Ji Xiaoli let out a few satisfied burps, and this breakfast had indeed stuffed her to the point where she didn't want to move anymore. According to her usual habits, she would definitely sit still and not think about moving again, but in front of Qin San Ye, this wouldn't work.

  The result was being dragged away and forced to take a couple of laps to digest.

  "Are you going back now? Is there anything else?"

  Qin Zhenyang narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "En. But it's not that I have something on hand, it should be that we both have something."

  "Huh?"

  "Since it's already registered, your father will have to go there sooner or later. It just so happens that I'm free these few days, so let's go together."

  Is this the rhythm of meeting your father-in-law?

  Ji Xiaoli's heart was quite complicated, on the one hand, if her father knew she had randomly pulled a man into a flash marriage, he would probably beat her to death. On the other hand, who knows what kind of commotion 'mother' would stir up...

  Just thinking of Ji Xuewei's face that always likes to pretend to be innocent, I'm afraid that if I go again, something will happen.

  "Shall we slow down a bit? I'm afraid of my dad..."

  Qin Zhenyang is changing his shirt, most of the clothes in the closet are military uniforms and casual wear, there are also business suits and shirts, mainly black, as for the shirts, there are only two colors, black and white, but Qin Zhenyang himself prefers black.

  Her fingers paused on the buttons, and she raised her eyes to scan him: "You want to hide me away like a black household register, huh?"

  Can a senior military officer at the level of lieutenant colonel be a mistress? This won't work, being someone's underground lover will definitely get you beheaded... Ji Xiaoli was stared at and immediately shut up.

  "I didn't mean it that way, just... The situation at home is a mess. Father genuinely treats her well, but the other two are not necessarily so."

  "Ji Xiaoli, you're not alone anymore! I'm well aware of the situation with your father. Even if someone tries to distort the truth, your father isn't a fool and can naturally distinguish what's real... Moreover, do you think I'm so incapable that I couldn't take care of this?" The man's dark eyes stared at her unyieldingly, leaving her no room to retreat.

  "Of course not!" A man like this is better off not being taken out in public.

  Qin Zhenyang looked up at her eyes and couldn't help but smile: "Since neither of us is, then there's no problem! Change your clothes, we'll set off immediately!"

  "Have you thought about what you want to do today?"

  The man nodded with a hint of a smile, although he was often in the military camp, it didn't mean he didn't understand human feelings and worldly affairs, especially when his wife was around, he had to show respect.

  Ji Xiao Lixing knew that today was definitely going to be the day he couldn't escape, and slowly got up from the sofa to find clothes in his luggage...

  Does this count as a comeback? No way, it's just getting the certificate, she must be out of her mind... Why do I always feel like this man is too excellent and I'm being surpassed in all aspects.

  "Don't change yet, look at this!"

  Ji Xiaoli was still holding an old dress in her hand, which had been worn for a year or two. However, this dress was also one of her favorites, so she threw it into the suitcase.

  She looked up and saw that Qin Zhenyang had pushed open a wardrobe placed beside him. At first, she thought it was his stuff inside, but when he opened it, she was stunned...

  Inside is full of women's clothes...

  Spring, summer, autumn, winter... apart from the fact that there aren't many clothes for winter, she basically has a complete set of clothes for the other three seasons. She was stunned for a long time before asking: "What is this..."

  "This was prepared for you. Yesterday, I mentioned you and my situation to Aunt Wang. We will temporarily live here first. She bought back everything you wear and use. Go take a look, are you satisfied or not?"

  Ji Xiaoli pursed her lips, gazing at the spacious wardrobe, and the rows of dresses inside, feeling a little moved...

  "Why do I have this feeling of eating soft rice?"

  "If you want, you can eat it for your whole life!"

  Ji Xiaoli smiled and snorted, eating soft rice was good, but she couldn't do it for a lifetime. Men being good to her was something she could see, but she also had her own ideals, although they were not yet fully formed, sooner or later she would take a chance.

  She picked out a beige dress from the closet and went to the fitting room to change, she only casually looked at the label, it was actually Armani's, and she couldn't help but feel that it was really too luxurious.

  Standing in front of the mirror, Qin Zhenyang suddenly appeared behind her.

  "Looks great! You suit this color!" The man's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, his hands resting on her shoulders, involuntarily voicing his admiration.

  "Really?" Ji Xiaoli suddenly remembered that Qin Zong had said the same thing back then, but afterwards...

  The man smiled faintly and said nothing, "Let's go, it's getting late... if we don't leave now, I'm afraid we can only make it past this afternoon."

  As he walked, he thought to himself that it was time to get her some more women's clothes... The clothes in this wardrobe seemed a bit lacking, especially the beige and white ones which complemented her skin tone so well; he should get someone to order some more and have them sent over.

  "What would your reaction be if Dad knew we got married?" Ji Xiaoli asked him secretly in the car.

  The man turned the steering wheel, smiling wryly and said: "What's there to guess? Don't think too much... When we get there, you'll know. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, your stepmother and sister have probably already told him."

