"Aunt Cheng, Aunt Cheng, come and see how much stuff we bought!"
Feng Yaoyao piled the things under the refrigerator as if she wanted to take credit, and stood with her hands on her hips, waiting for praise.
As a parent who doesn't want to spoil the fun, Cheng Jing also put on a dramatic act.
"Oh my, why did you buy so much? Let Xiaobai carry it. You must be tired. Come and rest."
"I'm not tired."
Seeing how familiar the two were, Qin Bai grinned.
She didn't carry it the whole way; she only took it from me when we got to the door.
Oh well, as long as they're happy.
Have fun, and don't fight, that's the most important thing.
Next came the part about being a virtuous wife and loving mother. Qin Bai was sent to the living room, and the kitchen became the main battlefield for the two of them.
Feng Yaoyao, who had never lifted a finger before, experienced the joy of cooking for the first time.
Of course, it was just a matter of helping out and acting as a cheerleader on the sidelines.
Even so, Cheng Jing was already very happy. Did you expect a rich girl to spend all her time around the stove? Their chef would probably be out of a job by now.
Qin Bai lay on the sofa in the living room, listening to the two chatting in the kitchen with his eyes closed, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.
This kind of life is probably what most people yearn for.
He took out his phone, stared at Shen Muyao's profile picture, and became inexplicably lost in thought.
The picture is simple: a snowy background with a solitary figure standing with their back to themselves, fingers outstretched towards the sky, as if trying to touch the distant sunlight.
But a distance of 150 million is beyond human reach, making that figure even more lonely.
Little Ice Cube is still Little Ice Cube, always appearing aloof and cold, even if it's just an avatar.
The human world is a purgatory, but a well-behaved girl like her shouldn't be afflicted by the flames of karma. We must find a way to pull her out of the abyss.
I'm going to talk to her tomorrow. I already have an idea in mind, but I need her cooperation.
Avoiding problems is always the worst approach; things must be resolved before you can enjoy life with peace of mind.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you spacing out?"
At some point, Feng Yaoyao leaned against the back of the sofa, smoothing out his furrowed brow with one hand.
The cool, damp fingers cleared Qin Bai's mind a bit more.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about how I can get back the diploma I lost."
"Oh dear, why are you bringing this up again? They were in the wrong."
Qin Bai smiled. Very good, he had successfully changed the subject once again.
Otherwise, if she keeps asking me questions, I might just find out the truth.
This little green tea bitch is so hard to fool; I always feel like she can see right through me.
"Are you ready to eat?"
"Yes, Aunt Cheng asked me to come and call you."
"Let's go."
Qin Bai sat up, smelling the aroma of the food filling the room, and his stomach started to rumble.
I haven't had my mother's cooking in a long time since she was hospitalized, and I really miss it.
Cheng Jing placed all the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, come and sit down. These are just some home-style dishes, please don't mind them."
“These dishes are all delicious and visually appealing. Even a five-star chef wouldn’t be able to match their skill level. Aunt Cheng, you’re too modest.”
Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, the emotional value must come first.
Seeing that the two of them were already sitting together, Qin Bai deliberately chose a spot as far away from Feng Yaoyao as possible.
The reason is simple: I'm afraid of being teased.
Although my mother is still here, such a thing shouldn't happen.
But who can say for sure? These lunatics all have terrifyingly strong mental fortitude. Having experienced Luo Jiaojiao's little black snake, he certainly doesn't want to go through that again.
At least when there are other people around, I don't think about it.
It was exciting, but the time spent being under strict control was far too long.
......
Inside Luo Qingyan's office.
She picked up her phone and gently tapped Luo Ziyao's profile picture.
"Second brother, what are you busy with?"
What are you going to do?
Luo Ziyao's tone was full of vigilance. This younger sister rarely called him first, and if she did, it was definitely not a good thing.
"Oh, it's nothing, just checking up on you."
"Stop, I can't accept this, get to the point, I'm busy right now."
When do they all go home for the Chinese New Year?
The Luo family had a large population, and their branches had spread to various provinces.
This is precisely where Old Master Luo's shrewdness lies. If he keeps all his influence in Kyoto, he might have more say.
However, if they are targeted and something unsolvable happens, it will bring about utter disaster, leaving no one to even move around.
Who are you talking about?
"You know better than I do who I'm talking about." Luo Qingyan tapped her fingers lightly on the table, the speed gradually increasing.
Luo Ziyao's head was buzzing when he heard her words.
"He's still not back, Qingyan. Take your second brother's advice. Wouldn't it be better to be happy during the New Year? Why bother..."
"Heh!" Luo Qingyan sneered, and Luo Ziyao immediately shut up.
Silence fell on the phone.
After a while.
Luo Qingyan said softly, "Second brother is right, so I plan not to see them this year and go back to visit them as soon as possible."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
This sudden obedience gave Luo Ziyao even more of a headache.
If his sister were obedient, he'd rather hope the earth were destroyed sooner.
This isn't because he has antisocial personality disorder, but because he understands Luo Qingyan's personality too well.
The fact that she dared to run away from the Luo family alone without any help already proved that her relationship with her family had gone to extremes.
"Literally, I'll probably be going back in the next few days."
