"This is your younger sister's husband, Gu Changfeng, and these are their children, Da Bao and Xiao Bao."

“This is your eldest brother’s wife, Wang Xinyue, and their child, Ruan Jiahe.”

As Liu Sanmei introduced herself, Lin Rongrong nodded and greeted her.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Ruan Qi'an was in the army and often talked to his parents on the phone.

Besides offering words of concern and greetings, we'll also chat about recent events at home.

When Ruan Qi'an learned that his elder brother was married and even had a child, he was extremely surprised.

At the time, he even asked Lin Rongrong to help buy gifts and send them back to Jiahe.

As for his younger sister's nephew and niece, he cherishes them dearly. They always receive gifts and red envelopes from him during holidays.

"Second brother has good taste."

Looking at Ruan Qi'an and Lin Rongrong, Wang Xinyue thought they were a perfect match.

"Gu Changfeng, you haven't bullied my little sister these past few years, have you?"

"Let me tell you, I came back to stand up for my little sister. Don't let me catch you doing anything wrong."

Ruan Qi'an saw Gu Changfeng standing to the side, went up to him, put his arm around his shoulder, and said in a slightly threatening tone.

"Second brother is overthinking it."

Gu Changfeng dodged Ruan Qi'an's hand, thinking that he was his wife's second brother, and decided to endure it.

Even if he bullies himself, he wouldn't harm a single hair on his wife's head.

"That's more like it."

Ruan Qi'an thought he had intimidated Gu Changfeng and sat down in his chair smugly.

"Uncle."

When Da Bao overheard his grandparents' conversation, he knew that the man in military uniform was his uncle, whom he had never met before.

"Oh my, my dear nephew, how did you know I was your uncle!"

Ruan Qi'an was pleasantly surprised by Da Bao's intelligence; he hadn't even introduced himself to the children yet.

"I just know."

Da Bao opened his eyes wide and proudly raised his head.

Tell me if I'm right or wrong.

"Uncle."

Little Bao, who was hungry and had his attention on the table, called out after hearing his brother's words.

"My little darling, your uncle adores you."

Hearing Xiao Bao call him "uncle" in his soft, sweet voice, Ruan Qi'an's heart, filled with the tenderness of a loving father, instantly overflowed.

How wonderful it would be if he and Rongrong could have such a lovely daughter in the future.

Thinking this, Ruan Qi'an couldn't resist picking up Xiao Bao and gently pinching her chubby cheeks.

"Where is Ruan girl going?"

Shen Yongjun looked around, but couldn't find his beloved granddaughter.

Didn't you just go out to pick up your grandson? Why didn't you come back in?

"Grandpa and Grandma, you eat first, I'll go out and take a look."

Gu Changfeng had just seen his wife go to the kitchen and was about to go over to see what she was doing.

"Changfeng, what brings you here?"

Just as Ruan Qiushui took out the vegetables from the space processing plant and was about to serve them, she saw Gu Changfeng standing at the door.

Ruan Qiushui felt a little guilty, unsure of how much he had seen.

"Okay, I'll help you."

Gu Changfeng pretended not to see it and helped his wife carry the dishes out.

My wife looks rather cute with her guilty expression.

"Little sister, there are already so many dishes, are you still cooking? Isn't it enough?"

The clueless Ruan Qi'an scratched his head when he saw Gu Changfeng bring over two more dishes.

This table of food is enough for their whole family to eat two meals. Ordering two more dishes seems unnecessary.

Could it be that my younger sister has a bigger appetite after giving birth and is eating more?

"Silly boy, this is for you and Rongrong. Your little sister made this especially for you and Rongrong."

Liu Sanmei glanced at her grandson and thought he wasn't as smart as Ruan Yatou.

"Thank you, little sister."

Lin Rongrong stood up and quickly moved the dishes on the table to make room.

Lin Rongrong was deeply moved by Ruan Qiushui's high regard for her.

I thought that when I came to the Ruan family with Ruan Qi'an, we would encounter difficult relatives or relatives who thought they were superior to us, but I didn't expect everyone to be so easygoing.

Grandpa and Grandma, in particular, had no airs of elders at all; they were extremely kind-hearted.

"Qi An, you must take good care of Rongrong."

Since Shen Yongjun and Liu Sanmei were sitting far away, it wasn't convenient for them to serve food to Lin Rongrong, so they could only ask Ruan Qi'an to take good care of her.

This is Rongrong's first time visiting, so we must take good care of her.

"knew."

Ruan Qi'an was very good at taking care of Lin Rongrong.

After all, practice makes perfect.

First, she served Lin Rongrong a bowl of matsutake chicken soup, then she picked out some of her favorite dishes, and finally she even helped Lin Rongrong remove the fish bones.

"Gu Changfeng, did you see that?"

After doing all this, Ruan Qi'an gave Gu Changfeng a provocative look.

If you want to love your wife, you should learn from him.

That's it?

Ruan Qi'an successfully aroused Gu Changfeng's competitive spirit.

Who dares to compete with him to see who loves their wife more?

Gu Changfeng not only served soup and vegetables to Ruan Qiushui, but also fed her like a child.

Is it childish or not?

Ruan Qiushui reluctantly took a sip of soup and simply took the bowl and spoon from him.

The young couple weren't the only ones in the living room; their elders were also there.

Ruan Qiushui lowered her head, feeling her grandparents' teasing gaze, and her face burned.

"Oh."

Ruan Qi'an was also unconvinced and picked up a spoon to feed Lin Rongrong as well.

"Have a meal."

Behave yourself.

Lin Rongrong grabbed Ruan Qi'an's hand, picked up the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp, not giving him any chance.

Wang Xinyue watched the scene unfold, trying to suppress her laughter until her face ached.

The meal was finished peacefully and harmoniously.

The aunt took the children to nap, while the elderly couple personally helped their grandson and Lin Rongrong prepare their room.

Fortunately, we have enough rooms at home, otherwise it would be quite difficult to free up two rooms.

"Second brother, what are your plans after you came back this time?"

Ruan Qiushui called Ruan Qi'an out and turned to look at Lin Rongrong.

"I came back this time to discuss my marriage with my parents."

Ruan Qi'an's purpose was very clear.

He likes Rongrong, so he wants to be with her and give her a home.

I've been putting it off for a while now, firstly because Rongrong's father hasn't given his consent, and secondly because I haven't accomplished anything.

He has now been promoted to regimental level on his own merits, and Rongrong's father has also been influenced by him. So he wants to strike while the iron is hot and officially establish their relationship.

What if my father-in-law suddenly changes his mind?

"I don't know when my parents will have their holiday."

Ruan Qi'an was somewhat saddened.

Last month, he received a call from his parents and assumed they would be home for the Spring Festival, so he brought Rongrong with him.

Unexpectedly, they came up empty-handed; their parents hadn't taken a holiday at all.

"Grandpa and Grandma have called the research institute. In about a week, Mom and Dad will be able to take their vacation."

"Second brother, is your vacation long enough?"

The project research has reached a critical juncture, and at this point, no one can leave.

"A week is enough time."

Ruan Qi'an calculated the time and nodded.

He hadn't taken a vacation for several years, so this time he had a vacation of more than a month.

If Mom and Dad can come back in a week, that's plenty of time.
