Mu Qing, hounded by marriage pressure to the point of not daring to return home, rented her elder brother's classmate, Ye Junbo, to pretend to be her husband, all for the sake of a peaceful lif...
Lan Zheng went to the Lan family villa. When he arrived, it was dinner time.
When he entered the house, he saw his brother-in-law wearing an apron and coming out of the kitchen with a plate of food in one hand.
His sister sat at the dining table, smiling as she watched her brother-in-law serve the food.
Lan Zheng paused.
He felt that he came here just to be a third wheel.
If he left now, he wouldn't know where to go. He hated everyone in the manor, and he had just left the manor. If he went to the hospital to accompany his old father, his old father would probably want to beat him to death.
It's rare for Dad to be alone with Mom.
Even if he went there, he would just be a third wheel.
After thinking about it, Lan Zheng turned around and wanted to leave quietly.
"elder brother."
Mu Qing turned her head inadvertently and saw her brother standing at the door. She immediately called out to her brother, then stood up and walked towards him.
"Brother, where are you going now? I guessed you were coming back at this time, so I specifically told Junbo to cook later so that it would be ready for you when you came back. Look, Junbo just finished cooking and you came back home."
Since he was discovered by his sister, Lan Zheng pretended to be nonchalant. He turned around and went back into the house, saying, "I didn't plan to go anywhere. I just suddenly remembered that I left something in the car. I'll go get it later."
"Why is Junbo cooking? There are so many workers at home."
Lan Zheng asked casually.
"Junbo said he would cook a delicious meal himself to celebrate my twin pregnancy."
Mu Qing laughed as she spoke. Ye Junbo was truly happy.
In fact, ever since she became pregnant, he has been living in a honey jar every day.
He likes children very much.
Lan Zheng nodded, "It's time to celebrate."
The brother and sister walked to the dining table.
Not seeing Xiao Niupitang, Lan Zheng asked, "Where's Long Ting?"
"He fell asleep. He had porridge before going to bed, so he wouldn't starve. I left a bowl of porridge on the stove to warm it up. I'll feed him when he wakes up."
"He's big enough now, you can feed him."
Mu Qing explained, "I asked him what he wanted today, and he said porridge, so I made him bone porridge."
Long Ting can now speak some simple words.
Lan Zheng did not continue talking about this topic.
"Is everything going well?" Ye Junbo brought out two more dishes, put them down, and asked Lan Zheng with concern.
"There's no resistance now. They're guilty as thieves, and they know it very well."
Lan Zheng got up, went into the kitchen to wash his hands, and helped bring out the dishes.
Mu Qing loves to drink soup, so Ye Junbo naturally made the soup she likes for his beloved wife.
Lan Zheng helped his sister fill a bowl of soup, and Mu Qing said, "Brother, I'll do it myself."
"This soup is still very hot. I'm afraid you'll get burned." It was freezing cold outside, but there was heating inside, so I didn't feel cold.
After helping his sister serve the soup, Lan Zheng took off his coat and casually placed it on the back of the chair.
He also poured himself a bowl of soup, and Ye Junbo let him help himself.
"Dad is not here now, and now you are here. Will they take the opportunity to escape?" Ye Junbo has become accustomed to his brother-in-law only serving soup to Qingqing and not serving him a bowl. Whether it is Lan Zheng or Mu Zhiyuan, they are all like this.
She is so open-hearted to her sister that she wants to help her solve everything. As for her brother-in-law, she wants to let him do all the things.
"I called Dad on the way back, and he'll take care of it."
Of course, Lan Zheng also knew that his second and third uncles would not surrender just like that.
They will definitely make a last-ditch effort and naturally seek help from their grandparents.
Lan Zheng is the grandson, so he can't confront the two elders forcefully, so he can only leave it to his father. Besides, his father is the head of the family, so this is something his father should handle.
"The soup Junbo made is quite delicious. When you go back, make more nourishing soup for Qingqing. She's eating alone now, but it takes three people to digest. But don't overdo it. It will make the baby too big and make it difficult to give birth."
Although Lan Zheng was still unmarried, after his sister became pregnant, he would occasionally flip through the pregnancy-related books that his father had passed on to his brother-in-law, and he could remember some of the content.
While saying that, Lan Zheng kept helping his sister pick up food, saying, "Qingqing, eat more. Don't starve."
"Brother, stop helping me pick up food. My bowl is piled high like a mountain. Just pick up what I want to eat myself."
Mu Qing was quite helpless, but also full of happiness.
She had an accident when she was a baby and almost died. Fortunately, she was picked up by her adoptive father and taken home. After that, her life was really smooth sailing and she was so happy that people envied and hated her.
Whether it was her adoptive parents or her biological parents, they all treated her as the apple of their eye. After she married into the Jun family, her husband doted on her like crazy.
She returned to Wangcheng originally to help her father and brother, but in the end, her help was not needed. When danger came, her father sent her away first for fear that she would get hurt.
Mu Qing felt that she was God's favorite, and that God had given her so much and so much good.
Ye Junbo pushed his bowl in front of his brother-in-law and said with a smile: "Brother, my bowl is still empty. Qingqing doesn't need you to help her pick up some food. Why don't you pick it up and put it in my bowl?"
"Go to hell, it's fine if you don't take care of Qingqing, but you still want me to take care of you, no way."
Ye Junbo chuckled, "Whether it's Zhiyuan or me, as long as the two of you are here, I won't have the chance to be considerate to Qingqing."
"Are you dissatisfied with me being a light bulb?"
"How dare I."
Lan Zheng snorted, "I don't think you'd dare."
Ye Junbo felt that he would be suppressed by his two brothers-in-law for the rest of his life.
"Qingqing, you and Junbo will go back to City A tomorrow, right?"
Ouyang Yu and Yang Xi's wedding is about to take place, and Lan Zheng is also remembering the date.
After all, he and Ouyang Yu have become friends, and he owes Ouyang Yu a favor. Ouyang Yu came in person to participate in the blue and black battle.
Lan Zheng will not be able to repay this favor in a short time.
"Well, we'll go back after Dad is discharged from the hospital." Mu Qing finished the soup and wanted to have another bowl. She wanted to serve the soup herself, but the two men rushed to help her. In the end, she gave the bowl to her husband.
Ye Junbo was very happy.
Lan Zheng curled his lips and muttered to himself: He's even rushing to do the job of serving others!
Isn't he the same?
"Brother, do you need me to bring the wedding gift to Xixi and Ouyang Yu for you? Or can you rush over in a couple of days, on their wedding day?" She remembered that her brother originally wanted to be Ouyang Yu's best man.
Eldest brother Mu Zhiyuan also served as best man.
Mu Zhiyuan and Ouyang Yu used to be classmates, but he often took the high-speed train home with Ye Junbo, so he didn't have much friendship with Ouyang Yu.
It was only after Yang Xi and Ouyang Yu got together that the relationship between Mu Zhiyuan and Ouyang Yu improved.
Lan Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll see what happens. But I'll ask you to take the gift over for me first. If I don't have time to go over and miss Ouyang Yu's wedding gift, he'll scold me to death."
