Chapter 31: Brooch

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At home, Chen Zhao was pacing back and forth.

His face was full of worry for one moment, and then his brows were relaxed the next. His mind was in a mess.

Chen Ming, that kid, did not even send him a message to report.

How did he perform?

Chen Zhao said to himself, “I hope nothing went wrong. Success or failure depends on this.”

He then put his hands together and prayed, “It must go well! I’m still waiting to carry my grandchildren.”

While Chen Zhao was praying, the sound of approaching footsteps was heard.

Chen Zhao immediately perked up his ears to listen. When the footsteps were about to reach his door, he was sure that Chen Ming and Qin Qing had returned.

Chen Zhao opened the door before they could knock.

There were indeed two figures standing outside.

Because it was dark and the voice-controlled lights in the corridor were broken, Chen Zhao did not see Chen Ming holding Qin Qing’s hand. He only heard Qin Qing sniffling from time to time.

Did she catch a cold? Or was she crying?

Chen Zhao did not think too much about it, and Chen Ming and Qin Qing took off their shoes and entered the house.

The lights in the room were bright, and Chen Chao immediately noticed Qin Qing’s red eyes. Coupled with her obviously heavy nasal voice, he was almost certain that Qin Qing had cried.

Why was she crying?

All kinds of questions appeared in Chen Zhao’s mind, and his imagination ran wild. Still, he had no answer to those questions.

While he was thinking about this, Chen Ming had already taken off Qin Qing’s coat for her.

“Go back to your room and have a good rest. I’ll see you tomorrow,” Chen Ming said gently.

Hearing this, Qin Qing smiled shyly and quietly greeted Chen Zhao. She then followed Chen Ming’s instructions and went back to her room to rest.

She had to admit that she was indeed exhausted.

When Qin Qing returned to her room, only the father and son were left in the living room. Chen Zhao then hurriedly hustled Chen Ming over to the sofa.

Chen Zhao stood in front of the sofa with his hands on his hips and asked, “Chen Ming, what happened to Qin Qing? If I’m not mistaken, she should have been crying, right? Did you make her cry? You had better tell me the truth!”

“You’re not allowed to change the subject, and you’re not allowed to speak vague words to fool me. ”

Chen Ming almost laughed out loud when he saw Chen Zhao’s anxious expression.

Chen Zhao noticed that he was holding back his laughter. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and urged Chen Ming, “Hurry up and tell me. Don’t waste time here.”

Since Chen Zhao was in such a hurry, Chen Ming did not continue to keep him guessing.

He said slowly, “I went to Qin Qing’s house. Qin Qing’s parents were quite satisfied with me. When I came back, I officially confirmed my relationship with Qin Qing. Maybe she was moved to tears.”

“Dad, how can you have such a rich imagination? When I came back, I was still holding hands with Qin Qing. How could I have made Qin Qing angry and made her cry?” Chen Ming smiled helplessly and added.

From Chen Ming’s explanation, Chen Zhao quickly captured some key words. The words “Qin Qing’s parents were satisfied”, “officially confirmed relationship”, and “holding hands” were instantly etched into Chen Zhao’s mind.

This also caused his expression to change from serious to excited in an instant.

“Then when are you guys getting married?” Chen Zhao blurted out a question.

“Since you’re already together, some things have to be prepared for in advance. I have to compile and take stock of all my assets so that you can hold a grand wedding!”

This… Was this not a little too early?

Chen Ming shook his head helplessly.

“Dad, we’re planning to date for a while before we talk about marriage. Isn’t it a little too early for you to be dealing with such things now?” Chen Ming said what he was thinking.

“You don’t understand. Everything has to be prepared in advance!”

“Now that both of your careers and the business are doing well, it’s best to handle it now. I’ll be more at ease that way.”

With that, Chen Zhao ignored Chen Ming’s attempts to stop him and carefully started counting his family’s assets. From time to time, he would also muse about the wedding details.

Chen Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He could not stop him. After thinking for a moment, Chen Ming decided to let Chen Zhao do as he wished and went back to his room to rest.

After he returned to his room, Chen Ming took off his jacket and hung it on the clothes rack.

Then, he stretched lazily.

He was very tired after a busy day, and he could barely keep his eyes open.

Chen Ming dragged his exhausted body to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, he was going to merge with his soft bed.

However, just as he was about to fall onto the bed, a strange-looking object on the bedside table attracted Chen Ming’s attention.

The slightly pink thing stood out, and seemed very out of place on the bedside table.

He raised his eyebrows and slowly walked over to the bedside table, picking it up.

After he took it out and put it together casually, he discovered that it was a hair accessory that Qin Qing had left there casually.

Moreover, this hair accessory was broken. Qin Qing had probably put it here because she had not had time to throw it away, or had simply forgotten about it.

Chen Ming looked down at the item in his hand and his mind went back to a few days ago.

His memory had been enhanced by the system. He still remembered that he gave Wang Linlin the phoenix coronet on her birthday. After the birthday party, Qin Qing told him that she also wanted a piece of jewelry.

In that case, he would be able to process one for her today. Fate was a strange thing.

Chen Ming smiled and laughed as he placed the accessory on the table.

After arranging the broken parts neatly, Chen Ming cleared his throat and whispered, “System, process this broken accessory.”

[Ding! Congratulations! The processing was successful! You have received an exquisite brooch.]

After the system finished speaking, the damaged hair accessory transformed into a completely new item.

What greeted Chen Ming’s eyes in its place was an exquisite brooch. The workmanship was top-notch and there were no flaws. The most dazzling part of the brooch was the large diamond at its center, which was enough to prove just how expensive this brooch was.

The diamond glittered under the light, and its beauty made Chen Ming unable to tear his eyes away.

The most special thing about this brooch was that it exuded a faint fragrance. It was special and not particularly strong. Just the right amount.”

Just as he finished admiring the brooch, the system spoke up again.

[Ding! Congratulations! The system has been upgraded.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the garbage processing skill, Upgrade: Quota increased, efficiency increased.]

Chen Ming was overjoyed to hear this.

Another upgrade!

Unknowingly, the system’s functions and level were getting higher and better.

Chen Ming looked at the brooch in his hand and then at the system that had just been upgraded. He felt that today was a good day!

At the same time, he decided to go to the processing plant the next day to test out the skill.

After he had made up his mind, Chen Ming wrapped the brooch, and then laid on his soft bed, allowing it to bring him into the land of dreams.

That night, he slept especially soundly.
