Chapter 2316 - 38: Qin Jin, Should I Learn to Cook? (2)

It’s been three years since I last saw it, and it seems that Yuncheng has a lot more skyscrapers now, many towering high rises have sprung up.

The city’s appearance has also become cleaner and more orderly.

Gu Xiran’s lips curled up as she opened the car window, breathed in the fresh air, and felt completely at ease.

"Sister Ping... it still feels good to be home."

"Isn’t that right."

Sister Ping reached out her small hand, patted Gu Xiran’s shoulder, and said seriously, "So this time when we’re back, we’re not leaving."

"Okay."

Gu Xiran’s lips curled up, truthfully she never really wanted to leave.

It’s just that the choice to leave back then was the best decision for both of them.

...

When Gu Xiran arrived at the Qin Family home, the old man had already been waiting in the hall for a long time.

Besides Qin Jin and Qin Song, who were busy, everyone else was present.

Gu Mochen, Jian Ran, and Gu Jinchen had also been waiting there for a long time.

The old man, leaning on a cane, got excited when he saw Gu Xiran’s figure and stepped forward, saying, "Tang Bao girl..."

Gu Xiran saw the old man struggling to move; compared to three years ago, he seemed a bit haggard. She quickly stepped forward to support him, saying, "Great-grandfather, I’ve missed you so much."

"You girl, always cheering me up... how come I haven’t missed you."

Qin Jiuxi couldn’t help but say when he saw the old man getting emotional, "Yes, Sister Tang Bao, the old man often calls out the wrong name, mistaking mine for yours, calling ’Tang Bao’ all the time."

"Haha."

Everyone chuckled softly.

The old man held Gu Xiran’s small hand tightly, unwilling to let go, his eyes mixed with emotions.

"Tang Bao girl, these years, leaving you alone outside, it’s been my fault."

Back then... if not for Qin Song and Qin Jin, Gu Xiran wouldn’t have needed to go abroad to study.

Gu Xiran saw the old man’s mind was filled with thoughts, she smiled and helped him sit on the sofa, speaking softly.

"Old man, are you getting confused? Why are you talking nonsense, only I should apologize to you, not the other way around..."

"Silly girl..."

"If you really feel sorry for me... then I’ll just eat and live here for free. There are so many delicious things in the Qin Family kitchen, I can’t bear to leave."

"No problem, I’ve cleaned up your room, stay here, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you, I need to see more of you."

These years, the Qin Family understood that Gu Xiran stayed away to avoid suspicion, so she hadn’t returned to the country.

The Qin Family remembered everything... gratitude and appreciation were kept deep in their hearts.

Gu Xiran was amused by the old man and laughed softly.

"No way... I still have work to do."

Qin’s mother couldn’t help but say, "Alright, everyone get ready, let’s start the feast, give Tang Bao a welcome dinner..."

"Alright."

Qin Jiuxi actively stepped forward to accompany Gu Xiran to wash her hands, and after washing her hands, she greeted everyone.

Mu Wan, upon seeing Gu Xiran, had moist, tearful eyes and seemed a bit emotional, while Qin Mu hugged Gu Xiran tightly and exclaimed.

"You’ve grown up... When you were little, I always loved holding you in my arms..."

"Yes, growing up is good, I think I’m getting prettier and prettier, haha, and uncle, you’re getting more handsome too. Uncle, I’ve missed you too."

Gu Xiran laughed out loud, and Qin Mu hugged her even tighter.

"Little mischievous girl."

...

The whole family warmly ate lunch together.

Gu Xiran had to hurry to the troop where Qin Jin was, so she left just after 12 o’clock.

The old man, seeing Gu Xiran leave, apologetically spoke to Gu Mochen.

"Mr. Gu... these years, it’s been hard on Tang Bao."

Gu Mochen felt sorry for Tang Bao but didn’t indulge her at all.

"Old man, you’re too kind, the children’s matters are always their own decisions, there’s no hardship or not."

"Hmm..."

"I’ve watched Qin Song grow up over the years, both Qin Jin and Qin Song... I like them both... but, I only raised one daughter..."

So, Gu Mochen really wanted to have two daughters to match with the Qin Family’s two young men.

But alas... there was only one Gu Xiran.

The love and affection between children come quickly and unexpectedly, it’s something adults simply cannot control.

"Mr. Gu, I understand."

The old man, feeling his age, couldn’t help but sigh.

"Now, I just hope that in my lifetime, I can see the boys from the Qin Family settle down... waiting to hear the good news of Qin Jin and Tang Bao, hoping that while I live, I can see Tang Bao being married into the Qin Family."
