With that, Ye Wanluo turned around and took the basket from her aunt, walking towards the dining table.
She took out the pastries and looked at Wen Qing with a smile. "Miss Wen, although my culinary skills are mediocre, my pastries are not bad. Really, try it yourself."
Wen Qing looked at Ye Wanluo's face and did not say a word.
Huo Tingshen said, "We've already eaten."
Ye Wanluo looked at the table and said, "You can have a taste after you've eaten, but there isn't much to be had. Or do you have no interest in my cooking?"
Huo Tingshen stood up and said with a cold expression, "We have a professional pastry chef at home, how can his skills be inferior to yours?"
"But my heart is ??"
"Alright, no one needs your goodwill here. You can go back now."
Huo Tingshen then looked at Wen Qing, "Go upstairs and rest."
Wen Qing stood up, but Ye Wanluo was not angry. Instead, she pulled Wen Qing's arm and said, "Miss Wen, let's have a chat."
Wen Qing looked at her, and their eyes met.
Her eyes were cold, but Ye Wanluo had a delicate and touching look on her face.
Huo Tingshen said unhappily, "What do you want to talk about now?"
"Tingshen, this is the Huo Family, I can't eat people, can you stop avoiding me like I'm a bomb?"
Before Huo Tingshen could say anything, Wen Qing said, "Let's talk in the glass room."
Huo Tingshen grabbed her wrist. This woman was soft-hearted.
Wen Qing smiled at her before withdrawing her hand. Together with Ye Wanluo, they went to the backyard and entered the greenhouse.
There were only two people here.
Ye Wanluo pulled out two chairs and said, "Please take a seat."
After Wen Qing sat down, Ye Wanluo also sat down beside her.
"What does Miss Ye want to say?"
"Miss Wen, I know that you do not wish to see me, but with our current relationship, we are sister-in-law, after all, family. Meeting each other is unavoidable, even if we are unhappy, I hope you can endure it."
Wen Qing looked at Ye Wanluo's sincere expression and did not say a word.
Seeing that she did not open her mouth, Ye Wanluo continued, "The day after tomorrow will be the New Year. This is a good day to reunite with your family. As a member of this family, I do not want to ruin this happy occasion, so, no matter how much you hate me, at least let's not ruin the atmosphere of the family for the next few days, okay?"
Wen Qing smiled lightly. "Miss Ye wishes for me to act with you?"
"I don't need to put on an act. I've already said that. Although you hate me, I don't hate you. I can understand why you're angry, and naturally, I can digest the hatred you have towards me. So this time, the only person who has to act is the Miss Wen himself. "
Wen Qing said with a cold expression: "Since I am Huo Tingshen's wife, I naturally know how to judge the pros and cons. In order to not make things difficult for Huo Tingshen, I know how to act, and I don't need Miss Ye's reminder. As for Miss Ye's good intentions for the moment, I still do not accept it. I still have the old saying, "I can no longer have any friendly feelings towards Miss Ye, and you don't have to release your good intentions either.
With that, she stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
Seeing that Ye Wanluo had gone into a daze, Wen Qing left by herself.
Ye Wanluo stayed in the glass room for a few minutes before coming out.
When they passed by the living room, Huo Tingshen and Wen Qing were both not there, but Butler Tong was.
Butler Tong stepped forward: "Second Madame, I'll send you back."
Ye Wanluo looked at Butler Tong, her eyes filled with tears. "No need, I'll go back by myself."
She turned her head to look in the direction of the building and left.
When Butler Tong entered the courtyard, he heard a few aunties who were still on duty mumbling blindly.
"Third Mrs. Huo is not a person who knows how to bully people."
"Didn't you see how Second Madame left while crying?"
"I feel that both the Third Mrs. Huo and the Second Madame are very kind. Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"
Butler Tong cleared his throat.
The few of them immediately went silent.
Butler Tong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "What are you all doing, do you still want to continue?"
"Butler Tong is sorry, we spoke too much. We will take note of it in the future."
"It's almost the new year, so I won't punish you guys. But remember, if you guys still dare to talk about Huo Family, the ones who are in trouble are you guys."
"Yes."
"Yes."
The Butler Tong sighed, it was difficult for the officials to cut off their family affairs, and the matter of the Huo Family was even more chaotic.
On the day of New Year's Eve, only three aunts remained at home to keep watch. Everyone else had gone home to celebrate the new year.
As such, the bustling courtyard became a little quieter.
At breakfast, Huo Tingren came to Huo Tingshen's place as it was the only place with a chef today.
Before eating, he even sent a gift to Wen Qing.
Under Huo Tingshen's sharp gaze, Wen Qing took the gift and asked, "What is this?"
"I have prepared a set for you and Second Sister-in-law."
Hearing that, Huo Tingshen retracted his gaze.
Wen Qing said, "I have a lot. Your Third Bro bought a whole closet full of radiation suits."
"This is different. This is something that I customized, and then personally brought to a minority during my travels, so that their local embroidery lady could embroider it with a design and a name."
Wen Qing opened the box and took out the radiation suit.
These clothes were truly unique. There was a beautiful cherry blossom embroidered on the chest, and there was also her name on the corner of her clothes.
She got up and put on her clothes. "Thank you. You are too considerate. I really like it."
Huo Tingshen said in disdain, "Not just to yourself."
"Second Brother, my Third Sister-in-Law's and Second Sister-in-Law's clothes are different, so the clothes I gave them could be considered unique."
Wen Qing sat down and took a sip of her porridge. "Where's the difference?"
"Your clothes are embroidered with cherry blossoms, and Second Sister's clothes are embroidered with white lotuses."
Wen Qing asked curiously, "Why is it different?"
"Because you are as elegant and simple as a cherry blossom, and Second Sister as pure and unstained as a white lotus."
Wen Qing felt that these words were definitely good words, but why did she always feel that something was wrong when she mentioned Bai Lian?
I hope his second sister-in-law won't think too much about it.
Huo Tingshen snorted and said, "Bullsh * t."
"Third Brother, it's the new year, can you not push me? Isn't it kind of me to give gifts, is it Third Sister-in-Law? "
Wen Qing nodded in agreement and said to Huo Tingshen, "That's right."
Huo Tingshen stared at her: "Eat."
Wen Qing lowered her head and snickered. She thought about how sometimes he was just like a child.
By noon, Ye Wanluo-cai had arrived late with Huo Tingchi, wearing a radiation suit from Huo Tingren.
At that time, Huo Tingren was playing a game on the sofa.
Wen Qing leaned against Huo Tingshen's side as the two of them watched a movie together.
Seeing the two entering, Huo Tingren was so busy that he only took a glance and said: "Second Brother's second sister-in-law."
Huo Tingchi looked at Wen Qing with an ugly expression.
Ye Wanluo pushed Huo Tingchi to the side of the sofa while she sat beside Wen Qing. She looked at the TV screen and said, "What a coincidence. This old movie is also my favorite."
Wen Qing is upset, Huo Tingshen just said, he thinks this movie is not bad...
