My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 527 - 537: Competing for Status in the Family

Qin Miaomiao immediately admitted her mistake: "I misspoke. My Ninth Uncle is handsome, suave, charming—like a pear blossom leaning elegantly on a crabapple! Looking at the whole world, who could possibly match up to my Ninth Uncle? Right? So, Xiao Chen, you should aim to be like Ninth Uncle. Even if you want to remain single, at least finish exploring the flower fields first. Sample the world’s women, then if you still want to be single, it won’t be too late."

Mr. Jiu glanced at her lightly: "Me, exploring flower fields? Hm? Little Jin’er, you really must think life’s gotten too comfortable for you."

"Ninth Uncle, I’m teaching Xiao Chen a lesson here. He can’t follow the same old path as you. Do you know how many people are begging to be my godmother? Yet you don’t even have a single female creature near you. If you actually liked men, I’d be okay with that too."

He tapped her forehead lightly with a finger and chuckled:

"What, are you trying to bait me into saying something?"

"No, no, no. I just think you staying single like this is such a waste of your gifts."

Mr. Jiu gave a faint laugh: "I’ve already had the best woman in this world. No one else can compare."

Qin Miaomiao froze for a moment upon hearing that. Such a beautiful confession, but it left a bittersweet sting.

"Sorry, Ninth Uncle, I shouldn’t have brought up something that makes you sad."

"It’s fine. When you buy the estate, just let me know in advance—I’ll shamelessly move in."

Qin Miaomiao laughed: "Really? That’s great! I’ll get in touch with the people there right away to finalize the place. Then we can decorate it properly—it’ll probably turn into a big project."

Mr. Jiu waved his hand dismissively: "No need, I’ll have my people handle it." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"No way! I absolutely insist on paying for the estate myself. You’re not allowed to contribute. Otherwise, I’ll get angry. Xiao Chen, don’t you agree?"

Ou Beichen nodded: "Yes, sis is absolutely right. I like being taken care of by sis."

Qin Miaomiao ruffled his hair: "Oh, you’ve even learned how to be a freeloader, huh? But honestly, with that face of yours, there are plenty of people who’d line up to sponsor you."

"Sis, that doesn’t sound like a compliment."

"But it is—I’m praising you for having top-tier looks!"

Later that evening, just as Qin Miaomiao was about to let Lu Qing know she was planning to stay, the sound of a car came from outside. Lu Qing stepped out of the car and entered the house.

The three of them... were having dinner. The butler had personally cooked the meal since there were no staff available. He had no choice but to do it himself.

All three simultaneously looked up at him.

Qin Miaomiao perked up: "Honey, why are you here?"

Mr. Jiu’s expression was cold: "You showed up."

Ou Beichen also remained aloof: "Brother-in-law arrived."

The White Lion was crouched at Qin Miaomiao’s feet, while the little white tiger squatted on the other side. There was raw meat set next to them, and altogether the scene looked oddly harmonious.

He walked over without hesitation and sat next to Qin Miaomiao.

"Honey, I’ll go serve you some food."

Lu Qing chuckled. There was a hint of smugness in his smile: "Thank you, wifey."

As he finished speaking, he cast a provocative glance toward the other two.

His expression was as arrogant as it could be, practically begging someone to punch him.

The meal was authentic Western cuisine; his portion was medium-cooked beef, still with a touch of blood.

Mr. Jiu wiped his mouth with a napkin and said casually: "Good son-in-law, Little Jin’er told me you guys plan to live together in the future and even said it was your idea. Thanks for that."

He was doing it on purpose!

Lu Qing narrowed his eyes, realizing that Qin Miaomiao still hadn’t given up on the idea! Unbelievable!

He smiled faintly and said:

"Ninth Uncle has always been used to living alone. I imagine you wouldn’t be willing to share your space with us, right?"
