Su Wantang felt a lump in her throat. She stood up, walked to Qin Tian's side, and gently patted his shoulder.

"Uncle, it's not your fault."

Lu Linchuan put down his chopsticks and sat down next to Su Wantang. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uncle, let's go. Our presence here will only cause discord between you and your husband. There's no need to disrupt your family's harmony."

Su Wantang nodded, "Yes, Uncle, let's go back to the island. This trip to the Northwest was to reconnect with my family. Now that I know you are my real uncle, I feel at ease. Knowing that I still have relatives in this world, I have no regrets."

"No!" Qin Tian suddenly raised his head, his eyes resolute. "You've only been here a few days, how can you leave? Absolutely not!"

Qin Tian said, "We've only just become relatives, and we haven't even had a proper chance to get to know each other yet. Once we're back on the island, who knows how many times we'll see each other throughout the year..."

"I want to spend this little bit of time with you and take good care of you."

It was because of Wan Tang that he felt like he had family and a warm sense of belonging to a home.

“Now that we’ve finally reunited, and you’re pregnant, it’s a time when you need to be taken care of.” Qin Tian walked up to her and held her shoulders tightly. “How can I let you leave again? I’ll handle things with Li Xiumei. You two stay here peacefully until the day Lin Chuan’s vacation ends.”

Lu Linchuan looked at his wife, his heart aching terribly. He knew that Su Wantang lacked family affection since childhood, and now that she had an uncle who genuinely loved her, she must feel very warm inside, and also very reluctant to part with him.

"Uncle..." Su Wantang choked up, not knowing what to say.

"It's settled then!" Qin Tian said. "Today's event was meant to welcome you back, but it wasn't a very good welcome! I'll cook you a nice new meal!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen.

"Uncle, there's no need to go to so much trouble..." Su Wantang tried to stop him.

Qin Tian didn't even turn his head. "You're pregnant now, you need to eat more! Lin Chuan has also lost weight, he needs to eat more meat!"

Soon, the sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen. Qin Tian worked efficiently, and before long, the aroma of stir-fried dishes wafted out.

Lu Linchuan gently patted Su Wantang's back and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't let this affect your mood. A pregnant woman's emotions can also affect the baby in her belly."

Su Wantang leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "I just feel sorry for my uncle. It's not easy for him to live in this family all by himself."

"Your uncle did this because he cares about you." Lu Linchuan kissed her forehead. "Let's stay here and make him feel at ease."

More than an hour later, the table was once again filled with dishes. Braised lion's head meatballs, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed sea bass, poached chicken... a total of eight dishes, several times more lavish than the previous meal.

Qin Tian took off his apron and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
