I sat in the car without saying a word, somewhat puzzled as to why this woman, with her elegant demeanor, stunning beauty, flawless skin, and perfect figure, would suddenly burst into tears.
However, I didn't ask Qin Xinmei why she suddenly became sentimental. There are some things that should be asked and some things that shouldn't be asked; that's just a matter of human relationships.
However, I suddenly felt a dull ache in my heart because I saw Qin Xinmei crying. I don't know why, but I felt sad too. I had only met this stunningly beautiful woman twice. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but raise my right hand and gently pat her shoulder to comfort her.
The moment my hand touched Qin Xinmei's shoulder, I felt the soft, smooth skin of her shoulder. Perhaps it was the cool air conditioning in the car, but her shoulder felt a little cool. I could clearly feel her delicate body tremble slightly. Thinking it was inappropriate and that I was being disrespectful to such a beautiful woman, I immediately withdrew my hand.
Qin Xinmei nodded and kept looking out the window. We couldn't see her expression, but we could see that her delicate profile was beautiful, with fair and flawless skin, delicate eyebrows, and faint tear tracks at the corners of her eyes. In that instant, she was breathtaking.
A few minutes later, Qin Xinmei turned her face, and I saw that she had regained her aloof and arrogant temperament. Her clear eyes looked at me, and a smile appeared on her flawless face. She said, "Are you hungry? Come on, let's go eat Western food." After saying that, she pushed open the car door with her slender hands, lifted her two long and beautiful legs, and got out of the car with a slight bend in her body. Her size 36 jade feet were wearing open-toed silver 6-inch high heels, and ten crystal white toes with light purple tinges were exposed at the toe of the shoes, as playful and cute as an elf.
We walked towards the Western restaurant. The short walk was followed by Qin Xinmei's stunning appearance. Her perfect face, delicate eyebrows, and cold, noble demeanor made her look like a queen.
As I followed her, I felt the burning gazes of many men. I had an indescribable feeling, a pang of jealousy in my heart. Whoever married her would be blessed for ten lifetimes. But I quickly suppressed that feeling. Qin Xinmei was too perfect. In terms of figure alone, she was unparalleled. Moreover, the Ferrari she drove was worth no less than 5 million. We were from two different worlds.
I suppressed those unfounded thoughts in my mind and decided that after more than two months, if I could find my biological parents, I would return to M country.
It would be even better if I could find them. I just want to ask them why they gave birth to me and then abandoned me. Giving birth but not raising me is extremely hateful, and anyone would be angry.
Qin Xinmei and I walked into the Western restaurant together. She had a kind of delicate fragrance that I never tired of. I hadn't been sure what kind of fragrance it was before, but now I realized it was the fragrance of lotus flowers, light and refreshing, making people linger.
This fragrance is a perfume called "Elegant Night Tide," which is the sixth-ranked brand in the world. A female teacher from the United States used this perfume before. It costs $250 a bottle, which is about 1,600 yuan in China. It is an extremely luxurious brand.
After entering the Western restaurant, Qin Xinmei and I sat by the window. We ordered two sirloin steaks and some desserts. Since Qin Xinmei was driving and couldn't drink alcohol, she looked at me and asked if I wanted to drink red wine. I said I never drink alcohol and would prefer soft drinks.
"Well, drinking alcohol is bad for your health, so let's drink orange juice instead." Qin Xinmei sat with a dignified and elegant posture. Her scarlet dress only reached her knees, and her two slender legs were together. Her body was curvaceous and beautiful. There were quite a few men in the Western restaurant who secretly glanced at her. Some even stared at her two silver openwork feet. She felt disgusted by these behaviors.
In fact, Qin Xinmei rarely ate out because she knew those gazes were full of desire and fantasy, but you can't stop them. Perhaps because of me, she didn't show this disgust.
Qin Xinmei ignored the prejudiced looks. When she heard that I didn't drink, her eyebrows twitched slightly. A hint of desire unconsciously appeared on her alluring lips when she heard that I didn't drink. Then she asked me if I smoked.
"I don't smoke. I took my first puff when I was in my senior year of high school, and the taste was really strong, so I threw it away." I wasn't curious that Qin Xinmei would ask that, but for some reason, I felt very touched.
"Little one, remember not to smoke or drink alcohol. You're in the growth stage now, and touching these things is very harmful to your health." When she mentioned that I had smoked once, Qin Xinmei's expression turned cold. After hearing that I had thrown away the cigarette, her expression softened a bit, and her clear eyes looked at me earnestly, like a mother teaching her child. Patreon.com/Taboo18
"I'm not a child anymore. I'll be an adult on the 22nd of next month." I took a sip of lemonade and said, feigning dissatisfaction. I had no complaints about Qin Xinmei's lecturing, probably because she was just too beautiful, both in appearance and temperament. I stared into her clear eyes and thought to myself, "Oh no, I'm going to end up having to accept things passively."
"Your birthday is on the 22nd of next month." When Qin Xinmei heard that my birthday was in a month, her delicate eyebrows trembled violently, and her slender hands holding the cup of water tightened. Her cold and beautiful face trembled for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.
Her clear eyes gazed out the window, lost in thought. Then, she stood up and told me she was going to the restroom.
