When Lu Jingyun and Qiao Yi returned home, Ruan Xiaoxiao was actually not there.
But Qiao Yi was not surprised by this, laughing had always been lively, she could not possibly stay at home obediently. Although she said she was here to treat lovelorn, it would be better to say that she was looking for a man somewhere else.
Qiao Yi didn't understand it in the past, but after she understood it, she had gotten used to it.
When Lu Jingyun went to shower, she found the time to call Xiaoxiao.
Listening to the ruckus on the other end of the phone, he couldn't help but wonder where it was. After instructing her a few times, he told her to come back early and hung up.
That night, Qiao Yi sat on the bedside and wiped her hair with a towel. When Qiao Yi thought about what had happened today, it was still hard for him to calm down.
"Hubby, that Mo fellow is really not a good person. Coming to River City to play with women, he still looks down on people. This kind of person is really infuriating."
Lu Jingyun put down the towel, used his fingers to comb through her long hair a few times, and then finally picked her up and put her on his lap.
"Don't be angry, I didn't care about what he said."
Qiao Yi pouted, and did not say any more unpleasant words. When she thought of how he had said that she was from the capital, she did not understand.
"You grew up in the capital? What fun and interesting things do the capital have to tell me? "Even though it's the capital, I haven't been there yet."
Lu Jingyun supported her back with one hand, and leaned lazily against the headboard with the other, "I'll take you to see it in the future."In addition to the famous sights that everyone knows about, I want to take you to some good places that no one else knows about."
"Mm, okay. Then what other family do you have in the capital? "
Lu Jingyun's eyes flashed, "There are more clansmen in our family, so I can't say for now."You'll know when we get there."
"Wow — a lot of people?" Qiao Yi frowned as he thought, then laughed: "My family is truly simple. However, as I told you, I was adopted by them, so I'm not really that close."
"I know, you will have me in the future."
The abandoned orphan girl was adopted by the Qiao Family at the age of six, her life was plain but not very happy. At the age of thirteen, the Qiao Family couple had their own son, and her happiness was beyond reach. After that, she went to high school and stayed outside. After that, she almost never returned to the Qiao family. The living expenses and tuition fees were basically earned from her hard work and thrifty studies.
After all, she was the most contented and happy person who had never complained to anyone about her hardships. Even a small matter would make her happy for a long time. f𝓇𝒆𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝒏oѵ𝙚𝗹 - 🅽🅽novel
"Mm, you are here."
Qiao Yi's heart was warm as she leaned into his embrace with a warm smile.
She was very happy, she would never be happier than when she had Lu Jingyun's home.
"I'll take you to my house tomorrow."
At the very least, the couple had raised her, and even if they didn't have any feelings for her, they should have seen her husband.
And she would slowly open all her thoughts to him.
Qiao Yi's hometown was a small town under the River City, a relatively prosperous county city, so it was extremely convenient to take a bus back.
They got up early in the morning, bought presents, and rode to the county town. It was only ten o'clock. Qiao Yi took Lu Jingyun on the bus to his own district, and in twenty minutes they arrived.
Qiao Yi's adoptive parents were all young civil servants, their mother had long retired and brought back their pension to a small supermarket to make money, their adoptive father was still in office. The two of them carried their bags into the residential area and went upstairs.
The door was opened by Qiao Yi's foster father, Qiao Qiao, and she welcomed them in enthusiastically.
"Dad, this is my husband, Lu Jingyun. Jingyun, this is our father."
"Father, " When Lu Jingyun called for Qiao Gang, Uncle Qiao was very happy. He sized up his son-in-law and was a little surprised that Qiao Yi had good eyes when picking his son-in-law.
He then asked them to sit down, "Dad, where are my mom and Little Jun?"
"You know your mother! You cannot leave the supermarket without people, Little Jun that brat went out to play on weekends, don't bother about them. Today, the three of us are going to eat at a restaurant. Little Lu and I will have a good drink together."
Qiao Yi threw an apologetic glance at Lu Jingyun, who shook his head and laughed.
Uncle Qiao started to chat with Lu Jingyun, asking about his age, job, and family.
Lu Jingyun answered all of these questions one by one. Uncle Qiao also asked about Qiao Yi's situation. When it was noon, they followed him out to eat lunch.
The conversation during the meal was quite harmonious. Uncle Qiao seemed to be very happy as she pulled Lu Jingyun to drink quite a bit. After returning home, Uncle Qiao couldn't help but fall asleep.
Qiao Yi rested Lu Jingyun on the sofa as the two of them spoke softly.
"They are people like that, don't mind them. In the future, we won't be coming back very often, so they won't welcome us much anyway."
Qiao Yi's tone was very calm, probably because he was used to being treated like this.
But, Lu Jingyun's heart ached.
"Let's go home later."
He knew that to Qiao Yi, this place could not be considered as home. Only the two of them in the small nest within the River City could be considered to be the true home.
