"Mr Xiao, you should know that my sister-in-law has such a big belly. Don't try to get even with her." Qin Xiaobao jumped in front of Jian Ran to block her way, not wanting other men to look at her sister-in-law one more time.
Qin Xiaobao usually despised Qin Yue and thought that it was not good for him to be here or anywhere else. She didn't care about that, but she would still help her brother at critical moments.
Xiao Qinghe smiled and said, "Isn't this Polaris? I remember when you were in school in the United States, you were just a little girl. After so many years of not seeing each other, you were actually quite pretty."
When Qin Yue went to university, Qin Xiaobao was only 12 or 13 years old. At that time, she was extremely cute and lively, and she liked to stay by Qin Yue's side whenever she had nothing to do, so it wasn't surprising that Xiao Qinghe still remembered her.
"You know me?" Qin Xiaobao stared at Xiao Qinghe."Oh, you're that??"
With a name appearing in his mind, he was clearly about to blurt it out, but he just couldn't figure out who it was.
"Jackxiao." Xiao Qinghe reminded him.
"So it's you. I remember now." Qin Xiaobao nodded in realization."At that time, you loved to guess the thoughts of the people around you. Are you still trying to guess now?"
Xiao Qinghe smiled and said, "It's my job to guess people's thoughts. If I don't guess, then I don't have any food to eat, so I have to continue guessing."
Seeing the two of them chatting enthusiastically, Jian Ran did not interrupt and instead quietly sized up Xiao Qinghe.
To be honest, she didn't hate Xiao Qinghe at all. She even felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with him. The reason he didn't want to get close to him was because he saw too much into the minds of others. There was almost no privacy in front of him.
If he hadn't given her that kind of clue the last time they met, she thought she and he would have become friends.
"Boss Qin, we will take care of the things that you have instructed us to do."
Hearing the sound, Jian Ran looked over and saw Qin Yue, who was wearing a grey shirt and black trousers, leading Liu Yong and Xu Huiyi downstairs. They were walking behind him and talking about work matters.
Qin Yue nodded: "Ok." "Then go and busy yourselves first."
"Long time no see!" Xiao Qinghe was the first to greet Qin Yue.
"Long time no see!" Qin Yue nodded coldly. He still had his usual aloof look in front of outsiders.
He then said, "Aunt Chen, please prepare some tea and dishes and bring them to the guest room."
Xiao Qinghe said, "We have been friends for so many years, so there's no need to trouble ourselves. Besides, you know I don't like sweets, "
"Jian Ran likes it." Qin Yue's answer was very straightforward. He wanted the other party to stop thinking about it. He wasn't prepared for him, but for his wife.
Xiao Qinghe: "..."
As expected, it was still the same familiar piece of wood, the familiar Qin Muzhi.
"This way, please." Qin Yue made a gesture of "please", then pulled Jian Ran up. He lifted the hair at her forehead and put it behind her ears."You too."
"Brother, I'll go too." Qin Xiaobao also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Qin Yue's cold gaze. She pouted unwillingly and said in her heart, "Stingy brat, your sister-in-law and baby are safe. You're still angry with me."
In the guest room, Aunt Chen brought the snacks and water. Qin Yue picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of snack and brought it to Jian Ran's mouth: "Eat a little first, don't be hungry anymore."
Xiao Qinghe looked at Qin Yue with his eyes wide open. Was this really the Qin Muzhi that he knew?
It was hard to believe that cold man could have such a gentle and considerate side to him.
Xiao Qinghe was sitting across from her, and Qin Yue did so, which made Jian Ran a bit embarrassed to open her mouth. She said, "I'm not hungry. If you have anything you want to say, then I'll go out first."
"Jian Ran, you don't have to go out. The things we talked about have to do with you." The one who spoke was Xiao Zhen Zhi, and this time, he was not addressed as Mrs. Qin, but directly by Jian Ran.
Jian Ran also noticed him and looked at him with a puzzled expression."It has something to do with me?"
She didn't have any personal contact with Xiao Qinghe, he said it was related to her. Could it be that she was sick again and he didn't know about it?
"Don't be too nervous. With my admiration here, I won't eat you." Xiao Qinghe still had a sloppy tone, as if nothing could ever make him serious.
However, he was right. With Qin Yue here, was she afraid that he would eat her? Jian Ran thought like this as she placed her hand in Qin Yue's palm, making him hold her tightly.
No matter what, as long as he was by her side, tightly holding her hand, she would no longer be afraid.
"These snacks look delicious, so I'd like to try them too." Xiao Qinghe raised his eyebrows slightly as he said with a smile, "Jian Ran, can I have a try?"
"Mister Xiao, this way please." As the host, Jian Ran was especially embarrassed to have the customer say such words.
But Qin Yue didn't feel it at all. Xiao Qinghe also didn't feel it. After knowing Qin Yue for so many years, he understood Qin Yue's personality. The more he treats you courteously, the more unfamiliar he is with you.
Why did Xiao Qing take a piece of dessert and put it into his mouth? After that, he said with a disdainful expression, "You girls really like to eat sweet things. These sweet and greasy things really aren't suitable for us men."
"Tell me what Mr. Xiao likes to eat. I will cook for you tonight." Jian Ran said.
"It would be the best if you could eat the food cooked by your own sister." Xiao Qinghe said.
"Er????" Jian Ran didn't continue her sentence. She just pretended that Xiao Qinghe didn't explain it clearly.
"My name is Xiao Qinghe. I'm the eldest son of your father, Xiao Yuanfeng. I'm also your elder brother." Xiao Qinghe suddenly changed from his usual sloppy attitude and said very seriously.
"W-what?" Jian Ran looked at Xiao Qinghe in shock. Seeing his serious expression, it didn't seem like he was lying.
She looked at Qin Yue. Qin Yue hugged her and nodded at her: "What he said is true."
"He and I??" Jian Ran was shocked beyond words.
This event happened too suddenly, and Jian Ran wasn't prepared in her heart at all. She looked at Xiao Qinghe and Qin Yue blankly.
Ever since she knew that she was not Jian Zhengtian's biological daughter, Jian Ran had always wondered who her father was. Who were there in the family? What were they really like?
In this period of time, she had thought about many things and never thought that she would have met her biological brother long ago.
Furthermore, looking at Xiao Qinghe's attitude, he did not reject her and even accepted her identity.
Every time she saw Qin Xiaobao and Qin Yue, Jian Ran would think how wonderful it would be if she had a brother who could control her pain and pamper her.
Now, her beautiful dream had come true, but she could not believe it.
