Chapter 406 New Year’s Gift

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Though Lin Su was born in the kind of famous family like the Lin Family, she was an unapproachable super-rich lady in others’ eyes. The friends or besties surrounding her all envied her very much because she had been enjoying affluence since childhood and never had she lacked anything. It seemed that Lin Su was quite happy. However, only Lin Su knew that she was not happy in the Lin Family. Except for her grandmother, most of the people in the Lin Family did not treat her well, especially her Senior Mom and her brother, who might have done so because of her mother.

Consequently, Lin Su enjoyed the greatest time in Xiamen, where she had been accompanying Qin Sheng to recover from his injury. During that period, she had been carefree. The life there had been quite simple and stress-free. She had not needed to think about those troublesome things. Nor did she need to see those who she did not want to meet.

The moment she chose Qin Sheng, she had made up her mind. However powerful the obstruction would be, never would she give in to anybody. That was because she would like to fight for a simple love relationship for herself. To achieve this goal, she would rather give up everything she had, which was what she was doing now.

She was waiting, waiting for Qin Sheng to pick her up. She believed that Qin Sheng would not forget her even if the final result she had been looking forward to might be the worst one.

It did not occur to Lin Yue that her sister would have thought so, which made her feel somewhat scared. She was afraid that Qin Sheng would be dead according to what his brother said. If so, what would her sister do? She wondered how charismatic this man was that he could even make her sister do so for his sake.

After Lin Yue came to senses, she clenched Lin Su’s hands tightly and said anxiously, “Sister, don’t scare me.”

Lin Su burst into laughter as she said, “I am joking. Did you buy it? How could I be willing to part with you, my silly sister? I have to see you get married. Moreover, I have a grandmother. She will be overwhelmingly sad if I did so. More importantly, Qin Sheng wouldn’t allow me to do so. Those who are alive should go on living toughly.”

Lin Yue let out a deep sigh and patted her chest as she said, “All right, all right. Sister, you scared me.”

As for which sentence among what Lin Su had said was true, Lin Yue had no idea. Probably only Lin Su knew it. At least she would choose to keep waiting for Qin Sheng now.

Lin Yue said mysteriously all of a sudden, “I almost forgot my mission here. Sister, guess what I brought for you?”

Lin Su frowned slightly and stared at Lin Yue curiously as she said, “What? Could it be my New Year’s gift?”

Lin Yue took out a cell phone, handed it to Lin Su, and said, “Well, this is my New Year’s gift to you. I took a great risk to steal it from Eldest Uncle.”

What Lin Yue had brought Lin Su turned out to be exactly her cell phone, which had been confiscated. Lin Su was frightened. She frowned and said, “Lin Yue, where did you get it? If your eldest uncle finds out about it, you will be in a miserable situation.”

Lin Yue said complacently, “Sister, as for how I found it, you don’t need to worry about that. Moreover, never will Eldest Uncle find out. That’s because I replaced it with another one. As your sister, am I smart?” Knowing that Qin Sheng could not get in touch with her sister since her sister’s cell phone had been taken away, she had prepared another phone in advance. Fortunately, she knew that her sister had chosen a default picture from the phone’s album as the homepage and had even set the password randomly. After all, they did not know what her sister’s original phone password was. Over dinner last night, since her brother had not come back home from drinking outside and her eldest uncle needed to entertain the guests at home, and of course, the First Lady needed to accompany him. Consequently, she had sneaked into her eldest uncle’s study. Originally, she had not been hopeful. However, she had found Lin Su’s cell phone in a drawer of the table in the study.

Lin Su, who finally got her phone back, said excitedly, “Lin Yue, you are so smart. I love you so much.”

Following that, Lin Yue took the charger out and handed it over to Lin Su as she said, “Hehe, here is the charger. However, don’t get caught, sister. Otherwise, we will both be finished.”

Lin Su said happily, “I know. Am I that stupid?”

Lin Yue chuckled and said, “Turn the phone on quickly and check whether brother-in-law has contacted you or not. He must feel anxious about you since you have been unable to be reached for such a long time.”

Lin Su felt somewhat frightened, fearing that there was no news related to Qin Sheng at all, because in that case, the worst possibility would be that Qin Sheng was dead. After all, such a long time had passed, so Qin Sheng should have contacted her and told her whether he was safe or not. Moreover, Qin Sheng couldn’t give her up.

Lin Su switched the phone on, waited for it to turn on, and saw it vibrating because of a series of incoming texts. She did not have time to open her WeChat account. Instead, she directly tapped the texts and looked for a text possibly sent by Qin Sheng.

As Lin Su scrolled down, she became more nervous, fearing that there was no news from Qin Sheng at all. However, God did not disappoint her. In the end, she found a text from Qin Sheng. That was because she had seen the word “Wife” in the text from a strange mobile number. Only Qin Sheng could call her his wife. Consequently, Lin Su could be almost sure that the text was from Qin Sheng. She clicked the text open anxiously and read it, which Qin Sheng had sent on New Year’s Eve.

The text’s contents were: Honey, Happy New Year! I am totally fine. After the New Year’s Holiday is over, I will pick you up.

