~Between the Pages and the Coffee Pot: Translated Novels~

  Chapter 151: The Way     Ying Sisi's heart was warm. You can tell if someone cares about you in every little detail. Father Qin and mother Qin were afraid that they would have a hard time. They would often take the initiative to give them living expenses.   Li Junlu, on the other hand, would only tell her not to cause trouble in her in-laws' house. Sometimes she really envied Qin Yanci. Although he had suffered some grievances, his parents never lacked for his material needs.   That alone was better than many parents.   She said, “It's enough. We'll ask if it's not enough.”   “Okay then.”   Ying Sisi left. As she passed the lobby, a man walked over. “Hello. Are you a new colleague? What's your name? What position are you in?”   “I'm not new. My dad brought me here to get some living expenses.” Ying Sisi made up an excuse.   Dad? His face turned green.   He quickly returned to his seat.   Ying Sisi smiled and left.  ...

  Chapter 150: Stance     “Why are you suddenly asking this?”   Qin Yanjun smiled. “I'm getting old and my hearing isn't so good. Every time I go to the office, I have to pass the service hall. People always give me the side eye. I suspect they're waiting for the office door to close and then talk bad about me. You're young and your hearing is good. Help me listen.”   Ying Sisi stifled a laugh. I thought that the higher a person's position, the less they would care. It turns out that they also mind being talked about. She readily agreed. “Okay. My hearing is really good. I can hear the kids talking downstairs.”   “There are no kids downstairs.”   “Downstairs in our building.”   Qin Yanjun's eyebrows twitched. She can hear them even with the door closed?   That definitely falls under excellent hearing.   He led Ying Sisi into his office.   Others thought she was a new employee and looked at her.   When she entered the offic...

  Chapter 149: Reasonable     Old Master Shen pondered for a long time. “Is that girl strong? Is her hearing good? Our Shen family has always been strong and had excellent hearing. Our physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people. Even if we get injured, we recover faster. Does she behave that way?”   Qin Yanjun sighed helplessly. He's already exposed the truth about his in-law's past, but this old man still doesn't believe it. He insists on finding out her characteristics. Doesn't he think it's disrespectful? But he can't offend him.   He chose his words carefully. “That child grew up in the countryside. She's used to doing farm work, so she's definitely stronger than ordinary city girls. What do you mean by excellent hearing? What's the boundary? As for her recovery from injuries, she has never been injured, so I can't say.”   “You married your son a wife. How can you not know her characteristics? You know your in-law's love af...

 Chapter 148: Uncertainty     Ying Sisi pointed to the stool opposite her and gestured for him to sit down.   Qin Yanci walked over and sat down. He hesitated for a moment and took off his socks.   Ying Sisi raised her foot. She waited for him to reach into the basin and step on her foot.   Their skin touched, and he suddenly felt numb all over. His voice became hoarse. “Sisi, have you heard the story of ‘Brothers Fighting Each Other’?”   “I've heard of it. It's like infighting.”   Qin Yanci lowered his eyelashes, hiding the surging possessiveness in his eyes.   This is just the surface meaning.   There's another layer of meaning.   It refers to two brothers fighting over one woman. Although his situation is a little special, it's essentially the same.   “Achoo! Who's talking about me behind my back again.” Ying Sisi covered her mouth and sneezed.   Qin Yanci's thoughts turned. “Your sister?”   “Her mother probably...
