Qin Xue teasingly kicked Chu Molin and raised her chin, “Did you hear that? Mom’s asking you what to do in the future!”

“Hey, you little girl, am I talking to you or Molin? Can’t you hear?” Nangong Shulan got so annoyed that she slapped her on the back.

“Ouch, mom, please calm down, I’m sorry, okay?” Qin Xue cried with a pained expression.

“Hmph, keep pretending,” Nangong Shulan said, looking at her eldest daughter speechlessly.

Chu Molin wanted to speak up for his wife, but when he heard his mother-in-law’s words, he decisively gave up and just sat there eating his noodles.

“Mom, can you stop ruining my image?” Qin Xue looked at her mother pitifully.

“No.” Nangong Shulan glared at her.

“Sis, I think you should say, ‘Mom, can you save some face for me in front of our Molin? My face has been thrown into the Pacific Ocean. Hahaha.'” Qin Jiale imitated Qin Xue’s voice and burst into laughter before she could finish her sentence.

“Yeah, mom, Lele is right, you really should save some face for me. What if your son-in-law bullies me in the future?” Although Qin Xue was talking about being bullied by Chu Molin, she kicked him under the table again for not helping her. Hmph, I’ll kick you to death.

But Qin Xue’s luck turned sour as her kicking leg got caught by a big hand.

Qin Xue glared at Chu Molin, hoping he’d let her go, but he seemed to ignore her. Fine, just wait till they’re back in their room, and she’ll show him!.

But Qin Xue didn’t know who would show whom when the time came.

“Sis, what’s wrong with you? Is your eye twitching?” Qin Jiale asked, looking at her sister’s face in confusion.

“Pfft, *cough* *cough* *cough*, Qin Jiale, what are you talking about? Which of your eyes saw my eye twitching?” Qin Xue spat out a mouthful of noodles, choking on the spicy chili pepper.

“Huh, sis, aren’t you dirty? My two eyes both saw it.” Qin Jiale looked at her sister disdainfully and moved her bowl farther away to avoid getting splattered.

“Mom, brother-in-law, aren’t you guys going to move away too?” After moving her own bowl, Qin Jiale called her mother and brother-in-law to do the same, making Qin Xue so angry she almost spat blood.

“Qin Jiale, you ungrateful ‘white-eyed wolf’, I’m your older sister! Do you have to ridicule me like this?” Qin Xue was so angry she wanted to scream. How could she not know that her sister could be even more annoying than her?

“It’s precisely because you’re my sister that I can’t help but speak up. Why should I care about others?” Qin Jiale smirked and chuckled.

“Mom, your youngest daughter is bullying people, she’s so disrespectful to the elders and the young.” Qin Xue directly complained to her mother.

Chu Molin’s lips curled up. His wife was really playing tricks, and he could hardly hold back his laughter.

“Don’t bother me with your sisterly quarrels. I didn’t see or hear anything,” Nangong Shulan said with a smile, her worried heart being distracted by her eldest daughter’s antics.

She’s really grown up, knowing how to use tactics to comfort others.

“Ah, it seems I’m a poor, neglected little thing. Chu Molin, am I pitiful?” Qin Xue looked pitifully at Chu Molin, who still held her foot.

“Sweetie, you’re not pitiful.” Chu Molin put down his chopsticks, patted her head, and said coolly.

“Pfft, brother-in-law, are you petting a puppy?” Qin Jiale couldn’t hold back her laughter, mocking Qin Xue for pretending to be pitiful.

“Little sister, there’s a saying: ‘what’s understood need not be explained.’ Have you remembered it?” Chu Molin smiled and looked at Qin Xue.

“Sigh, it seems I really am a pitiful, unloved worm. You guys just gang up and bully me.” Qin Xue shook her head, lowered her head to eat her noodles, while the corners of her mouth were still smiling.

It’s great to have a family like this, but it’s a pity they have to go home soon, and they’re going to the Imperial Capital. Who knows when they’ll have time to get together again?
