Xiao Li intended to return to S City. But if she were to return to S City, what about Qin Xiao?
Speaking of which, she didn't seem to know where Qin Xiao worked.
In her previous life, when Xiao Zhengnan introduced Qin Xiao to Xiao Li, he mentioned that Qin Xiao was a university professor but did not say which university he was at.
Later on, when she was in trouble, Qin Xiao took care of her in C City. Xiao Li knew that the Qin family was not an ordinary family. Then what exactly is Qin Xiao's profession?
Xiao Li thought about it and said hesitantly, "Qin Xiao, I heard from Dad that you're a university professor. Which university are you from?"
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Medical University in S City."
Xiao Li said in surprise, "How is that possible? I've never seen you at school!"
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "That's because I previously taught at the Medical University in B City. I was transferred to your school from B City last month.
As I haven't been to S City recently, I haven't signed the employment contract yet. I'll sign it when I go over…"
Xiao Li said in surprise, "So… when I return to S City, you'll be going there too."
Qin Xiao nodded…
Xiao Li said, "Then which subject are you teaching? Will I have to attend your class then?
Maybe not. I'm going for an internship."
Xiao Li was a medical student for five years. Normally, she would not have to do an internship so early, but she was studying clinical medicine, so she had to go out during the first semester of her senior year. She had to intern in a hospital for two years.
Speaking of internship, Xiao Li thought of something. "Qin Xiao, can you not publicize our relationship in school?"
Qin Xiao's eyes darkened. "Are you afraid of others knowing about our relationship?"
His tone was calm, but Xiao Li could sense the displeasure in it…
Xiao Li waved her hand. "No… I'm not afraid…
I was thinking that I probably won't be in school for long before I leave for my internship.
I don't want anyone to know because I don't want anyone to take special care of me because of you. I hope that in my two years of internship, I'll be able to focus on my training and learn more real-world skills."
Qin Xiao smiled when he heard that. "Does this mean that you want me to be your underground husband for two years…
That's a long time!
I'll have to suffer for so long. Shouldn't you be giving me a treat?"
Xiao Li choked. Aggrieved…?
Is that very grievous?
It seems…
Indeed…
A little…
It was as if Qin Xiao couldn't do it …
"Well, why don't we go public!
Maybe not… we don't have to deliberately make it public. If anyone finds out, we won't hide it and will just be open about it.
How does that sound to you?"
Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He actually didn't disagree just now and only wanted to tease her. But he was surprised he had an unexpected gain.
Since there was an unexpected gain, he would take it…
Qin Xiao smiled. "Then it's settled. I won't deliberately say it, but I won't hide it either."
"Well, the first thing I'll do when I get back to school is to wait for my wife after school."
Xiao Li nodded. "But what major are you teaching?"
Qin Xiao said calmly, "Medical technology."
Xiao Li said, "You studied medicine and you were my mother's student…
So, you graduated from C City Medical University, right?"
Qin Xiao nodded…
Xiao Li took a deep breath. "The Medical University of C City. Oh my god! You're so powerful!
I also wanted to get into C City's Medical University back then. Unfortunately, my score fell short …."
The two of them chatted until Xiao Li was sleepy. Then they decided to rest.
When she slept, Xiao Li habitually lay in Qin Xiao's arms and fell asleep. This was a habit she had developed over the past month.
It was just that this habit was a little torturous for Qin Xiao. He had the woman he loved in his arms every day, but he could only hug the blanket and sleep…
This feeling…
The next day, Xiao Li returned to the Xiao family residence, paid Master Zhang's wages, and let him go.
After Xiao Zhengnan left, there was no need for this dedicated chauffeur anymore.
Auntie Xu and Uncle Geng were not dismissed by Xiao Li. Although she would be going to S City later, there had to be someone taking care of the house!
After settling the affairs at home, Xiao Li took another look at the Xiao family's villa before leaving.
After leaving her family residence, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao returned home.
As soon as they returned home, Qin Xiao saw that there were two people in the living room and he called out, "Dad, Mom… you're back."
Xiao Li stood there in surprise…
When Mother Qin saw the two of them, she quickly stood up and pulled Xiao Li's hand to sit beside her…
"Little Li! I'm sorry! Xiao'er's father and I came back late and didn't even attend your father's funeral…"
Mother Qin lowered her head remorsefully…
Previously, when Qin Xiao and Xiao Li got married, Mr. and Mrs. Qin had just gone overseas for a tour. They could not be reached and so the two of them were absent from the wedding.
Later on, they got in touch and found out that their son was married. In the interest of giving the young people some space, they continued with their overseas trip and didn't come back…
As they had already set a date to return, they turned off their phones when they were overseas. They did not expect to miss such big news again.
Last night, after they turned on their phone and saw Qin Xiao's message, they flew back overnight, but it was too late.
Xiao Li quickly shook her head. "Mom, I'm not blaming you!
I was the one who didn't tell you about my dad's health."
Xiao Li really didn't blame Mr. and Mrs. Qin.
She had indeed forgotten to tell them about her father's health before.
As for why she had forgotten, that was because it had yet to sink in that she had married into the Qin family.
She was just used to having Qin Xiao by her side and forgot about the other members of the Qin family.
As for why Qin Xiao didn't inform Mr. and Mrs. Qin, it was because he wanted Xiao Li to stay by the side of Xiao Zhengnan.
He didn't want his parents to come back to disturb Xiao Li and Xiao Zhengnan. This was why he had stopped Mr. and Mrs. Qin from coming back.
For the past month, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao had been staying at the Xiao family villa. If Mr. and Mrs. Qin had already returned, it would probably not be so easy for Xiao Li to stay with the Xiao family as she wished.
Although Mrs. Qin would not say anything, Xiao Li would naturally have more concerns about her actions with her in-laws around.
However, Qin Xiao did not expect that Mr. and Mrs. Qin would not be able to make it to the funeral. He did not expect Xiao Zhengnan to die so suddenly that he was not in time to inform Mr. and Mrs. Qin.
Even Qin Xiao's eldest brother, Qin Tan, did not attend the funeral this time because Qin Tan happened to be on a business trip to M Country.
As a result, no in-laws attended Xiao Zhengnan's funeral. This made Qin Xiao feel quite guilty towards Xiao Li.
