BXBX NOVEL Chapter 43 - Married {9}
"Well, what are we discussing here. Han Hotel, it's true that the name is the same as Xiao Long's surname, but the Han family name isn't just one person right? Who knows the rest of the Han family, or maybe even relatives of the Han family who will be our family-in-law. Come on, stop thinking nonsense. After all, you guys don't know how our family is? I know that our Han family is not a poor family, especially after seeing their clothes, their cars, and everything Xiao Long has done for our family. But if we think that the Han family, who is our future family-in-law, owns a hotel like this, aren't we imagining things too high? Doesn't that mean that Xiao Long is a prince or crown prince of the Han kingdom? And think about it, how can someone as rich as the Han family want a daughter from a poor family like ours. Isn't that something impossible? There must be many rich women who are far more deserving and far more beautiful than the daughters of our families. Wouldn't that make a lot more sense?"
Her daughter and younger brother were silent and looked at each other, making both of them lower their faces. Qiao Xin's mother took a deep breath, and then she took some clothes from her bag and put them into her closet.
"Come on, you guys rest. Tomorrow we will come to Qiao Xin's wedding venue, because reportedly we will be sent family uniforms as well as a makeup artist to do our makeup,"

This afternoon, Qiao Xin was sitting alone with Xiao Chuan, feeding Xiao Chuan patiently and painstakingly. The man seemed to be holding Qiao Xin's hand warmly, and then he smiled so kindly. He never imagined that he would have a granddaughter-in-law like Qiao Xin. A very simple, kind person, and what made Xiao Chuan even more unexpected was that Xiao Long was willing to marry Qiao Xin. After a long time, Xiao Chuan tried hard to get his grandson to marry, but his grandson agreed with the woman of his grandfather's choice for the first time.
"Qiqi, Grandpa is very happy that tomorrow you will officially become the Han family. How happy Grandpa is now, it even feels like Grandpa wants to live another thousand years to see you have children, and have grandchildren and many more. That's even why I was able to have the healing power to this degree, it's all because of you, because you're going to be my granddaughter-in-law, Qiqi," Xiao Chuan said with tears in his eyes.
Qiao Xin painstakingly rubbed Xiao Chuan's wet cheeks, then Qiao Xin hugged his body very warmly.
"Grandpa, what did Grandpa say? I would be very happy if Grandpa said that Grandpa wanted to live another thousand years, and spurred Grandpa's subconscious to be able to recover from illness. So don't thank me. Thanks to Grandpa's own spirit, I will be very excited to see Grandpa fully recover and be with us forever."
Forever? Qiao Xin looked speechless. What is she saying this? If it was true that Xiao Chuan had fully recovered and was in the midst of the Han family forever, would that mean that her contract marriage with Xiao Long would last forever as well? Because the agreement in the contract clearly states that the contract ends when Xiao Chuan is dead. Qiao Xin was confused now, so what was her marriage for now? Wishing Xiao Chuan a speedy death, or wishing for Xiao Chuan's recovery? Because if Xiao Chuan died, then the contract marriage would be completed sooner but wasn't Qiao Xin and Xiao Long's goal of contract marriage not for that? They both wanted to bring happiness to Xiao Chuan. That was their goal.
Qiao Xin took a deep breath, so she thought about many things. How could it not be, Xiao Chuan's slow recovery made her realize one thing if it was very likely that her contract marriage with Xiao Long would last a long time or even forever. So can Qiao Xin live in a household forever with a man she doesn't love? Qiao Xin had to ask Xiao Long this so that she could get a satisfactory answer.
"Still I have to thank you, Qiqi. After all, it's like a miracle."
"You mean Grandpa?"
"You'll never know what Xiao Long really is, he's a man who doesn't want to be tied down, stubborn and opinionated. Xiao has told me many times that he only wants to marry the woman he truly loves, but until now he hasn't had any ideal woman at all. In fact, he always refuses whenever Grandpa wants to marry him, no matter if Grandpa is dying or maybe even dead. But with you, he acts like this, Qiqi. Although at first I was sure that at first he was trying to prank you because he might be annoyed, but in the end he wanted to do this marriage, he was the one who tried to convince you and make you agree to this marriage," said Xiao Chuan.
