Just as Nan Qing was about to reply to her father, she saw him looking at her with a very strange gaze, scanning her up and down.

She looked down at her clothes; there was nothing wrong with them...

Didn't you just compliment me on how nice I looked today?

Nan Qing looked at her father with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Is there something wrong with me?

Mr. Sang coughed lightly, looked away, and then looked down at the bouquet in his hands again. He deftly cut a diagonal slice with the scissors, and said:

"It's okay, Dad is just worried that you'll be too tired to do live streams so late every day."

Although it seemed that wasn't the case, Nan Qing didn't press further and replied:

"I'm fine, I'm not tired at all. Dad, you know me, I'd rather wrong myself than wrong anyone else."

At this moment, a young and steady voice came from behind them: "Yes, yes, our little princess would never wrong herself."

Nanqing turned around and saw her brother, Sang Nanchen, leaning against the door frame, shaking a bottle of red wine in his hand, with a suspicious purple stain on his shirt cuff.

She guessed that her brother had definitely stolen some blueberry tarts from her again!

Nan Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:

"Brother, did you sneak into the kitchen to eat the blueberry tart again?!"

Every time she came back, her mother would order the kitchen to make blueberry tarts, and her brother would always sneak a bite behind her back!

Upon hearing this, Sang Nanchen immediately straightened his face and said in a deep voice:

"Nonsense! How could I possibly steal food!"

Nan Qing pointed directly at his cuff, and he glanced down at the stain, still self-righteously stating:

"I got this on my skin while tasting red wine!"

Nan Qing tilted her head and snorted coldly. She didn't believe it at all; that was clearly the color of blueberry jam!

Sang Nanchen stepped forward, put his arm around his younger sister's neck, and led her upstairs while speaking softly:

"Alright, alright, come on, let's see what interesting things your brother has brought you this time. I promise you'll like them!"

Nan Qing wasn't actually angry; she just wanted to make her brother anxious. So she followed her brother's lead upstairs, but she still remembered to turn around and say goodbye to her parents before leaving the flower hall.

Dinner was served very early, with a whole table of dishes, most of which were Nanqing's favorites.

The family of four enjoyed delicious food, sipped red wine, and chatted about everyday things, feeling incredibly happy and warm.

This is her home in this world.

Warm, lively, full of love and laughter.

She likes it very much!

Around 6 PM, Nanqing posted a message on her account, asking her fans for a day off, saying that she had something to do tonight and would go live tomorrow.

She was having a great time chatting with her family, but Xiao Mobai was going crazy!

He had been glued to his phone, searching for various flirting tips, when suddenly his phone emitted a notification sound indicating he was being followed.

It's Qingqing!

Qingqing posted an update~

Xiao Mobai's eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked on the message pop-up. However, the message displayed on his phone soon made him visibly disappointed.

[Sweetie: I have something to do tonight, so I won't be live streaming. See you tomorrow! [Image]]

So... he won't be seeing his wife today?

What will he do then?

Even Zhou Hui, who was playing a racing game next to Xiao Mobai, could feel Xiao Mobai's low spirits, but when asked what was wrong, he just drooped his eyes and said nothing was wrong.

Xiao Mobai looked at his phone screen again, read Nan Qing's message several times, and then clicked on the three pictures she had posted, wanting to learn more about her daily life.

The first picture is of a sumptuous meal: braised beef brisket, steamed grouper, braised prawns, mapo tofu, spicy chicken, spicy beef...

There were several bright red spicy dishes on the table. It seems my wife likes spicy food. Hmm, he'll remember that!

The second photo shows four wine glasses clinking together, the crystal-clear glass walls reflecting the warm yellow light, creating a cozy and lively atmosphere.

And also... his wife's hands are so beautiful!

It's white and looks so soft, it must feel so comfortable to hold!

The third picture is a selfie of his wife. She's resting her chin on her hand, a slight smile playing on her lips. The dark green tank top makes her skin look like snow. Perhaps because she's had some wine, her cheeks are slightly flushed—so cute...

Ahhhhh, how can his wife be so cute?!

Holding his phone, Xiao Mobai kept zooming in on the photos, his smile practically reaching his ears.

However... his smile didn't last long. When he finally noticed the large hand resting on his wife's head, his smile froze completely.

He zoomed back in on the photo to see the full view. This time, he wasn't blinded by Nan Qing's presence. He immediately noticed the large hand on his wife's head and the lower half of her face that was in the frame.

The other person in the photo has a clearly visible Adam's apple; he is a man!

There was a man who put his hand on his wife's head, and he got so, so, so, so close!!!

Who is that man?

Is he his wife's boyfriend? Or his wife's husband?

Xiao Mobai's fingers tightened unconsciously, his eyes fixed intently on the half-face and the hand in the photo, countless thoughts flashing through his mind...

What is their relationship?

Why are they so close?

She's not going to stream tonight... is it because she's spending time with him?

What if he's his wife's boyfriend or husband?

His wife doesn't want him anymore?

The thought of this possibility made his heart clench; it hurt terribly...

But the pain in his heart was nothing compared to the pain in his eyes; that hand and that half of his face were stinging his eyes...

After a long pause, those tightly pursed lips finally uttered their first words:

"His smile is so fake, he's obviously a scumbag!"

After he said that, Xiao Mobai seemed to have unlocked his full potential. He zoomed in on the photo until every pixel was clearly visible, and squinted as he continued to nitpick.

"He's dressed so casually for a girl; he's obviously not a decent person!"

"She even put her hand on someone's head! Can't she see that's Qingqing's carefully styled hair?? So careless! Thumbs down!!"

"The watch she's wearing is an old model; her taste is terrible!!"

"And this is ridiculous! A grown man, why does he work like that for nothing? He can't stand hard work, what a sissy!"

"A grown man wearing a necklace? Ha, how unreliable!"

He looked at that hand and half a face and was able to find several faults in the person. After venting his anger, Xiao Mobai saved the photo back to his phone, edited it, and cropped out the man!

He smiled with satisfaction when he saw that only his wife's face was in the photo.

His wife should be in the same frame as him!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mobai immediately sent Nan Qing's photo to one of his WeChat contacts, and also sent a photo of himself.

[Photoshop the people in these two photos together, like in a couple's photo.]

[No, it's a photo of the couple!]

After sending the message, he went back to his photo album and stared at Nan Qing's picture, grinning like an idiot...
