"Mother, have you been waiting for us long?" Qiao Xin asked in the end. Xiao Long's mother smiled and then shook her head.

"Don't think about it, let's get in right away. Family designers have been waiting for you for a long time. And of course he is looking forward to your arrival, he is very curious about the future daughter-in-law of the Han family."

Qiao Xin couldn't help but smile at that. What could she do? A thing that made Qiao Xin seem a bit confused, Qiao Xin was not a person who might like to be introduced, like to be known by people or even like to be praised. Qiao Xin was comfortable with herself, with her seclusion and all the privacy she had. He didn't want to be so easily exposed. Moreover, he had an incredibly shy feeling.

Xiao Long saw the troubled look on Qiao Xin's face, and then he took the initiative to hug Qiao Xin. Xiao Long knew that Qiao Xin was not comfortable with her current situation, and right now, he didn't want to make Qiao Xin feel pressured at home.

"Mother, don't be like that. Qiqi has a slightly shy nature. If Mother forced and flaunts her to everyone like this I'm sure all she's doing is just keeping her head down. One of the reasons why she doesn't want a marriage to be exposed is this, so I hope you'll understand a little bit. We'll take things slowly until Qiqi gets used to it, Mom," Xiao Long asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Long's mother smiled. She didn't think that her happiness might even make her future daughter-in-law uncomfortable at all.

"I'm sorry, Qiqi. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable at all. Not at all, it's just that I'm very happy that you came here. I love you very much, and I feel so enthusiastic about your arrival. And one more thing, Qiqi has something I want to tell you. Starting tomorrow you move here, because your wedding preparations are very short and suddenly there are so many things you have to do, and one more thing, Qiqi, tomorrow Grandpa can go home, tonight you have to stay overnight, because we will be busy decorating the room Grandpa and prepare a surprise party for Grandpa."

"Mother, I don't mind the matter of introductions at all and it's not your problem, and staying here…" Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Long with a panicked expression on her face. How could she not? She was confused about where would Qiao Xin live if she lived here? That was what made Qiao Xin extremely confused.

"Never mind, I you live here. Tomorrow we will move into the house. Because after all Grandpa will be very happy when we all get together, the house will be very lively and fun, and I hope that we will continue to be happy like this, so that Grandpa will also feel calm and happy. After all, what Grandpa has been through has been very stifling and difficult. I don't want to make Grandpa feel claustrophobic again, it will be a pity and it will make Grandpa feel sad if we don't gather here."

Xiao Long's mother seemed to be surprised by her son's words. How could it not be? This is really beyond reason, the figure of Xiao Long wanting to stay at home because he is afraid that his Grandfather will get sick? Isn't that quite impossible? Xiao Long's mother knew how her son was, a typical child who would never care about anyone no matter what. Even in the past, when his Grandfather had been hospitalized many times because of Xiao Long's refusal to marry or refuse to return home, Xiao Long was still firm in his stance. Xiao Long didn't want to go home at all, no matter what. And now why did Xiao Long suddenly tell Qiao Xin to stay at home? A thing that is beyond reason at all that his mother never knew. Xiao Long's mother then looked at Qiao Xin, and then she smiled sweetly. How not, it seems that Xiao Long's mother understands that maybe Xiao Long has changed because of Qiao Xin, and Xiao Long's mother is very grateful to have Qiao Xin beside her son. A figure who doesn't have a lot of demeanour, a simple figure, and a very gentle figure. Even the second before the wedding day, Qiao Xin never discussed asking for any dowry, making Xiao Long's mother seem very surprised by her future daughter-in-law.

"It's a pity you know, your arrival in the midst of this family brings a lot of surprises and happiness. Grandpa who was said to barely be able to go home and had to be treated in intensive care at the hospital, in fact now Grandpa can go home and his condition is better even the doctors are surprised because of the health development of Grandpa, and now Xiao Long. As long as he grew up and could earn his own money, this was Xiao Long's first time deciding to go home on his own. Whereas normally, even until Grandpa went to the hospital, Xiao Long wouldn't care. Xiao Long just visited the hospital but he doesn't want to go home at all."

Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Long, but the tall man pretended not to hear. Xiao Long scratched the back of his neck, and then he walked into the room where there were already people in their glamorous style. Yes, maybe these people are acquaintances from the Han family, or even one of them is a designer from the Han family, which Qiao Xin knows is indeed one of them looks familiar. Her fashion designs are often included in fashion magazines and television, though.

"Madam Lee, this is my beloved daughter, Xiao Long's future wife," Xiao Long's mother brought Qiao Xin in and introduced Qiao Xin to everyone there.

Qiao Xin looked awkward, wanting her to run near Xiao Long. Somehow Qiao Xin felt that the safest place in her opinion right now was near Xiao Long because Qiao Xin felt that only Xiao Long could help her out of all of them.

Meanwhile, Xiao Long seemed to be enjoying what Qiao Xin was experiencing. How not, seeing Qiao Xin with her stupid look was a very pleasant thing. Even Xiao Long felt like laughing at all of this.

After all the introductions and measurements of wedding attire, the Han family finally decided to decorate Xiao Chuan's room to welcome the Grandfather's arrival, who was highly respected by many.

"Are you feeling nervous?" Xiao long asked in the end. After who did everything, he sat down with Qiao Xin in his backyard.

Qiao Xin, who seemed to be enjoying the sight, turned to look at Xiao Long, then she nodded her head. Either this is a marriage based on a contract, and the two don't even love each other. But the thing called marriage is marriage, especially for Qiao Xin, who didn't have any experience with wedding processions. Qiao Xin once dreamed that she could marry the man she loves, standing at the wedding altar with her father in her arms. She was wearing a beautiful white dress with a pounding chest and an overwhelming sense of happiness. Seeing the man, she loves waiting at the altar with the priest was the perfect moment ever. However, all of that is unlikely ever to come true, and it will never happen at all. How not, Qiao Xin seemed to be aware that the reality would be like this. Perhaps even widowhood was a status that she would soon assume after she married Xiao Long. So how could Qiao Xin not be nervous? Let alone nervous, she even felt more broken, nervous, sad and also felt guilty about her family. She was offering a fake marriage and giving fake happiness to her family. A lie that who can never forgive.

"I'm nervous, I'm sad, and I feel like a great sinner, that's my honest confession of how I feel right now," Qiao Xin replied.

Hearing this, Xiao Long immediately turned his head. He seemed speechless and couldn't even say anything.

"But, Young Master Han—"

"Learn to call my name, don't be so formal. Are you going to keep calling me that forever? What if my family finds out, they will be suspicious of your strange calls," Xiao Long protested. Qiao Xin nodded.

"I just wanted to tell you that after we get married you can let me work. I want to work, and be able to support my own life."

"What for? You want to embarrass me by working outside? You are Young Madam Han."

"But no one knows about our marriage, right? So I still have the right to work."

"I can give you thousands of times your salary at any company. So stop acting and sit at home. What if Grandpa finds out? and asked me why you stayed at home obediently. Grandpa will be very upset that you stayed."

"I've asked Grandpa's permission and Grandpa agreed. It's just…." Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Long, who was already annoyed by Qiao Xin's behaviour. "It's just that Grandpa thought that I was working with you, and I pretended to be," Qiao Xin finally answered.

Xiao Long seemed to be holding his breath, wanting to let Qiao Xin know or whatever. Xiao Long couldn't understand what Qiao Xin was thinking. When all women choose to roost at home and shop, enjoy their time by being a big lady. But how could Qiao Xin even act so annoying?
