Chao Chao said with a smile: "I will come back before the New Year."

"Aunt, isn't Uncle Gu at home?"

"He went shopping, he should be back by now..."

Lan An Ning glanced downstairs and saw a figure in the distance. She smiled and said, "Here we go, Jin Yu, go pick up your dad."

Gu Qichen was carrying two large bags of things. He walked to the door and saw Gu Jinyu. He handed the bag to him and said, "You take it."

Gu Jinyu easily picked up two large bags with one hand, "Dad, Chao Chao is here,"

He stood in the yard, looked up at the building, and saw the young man waving at him. A smile flashed in his eyes: "How are your skills now? Do you want to try?"

Chao Chao smiled and raised his hand: "Okay, wait for me to come down."

He just didn't believe it. At the age of fifteen, he couldn't beat him.

......

Lan Anning came out of the room upon hearing the noise. She could have watched the fun, but when she saw that Gu Qichen had no intention of giving in to Chaochao, she couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Gu Qichen, you old thing, if Chaochao gets her face hurt, I'll never forgive you..."

He quickly ran downstairs and stood next to Fu Siyan.

Fu Siyan saw her anxious face and couldn't help but smile, "Aunt, don't worry about Chao Chao, he..."

He looked at the battle situation and didn't dare to say too much. "Even if he can't win, he won't lose too badly."

Lan Anning smiled and kept her eyes fixed on the two of them.

Seeing Gu Qichen looking at her, she glared at him.

The latter curled his lips and took a step back.

Chao Chao did not retreat, but took the opportunity to chase after him.

Seeing the two people fighting again, Lan Anning sighed speechlessly, and said nothing, and went to cook.

By the time the two men had completely dispersed, smoke had already started to rise from the kitchen.

Gu Qichen smiled and patted Chao Chao who was sweating. "Better than when your mother was thirteen years old."

He is just not as vicious as Fu Xiao at that time, but it is also possible that they are just acquaintances.

"If you are acquaintances, you can stop when you are done. But if you are an enemy, you must not show mercy... You must strike the ground immediately, otherwise the opponent may hurt you with a random counterattack."

Chao Chao took the paper from Fu Siyan's hand and wiped the sweat off his face. He smiled and said, "Well, of course."

He looked at Gu Qichen teasingly, "Uncle Gu, my dad told me that my mom bullied you pretty badly back then..."

Gu Qichen snorted, "Didn't your father say that he was also in a lot of trouble?"

He looked at Gu Jinyu, "Jinyu, take the two brothers upstairs to take a shower and change into warm clothes."

Gu Jinyu pulled Chaochao upstairs.

Gu Qichen wiped the sweat off his face and walked into the kitchen, then he went directly behind Lan Anning and said, "I'll help you..."

Lan An Ning thrust his elbow backwards, but the man, who had anticipated this, dodged it with a smile. "An Ning, this kid is eager to fight me. As an elder, I am just giving him some advice."

"You tried your best,"

Gu Qichen was even more helpless, "My Ningning, Chaochao's skills are not a trivial matter. If I don't use my full strength, I will be lying down now..."

He lowered his head and rubbed her neck, "You're worried that he'll get hurt, but wouldn't you feel bad if I got hurt, huh?"

Lan An Ning glared at him and said, "We are already an old married couple, why are you still using this trick..."

Gu Qichen put his arm around her waist, leaning close to her, and said with a hint of grievance, "Ningning, didn't we agree not to mention the word old?"

"Hahaha, okay... let's not talk about it,"

Lan Anning wanted to laugh. Gu Qichen always cared about the fact that he was older than her, but wasn't he the one who pursued her with such confidence in the beginning?

Now I feel inferior again.

"You always tell me not to mention it. Actually, you are the one who cares about this."

Gu Qichen sighed, "I can't help but care. If you go out with Jinyu now, people will say you are siblings. I have wrinkles on my face."

Lan Anning turned around and asked, "Where?"

Seeing him pointing at the corner of her eye, she was a little speechless: "I have it too, okay, these are eye wrinkles, I'll ask Xiaoxiao for some makeup to put on them some other day..."

Gu Qichen nodded, "Okay, help me get some too, I still have to go to Chen Xingzhou to get some maintenance pills,"

Pharmaceutical factories in the northwest have begun selling skin care products in the past two years.

"I can't help them take care of their children for nothing..."

Seeing how much he cared, Lan Anning smiled. When he was pursuing her, his family was against it. After all, he was almost ten years older than her.

But who could blame Gu Qichen for being so shameless? He kept moving forward and she couldn't ignore him even if she wanted to.

Later, he made himself feel more and more secure.

He gives me more sense of security than my brother, so let’s be together.

So what if there is a big age gap? As long as the two people are happy when they are together, it doesn’t matter.

"Okay, go chat with the kids, I can handle this myself,"

Gu Qichen took the kitchen knife from her hand with a smile, "I'll help you..."

While cutting vegetables, he said to her, "I heard from Zhuo Chi that they are going to do business in the city?"

Lan An Ning nodded, "It should be a task given by Shen Xingzhou."

His eyes flickered as he put down the kitchen knife and looked at her with a smile: "Jinyu is also on winter vacation, let him go with them, and we will go to Hong Kong City to play."

"ah..."

She was indeed somewhat tempted, "But what about the children's meals?"

Gu Qichen smiled and said, "Find an auntie who cooks."

Lan Anning was still a little hesitant. It wasn't a good idea to leave the child behind to go out and play.

He made the final decision: "Let's do it this way. Tell the children tonight that I will ask Auntie to come over tomorrow."
