Qin Si Yue felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey. She glanced at the durian in the box and said softly,
"How about we each have a bite."
"Okay." Han Hao Ming scooped another piece and put it into her mouth, his face beaming with happiness.
So this was the feeling of being in love, something he was experiencing for the very first time in his life.
After finishing, Qin Si Yue tidied up the box and said, "Hao Ming, I just asked the attending doctor, and he said you can be discharged as early as Friday."
"Really? That's great. Then let's set the date to visit your home for Saturday, what do you think?"
Han Hao Ming had been feeling a bit guilty and really didn't want to keep the Qin family waiting any longer.
Qin Si Yue's lips curved into a smile, "No problem. Grandma and my dad have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
I'll buy the gifts in advance, and I'll drive to pick you up then."
"That won't do. I'll arrange for Zou He to help me buy the gifts. You just need to tell me their preferences," Han Hao Ming said to her with a serious expression.
When going to his girlfriend's house, he had to buy the gifts himself, otherwise, it would show a lack of sincerity.

In the study on the third floor of Xinglanwan, Yin Xi held a white Go stone between her fingers. After pondering for a long time, she still couldn't decide her next move.
Looking at the man opposite her, she couldn't help but sigh and put down her hand, saying,
"You win this game."
Qin Si Ye smiled and said, "Best of three, and you still won me today."
"You weren't focused in the middle game, so it doesn't count. We each won one game, so it's a draw," Yin Xi replied nonchalantly.
"Not being focused is my business. Winning is winning," Qin Si Ye disagreed.
In a real match, the referee wouldn't consider your mood or concentration; everything would be decided by the board.
Winning was winning, and losing was losing, with nothing else mixed in.
Yin Xi raised her eyebrows, "Do you really want me to win that badly?"
"Of course. Watching you win is even happier than winning myself," Qin Si Ye looked at her without blinking and continued,
"Actually, our chess skills are evenly matched. If I'm not careful, I might lose.
But if I don't concentrate too much, you'll see through it. So, it's difficult to find that balance."
What did he mean by that? Was he saying he had been letting her win all along?
"Si Ye, that mindset of yours is wrong. I don't want you to go easy on me. I want to win by my own skill," Yin Xi glanced at him and stood up.
"Alright, alright. In the future, I will definitely play with all my focus and never hold back," Qin Si Ye said with a placating smile, "Where are you going?"
Yin Xi looked down at her watch and replied, "To pick up the children."
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye stood up and took her hand, "I have nothing to do at home, I'll accompany you."
Just then, his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Zhao Ze.
Qin Si Ye's expression darkened. He looked at it for a few seconds before sliding to answer the call.
"What is it?"
Zhao Ze's heart sank at the other end of the phone. Had he called at the wrong time again?
But he had to report this matter to the president.
He braced himself and replied, "President, the shares from Mrs. Su have been calculated, and the money has been transferred to her account."
"Good," Qin Si Ye replied briefly.
Zhao Ze paused for a second and then added, "I've also made arrangements in Country B. It's estimated that even if she takes this money there, it will be wasted."
At this moment, Yin Xi pointed to her watch and frowned, as if saying that time was tight and she couldn't wait any longer.
Qin Si Ye glanced at her, took her hand, and walked directly outside.
As he walked, he said into the phone, "I know. In the future, when I'm home, don't call me unless it's a major issue."
Zhao Ze stared blankly after the call ended, blinking foolishly.
Wasn't this a major issue? The company had just transferred billions in assets.
Could it be that in the president's eyes, these were just dirt, and only Miss Yin was the treasure in his heart?
Well, he had to admit that Miss Yin was indeed outstanding, and she had given him three lovely and intelligent children.
They would all become the future heirs of Zhuo Sheng, which was indeed much more important than those hundreds of millions in assets.
