Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 707 - 687: The most important thing for a girl is to protect herself
Old Master Luo couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Luo Qianqian, watching his granddaughter act all serious, where was there any serious atmosphere? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
But he was still deadly serious, "The most important thing when you’re out and about is to protect yourself, understand?"
"Understood, I will heed the commander’s teachings!" Luo Qianqian maintained her serious facade, and Old Master Luo shook his head with a smile. With this child, where could seriousness take hold?
"And you too, Nuannuan." Old Master Luo turned to Qin Nuan, who was giggling on the side, "All of you kids shouldn’t be so heroically minded. The most important thing for a little girl is to protect herself!"
"Got it!" Qin Nuan immediately stood at attention and saluted as well.
Luo Qianqian was holding back laughter on the floor, while Baozi, seeing Luo Qianqian sitting so upright, chose to sit next to her, across from Old Master Luo, swishing his big tail back and forth.
Luo Xihan shook her head helplessly, but also kept a serious face, "Qianqian, if you keep getting into trouble don’t blame your Second Uncle for locking you up at home regardless of whether you’re my niece or not, forbidding you to go anywhere!"
Luo Qianqian opened her eyes wide in innocence, defending herself, "But Second Uncle, if someone’s going to hurt me, Second Brother, Fourth Brother, Big Brother, and Third Brother would all protect me for sure, right? It’s their duty as older brothers, isn’t it?"
"Of course," Luo Xihan said with a hint of pride, but thinking about his youngest son, he sighed, as long as he doesn’t make trouble that’s good enough.
"Well, I’m a big sister too, and it’s my duty to protect my younger brother, right?" Luo Qianqian grinned, taking out her phone, stood up, and snuggled up to Old Master Luo, "Grandpa, look, this is my An Hao, doesn’t he look like the most handsome monkey?"
"Are you complimenting him?" Luo Xihan leaned over behind Old Master Luo to look at the screen, nodding, "He’s quite good-looking, with clear eyes and handsome brows."
..."Second Uncle, he doesn’t even have eyebrows yet..." Luo Qianqian looked at An Hao on the screen, looking from left to right, still unable to find any trace of eyebrows.
"He looks well, seems like he’d be a good eater," Old Master Luo commented.
??? Since when did being a good eater become a compliment? ???
Luo Qianqian helplessly took her phone over to Qin Nuan, "Nuannuan, tell me where are my little monkey’s eyebrows? How does he look like someone who’d be a good eater?"
Qin Nuan had already received the happy news blast from Luo Qianqian before, although the photo was not as comprehensive as the one now on Luo Qianqian’s phone. Qin Nuan couldn’t help but be amazed, "He doesn’t look like you at all..."
"Speaking of which, he doesn’t look like my mom either... I suspect whether he’s really my mom’s own child?" Luo Qianqian frowned.
Old Master Luo and Luo Xihan both widened their eyes on the side. Was this even possible?
"Ahem, I mean, could it be he was switched at birth?" Luo Qianqian, noticing Qin Nuan’s gaze and the looks from the other two, could only clarify her statement, "He just doesn’t look as cute as I do."
"You really never forget to compliment yourself in everything you do, by the way, there’s an all-you-can-eat dessert event tomorrow for 35 bucks, do you want to go?" Qin Nuan saw Luo Qianqian pull out her phone and quickly took out her own to show her a picture. Naturally, the photo wasn’t of any desserts.
"Ah, of course, of course." Luo Qianqian nodded vigorously, frowning at the person on the screen. Had Qin Nuan not mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten something very important.
The photo on the screen was of the blond Elvis. Qin Nuan’s original intention was to visit Elvis, to check on him and bring him some gifts as a gesture of comfort.
But through Elvis, Luo Qianqian thought of her major, and from there she thought of Hei Yu, and then the thought of that man crossed her mind, wondering whether her senior had contacted him yet.
That hacker, the strange man.
Luo Xihan frowned, "We’re not short of money at home, don’t get carried away with fun and end up with a bad stomach. If you want to eat, you can have it anytime."
"Second Uncle, you don’t get it, that’s the romance of a girl," Qianqian stuck out her tongue, without offering too much of an explanation.
Luo Xihan, on the contrary, thought that was quite normal. Which teenage girl would tell her family everything?
In the evening, Qin Wen and Qin Liang had also arrived at the Luo Family’s home. Everyone gathered around the table, happily hotpotting, eating roasted duck, and desserts—a cake that Jia Ning had specifically purchased after consulting Luo Yanran.
The meal left Qianqian so full that she slumped onto the chair with her hand on her belly.
Even Baozi got his share of half a basin of meat and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Qin Nuan couldn’t help teasing her, "Looking at you, one would think you didn’t eat all day outside."
Upon hearing Qin Nuan’s remark, everyone silently turned to look at Qianqian; if that were the case...
"Does someone have no shame? In front of boys, you’ve got to maintain an image okay?" Qianqian patted her stomach, "Now it’s just us family, the image and all that, I’ll throw that out first, I want to enjoy..." Qianqian’s face was a mix of relaxation and happiness. Heaven knows how hard it was for her, a glutton, to maintain an image and eat slowly and politely at meals, even though her image did end up crumbling a bit, but she still tried to keep up appearances when she wasn’t very hungry.
"She really has grown up." Yue Tingyu’s face beamed contentedly, "Our little Qianqian even knows to maintain her image now, time really flies."
"Isn’t that the truth? It feels like just yesterday Qianqian was at the door, hugging Luo Yanran, crying and begging him not to kill her," Old Master Luo added with a laugh, shaking his head slightly, "Time flies indeed; so many years have passed without us noticing."
Qin Nuan looked at Qianqian, surprised. There was this incident? She would have to ask Luo Yanran about it when she got back.
"Grandpa, can we forget about that?" Qianqian pouted, "If you’re going to bring that up, I might as well pick a fight with Fourth Brother."
Old Master Luo laughed heartily, "No worries, he wouldn’t dare to fight back, go ahead and hit him."
Luo Xihan also nodded with a laugh. She knew her own son well, Luo Yanran had been looking for excuses to be near his sister from a young age, how could he bear to bully her? Even though that joke had cost him quite a bit at the time.
"Some memories are too painful to revisit." Qianqian still looked unwilling, "Instead of that, I’d rather remember all the delicious food Grandma made... Ah, right..."
An abrupt scream startled everyone.
"I think I forgot to do my homework..." Qianqian said with a face full of embarrassment.
Qin Wen sighed looking at Qianqian, "You’ve got two more days; you’ll make it." She’d almost forgotten her own last name from all the fun, so remembering she had homework was already pretty impressive.
"But I don’t remember what the homework was..." Qianqian said, touching her head awkwardly, "Looks like I’ll have to pay a visit to Elvis tomorrow." She mentioned this offhandedly; if someone knew she went to visit Elvis, it wouldn’t matter anyway, and she couldn’t think of anything else.
Qin Liang just rolled his eyes, looking at the specialties Qianqian had brought for him and Qin Wen on the table, then at the pendant on his sister’s wrist. Clearly, there was some favoritism, and he didn’t want to deal with Qianqian anymore.
Theirs were incredibly ugly, having whatever strange designs, while Qin Nuan’s were as attractive as could be. Where was the gender equality in that?
Qianqian chuckled, "Might as well have him help me with my homework or something."
"Qianqian!" Old Master Luo glared.
Qianqian quickly lowered her head, "I was just saying that, he likes me so much, he even helps me with my homework..."
