Picking Up a Gorgeous CEO for a Wife-Chapter 22 - 00 Godmother

22: Chapter 0022: Godmother

22 -0022: Godmother

Amidst a series of compliments, Li Xiuyi was on the verge of bursting with excitement.

Just a few days ago, the mere sight of Qin Yu would irritate her, but today, Li Xiuyi couldn’t help feeling that her son was just so lovable.

“Ziyan, haven’t eaten yet, right?

Auntie will cook for you, Auntie’s cooking is really delicious.”

Li Xiuyi affectionately took hold of Su Ziyan’s small hand, liking her more and more as she looked at her.

To be honest, Su Ziyan wasn’t comfortable with others touching her, and she instinctively wanted to pull away.

But Su Ziyan didn’t, instead, she firmly grasped Li Xiuyi’s hand.

Feeling the strength from Su Ziyan’s small hand, Li Xiuyi’s smile at the corner of her eyes became even more brilliant.

Su Ziyan stared steadily at Li Xiuyi, and in Li Xiuyi’s eyes, Su Ziyan saw undisguised affection and care.

That expression reminded Su Ziyan of her own mother.

At this moment, Su Ziyan’s heart felt warm.

Although she enjoyed this long-missed warmth, Su Ziyan still quietly gave Qin Yu a look.

Qin Yu caught Su Ziyan’s intention and cleared his throat, “Mom, Ziyan and I are going to a party, and we came back here to change into formal wear.

Ziyan, you chat with our mom for a bit, I’ll go up and change my clothes and come right down.”

Our mom?

The two words made Li Xiuyi’s eyebrows raise in a smile.

“Alright, alright, go change your clothes!

Put on the most spirited one!

I’ll take Ziyan for a walk around the neighborhood.”

“Okay.” Qin Yu discreetly gave Su Ziyan an OK sign, then turned and ran upstairs.

Qin Yu’s home was on the third floor, the east side apartment, just as Qin Yu had guessed, there was no one home, his dad was out driving a taxi and hadn’t come back.

Qin Yu walked briskly to his parents’ bedroom, took a piece of thin wire from his pocket, twisted it a few times, forming it into a strange shape.

He inserted the thin wire into the lock of the wardrobe drawer, gave a gentle twist, and with a click, the drawer opened.

Qin Yu’s eyes were sharp, and he immediately spotted the household registration book lying quietly in the drawer.

Qin Yu flipped open the household registration book and frowned.

Huh, strange.

How come the head of the household on the book is Mom’s name, and why are only she and Mom listed?

Where’s Dad’s registration?

Although puzzled, Qin Yu didn’t dwell on it and took the household registration book back to his room.

After all, Qin Yu had told Li Xiuyi he was going to change clothes, and going out without changing would definitely raise suspicion.

Qin Yu opened his wardrobe and pulled out a set of swallow-tailed coats and a slightly retro shirt from underneath everything else.

The suit clearly had been around for a while, but it fitted Qin Yu perfectly, as if it were tailor-made for him.

Qin Yu checked himself out in the wardrobe mirror, not bad, he still looked so handsome.

He and Ziyan were simply a match made in heaven!

After a small dose of self-admiration, Qin Yu opened his shoe cabinet and took out a pair of leather shoes that also seemed to have some history.

The shoes were of an older style but were well-maintained, without a single crease.

Qin Yu, freshly dressed, went downstairs excitedly.

In a little while, after getting the license, he would be a married man!

After going downstairs, Qin Yu didn’t see his mother or Su Ziyan, but Aunt Liu kindly reminded him, “Xiao Yu, your mom and your bride-to-be went to the east side.”

Qin Yu thanked Aunt Liu and quickly headed east.

Soon, he caught sight of his mother and Su Ziyan.

Good heavens, what in the world was Mom doing?

Upon meeting each person, Li Xiuyi would affectionately greet them and then casually introduce Su Ziyan as her daughter-in-law.

In just a short while, the news that Qin Yu had a daughter-in-law spread throughout the entire Mingdu Garden.

Qin Yu’s mouth twitched incessantly.

“Mom, you, you, you…

you didn’t scare away the daughter-in-law I finally got, did you?”

Qin Yu hurriedly rushed over.

“Mom, Ziyan and I are going to be late, we have to go now.”

After speaking, Qin Yu decisively took Su Ziyan’s small hand and rescued her from Li Xiuyi’s clutches.

“Xiao Yu, drink less during the socializing and eat more dishes.

Hey, you bear child, what’s the rush?

I haven’t finished speaking yet!”

Of course, Qin Yu dared not let his mother finish her words.

What if she ended up driving away the daughter-in-law he had secured?

The Porsche Cayman started up, shooting out of the community like a flying arrow, and only after they had left the community gates did Su Ziyan slow down, patting her small chest with some relief.

Honestly, Su Ziyan was a bit frightened by Li Xiuyi’s enthusiasm.

“Cough cough…

Wife, don’t be nervous, my mom isn’t usually like this, she was a bit out of character.”

“Qin Yu, I’m actually quite envious of you, you have such a good mother.”

Suddenly, Su Ziyan became very sentimental, and her eyes started to moisten.

Truly, it wasn’t that Su Ziyan couldn’t handle Li Xiuyi’s warmth; in fact, she enjoyed it.

For a child who lacked maternal affection, this warm feeling made Su Ziyan feel like crying.

At that moment, it took a lot of willpower for her to hold back her tears.

“Wife, you’re wrong.

It’s not just me who has a good mom; we have a good mom.”

Qin Yu quickly corrected her.

“Psh, you better remember, we are in a pretend marriage!”

Su Ziyan rolled her eyes at Qin Yu and floored the accelerator; the Cayman shot forward like an arrow leaving the bow.

For some reason, Su Ziyan suddenly looked forward to getting the marriage certificate with Qin Yu.

After registering our marriage with Qin Yu, can I also enjoy mom’s affection?

Su Ziyan’s foot on the gas pedal increased its force once more.

After ten minutes, the Porsche Cayman returned to the civil affairs bureau.

Qin Yu and Su Ziyan walked into the civil affairs bureau together, coming to the door of the marriage registration office; the door was slightly ajar.

Su Ziyan gently knocked on the door, and a gentle female voice came from inside.

“Is that Yanyan?

Come in.”

“Godmom, I’m sorry I’m late.”

Su Ziyan pushed open the door to the marriage registration office, and Qin Yu followed her in, to see an elegant and dignified middle-aged woman.

Even dressed in the civil affairs bureau uniform, she couldn’t conceal the subtle nobility emanating from her.

Qin Yu was certain and sure that Ziyan’s godmother must come from a distinguished background.

The kind of nobility and grace that comes from one’s bones cannot be learned.

“Yanyan, you are too thoughtless.

Since you graduated, you haven’t come to see your godmother!

If you hadn’t begged me this time, were you planning to never come again?”

Although Qiao Anran’s tone was full of reproach, her eyes were filled with indulgence.

“Godmom…

Yanyan is wrong.”

Su Ziyan hugged Qiao Anran tightly; her own father didn’t care for her, and it was Qiao Anran who had been supporting her all these years.

Even the tuition for Su Ziyan’s university education was paid by Qiao Anran.
