"Does Lan'er like this glass hairpin?"
Upon seeing the glass hairpin, Su Xiao couldn't help but glare at her mother.
Didn't he already say that no one was allowed to take anything from the Ning family?
This glass must belong to the Ning family.
His mother is good in every way, except for this one thing: she likes to take advantage of others.
Do you think it's so easy to take advantage of the Ning family?
Who knows, Ning Qiao'er might come looking for us again in the future.
“Husband, I’ve wanted to buy this hairpin for a long time, but I haven’t been able to find it.” Jia Lan looked at Su Xiao and Su’s mother with anticipation.
"Take it. If you like it, then take it." Mother Su's hand, which was holding the gold hairpin, slowly lowered, and she handed one of the glass hairpins to Jia Lan.
"Thank you, Mother."
Jia Lan excitedly took the glass hairpin and fastened it to her ink-black hair.
Under the sunlight, this glass hairpin is crystal clear and extremely beautiful.
Seeing Jia Lan's excited expression, Su Xiao couldn't bring herself to scold her anymore.
His mother did it all for him.
Ultimately, it was he who wronged his mother, as they spent so little time together. Now, finally, they can live together again.
No wonder she wanted to disobey him.
Su Xiao thought to herself.
Su Xiao was unaware of this at the moment.
His imagined happy life will soon completely collapse.
Ning Qiao'er felt like she was about to collapse.
She was hungry.
I'm so hungry.
Her brother is a monster.
Not only did they make her do a lot of exercise, they also didn't let her eat her fill.
Today, the cook made spicy chicken, which is her favorite dish.
This spicy chicken was taught to the cook by my brother.
Speaking of which, my brother is really amazing; he seems to know everything.
"If I listen to my brother, I'll definitely lose weight, but brother, I'm sorry, I'm just too hungry. How can I have the energy to lose weight if I'm not eating enough?"
She has lost a lot of weight.
Ning Qiao'er muttered something to herself and quietly slipped into the kitchen.
"Spicy *** Baozhen?" She swallowed hard.
Two pieces are definitely not enough. "I wonder where the cook is hiding?"
She felt that her parents must have saved some for her, just waiting for her to come and steal it that night.
Where is it?
Is this what you mean?
Just as Ning Qiao'er was concentrating on searching for food, a gentle voice sounded behind her.
Long Yuan swore he must have seen the girl's braid that had been hanging down behind her stand up instantly.
The sudden sound made Ning Qiao'er freeze for a moment.
What is it?
What—a ghost?
Is it in the kitchen? Or is it a starving ghost?
"What do you want to eat? Find something to eat yourself. This is the kitchen, there's bound to be something to eat. But don't eat me, okay? Even though I look fat, my flesh doesn't taste good at all."
"But I think you look delicious."
Longyuan threw a piece of spicy chicken into his mouth and crunched the chicken's cartilage.
Hearing that voice, Ning Qiao'er felt terrified, worried that this person might suddenly decide to kill her too.
"No, no, when it comes to meat, it has to be pork belly with a good balance of fat and lean meat. That's the best way to eat it. Add some of my brother's garlic sauce, and slurp it up." Ning Qiao'er smacked her lips. "Anyway, mine is all fat, it doesn't taste good at all."
"Pfft." Long Yuan couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
Where did this girl come from? She's so funny.
"Here you go." He placed a small plate of spicy chicken in front of Ning Qiao'er.
Ning Qiao'er was taken aback and turned to look.
But in the moonlight, a man dressed in black stood out.
This man was handsome, with expressive eyes. His dark hair was tied up with a red ribbon, which made him look even more dashing.
He stood there as if this were a garden, not a kitchen.
As Ning Qiao'er watched, her face inexplicably flushed red.
This is a very normal reaction.
Long Yuan was used to it. But the next moment, Ning Qiao'er started sobbing.
Long Yuan: "..."
"What's wrong with you?" She started crying for no reason.
"I suddenly thought of my husband."
"So you're already married." Long Yuan said with a hint of curiosity.
Hearing her call him "brother" repeatedly, he thought she wasn't married yet!
Generally, once a woman gets married, she won't keep calling someone "brother."
Even if her husband doesn't mind, her sister-in-law will.
Unless she is at home, and divorced.
"Unfortunately, it's no use getting married, her husband ran away."
"They ran away?" What happened? Long Yuan immediately became interested.
"Young lady, why don't you tell me your story, and we can go get a couple of ounces of wine, eat and drink while I listen to your tales of the past?"
"No need to buy more wine. My brother's wine is delicious, but he won't let me drink too much." Ning Qiao'er pulled out a small bottle of wine from a corner of the kitchen, and then pulled out a few more bottles from several other places.
"My brother said this is called red wine, and it tastes especially good."
"Red wine?" It was clearly wine. He wanted to say that wine should be served in a luminous glass to do it justice.
Unfortunately, glow-in-the-dark cups are not so easy to find.
However, she did bring over two glasses.
Red wine looks just as good when poured into that glass.
Long Yuan was now truly curious.
It's astonishing that a small landlord's family has so many wonderful things.
This is top-quality wine, and these crystal-clear glasses are not something an ordinary farmer could produce.
However, he wasn't concerned about that right now; the most important thing was to savor the fine wine.
When Long Yuan woke up again, he was bound. He was completely stunned and couldn't react for a moment.
"How did you end up in my house?" And you ate all the food I secretly left for Qiao'er.
"Yes, what are you doing here? You not only drank my wine, but you also ruined my food." The old man of the Ning family was heartbroken.
How come all the wine he painstakingly hid is gone?
"I'll settle the score with you later about the wine hoarding."
Ning Hong snorted coldly, his gaze falling on Long Yuan. "Who exactly are you? What are you doing in my house? Especially since you're holding my sister."
His gaze shifted slightly downwards, and he saw Ning Qiao'er fast asleep, her arms wrapped around his waist. Her cheeks were rosy from sleep, and her lips were slightly pouting, making her look rather adorable.
"This is a misunderstanding," Long Yuan said. "We were drunk."
"You mean my sister deliberately got you drunk, then climbed on top of you to sleep, ruining her reputation?"
"What do you mean? You want me to take responsibility?" Long Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Now I have to question her motives. Is it because she wanted to remarry after being divorced, and that's why she got me drunk?"
Long Yuan felt Ning Qiao'er's body suddenly stiffen.
She slowly released her grip and opened her eyes. "Brother?"
She called out softly.
