If looks could slap people on their faces, then Lin would have her cheeks swollen till now with the glares and gazes that Yu Lan and Yanran had given to her by now for her extreme shamelessness.
And sharing the words of such righteousness coming from the one whom their whole Uni called WITCH, they just felt that their innards were twisting.
'You say that to the cafeteria chef whom you slapped by throwing the pasta on his face.'
Yanran almost had the urge to scold Lin, but then thinking that they were in Ye Qian's house and it was not right, to disorient the harmonious atmosphere, she gritted her teeth.
"Haha, seemed like the girls have gotten very well with you."
Ye Qian laughed seeing the four of them giggling and agreeing with each other's words so easily.
He understood that it was hard for children to get used to unknown people and they were not so close to even Yu Lan knowing her relation with him, but they had just blended along with Lin with such ease.
"Humph, Lin is just a sweet talker."
Seeing that the situation was not in the least as she had thought, Yu Lan harrumphed and pouted.
She felt as if Lin was just taking all the credit for the work that she had been doing so far.
"Hehe, our beauty Yu Lan seems to be getting jealous of this Lin."
Lin snickered while pulling Little Qiqi and the girls towards herself.
Yu Lan's face twitched as she reported.
"Why...why would I be jealous of you, I am their real aunt, you... you are just my friend."
Yu Lan pouted and stood up while picking Little Jia into her arms.
"Jia, you should not get close to her, this Lin is very sneaky and will teach you bad things."
Yu Lan said earnestly.
But her words only made the people around to be amused.
It looked as if she was trying to remind the little girl that she was supposed to be their real aunt and not Lin.
"Huh, bad things, like?"
Little Jia nodded and then asked with her head tilted towards Lin.
"Hmm, like fighting and saying bad words, and also teasing and scolding people."
Yu Lan thought for a long moment before she was able to think of certain BAD INFLUENCES that Lin would have on the little girls if they were to stay close to her for a long time.
"Huh, but Aunt Lan'er, shouldn't we fight if we see something wrong or anyone harming someone, and scold if they are wrong."
From behind Yu Lan, a baby voice was heard.
Yu Lan turned around to see that the one speaking was the one who was the youngest of the three girls.
With her big watery eyes staring a Yu Lan, Xiao Ya's brows were raised as if she was not asking but reminding Yu Lan.
"Haha, that's the right way, you should not let anyone bully you, that is what this Aunt of yours practices."
Lin had her chest puffed with pride as she stood up and stroked Xiao Ya's head.
But more than her chest, right now her stomach seemed to be bloating even more even after puffing her chest.
"Umm."
Now was the time for Yu Lan to be speechless.
Indeed what the little girl had asked was right, they should fight back if something bad were to happen and should also disagree if they don't like it.
"Hmmm, you are right, but...but, I am also your aunt right?"
Yu Lan almost had tears in her eyes knowing that there was no way that she could beat Lin in this.
"Aunt Lan'er doesn't need to be sad, Jia knows that Aunt Lan'er is very good and loved us just Like Aunt Lin, we love you just like how much we love Aunt Lin too."
Little Jia who was in Yu Lan's arms wiped her teary eyes before they could roll down and coaxed her.
"Hmm."
"Now give me a kiss."
Yu Lan nodded with a smile, she was delighted by the little girl's words.
She just didn't understand how were the little girls just so much more mature than their age.
"Hehe, okay."
Little Jia giggled and gave a light peck on Yu Lan's cheeks.
Meanwhile, Ning Wei and Ye Qian smiled on the other side of the table.
After the dinner, the three were busy wrapping and carrying the stuff to the kitchen, but hearing the light commotion, the two were a bit dazed.
Ye Qian knew that Yu Lan was not feeling envious, but it was just right for her to feel even so.
But now it was all over.
Meanwhile, Mei and Xiao Ya also helped Ye Qian, Yuan Meng and Ning Wei a bit.
"Big Brother, we should leave now."
Yu Lan smiled as they walked out into the living room.
Although it had been not even 2 hours since they had been here, the time they had enjoyed was too much for them to keep track of these 2 hours or so.
"Hey hey, don't cry now, I told you already, come whenever you want to."
Seeing the moist eyes, Ye Qian could not help but give a slight slap on Yu Lan's head and scolded her.
"Qiqi, come on say your Aunt Lan'er and her friends' goodbye."
Yuan Mend smiled as she shook her head at them and turned to Little Qiqi and Xiao Ya who were right behind her.
"Aunt Lan'er cried even more than Biggest Sister."
Xiao Ya raised her brows and pondered.
"Hey hey, I don't cry much."
When it came to crying, if someone teased her, Little Jia would get irked.
The little girl quickly pouted and glared at Xiao Ya.
"Ahh, no no, that is not what I mean, Biggest Sister, I am sorry."
Xiao Ya shook her head quickly and apologized.
"Humph, this time."
Little Jia pouted and then pulled Xiao Ya and Little Qiqi towards Ye Qian and Yu Lan.
Yuan Meng and Ning Wei smiled wryly looking at each other.
"Aunt Lan'er, we will miss you all."
"Hmm."
"We will also miss you, sweeties."
Lin cheered and gave a peck to the three and also fished out something from her pocket.