  "What can I do?" Ji Xiao Li's eyes were slightly panicked, heaven knows she was not afraid of her stepmother and could not be afraid of Ji Xuewei, but only towards her stubborn old father had no way to deal with.

  The man pursed his thin lips and mysteriously raised an eyebrow. "It's simple! When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll hide behind the earth. There's always a way."

  *

  Ji Chunlin usually goes to university on Monday and Friday for classes and discussions, occasionally visits the school library on Saturday, and spends most of his weekends reading in his study room, which makes him a typical old otaku.

  Since his youngest daughter moved out, Ji Chunlin's mood hasn't improved much. Although his wife didn't quarrel with him over Xiaoli's affairs, and Xuewei was more obedient, he still worried about whether Xiaoli would be okay living alone outside...

  His wife said that he really didn't owe Xiaoli anything, and it was already a great virtue to have raised her so big. But people are not like trees, living together for so many years, the father-daughter relationship has always been so good, how could he possibly put his heart at ease?

  Just thinking about what his wife said in his ear last night, Xiao Li might have a flash marriage with a man, he was indeed shocked...

  Ji Chunlin's thoughts were very traditional and conservative, he had high expectations for his daughter, especially Ji Xiaoli who was intelligent, and he had great hopes for her future, hoping she would find a good husband. However, when he heard the words his wife muttered in his ear, he really didn't feel right... But if he were to question Xiaoli, he couldn't do it!

  As a father, he has indeed failed!

  "Who could it be at this time?" Ji Chunlin sat in front of the desk with a book in his hand, but he didn't have the mood to continue reading. When he heard his wife's voice coming from outside the door, he snapped back to reality.

  Fang Youlan saw from the cat's eye that the person who came was Ji Xiaoli, she frowned heavily, originally she didn't want to open it... But today her husband was at home, in case she locked the person outside, it wouldn't be good.

  But thinking of herself slandering this little girl in her husband's ear, she couldn't help but feel triumphant... Even if she comes back now, she won't be able to get anything, and will eventually be driven out by her husband! This good-for-nothing who only knows how to seduce men still wants to stay in the Ji family? Don't even think about it!

  "How did you get back?" Fang Youlan slowly opened the door, frowning and staring at Ji Xiaoli.

  Logically speaking, being kicked out of the house, she should be getting more and more haggard, but why does she feel that this dead girl is living quite well, with a rosy complexion like that, it's really annoying!

  Ji Xiaoli had long been prepared in her heart and seemed to know that she would be treated coldly, so her expression didn't change at all. She said calmly: "I'm back to see my dad."

  Fang Youlan was somewhat dissatisfied with her attitude, just thinking of saying that her father was not there, a sharp gaze shot over, and she glanced at him lightly, it was a tall man nearly 1.9 meters high.

  The man's first impression was that he looked dangerous, but upon closer inspection, he was extremely handsome. Standing next to her daughter's boyfriend Qin Zong, he was even more so... It wasn't until then that she noticed the man had been holding onto this dead girl's hand all along.

  She hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying: "Come in, all of you."

  As she passed by Ji Xiao Li, she muttered two more sentences: "What does it mean for you to come back this time, bringing a man with you, is he your target?"

  Xue Wei said that day, "Ji Xiao Li is going to marry a man." She didn't believe it at first, but now... she has no choice but to believe. Her heart feels uncomfortable, why can Ji Xiao Li, this dead girl, find such a good-looking man?! Especially when this man looks even better than her own son-in-law!

  "Mom, this is the last time I'll call you mom... Although I'm grateful for your upbringing over the years, what you've done to me is enough to offset it. From now on, I'll just call you Aunt Fang. Since I came to see my dad, who he is or isn't has nothing to do with you, right?" Ji Xiaoli smiled faintly, but her tone left Fang Youlan stunned.

  Ji Xiaoli rarely disobeyed her in the past, but since being forced to break up with Qin Zhen, she has become more and more daring, and now she even dares to speak to her like this!

  As soon as she heard the word "aunt", Fang Youlan felt a chill run down her spine and said in an unpleasant tone, "Really no upbringing! Raising you for so many years just raised a white-eyed wolf!"

  "Is that so? That's also what you taught!" Ji Xiao Li didn't even lift an eyebrow, making Fang Youlan feel like her teeth were aching.

  "You this..."

  She hadn't even cursed yet, when the man coldly said: "Auntie, are you sure you want to make a scene? Today we're not here to visit you, let alone with Professor Ji Chunlin right behind you. Are you sure you want to say those words out loud?"

  Fang Youlan was taken aback, and suddenly looked back to see her husband standing at the door of the study room with a displeased expression looking at her, and his prejudice against this adopted daughter deepened.

  But Ji Xiao was actually touched in her heart, after all, she wasn't fighting alone anymore, he was by her side, this feeling was really great.

  Qin Zhenyang knew that the Ji family had a troublesome person named Fang Youlan after inquiring about their news. However, when he saw his young wife's cold and elegant appearance, he didn't think it was inappropriate at all.

  Instead, I feel a sense of relief.

