Seeing Su Qinghe lower her head and eat her food, no longer looking at him, Qin Ange picked up several slices of meat with his chopsticks and quickly stuffed them into his mouth.

When Su Qinghe looked up, she saw Qin Ange chewing elegantly with his mouth closed.

Despite feeling helpless, she didn't expose him again and ate her meal with her head down.

Seeing that she didn't say anything more, Qin Ange breathed a sigh of relief and gestured to Que'er to put more food on his plate.

While the two were enjoying their meal, there was a restless person in Ji Yuan's room.

"Brother Yu, can you sit down and rest for a while? You're making my eyes blurry!"

Seeing Ji Qingyu wandering around the room, Ji Yuan put down his book and frowned as he asked.

"Brother, how can you still be reading? Aren't you worried at all?"

Seeing her brother still looking calm and composed, Ji Qingyu felt a bit disappointed in him.

"You shouldn't have pulled me out in the first place. You should have let me stay inside and keep an eye on them."

Ji Qingyu pulled over the stool next to Ji Yuan and sat down, staring at Ji Yuan with a distressed expression.

Why keep an eye on them?

Seeing Ji Qingyu's absent-minded appearance, Ji Yuan suddenly realized something and couldn't help but ask a question.

Ji Qingyu looked at Ji Yuan as if he were an idiot.

"Aren't you worried at all that your wife is alone in a room with an unmarried man?"

“I saw it with my own eyes outside just now. Young Master Qin almost grabbed Su Qinghe’s arm, and they were exchanging glances the whole time. He must have taken a liking to her!”

Ji Qingyu's expression became even more excited as she spoke.

"They're still eating alone together now, aren't you just giving them an opportunity?"

Seeing Ji Qingyu getting more and more excited as he spoke, Ji Yuan, unusually, did not interrupt him. He waited until Ji Qingyu finished expressing his thoughts before continuing to speak.

"Young Master Qin is excellent in both family background and character. If my wife really takes a liking to him and wants to marry him, that would be a good thing. Why should I worry?"

Seeing the smile on Ji Yuan's face, Ji Qingyu was furious.

"She is your wife, how can you not feel any sense of crisis, brother? If there is another man, there will be less favor. How can you not understand this, brother?"

He was extremely anxious, and even while sitting, his legs were shaking restlessly, as if he couldn't control himself and wanted to rush out immediately to keep an eye on what was happening over there.

"You yourself said she's my wife, and I'm not in a hurry, so why are you? Does Brother Yu also consider her his wife?"

Ji Yuan raised his voice slightly as he looked at Ji Qingyu and teased her.

Ji Qingyu was speechless, and stammered a little because she felt guilty: "I... I didn't mean it! I was just thinking of my brother!"

Ji Yuan reached out and pressed him down, shaking his head with a smile and asking in return.

"So do you think the wife likes Xiao Xi more, or her brother more?"

Upon hearing his question, Ji Qingyu was visibly taken aback.

After observing Su Qinghe for so long, it seems that she is very kind to Brother Xiaoxi and Brother A, and even to him.

Even if there is a slight bias in one matter, it will be made up for in another matter immediately. There is no such thing as favoritism.

Seeing that he seemed to have made up his mind, Ji Yuan continued.

"Moreover, if both Xiaoxi and I are pregnant, the mistress will eventually have to find someone else to serve her."

"Compared to sending our wives to those filthy places to take care of their business, or marrying someone we know nothing about, marrying Young Master Qin is the most reassuring option."

"But I'm still here!"

Upon hearing that Su Qinghe had no one to serve her, Ji Qingyu became anxious and blurted out what was on her mind.

After realizing what he had said, and seeing the ambiguous smile on Ji Yuan's face, he suddenly felt his head throbbing and his whole body burning up.

"Has Brother Yu finally seen the light?"

Ji Yuan looked directly at him, a smile in his eyes.

"I...I...I just misspoke!"

He jumped up, too ashamed to look at Ji Yuan.

"If you don't admit it, then so be it, brother, I'll just say you're shy."

Ji Yuan reluctantly pressed the person back down.

"But even if, as you say, we can't do it, we still have you, but a man's pregnancy and childbirth last a full seven months."

"If we barely exclude the two-month safe period in the middle, do you think you alone could withstand your wife staying in your room for four or five consecutive months?"

What Ji Yuan didn't say was that, given Su Qinghe's prowess in that area, let alone four or five months, even if Su Qinghe took pity on him and only came every three or four days, his silly younger brother probably wouldn't even last a month.

Besides, he didn't want to wrong his wife by suppressing her anger.

It was only a matter of time before the family had more members; both he and Lin Xi were well aware of this.

Only Ji Qingyu, who was inexperienced in such matters, was completely unaware of the situation and thought that serving Su Qinghe was an easy task.

"I……"

Ji Qingyu was stumped by his question. After thinking for a moment, she realized that her two older brothers always got up very late. If he came for four or five months in a row...

Ji Qingyu shook his head vigorously. What was he thinking? It was outrageous!

Knowing that he had convinced Ji Qingyu, Ji Yuan calmly poured himself a cup of tea.

After talking for so long, he was a little thirsty.

"Go back to your room, brother is going to take a nap."

"All right."

Ji Qingyu nodded sullenly and returned to her room absentmindedly.

The two were very satisfied with the hot pot meal. Although Qin Ange had tried his best to control himself, he noticed that Su Qinghe's mouth was full of oil and she wasn't even looking at him, so he loosened up a bit.

Su Qinghe escorted the man to the entrance of the restaurant, gave the coachman some tip, and watched him get into the carriage.

"Go back and tell your sister that I'm very satisfied with the house. Have her set a price, and I'll visit her again tomorrow."

The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Qin Ange's large head, which was now covered by a veil.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will convey the message truthfully."

He nodded to Su Qinghe, and when he heard her say that she would come again tomorrow, the corners of his mouth, hidden behind his veil, couldn't help but turn up.

"Okay, go back quickly, be careful on the road!"

After watching the carriage drive away from the intersection, Su Qinghe returned to the restaurant.

The following morning, Su Qinghe and Qin Anmin agreed on a price, and the house was eventually transferred to her at the original price.

Because the amount was quite large, Qin Anmin was worried that Su Qinghe's restaurant had only been open for a short time and she might not be able to come up with so much money. He suggested that she could give it to him in several installments, but Su Qinghe refused.

When she presented Qin Anmin with the full payment in banknotes the next day, it truly shocked her.

She worked diligently for a year and earned her salary, but she earned it back in just one or two months after opening the restaurant.

Of course, if Su Qinghe knew what she was thinking, she would definitely say:

"No, some of it was extorted from your Lord Li."

After buying the house, Su Qinghe, who was originally considered wealthy in Tianhe County, had almost no savings left.

This made her feel very insecure.
