Chapter 195: Much Bigger

Fu Yanlin frowned, "Really? If you feel something is wrong, let's go to the hospital now."

His eyes revealed deep concern, as if he was proving with his actions how much he valued Qiao Jin.

He didn't want her to feel any discomfort or pain, even just a little bit.

"Really, there's no need. Let's go downstairs and don't keep Uncle Fu waiting for too long."

Qiao Jin replied with a smile. Although her tone was calm, one could still tell that she seemed to want to go downstairs as soon as possible and not keep the elders in the family waiting any longer.

"No hurry. Dinner will take some time to prepare. I'll go to the kitchen and find you something to eat."

Fu Yanlin spoke softly. Although his words were few, they were full of care and concern.

Obviously, after seeing that Qiao Jin might need food to soothe his stomach, he immediately thought of a solution and took action immediately.

After Qiao Jin went downstairs, Fu Yanlin took the initiative to go into the kitchen.

The action was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

From his actions, we can see that this man who usually looks extremely cold actually has a very gentle heart, especially when it comes to treating people close to him.

Seeing this, Mr. Fu raised his eyebrows and deliberately smiled and joked: "Oh? Yan Lin is here to cook too? Dad hasn't seen you cook for many years. What are you going to cook?"

The old man's words contained not only surprise but also a little pride, as if he had finally seen a rare side of his son.

Fu Yanlin responded calmly: "Make a steamed egg first."

His words were simple and direct, but one could sense from them that he had carefully considered choosing the most appropriate food for the situation—one that was easy to digest and nutritious.

"We can wait until Mingchen and Zheng Lulu arrive before we start eating. This meal now..."

"It's prepared for Qiao Jin."

Fu Yanlin interrupted his father.

Seeing his son's performance, Mr. Fu's eyes flashed with a smile of understanding.

Obviously he knew that his son had developed some different feelings for this girl. This change made him feel very gratified, but he was also a little curious about the future direction.

"After being in the team for so long, I thought you didn't know how to take care of others. I didn't expect you to be so considerate now."

These words contain both a mockery of past memories and recognition and support for the current situation.

Mr. Fu turned his gaze to Qiao Jin, as if he was treating his future daughter-in-law, with a loving smile on his face, "Little girl, if you are hungry, how about uncle serving you a bowl of chicken soup first?"

Although it was their first meeting, from that moment on, the elder treated Qiao Jin as a member of the family.

Qiao Jin quickly shook her head and said, "Thank you Uncle Fu for your kindness. Let's eat together when everyone is here."

Her good upbringing and modesty were evident in this warm and polite conversation.

"I didn't expect you to be so brave when you were on a mission to Wengjia Village this time. Your father in heaven must be proud of you. Xiao Qiao, keep working hard. I believe you will be great in the future."

Mr. Fu expressed his high evaluation of this younger generation with words full of encouragement and expectation.

This is not only a recognition of the results of their shared experience, but also an expectation for infinite possibilities in the future.

Qiao Jin endured the discomfort in her stomach and forced a faint smile, "Thank you Uncle Fu for your recognition."

Although her physical condition did not allow her to show a brighter expression, her eyes still showed the touch and gratitude after being praised.

Mr. Fu carefully observed the young girl in front of him, secretly admiring her in his heart - this girl looked weak but had a delicate mind, and could become the focus just by sitting there.

Such a young man who looks weak but is actually strong and independent is indeed worthy of respect.

Not long after, Fu Hanla came out of the kitchen with a blue and white checkered apron tied around his waist. This look was in sharp contrast to his usual calm image and seemed particularly unusual!

Ignoring the meaningful look from his father, Fu Yanlin walked straight to Qiao Jin and carefully placed the freshly made, still steaming, egg custard on the table.

At this moment, Qiao Jin felt her cheeks slightly flushed. She took a deep breath embarrassedly and looked at Fu Yanlin in front of her with a somewhat shy look.

The latter, however, still maintained a serious expression and said, "Don't think too much. Whether it's things our father should know or things we don't want him to know, he actually knows them all in his heart. There is no secret that can really be hidden from him."

Hearing this, Qiao Jin suddenly felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly to try to ease the discomfort.

Mr. Fu, who was sitting next to him, crossed his legs in a relaxed manner and said jokingly, "Little girl, don't worry. I really didn't mean to embarrass you by saying that. I originally proposed to adopt you out of sympathy. After all, you have been living alone since your father passed away. Although our Fu family is not very wealthy, we are fully capable of taking care of another relative. But judging from the attitude of my boy, he seems to care about you very much. If you two can get together in the future, you will naturally become a formal member of the Fu family!"

These words are full of goodwill and also imply a hint of hope for the future of the two.

"It's a pity that their mother left this world so early. I remember when I was still in the army, I always had to temporarily settle the children in the military family quarters, and they mainly relied on the help of comrades in the military food department to take care of their growth. However, due to the lack of the meticulous care and education of motherhood, the children were not proficient in handling daily chores, especially cooking skills, when they grew up."

When he said this, Mr. Fu's tone revealed a hint of regret.

After hearing this, Qiao Jin smiled warmly, "Uncle Fu, don't worry too much about this issue. Your children are all excellent individuals, and it will be a natural thing for them to find a suitable partner in the future."

Seeing this, the old man turned to the girl and asked, "So what do you think of our Yan Lin? Although he is indeed much older than you, an old man who has experienced more ups and downs in life usually knows better how to care for another person."

Faced with such a direct question, Fu Yanlin, who was always calm and self-controlled, couldn't help but frown, and hurriedly winked at his father, indicating him not to scare away the shy little girl in front of him.