After Lin Su saw this text, she did not have to doubt its authenticity. At this moment, Lin Su thought that it was worthwhile for her to keep waiting for Qin Sheng. Even if she needed to endure many hardships and wrongdoings, she would not be afraid. That was because Qin Sheng was still alive, who did not leave their promise behind. Staring at the screen of the phone, she smiled foolishly. However, her eyes became vague gradually. In the end, the phone screen was wet with her tears.

Lin Yue guessed that her sister must have seen Qin Sheng’s text. However, as for whether the news was good or bad, she had no idea. Feeling somewhat concerned, she lowered her head hurriedly and checked the text’s contents. After she read through the text, she held her sister in her arms and said, “Sister, you have chosen a Mr. Right. Brother-in-law does not disappoint you.”

Lin Su’s eyes were read. She smiled and nodded.

Lin Yue reminded her in a hurry and said, “Sister, call brother-in-law in a hurry. He must have not been able to reach you. That is the reason why he texted you instead.” She was afraid that her sister was so excited that she would forget these things.

Lin Su wiped her tears away and dialed the strange number immediately. However, God was in her way this time again. That was because, at this moment, Qin Sheng was on a plane to Shanghai. As expected, his cell phone had been turned off.

As Lin Su heard the warning tone from over the phone, she, who had been in a good mood at first, became somewhat disappointed in an instant. Since Qin Sheng had sent her this text a few days ago, how could he turn his mobile off during the New Year’s Holiday?

Lin Yue consoled her smilingly and said, “Sister, don’t worry. His phone is probably powered off. Or he probably is still sleeping. I will write the number down and call it for a few more times later on.” Though Lin Yue said so, she was not confident at all. However, she could do nothing else currently.

Lin Su shook her head and smiled bitterly as she said, “I am not that fragile yet.”

Lin Su was hesitant for a while. In the end, she texted Qin Sheng: Happy New Year! I am fine too. I will wait for you.

As Qin Sheng was on the plane to Shanghai, of course, he had not received the text yet. However, he did dream about Lin Su. In his dream, Lin Su gave birth to a couple of children for him. As she was holding her daughter and enjoying the sunshine in the courtyard of a siheyuan, he was playing with his son by her side. They lived a relaxing life.

When Qin Sheng opened his eyes, the plane began to descend. There were 20 minutes to go before they landed in Shanghai Pudong Airport. Nao Nao, who tilted her head, was staring at Qin Sheng attentively.

The little girl blinked her big eyes as she asked, “Uncle, why did you smile while sleeping?”

Qin Sheng said, “That was because I dreamed about someone I like. Do you have someone you like, Nao Nao?”

Nao Nao counted on her fingers and said quite solemnly, “Yes, I do. They are the grandfather, grandmother, dad, mom, and brother… I like so many people.”

Qin Sheng stroked Nao Nao’s hair and smiled as he said, “Nao Nao is so well-behaved. After we arrive in Shanghai, I will take you to Disney Park, OK?”

As Nao Nao heard “Disney Park”, she became instantly happy and said, “Really? Uncle, I like you too.”

What she said made Qin Sheng burst into laughter. Kids were so interesting. In the future, if Lin Su agreed with him, they would have at least three or four kids if they could not give birth to eight or 10. After all, regardless of how many kids they would have, the Qin Family could afford to feed them. Upon thinking of that, Qin Sheng did not know whether he should laugh or cry. He feared that if Lin Su knew his thought, she would beat him and say, “Don’t you know it is so laborious for women to give birth?”

After the plane landed at Pudong International Airport, Qin Sheng pushed the luggage, held Nao Nao in his arms, and walked out with the others. His sister-in-law mumbled as she said, “Qin Sheng, don’t spoil her too much. Put her down and let her walk on her own.”

Qin Sheng replied half-playfully, “Sister-in-law, it is OK. Girls are born to be spoiled.” His words made everyone burst into laughter. They could tell that Qin Sheng liked kids so much since he liked Nao Nao a lot. He probably would make Nao Nao his princess in the next few days.

Qin Ran had gotten everything ready in advance, so she did not ask her Small Aunt to pick them up. They did not need to trouble them with such a petty thing. After all, everybody was quite occupied during the New Year’s Holiday.

It just so happened that a Buick BPV had seats for everybody. Two bodyguards sat in the rear of the SUV with the luggage. At this moment, Qin Sheng did not have to hold Nao Nao in his arms anymore. He handed her over to his sister-in-law.

After they set off, Zhu Qingyuan asked randomly, “Qin Sheng, have you ever been to Shanghai before?”

Qin Sheng took out his cell phone and intended to turn it on. After Qin Ran heard her cousin’s words, she replied smilingly, “Cousin, you sure don’t know that Qin Sheng studied at college in Shanghai.”

Zhu Qingyuan said surprisedly, “Oh, I didn’t know. Which college?”

Qin Ran smiled gently and said, “Fudan.”

Zhu Qingyuan said with great interest, “Oh. It turns out that Qin Sheng pursued his college degree at Fudan University. In this case, the members of our family are bonded to Fudan University by destiny.” He said so because his Small Aunt was teaching at Fudan University.

Zhu Qingyuan stared at Qin Sheng and asked, “Qin Sheng, what was your major at college?”

Qin Sheng stared at his phone and did not say anything at all.

Zhu Qingyuan asked again, “Qin Sheng?”

Qin Sheng’s reaction was still the same.

Why?

That was because Qin Sheng had received the text from Lin Su, which was the best New Year’s gift for him…
