Chapter 431
Hearing Qin Yan tell the story with such conviction, the room quickly erupted into laughter and playful banter.
Qin Rong and Qin Chao were both stunned. “Wait, seriously?”
Qin Yan nodded. “I only remembered recently when I saw Xiao Xi and Weiwei playing. Thinking about it now, it’s absolutely hilarious. Hahaha.”
“But how do we know for sure that it was Er Sao?” Qin Chao asked curiously.
Qin Yan smirked. “Because later, I casually asked Mom if she remembered that funny incident, and she casually replied, ‘Of course! That was Fei Fei’s promise. Didn’t they meet the year before during a vacation? Among the kids, there were only two. Fei Fei was too young to remember, but Ah Xian—do you remember?’”
Qin Xian was momentarily stunned. Then, a memory flashed through his mind.
A little girl had plucked flowers from the garden and woven them into two rings. She slipped one onto his finger, placed the other on her own, and grinned brightly.
“I already kissed Qin Er-ge! And now, with these rings, we’re officially married. The most handsome Qin Er-ge is my husband now! That means we can always be together forever!”
At the time, Qin Xian had been unable to speak. He simply stared at the ring on his finger.
The little girl had laughed and run off, but by the time she returned from playing, the ring on her own finger was long gone, lost somewhere in the grass.
Qin Xian had felt disappointed. Eventually, his own fragile flower ring had also fallen apart.
When he snapped back to the present, he found Ji Fei staring at him, looking slightly uneasy.
【Oh, crap. That was kid stuff… Wait, could she actually be my first love?】
Of course, the missing words in Ji Fei’s thoughts were not censored for Qin Lao’er’s family, who could hear everything clearly.
After all, soul replacement was a tricky thing—even mind-reading abilities seemed to instinctively block out certain complexities.
But Qin Xian… understood.
Deep down, he had always felt that the girl from his fragmented memories was Ji Fei.
And the woman who had schemed against him before, the one he had instinctively resisted and avoided—was not the real Ji Fei.
If abilities like the gossip system and mind-reading existed, then maybe other unbelievable things were possible too.
He remembered it so vividly—when he found out about Ji Fei’s family’s car accident, he had rushed to the hospital. At that moment, something deep inside him had compelled him to go near her, to protect her.
But after Ji Fei woke up the second time, that feeling had completely vanished.
If supernatural things truly existed in this world, then he trusted his instincts to tell the difference.
But did Ji Fei really not remember anything from before? Or was there something else?
Qin Xian didn’t overthink it—after all, his own memories were fragmented as well.
But right now, his wife was jealous.
She was worried that the childhood promise had been with someone else.
So he lowered his head, pressed his forehead against hers, and murmured with deep affection:
“Only Fei Fei. The only one I love is Fei Fei.”
That was all he needed to say.
Qin Xian rarely made such direct confessions in front of others.
Even Ji Fei, who usually had thick skin, turned bright red on the spot.
The room instantly erupted into cheers and teasing.
Meanwhile, Yu Lu looked like she was about to explode.
What the hell?! Every time I try to stir trouble, it just ends with them shoving their love in my face!
Still refusing to give up, Yu Lu dropped another bomb in the middle of the laughter.
“Ohhh, so you two have known each other for that long! Then there’s something weird—since you’re already married, why haven’t you held a wedding yet? If you had, we could’ve met much sooner!”
Yu Lu rarely interacted with the Qin family’s younger generation, but if anyone in the family got married, invitations would always be sent out.
Even if she wasn’t close to them, she would have been expected to send a wedding gift.
Which meant one thing—Ji Fei and Qin Xian had never held a wedding ceremony.
But since they were already married, that meant they had signed their marriage certificate.
And when you thought about it like that… the situation seemed very suspicious.
The room fell silent.
Everyone thought the same thing: Yu Lu really knows how to pick the worst topics.
Even the air around Qin Xian felt heavier.
Everyone already knew not to bring this up.
For various complicated reasons, no one had talked about it before.
Qin Wenqiang quickly stepped in, trying to defuse the situation. “I heard Grandpa told them to postpone it.”
“Why?” Yu Lu asked immediately, smiling as if she were enjoying the drama. “Is Grandpa unhappy with Er Sao?”
Her glee was way too obvious.
“No, quite the opposite. He’s too happy with her,” Qin Yi quickly answered. “The thing is, our family’s marriage luck has been awful these past few years. You’ll hear about it soon—several couples have recently divorced or broken up. Grandpa thought it might be bad luck to hold the wedding now, so he asked them to wait.”
Others in the family nodded in agreement.
It was true—their family’s romantic relationships had been a disaster lately.
But Qin Lao’er’s family knew the real reason.
This wasn’t about luck.
It was just that all the buried issues in the Qin family had been exposed at once—because Ji Fei existed.
If Ji Fei hadn’t been here, these people’s problems would’ve taken years to unravel.
Meanwhile, Qin Xian and Ji Fei had no such issues.
Suddenly, Qin Xian spoke up.
“Well, since everyone’s here, I might as well announce something. After Grandpa’s birthday, everyone should set aside some time—to attend mine and Fei Fei’s wedding. We’ll pick an auspicious date and notify you soon.”
The entire room erupted in shock.
“Wait, really?! You’re holding the wedding right after Grandpa’s birthday?”
“But didn’t Grandpa say—”
“It’s fine,” Qin Xian cut in calmly. “I’ll talk to Grandpa myself. I don’t want to wait anymore.”
Then he turned to Ji Fei, his gaze unwavering.
“We don’t believe in those things.”
Ji Fei, seeing how serious he was, smiled and nodded.
“Mm. We don’t believe in superstitions. We only believe in each other.”
If two people were right for each other, even the worst luck wouldn’t matter.
At this point, there was nothing left to say—everyone simply burst into excited congratulations.
Qin Chao shamelessly added, “Perfect! Grandpa’s birthday can bring you good luck instead.”
Everyone laughed at that.
The atmosphere became even more harmonious—making Yu Lu feel even more like an outsider.
In the end, she couldn’t take it anymore.
If she stayed any longer, she’d probably vomit blood from anger.
Making up an excuse about being tired, she called a servant and asked to be taken to her room.
Since she was considered half a daughter to the family, she would be staying here with them.
The moment she left, everyone exchanged glances—then let out muffled laughter.
“She’s so annoying,” Qin Tiantian grumbled. She rarely ever said she disliked someone.
“Huh? But you were super friendly to her at first,” Qin Xiaoyu teased.
“Well, she’s so rude to Jiaxi, and she’s completely hostile to Er Sao! What’s her deal—does she seriously think she can break up Er Ge and Er Sao?” Qin Tiantian pouted.
Qin Jing simply pointed across the room. “You think they can be broken up?”
Across the room—
Ji Fei was already sitting cross-legged on the couch, completely wrapped up in Qin Xian’s embrace.
He was holding her like she was the most precious thing in the world, casually feeding her fruit.
They didn’t even spare a glance at anyone else in the room.
For them, the world only had each other.
Their second brother was an iron-hearted man who had bloomed only for one person.
Qin Tiantian could only sigh at how sweet it was. She wanted to take a photo and send it to her brother—he always gave her red envelopes when she did!
“Well, one thing’s for sure—Xiao Gugu isn’t the type to accept defeat. I wonder if tonight will be enough to stop her… or if she’ll try again.”
What do you think?
