Chapter 325: Gao Lan is Shocked

"Uncle!" The little girl’s smile was shy.

She was very fond of this young uncle of hers.

Especially since she knew it was her uncle who had saved her last time.

The feeling of dependence and trust she had for him—it was something even her own father couldn’t compare to.

She snuggled into Qin Wenhao’s arms.

Qin Wenhao was also very fond of his little niece.

Holding the child, he turned around.

He didn’t even greet the couple.

As for whether they came in or not—that was none of his concern.

"Uncle." Qin Yue hadn’t expected his uncle to just leave without calling him, so he quickly called out and followed.

In just a few steps, he ran to his uncle’s side.

Qin Wenhao looked down at him. "Back from the Children’s Palace?"

Qin Yue nodded. "Yeah."

The three of them entered the main hall.

"Hello, Auntie!"

"Hello, Auntie!"

The two children immediately greeted Fu Mingxue politely.

Fu Mingxue hadn’t expected them.

She quickly stood up. "Hello. Oh, right, have you two eaten yet?"

Qin Yue nodded very politely. "Auntie, we ate before we came!"

"Then come have a seat." Fu Mingxue got two slices of watermelon and handed them to them.

The brother and sister each took a slice.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Thank you, Auntie."

The little sister repeated after her brother.

Her pretty eyes were fixed on Fu Mingxue.

Fu Mingxue actually quite liked children.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have treated those three ingrates so well in her past life.

Seeing the little girl’s obedient demeanor now, she still found her especially endearing.

She was all smiles.

"Qiaoqiao, come, let Auntie hold you."

She reached out her hands.

But Qin Wenhao was faster. He shifted to the side.

"You eat first!"

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’This guy was unbelievable.’

’Could holding her for a second really affect my meal?’

But the little girl was very sensible. Hearing her uncle say that, she immediately said to Fu Mingxue in a soft, sweet voice, "Auntie, please eat."

Fu Mingxue was so charmed by her cuteness that she reached out and pinched her cheek. "Qiaoqiao is such a good girl!"

After being praised, the little girl’s face turned red.

"Uncle, you eat too."

She struggled to be let down.

This time, Qin Wenhao let her down.

He had the brother and sister go sit and watch TV.

"Sister-in-law!" Qin Wenze’s voice sounded just then.

Gao Lan echoed him.

Fu Mingxue immediately said, "Don’t just stand at the door, come in and sit down!"

"It’s fine. You two eat first, don’t mind us." Qin Wenze and Gao Lan came in together.

Qin Wenhao said to Fu Mingxue, "Honey, let’s ignore them for now and eat first."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’She could tell.’

’It seemed Qin Wenhao really had a big problem with his older brother’s marriage this time.’

’This guy, honestly... Some things are just inevitable.’

’What gives him, the younger brother, the right to have such a strong opinion?’

"Well, you two have a seat for now."

"Sister-in-law, you go ahead and eat. Don’t worry about us."

Qin Wenze and Gao Lan sat down together.

He picked up the remote and turned on the TV.

Gao Lan didn’t dare to look around too much—but the refrigerator sitting there still surprised her.

’Her sister-in-law’s family was really well-off. They actually had a refrigerator, and a double-door one at that! It must have been incredibly expensive, and probably only available at a Friendship Store.’

Fu Mingxue brought the plate of watermelon that Qin Wenhao had sliced earlier over to them.

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, have some watermelon."

Gao Lan immediately thanked her, "Thank you!"

"We’re all family, no need to be so formal. Please, make yourselves at home. I’m going to go eat now."

Fu Mingxue returned to the dining table.

Qin Wenhao urged her to hurry up and eat.

She could have slowly savored her dinner, but now it felt inappropriate to take too long.

After the couple finished eating, Qin Wenhao went to clear the dishes.

This action of his shocked Gao Lan once again.
