Gu Qian pursed his lips and remained silent, but Gu Xiaoran was displeased.
"Father, Mother, let's go home together once things are clear. I don't like it here."
Gu Xiaoran thought to himself, "Look at what kind of terrible idea Aunt Ling'er came up with. I don't want to stay in this Shangjin City where I feel no sense of belonging."
Having said that, he tugged at Qiu Ling'er's sleeve.
"Auntie, there's another delicious food stall over there, let's go check it out."
"Okay," Qiu Ling'er replied with a smile, but secretly she was chuckling to herself, thinking, "What a glutton!"
A bitter expression flashed across Gu Qian's face.
Qiu Yan watched Gu Xiaoran and the other person's figures and sighed softly.
Poor child,
She wondered if Gu Xiaoran's harmless nature could adapt to the palace intrigues.
If she can't adapt, what will Xiao Ran do when He Lin loses all his power?
As Qiu Yan pondered, a sense of melancholy welled up within her.
Sigh, why has she become so sentimental since becoming pregnant?
"Yan Yan, don't think too much. Trust Xiao Ran." Gu Qian took Qiu Yan's wrist, which calmed her uneasy heart.
“Yes, I believe him.” The two held hands and followed Qiu Ling’er and Gu Xiaoran step by step.
The streets were bustling with people.
As the year draws to a close, the people here are busy preparing for the New Year.
Looking at the endless stream of people, Qiu Yan decided to buy some New Year's goods.
Gu Xiaoran chewed on her newly bought peanut candy, darting through the crowd.
Seeing the vendors hawking their wares along the street, one person bought a skewer of candied hawthorns.
He took a string of sticks for himself, separated three, and handed them to Qiu Ling'er, Qiu Yan, and Gu Qian respectively.
"Auntie, Daddy, Mommy, you guys try them and see if the candied hawthorns from Shangjin City are better, or the ones from Baiyang are better."
Gu Qian turned his head and waved to Gu Xiaoran, "Xiaoran, how old are you?"
Gu Xiaoran has been a glutton for delicious food since she was a child.
Qiu Yan stepped forward, without saying how much she loved the candied hawthorn.
But seeing it today, I'm really craving it.
She reached out to take it, but Gu Qian snatched it away, took a bite, and chewed it.
In an instant, his expression changed, and he stuffed it into Gu Xiaoran's hand.
Too sour
He said, "Of course, Baiyang's tastes better."
His expression made Qiu Ling'er burst out laughing, and she tried one too.
It's sweet and sour, so delicious.
Qiu Yan: "Gu Qian, my candied hawthorn." She wanted something sour.
"Father, didn't you say you weren't going to eat any?" Gu Xiaoran chuckled, reaching for another string of candied hawthorns to hand to Qiu Yan, but Gu Qian slapped her hand away.
“Your mother is pregnant, how can she eat this?”
Qiu Yan... it was her oversight.
Why is it so hard to eat candied hawthorn?
Gu Xiaoran chuckled awkwardly. Pregnant women can't eat candied hawthorns? This was the first time he'd ever heard of such a thing.
Qiu Ling'er secretly chuckled to herself, envying her sister and brother-in-law's deep affection for each other.
"Sister, you just go and be with your brother-in-law. After you have your child, Ling'er will take care of it for you."
Qiu Yan, this younger sister,
"Ling'er, are you not planning to get married?"
"I—" Qiu Ling'er paused, her pretty face lowered as she said in a low voice:
"Sister, you should worry about brother's marriage first."
After saying that, she ran to the front of the line.
Qiu Yan had a complicated story to tell, but she wasn't worried about A Xu. In the future, it would be her sister-in-law entering the Qiu family, and she only needed to keep a close eye on things.
As for her younger sister, if she doesn't find a good husband, she will also be sad.
Gu Xiaoran eagerly followed behind Qiu Ling'er.
"Auntie, I think Zhou Zifang treats you quite well. He seems to like you a lot." Gu Xiaoran smiled, but was met with a sharp rap on the head by Qiu Ling'er.
