After making arrangements for Hua Nianci, Xiaomeng and Qin Xiaoxuan were on their way back.
Xiao Meng innocently said, "Sister Hua looks so pitiful, let's let her stay."
Qin Xiaoxuan frowned slightly, saying worriedly, "Xiaomeng, don't think too simply. She's so beautiful. What if Wang Fan develops feelings for her? We'll be in trouble..."
Xiao Meng quickly said, "Sister Xiaoxuan, don't think like that. My brother isn't the kind of person who would change his mind easily. I believe him!"
Qin Xiaoxuan shook her head helplessly: "Xiaomeng, you're still too naive. Who can say for sure about matters of the heart?"
Xiao Meng looked at Qin Xiaoxuan firmly: "Anyway, I just believe in my brother. We can't refuse to help Sister Hua just because of unfounded speculation."
Seeing Xiaomeng's determination, Qin Xiaoxuan sighed inwardly.
Xiao Meng, that silly girl, is so simple-minded and trusts Wang Fan so wholeheartedly.
But his worries weren't entirely unfounded; it was just that Xiaomeng didn't understand.
Hopefully, I'm just overthinking things; otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have any peace from now on.
As Qin Xiaoxuan thought this, she and Xiaomeng went to the kitchen.
At this moment, Wang Fan was also in the kitchen, cleaning.
Qin Xiaoxuan seized the opportunity and quickly said, "Wang Fan, we need to discuss Hua Nianci's future."
Wang Fan feigned ignorance: "Huh? She's still so weak! It's not right to decide whether she stays or leaves now! Let's wait until she recovers!"
Qin Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes at him. "Don't play dumb. Don't you understand what I mean? She's so beautiful. Wouldn't it cause some problems if she stayed with us?"
Wang Fan stopped what he was doing and said seriously, "Xiaoxuan, don't overthink things. We're saving a life, we can't just give up halfway."
Qin Xiaoxuan bit her lip and gave a soft snort. "I knew you'd say that!"
Seeing Qin Xiaoxuan's appearance, Wang Fan's heart stirred. He picked her up and said, "Xiaoxuan, what's wrong? Are you afraid someone will take me away?"
Qin Xiaoxuan was both ashamed and angry, and pounded on Wang Fan's chest: "Let go of me, who's afraid!"
Wang Fan held her tightly and said gently, "Xiaoxuan, don't overthink it. In my heart, no one can take your place."
Qin Xiaoxuan turned her head away and muttered, "Hmph, who knows if what you said is true? When you saw Hua Nianci just now, your eyes were practically drooling."
Wang Fan was both amused and exasperated: "Xiaoxuan, you've really wronged me. I was just acting out of sympathy for someone in distress."
Qin Xiaoxuan snorted: "I don't believe it."
At this moment, Xiao Meng quickly came to Wang Fan's rescue.
"Xiaoxuan, you've really misunderstood my brother. He's not the kind of person who would easily change his mind. We've been through so much together, don't we know what kind of person he is?"
Qin Xiaoxuan looked at Xiaomeng, then at Wang Fan, still somewhat skeptical.
Wang Fan said helplessly, "Xiaoxuan, I swear to God, if I have any second thoughts, may I..."
Xiao Meng quickly interrupted, "Brother, don't say such unlucky things. Sister Xiaoxuan, just believe him."
Qin Xiaoxuan was silent for a moment, then finally said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time, but if you dare to lie to me..."
Seeing her fierce expression, Wang Fan deliberately tickled her and said with a smile, "What will you do to me if I lie to you?"
Qin Xiaoxuan giggled as she was tickled, dodging and pleading, "Hey, stop it, stop it!"
Xiao Meng couldn't help but laugh as well.
After some playful banter, everyone felt much more relaxed.
Wang Fan said, "Alright, we've all had a long day, let's go back to our rooms and get some sleep."
…………….
The next day, Wang Fan got up and looked at the two people lying haphazardly beside him.
Xiao Meng was sleeping sprawled out, one foot dangling from the blanket, while Qin Xiaoxuan was hugging a pillow, her hair a mess.
Wang Fan smiled helplessly, gently got up, and was afraid of waking them.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, he found Hua Nianci already busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Wang Fan said in surprise, "Hua Nianci, why are you up so early?"
Hua Nianci smiled and replied, "I want to do something for everyone to thank you for taking me in."
Wang Fan said with a smile, "Then I'll help you do it."
Hua Nianci was somewhat surprised and said, "I didn't expect you could cook."
As Wang Fan skillfully picked up the ingredients, he said, "That's right, don't underestimate me."
Seeing Wang Fan's skillful operation, Hua Nianci couldn't help but sigh, "I used to be busy by myself, and my wife would just wait to eat and never lend a hand."
Wang Fan was slightly taken aback and said, "Then he really doesn't know how to cherish things."
Hua Nianci shook her head with a wry smile: "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
The two worked together seamlessly in the kitchen, and soon, a fragrant aroma wafted out.
Just then, Qin Xiaoxuan and Xiaomeng walked into the kitchen.
Qin Xiaoxuan asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
Hua Nianci quickly changed the subject: "It's nothing, come and try our breakfast."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and, after a few bites, Qin Xiaoxuan exclaimed, "This food tastes much better than before!"
Xiao Meng nodded repeatedly, her mouth full: "Mmm, it's really awesome!"
Wang Fan said, "This is all thanks to Hua Nianci; I was just helping out."
Hua Nianci quickly and modestly said, "Without Wang Fan's help, I wouldn't have been able to make such delicious food."
Qin Xiaoxuan laughed and said, "Alright, alright, stop being so modest. Eat up, or it'll get cold."
Although Qin Xiaoxuan said this, seeing Wang Fan and Hua Nianci interacting, she still felt a sense of crisis deep down.
She couldn't help but glance at Wang Fan a few more times, her eyes filled with unease.
Xiao Meng, on the other hand, was carefree and only knew how to eat, muttering, "It's so delicious, I want to eat more."
Seeing Xiaomeng's reaction, Qin Xiaoxuan shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself that this little girl was really heartless, still only thinking about food at a time like this.
At the same time, she was a little envious of Xiaomeng's innocence, unlike herself, who was full of worries about Wang Fan and Hua Nianci.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, worried that Wang Fan would neglect her because of Hua Nianci.
After all, Hua Nianci was beautiful and gentle, and she and Wang Fan had such a tacit understanding in the kitchen.
Qin Xiaoxuan unconsciously tightened her grip on the chopsticks, and her eyes dimmed.
Wang Fan noticed Qin Xiaoxuan's unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Xiaoxuan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Xiaoxuan forced a smile. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
Hua Nianci also said, "Then you should go and rest after you finish eating."
Qin Xiaoxuan didn't say anything, she just ate her meal in silence.
