“Qiqi broke a bottle at home, so the only place with Lin Weiwei is to have it!” Meng Jianguo’s eyes lit up, and he patted Meng Qiqi’s head.
"Consider this a good deed! But don't touch your mother's things again next time."
"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Meng Qiqi said obediently.
"Mom doesn't blame you," Lin Xiuxiu said to her son with a smile.
"But why did you take my perfume?"
"Grandma Xu wanted it. She asked me to go to your room and get it for her," Meng Qiqi said, feeling wronged.
Lin Xiuxiu was taken aback and looked at Meng Jianguo.
Meng Jianguo's eyes sharpened as he looked at Meng Qiqi. "What else did Grandma Xu make you do?"
Meng Qiqi thought she had gotten into trouble and dared not say anything.
His timid and hesitant appearance was just like someone who had done something wrong and was afraid of being punished. Meng Jianguo pinched his little face.
"Don't worry! Your parents won't be angry if you tell them."
He was the one who found Grandma Xu.
Meng Qiqi told Grandma Xu about everything she had asked him to get from her mother's room, which were all clothes and jewelry that Lin Xiuxiu had left unused.
However, these numbers and frequency are already quite significant.
"Looks like your judgment isn't very good either." Qin Yu glanced at Meng Jianguo. They had just chatted quite a bit and were practically friends.
"It was my oversight." Meng Jianguo hadn't expected Aunt Xu to do such a thing. "She was my wet nurse..."
Everyone fell silent. Lin Xiuxiu stepped forward and took Meng Jianguo's hand. She understood the feeling of being betrayed by someone she trusted.
Meng Jianguo shook his head; he was fine.
"Well, I've never been here before, Lanlan, can you take me out for a walk?" Lin Xiuxiu changed the subject and invited Xia Lan.
"Okay!" Xia Lan said with a smile. She also wanted to have a good look around.
The two women decided to go out, and the men naturally had no objections.
Before Lin Xiuxiu and Xia Lan left, one was delicate and frail, the other charming and alluring. Despite their different styles, the two were equally stunning standing together.
Qin Yu and Meng Jianguo, who was carrying Meng Qiqi, walked behind the two.
Both men were equally captivating, one aloof and the other handsome; even holding a child in their arms couldn't diminish their mature charm.
Wherever they go, they become the center of attention.
Compared to Xia Lan's composure, Lin Xiuxiu seemed somewhat at a loss.
She always stayed at home, or went to places with few people or to banquets, and had never been stared at by so many naked eyes.
Noticing Lin Xiuxiu's discomfort, Xia Lan smiled and said, "Don't take those looks as a threat. They're just attracted to your beauty."
"Aren't you afraid?" Seeing Xia Lan so calm, Lin Xiuxiu felt particularly useless, even less capable than Xia Lan!
“As long as they don’t get close, they won’t pose a threat,” Xia Lan explained. “But if someone comes closer, then we need to be on guard.”
"So that's how it is. No wonder you were so calm. I really envy you. You're not afraid at all. You're amazing." Lin Xiuxiu looked at Xia Lan with admiration.
As soon as Xia Lan finished speaking, a man saw Lin Xiuxiu and walked straight towards her.
"beautiful……"
Before he could finish speaking, Meng Jianguo glared at him coldly, his murderous aura striking the man so hard that he didn't dare utter a word and turned to leave.
"And we also have protectors!"
Xia Lan glanced at Meng Jianguo and Qin Yu, the two men who were glaring at men who tried to approach them with murderous intent.
Lin Xiuxiu and Xia Lan exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
Meng Jianguo and Qin Yu were in a terrible mood, exuding murderous intent. They wanted to call their wives home, but were afraid of disturbing their good mood.
Sitting on Meng Jianguo's shoulders, Meng Qiqi felt no fear whatsoever at the murderous aura emanating from her father.
Meng Qiqi felt incredibly happy as she sat on her father's shoulders for the first time.
Xia Lan took Lin Xiuxiu on a boat trip, strolled through parks and shopping malls, like two constantly running engines, making the two men behind her, who were originally very physically fit, feel tired.
Seeing the two women still discussing where to go next, I was a little suspicious.
Where has their usual gentleness gone...?
How come you don't get tired?
"Mom, I'm tired." In the end, it was the youngest, Meng Qiqi, who spoke up, ending this 'duel'.
Qin Yu no longer dared to underestimate Xia Lan; she and Lin Xiuxiu had actually shopped for a full five hours.
Qin Yu and Xia Lan hosted a meal for the four adults and one child outside, and then together they took Meng Jianguo and Lin Xiuxiu's family to the guesthouse, which brought the meal to a perfect end.
When she got home, Xia Lan collapsed onto the bed.
"I'm so tired! I never knew going out for fun was so tiring..."
"I didn't see any signs of fatigue in you today," Qin Yu teased, seeing Xia Lan's exhausted appearance.
"Brother Yu, do you think I have blisters?" Xia Lan took off her shoes, and there was a burning, stinging spot on the sole of her foot.
"It really is true." Qin Yu noticed a blister next to Xia Lan's little toe, and upon looking at the sole of her foot, he saw two large blisters under her big toe.
It was obvious that he had walked all day and had blisters on his skin.
"Don't move, I'll get you some hot water to soak your feet, and then I'll help you pop them." Qin Yu went to get hot water for Xia Lan so she could soak her feet.
"Hiss!" As soon as Xia Lan's feet touched the warm water, the stinging sensation brought tears to her eyes.
Qin Yu found it amusing to look at her spoiled manner.
"Now you know what pain is. Look at how delicate you are. Will you dare to do it again in the future?"
"..." Xia Lan pouted with a wronged expression, angrily turned her head away, and ignored him.
Sensing that something was wrong, and seeing that Xia Lan was ignoring him.
Qin Yu then realized that he might have said something he shouldn't have, and touched his nose guiltily.
He angered his wife.
"You must be tired after a long day, have some water?" Qin Yu thoughtfully poured some warm water for her.
Xia Lan expressionlessly dipped her feet into the warm water. She had just been crying out in pain, but now she didn't utter a sound.
"daughter in law?"
Looking at Xia Lan's face, which seemed to say, "I'm angry, don't talk to me," a smile flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.
He knelt down and gently washed Xia Lan's feet. Xia Lan tried to pull away but accidentally got blisters.
"ah!"
Qin Yu quickly checked Xia Lan's blisters, and after she calmed down, he gently patted her feet. "Be good and don't move, soak it properly, I'll put some medicine on it for you in a bit."
Seeing that the water had cooled down, Qin Yu brought in hot water and brought it back to the temperature of scalding his feet.
"It's so hot," Xia Lan said, tears streaming down her face.
"Hot water is good. It will draw out all the heat from the soles of your feet, and your feet won't hurt the next day," Qin Yu explained.
“Back when we were in the army, we had to walk dozens of kilometers a day. Getting blisters on our feet was a minor issue. Some people even had their feet worn out and then worn out again before they had healed.”
"That would be incredibly painful..." Xia Lan felt pain just thinking about that scene.
"We have to get to the designated position before the enemy." Qin Yu's casual words made Xia Lan pause.
