Upon hearing this, Han Qiushi released Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and moved to a position closer to the house, thus unknowingly blocking a significant portion of Lin Xiaoxiao's view.

Since they could no longer hold hands, Han Qiushi and Lin Xiaoxiao grew closer and closer until they reached the front door of his house, where Han Qiushi was almost pressed against Lin Xiaoxiao's body.

Han Qiulin was waiting at the door early in the morning. When he saw his usually steady older brother looking like he was worthless, he thought to himself, "Just as the old folks say, people tend to become fools when they fall in love."

This Lin Xiaoxiao, he admitted, has a certain charm, but how is she so amazing that she can bewitch his older brother so completely?

When they got closer, Han Qiulin took another look and he still couldn't get used to how beautiful Lin Xiaoxiao had become in such a short time.

Putting aside the person, just looking at her appearance alone, with her constantly in front of me, it's hard not to be tempted.

Han Qiulin greeted Lin Xiaoxiao with a smile and called out into the house, "Dad, Mom, sister-in-law is here."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "......"

This kid calls his sister-in-law so smoothly.

When Han Qiushi heard his younger brother call Lin Xiaoxiao that, he quickly looked over to observe the change in her expression. Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao did not have any negative reaction, he immediately gave Han Qiulin an approving look.

As soon as Bai Hehua heard that Lin Xiaoxiao had arrived, she came out with dumplings in her hands, smiling as she spoke to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you're here! Welcome, welcome! Come in and sit down."

"Auntie, I apologize for bothering you," Lin Xiaoxiao replied graciously.

Just as Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she saw a tall, middle-aged man walk out from inside. He looked about five parts like Han Qiushi and stood there with an upright air. Lin Xiaoxiao greeted him politely, "Uncle, hello."

"Xiaoxiao, come in, come in quickly, it's chilly outside." Han's father smiled instantly and spoke to Lin Xiaoxiao.

"OK."

Lin Xiaoxiao's actions were very polite and graceful. She waited until the older people sat down before taking her own seat.

When Bai Hehua saw Lin Xiaoxiao arrive, she quickly found some fine tea to serve as a special guest and brewed it. After brewing, she got up and handed it to Lin Xiaoxiao. Lin Xiaoxiao stood up and took it, saying, "Thank you, Auntie. You don't need to go to so much trouble. I can do it myself."

"Child, please sit down. Don't be so formal. We don't have many rules at home, so just relax." Bai Hehua had been paying attention to Lin Xiaoxiao's demeanor and words and thought that the child was very considerate in her dealings with people.

Neither of the two troublesome sets of parents managed to corrupt Lin Xiaoxiao; they thought Lin Xiaoxiao was quite promising.

Han Qiushi sat down next to Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "Dad, Teacher Xiaoxiao's child is always causing trouble for them. I don't think it will ever stop."

"Is there a past today?"

Bai Hehua's expression immediately turned serious. She had overheard her son mentioning it yesterday and had already asked someone to keep an eye on it, but she hadn't expected this person to be so difficult to deal with.

"They didn't come today, but it's hard to say what will happen once we're no longer in the capital."

“Both he and Huang Lian have formal jobs, so finding them shouldn’t be difficult.” Han Qiushi planned to bring this up now so that any omissions or oversights could be corrected while everyone was present.

"Why make it so complicated? I think we should just have someone put them in there. That way, they won't have time to come out and disgust people," Han Qiulin said with a wicked grin.

"You child, can't you think things through? If the child is in jail, can't the parents not try to find a way?" Bai Hehua angrily slapped her youngest son. She thought Lin Xiaoxiao did the right thing yesterday. Even if she was right, she didn't go too far.

"So what do you want to do? Just give someone a warning about their conduct at work? That's so ineffective, what kind of result can it have?" Han Qiulin complained.

"As I suggested, arrange for him to work in a factory at the grassroots level, out of sight, out of mind." Han Qiushi had thought of this idea long ago. With the emperor far away, even if he wanted to cause trouble, he would be powerless to do so.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought the idea was good, but she would have to wait until she had dealt with the Wen family before taking action; otherwise, the Wen family would continue to cause trouble.

Those around Han Qiushi nodded in agreement with his idea, finding it to be a good idea. Since Zhang Xiaoming had to go to the local area, Su Li and the others wouldn't worry too much, and it wouldn't affect their lives.

That's a great idea.

Han Qiulin laughed and said, "Sure, let him spend the year on the road."

"Let him start from scratch at the beginning, thinking about it, it seems like a good idea."

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly: "Not yet."

"Why?!"

"Because I heard that he still wants to maintain contact with the Wen family."

Han Qiulin: "It wouldn't be the Wen family I'm thinking of, would it?"

"Yes, I need you to help me check their recent movements, as well as the Wen family's current situation and actions. We'll go to the Wen family together and have a good time," Lin Xiaoxiao said to Han Qiulin. She had already cooperated with Han Qiulin twice, and another cooperation would definitely go smoothly.

There might be some additional benefits.

Upon hearing that they were going to collaborate on something again, Han Qiulin perked up. It was precisely because of those two collaborations that the Han family lost a formidable rival, and two family members were promoted as a result. He had made a great contribution to it, and the old man had praised him quite a bit.

He was smugly thinking about things when he suddenly caught his older brother's gaze and instantly composed himself.

Han Qiulin: "......"

Is it inappropriate to work with my future sister-in-law in front of my older brother?

Seeing that the smug little expression on Han Qiulin's face had disappeared, Han Qiushi felt a little better and silently moved a little closer to Lin Xiaoxiao.
