Chapter 435: 440 Winning Hearts2_1

"If you truly want to take revenge on her, you should have made her go to jail, not letting her wander around and dine out freely, living a carefree life!" Lin Xiangwan said thoughtfully.

"But you should know, there is a kind of torture that is even more agonizing than them being in jail!", Qin Muchuan replied with a relaxed grin.

Lin Xiangwan widened her eyes in curiosity. "What kind of revenge is that?"

"I haven’t thought of it yet!"

"See! You haven’t really planned to take revenge on them!" Lin Xiangwan accused.

"I’ll figure it out eventually!" Qin Muchuan’s expression turned cold.

Lin Xiangwan wanted to say something, but then remembered this was a family matter after all. Regardless of how detestable Xu Feng’e was, she was still his father’s wife. Maybe under such circumstances, no matter how much he detested her, he could only downplay the issue?

If that was the case, then she could understand.

However, should she still take revenge on Xu Feng’e?

Lin Xiangwan began to hesitate.

Maybe Qin Muchuan didn’t want that at all?

Perhaps the whole Qin Family wouldn’t want her to stir up any problems?

Lin Xiangwan kept reminding herself in her heart that since she had joined the Qin Family, she was a member of the family. Any hatred that could be let go, should be let go.

Tongtong was brought back to the Qin Family and left with Qin Muchuan, which in fact could be considered a good thing.

Otherwise, with her alone, she would not be able to take care of two children.

Oh well, even though their intentions were wrong, the outcome was good, so she shouldn’t stay angry, right?

She kept telling herself, comforting herself, to let go of the unnecessary demons in her heart.

..................

"How long are we going to stay here?" Tongtong asked her mother while unpacking.

About a week, I guess!" Lin Xiangwan estimated.

Even though the conditions at the Ancestral Residence were excellent and her grandparents treated her well, it couldn’t compare to the comfort of her own home.

When she encountered something disagreeable or Qin Muchuan was being annoying, she could speak her mind freely.

Living here, on the other hand, how could she dare to say anything?

"Oh..." Qin Yutong nodded. "In that case, I won’t stuff all these clothes into the wardrobe, to avoid having to take them out again when we go back home!"

"Where do you like to live?" Lin Xiangwan asked curiously.

Duoduo had always been living here before.

"Wherever mom is, I am!" Qin Yutong whispered before she plunged into her mother’s arms.

Lin Xiangwan held her tight and smiled joyously. "Hehe..."

"Shh..." Qin Yutong said mysteriously in a soft voice. "But mom, never tell the grandparents about this, they would feel very sad if they heard this!"

"OK!" Lin Xiangwan made a gesture. "And where’s Ranran?"

As there wasn’t a room prepared for Ranran in the Ancestral Residence, and his sister’s room was quite spacious and the bed was big enough, they let Ranran stay here at first.

"I don’t know, he hasn’t opened his luggage yet!" Qin Yutong claimed without certainty.

"He really isn’t as sensible as his sister!" Lin Xiangwan remarked.

Tongtong was quite pleased.

At that moment, Lin Haoran was bonding with the family dog.

"Woof, woof..." The dog began barking ferociously at the sight of Lin Haoran, visibly rattled.

Lin Haoran stood a meter away from the dog, having a serious conversation, "Dog, I’m your young master, Lin Haoran, Ranran. You should remember me, you mustn’t bark anymore!"

The dog, fixed its big eyes on him and kept barking. "Woof, woof..."

"Didn’t I tell you, I’m your master, why are you still barking?" Lin Haoran got cross, and tapped the dog’s head with the elongated hollow end of a shoe horn.

"Woof, woof..." Being teased in such a manner made the dog even angrier and it barked even louder.

"Hey..." Lin Haoran, utterly clueless, stared at it, crouching down to level with its eyes. "Tongtong is your master, and I look just like her, I’m her brother, why am I not your master too? Why don’t you like me?"

"Woof, woof..." The dog seemed to recognize the name Tongtong and slightly lowered its barking volume.

"I know I wasn’t good to you before. I even threw stuff at you, but that’s because you were too fierce. Please forgive me. Can you stop being so hostile towards me, please?" Lin Haoran pleaded again.

"Woof, woof..." The dog, with its eyes glued on him, seemed quite disgruntled as if it was expressing its displeasure and distress.

"Look, I brought for you your favorite bone... I secretly took it from the kitchen!" Lin Haoran offered him a bowl full of steaming hot ribs.

They must have just been cooked!

"Woof, woof..." The dog became extremely restless, scratching the ground with its tiny paws, and spinning around in circles on the spot.

It even stuck its tongue out, repeatedly licking its mouth and face.

Seeing the dog pining for the ribs just as he did, Lin Haoran broke into a smile. "Just as I thought, you also love food. You love ribs, just like me, right?"

"Woof, woof..." The dog barked, this time noticeably softer.

"So, will you still bark at me in the future?" Lin Haoran asked.

"Woof, woof..."

"Look at you, I told you not to bark, but you’re still doing it. If you bark, I won’t let you eat!"

"Whine..." The dog whined and whimpered.

Lin Haoran laughed. "That’s more like it, here..." He then gave the dog all the ribs at once.

..................

As a new bride, she needed to make a good impression, right?

Having heard that the grandparents preferred sweet and sour spare ribs, Lin Xiangwan spent a substantial amount of time at the market, careful to choose high-quality ribs.

She then cooked them thoroughly, until they fell off the bone.

She set them aside, planning to season them right before dinner.

Before she cooked, she even went to the grandparents to announce, "I’m going to showcase my culinary skills today, so that you can both taste my cooking."

The grandfather smiled and looked at her rather surprisingly. "You can cook?"

"Of course!" Lin Xiangwan exclaimed with a gleam of pride in her eyes while talking and grinding ink on the inkstone.

In the meantime, the grandmother was busily applying her red lipstick, and kept glancing at herself in the mirror. "Wanwan, what do you think of this color lipstick of mine, is it pretty?"

"Yeah..." Lin Xiangwan leaned closer for a better look. "It looks very nice!"

The grandmother beamed at the compliment and said to Lin Xiangwan. "I’m also looking forward to tasting your cooking. If it’s good, I’ll reward you!"

"Ah..." Lin Xiangwan was both surprised and excited. "Great, then I’ll look forward to your reward!"
