The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 388 The Furious Aunt

Chapter 388 The Furious Aunt

After finally calming down his aunt Mingyu, Li Qin remembered the things he had brought.

With a smile, he picked up the two bags from the coffee table and then said to his aunt Mingyu with a smug look:

"Auntie, these are some gifts I prepared for you."

Upon hearing Li Qin's words and seeing his expression, Mingyu's face immediately showed a loving expression.

His eyes were full of smiles.

She didn't really care about what Li Qin brought.

Mingyu was happy because of Li Qin's thoughtfulness.

In the past, if Li Qin brought something, she might have scolded him a bit, but now that it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Qin said it was a gift.

Although Mingyu was still somewhat worried about Li Qin spending money, she didn't say anything.

He just looked at Li Qin with a smile.

At this moment, Li Qin took out the things he had prepared for Aunt Mingyu one by one;

They were taking things out while explaining them;

"This is perfume, this is for the face, this is for the hands..."

At first, Mingyu watched Li Qin's introduction with great interest, but as Li Qin took out more and more things;

Moreover, just by looking at the exquisite packaging, you can tell that each item is definitely not an ordinary product.

The smile on Mingyu's face gradually disappeared.

Li Qin, who was making the introduction, suddenly sensed that something was off.

He vaguely sensed a sense of oppression.

Li Qin subconsciously stopped his introduction and looked in the direction where he sensed the anomaly.

Immediately, you could see that the aunt, who had been all smiles just moments before, now had a cold expression and a flash of anger in her eyes.

A look of confusion immediately appeared on Li Qin's face, and then he subconsciously asked;

"What's wrong, Auntie? Don't you like these things? I'll get you something else next time."

Mingyu, who was already on the verge of exploding, changed her expression immediately after hearing Li Qin's words and suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Qin's ear.

"What's wrong? Tell me yourself what's wrong."

The pain in his ear startled Li Qin.

To be honest, this is the first time in all the time since he transmigrated that someone has attacked him and left him helpless.

Although Li Qin could use a spell to break free, he did not do so.

Although he saw that Mingyu's face was full of anger, he did not sense any malice.

Moreover, Li Qin also felt that although his ear did hurt for a moment at first, his aunt did not use any more force afterward.

Therefore, he was in no hurry to break free.

At this moment, Li Qin was even more eager to figure out what was wrong with his aunt.

In fact, not only Li Qin was puzzled, but Li Huaide, who was standing to the side, was also full of doubts.

How come everything was fine just a moment ago, and now his wife has made a move on Li Qin?

As Mingyu's wife, Li Huaide was even more aware of Mingyu's affection for Li Qin, which she truly regarded as her own family.

She was always extremely worried about Li Qin, and she wouldn't even say a harsh word to him.

Now that they've started fighting, Li Huaide is eager to know why.

Seeing Li Qin's puzzled expression, Mingyu seemed to be still angry and suddenly pulled Li Qin's ear hard.

Li Qin subconsciously showed a pained expression.

Of course, only three-tenths of it is true; the remaining seven-tenths is all an act.

Mingyu, who was initially angry and wanted to teach Li Qin a lesson, suddenly felt a pang of heartache in her eyes after seeing the pain on Li Qin's face.

He then subconsciously let go of her hand.

However, he quickly put on a stern face again.

"Li Qin, tell me, how much did you spend on these things?"

Perhaps she was truly angry, for Mingyu actually called Li Qin by his full name.

This is the first time since we met.

Li Qin still hadn't figured out why his aunt was angry.

But he still answered Aunt Mingyu's question honestly;

"It didn't cost much money."

Li Qin said with an indifferent expression.

In reality, these things cost a lot of money, but Li Qin's current net worth is several million.

The money he spent on these things was really nothing to him.

Therefore, he remained quite calm.

But upon hearing his words, Mingyu's expression darkened, and she then shouted;

"lie!"

Li Qin quickly waved his hand and said:

"Auntie, I really didn't lie. These things really didn't cost much."

Mingyu glared fiercely at Li Qin, then pointed to the items on the coffee table and said:

"Do you think I don't know anything? I just looked at these things, and you can't find them in almost all of Beijing. Judging from the packaging, they must have been brought from the south."

Now you're saying these things didn't cost any money? That's a lie!

Mingyu, being worldly-wise, could tell at a glance that everything Li Qin had brought out was of high quality.

Some items have packaging entirely in English, so they're clearly not available in China.

Putting aside the intrinsic value of these items, the effort required to acquire them alone is considerable.

Upon hearing this, Li Qin immediately wanted to explain, but Mingyu did not give him the chance.

Before he could speak, he spoke first;

"Xiao Qin, you've only been working for a few months. How much do you earn each month? You're already spending so extravagantly. Don't you know how to manage a household?"

After saying this, Mingyu paused briefly to compose herself, and then spoke earnestly.

"Xiaoqin, your aunt knows you're living alone and don't have much financial pressure, but you can't be too careless about money."

You're already eighteen, and in less than two years you'll be looking for a partner and getting married. If you don't start saving money now, what will you do in the future?

Now that Mingyu had brought it up, how could Li Qin not understand why the other party had been angry?

At this moment, Li Qin's eyes were filled with helplessness.

But a warm current flowed through my heart.

He was genuinely moved.

If it were anyone else, they would have happily accepted the gift, especially if they realized it was quite valuable.

But Aunt Mingyu's first thought was that she was worried he would spend money recklessly.

I'm worried about his future.

These are words only true family members would say, and only true family members would think of him in this way.

Li Qin quickly stepped forward and gently patted his aunt Mingyu's back to help her catch her breath.

After his aunt Mingyu's breathing gradually calmed down, Li Qin smiled and said to his aunt;

"Auntie, I've remembered everything you said, but I really wasn't lying just now. I really didn't spend much money on these things."

Mingyu, who had just caught her breath, wanted to speak again upon hearing these words.

However, Li Qin patted the other person on the back and then explained.

"Let me finish speaking first."

These things are indeed as you said, brought back from the south by someone, and under normal circumstances, they are quite valuable.

The key point is that the people who brought these things back to me are quite close to me, so they didn't have to pay me anything to bring them back.

They didn't even ask me to pay for these things.
