Chapter 427 You didn't know she was getting married?
Qi Shuo's parents are kind-hearted people. After learning about Tang Yiping's ordeal, they felt sorry for her and fully understood Qi Shuo's decision.

The couple said they could provide financial support to Tang Yiping so that she could live independently after leaving her uncle's house.

As for bringing Tang Yiping to live with them, Qi's parents did not agree.

Tang Yiping is a minor. Although she has no parents, her uncle is her current guardian. It is clearly inappropriate to bring Tang Yiping to live in the house without the guardian's permission.

Qi Shuo also understands his parents' arrangements.

After considering it, he decided to move out of the Qi family home and rent a house near the school with Tang Yiping.

Hearing him say that, Qi's parents were both shocked.

After considering it, Qi's mother decided to ask directly, "A-Shuo, do you like Xiao Tang?"

Qi Shuo readily admitted, "Yes, I like Tang Yiping."

Qi's parents were not the kind of parents with feudalistic ideas, and they did not interfere with their son's relationships.

“Your mother and I have been through this, so we understand that you're at the age where you're just starting to experience romantic feelings,” Mr. Qi said with emotion. “But you're at this crucial time in your senior year of high school, and your mother and I worry that you might sometimes let your desires control you and do things that affect your studies…”

Qi's father spoke subtly, but Qi Shuo understood.

He blushed and assured his parents that he moved out simply to help Tang Yiping.

"I haven't confessed my feelings to her yet," Qi Shuo explained. "She still doesn't know that I like her."

"My son is still secretly in love?" Mother Qi chuckled, and at the same time felt relieved.

The couple were very open-minded. After discussing it, they agreed to let Qi Shuo rent a house outside and live with Tang Yiping.

The next day, they took Qi Shuo to look at houses near the school and signed a one-year contract.

Qi Shuo let Tang Yiping move in first, while he moved into the two-bedroom apartment after the start of the semester.

He would sometimes go home on weekends, and sometimes he would bring Tang Yiping with him.

Tang Yiping was very diligent, always helping with housework whenever she visited the Qi family. Qi's mother liked her very much and would even buy her clothes. Outsiders joked that Qi's mother, in her middle age, had gained another daughter.

Qi's mother was delighted with this.

What made the couple happiest was that Qi Shuo and Tang Yiping achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination and both applied to the same university.

Qi Shuo confessed his feelings to Tang Yiping when the college entrance examination results came out.

"Yiping... Actually, I've liked you since I was in the third year of junior high school."

Tang Yiping responded to his confession and gave him the first passionate kiss of her life.

Tang Yiping's tuition and living expenses for four years of university were all covered by the Qi family.

Qi's parents treated her almost like a daughter.

After graduating from university, Qi Shuo proposed to Tang Yiping.

Qi's parents also began to choose a wedding house for the two, only to learn that Qi Shuo's marriage proposal had failed.

Qi's mother hurriedly called her son and asked, "Isn't Yiping going to marry you?"

Qi Shuo told her, "Yiping said she just graduated and doesn't want to get married so soon. She wants to work hard for a few years and earn more money to repay her parents."

"This child," Qi's mother said, feeling both relieved and helpless. "We never expected her to repay us for what we did. We just wanted the two of you to be well."

Two more years passed, and Tang Yiping was doing very well at the company.

Qi Shuo proposed to her again, but Tang Yiping refused, saying that she was in the prime of her career and that marriage would affect her superiors' impression of her.

This time, Qi's mother approached Tang Yiping and told her that if she didn't want to get married too quickly, they could get engaged first and settle the marriage arrangements. For some reason, Qi's mother, being a woman herself, felt that Tang Yiping's refusal had other reasons.

Tang Yiping said many touching and heartwarming things to Qi's mother, and the matter passed by just like that.

After some time, Tang Yiping told Qi Shuo that she needed to go to another city due to a job transfer.

Qi Shuo naturally supported her career. He thought the job transfer would only last three to five months, but he didn't know that Tang Yiping had no intention of coming back.

One evening, Qi's mother couldn't get through to Tang Yiping on the phone, so she called Qi Shuo and said worriedly, "Shuo, I've been calling Yiping these past few days, but she hasn't answered. Could something have happened to her?"

"She must be busy with work," Qi Shuo comforted her. "Last night she told me that she was so busy with work that she was dizzy and didn't even have time to eat or drink."

"How can that be?" Mother Qi objected. "How can you not eat or drink for work? What if you ruin your health?"

Qi Shuo: "I will try to persuade her."

"No." The more Qi's mother thought about it, the more worried she became. Over the years, she had come to regard Tang Yiping as her own daughter. "Take a leave of absence and let's go see Yiping together."

Qi Shuo hadn't seen his girlfriend for several months, so he agreed, "Okay."

The next day, Qi Shuo took his mother on a journey of a thousand kilometers to the city where Tang Yiping lived.

They found Tang Yiping's rented apartment, but when Qi Shuo opened the door, he discovered that the lock had been changed and the key could not be inserted into the lock.

The residents inside heard the noise and opened the door. "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is Tang Yiping here?"

"Tang Yiping? You must have the wrong person."

Qi Shuo and his mother had no choice but to go to the apartment manager, only to find out that Tang Yiping had already moved out.

"She moved away?" Mother Qi frowned. "A-Shuo, didn't you tell me that Yi-Ping moved away?"

Qi Shuo pursed his lips, his face grim, and silently shook his head.

The apartment manager, who had seen Qi Shuo come to see Tang Yiping, casually asked, "Aren't you her brother? Didn't you know she's getting married?"

Qi Shuo suddenly looked up and stared at the other person.

The apartment manager met his gaze and was startled: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Did she say I was her brother?" Qi Shuo asked in a low voice, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.

The apartment manager nodded: "Yes."

"You just said Yiping is getting married?" Qi's mother's face turned pale, and she trembled uncontrollably. "How...how did you know?"

The apartment manager pointed to the phone, "She posted it on her WeChat Moments! I saw it last night or the night before last."

Qi's mother quickly picked up her phone and opened Tang Yiping's WeChat Moments, which was filled with posts about work.

She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said with a smile, "You must have seen wrong. We might not be talking about the same person."

"Really? That can't be right." The apartment manager was skeptical and clicked on Tang Yiping's profile. "Is this the person you're looking for?"

Qi's mother looked at his phone screen, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

She snatched the phone from the other person, opened her WeChat Moments, and sure enough, saw that Tang Yiping had posted a set of wedding photos the night before last.

Qi's mother's hand trembled as she held her phone. Before she could even open the set of wedding photos, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Qi Shuo immediately took his mother to the hospital, where she spent a difficult night in the ward. The biting cold enveloped him, and his heart was ice-cold.
