"..."

Everyone almost couldn't hold back their laughter at Meng Qiqi's exaggerated acting.

Meng Jianguo picked up Meng Qiqi, took the luggage from Lin Xiuxiu's hands, and nodded to Xiao Yuqin and Xia Lan.

"I'm so sorry to have bothered you for so long."

"No, no, I'll come visit again when I have time!"

Xiao Yuqin quickly responded with a smile.

"good."

Meng Jianguo nodded to them.

"Then we'll head back now!"

Lin Xiuxiu followed Meng Jianguo to the door, then turned back to look at Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin with reluctance.

She really enjoyed her stay with Qin Yu!

I really don't want to go back.

Xia Lan escorted them to the door, watching Meng Jianguo throw Qi Qi into the car, then turn around and carry Lin Xiuxiu into the car, giving her no chance to hesitate.

He twitched the corners of his mouth and waved to them.

"On the way..."

Meng Jianguo nodded to Xia Lan, and before Lin Xiuxiu could say anything, the car sped off.

"……careful."

Xia Lan waved to the military vehicles in the dust storm before turning to go home.

"Look how angry they are, they came straight to arrest them!"

Xiao Yuqin chuckled.

Xia Lan chuckled.

"I simply couldn't take it anymore!"

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but slap their thighs and burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Xia Lan took a six-month leave of absence from school until Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were old enough to eat solid food, at which point she returned to school to continue her studies.

Fortunately, her home is close to the school, so Xia Lan applied to go home at noon to feed her two children.

Xiao Yuqin was taking care of her two children at home by herself. Xia Lan wanted to hire someone to help, but Xiao Yuqin refused no matter what.

Because of the rules set by Xia Lan, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan have a very regular schedule, and they do everything at fixed times every day.

Xia Lan was able to go home at noon to help out. With Xia Lan looking after the children, Xiao Yuqin would have time to cook.

After feeding the two children, they would go to sleep, giving Xiao Yuqin a chance to rest.

When Qin Jun and Qin Yu get off work, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan will be left in their care.

So it's perfectly manageable, and there's no need to hire anyone else.

Xia Lan was persuaded by Xiao Yuqin, and the family stopped hiring.

When the baby was six months old, he was old enough to roll over and sit up, so Qin Yu specially made a playpen for him and laid a thick blanket on the ground so that the baby wouldn't fall inside.

When Xia Lan returned to school, the students who passed by stared at her in disbelief.

The Xia Lan of the past possessed an intellectual and spiritual quality, and an elegant temperament.

After giving birth, Xia Lan transformed from a pure young girl into a gentle and mature young woman.

The same composure, but with an added touch of stunning beauty.

"Xia...Xia Lan...it's been a long time!"

Many male students passing by blushed and asked Xia Lan the question.

Hello, classmate!

Xia Lan had a gentle smile on her face, and her gentle temperament made people feel particularly kind and approachable.

With just that slight smile, it's truly captivating, almost stealing your soul.

"Hello...!"

The male students blushed and dared not look Xia Lan in the eye.

On her way back to the dormitory, Xia Lan received countless greetings.

They only stopped watching the male students when they entered the girls' dormitory.

"You're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

As soon as Xia Lan entered the dormitory, Wu Shishi saw her. Seeing her walk in and sit on her bed, Wu Shishi excitedly ran down and hugged Xia Lan.

"Are you all alright?"

Xia Lan looked at Sudan and the others and asked with a smile.

"Of course it would be great! I just miss your two little ones a bit!"

Wu Shishi replied, and Sudan nodded in agreement.

Apart from the fact that Xia Lan wasn't there and they were a little unaccustomed to it, everything else was fine.

"It's been so long, how's it going between you two?"

Xia Lan looked at the Sultan, and upon hearing this question, the Sultan guiltily turned his face away.

"Hmm? Something's up?"

Xia Lan looked at Zhao Yuexin, who smiled.

"It's going well, and we make time to meet up every week!"

"It looks like we'll be able to drink your wedding wine very soon!"

Xia Lan said happily.

Upon hearing this, Sultan's smile froze, and he shook his head.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Lan looked at the silent group, wondering why they had suddenly fallen silent.

"Bai Xiao's mother came to see Dandan." Wu Shishi pursed her lips, looking rather unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Xia Lan was taken aback. Judging from their expressions, it seemed that the meeting hadn't gone well.

"Her attitude towards the Sultan is alright, but she has another girl with her, who seems to be Bai Xiao's childhood sweetheart!"

Wu Shishi gave a soft hum.

"That girl kept calling him 'Brother Xiao,' and she even talked about their childhood in front of Sudan, saying things like they slept in the same bed and kissed each other on the lips. They were very intimate."

Xia Lan looked at Zhao Yuexin, and Zhao Yuexin nodded.

“Their two families are old friends and they grew up together. Bai Xiao said he treats her like a younger sister, but the girl told me privately that the elders of the Bai family had long believed that she and Bai Xiao were a couple.”

“They grew up together and came from similar backgrounds. She confessed to me that she also liked Bai Xiao very much.”

“My family background is vastly different from Bai Xiao’s; the gap between us is enormous…”

After meeting Bai Xiao's mother, Sudan became somewhat insecure.

Especially since her mother was with that girl, it felt like they were there to intimidate her.

Sultan was probably overthinking things, but she couldn't help but think that way.

Because the girl had made it clear to both families that the elders approved of their marriage.

The appearance of Sudan was outside their plans.

Hopefully, Sudan will back down and not put everyone in a difficult position.

What is Bai Xiao's attitude?

Xia Lan was even more curious about Bai Xiao's attitude.

"Bai Xiao said he never thought about marrying her. He only regarded her as a younger sister. Moreover, his elders in the family always let things take their course and never revealed to him the idea of ​​marriage."

Sudan still believed Bai Xiao's words. After all, the two had talked for so long and had a certain understanding of each other's personality and character.

"Then what are you worried about? If Bai Xiao is determined to marry you, then no matter what that girl does, she won't be able to cause any trouble. He's a grown man, do you think he can be pounced on by a little girl?"

Xia Lan shrugged and smiled at Sultan.

"But judging from her attitude towards Bai Xiao, it seems like she's determined to have him?"

"She's determined to have it, so are you going to give it to her?"

Xia Lan reminded the Sultan, who immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Why should I give up the man I've set my sights on to her!"

"That's the kind of aura she has! How can you let her have your man!"

Wu Shishi and Zhao Yuexin said happily.

Xia Lan had a way with her; she enlightened the Sultan with just a few words.

They all scratched their heads, realizing they shouldn't have tried to persuade her in this way.
