Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

After realizing what had happened, Kong Qingci felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

Xia An shook her head. "It's alright, let's go over first and ask them what they think."

Luo Yunshu and the other person nodded.

The three of them went to the neighboring courtyard, where Ye Qingxuan and Ye Wan'er were cooking.

Li Yuxue also happened to come in from outside the courtyard. Xia An smiled and asked:

"Sister Yuxue, how is she?"

Li Yuxue shook her head.

"The rain today delayed the process a bit, and it should be all done tomorrow."

"That's pretty fast too," Xia An said with a slight smile.

"Come sit down, I have something to tell you."

"What's up?"

Li Yuxue sat down, and everyone else looked over.

Xia An recounted what had just happened and also relayed Kong Qingci's statement.

I'd like to hear your opinions.

Ye Qingxuan walked over with the dishes, saying helplessly, "What opinions can we possibly have?"

"This is probably as Qingci said, it's really hard to refuse."

Jiang Mengmeng frowned. "But we don't know her at all. If we let her come over, it's hard to say what we'll say based on what's on the table."

"That's fine."

Shen Nianchu shook her head, her voice cool and clear, "These were all sent by Li Jia, everyone knows that, so it's not a big problem."

"The real problem is..."

She glanced at Kong Qingci, hesitated, and seemed to find it difficult to speak openly.

Kong Qingci noticed her gaze and felt a little uncomfortable.

She seemed to have become an outsider in this courtyard.

Fortunately, everyone understood what Shen Nianchu meant after she said that.

Ye Qingxuan shook her head and said, "Agree, it's just a matter of two meals anyway."

"Qingci won't say anything, we just need to be a little careful."

Everyone nodded, but a hint of helplessness lingered in their eyes.

That sounds nice, but given Xia An's ability to attract attention, Xie Lingyun will probably be close to him soon too.

However, it wouldn't be right for them to proactively reveal to Xie Lingyun that Xia An was not a good man.

After all, they didn't know Xie Lingyun.

By the time you understand, it might be too late.

They were all experienced people, and they had a strange conviction about this.

The women shook their heads inwardly, unwilling to think about it further.

"In that case, let's agree to her request. Let's eat first."

Xia An settled the matter.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After dinner,

Xia An stood up and said, "Those of you who need to rest should go to rest early. I'll go over first."

Kong Qingci stood up, but seeing that Luo Yunshu hadn't followed, she couldn't help but turn to look at her.

Luo Yunshu waved her hand and said, "Qingci, I'm a little full, you go ahead."

Kong Qingci nodded and followed Xia An.

Luo Yunshu got up and closed the door, looking slightly helpless, and said:

"What do you want to say?"

What else can I say?

Li Yuxue said nonchalantly, "We can't stop it, we can only rely on our own self-discipline as men."

An Lan shrugged. "Let's not expect that."

"If we men were more self-disciplined, we wouldn't have gathered eight of us here."

"No, the Yang family's family counts too."

"Kong Qingci and Chen Zhiyi also have their own ideas, but I can't bear to go into details."

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed softly, their faces showing a hint of helplessness.

Li Yuxue shook her head and said, "We should have known his character before we met him."

"Since you know this, and still want to be with him, then don't say these things."

"At this juncture, let's try to get him to behave a little."

"If there are too many people, I'm a little worried about his health..."

……

In the clinic,

Xia An sat in the consultation room, the hushed conversation from the neighboring courtyard reaching her ears.

He shook his head and smiled to himself, and couldn't help but wonder if he really wanted too much.

Initially, his idea was only for Ye Qingxuan and the other three.

Nine have now been identified.

And he even agreed to one, intentionally flirting with the one in front of him.

Indeed, human nature is extremely greedy!

Kong Qingci struggled slightly with his conscience, then casually closed the door and lowered the latch.

She walked over and sat down next to Xia An, took a deep breath, and said:

"Xia... Xia An, let's talk."

"Uh~"

Xia An's heart skipped a beat. Why was it another talk? Why were they talking so much today?

He looked up at Kong Qingci, "Qingci, what do you want to talk about?"

Kong Qingci lowered her head and touched the watch on her wrist, her voice soft and low:

"I feel I can't afford this watch."

Xia An raised an eyebrow, shook her head and smiled, "Then I won't return it. Consider it a gift from me. Don't overthink it."

Kong Qingci shook her head, "I still have to repay it, but I plan to spend the rest of my life doing so."

As she spoke, she looked up at Xia An, her gaze intense, and said:

"What did you say?"

"The rest of my life?" Xia An's heart skipped a beat. Meeting her gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Didn't I already know how she felt? But why do I feel so uneasy?

"Yes, for the rest of my life!"

Kong Qingci said softly, looking at Xia An with a firm yet apprehensive expression.

"Are you willing to give me this opportunity?"

Xia An gently raised her hand, wanting to touch the stunning face before her, but she refrained.

He sighed. "Qingci is so smart, she must have figured something out by now, right?"

"In this situation, even if I dare to make you a promise, would you dare to believe it?"

"Why can't you believe it?" Kong Qingci's lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile appearing on her usually cold face.

"So many people like Yun Shu dare to believe it, do you think I wouldn't?"

Xia An thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"

He was able to behave normally to a large extent, but Ye Qingxuan and others could not.

It's not surprising that Kong Qingci could discover the relationships between others and him after spending so much time together.

Kong Qingci took a deep breath, grasped his hand, and placed it against her chest.

Her face flushed. "You can listen to its voice, listen to my feelings," she said.

"I believe in this promise, and I will firmly believe in it. Can you give it to me?"

Her heart was pounding, but she looked intently at Xia An, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She had been certain of her feelings for many days and had thought about it for a long time.

Such an outstanding man, so captivating, she really didn't want to miss out.

As for the others

If everyone else is willing to share, why can't she?

If Yun Shu, that little girl, doesn't mind, why should she, a widow, care?

If everyone else can make up their minds to be with him in such a short time, why can't she?

That's what Kong Qingci thought, and that's what he did.

Of course, Xie Lingyun's arrival and Shen Nianchu's gaze also provoked her.

If they hesitate any longer and Xia An backs down, they won't even get a taste of the soup.

The main thing is, she doesn't want to be an outsider!

Looking at the determined woman in front of him, Xia An felt a surge of emotion.
