let me hold her little hand. She lowered her eyes and glanced at the big hand holding her jade hand. It was warm, generous and powerful. Her eyes were extremely complicated and she sighed secretly. Things were becoming more and more beyond her expectations.
She understood the meaning of the clown flower that her son mentioned, and the affectionate voice of her son's confession today still lingered in her mind from time to time.
If one day he knew her identity, how would he react?
"Qin Xinmei, what are you thinking about? Are you feeling unwell?" I saw that Qin Xinmei looked dazed, her mind was a little unfocused, her face was a little tense, and she lacked her usual queen-like temperament.
I was a little worried, and couldn't help but gently squeeze the soft, boneless little hand in my palm.
"It's okay, don't worry." Qin Xinmei saw that I was worried and spoke in a gentle tone, but her face became cold again.
"Your Majesty, don't you know that I am worried when you were like that just now?" I couldn't help but frown, staring into her clear eyes, and pretended to be angry.
"Are you worried about me? Then again, you said we were taking a walk, but you just wanted to hold my hand." Qin Xinmei looked teasing and glanced at me, but didn't pull her hand away.
She knew my little thoughts and exposed them without hesitation, but also fell into my little thoughts.
"Yes, yes, I do think so, but you didn't object." I held Qin Xinmei's hand and pressed my body against hers. Her hand felt extremely soft and a little bit cool.
At this moment, a smile appeared on my lips and I didn't feel embarrassed.
"I didn't expect you to be thicker-skinned than bricks." Qin Xin had a teasing expression and tried hard to break free from that big hand with her delicate hands, but unfortunately she felt as if she were restrained by a pair of pliers.
"Qin Xinmei, do you like me?" I stopped, held Qin Xinmei's hand, and asked seriously.
"You are still young, don't think about these things all day long, focus on your studies, okay?" Qin Xinmei frowned, her tone serious, and her cold face looked a little unnatural.
"Qin Xinmei, are you rejecting me or agreeing to me?" I blinked, staring at her delicate and cold face, and my eyes met hers.
Qin Xinmei glanced at me without saying anything, her face calm, and the two of us walked slowly on the green path.
"I'm tired. I won't walk anymore. I'll go back after a rest." Qin Xinmei pulled her small hand out of my big hand, sat on the stone bench, stretched her slender legs as far as possible and relaxed them to relieve the fatigue of her legs.
"Wait a moment, I'm going to buy something." I suddenly ran towards the direction where a few people were gathered not far away.
There was a 60-year-old man pushing a bicycle and selling candied haws, and there were already several people surrounding him.
Qin Xinmei was stunned for a moment. After she understood what I was going to do, her beautiful face slowly relaxed and the cold expression on her face also receded like the tide, and instantly it was like a spring breeze blowing on her face.
After a while, I came back with four strings of candied haws and sat next to Qin Xinmei.
"You bought so much, can you finish it?" Qin Xinmei took a string of candied haws, tore off the transparent plastic wrap with her jade fingers, and asked doubtfully.
"One for Sister Siting, and one for Aunt Xin." I answered without thinking, put a rosy and shiny candied haws in my mouth, and then took a bite, feeling a soft, sweet taste in my mouth.
"How are you getting along with Siting?" Qin Xinmei took a small bite of the candied haws and chewed it slowly, very elegantly.
"She's a very nice person, simple and smart, but you can see that she's a little lonely." I stared at Qin Xinmei, thought for a moment, and expressed my thoughts.
I chatted with Chen Siting in the room last night and got to know her personality a little bit. The girl is not only beautiful, but also very simple.
"I was asking about how you get along with her, not her personality. She is my daughter, don't I know everything about her?" Qin Xinmei frowned, her tone was a little aggressive, but her confidence was a little lacking.
The son was saying in a disguised way that she spent all her time on work and never spent time with Chen Siting.
"Look at your tone. You want to be mean to me after just a few words." I sneered and wanted to tease Qin Xinmei a few more times, but who knew that my ear was pinched by a cool and soft jade hand.
"Chen Qing, you want to rebel. Who are you trying to tease with your sarcasm?" Qin Xinmei pinched my ear with her jade fingers and slowly turned it, but the force was not strong. It looked more like a threat.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I admit my mistake, okay?" I raised my hands in surrender and rolled my eyes at Qin Xinmei. I couldn't help but smell the familiar lotus scent on her body, which was faint and the more I smelled it, the more addicted I became.
