Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 578 - 558

Chapter 578: 558

Upon arriving at the Luo Family home, Luo Qianqian wore a face filled with anxiety, fearing a barrage of questions from the elder Luos. To her surprise, Yue Tingyu, upon seeing Luo Qianqian’s neck, remained calm and commented, "I’ve told you not to eat so much spicy food, it must have inflamed, right? Grandma will make you some lean pork congee later."

Luo Qianqian cast a doubtful look at Qin Wen, who gently shook his head and mouthed: I didn’t say.

Only then did Luo Qianqian breathe a sigh of relief, wrapping her arm around Yue Tingyu’s, feigning a look of grievance, shaking her arm and cooing in a whining, sweet manner that tugged at Yue Tingyu’s heartstrings, prompting her to hurriedly start preparing soup and porridge.

Old Master Luo watched Luo Qianqian’s coquettish behavior with a stern face, scrutinizing her.

Luo Qianqian was startled and quickly sat down next to Old Master Luo, behaving very obediently and dutifully, holding his hand, and sitting quietly with a smile.

Qin Nuan was speechless, recalling how just moments before, Luo Qianqian had a face as if someone owed her two million, and now here she was acting sweet. However, Qin Nuan expressed understanding, since, after all... it had become common for sensible children who left home to share only good news with their elders and not trouble them with worries.

Since no one knew, it was necessary to act as if nothing had happened, Qin Nuan maintained a calm expression.

Cong Rong, initially a bit nervous, relaxed upon seeing only two elders who cared about their granddaughter, standing next to Qin Nuan, quietly watching Luo Qianqian play coy, occasionally looking down at her phone and smiling.

"Qianqian!" At that moment, a voice called out.

Qin Wen’s face changed, showing a hint of panic, as the caller was Luo Yanwu, who was unaware of their supposed pretext.

Just as Qin Wen was about to intervene and explain the situation, Luo Yanwu had entered the room and was abruptly scolded by Old Master Luo, "You’re such an adult, yet still so panicky and reckless, what kind of image is that? Didn’t you see we have guests?" he said, giving Luo Yanwu a meaningful look.

Cong Rong was startled; she distinctly saw Old Master Luo giving a look in her direction to Luo Yanwu.

"Grandpa, ah, Qianqian." Unfortunately, the fool Luo Yanwu did not grasp the meaning behind Old Master Luo’s words, nearly getting caught by his loose lips.

Cong Rong clenched her fists, quickly pulling Luo Yanwu aside with a bright smile, gripping him tightly to prevent him from moving forward, while saying, "Qianqian ate too much spicy food and can’t talk, even if you call her like this, she can’t respond."

Luo Yanwu paused, "Qianqian wasn’t..." Then he saw Qin siblings repeatedly signaling, smacked his forehead, and with an embarrassed face said, "Oh, see, I was just too worried. Qianqian wouldn’t dare, right? Wouldn’t dare sneak food?" He squinted at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian shrank her neck, Aren’t you tired? Talking like this only makes it easier for Grandpa to realize, don’t you think?

But she still kept shaking her head in agreement.

Seeing the mistake on Luo Yanwu’s part, Qin Nuan quickly took Luo Qianqian’s phone, went outside to inform Luo Yanran, and asked him not to slip up.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief as she returned.

After the group had sat down for a while, Luo Xihan, Jia Ning and their spouses, along with Sun Zhichao and Ye Qianying, all arrived. Luo Qianqian’s face showed a bit of surprise, could it be because of Fourth Brother...?

"Qianqian," As soon as Jia Ning saw Luo Qianqian, she quickly walked over to her, squatting down to hug her, and after a long moment, released her fingers to gently touch her neck, "Are you alright?"

Ye Qianying also looked worried, her face full of blame mixed with reproach, "You’re an adult, you should be more careful."

The words were ambiguous and could be interpreted from the angle of those who knew the real situation or from Old Master Luo’s understanding of the issue with eating spicy foods.

Luo Qianqian let out a sigh of relief, repeatedly shaking her head and waving her hand while smiling and swinging the arm of an auntie she was holding.

After Luo Xihan had greeted Old Master Luo, she looked left and right, then pulling Qin Wen aside, she asked, "Qianqian is alright now?"

"She’s fine," Qin Wen shook his head.

"About that matter, keep it from the old master to avoid his temper..." Luo Xihan turned to look at the obedient-looking Luo Qianqian and sighed, "This child, Qianqian... Ah, too impulsive."

"Uncle don’t worry, we’re aware," Qin Wen nodded. They had directly instructed the doctor from the beginning to write a different cause in the records, and it was actually that young man who first thought of hiding it from the elderly at home.

Luo Xihan sighed, then turned back to glance at Qin Nuan and asked in a low voice, "Did Qianqian introduce her to Big Brother’s Second Brother?"

For Luo Yanhai, Luo Yanhao, and Luo Yanran, they usually addressed them directly as Xiao Yi, Xiao Si, Xiao Si respectively, but weirdly Luo Yanwu was ranked third, known as Xiao San, which always felt a bit...

Since the previous generation and Luo Xiying were unmarried, it was always the Fourth who spoke of himself.

Consequently, the titles of Boss, Laoer, Xiao San could only be used among Luo Yanhai’s generation, while the elders always called them with a Xiao prefix.

Thus, when they do not use nicknames, they referred to Luo Yanwu as the Second Brother of the Boss’s family.

Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, then, unable to help it, nodded with a mix of laughter and tears. You’re an elder, is it really okay to be so gossip-hungry?

Who knew Luo Xihan would nod repeatedly: "Qianqian has a good eye, Nuannuan and Xiao Si complement each other, and with such a dignified and gracious child, we can look forward to what comes next."

Qin Wen didn’t know what expression to make. Everyone else is a busy elder matchmaking, so how did it end up being Luo Qianqian, the youngest, who is doing all the work in the Luo Family?

"As democratic parents, we naturally won’t interfere with the children’s choices. We hope they can find love and marry the person they love, to avoid blaming us later. After all, as men, they must be in charge of their own decisions." Luo Xihan seemed to sense Qin Wen’s thoughts, smiled, and said softly, "Who knew each of them would act like they’re allergic to the opposite sex, if not for Qianqian, that fool Xiao Si might not have understood so quickly."

Luo Yanran’s confession, how could others know if Jia Ning didn’t? After all, it was her who originally took out the gift.

"Sometimes I feel Qianqian is too impulsive when it comes to emotions, which isn’t good," Luo Xihan shook her head. "But for a lifetime matter, we all hope Qianqian can get the best."

Qin Wen was taken aback, thinking about today’s young man; his expression darkened. Luo Qianqian always brightened up when mentioning Xu Tianyi; how would she react if she knew about this at home?

"But..."

"As for the future, who can say for sure? Time will prove everything. What will we say then?"

Qin Wen wanted to say more, but then saw a figure moving at the door; suddenly, the dimness there brightened—it was Luo Yanran, who was lighting the candles arranged on the ground with a lighter, looking slightly surprised.

It seemed to be a heart shape? Then, what was that pile of black heap behind it?

Not until Luo Yanran had lit all the candles and took out his phone to call Qin Nuan, who held Luo Qianqian’s phone inside the house, did a group of people, from old to young come out, not missing a single one.
