Lin Xiuxiu looked at Xia Lan, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
When your man cherishes you, what woman can remain calm and composed? She can't help but smile.
After feeding Tuantuan, Lin Xiuxiu took Tuantuan from Xia Lan's arms. Looking at the soft little one in her arms, Lin Xiuxiu felt an impulse for the first time to have another daughter.
"If I tell Jianguo I want to have another child, do you think he will agree?"
Lin Xiuxiu looked at Xia Lan seriously and said.
Xia Lan blinked. Didn't we just say that?
Won't.
"But I'm serious. It's not just so that Qiqi can have a playmate. I just want to have another daughter!"
Lin Xiuxiu really wants to have a daughter this time. Before, it was for Qiqi's sake, but this time it's for her own sake.
Why?
Xia Lan looked at Lin Xiuxiu and asked, "Do you know what you'll face after giving birth?"
"You finally managed to recover to your current condition. If you were to have another child, it's not certain that you could regain your current figure."
Xia Lan wasn't joking. When Lin Xiuxiu gave birth to her first child, she was still young and recovered quickly.
But that's not necessarily true now. Having a child is very taxing on your health, so it really can't be a spur-of-the-moment thing.
"Then... I'll think about it some more."
She wanted to say she didn't mind, but then she thought, if she became ugly, would Meng Jianguo still love her?
Lin Xiuxiu pursed her lips, somewhat afraid and hesitant to gamble.
Just then, Yuanyuan woke up. As if she could smell her mother's scent, the little one smiled in Xia Lan's direction.
That adorable appearance instantly melted the hearts of mothers.
Xia Lan picked Yuan Yuan up, and as soon as Yuan Yuan smelled the food, she snuggled against Xia Lan, opening her little mouth as if she wanted to eat.
"The little one is hungry too!"
Xia Lan chuckled, then unbuttoned her clothes and began to feed Yuan Yuan.
Lin Xiuxiu chuckled softly.
"Xiuxiu, help me hand the baby to Brother Yu and tell him that the baby just finished eating."
Xia Lan smiled at Lin Xiuxiu.
"good."
Lin Xiuxiu carried Tuantuan out of the room and came to Qin Yu.
"Qin Yu, Lanlan said Tuantuan just finished eating."
After Lin Xiuxiu finished speaking, Qin Yu stood up, picked up Tuantuan, and skillfully patted it to burp.
Watching Qin Yu take care of the child, Lin Xiuxiu turned her gaze to Meng Jianguo. She couldn't quite imagine what it would be like for Meng Jianguo to take care of a child.
Qin Yu had just burped and hadn't even had a chance to show his affection for his daughter when a pair of hands reached out and unceremoniously snatched Tuantuan from his arms.
"dad……"
Qin Yu looked at Qin Jun with a mournful expression, while Qin Jun held Tuantuan happily, ignoring Qin Yu's mournful look.
He finally managed to hold his daughter, and then she was snatched away.
"Go and stick together!" Qin Jun seemed quite pleased with his granddaughter, which surprised Meng Jianguo.
I never expected Qin Jun to be like this at home.
Seeing how much Qin Yu cared for Xia Lan, Lin Xiuxiu felt happy for her friend. Xia Lan was not favored in the Lin family and had never been treated so intimately by any elder.
During the meal, Lin Xiuxiu tasted Xiao Yuqin's cooking and was surprised to find that Xia Lan's words were not just polite talk; Xiao Yuqin's cooking was indeed delicious.
Xia Lan winked at Lin Xiuxiu, and Lin Xiuxiu nodded in agreement.
"We're here to stay for two days to attend Tuantuan and Yuanyuan's one-month celebration. We're planning to invite relatives and friends over for a get-together."
Xiao Yuqin extended an invitation to Lin Xiuxiu and Meng Jianguo.
"Of course."
Meng Jianguo looked at Lin Xiuxiu, and Lin Xiuxiu nodded without hesitation.
"That's good."
Xiao Yuqin said happily.
Three days later
The Qin family's gates were wide open, and Qin Jun's old friends all came to offer their congratulations.
Everyone has been following the gossip about the Qin family, but Qin Jun has never made it public, leading to speculation that the son in question is not the one he has recognized, which displeases Qin Jun.
He was still Qin Jun's biological son after all, so Qin Jun acknowledged him. But if he didn't give him a proper status, no one would know how to view this adopted son.
This full moon celebration gave everyone a chance to find out the status of Qin Yu, their adopted son, in Qin Jun's heart.
"Old Qin, you're quite the character! You've managed to have two grandchildren without making a sound!"
"That's right. We were worried about your good-for-nothing son before, but now it seems we were just being paranoid."
"Tell me, what do you think of your son? Does he win your heart?"
"..."
Beside Qin Jun, several old friends laughed and joked, while also weighing their options.
Qin Jun glanced at them and silently waved to Qin Yu.
"Dad? What's wrong?"
Qin Yu walked over carrying Tuan Tuan and looked at Qin Jun.
Qin Jun gestured for Qin Yu to greet them, glancing at his old friends.
"This is my son, Qin Yu!"
Qin Jun proudly patted Qin Yu on the shoulder.
Greetings, uncles and elders!
Qin Yu glanced at the group indifferently and nodded slightly.
Looking at the similar facial features of Qin Yu and Qin Jun, the father and son standing together even had similar auras.
"See this? This is my son! I'm not introducing him to you because he doesn't want to, not because I don't want to."
Qin Jun took Tuantuan from Qin Yu's arms and explained to the others.
"Alright, you can go now!"
After saying that, she pushed Qin Yu away, but refused to give Tuantuan back to him.
"..." Qin Yu glanced at Qin Jun speechlessly, knowing that he couldn't get his daughter back again.
Xia Lan didn't go to the front to greet the guests. Instead, she sat to the side with Yuan Yuan in her arms. Qin Jun and Xiao Liqin felt sorry for her. Anyway, she didn't know any of these people. They planned to just come out for a brief visit and then go back to rest.
Qin Jun said that she could do whatever she wanted, and shouldn't let strangers spoil her mood.
"So you're the Qin family's new bride? You don't look that great."
"That's right, they're still from the countryside, they don't know their place."
"Just like her mother-in-law, who knows what methods she used to marry into the family..."
A cold glint flashed in Xia Lan's eyes.
"You all look quite old, but don't always talk about your weathered faces. They're neither particularly beautiful nor uniquely ugly."
Xia Lan didn't stand on ceremony and replied directly.
The group stared in astonishment, not expecting Xia Lan to be so impolite.
"You! Is this how the Qin family behaves? How dare you be so rude to your guests?"
The woman glared at Xia Lan and deliberately raised her voice.
"Jealousy is one thing, but don't act like a dog. Is it really worth it to slander someone behind their back?"
Xia Lan said indifferently.
"..."
After Xia Lan's words, the woman felt a little embarrassed.
"Besides, which family are you from? The Xiao family or the Qin family?"
Xia Lan glanced at the woman, who didn't seem to have any brains and had a sour look on her face.
He's probably just jealous of Xiao Yuqin's years of favor and feeling resentful, so he's unhappy with everything she does.