  Ji Chunlin walked out of the study and naturally didn't miss what a few people said, feeling somewhat disappointed with his wife in his heart. Afterwards, he looked at his little daughter again, with a faint smile on her face, looking rosy and seemingly doing well.

  And the man beside her...

  He was also sizing him up carefully.

  In terms of physique, appearance and temperament, they are all top-notch, much better than Qin Zong. The daughter's vision is not bad! However, this is one thing, when seeing the two holding hands, Ji Chunlin coughed.

  "Xiao Li, won't you introduce your father to this person?"

  Ji Xiaoli's face turned red.

  However, Qin Zhenyang stood up straightforwardly and greeted him: "Uncle is well, I am Xiao Li's husband, we registered our marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau just yesterday."

  Patter.

  Ji Chunlin was stunned for a long time, really getting married? He turned his head to look at his daughter, while Ji Xiaoli had already hung her head in thought after hearing this sentence.

  "Ji Xiaoli, tell me what's going on here!" Professor Ji's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

  Ji Xiaoli laughed and scratched her hair: "Dad, what he said is also right, that's the way it is... You've always wanted me to get married early, I'm already 25 years old, if I don't get married soon I'll be a leftover woman... Now, I brought back a son-in-law for you, are you satisfied?"

  Ji Chunlin was so angry that he got a headache.

  It's not a matter of being satisfied or dissatisfied at all!

  But he didn't know that his daughter had another boyfriend and was going to get married! Even if the man is very good, but in his mind, he can't accept the concept of flash marriage.

  "How long have you known him?"

  "It's been half a year." She said so, but in fact, wasn't it that they had only spent one night together half a year ago and hadn't seen each other more than five times until yesterday?

  Ji Chunlin heard this answer and his expression relaxed: "Why didn't you ever mention it to your family?"

  "I thought I'd talk about it after things have settled down." As a result, once things were stable, they went and got married.

  Ji Chunlin touched his forehead, somewhat speechless. In any case, they had known each other for at least half a year, and even if he didn't know, it wasn't like his daughter was having a shotgun wedding.

  Ji Xiaoli saw this and immediately walked over to hold her father's arm, coquettishly saying: "Dad, didn't you always say that only men who have been soldiers are real men? Like our Fifth Uncle!"

  "Are you a soldier?" Ji Chunlin took a glance at the man, his eyes without a hint of suspicion, after all, that innate military demeanor was still there.

  "Alright."

  "It's a decent profession, but Xiao Li, being a military wife isn't that easy, you'd better think it through."

  Ji Xiaoli raised her eyes and glanced at a certain man, "Since I've already made my choice, there's no need to regret it later. Dad, you can rest assured..."

  "How old is the young man?"

  Thirty-two.

  "Compared to Xiao Li, Da is seven years older, but in the army he's still considered young. My fourth brother, Ji Dazhi, is also in the troops, but after all these years he's still just a lieutenant... He's already forty and I reckon he won't be able to get promoted much further."

  "Principal."

  "What?"

  Qin Zhenyang pulled out the ID from his shirt pocket and handed it over. Ji Chunlin took a brief glance, then froze...such a young colonel.

  How is it possible?

  In fact, Qin Zhenyang was from a special forces background and often went onto the battlefield to kill enemies, so he naturally rose through the ranks quickly.

  Fang Youlan, who was standing beside her, was equally shocked. She too worked as a minor clerk in the government agency and the rank of Colonel was not unfamiliar to her... Her heart skipped a beat.

  Is this dead girl's husband going to suppress his own son-in-law?

  "Uncle! This is a little something from me and Xiao Li!" There's 500,000 on the card, not a lot, but many times in Huaxia country giving gifts is actually still the most practical.

  Ji Xiaoli was also shocked, how did she know nothing about it... Qin Zhenyang had thought of everything and even prepared a UnionPay card.

  No wonder...

  "I won't accept this!"

  "I know that Uncle usually likes to tinker with things in the lab, but without money it's impossible... The amount on the card isn't much, just a small token of our appreciation. Uncle has been supporting Xiao Li for so many years, can't Xiao Li show some filial piety towards you?"

  Qin Zhenyang spoke in a grandiose manner, but Ji Chunlin's old face really couldn't be put down. Thinking about the project last time that hadn't been finalized yet, if there was a sum of money to make up for it, maybe...

  "He nodded and said, 'Then I'll take it for now.'"

  I had clearly thought it out and wanted to make things difficult for this person, but now that I've accepted their gift, where's the logic in making things difficult?

  Fang Youlan's eyes were wide with wonder, staring fixedly at the card... This dead girl was so lucky to have found such a generous man, and he was so lavish with his money!

  At this time.

  The doorbell rang ding-dong-ding-dong.

  Fang Youlan went to open the door with a sense of annoyance, but when she saw her own daughter and son-in-law coming together, her mood improved greatly.

  "Chunlin, Xuewei has brought Qinzheng along with her!"

  Ji Xiaoli's body, leaning on the sofa, suddenly stiffened, while her icy fingers were wrapped in Qin Zhenyang's hands. The man's deep voice whispered softly in her ear.

  "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
