Chapter 9

Misunderstanding

"What are you doing?" Qin Qianxue didn’t get closer, after all, a few big guys swinging their fists could easily hurt others.

The security guards, hearing the voice, quickly turned around. Seeing Qin Qianxue, they immediately put on a smile: "Miss Qin, this little hooligan was causing trouble here, we were just about to drive him away!"

Qin Qianxue glanced at Qin Shu. Although he was dressed nicely, he was dirty and indeed had a bit of a ruffian’s air. She nodded: "Just drive him away, don’t hurt him!"

"Of course!"

Seeing that Qin Qianxue was about to return to her car, one of the security guards hurriedly said: "Miss Qin, please wait a moment. Could you take a look and see if you recognize this person?"

Qin Qianxue was taken aback, then turned her head to look at Qin Shu again.

The security guard wanted to embarrass Qin Shu and expose his grandiose lies.

Qin Shu was also looking at Qin Qianxue, his heart racing. He thought to himself, my wife is her, beautiful, elegant, and with a noble demeanor. Damn, I fell in love at first sight, truly at first sight.

Qin Qianxue, feeling the fiery gaze of Qin Shu, slightly turned her head: "I don’t recognize him!"

The security guard laughed triumphantly: "He was boasting that he’s your friend and even your future husband. He’s just a liar, he really deserves a beating!"

Qin Qianxue’s delicate brows furrowed, but she wasn’t angry. She emphasized: "I don’t recognize him, he’s just talking nonsense. Open the door, I’m going in!" She turned and walked away.

Qin Shu came to his senses and smiled: "It’s fine if you don’t recognize me, but you definitely recognize this!"

Qin Qianxue couldn’t help but turn around and saw that Qin Shu was holding a necklace, not a particularly valuable one, with a half-heart pendant at the bottom.

Her face changed, and she couldn’t help but stand still: "This... this is..." She definitely recognized the necklace, quickly walked forward, and with an agitated expression, pushed through the crowd to Qin Shu’s side. She grabbed the necklace in Qin Shu’s hand and examined it for a long time. Then she took out another necklace from her neck and matched the pendants together, which fit perfectly, seamlessly.

Her body trembled, and she looked up at Qin Shu, her voice trembling: "What’s your name?"

"Oh, I’m Qin Shu!"

"Qin Shu?" Qin Qianxue was even more agitated and grabbed Qin Shu’s arm: "You... you are my brother?"

What’s going on? Qin Shu was stunned. He took out the necklace just to show that he was sent by Qin Yuanhe, but how did he directly become her brother? Qin Shu knew she must have misunderstood. After all, the necklace was prepared for the siblings, one half for each. She suddenly saw Qin Shu holding the necklace, and given their similar age and the same surname, she mistakenly thought he was her brother. But her brother had died in a car accident before he was even born.

Qin Shu’s thoughts raced. He thought, might as well go along with the misunderstanding. This way, his relationship with Qin Qianxue would quickly become very close.

"Are you my brother?" Qin Qianxue was extremely agitated, even tears welling up in her eyes, sparkling like diamonds, touching and beautiful.

Qin Shu coughed, took the opportunity to catch Qin Qianxue’s hand, and whispered: "Sister, let’s talk at home!"

Sister? Brother? The security guards were dumbfounded, not understanding what was happening.

Qin Qianxue also knew it wasn’t convenient to talk here, with several burly men around. She quickly turned and grabbed Qin Shu’s hand, not treating him as a stranger, and walked towards her car.

Qin Shu turned and smiled at the stunned security guards: "Guys, I’m really sorry, I have something to do today. We’ll catch up another day!"

...

White-collar Apartment, Room 907.

Qin Qianxue opened the door and went in, still tightly holding Qin Shu’s hand, as if she didn’t want to let go. She turned and said excitedly: "You are my brother, right?"

At that moment, Qin Shu’s stomach growled. He scratched his head: "Sister, I’m hungry, I haven’t eaten all day. It’s really hard to come to the city, with so many buildings. I searched for a whole day to find this place and almost got beaten up by the security guards!"

"Oh, I’ll go cook for you! Can you eat some instant noodles first?"

Qin Shu nodded: "Anything will do, I’m so hungry I could eat a whole pig!"

Qin Qianxue hurried into the kitchen, and Qin Shu finally had a chance to look around the house. The house was spacious, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, decorated in a very elegant style, mostly in light colors, giving a very clean and refined feeling, similar to the impression Qin Qianxue gave.

Qin Shu plopped down on the sofa, thinking about how to continue the story based on Qin Qianxue’s misunderstanding, to make her believe her misunderstanding was correct.
