Upon hearing her request, Lin Wan smiled and said softly, "Okay, okay, I'll call your brother right now and ask him to buy some groceries on his way back."

Qian Rou obediently replied, "Okay, sister-in-law!"

However, at that moment, Wang Hu suddenly whispered in her ear, "Why didn't you stop him? If Song Mingyuan comes back, your plan will fall through."

Upon hearing this, Qian Rou shook her head slightly and replied confidently, "There's no way you can get through. After you humiliated him like that yesterday, he must have found somewhere to vent his emotions. He'll definitely be sleeping all day today!"

As expected, just as Qian Rou had predicted, Lin Wan returned shortly after, looking at her with suspicion, and said, "That's strange, why can't I get through to your brother's phone?"

Seeing this, Qian Rou quickly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, my brother might have some things to do, so don't trouble him to come all the way back. Let's just cook a few dishes and have something to eat!"

Lin Wan's gaze involuntarily turned to Wang Hu, after all, today's main purpose was to entertain him.

However, every time she looked at him, she felt that he seemed to have a special charm that was hard to ignore.

Wang Hu seemed to notice Lin Wan's gaze, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he said, "It's alright, sister-in-law, I think the same way as Rou Rou."

This smile was like the spring sunshine, warm and gentle, yet carrying a hint of unfathomable depth.

Lin Wan's heart skipped a beat, as if something had been touched in an instant.

Qian Rou and Lin Wan went into the kitchen together to prepare dinner, leaving Wang Hu to wander around the spacious villa alone.

Before long, Wang Hu's gaze was drawn to a photograph placed on the table.

In the photo, Lin Wan and Song Mingyuan are standing with a cute little boy.

Despite the heartwarming appearance of the photo, Wang Hu couldn't find any trace of the child's life in the villa.

This discovery aroused Wang Hu's suspicions, and he couldn't help but wonder if the little boy was Lin Wan and Qian Rou's child.

After all, if it really is their child, why can't we see the child's personal belongings in this villa?

Filled with questions, Wang Hu finally couldn't help but ask Lin Wan during dinner. Upon hearing this question, Lin Wan's mood visibly somber.

After a moment of silence, Lin Wan slowly began to speak: "That was my son. He was born with congenital heart disease. Although we tried our best to treat him, he unfortunately passed away when he was three years old..."

Seeing this, Qian Rou immediately pouted and glared at Wang Hu, scolding him for asking such a question.

She gently comforted Lin Wan: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad. It's been so long since then. We're still young, we can have another child later!"

Lin Wan shook her head slightly after hearing Qian Rou's words, as if she had something difficult to say. Her words stopped abruptly, which aroused Wang Hu's curiosity.

He secretly speculated that either Song Mingyuan had a health problem that prevented him from having children, or he disliked Lin Wan and therefore did not want to have any more children.

However, Wang Hu secretly thought that Song Mingyuan was more likely to be impotent. After all, who would bear to leave such a beautiful woman like Lin Wan alone at home?

Just then, Qian Rou suddenly spoke up, "Sister-in-law, let's not talk about those unpleasant things anymore! Do you have any wine here? How about we have some wine and relax?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan couldn't help but feel a surge of desire to drown her sorrows in alcohol. So she smiled and replied, "Yes, they were all gifts from others!" With that, she stood up and walked towards where the drinks were kept.

Not long after, Lin Wan returned to the living room with two beautifully packaged white porcelain Moutai bottles.

Upon seeing this, Qian Rou exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, it's Moutai! Sister-in-law, we're really lucky to have you here today!"

Watching this scene, Wang Hu secretly sighed, "Qian Rou is really a good actress!"

After filling the glass to the brim, Qian Rou raised her glass first, beaming, and said, "Come on, let's toast to our meeting today!"

Seeing this, Wang Hu and Lin Wan also raised their glasses, clinked them together lightly, and then tilted their heads back and drank them down in one gulp.

As the drinks flowed, the atmosphere among the three became noticeably more relaxed, and the conversation gradually became more open.

A blush crept onto Qian Rou's face. She turned slightly to the side, leaned close to Lin Wan's ear, and whispered, "Wang Hu is good in every way, except that he's too strong in that area. I can't handle him!"

Wang Hu's ears were as sharp as radar; he heard Qian Rou's words clearly. A sense of pride welled up inside him, but on the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant and continued chatting and laughing with the two of them.

When his gaze inadvertently met Lin Wan's, he was surprised to find that a strange light suddenly shone in Lin Wan's eyes, a gaze full of curiosity and longing.

However, this glimmer of light was fleeting. Lin Wan seemed to realize something and quickly lowered her head, a hint of disappointment showing on her face.

Lin Wan's voice was very soft, almost audible only to Qian Rou. She whispered to Qian Rou, "It would be so much better if your brother were more capable!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Rou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and she said, "Are you not satisfied, sister-in-law? How about I lend you Wang Hu for a while!"

Lin Wan's face flushed red instantly. She playfully pushed Qian Rou and said, "Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Then, she glanced at Wang Hu, seemingly casually, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't seem to be acting strangely.

Then, Lin Wan whispered in Qian Rou's ear, "Little girl, this is your boyfriend!"

Qian Rou was also silently observing Lin Wan's every move. She keenly noticed Lin Wan's subtle changes and thought to herself, "Judging from this situation, Lin Wan is probably tempted."

Qian Rou did not continue the topic, because she knew that some things should be left unsaid, as going too far might backfire.

The two chatted for a while longer when suddenly, a crisp cell phone ring broke the silence. Qian Rou quickly picked up her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and then said to Lin Wan, "Sister-in-law, you and Wang Hu keep drinking, I'm going to take this call."

After she hung up the phone, a look of urgency appeared on her face. She turned to Lin Wan and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I have something urgent to attend to and I have to go now."

Then she said to Wang Hu, "Take good care of my sister-in-law for me!" She even winked at Wang Hu in a subtle way.

Wang Hu, who was standing to the side, was somewhat surprised to see this.

He had clearly heard Qian Rou's voice on her phone: "Song Mingyuan has been found. Sister Rou, are you coming now?"
