Chapter 228: Friends Circle Visible Only to Family Members
When Yan Lan heard Qin Shi's words, she was stunned, and the marriage agreement about secret marriage came to her mind again.
Almost subconsciously, she murmured softly,
"That's so troublesome. I have to send it again when I get divorced."
She realized it belatedly after she had said it, but it was too late to take it back.
After all, she and Qin Shi were in a secret marriage. They had been married for several months. This meant that there was less than a year left in this secret marriage?
In her mind, this was just a contractual marriage with a clear deadline, so her first reaction to making the matter public was to refuse.
Her refusal made Qin Shi, who was holding the steering wheel, pause. His handsome face, which usually looked a little nonchalant, froze in an instant.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the atmosphere became a little subtle and awkward.
Just then, the green light in front came on. As if to break the suffocating silence, Qin Shi slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the cool sports car flew out like an arrow, whooshing and bringing up a gust of wind.
"Do you think I want to make it official with you?"
Qin Shi's face turned cold, and his voice unconsciously carried a hint of anger and helplessness.
“I just wanted to let my grandpa know, and my grandma too.
Grandpa will be going abroad for recuperation soon, and we can’t let these two old people stay in the dark.”
He looked straight ahead, concentrating on driving, but his fingers gripping the steering wheel turned white from the force, revealing that he was not at peace at the moment.
"How about... only family members can see it?"
Yan Lan sighed softly, feeling reluctant to see her grandfather go abroad.
Fortunately, communication is convenient nowadays, and she can still contact the old man through the mobile phone, so she won’t lose contact.
She turned her head to look at Qin Shi, with a questioning look in her eyes, and proposed a compromise.
The reason why Yan Lan insisted on acting so cautiously was entirely for Qin Shi's consideration.
Everyone in the circle can see that Qin Shi and Bai Xiaoyu are very close.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better not to let Bai Xiaoyu know the secret of this secret marriage.
After some negotiations with Qin Shi, the two finally reached an agreement.
Yan Lan took a deep breath, slowly took out his mobile phone, and opened the Moments editing interface.
She carefully checked the option that was visible only to the Qin family and "Time". Then, she tapped the screen and uploaded a photo. In the photo, a bright red marriage certificate lay there quietly.
The car stopped steadily at the destination. When Qin Shi got out of the car, he seemed to suddenly remember something and took out his mobile phone to check it.
Soon, he saw the marriage certificate in "Lantian"'s circle of friends.
Looking at the photo, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he also posted a circle of friends, which was also set to be visible to his family.
After sending it, he paused, looked at the circle of friends again, then put the phone back in his pocket with satisfaction and followed Yan Lan into the villa.
On the other side of the earth, sunlight shines through huge floor-to-ceiling windows into the spacious and bright living room.
A graceful old lady was sitting on the soft sofa.
The old lady was wearing an exquisitely tailored black silk cheongsam, her silver hair was neatly combed, and every strand was tucked neatly behind her ears.
At this moment, she held the mobile phone in her hand, and her fingers slowly slid across the screen. The movement had a bit of elegance accumulated over the years, but also revealed unquestionable majesty.
She wore a pair of sapphire reading glasses on her nose, and her eyes behind the lenses were fixed on the marriage certificate on the screen, her eyes gradually becoming sharper.
A hint of displeasure flashed across the old lady's brow, as if a stone had broken the tranquility of a calm lake.
Then, without hesitation, she pressed the call button and made a call.
Her tone carried the commanding tone of a superior.
"Why did Qin Shi announce his marriage?
Didn’t I say before that unmarried pregnancies should not be made public? "
On the other end of the phone, the old lady listened quietly, but her expression became more and more ugly. Her lips were slightly pursed, forming a tight line.
"A woman with unknown origins and no sense of self-discipline is not worthy of being the granddaughter-in-law of the Qin family."
The old lady's voice was icy cold, and every word seemed to be covered with frost.
"Neither this child nor this woman can be kept."
After that, she hung up the phone.
The old lady looked out the window, lost in thought. Her eyes were full of ruthlessness and determination, as if she was already planning how to deal with this "farce" in her eyes.
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and Qin Shi was sitting in the office reviewing documents.
The phone rang suddenly, and he picked it up. The loud and clear laughter of his grandfather came from the other end of the line.
"Hahaha, you really made me proud!"
The hearty laughter penetrated the receiver, and Qin Shi couldn't help but smile.
"Grandpa, have you seen the circle of friends?
You were the first person to call and congratulate me."
Qin Shi put down the documents in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and spoke with a sense of ease.
"That's not the case!"
The old man was in high spirits.
"Once you two got the marriage certificate, I felt relieved.
When will you have your wedding?
As for the betrothal gifts, I must choose them myself.
I'm going to call my old friends too!"
Qin Shi thought of Yan Lan's rejection before, and gently pinched his eyebrows. He had to pour a basin of cold water on his grandfather.
“Grandpa, we’re not planning a wedding.
Besides, there has been no response from grandma yet.
She doesn’t seem to like Yan Lan.”
"Your grandmother is getting old and confused.
How can we not have this wedding?
A woman only gets married once in her life, so she has to have a wedding, and it has to be a grand one!
Old Master Qin had already begun to picture the grand wedding scene in his mind, with flower arches, luxurious motorcades, and every detail clearly imagined.
"Grandpa, let's not worry about the wedding for now."
Qin Shi coughed twice.
"Yan Lan is pregnant, so she shouldn't work too hard." These words were like a bombshell, shocking the old man instantly.
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.
Qin Shi waited patiently. The silence lasted for a long time. Just when Qin Shi thought that the old man had disconnected, suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the phone.
The laughter was louder and louder.
"You little bastard, good job!"
The old man was so excited that his voice trembled.
"Don't worry, I'll fly to your grandma right now and tell her about this great news. She's sure to be overjoyed!"
After saying that, without waiting for Qin Shi's response, he hung up the phone in a hurry. He was probably packing his luggage and getting ready to leave.
