I insist

Chapter 57: Qiu Tianlei is a Master

Suppressing her doubts, Song Miqiu reluctantly closed her eyes and rested for a while.

But the quality of rest like this is probably not even as good as if I didn't sleep at all.

When it was fully light, she was woken up by the voices of the people around her.

Qiu Xiaobai and Qiu Xiaoshuang, the two little ones, ran over early in the morning to see their beloved grandma.

Even if Song Miqiu had a lot on her mind, she wouldn't reveal it to the two little ones.

"Mom, you don't seem to be in good spirits. How about I prepare breakfast today? It might not taste very good, but we'll all have to make do with it."

Ms. Tian has always been a meticulous girl; it's unclear whether this is due to years of training or simply her nature.

Song Miqiu wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Yumei."

"Mother, why are you being so polite with me? This is what a daughter-in-law should do. Please sit here for a while longer, it will be ready soon."

Tian Yumei was quite quick in her movements. After all, if it had been her previous wicked mother-in-law, she might have been beaten severely if she had been a little slower.

After a hasty breakfast, they set off again.

Qiu Tianlei was unusually quiet today, whether because of yesterday's events or something else, even though he disliked several of the things Tian Shi did.

Normally, he would have been furious, but today he showed no reaction whatsoever.

Song Miqiu frowned, her mind replaying the words Yu Huailin had spoken to her the night before.

"Qiu Tianlei...is there really a problem?"

She still wanted to catch up and ask him for clarification, but she didn't know if the man was deliberately avoiding her or if it was just a coincidence. Every time she tried to approach him, she was interrupted.

Song Miqiu felt somewhat depressed, but couldn't vent it, so she could only keep it bottled up inside, which made her feel increasingly uncomfortable.

During lunch, Song Miqiu approached Yu Huailin again, but before she could speak, she was entangled by the two little ones.

"Grandma! We want to hear you tell us the story from last night!"

Last night, because she couldn't sleep, Song Miqiu suddenly felt like telling them many fairy tales.

To my surprise, the two little ones became quite engrossed in listening! All day long, whenever they had free time, they would try every means to pester me to tell them stories.

Song Miqiu felt her mouth was getting dry, but the two little ones just couldn't get enough of her. She wanted to refuse, but looking at the children's expectant faces, she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

There was no other way but to be dragged away by the two little ones once again.

Yu Huailin could tell that this woman probably wanted to talk to him about something, but since he had such a good opportunity, he absolutely couldn't lose the initiative.

So even though Yu Huailin had noticed Song Miqiu's unusual behavior, he still didn't take the initiative to talk to her.

Opportunities to have this woman come to him are rare, so he must make the most of them!

Perhaps they can even reach a cooperation agreement this time?

Song Miqiu had no idea what Yu Huailin was thinking. If she had known, she probably would have preferred not to know the truth and would never have spoken to him again.

Finally, when everyone was resting at night, Song Miqiu was able to escape.

Thinking about how the two little ones had even forced themselves to stay awake, refusing to go to sleep just to hear her tell another story, Song Miqiu felt both amused and exasperated.

"I didn't expect you to know so many strange and unusual stories. I just wonder if any of those stories you're talking about actually happen in real life?"

It must be said that this woman is quite good at storytelling; if it were edited into a storybook, it might sell very well in the capital.

After all, even he was somewhat fascinated when he first heard these stories, but he found them rather ridiculous after hearing them again.

Indeed, stories are just stories; how could such a happy ending possibly happen in reality?

It's likely that the beginning will be bloody, let alone the loving scenes that follow.

These stories are just for fooling children.

Song Miqiu naturally didn't miss the fleeting expression on his face, and his expression immediately turned sour.

"These are just things to tell children. You're a grown adult, why take them seriously? I never said these stories were true."

"Why are you suddenly angry?"

Song Miqiu didn't want to talk to him, so naturally she didn't reply.

Yu Huailin dared not tease her any further, fearing that if he continued, the woman would explode with anger.

"Alright, I won't talk about this anymore. Just ask me whatever you want."

"What exactly did you mean by what you said yesterday? Why did you tell me to be careful of Qiu Tianlei?"

Having spent so much time with Qiu Tianlei, I had never noticed anything amiss with him. Yu Huailin's sudden remark made it hard not to be suspicious.

Yu Huailin was not surprised that Song Miqiu wanted to ask about this matter. Since he had reminded her, he naturally had no intention of hiding anything.

“That day when I pressed him down, his instinctive resistance wasn’t just based on brute force. This Qiu Tianlei is skilled in martial arts!”

Song Miqiu was stunned. Qiu Tianlei... actually knew martial arts?

But isn't he just a country bumpkin?

If I had to name any skill, it would definitely be the skill of causing trouble!

"What? You don't believe me? What if I told you that he not only knows these things, but his combat skills are definitely not low? If you show anything wrong in front of him, he might find out right away."

This time, Song Miqiu didn't say much.

Yu Huailin would never deceive himself with such a thing, nor would he need to.

Just as Song Miqiu was pondering, Yu Huailin suddenly approached.

"Tell me the truth, is your staying with the Qiu family related to this? Does Qiu Tianlei have any secrets?"

Yu Huailin was genuinely curious and had absolutely no malicious intent.

But Song Miqiu really didn't know!

"Didn't you say you were going to teach me how to control my internal energy? Why are you talking to Qiu Tianlei like this now? Are you going to teach me or not? If not, I'm going to go back and rest."

Song Miqiu admitted that she wasn't very good at changing the subject, but she really had no way to answer this question.

She had no idea!

The people behind this had only revealed last time that they did have a purpose in the Qiu family, but she didn't know what it was.

But Yu Huailin kept asking, if she knew, would she still be so troubled?
