The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Xiao Yuan gestured to Xiao Qin, ”Talk to him properly. I’ll step out for a bit.”

Xiao Qin wasn’t in a hurry.

”Second Brother, why not leave after the meal?”

Xiao Yuan didn’t leave.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Yuan patted Xiao Qin’s shoulder, ”Talk well.”

Then he quickly left.

Once Xiao Yuan left, Zhou Hai nervously asked Xiao Qin, ”Qinzi, what’s your brother’s attitude? Is he dissatisfied with me?”

Xiao Qin shook her head and smiled, ”No, I already told Second Brother about your situation. If he was dissatisfied, he wouldn’t have come to meet you.”

Xiao Qin motioned Zhou Hai to pay the bill. Once they had settled the bill and left the restaurant, Xiao Qin said to Zhou Hai, ”Actually, it was just a misunderstanding. The time you came to buy a cake, the staff at that shop had an urgent matter, and I happened to be there, so I helped out.”

”You’re not working at the pastry shop then, what do you do?”

Zhou Hai was a bit puzzled.

Xiao Qin laughed, ”I’m the owner of the pastry shop.”

”Oh,” Zhou Hai nodded, ”That’s nice. It’s good.”

He didn’t feel any different about Xiao Qin being the owner, treating her just as he always had.

Xiao Qin liked Zhou Hai’s attitude.

”My job keeps me quite busy, so I was thinking, since you’re at school with more free time, after we get married, you’ll definitely have to take care of the family more. When we have kids, you’ll need to spend more time with them. Are you okay with this?”

Since they’re getting married, everything must be discussed, and they both need to agree.

”Of course.”

Zhou Hai nodded eagerly, ”You know I have no parents, just an orphan. What I desire most is a family, relatives. So, once we have a family, I would definitely want to take care of it more. When we have kids, I certainly want to take care of them myself.”

Xiao Qin genuinely smiled this time.

She turned around and hugged Zhou Hai, ”Thank you.”

”What are you thanking me for?”

Zhou Hai was still confused, ”We’re going to be together, so naturally whoever has more time deals with the family stuff, that’s normal. Why thank me.”

Xiao Qin linked arms with Zhou Hai, smiling brightly, ”Yup, you’re right.”

Later on, Xiao Qin called Xiao Yuan, ”Second Brother, I’ve decided. It’s him, for life.”

Zhou Hai is genuinely dependable, and even though Xiao Yuan has only met him once, he can tell. Furthermore, Zhou Hai is very suitable for Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin was led by Xiao Yuan into entrepreneurship and later opened her own shop, growing stronger over the years. If she found a strong man, it would conflict.

Zhou Hai values family, being intrinsically gentle and accommodating. If Xiao Qin marries Zhou Hai, they can likely avoid conflicts and live a harmonious life.

”Congratulations.”

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, ”I’ll give you a big red envelope when you get married.”

”Sounds good.”

Xiao Qin didn’t stand on ceremony with Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Qin’s wedding was simple. She and Zhou Hai got their marriage certificate and invited Xiao Yuan’s family, and some friends she met in the Capital, to a meal. That was the wedding.

Xiao Family was informed by Xiao Qin of her marriage, saying her partner is an orphan, currently working as an art teacher at a school, and they both don’t have much money, so they won’t hold a wedding, just got the marriage certificate and would live together.

Xiao Qun and He Fangfang scolded Xiao Qin over the phone, saying she was worthless, didn’t ask for a bride price, didn’t hold a wedding, and ended up marrying herself off. They said she was foolish for finding such a poor guy, unlike Xiao Xiu, who at least found rich bosses bringing in money for the family.

That angered Xiao Qin, she hung up without explaining the details.

During Xiao Qin’s marriage, Xiao Family members didn’t show up. Only Xiao Bai knew about it, though couldn’t attend due to commitments, but still sent money to Xiao Qin, saying if she likes something, she can buy it with the money.

Xiao Bai had just bought a house; funds were tight, but he did his best.

Xiao Yuan gifted Xiao Qin a house.

The house was near Zhou Hai’s school, in a school district, for either living or renting out.

After the marriage, life for everyone was calm. Like that, several years flew by.

In September, the autumn heat was intense. The weather got quite warm that morning.
