Chapter 74: Second CP - Restrained 

On a winter morning, the morning light always comes late.

But Qin Shilan woke up when the sky had only just turned a little white. She already woke up early, and today she woke up even earlier. For young people who love to sleep in, Qin Shilan was the epitome of self-discipline.

Qin Shilan moved fast. She washed up, put on light makeup, and got ready to go out before seven.

At this time, Mom Qin had just gotten up and saw her daughter going out. Yesterday, the bomb of the eldest daughter falling in love with her younger sister-in-law blew the two elders awake for most of the night. Father Qin sighed for who knew how many times. They knew the eldest daughter’s personality. She always had her own ideas, and she was hard to persuade. From her attitude, she was clearly set on doing this.

“Why are you going out so early today?” Mom Qin knew her eldest daughter’s routine. Going out at this hour was too early.

“There’s a sudden urgent matter at the company,” Qin Shilan made up an excuse.

“Is Shiyue okay?” Mom Qin saw the younger daughter enter the eldest daughter’s room last night. They should have talked. She hoped the sisters wouldn't have a rift.

“She’s fine now,” Qin Shilan said. When she mentioned her sister, a faint smile appeared on her face.

“That’s good.” If the younger daughter could accept it, she could also accept it. It was just that Father Qin cared about saving face, and he needed more time to digest it.

This was probably the most relaxed night Kong Huizhi and Qin Shilan had slept since they got their certificates and moved into this place. It would be great if Qin Shilan came home every day.

Maybe because she slept well last night, Kong Huizhi was in a decent mood. She stretched and got out of bed.

This good mood didn't last long. When she was about to go to the kitchen to make herself a sandwich for breakfast, she saw that there was suddenly another person in the kitchen.

Didn’t Qin Shilan go to her parents’ home? Why did she suddenly appear here? Did she come back last night, or this morning? There was no reason to come back last night, and there seemed to be even less reason to come back this morning.

Kong Huizhi looked at Qin Shilan making breakfast, and a ridiculous thought came up. Did she come back just to make breakfast for her? Thinking about it, she found it funny herself and rejected the thought right away.

Kong Huizhi didn't speak at once. She usually didn't have much desire to talk to Qin Shilan first. Deep down, this was also a kind of resistance from dissatisfaction toward Qin Shilan.

Deliberately avoiding Qin Shilan also didn't seem necessary.

So Kong Huizhi just quietly watched Qin Shilan’s back. Qin Shilan was wearing a light dark gray solid color high neck sweater, which made her whole outline look clean and sharp. She also kept her figure very well. Her hair, which was usually loose, was now casually tied into a loose ponytail, likely just for convenience while making breakfast.

Just as Kong Huizhi was unconsciously sizing up Qin Shilan’s back, Qin Shilan seemed to sense it and turned around. Kong Huizhi didn't have time to avoid her gaze and could only meet it head on.

Unlike Qin Shilan, who had her hair down, Kong Huizhi usually tied her hair tightly because she practiced dance. She rarely left it loose. So now, with her hair loosely down, plus the slender grace from years of dancing, Kong Huizhi looked more charming and graceful.

Qin Shilan couldn't help but look a few more times, but she restrained her gaze as much as possible. She didn't want to show too much emotion. The timing was clearly not ripe yet.

She came over early in the morning on purpose. Besides making her breakfast, she mainly wanted to see her, the woman she had thought about all night.

Kong Huizhi took her water cup and went into the kitchen too. She poured herself a cup of warm water from the dispenser. She had the habit of drinking warm water in the morning and tried to ignore Qin Shilan’s presence as much as possible.

“Didn’t you go home?” After drinking the warm water, Kong Huizhi still couldn't hFather back and asked. Qin Shilan should not be here at this time.

“Isn’t this my home?” Qin Shilan asked back. Standing in front of her was her wife. Someone clearly didn't have this awareness, and Qin Shilan didn't mind reminding her.

Author's Note:

This chapter is a bit short, because I need to sleep early.

This is a scheduled post. At this time, I should already be asleep.