Qiao Xin was silent again, and she didn't think that possible that all of this would happen. Qiao Xin lowered her head, and she didn't know Xiao Long either. She had only just gotten to know Xiao Long, so Qiao Xin couldn't be certain how Xiao Long was and what Xiao Long was like.
"All right, Grandpa, whatever it is. Now Grandpa has eaten, and until it runs out. After this I will take Grandpa to the room, take medicine and then Grandpa rest. So tomorrow Grandpa will look fresh and handsome at my wedding with Xiao Long,"
Xiao Chuan nodded, then he followed Qiao Xin's words. Walking into the room then Qiao Xin tried to help Xiao Chuan to lie down on the bed. Qiao Xin swiftly took Xiao Chuan's medicine, then gave it to Xiao Chuan.
On the other hand, Xiao Long's parents saw that both of them smiled sweetly. Seeing the figure of a granddaughter who is very obedient to her father is a very pleasant thing at all. Xiao Long's parents seemed to see their late daughter, who was currently taking care of Xiao Chuan.
"Look how very obedient and kind Qiqi is to our family. even from behind like this, I can see Lingling who is with us. Qiqi's face is at a glance similar to Lingling's. At first I thought that Xiao Long chose Qiqi to be his wife because maybe Qiqi is similar to Lingling. But it turned out that my guess was wrong, Xiao Long chose Qiqi for his own purposes of course and I fully support that."
"At least besides we have a daughter-in-law in the end, we can also cure our longing for Lingling. The existence of Qiqi gives another color to the Han family."

And the day he had been waiting for came, Qiao Xin was already sitting beautifully on a chair directly opposite a large mirror. The makeup kit was there very clearly, and now Qiao Xin seemed to be looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, a very beautiful makeup that looks very suitable on her face. A beautiful bun with a beautiful crown on her head. The white dress that seemed to be hanging down, sleeveless made Qiao Xin's long neck look real. Qiao Xin didn't even think that she was the one in front of the mirror.
"Xiao Long, don't you want to see your bride before you're at the wedding altar?" Xiao Chuan asked. Xiao Long, who was currently standing in the doorway of his room, looked silent, then he shook his head. Seeing Qiao Xin before the wedding, what for? A very inappropriate thing at all and a thing that is beyond the limits of its fairness. Xiao Long knew very well that no matter what the story and how expensive the clothes and makeup attached to Qiao Xin's body, it would not change the woman. For Xiaolong. Once the trash is forever trash, it will never be a pearl or a gem.
"No Grandpa, I'll just go straight to the wedding altar. I feel that Qiqi is also still nervous about what she will now face. So giving her time is the best thing now, instead of us having to come there and make Qiqi cry instead. I don't want that to happen, Grandpa."
Xiao Chuan seemed to be aware of Xiao Long's problem, and then he nodded his head. What Xiao Long said was true. Perhaps now Qiao Xin wanted time for herself and her family first because, for a woman, it was sometimes like that. Easily emotional and easy to cry, especially when she was about to relinquish her status from single to wife. Xiao Chuan would not allow the Liu family's precious moments to be disturbed because of her presence. That was what Xiao Chuan was trying to understand right now.
On the other hand, the Liu family was already at the Han family home. The three of them looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces. How not, seeing conditions like this is not a very easy thing for them.
"This is the castle?" asked An Xin, who seemed amused by the appearance of the building in front of her. They immediately sat down in the seat provided, and then the three looked at each other.
"Is this the Han family home?" asked Qiao Xin's mother then.
"Maybe they rented. Rather than a house isn't this more like a castle? The building is really very luxurious and very expensive."
"Maybe the wedding hall," Qiao Xin's mother decided. "Isn't it natural for a rich person to rent a building or place like this for a wedding?"
