Sweet Beauty

Chapter 881: Shouldn’t You Give Me A Practical Thank You

“Mom, lower your voice.” He took an apple from the basket and wiped it on his shirt before putting it in his mouth. With a cracking sound, he took a big bite.     

Lin Xiu was furious. “I asked you a question! What’s wrong with your face? Did you hurt yourself because of last night?”     

“Yes.” Qin Shanyuan nodded his head in a daze. Lin Xiu’s angry roar immediately rang in his ears. “Qin Yu, didn’t you say your brother wasn’t seriously injured?”     

Qin Yu wanted to complain, but in front of the angry Lin Xiu, she could only lower her head submissively.     

Even Liang Zixuan acted as if she’d done something wrong and didn’t dare to say anything.     

Being yelled loudly by Lin Xiu, Qin Shanyuan’s sleepiness immediately went away. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Xiu sharply. “Mom, can you lower your voice? You almost broke my eardrums!”     

Lin Xiu was so angry that she clenched her teeth. “You heartless wolf, I’m worried about you!”     

“I know.” Qin Shanyuan nodded, then he squeezed next to Qin Yu. He crossed his legs and casually ate the apple.     

Qin Yu had just been scolded by Lin Xiu and felt very wronged. She wrapped her arm around Qin Shanyuan’s back and pinched his back firmly. “Big brother, what’s wrong with you? Last night, your bruises weren’t that serious.”     

“Huh?” Qin Shanyuan touched his swollen face in surprise. Then as he remembered something, he said, “Oh, this?”     

He smiled embarrassedly. “I’m ashamed to say this, but after I went back to my room last night, I felt dirty, so I went to take a shower. When I took a shower, I didn’t notice something on the floor and fell down. That’s all.”     

Everyone: “…”     

Was there anyone more stupid than him?     

Even taking a bath, he can hurt himself?     

Qin Yu moved away from him in disdain, but Qin Shanyuan pulled her back. “Why are you away from me?”     

Qin Yu snorted with a fake smile. “I’m afraid the retardation will spread.”     

Qin Shanyuan was speechless.     

This was his sister!     

Speaking of what happened last night, Qin Shanyuan also felt wronged.     

He just wanted to take a shower and then go to sleep. But he suddenly lost his balance and bumped his face against the shower faucet.     

Liang Zixuan covered her mouth and laughed loudly. “Then I’ll stay away from you two. If you infected Qin Yu and she infected me, I’d be wrongly accused again.”     

“G-good morning…” Suddenly, a girl’s shy voice sounded behind them.     

Qin Shanyuan immediately looked over his shoulder as if he’d been electrocuted. When he caught sight of Liang Jiaying, he immediately stood up and pulled her hand to walk in front of everyone. “Jiaying, let me introduce you to my family.”     

Liang Jiaying had met more than half of the people present, with the exception of Old Madam Han. And when Qin Shanyuan introduced her to Old Madam Han, she could guess what position Old Madam Han held.     

Here’s Qin Shanyuan, acting like each of them had never met and didn’t know each other, introducing them to Liang Jiaying as if it was the first time they’d met her.         

Lin Xiu couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Shanyuan, we’ve met her before, okay?”     

“I just wanted to introduce her to you for the second time.” Qin Shanyuan paid no attention to Lin Xiu’s words and curled his lips. He pulled Liang Jiaying to an empty sofa and sat down.     

Liang Jiaying was very embarrassed, especially after last night. As soon as she came into contact with Qin Shanyuan, she would remember what had happened. Her face slowly turned red.     

Old Madam Han had always been kind to the younger generation, especially to the girlfriend of her own great-grandson. The more she looked at Liang Jiaying, the more she liked her.     

“Jiaying, are you hot? Why is your face so red?”     

Liang Jiaying smiled awkwardly. “N-no…M-maybe this is my first time facing so many people, so I-I’m a bit nervous.”     

“Don’t be nervous. Even though we all have different surnames, we’re still one family.” Tian Qihua was afraid that Lin Xiu would say something that would hurt Liang Jiaying, so she quickly said it in front of her.     

As expected, Lin Xiu’s mouth was already half-open, but when she heard Tian Qihua’s words, she could only close her mouth and swallow the words she wanted to say.     

Qin Shanyuan saw that everyone was present. At least all the elders. So, he cleared his throat and said seriously, “There’s something I want to say to everyone. I’ve been thinking about this all night and I hope everyone will support me.”     

Everyone’s interest was immediately piqued. They looked at Qin Shanyuan calmly.     

Qin Shanyuan suddenly looked nervously at Liang Jiaying. “J-Jiaying, can you be my girlfriend?”     

“What?”     

Liang Jiaying was confused, everyone present was dumbfounded. No one had expected Qin Shanyuan to move so quickly, nor did they expect him to be so thick-skinned. He asked such a thing in front of so many people and didn’t let the little girl prepare herself mentally first.     

Liang Jiaying immediately became nervous and didn’t know where to put her hands or how to react. She looked at Qin Shanyuan and then turned to everyone. “I-I-I…”     

“Don’t you think it’s too fast?” Qin Yu asked with full understanding.     

Liang Jiaying nodded as if she’d found her savior. “Y-yes, too fast.”     

“It’s not fast.” Qin Shanyuan cleared his throat. “Yes, we haven’t known each other for long, but we’ve been through a lot together. Let’s talk about last night. We’d been through life and death together. Jiaying, I’m very confident with my heart. You’re the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I want to protect you and love you well. I won’t let you be in danger again.”     

Liang Jiaying knew Qin Shanyuan’s feelings. If he didn’t like her, he wouldn’t risk his life to save her.     

But… there were so many people here…     

Liang Jiaying was like a duck on a shelf, putting as a display for everyone to see.     

“Shanyuan… Thank you so much for your help last night. I-”     

“I don’t want you to thank me!” Qin Shanyuan neatly cut off Liang Jiaying’s words. He really didn’t leave her any room to retreat. “I’m a very honest person. If I like it, I like it. If I don’t like it, I don’t like it. No one can control my feelings. After all, I’ve already invaded the wolves’ den for you. Shouldn’t you give me a practical thank you?”     

Qin Yu: “….”     

What should she do if she really wanted to beat her brother?     

Who would force a girl to agree like that?         

Liang Zixuan deliberately coughed from the side, wanting to remind Qin Shanyuan to pay attention to his words.     

But Qin Shanyuan didn’t understand at all. He continued. “I talked a lot with your brother yesterday. I basically know everything about you. Don’t worry. As long as you promise to be my girlfriend, I promise to do everything I can to protect you and your brother. I won’t let anything happen to you. Jiaying, I really like you. Otherwise, why would I help you to this extent?”
