Xiong Zhentian called his men to drag Sha the Butcher away.
Qin Yi treated Leng Feng and the other three, and after their injuries had recovered somewhat and there was nothing else, he went home.
In the evening, Zheng Shufen prepared dinner, and the family sat around the table, enjoying a happy meal.
While eating, Zheng Shufen wanted to say something, hesitating several times.
Seeing this, Qin Yi said, "Mom, do you have something you want to tell us? If you do, just say it. Is there anything you can't tell your son and daughter?"
Qin Lei also noticed and chimed in, "That's right, just say whatever you want!"
After a moment's hesitation, Zheng Shufen said, "Xiao Yi, Xiao Lei, I want to renovate our old house and then move back!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yi and Qin Lei were both stunned. Qin Lei asked, "Mom, why do you suddenly want to go back to the old house? Aren't you used to living here?"
"Mom, if you're uncomfortable living here, just tell me. There's no need to go back to the old house!" Qin Yi said.
Zheng Shufen waved her hand, "No, I'm not working now, and I feel quite bored staying in the city all day. It would be better to move back to the old house!"
"In the old house, you'll have Aunt Wang and the others for company, which is much better than here where there's not a single acquaintance around!"
Originally, upon hearing her suddenly mention returning to the old house, Qin Yi and Qin Lei wanted to persuade her otherwise.
But after she finished speaking, neither of them objected.
Because what Zheng Shufen said made sense. She wasn't working now and was alone at home all day, which was indeed very boring.
In the upscale residential area, she had no friends. When Qin Yi and Qin Lei were not around, she had no one to talk to at home.
Although Zheng Chenggong's family also lived there, due to Zhang Guihua and Zheng Dapeng, Zheng Shufen rarely contacted their family.
Therefore, Qin Yi said, "Mom, if you want to go back, then go. I support you! Let me know how much money is needed for the renovation!"
"Mom, you don't need to worry about money anymore..."
Qin Lei couldn't help but glance at Qin Yi, and said with a giggle, "Brother isn't short of money, and neither am I! I work at Han Corporation, and Sister Xin pays me a high salary!"
"I know you two have money now, but no matter how much money you have, you still need to spend it wisely, don't be too extravagant!" Zheng Shufen warned them.
Seeing that they had no objections, Zheng Shufen felt a slight relief in her heart, and a fleeting look of ease flashed in her eyes.
Even the sharp-eyed Qin Yi didn't notice this scene.
The next day.
Zheng Shufen got up early, tidied herself up, and returned to her old home.
Qin Yi offered to take her, but she refused.
In response, Qin Yi and Qin Lei both assumed that Zheng Shufen was just too bored here and was eager to go back.
With Zheng Shufen back in the old house and Qin Lei going to work, Qin Yi was left alone at home.
After staying home idly for a while, Qin Yi thought of something and made a video call to Han Xin.
"Hello Qin Yi, what's up?"
On the video call, Han Xin was wearing a women's blazer, looking like a strong businesswoman, and answered while sitting in her office chair.
Seeing her, Qin Yi asked, "You're busy with work!"
"What else? My dad basically doesn't handle the group's affairs anymore, so I have to deal with it!"
"Xin Xin, since we started dating, you've never really had time to spend with me..." Qin Yi said expectantly, "How about we go on a trip?"
Han Xin paused her work momentarily and looked directly at the video, asking, "Go on a trip, where do you want to go?"
"Hmm... I haven't thought about it yet, but as long as you're with me, anywhere will do!"
Han Xin's face turned slightly red, but her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Then, Han Xin naturally did not refuse, saying, "Alright then, I'll finish the work at hand first. I'll come to find you after work, and we can discuss where to go in person!"
"No problem!"
After hanging up the video call, Qin Yi stayed home all day, waiting for Han Xin to come.
In fact, the reason Qin Yi suddenly wanted to ask Han Xin out for a trip, besides the fact that she had been dedicating most of her time to work since they started dating and they had never had a proper outing, was another very important reason: Qin Yi had decided to go into seclusion for a period of time after this trip.
Xiong Zhentian had brought him a message from the meeting of the Divine Gate, asking him to go to Hell Island on the fifteenth of August.
Now, the fifteenth of August was getting closer, but he knew almost nothing about Hell Island or the Divine Gate.
Therefore, he wanted to improve his strength through seclusion before going, so that he would have enough confidence to deal with any situation he might encounter!
Around five or six in the afternoon, Han Xin and Qin Lei returned from work together.
Without Zheng Shufen present, Han Xin felt less constrained than before.
In the evening, the three of them had dinner at home. Qin Yi and Han Xin discussed where to go for their trip, and Qin Lei, upon learning that they were going out, also helped brainstorm.
Han Xin suggested that Qin Lei join them, but Qin Lei flatly refused, saying she didn't want to be a third wheel.
Later, after more than half an hour of discussion, Qin Yi and Han Xin decided to go to Taiwan for a trip.
Taiwan is a treasure island, with spring-like weather all year round. The climate and scenery are very pleasant, and many people choose Taiwan for tourism.
Han Xin had visited once with Han Sanwan and had a very good impression of Taiwan. Qin Yi had only heard that Taiwan was suitable for tourism and entertainment but had never had the chance to go!
"Alright, we'll set off for Taiwan tomorrow afternoon!"
"Now that we've decided, I'll go home first. It's getting late!"
Han Xin stood up, picked up her bag, and made a move to leave.
Seeing this, Qin Yi suddenly stood up and grabbed her hand.
Han Xin: "What are you doing???"
Qin Yi held her hand and said with a meaningful smile, "Why go back? Stay here tonight! It's not like you haven't stayed here before!"
"Besides, my mom is back at the old house, so you won't feel uncomfortable staying here!"
Han Xin's face turned slightly red, but she did not refuse, nodding gently, which was considered an agreement.
Qin Yi was very excited and secretly thought, surely nothing unexpected will happen tonight?
Before, he had tried to get intimate with Han Xin and take their relationship a step further many times, but each time it had failed due to various reasons!
Then, as a precaution, Qin Yi asked again, "By the way, Xin Xin, your 'period' didn't come today, did it?"
Han Xin blushed, rolled her eyes at him, and said irritably, "Qin Yi, are you an idiot? Don't you have any common sense? Which girl's 'period' comes twice a month?"
"Hehe, I know that, of course. I was just confirming!" Qin Yi chuckled.
At this moment, Qin Yi's heart became even more excited.
With the timing, location, and people all in place, he would finally get his wish tonight!
