Morning.
"You're up," said Tantai Yue gently to Qin Xuan as he came downstairs, having just finished preparing breakfast.
Qin Xuan, having meditated all night, was still shirtless. Tantai Yue's face flushed upon seeing his muscular physique, even though she saw it daily.
"Qin Xuan, you're always shirtless. Even though we're at home, please be mindful of your image. What if guests arrive..." Tantai Yue shyly lowered her head, secretly glancing at Qin Xuan's abs with the corner of her eye.
Seeing her reaction, Qin Xuan smiled slightly and immediately pulled her into a bear hug.
"What's there to worry about? Your parents are back home. It's just us two anyway. You're my wife, so it's fine if you look. It's not like anyone else is getting any benefit."
Tantai Yue was overcome with shyness at his words. She playfully punched his chest a few times with her fist.
"You're getting more and more inappropriate."
With that, she stood on tiptoe and quickly pecked him on the lips.
"Linlin has a day off today. Don't forget to pick her up. I'm not working overtime today either, so let's go out to eat as a family."
Her face burning, she quickly turned and grabbed her bag, then left.
Watching Tantai Yue's retreating figure, Qin Xuan touched his still warm lips, a trace of a happy smile on his face.
In the morning, Qin Xuan tidied up Qin Lin's room and then headed to her school.
The high school Qin Xuan attended was a full-time boarding school, so it only had holidays on weekends.
Qin Xuan had previously asked Qin Lin to come home every weekend, but Qin Lin said she was almost eighteen and only in her first year of high school. She wanted to study more on weekends to catch up on her studies, so she hadn't come home on weekends.
It wasn't until the summer vacation started today that Qin Lin called Tantai Yue.
Qin Xuan drove out the red Ferrari. He had received this car from Wang Youhai a few months ago, and Tantai Yue had been driving it since then.
However, Tantai Yue had left the car at home today and took a taxi to the company herself.
Initially, Qin Xuan didn't want to drive the car; it was too conspicuous and flashy.
But as Tantai Yue put it, Jiangbei Second High School had another name: a prestigious school. It was attended by the children of wealthy families, so it wouldn't be appropriate to go by taxi, and it would make Linlin feel inferior to others at school.
Two hours later, Qin Xuan arrived at the entrance of Jiangbei Second High School in the Ferrari.
At a glance, he was amazed. Twelve Series BMWs! Mercedes-Benz M-Class, and so on. The cheapest cars cost hundreds of thousands!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Qin Xuan clicked his tongue.
"No wonder Tantai said this was a prestigious school."
As soon as Qin Xuan's car appeared, it instantly drew everyone's attention.
"Holy crap! A Ferrari!"
"Damn! It's that Ferrari—the Bat! There are only a few of these cars in the entire Dragon Country!" Someone knowledgeable immediately recognized Qin Xuan's car.
"I wonder which prominent family's child attends this school. I'll have my son get to know them later."
After parking the car by the roadside, Qin Xuan walked towards the school gate.
Seeing Qin Xuan's arrival, everyone quickly made a wide path for him.
Outside the school gate, there was a huge crowd, mostly parents picking up their children.
Since Qin Lin didn't have a mobile phone and used the school's to call Tantai Yue, Qin Xuan had to wait at the school gate.
After waiting for a long time, the crowd outside the school thinned out, but Qin Xuan still hadn't seen Qin Lin, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"What is this girl doing? It's been so long since school ended, and she won't bring her phone. I can't reach her."
Seeing the crowd dwindling, Qin Xuan worried that something might have happened to her. Just as he was about to enter the school, he heard a familiar and kind voice from inside.
"Tang Hui, stop following me. If you keep following me, I'll tell the teacher!"
Qin Lin, with her ponytail, wearing a white shirt and a knee-length school uniform skirt, white knee-high socks, black princess shoes, and a pink anime backpack, was striding angrily towards the school gate.
Behind her, several students in school uniforms were following.
The one in the lead, despite wearing a school uniform, had an earring and his hair parted in the middle, giving him the look of a street punk.
"Linlin, don't walk so fast. I've already booked a restaurant. I've invited you several times these past few months, but you never eat with me in the cafeteria. It's finally holiday, and I specially booked a luxurious Western restaurant. At least give me a chance."