"I deserve to die. I've worked so hard all these years that I even forgot Qing'er's birthday. Chen family, you all deserve to go to hell. If it weren't for you, Qing'er and I wouldn't be separated by death. Do you know that he was only three days old? I could count the number of times I saw him on my fingers before he disappeared." In the bathroom, Qin Xinmei stared at her perfect face in the mirror, clenching her teeth and holding her ten slender hands tightly together, revealing a few blue veins under her fair skin.
I now have the ability to protect him. From now on, I will never let Qing'er leave my side again. No one can stop us from recognizing each other and reuniting.
I found it strange that Qin Xinmei would behave in such an incomprehensible way. When I mentioned my birthday, she seemed to look guilty. I couldn't figure it out. Well, I guess I was overthinking it.
Soon, Qin Xinmei came out of the restroom and returned to her seat. Her face was aloof, and her gaze was somewhat cold, but when she looked at me, it was as gentle as the evening breeze and the sound of sand.
After waiting for a while, the food was finally served. During the meal, we talked about all sorts of topics. Most of them were questions from Qin Xinmei, such as what happened when I was a child in the United States, whether my adoptive parents treated me well, my average grades from elementary school to university, whether I had made any good classmates or friends, and various other questions about my life.
I answered each question patiently. As I was finishing my snack and drinking orange juice, Qin Xinmei suddenly asked me a question that I had to answer with difficulty.
"By the way, Xiaoqing, if we really find your parents, what will you do? Will you blame them? Or scold them?" Qin Xinmei asked this question as if it were a casual remark.
However, her eyes were filled with anticipation, wanting to know my answer. Her voice trembled slightly as she asked me this question. Her two slender fingers held the straw and stirred the juice in the glass, trying her best to remain calm, afraid of receiving some kind of hopeless answer.
For many years, Qin Xinmei has managed three companies. As the president, she led a group of capable subordinates and was invincible, eliminating many competitors. Never before has she felt so heavy-hearted.
"I...I don't know, we'll see when the time comes." My body trembled, my eyelids drooped, and my face showed some pain.
"So, all these years, have you hated them?" Qin Xinmei asked, still trying her best to remain calm, even though she didn't get the answer she wanted.
"I've never even seen their faces, and now I have no idea where they are. Besides, I have no feelings for them anymore, and I can't even express my hatred for them," I said, raising my head to look at Qin Xinmei, pretending to be relaxed and indifferent.
What I didn't expect was that when I looked at Qin Xinmei, her face turned pale, and she seemed about to collapse to the side. I was startled and quickly stood up, ran to her side, and supported her, asking with concern, "Sister Qin, are you feeling unwell?" What I didn't know was that when I said I had no feelings for my adoptive parents, Qin Xinmei felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and she could hardly breathe. Her son was right in front of her, but they hadn't acknowledged each other yet, and my words about having no feelings for her had dealt her a huge blow. It was as if my casual words had easily shattered her years of impenetrable armor, leaving her very vulnerable.
When Qin Xinmei saw me embracing her, her pale face flushed slightly like the sunset, but she didn't push my hand away. Instead, she looked at me, shook her head, and said half-jokingly, "It's nothing. I was organizing company documents last night and didn't sleep well. I suddenly felt a little dizzy."
"Actually, if I met my biological parents, I would like to have a nice meal with them, watch a movie, go to an amusement park, and then buy me a new outfit. Hehe, they have never given me these things that I long for," I suddenly said. But for some reason, seeing Qin Xinmei's fragile appearance, I said these words.
At this moment, I put my hand on Qin Xinmei's shoulder, or rather, I hugged her. I was intoxicated by the delicate fragrance of lotus flowers emanating from her.
I could also clearly sense an inexplicable strangeness about Qin Xinmei. She seemed to be in some kind of grief, although she tried her best to hide it. Strangely, I could clearly feel that invisible and hidden emotion in her heart.
Could it be that Qin Xinmei was also abandoned by her parents when she was a child? No, did she abandon her child? That's why my words hurt her heart.
Actually, when I first thought about returning to Xia Country, I planned to ask them why they abandoned me, then vent my anger by scolding them before returning to M Country. But seeing Qin Xinmei's frail appearance now, I feel like I'm protecting my unfinished birth parents. No, to put it simply, I'm protecting Qin Xinmei. I've only met her twice. What kind of mentality is this?
Ever since I met Qin Xinmei, this noble, stunningly beautiful, and aloof woman, I've found myself following her every emotional lead, unconsciously wanting to submit to her and fall into her bottomless vortex.
"Alright, how long are you going to keep hugging me?" Qin Xinmei's face changed drastically; her usually cool and aloof expression turned cold and glaring at me with her clear eyes.
"I thought you weren't feeling well, so... I needed to pee." At that moment, I don't know if it was because I drank too much lemon water and orange juice, but the urge to pee suddenly came. I quickly let go of Qin Xinmei's shoulders and ran towards the bathroom.
"Fortunately, everything is as I expected." Qin Xinmei looked at my back, the coldness on her face disappeared, she sighed, and gently tapped the table with a slender, white index finger, making a crisp sound. Her gaze became incredibly gentle.
