I Have a Wealth Gathering Array

"Brother Qin Yun, I won't be polite then."

His cousin Zhao Dongxue said with a grin, picking up an Apple to eat.

Ignoring her, Qin Yun looked at Qin Xiaotao and asked, "Brother Xiaotao, is everything arranged?"

Qin Xiaotao nodded and said, "All twelve Celestial Fortune Clothing stores are ready for the event; it starts at five."

Nowadays, Qin Xiaotao is full of energy in his work, and Qin Yun is gradually letting him take responsibility for some matters of the clothing store.

"Alright, since everything's arranged, you should spend a good night with your wife tonight," Qin Yun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qin Xiaotao blushed and glanced at Hu Shanshan.

The group had a meal together and then went their separate ways.

After leaving, Qin Xiaotao took out a gift and handed it to Hu Shanshan, saying, "Shanshan, this is for you."

The gift was a bracelet.

Next to them, Hu Shanshan's cousin had eyes full of envy.

Qin Xiaotao treated her cousin exceptionally well—food, drinks, gifts, there was no lack of any of it. Additionally, Qin Xiaotao had a very good temper, always speaking softly to Hu Shanshan.

Also, Qin Xiaotao wasn't bad-looking. With Qin Yun being handsome and his two sisters Qin Xuan and Qin Lu being pretty, the Qin Family's genes were strong, so how bad could Qin Xiaotao look?

In the past, Qin Xiaotao was very skinny, often bowing his head and looking dispirited due to low self-esteem. But now, he's become more confident and gained some weight, looking entirely different from before.

Hu Shanshan nodded and accepted the gift.

From initial gratitude, she had now become accustomed to it.

"Yue, let me and your sister take you back first." Looking at Zhou Yue, Qin Xiaotao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Yue immediately smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Qin Xiaotao drove Hu Shanshan's cousin back first and then took Hu Shanshan to a movie.

"Today's domestic movies are so disappointing, with random plots thrown together,"

After watching the movie, Hu Shanshan commented, "But the promotion was quite good, and the movie rating was also decent, probably because a lot of people were hired to give good reviews."

Qin Xiaotao nodded and said in agreement, "I saw online that the box office might exceed a billion, but I think it's difficult."

He thought for a moment and said, "Shanshan, let's watch another movie next time we take a break."

"Okay," Hu Shanshan replied casually, "If I have things to do, I'll let you know in advance."

"Hehe, come and catch me!"

"Wow, they're kissing!"

In the distance, laughter and cheerful voices echoed.

On Christmas Eve, the streets were filled with young couples strolling around, looking sweet, even kissing publicly, making others envious.

Qin Xiaotao glanced over and then retracted his gaze, looking at Hu Shanshan beside him.

In the past, during his time at university, he didn't dare to pursue girls because of his family situation. He liked Hu Shanshan but never dared to show his feelings.

Even when they ran into each other before in Jinling, he didn't dare to make a move, as his underlying insecurity made him feel unworthy of Hu Shanshan.

But now, months later, he's no longer the same insecure guy he used to be. As Qin Yun's business expanded, his salary also increased, now reaching over nine thousand a month.

Money builds courage, and he's becoming more and more confident now.

"Shanshan,"

Suddenly, Qin Xiaotao spoke.

"What?"

Hearing Qin Xiaotao's words, Hu Shanshan was taken aback and looked at him in confusion.

Qin Xiaotao felt his heartbeat quickly accelerating; looking at Hu Shanshan, he finally said after a long pause, "Can you not go back tonight?"

His voice was low; evidently, Qin Xiaotao wasn't good at saying such things.

After saying this, Qin Xiaotao felt an instant calmness take over, and his previously racing heart suddenly steadied as he looked at Hu Shanshan, waiting for her answer.

Hu Shanshan obviously heard it clearly and fell silent.

They had been in a relationship for nearly three months, and Qin Xiaotao had treated her very well, being the most ideal choice for a husband.

However, upon really hearing this, she subconsciously felt a touch of resistance.

"Xiaotao, I want to wait until we're married..." Hu Shanshan looked at Qin Xiaotao and said hesitantly.

She's also uncertain about her feelings for Qin Xiaotao, as there was no rejection in their normal interactions.

Hearing this, a flash of disappointment appeared in Qin Xiaotao's eyes, but he didn't insist. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

He scratched his head and smiled foolishly, which made Hu Shanshan's heart feel even more restless.

The boy in front of her was genuinely good.

"Then… I'll take you back."

The previous topic clearly made the atmosphere a bit awkward, especially for the somewhat straightforward Qin Xiaotao, who thought for a moment before speaking.

"Okay," Hu Shanshan nodded.

The two of them fell silent once more. After dropping Hu Shanshan off, Zhou Yue looked at them in surprise.

After arriving in Jinling, Zhou Yue lived with Hu Shanshan.

But today, Zhou Yue thought her cousin wouldn't be coming back tonight. She was in her rental, chatting with friends, and scrolling Douyin.

"Shanshan, have a good rest at home. I'm leaving now," Qin Xiaotao said, turning and walking away.

"Sis, what's going on between you and brother-in-law..." Zhou Yue was clearly confused and couldn't help but ask.

Hu Shanshan didn't reply, just watched Qin Xiaotao's departing figure.

"Do I like Qin Xiaotao?" Hu Shanshan questioned herself internally.

Over these months, she had grown accustomed to Qin Xiaotao's presence, having a boy next to her who had everything arranged perfectly, making brown sugar water for her during her special time, and without hesitation, buying anything she liked...

Every single thing made him the best candidate for a partner, and she had never met a boy this good before.

Yet, why was there a slight resistance?

Hu Shanshan felt a bit lost.

...

At Jiangyuan University, Qin Yun strolled around the campus.

"Qin Yun."

Just as he arrived, a joyful voice came through, followed by a girl quickly running over. The girl, Lin Mengmeng, was sweet and cute-looking.

"Qin Yun, have you eaten?" Lin Mengmeng asked, tilting her head shyly.

"I have," Qin Yun replied, "What did you need me for?"

Hearing Qin Yun's answer, Lin Mengmeng seemed a bit disappointed but took out a red Apple from her pocket.

"This is for you."

She handed the Apple to Qin Yun, her face blushing.

Seeing her expression, Qin Yun was helpless. Somehow, this silly girl had fallen for him.

He had said it many times before, but Lin Mengmeng still didn't give up, insisting that since he didn't currently have a girlfriend, she still had a chance.

Gradually, he stopped saying anything about it.
