Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1884: Chapter 1886: Sisters-in-Law Heart-to-Heart

When they returned home, Cheng Su had a sip of hot tea before she started preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner. Qi Taiguo, instead of helping and getting in the way, stayed to chat with their son and parents, while Qi Fengping actively went to the kitchen to help out.

Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo had some time to themselves and were in a great mood, humming a tune while deftly washing and chopping.

Qi Fengping was also by her side, helping with the vegetables and washing. Seeing Cheng Su’s radiant look, she couldn’t help but tease, ”Sis, you and my brother went out to buy groceries but came back looking like you just visited a beauty salon, with your cheeks looking all rosy like a young girl.”

Cheng Su turned her head and said, ”You’re just talking nonsense, aren’t you?”

”I’m speaking the truth; your complexion truly looks radiant. As they say, women need love.” Qi Fengping, looking at her lips, whispered, ”Sis, did you and my brother do something naughty?”

”What naughty thing? Stop making stuff up!” Cheng Su glared at her. This cheeky girl dares to say anything.

”Deny it all you want, but your lips are chapped.” Qi Fengping pointed to the corner of Cheng Su’s mouth, saying, ”I mean, how long does it take to buy groceries?”

”You’re still talking.” Cheng Su put down the potato and tickled her, saying, ”We just sat in the café downstairs for a while, and you make it sound like an affair!”

Qi Fengping giggled, pleading, ”Good sister-in-law, it’s my fault. Forgive me!”

After teasing her enough, Cheng Su let her go, humming, ”See if you dare to make fun of me again!” and picked up the potato to peel it once more.

”I’m not really making fun of you; it’s just that I think you and my brother have a good relationship!” Qi Fengping said, ”You got married in ’85, and now it’s just hours to ’90, so it’s been five, six years. Keeping a good relationship is rare. It seems you truly like my brother. No wonder you clung to him even before you got married.”

Cheng Su uttered a sound, then changed the topic, ”Your brother and I didn’t always have it good. We almost divorced at one point. In a marriage, it’s all about compromise and understanding, lots of communication and trust.”

Qi Fengping said, ”It’s easy to say, but hard to do.”

”Enough about us. You’re at university now; have you met anyone you like?” Cheng Su asked her.

Qi Fengping, without looking up, said, ”No. I don’t want to date anyone right now.”

”Still thinking about the past?”

”Why would I think about the past? I’m just busy studying. Studying law isn’t like other subjects; there’s so much to memorize. My foundation isn’t good, so I have to memorize everything by heart and put in more effort than others. Sis, this path isn’t easy, but I’m already on it, and I don’t want to give up easily. I plan to walk steadily on this road before considering anything else,” Qi Fengping said. ”I really don’t have time for romance.”

”But if you find someone suitable, you could give it a try, especially in university. It’s easiest to date fellow classmates, there’s always something to talk about, and you might even meet the one destined for you. Falling in love and getting married, you can learn and grow together.”

Qi Fengping shook her head, ”Wrong! Dating distracts you, makes you think a lot about another person. I don’t want to waste that time. Right now, studying is my top priority. You know how hard it was for me to get into university. It’s too difficult for me. If I don’t make the most of it, all my past effort would be in vain. Not only do I want to graduate well, but I also plan to pursue a master’s degree in the future!”

Cheng Su looked at her in surprise, and after quite some time, she said, ”You really impress me.”

Qi Fengping chuckled self-deprecatingly, ”Having been in a slump, I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes!”

”Go for it!” Cheng Su patted her shoulder.

Qi Fengping shrugged, and the sisters-in-law, in silent agreement, let the topic drop and moved on to talk about other interesting stories.
