Chapter 457: Distributing Gifts

This time, it wasn’t just the Qin family who were stunned; even Fu Mingxue and Mrs. Fu were completely shocked.

They really hadn’t expected the little boy’s possessiveness to be so incredibly strong.

Once they processed it, everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Qin Hao: ...?

’What are you laughing at? Laugh all you want, Mom still belongs to me and my sister.’

At that moment, Fu Mingxue truly felt the joy of being a mother.

’Who wouldn’t love it when their little cub gets protective over his food—no, that’s not right, protective over his mother?’

She scooped him up in a big hug.

"I’m yours, all yours," she said, "but I’m also Qiaoqiao’s Little Auntie. Qiaoqiao’s one and only Little Auntie."

When Qin Ruqiao heard this, her eyes grew even brighter.

She understood the phrase "one and only"—her brother had explained it to her last time. She liked that feeling of being unique.

"Alright, everyone, let’s get inside."

This time, Mrs. Qin reached out, wanting to take Qin Hao back from her.

But this time, he wouldn’t let her.

’This little sister is still young,’ he thought. ’It’s better if I’m the only one protecting Mom!’

’Otherwise, what if the other brothers and sisters in the family steal Mom away?’

’I can’t let the other brothers and sisters snatch away my pretty, amazing Mom!’

Seeing that Qin Hao was unwilling, Fu Mingxue of course wouldn’t let him be taken away. She said, "It’s okay, I’ll just hold him. I’m actually super strong."

Mrs. Qin: ...?

She looked toward her eldest granddaughter.

Qin Ruqiao silently turned her head away, pretending she hadn’t seen her grandmother’s hand.

Because she wanted her Little Auntie to hold her.

Being in her Little Auntie’s arms felt very comfortable and warm.

Mrs. Qin: ...?

This came as a big surprise to her, because her eldest granddaughter hadn’t let anyone else hold her for a very long time.

Seeing that the little girl was happy to let her hold her, Fu Mingxue said, "It’s alright, Mom. I can hold them. I’m really not tired."

Then, she greeted the other elders of the Qin family.

Mr. Qin and Old Mrs. Qin were especially fond of her, their granddaughter-in-law.

They were smiling with exceptional warmth.

Not to mention Mr. Qin, who was her biggest fan.

The moment he saw Fu Mingxue, the smile on his face never wavered.

Perhaps in his heart, neither of his two sons held a higher place than his daughter-in-law, Fu Mingxue.

"Everyone, inside!"

At that, everyone went inside.

Fu Mingxue sat down, but the two children didn’t get off her lap.

Instead, they sat quietly, one on each knee.

In any case, young Qin Hao planned to stay glued to his mother, resolute in not giving anyone else an opening.

Mrs. Qin looked at the two little ones, and the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

Just then, Qin Wenze brought in the two gift bags.

As soon as Mrs. Qin saw them, she immediately said, "Why did you buy all this again? We’re all family, there’s no need to be such a stranger. Didn’t you already bring plenty of goods from the mountains? The family loved all of that."

Mr. Qin also spoke up. "Exactly. We’re all family. Don’t do this again in the future."

Fu Mingxue said, "Dad, Mom, it’s been a whole year. It’s only right that we buy you some food and drinks. Mom, could you help open them? I bought some cigarettes and liquor for Dad, and the supplements are for Grandpa and Grandma. The other snacks are for the children."

"Also, I bought two lengths of fabric for you and Sister-in-law. You can have some clothes made."

Gao Lan, who had just walked in, was a little surprised to hear this—she hadn’t expected her sister-in-law to have bought something for her too.

Mrs. Qin went to open the bags.

There really was a lot inside.

And the items were both expensive and high-quality.

This must have cost a fortune.

"Don’t buy these things next time. It’s too much money, and we don’t need such fine things. Especially this tobacco and liquor—you can’t buy such high-quality brands again. Your father is going to be over the moon."
