Upon hearing this, Qiu Qianyu paused her actions and glanced at him.
She replied, "A few days ago, didn't grandma's health take a turn for the worse? That's why my aunt's family specifically ca from the South to visit her."
"They landed this evening and have just arrived at the Qiu Family. So, grandma has called for a family gathering tonight and expects all the Qiu Family mbers to attend."
"Firstly, to welco my aunt's family."
"Secondly, to take this opportunity for everyone to gather together as a family."
So that's how it is!
However, after speaking, Qiu Qianyu hesitated, a trace of uncertainty appeared on her pretty face.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Chuan noticed Qiu Qianyu's hesitation. He walked over, looked at her stunning reflection in the mirror, and gently asked with care.
Qiu Qianyu sighed, a glimr of worry flickered in her eyes!
She spoke softly, "You don't know, my aunt's family is quite successful in the South. Every ti they co back, they make a show of it and always belittle others."
"To be honest, our Qiu Family isn't very fond of them. This ti, I'm concerned they might target you."
Jiang Chuan understood Qiu Qianyu's concerns.
A wave of warmth and gratitude swept over him.
He knew Qiu Qianyu was considering his feelings.
In the Qiu Family, Jiang Chuan was already underappreciated. With the arrival of an even more domineering aunt's family, Jiang Chuan might beco their target for scorn.
Jiang Chuan gently held Qiu Qianyu's fragrant shoulder, looked at her in the mirror, and softly reassured her, "Don't worry, I will try my best."
"I think they won't be too excessive, after all, they are your family too."
"At worst, if they say sothing offensive, I just won't respond. How does that sound?"
Qiu Qianyu nodded, then suddenly turned around, looking at Jiang Chuan with a complex expression.
After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Jiang Chuan, I know you're not ordinary."
"You've endured a lot in our family, and I really don't want you to be treated like this."
"But they are my family, and often I feel powerless."
Jiang Chuan gently patted Qiu Qianyu's shoulder, gazing at her exquisite face.
This girl has had a hard life. Jiang Chuan knew she wanted him there, but also feared him being ridiculed by those people, leaving her torn inside.
Therefore, Jiang Chuan understood her.
Feeling the girl's helplessness, Jiang Chuan comforted her gently, "Don't worry, your family is my family too."
"No matter what, no matter how they treat , I won't care. You can be assured of that."
"Hmm."
Qiu Qianyu nodded gently.
Suddenly, she hesitated, and a trace of uncertainty flashed in her eyes.
But in the end, she still murmured in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, "Um... If you want, tonight... you can move in and live with ."
"What? What did you say?"
Jiang Chuan clearly heard what she said.
But he pretended not to have heard clearly.
Qiu Qianyu's pretty face turned red like a sunset after saying this.
She glared shyly at Jiang Chuan, and despite her embarrassnt, she repeated it again.
However, her voice was much weaker than before.
Still, Jiang Chuan heard it clearly.
"Tonight... if you want, you can move in and live with ."
Jiang Chuan was ecstatic.
All along, he had been staying at his own place.
Even though his place wasn't far from Qiu Qianyu's, they were still separate.
Now, Qiu Qianyu was actually allowing him to move in and live with her. How could Jiang Chuan not be happy?
The thought of holding Qiu Qianyu's delicate body in his arms and falling asleep tonight filled Jiang Chuan with joy.
It's what he had always dread of.
However, upon seeing Jiang Chuan's ecstatic smile, Qiu Qianyu suddenly rembered sothing. Her face flushed with urgency, and she quickly added.
"Don't get wrong, I ant you could move into the sa house, not sleep together. Don't overthink it!"
