Yun Qiao: "It feels like a new uncle comes to your door."
Xi Lanting looked around.
The servants of the Qian family were busy coming in and out. Qian Changping and his wife sent away all the visitors and sat down specially to accompany Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting.
"Yes." He said.
Yun Qiao: "..."
Xi Lanting is really very self-conscious when it comes to love. If he doesn't want to hurt her, he will follow her from his words to his micro-expressions. For example, his "yes" at the moment, although his answer is concise, there is no irony.
Neither the tone nor the expression.
Yun Qiao always thought that if she fell in love with him, she would still be his buffoon, solving his worries and entertaining him.
After all, this is how he usually treats the people around him and Yun Qiao.
He was not in good health, so it was inevitable that he would vent his irritability.
When Xiao missed him, Yun Qiao did countless psychological construction, and she felt that she could do it.
She was also ready.
However, all preparations came to nothing.
Xi Lanting was frighteningly self-disciplined. He said he would allow her to offend and talk back, and he actually did it.
"Uncle Qi, you are so kind." She couldn't help but roll into his arms, unable to control herself.
Xi Lanting helped her steady: "Are you sure you want to act like a baby like this?"
This is in the Qian family.
Don't be happy on a whim only to mutter about being embarrassed later.
Yun Qiao hurriedly sat upright.
Aunt Qian brought out candies, cigarettes and fruits on big red lacquer trays and placed them on the coffee table.
Yun Qiao looked at the bright red tray and felt that it was not something they used every day. It must have been found temporarily from the warehouse.
"Yun Qiao eats candy." Aunt Qian said with a smile, "Master Qi, you smoke."
Xi Lanting did not go to get the cigarette. He just leaned slightly and said politely to Aunt Qian: "Aunt, please call me Lan Ting."
Mrs. Qian was stunned for a moment.
She has gained experience in being sociable, and she always smiles when she meets people, and her attitude immediately becomes more cordial, less estranged and respectful: "Lanting, if you don't want to smoke, just eat some fruit."
"Aunt, you're welcome. From now on we are one family. If you are polite, I will be cautious too," Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao almost choked to death on the candy.
Uncle Qi could actually say such nonsense - who has he ever been shy in front of?
She looked at him sideways.
Aunt Qian said a few words and went to the kitchen to check out the dishes for tonight's dinner. She said goodbye for a while. Qian Changping went upstairs to change his clothes. He came back from outside and wanted to change his clothes to entertain guests.
Yun Qiao and Xi Lanting were in the living room, and she teased him: "Uncle Qi is still cautious?"
"Of course." Xi Lanting said, "I am also a new uncle for the first time, how can I not be nervous?"
Yun Qiao couldn't help laughing.
She wanted to roll into his arms again and rub his face. It became a habit for the two of them to be intimate, and even outsiders couldn't help it.
However, she still had basic etiquette and did not dare to act recklessly outside, so she sat upright.
When the Qian children came back from school in the afternoon, they yelled and screamed when they saw Yun Qiao, especially the twins, who circled around Yun Qiao.
Two girls carried three hundred ducks, and the upstairs and downstairs of the house suddenly became lively. There were loud voices and laughter everywhere, and it felt unusually warm.
Xi Lanting had no expression on her face and was in a good mood.
The Qian family opens dinner at five o'clock.
Not only did the guests have to go back after eating, but also because Yun Qiao said that Xi Lanting didn't eat much at noon, so he might be hungry now.
In fact, Xi Lanting is not hungry.
Of course, he is not hungry just because he is not in good health and his stomach's digestive ability is a bit poor, not because he is a god who can make food fast.
"Sister, last time I went to a winery, someone gave me a bottle of wine. I was still young, so I kept it for you to celebrate your studies," Miss Qian Er said.
She ran up and got it.
However, the crab roe and crab meat noodles for dinner are not suitable with red wine.
Aunt Qian said: "I'll install it for you. You can take it with you when you leave. Don't open it when you eat."
