Parental Qualification Certificate Chapter 85

Qiao Wangchuan was wearing a shirt, a casual suit, and a dark red silk scarf when he came to pick up Su Yutan, who was scolding Chen Ruoshui on the phone.

Chen Ruoshui had actually printed a few copies of Su Yutan's face with words such as “Su Yutan Zhen Tai” and “Su Yutan Exorcising Evil” and posted it on the door of her house accompanying the door gods.

After posting it, she also made a video and sent it to Su Yutan.

Su Yutan saw that and was annoyed.

“Tear it off immediately, or I will kill you when I meet you!” Su Yutan threatened Chen Ruoshui.

Chen Ruoshui was lying on the sofa, and waved her hands weakly, “I don't need to bother you for that. My mother almost strangled me just now. She said that I would offend both the door gods and you. Now, except the one on the door of my room, ‘Zhong Kui' who is struggling to protect me by himself, she tore everything off.”

Su Yutan hung up the phone and angrily followed Qiao Wangchuan.

When could she get over this emoticon pack?

Qiao Wangchuan looked at Milo, who was behind Su Yutan, and asked her, “Is Milo going with us?”

Su Yutan replied with a smile, “Yeah, in case I get drunk, Milo can carry me back.”

Qiao Wangchuan laughed, “In fact, I can carry you.”

Su Yutan thought, I don't want to be carried by you!

She replied with a smile, “If I get drunk, maybe you would also be drunk by then. How would you remember about me then?”

“How well do you hold your drink?”

“Not good or bad. The key is that I have always been more restrained when drinking.”

The room that Qiao Wangchuan lived in was in 31 Lemon Bridge, a one-bedroom and one-room suite.

The living room of the suite is decorated with window grilles, lanterns, and flowers. The red color of the room made it very festive.

The Holographic TV was playing the Spring Festival Gala. Those not-so-bright-looking but lively programs brought out a strong Chinese New Year atmosphere, Su Yutan suddenly had the New Year feels.

“The windows and lanterns were prepared by my grandparents. They were removed from my suitcase.” Qiao Wangchuan explained casually and took out a box and gave it to Su Yutan. "Hope you like it.”

“Is this a gift?” Su Yutan was a little surprised. She took the box and opened it. It was a dark red scarf similar to the one on Qiao Wangchuan's neck.

“My grandmother said: On the New Year, if you don't want to wear red clothes, you must at least tie a red scarf for good fortune.” Qiao Wangchuan said with a smile.

Su Yutan hung the silk scarf around her neck. She was a little moved, and with a little guilt she said, “I didn't prepare a gift for you…”

“If you want, I would like to ask you to help me draw a portrait to hang it in my new home for decoration.”

“Portrait?” Su Yutan hesitated, and shook her head, “My style is not suitable for portraits. Why don't I help you take some photos? I brought a 2D camera, and those 2D photos are more suitable to be hung as a decoration in your home.”

“That's fine, too.” Qiao Wangchuan said easily, “You are more professional than me in this respect, I will listen to you.”

Su Yutan carefully looked at Qiao Wangchuan from head to toe. “Your face is thin, the contours of your face are very clear and three-dimensional, and you should be very photogenic. The figure is also good, thin and muscular… a good candidate for modeling. Ah, I'm looking forward to it!”

Qiao Wangchuan laughed, “I can't wait to see it! Now, let's eat our New Year's Eve's dinner.”

He walked to the dining table and pulled out a chair for her.

Su Yutan temporarily set aside her expectations and sat down.

Qiao Wangchuan then sat opposite her and pointed to the dishes and wine on the table, “This is what I ordered from the hotel's 24-hour restaurant. I have prepared a little for white wine, champagne and beer. What would you drink?”

“Anything is fine.” In this regard, Su Yutan was not picky.

“Then let's drink wine.”

The two chatted casually while eating.

After eating, they moved from the table to the sofa.

Qiao Wangchuan proposed to play cards to pass the time.

Su Yutan, however, felt that playing cards with a scientifically gifted person was a humiliating endeavor and she resolutely quit. In the end, they decide to play donkey.

This was a kind of poker game that required no skills. Winning or losing the game all depended on luck.

The specific gameplay was; One card is hidden aside as a Tortoise card and the rest of the 53 cards in the deck are equally distributed amongst the two players. The player who starts the game needs to pick one card from the adjacent player's set. If he gets a pair of cards, eg. 2 kings, then he can throw out the pair. The other player would then pick a card from his and so on. In the end, the player who is left with a card with no pair is named the Tortoise.

The loser will take a paper ball from the box and accept the punishment written on the paper ball.

These punishments were very mild, just like 'tell a joke', 'say a tongue twister,' 'sing a song,' 'dance' and so on. It was kind of an exciting game.

After playing a few rounds, Su Yutan was punished to 'sing a song'.

She thought about it and sang a song that she liked very much, “Pray”. “Put a river lantern on the water, put your hands together in your heart…”

As soon as she sang the opening, the smile on Qiao Wangchuan's face quickly disappeared, and he looked at her timidly, as if his work was split by a thunder.

Su Yutan immediately stopped singing, looked at him strangely and asked, “What happened to you?”

Qiao Wangchuan turned his eyes away, and replied to Su Yutan, “Sing it again! I'll tell you when you're done singing.”

Su Yutan could only suppress the doubts in her heart and finish the song.

Qiao Wangchuan listened to her singing the song exceptionally quietly, and even had tears.

Of course, Su Yutan didn't narcissistically believe that this was because she sang too well. She could only guess that this old song of nearly 30 years ago had a special relation with Qiao Wangchuan.

“This is my mother's song. To be precise, this is the song my mother wrote for me,” Qiao Wangchuan said to her.

Su Yutan was very, very surprised.

After hearing Jiang Miaomiao singing the song at the Music Bar that day, she asked Mia to help her buy the original version of the song.

Later, the more she listened to it, the more she liked the song. She soon followed the singer.

She did not know that the songwriter and singer of this song, Joanna was not an unknown niche singer, but a professional singer who was famous 30 years ago.
