Qin Nan didn't understand Bai Hao and An Bei's conversation at all, while Bai Muqiu used her divine power to try and understand, then shook her head helplessly, thinking it was indeed pointless.
Qin Nan put down the box and, together with Chen Qiang, helped An Bei sit on the sofa. They didn't expect Bai Hao and Bai Muqiu to do this kind of thing. Bai Hao would never do it, and Bai Muqiu could, but judging from her appearance alone, she didn't seem reliable.
Chen Qiang took care of An Bei and let him rest for a while. Qin Nan went up to Bai Hao and wanted to ask him why.
Bai Hao said in a low voice, "This matter is not over yet. You will find out when the time comes."
Bai Muqiu, holding a small succulent in her hand, peeked over and said, "Isn't it just that he risked his life to save his ex-wife's current husband? Why beat around the bush over such a simple matter?"
Bai Hao stared back at Bai Muqiu, who raised her hand to cover her mouth and shrank into a corner to poke at the succulents.
Qin Nan pursed her lips to suppress a laugh. It was rare to see Bai Hao make a fool of himself in this kind of situation. However, Bai Muqiu's words surprised Qin Nan quite a bit. An Bei had actually been married, but he probably didn't have any children.
Bai Hao watched Qin Nan thoughtfully scrutinize An Bei and said calmly, "Everything is related to one person. He is just one link in the chain, and he was innocently dragged into it. Of course, it can be considered that he did it voluntarily, otherwise there would be no need for him to get involved in this mess."
Qin Nan: "Everything?"
Bai Hao: "It's a long story, but things are almost over. The last one to be avenged probably won't survive today."
Qin Nan looked at Bai Hao, puzzled. Bai Hao rubbed his head without saying anything.
Supported by Chen Qiang on the sofa, An Bei asked Bai Hao weakly, "He... he's still going to die?"
Bai Hao: "If you knew what he had done, you would regret saving him."
Anbei paused for a moment, then shook his head: "We're even now, I have no regrets."
Bai Hao thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true."
Anbei: "I want to know, who exactly is that person?"
Bai Hao: "Two days later, he will come to find me and want to know if he can stay."
Bai Muqiu, who had been silent in the corner, suddenly spoke up: "Can I stay for a couple more days?"
Bai Hao looked at him and smiled, "Okay."
Looking at Bai Hao's faint smile, Bai Muqiu felt a chill run down his spine. However, he had already checked with his divine power and found it to be just a vengeful ghost from the underworld. He wasn't afraid of that, so was Bai Hao deliberately trying to trick him? Hmph, he was determined to stay and see for himself!
Bai Muqiu got up, carried a box of succulents, and went to the backyard.
Qin Nan took out a first-aid kit from the cabinet and cleaned the wounds of the two people. Although they had quite a few wounds, they were all just cuts and not serious. There were some bloodstains on their clothes, but now it seemed that they were not theirs.
Chen Qiang has remained silent so far, while An Bei fell asleep in poor spirits after Qin Nan treated his wounds.
Seeing that the two were alright, Bai Hao went back to the backyard to discuss matters with Pi Sheng and the others. The matter of kidnapping Qin Nan last time was not over yet!
Qin Nan finished bandaging Chen Qiang's wound. Chen Qiang said thank you in a hoarse voice, and then fell silent again. This was very different from the last time Qin Nan saw Chen Qiang. His eyes were more calm and firm, and he didn't seem as energetic anymore.
Qin Nan: "It's okay, don't worry too much."
Chen Qiang's gaze never left Anbei, his eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.
Qin Nan looked at the two of them: "You... like him?"
Qin Nan's words seemed to touch Chen Qiang, who turned his head and said, "He will always be my master!"
Qin Nan: "He's your master, so why are you afraid of him?"
Chen Qiang was silent for a while, as if speaking to Qin Nan, or perhaps telling himself: "If not, then I have no connection with him whatsoever."
Qin Nan was speechless upon hearing this. If Bai Hao didn't like her, then they had no connection other than that of boss and employee.
In this world, if two people lose contact, they will be lost in the vast sea of people and may never see each other again in their lifetime. Even if they do see each other, they will eventually become strangers.
Qin Nan patted Chen Qiang on the shoulder. He had made his decision and knew what the outcome would be.
Qin Nan quietly packed her things and left for the backyard, leaving them some private space.
Just as they stepped out of the back door of the front hall, Chi Wei came running over excitedly: "Brother Anan, where are Chen Qiang and the others?"
Qin Nan: "It's nothing, they just need to rest. We'll bring them food later, and they'll stay for two days."
Chi Wei nodded: "Then let's go cook, Brother Anan. The table doesn't seem big enough."
Qin Nan laughed and said, "So we won't eat indoors today, but in the yard. There's a large modular table in the warehouse; we can just take it out and clean it."
Chi Wei: "So what are we having for lunch today? There are so many people."
Qin Nan: "It's already past one o'clock. Let's make hot pot, it'll be quicker. We happen to have two large yin-yang pots. I'll prepare the side dishes we have at home. You ask Mu Qiu to go to the supermarket to buy some beef or lamb rolls or other ingredients you want. Remember when we went together before?"
Chi Wei's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.
Once inside, the two began to divide the tasks: Bai Hao and Pi Sheng moved the table, Lü Zeqi and Zhou Miao helped prepare the dishes, and Bai Muqiu and Murong Xue took Chi Wei, Teng Xue, and Xuan Yu to do the shopping.
Tao Xiaolu and Pi Yuan followed Bai Hao to clear the table and prepare stools. Qin Fang helped Qin Nan because he knew how to cook, and made a meal for Chen Qiang and his companion separately, as their condition was not suitable for eating hot pot.
Bai Hao and Pi Sheng's group finished their work first and sat idly in the courtyard. Next were Lü Zeqi and Zhou Miao. The vegetarian dishes were already plated. Qin Nan had prepared two dishes and a soup with rice and brought them to Chen Qiang. An Bei was still resting and would be woken up to eat later.
When Murong Xue and the others returned, each of them was carrying large bags and small packages. Bai Muqiu, in particular, carried the most. As soon as she entered the door, she asked Bai Hao for money, and he, as a guest, actually paid the bill!
Qin Nan had Chi Wei bring his phone to pay, but Chi Wei didn't tell Bai Muqiu, so he had to pay the bill himself, since he couldn't let three children and a girl pay.
However, this time, because there were so many people and so many animals, we bought dozens of boxes of beef and mutton, as well as shrimp paste, tripe, duck blood, and other ingredients, which was quite a big expense.
Bai Hao glanced at him indifferently, and Bai Muqiu's protest gradually faded into silence.
Qin Nan looked at Chi Wei, who was beaming with pride, with a wry smile. However, she also knew that Bai Muqiu was just saying it. As Bai Ze, Bai Muqiu would never be short of money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been happily watching the hot pot soup being cooked and starting to cook the ingredients with the others.
The hot pot meal lasted two hours, and all the dishes were empty. Bai Hao and Pi Sheng had something to talk about, so in the end, only Qin Nan, Bai Muqiu, and the four little ones stayed behind to clean up. After Murong Xue broke two plates, she was taken upstairs by Teng Xue to play.
After Anbei woke up from a long nap, he looked much better. Qin Nan heated up the food that Chen Qiang had set aside for Anbei, and Chi Wei couldn't resist bringing Tao Xiaolu and the others over to play with the two of them.
