As soon as Song Lan finished speaking, everyone in the living room turned their attention to Qin Yanzheng. Qin Yanzheng's gaze, however, fell on Song Lan, his deep eyes filled with tenderness and doting affection. He said, "It is my honor to be trained by my wife."
Li Jumei stared in disbelief, and the others, even the two little ones, also widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide. At the same time, they felt incredibly full.
If this were the 21st century, Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin would probably think to themselves: "Tsk tsk, what a strong, sour smell of love!"
Song Lan felt her cheeks burning as the man stared at her intently. When she realized that everyone from her elderly mother to her two children was looking at her, she couldn't help but chuckle and cough lightly. Then, she forced a calm expression and gave the man a playful glare: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense, it's the truth. But I'll listen to my wife and shut my mouth now."
The moment Qin Yanzheng uttered those words, regardless of Song Lan herself, Li Jumei (the elder), the usually serious Yang Fan, the gentle and soft-spoken Qin Yaqing, or Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin, plus the two little ones, it seemed as if they had planned it all along.
They all rubbed their arms in unison, with the adorable little boy Xiao Wu taking center stage. He blinked his big, bright eyes, tilted his head to look at Qin Yanzheng, and raised his childish voice, making an exaggerated expression, saying, "Oh! I'm covered in goosebumps!"
The implication is: How cheesy!
To prove his point, the little guy dragged his sister into it: "Little Six, you're covered in goosebumps too, aren't you?"
The sweet-smelling, soft-spoken little girl smiled and nodded her head in agreement.
Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin also cooperated quite well. They ignored Qin Yanzheng's oppressive gaze and crossed their arms, shivering several times in a strange manner.
Faced with this situation, even Qin Yanzheng, with his thick skin, couldn't quite handle it. He narrowed his eyes and squeezed out through gritted teeth at Qin Boyan and the others, "That's enough!"
As a result, Qin Boyan and the others were not frightened, but Li Jumei, Song Lan, and Qin Yaqing couldn't help but chuckle.
Yang Fan forced himself not to laugh out loud, but if you looked closely, you could easily tell from his trembling shoulders how much he was struggling to hold back his laughter.
"Wife~"
Qin Yanzheng turned his gaze back to Song Lan, his eyes filled with resentment and his tone full of grievance: "I need comforting!"
"Okay, no one's laughing at you."
Song Lan stopped laughing. Well, although she didn't laugh anymore, she was holding back her laughter. She looked at the man and said softly, "My second brother and the others are happy for us. They think we have a good relationship. If you don't believe me, I can ask them for you."
With a gentle smile in her eyes, Song Lan looked at Qin Boyan and the others, and asked, "Is what my sister-in-law said right?"
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, whatever you say is right!"
Qin Yaxin nodded vigorously, giving the first response.
Qin Boyan suppressed a laugh and nodded.
The two little ones nodded their heads in unison, adorably echoing their second sister, Qin Yaxin: "Second sister is right, sister-in-law, whatever you say is correct!"
"Did you hear that? Nobody's laughing at you!"
Actually, Song Lan herself didn't believe this, but she had to save face for the man so that he wouldn't feel truly wronged. She would keep a grudge against him in her heart and "punish" him severely later when she gave birth!
Qin Yanzheng didn't expose Song Lan's mistake. His expression returned to normal, but his words were incredibly sweet: "Okay, whatever you say, wife, I believe you!" He didn't seem to think that his words were inconsistent with his usual aloof image.
"Second brother, have you learned it?"
Qin Yaxin glanced at Qin Boyan with interest in her eyes. Before Qin Boyan could respond, she looked at Yang Fan and asked, "Brother Yang, have you learned anything?"
"..."
What did I learn?
Yang Fan was completely confused.
Qin Yaxin laughed out loud: "I really can't talk to you guys. If you can't find wives in the future, don't blame me for not warning you. Just think about what happened just now. Shouldn't you learn from so-and-so how to talk to win a wife's heart? Do you understand now?"
"Who are you talking about, so-and-so?"
Qin Boyan and Yang Fan understood the meaning behind Qin Yaxin's words. Just as they were about to speak, they heard Qin Yanzheng's voice.
"Big brother~"
Qin Yaxin is very adaptable these days. She almost instantly put on a smile and said, "It was my fault. I shouldn't have called you my dearest brother like that. I'm sorry, I was wrong. I hope my dearest brother can forgive me this time!"
Song Lan and Li Jumei laughed.
Apart from Qin Yanzheng, the others also chuckled softly.
"Learn from your eldest sister. She's a perfectly good girl, yet she doesn't know how to be reserved. She's picked up all of your second brother's bad habits, like being a smooth talker. Let's see which guy will dare to marry you!"
Qin Yanzheng's expression showed no sign of anger or resentment; he merely glanced at Qin Yaxin indifferently.
"When the time is right, someone will marry me. And even if no one does, what's the big deal?"
Qin Yaxin raised her chin slightly, looking arrogant, and said, "As long as I have the ability, why should I be afraid of not surviving? This is a new society now, where women can hold up half the sky. There's no need to rely on men!"
"That's well said!"
Song Lan gave Qin Yaxin a thumbs up and then said, "You have to be strong yourself to succeed; nothing beats relying on yourself."
"Sister-in-law, you are not only my guiding light, but also my soulmate!"
Qin Yaxin mimicked Xi Shi clutching her heart, blinking her starry eyes as she stared straight at Song Lan. Seeing this, Song Lan shook her head, amused: "I can't be your guiding light."
"Who said that? My sister-in-law is my guiding light, and she will be for life!"
Like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, Qin Yaxin's expression instantly turned serious. She glanced around at the people present and said, "I will not accept any objections." Her gaze fell on the two children, and she asked, "Do you have any objections?"
The two little ones shook their heads like rattles.
"Second brother, what about you?"
"No."
Does he dare say he does?
Qin Boyan cursed inwardly. If he dared to say that he did, before this brat could even target him, someone would definitely be the first to jump out, grab him by the back of his shirt, lead him into the yard, and rub him on the ground for a good beating!
Qin Boyan glanced at Qin Yanzheng furtively and, seeing that he hadn't been noticed, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big sister?"
You're absolutely right!
Qin Yaqing agreed.
Qin Yaxin asked around and received unanimous affirmative answers, which made her extremely satisfied. Finally, she fixed her gaze on Qin Yanzheng: "Big brother, you agree with what I said, right?"
Qin Yanzheng casually tossed her a reply: "Does that even need asking?"
"Why are you joining in this nonsense?!"
Song Lan's fair face flushed crimson. She gave the man a coquettish glare, then turned to talk to Li Jumei to avoid further embarrassment.
-
The moon was bright and the stars were few outside the window. Li Jumei sat on the edge of the bed chatting with Song Lan. As the two talked, Li Jumei's expression suddenly became serious:
