Having received what he wanted with great satisfaction, Tang Yulin shamelessly added, "Since all elders have gifts, I, as your uncle, am also an elder. Third sister-in-law, don't forget your uncle's gift when you prepare yours."
Nan Qu's only response to Tang Yulin was: "Hehe."
If Nan Qu hadn't noticed that Su Ruoyan seemed to have a really good relationship with the Tang family, would she have even bothered with him?
Su Ruisheng, on the other hand, was clearly delighted to have become "relatives" with Tang Yulin after hearing that they were family.
Having already realized that this man had no limits to his shamelessness, Nanqu dared not stay there any longer. Using the excuse that they were sleepy after eating, the whole family left the Tang family's house.
After the Su family left, Tang Yulin's expression returned to its usual cold indifference.
"Aunt Zhou, when are they coming back?"
"Commander Tang just called and said he'll arrive this afternoon. But Regiment Commander Tang and Young Master Tang probably won't be back until tomorrow."
Tang Yulin nodded: "What about my second uncle and aunt?"
"Master Tang said he's going to the South China Sea for the New Year and won't be coming back. Miss Tang said that if the old master doesn't agree to that matter, she won't come back."
Tang Yulin snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, then we don't need to worry about it. Grandpa doesn't need to worry about this either. If Grandpa asks, just say we went on a trip."
"OK."
When Nan Qu and her group returned home, Su Ruisheng was still in shock. Having lived under the shadow of power his entire life, it was understandable that he craved power and wanted to curry favor with those in power.
However, he is not the kind of person who, like a clumsy bird that can't fly, lays an egg in the nest and urges the next generation to fly desperately.
So all things considered, it's not unpleasant.
Taking a nap in the afternoon is obviously out of the question.
Not long after she returned, Lin Yaqing was called away to play cards.
Su Ruisheng also received a call, and soon a group of old men arrived at the Su family home. Su Ruisheng said that they just wanted to ruin his almost empty tea leaves, but he asked Su Ruoyan to help him take out the tea set they had given him.
The items were placed on the second-floor balcony. Nan Qu and Su Ruoyan delivered water and food they had bought for the New Year. They also made sure the heating on the second floor was warm enough and there were enough seats upstairs before going downstairs.
"Won't you hate these things?"
Nan Qu didn't quite understand Su Ruoyan's meaning, but then Su Ruoyan continued, "Originally, if it were just you, you could have had a peaceful New Year. You would have preferred to sit alone in the courtyard and clear your mind rather than have such a troublesome New Year. But now, you not only have to cook for the whole family, but also entertain guests. You didn't have to do any of these things before."
Nan Qu nodded: "Indeed, although it's true that this kind of New Year is more interesting and more lively, if I had to choose, I would probably still choose to stay at home alone and relax. The main reason I can do this is because I am your wife now. Doing these things is also fulfilling the duties of a wife."
Nan Qu has no elders, relatives, or friends, so she doesn't need Su Ruoyan to maintain family relationships. Therefore, in this respect, Nan Qu is indeed at a disadvantage.
However, he said, "I don't dislike this kind of life. I've gotten used to living alone, so there's nothing wrong with changing my lifestyle. It's a kind of life experience."
Nan Qu thought this way: her life was long, but these mundane days might eventually disappear into the river of life, becoming only precious memories. So she enjoyed living her life to the fullest.
Nan Qu didn't say anything like "I'm willing to compromise myself for your sake." Such words might seem romantic at first, but over time, they can make the relationship unequal.
She would feel that Su Ruoyan owed him something, and Su Ruoyan would also feel that he should make it up to Nan Qu.
Once a relationship becomes a debt relationship, the bond between two people will be broken the moment the debt is paid off.
Or rather, even if Su Ruoyan no longer loves her in the future, that's it. She doesn't want him to hold on because he feels indebted to her. Nor will she let beautiful memories trap her in the past.
Su Ruoyan was not surprised by Nan Qu's answer at all. This made him understand even more that if Nan Qu was not enjoying her current life, then what else could it be but love for her and her family?
Just as the two were gazing at each other, someone coughed.
"Why don't you go upstairs first and release your pent-up emotions before coming back down?"
Lin Yaqing went to play mahjong, and Su Ruoli took the two children to the lab. Su Ruisheng and the others were upstairs, and now that only the two of them were in the living room, they naturally became a little unrestrained. Of course, they almost kissed, but that was interrupted.
As Nan Qu and Su Ruoyan separated, they saw four or five men of similar age to Su Ruoyan walk in.
Following behind him was Geng Guodong, whom Nan Qu had met earlier that day.
Judging from their appearance, these seem to be Su Ruoyan's childhood friends?
Sure enough, Su Ruoyan looked at the group and smiled slightly: "Why are you all here?" Then she introduced the group to Nan Qu.
After Nan Qu nodded and greeted everyone, he said to Su Ruoyan, "It looks like this is a friendly gathering of friends. You guys have fun, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going upstairs to rest for a while."
After saying that, he left.
These people's attitude seemed very similar to Geng Guodong's, so arrogant and condescending, clearly looking down on her.
She doesn't like to fawn over someone who doesn't reciprocate your kindness.
Of course, she was actually more afraid that she would lose control of her emotions and rub her feet hard against their faces.
Back in the room, Nanqu led the four of them into the space, once again arriving in the cultivation world.
This time, they were smarter. Apart from Little White being too weak to transform, Regar was pitifully confined to the space because he wasn't a native spirit beast.
The gods of this time and space do not allow such a ferocious beast to exist.
Therefore, when Nanqu returned to the cultivation world, she was not only carrying one in her arms, but also wearing a cage bracelet on her wrist and a small fox hair ornament on her head. She also wore a firebird brooch on her chest and a Taotie pendant around her neck.
However, Nan Qu didn't leave immediately after arriving in this time and space. According to the flow of time, several days had already passed for her. In other words, it wouldn't make sense that she hadn't made any progress after so many days of seclusion. Therefore, she quickly entered a state of cultivation as soon as she transmigrated.
Nan Qu was unaware that after she entered cultivation, a pale green light emanated from her body, gradually entering the bodies of the five little ones.
Nanqu's cultivation only requires enlightenment; once she masters the method, her cultivation speed will be very fast.
Cultivation requires sudden enlightenment to achieve understanding, but Nan Qu already possesses far more knowledge and experience than others. She won't experience a bottleneck in the short term.
