When Luo Shufan came to deliver something, he saw the table with several empty plates, smooth and shiny, giving no clue of what they once held.

Aside from Luo Qianqian, the four others were rubbing their stomachs, showing an expression of both enjoyment and pain, groaning softly.

"What’s going on?"

Luo Qianqian shrugged, "They ate too much. They’re the junior brothers of a friend who helped me when I was on Star Path."

"I see." Luo Shufan nodded, placing the items on the table, then looked at the four people, "Why not rest here first? It’s not too late to leave after you’re fully rested."

"Sorry to trouble you." The four felt a bit embarrassed as their stomachs were too stuffed to walk, turning red as they lost face at Nine Heavens Pavilion. If their masters and senior brothers knew, who knew what punishment awaited them.

But, it was truly delicious... 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

They rested until dinner time as the sky grew dark, deciding to leave the next day, so that night, the group stuffed themselves again.

They left, expressing endless gratitude while carrying things in their hands. Luo Qianqian shrugged, seeing no reason for such thanks.

Luo Shufan hugged her, watching the group leave with a serious face, "I don’t mind you making friends, but aren’t you a bit too showy? Haven’t you heard that wealth should not be flaunted?"

Luo Qianqian tilted her face, looking up at her brother’s chin, and shrugged, "The situation was urgent at the time, and I couldn’t be bothered with that. It’s a long story..."

"You only report the good news!" Luo Shufan knew his sister only shared funny and novel stories with the family while keeping the dangerous events to herself.

"Hehe, I learned from you." Back in the day, wasn’t Luo Shufan the same? Although he was by their father’s side, she didn’t know anyway.

"Now that dad has shown up in front of grandpa and grandma, there’s nothing much to worry about." Luo Shufan sighed lightly, tilting his head and bending down to rest his chin on Luo Qianqian’s head, "Dad even cried."

"Yeah." Luo Qianqian also felt emotional, not expecting that Luo Xinyue, who always claimed not to care, couldn’t stop her tears after seeing their parents.

Of course, all this happened in Luo Shufan’s courtyard, in front of their siblings.

"I just didn’t expect Grandma to treat Elvis so well, even preparing a courtyard for him." As for Luo Xinyue? Indeed, she’s quite unpopular. Luo Shufan took her to live together, denying her a separate courtyard to show the elders’ displeasure.

After all these years of not returning home or sending news, even neglecting her children. Finally, when she did care, she almost scared the whole family to death, almost forcing Luo Qianqian down an irreversible path.

The fact that Master didn’t really beat her was already good enough, let alone forgiving her. Dream on.

Master said that at the very least, the grievances his granddaughter suffered over the years must be vented.

Luo Qianqian didn’t mind, seeing the master angry brought her a sense of joy and relief, so she didn’t intervene.

"Brother, don’t you find this platform for your head a bit short?"

"Too short? ...Maybe a bit, but there’s nothing to be done about it. In life, you rarely get the best of both worlds. After all, this platform can walk by itself, right?" Luo Shufan laughed, raising his head, pulling Luo Qianqian to walk back to Nine Heavens Pavilion.

Elvis sat innocently among Luo Qianqian’s three sisters-in-law, and upon seeing the two, his eyes quickly filled with a pleading look.

"Ahem..." Luo Shufan, unable to bear this scene, opened his mouth to intervene, "Sisters-in-law, what’s going on?"

"Shufan, Qianqian, you’re back?" Qin Nuan glanced and then turned her head back to look at Elvis, looking serious, "Isn’t it said that children turn out better-looking if you look at beautiful people more? It’s rare to see someone with blond hair and blue eyes..."

"You plan to fool around for three years?" Luo Qianqian was speechless. Who would believe such nonsense?

If that worked, then why bother with genes? Just print a bunch of handsome and beautiful people’s pictures and look at them all day after giving birth.

"It would be fun if they didn’t look like the brothers." Luo Qianqian looked at Luo Shufan, sharing a smile.

Elvis laughed and cried at the same time, he just appeared recently, right? This couldn’t possibly be blamed on him?

"What are you talking about? Want me to hit you?" Qin Nuan naturally heard Luo Qianqian’s muttering, and turned her head, "Your brother is really fun, his face turns red after staring for a while, then his ears, and soon his whole body, more interesting than a shy plant."

"Is your everyday life this boring?" Luo Qianqian was astonished; so you were just playing?

She immediately walked to Qin Nuan’s side, gently rubbing her waist, as Qin Nuan had the largest belly and needed the most attention.

"Usually it’s fine, we have a chattering storytelling prenatal teacher, but today grandpa called them away." Cong Rong also turned his gaze away, his face slightly red, a bit embarrassed about fooling around with Qin Nuan.

Qu Lin also nodded, "They were called away early this morning, so it’s really boring."

"Called away? What for?" Luo Qianqian was surprised, no reason to let them leave the pregnant women, right?

"Oh, I forgot..." Luo Shufan immediately looked embarrassed, "Grandpa told me to have you come along, but I forgot after we went to send someone off."

...Who is fooling around for three years?

The three pregnant women collectively looked at Luo Shufan, shaking their heads speechlessly.

"That’s why I came to find you..." Elvis was very aggrieved. Who knew they couldn’t find the two, so he was blocked by the three sisters-in-law and used as a touch-me-not plant.

He couldn’t retreat or leave, they blocked him whenever he tried, fearing the worst if he knocked them over. So he resigned himself to being a potted plant staring target.

"What’s the matter?" Luo Qianqian was puzzled as she helped Qin Nuan up, "What major event requires missing out on our three ancestors? What if they get angry?"

"Nothing to get angry about." Qin Nuan immediately brushed Luo Qianqian’s hand away, "Alright, you guys should go quickly, it’s supposedly a commercial matter, we women handle childbirth, we don’t worry about such big things."

She said and gently pushed Luo Qianqian, "An Hao was looking for you just now too."

"Should I take you back first? Three pregnant women, it might not be safe." Though they were among family, inevitably she still worried.

"What could happen? Come on, we’ll watch over the precious croc, go quickly." Seeing Luo Qianqian’s concerned eyes, Qu Lin came over to support Qin Nuan, smiling, "Precious, please sit, don’t worry us."

"Xiao Linzi, bring me my dried plum."

The harmony made Luo Qianqian laugh and cry, yet she nodded and agreed, leaving with the two.

Xiao Tian and Mr. Black Cat wagged their big tails while lying near the three pregnant women, looking every bit like responsible security guards.
