Chapter 514: Chapter 494: Who is the person behind the scenes? (Part 7)

"Huh? This looks familiar?" Luo Qianqian looked at the pendant with a strange expression, her mind somewhat muddled with vague impressions.

It was not from this lifetime, but from the last, in the few rare family photos, this pendant was always on An Zilan’s neck.

"This is..." Old Master Luo was also startled, his eyes filled with lonely nostalgia and a touch of sadness, as if covered by a thin mist.

"Qianqian." Yue Tingyu called Luo Qianqian over. Luo Qianqian obediently walked up to her, "This belonged to your dad when he was little, like yours, made from a single piece of jade."

Watching the on-and-off red string on Luo Qianqian’s neck, a trace of nostalgia crossed her eyes, "Qianqian, thank your mom for me." It was good to have something to remember her son by.

Luo Qianqian shook her head, "Mom didn’t send this just for grandma’s thanks, I will pass the message, but don’t overthink it, grandma, you still have Qianqian." Luo Qianqian snuggled into Yue Tingyu’s embrace, her face full of tenderness.

Qin Nuan’s eyes were filled with softness, quietly watching this scene.

Lin Jiayou even wiped the corner of his eye, it seems Qianqian was thoroughly pampered in the Luo family, the aunt was worrying too much.

"Your mom is good." Old Master Luo summed it up succinctly.

Luo Qianqian, proud after hearing this, raised her head, "Of course, that’s my mom, the best mom." Even at her grandfather’s house, even if her grandparents didn’t like An Zilan, Luo Qianqian was still An Zilan’s little treasure.

"No one’s competing with you." Qin Nuan, hearing this, chuckled, "Still acting spoiled at this age, have no shame."

Qin Wen glanced at his sister, said nothing, but his eyes were full of doubt, clearly expressing, ’Weren’t you just as spoiled at thirteen or fourteen? Perhaps even more so.’

Lin Jiayou smiled, "It’s rare to see Qianqian’s childish side."

Indeed, Qin Nuan knew, Luo Qianqian wasn’t just a clueless child.

"Won’t you let your brother sit down?" Old Master Luo said sternly, watching his little granddaughter snuggle in her grandmother’s embrace, not cute at all. Hadn’t she seen her grandfather?

"Brother Jiayou, please sit, Nuannuan, Second Brother Qin, you too sit. I’ll go fetch some water. May I ask what the lords and ladies would like to drink?" Before anyone could answer, she pressed down Yue Tingyu who wanted to stand, wearing a big grin, "I think plain water is just perfect, refreshing and hydrating."

Then everyone watched as Luo Qianqian scampered into the kitchen, completely tuning everyone out.

Qin Nuan rolled her eyes, no chance to order something they liked, yet still promoting the benefits of plain water, ridiculous.

"This child, Qianqian." Old Master Luo laughed helplessly, his face filled with indulgence. For this only granddaughter, the Luo family couldn’t pamper her enough, how could they possibly reprimand her?

Lin Jiayou also laughed, his face full of relief, "Qianqian always has her own mind, and does everything her own way."

Qin Nuan nodded repeatedly, "Isn’t that the truth? This child is quite stubborn."

"Whose child are you talking about?" Luo Qianqian came out with the water, just in time to hear this and wore a look of dissatisfaction, "I am a little fairy."

"Yes, yes, Qianqian the little fairy." Qin Nuan quickly agreed, her face all smiles.

Luo Qianqian hmphed, poured the water for everyone, then obediently sat down, "Your little fairy has poured Jelly Jade Dew, please enjoy it slowly."

"Just be shameless." Qin Nuan picked up a cup and took a sip, all smiles, "Is it XX Spring Water, a bit sweet?"

"How much did XX Spring Water pay you? I’ll double it," Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow, bantering with Qin Nuan and keeping everyone entertained.

Old Master Luo sipped the water and actually agreed, "It is indeed slightly sweet."

"That’s because I added honey," Luo Qianqian said with a face full of pride.

"What do you mean ’added honey’?" A person walked in from outside the house, and on closer inspection, it was Luo Yanwu.

"Third brother, you’re back so early." Luo Qianqian’s face lit up with surprise, then she stood up, pulled Luo Yanwu over to Lin Jiayou, and introduced them with a giggly smile, "This is my Brother Jiayou, Brother Jiayou, this is my third brother, Luo Yanwu."

"Hello." Lin Jiayou stood up and extended his hand.

Luo Yanwu looked Lin Jiayou up and down, hesitated for a moment, his expression cold, "Have you ever bullied Shufan and Qianqian?"

Luo Qianqian’s face drew a blank, how did everyone know about that?

"Yes, but that’s in the past, from now on I am their brother, and I will look after my siblings," Lin Jiayou said seriously, his face stern as he made the promise.

Luo Yanwu finally seemed somewhat reassured and shook Lin Jiayou’s hand, "We are all brothers."

At that moment, two unrelated people reached a consensus.

"Grandpa, Grandma." After introducing them, Luo Yanwu immediately went to greet Old Master Luo and Yue Tingyu, signalled to Qin Wen and Qin Nuan, and then sat down to sip the water Luo Qianqian had just poured for him, "You really added honey, it’s really sweet."

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, but after exchanging glances with Qin Nuan, she felt something was odd. Shouldn’t she ask about Cong Rong and the two of them? Or were they shy in front of the elders?

"By the way..." As soon as Luo Yanwu started speaking, Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan both turned their gaze towards him, but then they heard him say, "It’s almost the 11th, do Qianqian and Nuannuan have any plans?"

Luo Qianqian raised her eyebrows, "I’m planning on a little wine and song."

Upon hearing Luo Qianqian’s words, Qin Nuan quickly added, "And maybe ask the blue sky over a drink."

"Stop talking nonsense, what wine for the children." Old Master Luo said sternly, clearly displeased.

Luo Qianqian quickly added, "I’m just joking, I need to go home and check on mom, and I bought some stuff for my brother and sister too."

An Zilan’s pregnancy news was already known, and lots of stuff had already been sent back home, what you bought isn’t anything special. Old Master Luo watched his granddaughter pick up the casually dropped bags from the floor and silently criticized her.

Seeing a little dress, he was reminded of Luo Yanran’s childhood, and miraculously, no one in the Luo family had any questions.

"By the way, Qianqian, someone sent you a package recently." Yue Tingyu suddenly remembered something, pulling out a courier package from under the coffee table.

The package wasn’t large, about the size of a shirt box, carefully checking the sender’s information, she found the sender’s name blatantly written as ’Santa Claus,’ which left her speechless, but the address caught her interest, it was from overseas.

The only people she could think of were Luo Shufan and Xu Tianyi, whom she communicated with by email.

But looking at the handwriting, it didn’t resemble either of theirs, making her even more puzzled. The box wasn’t heavy and made no ticking sound, leaving Luo Qianqian undecided about whether or not to open it.

Seeing her hesitant, Qin Nuan couldn’t help but laugh, "What, could it be a bomb?"

Luo Qianqian glared at her, had she said that? She was indeed suspicious, though.

"Such a thing wouldn’t get past security," Luo Yanwu said bluntly.

Luo Qianqian felt relieved, yet still had a suspicious expression on her face. Upon opening it, however, she was surprised to find...
