"Do you think I know about the Hong Group?" What Hong Group? I’ve never even heard of it.
"It’s quite normal that you don’t know them, the Hong Group is just a small conglomerate, of course, it wouldn’t catch your eye." He just wanted An Ruichen to acknowledge them, even if he didn’t know them, showing his face was still good, at least in the future he could boast about having spoken with Master An and Madam Mo, and by then those people would definitely try to curry favor with him.
"Miss Qin, are you and Master An shopping?"
Seeing that he couldn’t gain favor in front of An Ruichen, Hong Xing approached Qin Qin in a sycophantic manner, bending over and bowing.
Qin Qin couldn’t stand Hong Xing’s flattery and stepped back, but Hong Xing pretended not to see and moved closer, "Miss Qin, isn’t Master Mo accompanying you? Has this bitch caused you any trouble? Let me give her a lesson for you."
Seeing Lee Xin on the ground, Hong Xing, without a word, yanked her up and slapped her hard several times.
"You bitch, have you offended Miss Qin? Apologize to her now."
"Hong Xing, what right do you have to hit me? If it weren’t for the fake bracelet you gave me, this would never have happened. I’m going to take you on!" Lee Xin charged at Hong Xing, her slender nails scratching his face. In front of everyone, Hong Xing lost face as a man, and ignoring Qin Qin and An Ruichen’s presence, he hit Lee Xin several more times, causing her cheeks to swell and her to cry out loud.
An Ke frowned deeply, and An Ruichen covered her eyes, walking over to Qin Qin, "Let’s go, there’s nothing to see here."
Qin Qin nodded, and the four of them walked aside.
Upon meeting up, at An Ke’s suggestion, they went to the coffee shop on the second floor.
"Does Master Mo really let you come out alone?" An Ruichen asked, leaning lazily against the chair back, smiling at Qin Qin.
An Ke sat quietly in front of An Ruichen.
"What’s there to worry about? I’m not a three-year-old child." Qin Qin put her bag aside, and An Ke curiously looked over.
"Qin Qin, why did you buy so much yarn?"
Hearing his wife’s puzzled voice, An Ruichen looked over and saw the black and white yarn inside, understandingly flashing a smile.
"Of course, it’s for her Master Mo, Qin Qin is such a good wife and loving mother, wanting to knit a scarf for Master Mo."
Gan Tiantian said with a smile while sipping her coffee, Qin Qin glanced at her, wanting to stuff the pastries on the table into her mouth to keep her from talking.
An Ke smiled knowingly, "You know how to knit scarves?"
Qin Qin shook her head, "No, but I can learn."
"Then I’ll give it a try too." An Ke was eager, she also wanted to knit a scarf for An Ruichen; she had always been in poor health and hardly ever bought him gifts. The season seemed right for knitting scarves.
"No, you can’t. You’re not well, and the weather is cold," An Ruichen said, holding An Ke’s hand firmly, refusing to let her touch such things.
"I’m much better now. Look, I can even go shopping with you today. I owe it all to the medicine Qin Qin prescribed for me; her medical skills are truly amazing." Since taking Qin Qin’s medicine, her breathing had improved significantly, and she was now able to go shopping with An Ruichen.
"Still no," An Ruichen said, frowning and shaking his head.
An Ke looked at An Ruichen with pitiful eyes, who turned his gaze away, afraid he might soften and agree to her request.
An Ke glared at An Ruichen angrily, if he prohibited her from knitting, she was determined to knit it just to show him.
"He does this because he cares about you," Gan Tiantian whispered. Honestly, she was very envious of the two couples, An Ruichen and An Ke, Master Mo and Qin Qin; the men were especially doting on the women. She wished she could meet someone like that too.
"Then Master Mo must also be worried about Qin Qin!"
An Ruichen pinched An Ke’s hand, "Do you think if Mo Yunchen knew, Qin Qin would still be able to knit a scarf? He’d be too worried to allow it."
Qin Qin, who had remained silent, glanced at An Ruichen.
"Don’t look at me like that; I’m telling the truth. You’re definitely knitting that scarf without Mo Yunchen knowing, aren’t you? If he finds out, you definitely won’t be able to finish it. He’d worry himself sick."
He knew Mo Yunchen all too well. He was extremely protective of his own wife, not to mention Mo Yunchen who valued Qin Qin more than his own life, even saying she was more important than his own.
After spending a while in the coffee shop, the four split up.
No sooner had they left the mall than Mo Yunchen’s call came through, asking where she was so he could come pick her up.
Qin Qin handed her shopping bag to Gan Tiantian, "Please take this back for me first, I’ll come back later."
