Chapter 271 You really have a boyfriend!
"Hello, Aunt Lingyue!" Jiang Manxi greeted her immediately and nervously.
Qiu Lingyue was stunned. When she heard the servant say that someone was looking for her daughter, she thought it was Chi Yatou who came last time.
Unexpectedly, she was Yu Zhu's daughter.
“Man…” Qiu Lingyue recalled her name: “Manxi, right?”
"Yes!" Jiang Manxi nodded emphatically. "Auntie, you still remember my name."
Qiu Lingyue smiled gently, "How could I not remember? Come in and sit down, dinner will be ready soon."
Jiang Manxi had just happily followed Qiu Lingyue inside when she heard "dinner" and immediately slapped her head in disbelief.
Hey! Why did I arrive right at mealtime?! What will that lady think of me?!
"I'm sorry, Aunt Lingyue! I didn't mean to come here at this time to freeload!" Jiang Manxi apologized quickly, afraid that Qiu Lingyue would dislike her.
After all, it seemed that the last time we met, Auntie was quite unhappy, although I don't know why.
Qiu Lingyue and Ji Ran were both taken aback by her overly cautious reaction.
“You silly child,” Qiu Lingyue said, taking Jiang Manxi’s hand. “Your mother and I are as close as sisters. As long as you don’t mind, you’re welcome to come over for meals every day.”
Hearing this, Jiang Manxi was flattered and her eyes lit up: "Really?! Thank you, Auntie!"
Qiu Lingyue patted Jiang Manxi's hand, pulled her to sit on the sofa, and then picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured her a cup of hot tea.
Jiang Manxi sincerely held out both hands, holding the teacup, "Thank you, Auntie!"
After taking a sip of her drink, she was then drawn to the interior design of the house.
Huh? Why is this place so rudimentary? Although the furniture is top-notch, the walls and ceiling are quite... primitive.
Seeing this, Ji Ran automatically sat down on the sofa next to him, pressed the play button on the remote control, and continued watching TV.
Jiang Manxi's attention was also drawn away from the renovation by the sound of the television, and then she was surprised to find that they were actually watching Journey to the West at home?!
Is it the animated version? bur...
My mom told me that Aunt Lingyue was also a top student with a high IQ, but it turns out the mother and daughter are watching cartoons at home??
However, she dared not say anything and could only obediently watch along.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the clanging of kitchen utensils coming from the next room and thought that must be the kitchen.
The room layout is really compact.
Not long after, the door to the room opened, and the aroma of Chinese dishes wafted out.
"Dinner's ready!" Qin Wenzhou, wearing a lace apron, stood at the door.
"Huh?!" Jiang Manxi's expression turned utterly dismayed. She never expected that the person cooking inside was actually Uncle Qin...
Who knew that the usually serious and unsmiling top businessman had such a domestic side?
I really want to take a picture with my phone...
It wasn't until the flash went off in her hand that Jiang Manxi realized she had done it subconsciously.
Qin Wenzhou stood there stunned, while Ji Ran and Qiu Lingyue both looked in the direction of the flash.
The atmosphere suddenly became incredibly eerie.
Jiang Manxi quickly put away her phone, revealing an awkward, silly smile: "Um... Uncle Qin..."
Qin Wenzhou forced a bitter smile: "Manxi... you've come too."
At the same time, his hands silently began to untie his apron.
Although he had already lost all face in front of his wife, daughter, and son-in-law, the sudden exposure to outsiders, especially younger people who had known him for a long time, still caused him great distress.
Seeing this, Qiu Lingyue covered her mouth without making a sound, seemingly unable to suppress a laugh.
Ji Ran noticed it, and after a moment of surprise, her eyes lit up.
Unaware of the awkward situation, Qin Wenzhou, in an attempt to ease the tension, quickly offered a greeting:
"Perfect timing... Let's have dinner together. We made several classic Chinese dishes today."
"Okay!" Jiang Manxi jumped up from the sofa.
In the instant she sprang up, she caught a glimpse of the strange man setting up a table inside Qin Wenzhou through the gap beside her, and she was immediately stunned.
Wow!! That man is so handsome!
I originally thought my brother was already a top-tier face that was stunning at first glance and pleasing to the eye, but it turns out there are always people more beautiful than you.
She suddenly looked at Ji Ran as if she had thought of something else.
Ji Ran had just stood up to go eat when she was startled by her sudden, intense gaze:
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Manxi looked like she was about to cry: "You really have a boyfriend!"
The family of three, including Qi Mu in the kitchen, were all stunned.
Over the years, Qiu Lingyue and Qin Wenzhou had long since grown accustomed to Qi Mu's presence and had also come to accept his relationship with Ranran.
So much so that everyone forgot that Qi Mu was a ghost, even Qi Mu himself forgot.
Ji Ran was the first to regain her composure, simply letting out a frank "Hmm~".
Jiang Manxi sighed with a bewildered expression, "Fine~" She resigned herself to her fate.
Although she had already resigned herself to her fate the moment she learned that her brother had admitted to liking the person, it was only now that she had completely let go of her obsession.
Not understanding what was wrong with her, Qiu Lingyue simply patted her on the back.
"Let's go, Manxi, let's go eat."
"Okay!" Jiang Manxi nodded and obediently followed Qiu Lingyue.
The dinner table.
Qi Mu focused intently on peeling shrimp for Ji Ran, since he couldn't eat anything else.
Although he no longer cared whether more people would know his identity, he still decided to keep pretending to be a person so as not to scare people to death.
Jiang Manxi couldn't help but stare at Qi Mu.
Wow...it's perfect!
This is a work of art, isn't it? Art!
Flawless features, a smooth face shape, delicate bone structure, long eyelashes, and considerate behavior...
Forget it, my brother is no match for him.
He's truly convinced of his defeat!
Ji Ran frowned as he chewed on the shrimp Qi Mu had brought him, while looking at Jiang Manxi as if she were a lunatic.
Seeing this, Qiu Lingyue immediately interrupted:
“Manxi, come and try the sweet and sour pork ribs that your Uncle Qin made.”
At the same time, he picked up the serving chopsticks and placed a piece of spare rib into Jiang Manxi's bowl.
"Huh?! Okay!" Jiang Manxi suddenly came to her senses and immediately looked away, realizing her perverted behavior just now, and lowered her head in shame.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wenzhou immediately decided to clarify that he had not done it.
But when he looked up, he met the gaze of his ancestor, and he immediately realized, "Hehe, that's right~ I made all of these, Uncle Qin. Come and taste how they are."
Manxi has been keeping a close eye on her son-in-law; who knows what she's thinking?
I dare not let her know that my son-in-law's cooking skills are so top-notch; I have to cut back.
Ji Ran looked up at the table of dishes with a puzzled expression, then glanced at her parents' uncomfortable expressions.
