After this incident, the relationship between Shu Ran and Qin Xian took a sudden leap forward.
The two were inseparable, almost glued to each other every day.
Especially during lunch, even though Qin Xinyi had already recovered, Qin Xian refused to eat the meals he prepared. He wanted to eat the food made by his girlfriend and would occasionally throw a tantrum, insisting that she feed him.
Shu Ran found it both amusing and frustrating, yet she also enjoyed these sweet moments of love.
As for the matter involving Xu Yan Ying and Qin Xinyi, it seemed like a long time ago.
Xu Yan Ying ultimately withdrew from the case, deleted the information posted online, and personally apologized.
On his way to surrender, Lu Qisheng was intercepted by Qin Xinyi.
Qin Xinyi still gave Lu Qisheng's stepmother, Yuan Lihua, a sum of money as compensation for Father Lu's death.
However, given the greedy nature of the Yuan family, it was unlikely they would easily let it go.
Of course not.
So someone secretly set a trap to catch the gambling-loving Yuan Lihua off guard. They collected evidence against Lu Xiao and sent people to deal with them, occasionally harassing them as well.
This instilled fear and dread in them until they realized their own overreach, at which point that person reluctantly pulled back.
Qin Xian was never one to show mercy; in other words, he was quite ruthless.
Just like when he was about to kill someone, he never said a word, finishing it with a single shot was his style.
But this time he didn't. For the first time, he patiently lingered with someone else. Out of kindness, he didn't go for the kill, simply because he still cared about her feelings.
He knew that no matter what he did, Shu Ran wouldn't blame him, but she would silently blame herself deep down.
She was fragile and innocent.
...
The pure white steam from the pot wafted through the exhaust vent, filling the entire kitchen with the aroma of pork and corn soup, delicious and enticing.
Shu Yuyu was hiding at the door, unable to resist swallowing as he caught a whiff of the smell.
Auntie's cooking smelled so good.
Shu Ran was busy packing food and rice into a two-tiered lunch box. As she turned her head casually, her gaze suddenly caught sight of a little head peeking in.
Shu Ran paused her actions and smiled, waving at him hiding by the door. "Yuyu, come here."
Upon hearing this, Shu Yuyu happily bounced in. As he ran, he took deep breaths of the delicious food aroma in the kitchen and exclaimed to Shu Ran, "Wow, Auntie’s cooking smells amazing! It’s so fragrant that it woke up the little chicken in my belly! Can you hear it? It's making noise non-stop!"
Shu Ran was amused by his childish words and affectionately rubbed his nose, laughing, "You little glutton."
She finished speaking and picked up a piece of Sweet and Sour Ribs for him to eat, which was tangy and sweet, very much to the child's liking.
Watching him munching away while giving a thumbs-up and saying, "Great, great, great," she felt a sense of satisfaction.
Shu Ran smiled appreciatively, turned around, and went back to watching the soup simmering in the pot.
In the living room, Shu Ran's phone on the sofa suddenly rang. Since she was busy seasoning the dish, she casually called out, "Yuyu, help Auntie bring me my phone and see who's calling."
"Okay!" Shu Yuyu replied in a sweet voice, carefully jumping down from the chair and running into the living room in a few quick steps.
Before long, he came running in, shouting loudly, "Auntie, your husband is calling! Auntie, your husband is calling!"
Shu Ran was blowing lightly on her soup to cool it down when she was caught off guard by his shout and ended up taking a big sip. With a hiss, the hot soup rushed down her throat, making her wince in pain.
As for this title, it all started after that argument.
That day, Shu Ran couldn't find the contact for Qin Naive no matter how hard she looked. So she took Qin Xian's phone and called herself.
When the call connected, the screen displayed the contact name; however... the contact name was...
Husband!
Shu Ran:...
Really... Qin Naive...
But she couldn't be bothered to change it; husband is husband. Otherwise, if he saw that she changed the note, it would probably lead to another round of biting and kissing.
No, no, that's too unprofitable.
Let it be; anyway, her phone was only used by her and him, so it should be fine.
Who knew...
"Hey, are you my aunt's husband?"
"Oh, should I call you Uncle? Okay, Uncle. When are you taking me to eat KFC? Aunt won't take me; she's too unlovable."
In a moment of distraction, Shu Yuyu answered the phone and started chatting happily with the person on the other end.
"Shu! Yu! Yu!" Shu Ran quickly put down the spatula and hurried over to try to snatch the phone from his hand.
Unexpectedly, Shu Yuyu turned and ran away, refusing to give her the phone. "Aunt is going to hit me; Uncle, come quick and see..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the phone was snatched away by Shu Ran, who hung up angrily and said to him, "Shu Yuyu, I'm telling your dad on you tonight!"
Shu Yuyu cleverly pouted and quickly acted cute, saying, "Oh dear, auntie, please don't be angry! Mom says that pretty girls like you shouldn't get angry. If you get angry, you'll become ugly, and if you're ugly, no one will want you. Since I'm so cute, please be generous and forgive me just this once."
Shu Ran was so angry that she gritted her teeth. "Shu Yuyu, where did you learn to say such things?"
Shu Yuyu patted his chest and confidently said, "Of course, I taught myself! I'm so smart!"
He then made an analogy, "Every time Nini from next door gets angry, I always comfort her like this, and it works! Now she's completely attached to me."
Shu Ran: …………
It seemed she really needed to have a serious talk with her brother about the child's education.
Shu Mother had gone to class, and both her brother and sister-in-law had gone to open their shop, leaving only Shu Ran and Shu Yuyu at home.
Wherever Shu Ran went, Yuyu followed closely behind, never leaving her side.
After finishing dinner, Shu Ran took Shu Yuyu for a stroll around the kindergarten. She rarely helped teach the children anymore since there were enough staff, and those teachers were all graduates from professional schools.
Their knowledge and experience far exceeded hers as an amateur. So Shu Ran mostly just helped them with a few extracurricular classes, and that was about it.
Moreover, the kindergarten was well-organized and thriving under the management of Ji Changge and Dean Shang.
Shu Ran thought to herself that this was probably what her father wanted to see the most.
