Chapter 834: Chapter 814: Let’s Go Shopping Together
Qhianqhian shrugged her shoulders and looked at Yue Tingyu and Old Master Luo with her big black eyes, rolling them mischievously before giving Jia Ning a secretive smile: "We should also invite Auntie along, and take Grandpa and Grandma to buy some clothes. Fourth Brother made a mistake, so Second Uncle has to bear some cost, right? Otherwise, how can Fourth Brother’s education be taken to heart?"
"Exactly." Jia Ning completely agreed and ran over to Yue Tingyu, hooking her arm: "Mom, shall we go shopping?"
"If your mom’s going, then I’ll..."
Old Master Luo hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Qhianqhian wink at him: "Grandma basically wears her clothes for Grandpa to see. How can it be okay if Grandpa doesn’t like them?"
This teasing quip got Qhianqhian a tap on the head from Luo Yanhao: "Can you just say such things outright?"
Qhianqhian pouted: "Second Brother, let me tell you something..."
"Hmm?" Luo Yanhao was startled.
"I’m deciding to find a girlfriend for Big Brother next." she said with a humph and turned to hide behind Old Master Luo.
Luo Yanhai laughed heartily, sympathetically patting Luo Yanhao’s shoulder: "Trouble comes from the mouth, brother, but thank you in advance."
The two of them didn’t really mind who came first or later; they were just happy their sister had the heart to do it.
Being able to tease each other was something the two brothers found particularly enjoyable.
Luo Yanhao looked at Qhianqhian: "Qhianqhian, little cutie, little fairy, little princess, little queen, don’t be like this..."
Qhianqhian rolled her eyes and tugged on Old Master Luo’s hand: "Grandpa, you really have to come with us, otherwise Second Brother will talk me to death."
"Alright." Generally, Old Master Luo would agree to his granddaughter’s reasonable requests.
Besides, it’s been a long time since he went shopping with Yue Tingyu, a neglect on his part. It was a reminder of how women naturally love shopping—how could he forget that?
Qhianqhian giggled and secretly made a victory hand gesture towards Jia Ning and Yue Tingyu.
Jia Ning smiled helplessly: "Alright, hurry and call Nuannuan and the others, I’ll call your Auntie."
Qhianqhian quickly agreed.
The four grown men all had driver’s licenses, so there was no need for Jia Ning and Ye Qianying to drive. So, Luo Yanwu drove with Cong Rong in the passenger seat and Qhianqhian and Qin Nuan in the back. Luo Yanhai had Old Master Luo and Yue Tingyu sitting in the back. Naturally, Luo Yanhao had Jia Ning and Ye Qianying with him.
The topics in the three vehicles were all different...
Let’s start with Luo Yanhai...
Luo Yanhai just kept driving steadily, showing no intention of catching up, even as his two younger brothers overtook him. It was all about one word: stable.
"Sometimes, I feel it’s a pity Qhianqhian is not that old rascal’s granddaughter." Old Master Luo sighed. Thinking back to the morning, for four brothers, none of them were as problem-solving as one girl?
Yue Tingyu gave Old Master Luo a dissatisfied glare: "You’re ashamed to say that?" Back when things happened, he didn’t bother consulting her; now he’s regretting it—is there any use to that?!
Luo Yanhai’s face was full of helplessness, isn’t it a bit late to regret now?
"Didn’t I feel that Qhianqhian could be protected at that time? If she were like Shufan..." At this, Old Master Luo was full of remorse.
Luo Shufan was practically a taboo topic in the family, simply because they couldn’t find a trace despite using all kinds of means!
In the end, it was Qhianqhian herself who found out and accepted the fact that Luo Shufan wouldn’t be back for now.
"Actually, that child is quite nice and a good match for Qhianqhian." Yue Tingyu paused for a long time, then sighed: "Qhianqhian is more outgoing and clever; having someone introverted and rational with her suits well."
Old Master Luo also nodded, then fell into silence, and there was no more conversation all the way.
In Luo Yanhao’s car...
"Sister-in-law, look at Cong Rong; oh dear, he’s handsome. The kids will surely look good." Jia Ning, linking Ye Qianying’s arm from the back, paid no heed to the fact that Luo Yanhao, driving, was single.
"Listen to you, look at Nuannuan; she’s good friends with Qhianqhian, and both are beautiful, lively, and cheerful, and you and they get along well." Ye Qianying sighed: "Cong Rong is indeed good, but he’s too introverted and doesn’t talk much. Seeing Qhianqhian and Nuannuan giggling, I’m envious and jealous."
"Cong Rong isn’t bad friends with Qhianqhian, okay? And Cong Rong studies well, too, which makes us feel good...being introverted is good. Look at Qhianqhian—she’s always loud and bustling; how much worry does that cause? It’s just that her mom isn’t here, otherwise, could she be so free? Jia Ning felt somewhat frustrated with Qhianqhian’s overactivity; what kind of girl runs around with needles just for fun?
"Qhianqhian truly makes people worry." Ye Qianying also sighed: "A friend of mine told me, Qhianqhian has already skipped class over a dozen times in just these two months of college."
"What???" Jia Ning looked incredulous: "No, we need to talk to her about this! As a young child, the main task should still be studying."
"Her homework isn’t lagging, and the completion rate is high." Ye Qianying shrugged: "She’s just a freshman; let’s not rush. She’s still young and wants to have fun."
"Young? Sister-in-law, Qhianqhian already has a fiancé..." Jia Ning looked at Ye Qianying, still full of sighs: "Suddenly it feels like a dream."
"Ah, the kids grow up fast too." Ye Qianying and Jia Ning fell into a reverie together.
Luo Yanhao shook his head helplessly.
Qhianqhian likes to play? The things she does are things his brother wouldn’t even dare think of, okay? Like publicly poking him with a needle, or taking a knife for someone...
Thinking of Qhianqhian like she was yesterday, Luo Yanhao didn’t speak.
When has Qhianqhian ever not wanted to act cute and lazily be an ordinary little girl?
But with Luo Shufan not around, she has to be strong.
In Luo Yanwu’s car...
"Hey, Third Brother, Cong Rong is already in the passenger seat. Can’t you talk a bit? Just driving in silence like this; be careful we’ll chat and ignore you later?" Qhianqhian watched Luo Yanwu sit upright, focused ahead, driving fast yet steadily, and couldn’t help but break the silence in the car.
"With us here, how can you talk? Come, come, let’s cover our ears, not listen, not listen..." Qin Nuan pulled over Qhianqhian, and the two of them exchanged glances in the back seat, the next second plugging each other’s ears with a calm expression, pretending not to hear anything.
Luo Yanwu watched the two being silly through the rearview mirror and helplessly shook his head gently: "Cold?" His voice was so soft that it gave goosebumps to the two without plugged ears.
Cong Rong shook her head: "It’s fine."
Silence fell again...
"You two don’t need to be so boring, do you? How do you date when we’re not around?" Qhianqhian turned her head incredulously towards the two in front: "Surely it’s not one reading a book and the other writing, just spending the day like that?"
The next second, before the eyes of Qin Nuan and Qhianqhian, the two in the front turned visibly red in the ears.
Seriously...
Qhianqhian and Qin Nuan looked at each other with the same incredulous expression...