"This child is teachable." Qin Xinmei let go of my ear with her jade hand, and a smile naturally appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She sat up straight, lifted her hair with her delicate hands, and continued to eat the candied haws. As far as she could remember, she hadn't eaten this sweet, fragrant and glutinous thing for more than ten years.
"Eat the candied haws later. There's a bug in your hair, the green, furry kind. Don't move yet. I'll help you throw it away." I suddenly said, looking at Qin Xinmei with horror and seriousness.
"Bugs?" Qin Xinmei had just put a candied haws in her lips without chewing it. She turned her head and saw my horrified expression. She felt numb all over and shivered. She was so scared that she froze.
Insects are women's natural enemies. Almost all women are afraid of them, and Qin Xinmei is no exception.
"Don't move, I'll slowly push it open." I blinked and slowly moved my hands around Qin Xinmei's head. Her body was trembling slightly.
A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth and I held the back of Qin Xinmei's head. Then she saw my strange look and felt something was wrong.
Unfortunately, when she came to her senses, it was too late. I pressed my mouth against her soft and smooth lips, sucked the half of the candied haws that she had bitten between her lips and teeth into my mouth, then turned and ran away.
"Haha, I've finished mine. It's not too much if you give me half of it." I turned to Qin Xinmei who was in a daze, shouted, and ran home.
Qin Xinmei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She touched her lips with her delicate hand. The sun shone on her. Her white sportswear was intertwined with the light and shadow under the coconut trees. It was so beautiful and quiet that it made people's hearts beat fast.
I suddenly stopped and saw the beautiful figure not far behind me. It looked hazy and dreamy.
"Run, why don't you run anymore?" Qin Xinmei's delicate face was a little gloomy, and her smile was faint, but it made people feel a little chilly in this sunny day.
"I'm waiting for you, why are you running?" I couldn't help but ask while holding two strings of candied haws.
"Aren't you afraid of me anymore?" Qin Xinmei's tone was very calm. She walked towards me slowly with her long and slender legs, her eyes grim.
"Hey, what's wrong? Do you still want to beat me?" I stretched my head over, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
From what I've learned over the past few days, I know Qin Xinmei won't do anything to me at all.
Who doesn't know how to bluff?
"Sometimes, I really want to beat you up, but when I think about it, I feel like I can't do it." Qin Xinmei walked around me and said softly in a clear voice, "Go back. I'm hungry."
I looked at Qin Xinmei's pretty figure and was stunned. This was not like the style of a queen. I felt like something was missing unless she beat me up or scolded me.
However, when I think about the few days I have been with her, she has never scolded me and has always been gentle and doting on me, which gives me the confidence to be so reckless with her.
"Chen Qing, why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and catch up?" Qin Xinmei saw that I was still standing there in a daze. She was probably afraid that I would get lost or for some other reason. Her cold face was speechless.
I followed her with a smile on my face, walking shoulder to shoulder with Qin Xinmei. Her face was fair with a few blushes on it, probably because of the strong sunlight.
"You really won't hit me a few times? How about if you really hit me a few times, I'll feel more comfortable?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Shut up." Qin Xinmei said expressionlessly and continued walking forward.
I chose to keep my mouth shut. It seemed that Qin Xinmei, who doted on me so much, was finally a little angry.
After we returned to the villa, Chen Siting was already eating breakfast at the dining table, and Li Weixin was washing vegetables in the kitchen, probably preparing ingredients for lunch.
"Mom, brother, did you go jogging?" Chen Siting couldn't help but ask when she saw her mother and me wearing sportswear.
Her long hair was casually scattered on her shoulders. She wore a striped round-neck Korean-style top, a loose and fashionable white short-sleeved cotton shirt, and black tight pants. She looked a little lazy, a typical Korean beauty.
"Little girl, even though you are on summer vacation, you can't be so lazy. You have to get up earlier in the future, otherwise you will get used to it." Qin Xinmei glanced at Chen Siting. Seeing the lazy look of this girl, she knew that she had just got up.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your orders. From now on, I will get up at the cockcrow and go to bed at sunset." Chen Siting swallowed a mouthful of porridge and laughed. Then her eyes fell on me and she blinked.
"You're so talkative." Qin Xinmei ignored Chen Siting, glanced at me, and then walked into the bathroom.
"Sister, look what I brought you?" I handed a string of candied haws to Chen Siting and then walked towards the kitchen.
Beautiful mature woman Li Weixin was half bent over picking vegetables in the wash basin. Her plump and round buttocks were very attractive. She felt someone behind her. When she turned around and saw me, she smiled and said, "Chen Qing, you must be hungry. Have you had breakfast? Where is Ms. Qin? Why don't I see her?"
