Ye Weiwei let out a soft hum as someone hugged her tightly from behind.
"Wow, my guild leader, you're always attracting unwanted attention wherever you go! I've only been away from you for a few days, and you're already flirting with other women!"
Qin Xiao felt genuinely wronged: "I'm not taking the blame for this. I don't even know that woman's name! How am I supposed to know what's wrong with her that she came to greet me and acted like we were old friends?"
"My love, my sincerity towards you is as clear as day! Besides, look at any woman, from head to toe, how can she compare to you?"
Ye Weiwei deliberately nitpicked: "So you're saying that as long as there's someone better than me, you're fine with it?"
Qin Xiao: "Wife, you can't be unreasonable. That's not what I meant!"
Ye Weiwei sneered, "I'm not going to be reasonable, so what can you do about it?"
Qin Xiao: ...
"Whatever you say, wife, is right! What you say is always true!"
Seeing his submissive demeanor, Ye Weiwei, despite knowing he was deliberately playing the victim to amuse, couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile. "Hmm, a promising young man."
Seeing that Ye Weiwei was no longer angry, Qin Xiao immediately got to work.
First, she poured a cup of hot water, added two spoonfuls of brown sugar, stirred it, and gave it to Ye Weiwei. Then she prepared hot water for Ye Weiwei to wash her face and hands so that she could wash herself easily. Finally, she made up the bed for Ye Weiwei so that she could sleep and rest.
"You should get some rest first. I'm going to work now. I'll make you something for dinner if you want!"
Ye Weiwei lay down on the bed and yawned. "No need for all that trouble. Just eat at the cafeteria. When you're done, bring me a serving back."
Qin Xiao was not about to let her suffer. He would have let it go on other days, but today was his day off, and his wife had just had major surgery, so he had to make her something nice to eat to help her recover.
"Then I'll see what I can do."
The old rooster raised by the head cook is provided; it's enough for two people, along with some chicken noodle soup.
While inspecting the work, Old Master Qin, completely ignored by him: ...
This unfilial son has been ignoring him for a long time; he's gotten used to it!
Ye Weiwei slept for more than two hours and her energy had fully recovered, but she was too lazy to move while lying in bed.
Hearing that Qin Xiao had returned and was busy preparing dinner, Ye Weiwei rubbed her head against the blanket and smiled contentedly.
After Qin Xiao finished stewing the chicken, he used the chicken broth to make chicken noodle soup. Just as the noodles were ready, he was about to call his wife to get up for dinner when he heard a knock on the door.
His adopted father, whom he had taken in halfway through his life, appeared on his family's dining table right on cue.
"Hmph! You made something delicious but didn't even call me, your old man! You're something else!"
Old Master Qin smelled the aroma of chicken filling the room and deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction.
He already knew from others that this brat had stolen a chicken from the mess hall to take home and cook, but after waiting for a long time, the brat still hadn't come to call him home for dinner, so he had no choice but to come looking for him himself!
Qin Xiao said coldly, "Aren't you already here?"
You dare to say that when you show up uninvited!
However, he genuinely didn't know that Old Master Qin was still in the army; he thought the man had already gone back.
Old Master Qin replied matter-of-factly, "What else can we do? We can't sacrifice our own stomachs just to save face!"
Qin Xiao's lips twitched.
When Ye Weiwei heard that Grandpa Qin had arrived, she quickly tidied herself up and came out.
When Grandpa Qin saw Ye Weiwei, his confrontational attitude towards Qin Xiao vanished completely. He smiled and asked with concern, "Weiwei, how was your rest?"
Ye Weiwei said, "It's alright, I'm just worried that if I sleep too much during the day, I won't be able to sleep at night."
Seeing that she looked well, Old Master Qin said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you this time."
Ye Weiwei dismissed it: "It's nothing serious. Besides, didn't you come here to stand up for me?"
Old Master Qin laughed heartily: "How can we, the Qin family, be bullied like this! That Yao family is no good; Yao Qingchuan's parents are two idiots!"
If it were truly for the good of their own child, why would they be foolish enough to offend the attending physician?
These people are just too scheming, selfish, and always calculating their own gains and losses. They are also short-sighted. What kind of good children can such people raise?
And then there's Yao Qingchuan. Although he brought back important intelligence this time, if he hadn't been so eager for quick success and made such poor arrangements, the entire team wouldn't have been lost.
Ye Weiwei: "Anyway, I won't care about Yao Qingchuan's injury anymore. They're so capable, let them mess around on their own."
Grandpa Qin: "Yes, that's my attitude too. You've done enough. Since they don't appreciate it, there's no need to be accommodating."
If Yao Qingchuan hadn't been wearing that green outfit, even Zhong Lao wouldn't have had the nerve to call them in the middle of the night.
"Is my cooking not fragrant enough?" Qin Xiao looked at Old Master Qin with displeasure. "Eat!"
He even said those offensive things at the dinner table, ruining his wife's appetite.
Old Master Qin snorted coldly, picked up the large bowl in front of him, and slurped up a big mouthful of noodles.
Upon tasting the fragrant and smooth chicken soup noodles, Grandpa Qin's eyes lit up. He forgot all about talking and slurped down the bowl of noodles in a few big mouthfuls, even drinking every last drop of soup. Only then did he nod proudly and comment, "The taste is not bad, just passable."
Qin Xiao took the bowl from Old Master Qin's hand and put it on the table: "Since you're so reluctant, I won't force you to eat. Just in case you get sick from eating it."
Old Master Qin looked at his empty hands: ...
It seems they've gone too far.
He coughed lightly, trying to save face, "Well, I was afraid you'd get arrogant, so I wanted to push you a little. Hmm, the taste is not bad..."
Qin Xiao almost rolled his eyes.
"Should I thank you for your good intentions?"
Grandpa Qin smiled awkwardly, "No need for thanks among family members, just get me another bowl of noodles!"
Qin Xiao said in a huff: "That's it!"
Grandpa Qin pointed angrily at the half-full pot of noodles left in the pot, "You're talking nonsense, there's still half a pot left!"
Qin Xiao lied through his teeth: "No, I must have seen wrong!"
Grandpa Qin stood up angrily, "Hmph! If you won't give me any, I'll eat it anyway!"
Ye Weiwei had watched the show long enough, so she couldn't really let Old Master Qin do it himself. She smiled and took the bowl from Old Master Qin, saying, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Grandpa Qin beamed with joy, but looked at Qin Xiao with disdain and said, "What's the use of raising a son? Weiwei is much better."
Qin Xiao said calmly, "Without me, where would such a good daughter-in-law come from!"
Old Master Qin: ...
snort!
That brat tricked me again!
I'm so angry!
After Ye Weiwei finished serving the noodles to Grandpa Qin, Qin Xiao handed her his empty bowl, saying, "Wife, I want some too!"
