LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 38 - I
When Xie Qi woke up, it was already early in the morning.
He was still in a daze when he woke up, but he quickly remembered what happened yesterday. He suddenly sat up from the bed, looked next to him, and lifted the quilt. The quilt was very flat. Apparently, no one had slept there.
Xie Qi wondered, had Qin Yizhi not come back all night?
After washing up, he went downstairs and found there were many people in the hall. While he was still a little confused, Fan Qingyue rushed over to him and spoke excitedly, “Oh my God! Shan Tongxu is actually your husband’s sister!”
Xie Qi was stunned. He knew the name Shan Tongxu. She was a popular female star now. She had many popular dramas on the air, was very beautiful and charming, and had good ability. Fan Qingyue was her fan and had collected a bunch of her poster photos.
Fan Qingyue lowered his voice and said, “I said it was impossible for our sister Shan to not have any financial backer as they claimed. This is clearly supported by her own wealthy family. My God, I never thought that one day I would be able to see her so close.”
Li Siwen also came over. “Shan Tongxu was very low-key when talking about her family. I listened to their chat and it seemed that Shan Tongxu is here to support you. It sounds like she’s siding with you.”
Xie Qi looked at the crowd. Fan Qingyue was entranced by Shan Tongxu, who seemed to be giving instructions in the crowd. She was indeed very beautiful, and her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Qin Yizhi’s. Both had very outstanding looks, so it seemed the looks of Qin family weren’t too bad.
At this time, Shan Tongxu’s eyes met Xie Qi’s. Her eyes lit up, and she greeted a few people before walking to Xie Qi.
Xie Qi wasn’t star-struck, so he remained relatively calm, but Fan Qingyue, who was next to him, pinched his arm nervously and panted like a cow, his face turning red as if he were about to pass out.
Xie Qi: “…”
He couldn’t help but tilt his head; it was embarrassing.
Li Siwen was a little better than Fan Qingyue, but not much better. She whispered to Xie Qi, “Oh my God, her skin is so white, it’s glowing!”
Xie Qi didn’t say anything until Shan Tongxu walked up to him and looked him over. She smiled and said kindly, “Hello, I am Qin Yizhi’s cousin. My real name is Qin Shantong, but you can call me Sister Shantong.” She extended her hand to Xie Qi.
Xie Qi extended his hand to shake hers and said politely, “Hello, my name is Xie Qi. Just call me by my name.”
Qin Shantong spoke to Xie Qi as a common person would, without any airs. “I came here to take care of you. I was a little worried before I came, but after seeing you, I know what it means to be naturally beautiful. Your skin is really good and clean. Do you use any skincare products?”
Xie Qi was actually a bit indifferent to strangers. He wasn’t afraid of them, but he had no interest in making friends. Even though she was very beautiful, she didn’t catch his attention, so he said calmly, “No skincare products needed. Just wash face with water.”
After chatting for a while, Qin Shantong suddenly smiled and said, “Actually, you and Brother Yizhi really look like a couple.”
Xie Qi just replied dryly, “Really?”
Qin Shantong smiled so hard her eyes narrowed. “It’s getting late, let’s clean you up quickly. We’re going to dress you up as the most beautiful bride today.”
Xie Qi: “…I’m a man.”
Oh, never mind, anyway, he did assume the role of the bride.
.
When Qin Shantong went to get tools with others, Fan Qingyue came close to Xie Qi and said, “Hey, you kid, you’re not attracted to my goddess at all? What a beauty! Why do I feel that you’re a bit gay? Didn’t our school beauty like you in junior high? She wrote you love letters, but you didn’t pay any attention…”
Xie Qi: “Oh.”
He sighed, startling Fan Qingyue, who was prompted to shut up. Li Siwen added tactfully, “This is the cold feet before marriage. Alas, there’s nothing we can do. Just bear with it. You can’t run away from the marriage.”
Fan Qingyue also lost the excitement and joy of seeing his goddess and looked at Xie Qi, his expression showing distress. He patted his shoulder with sympathy, “Poor baby.”
Xie Qi was soon surrounded by others and went to change clothes. He wore a black suit. What surprised Xie Qi was that the size and tailoring were all right and very good too.
He was already tall, measuring 1.81 meters, with good body proportions, a slender waist, and long legs. When he put on a suit, he really had the aristocratic temperament of a rich young master.
Although he had a lot on his mind, Xie Qi maintained an outward appearance of calm and poise. His delicate and beautiful appearance resembled that of a handsome boy stepping out of a comic book.
His golden eyes were also distinctive—after all, they were quite rare, but the ends of his eyes were always red and still needed to be set with powder.
Xie Qi was pulled over to start styling his hair. His hair was a bit short, but the person Qin Shantong brought seemed to have exceptional skills. To Xie Qi’s surprise, they styled his short hair into a three-quarter length that fit his scalp. It gave him a slightly older appearance, not too immature.
Because he was attractive, any style would suit him. The stylist said regretfully, “My young friend, you should grow your hair longer. You’re really beautiful. If your hair were longer and had more volume, you would definitely win the hearts of a thousand girls.”
Another person who joined in agreed, “Yes, you have a pretty boy look. If your hair were longer, you could style it in various ways. If your hair were two centimeters shorter, it would be a short cut, which would still look good, but it would detract from your face.”