"Aunt Xin, we just came back from a run. This is for you. I bought it on the way." I handed the candied haws to Li Weixin and then returned to the dining table.
Li Weixin looked at me, stunned for a while, carefully placed the candied haws on a plate beside her, and then went on to wash the vegetables.
"Sister, are the candied haws sweet?" I sat next to Chen Siting. This beautiful girl helped me serve the porridge. She was as thoughtful as Qin Xinmei.
However, I didn't pick up my chopsticks and was waiting for Qin Xinmei. I saw an empty bowl across the table, so I stood up and filled a bowl of porridge.
Just then, Qin Xinmei came out of the bathroom, walked to Chen Siting, and sat in the seat I had just sat in.
"Brother, where did you buy the candied haws? I haven't eaten something so sweet, sticky and refreshing in a long time." Chen Siting glanced at her mother, chuckled, and blinked.
"I bought it just now after running at the beach." I sat down and started eating breakfast.
"Yeah, then next time you run, buy one more string. One isn't enough." Chen Siting reminded me while chewing a candied haws and licking her jade fingers covered with syrup with her little tongue.
"If you eat too much sugar, you will get fat and lose your teeth. Aren't you afraid of becoming ugly? What will you do if you can't find a boyfriend?" I put down the bowl and joked and threatened her.
"Brother, who are you trying to scare? I'm not a child. Just remember to bring one more. If you don't have money, I'll give you some." Chen Siting finished the last candied haws and felt unsatisfied. She sucked her little finger and gave me a dissatisfied look, thinking that I was stingy and didn't buy it for her.
"Okay, since you're right, I'll push back the old man selling candied haws' bicycle as well. That's fine, right?" I rolled my eyes at Chen Siting and said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, you said it, I'll give you the money now and buy you the bicycle too." Chen Siting said seriously, handing me a stack of nearly 3,000 RMB.
"Sister, are you serious?" I looked at Chen Siting in shock and did not take the RMB. This beautiful girl did not look like she was joking and actually took out the money.
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter, brother. You're so funny. You're much more naive than the 11-year-old brother of Xiaoli in our class." Chen Siting laughed while clapping the table, her pair of white little feet swaying.
This Korean version of the beautiful girl's image is completely ruined.
"Damn it, it's so damn damn." At this moment, the image of Chen Siting as a beautiful girl in my mind completely collapsed.
Not long ago, I told Qin Xinmei that Chen Siting is not only simple-minded but also smart. Now, I take back what I said.
What is pure thought? It is all false.
Qin Xinmei looked at Chen Siting and me, the two siblings talking and laughing, and she couldn't help feeling a little strange in her heart. A smile appeared at the corner of her red lips, and she ate her porridge by herself.
"Chen Qing, this is called "evil will be punished by evil." At this moment, Qin Xinmei couldn't help but sneer.
"Qin Xinmei, okay, you actually laughed at me too?" I was so ashamed and angry, looking at Qin Xinmei's perfect and smiling face, which was so charming and beautiful, I was stunned for a moment.
"From now on, the two of you are not allowed to talk anymore. Hurry up and eat your breakfast. Do you understand?" Qin Xinmei saw me staring at her blankly, and then she put on a cold face.
"Okay, then you and your daughter are bullying me." I pretended to sigh and then smiled slightly.
"Chen Qing, after breakfast, come shopping with me." Chen Siting glanced at her mother with a cold face, then turned to look at me, and said in a low voice with anticipation on her face.
"Okay, since I have nothing to do anyway, I'll accompany you." I thought about it and agreed with a frown. It's very tiring to accompany a woman shopping. I've accompanied Sister Inina Ellie shopping before.
Then, I turned to look at Qin Xinmei, and she seemed to know what I was thinking. She raised her head and said, "Come back before 2pm. I booked a farm this morning for four days."
"Mom, so you mean, we're going out to play for four days?" Chen Siting was surprised and puzzled, and did not quite believe what her mother said.
"Yes, for four days. Mom hasn't been with you for a long time." Qin Xinmei glanced at Chen Siting, turned her head and fixed her gentle eyes on my face.
I was a little surprised when I saw that Qin Xinmei didn't seem to be joking.
Then she suddenly understood that the vice president of Xinzi Group whom I had never met had returned. Now that there was a vice president, Qin Xinmei took a few days off and secretly arranged her itinerary.
Qin Xinmei stood up and walked to the second floor. After thinking for a while, she turned to me and Chen Siting and said, "We have to be at the farm at 5:30 pm. Don't play so hard that you forget the time."
