Chapter 1031: Chapter 1031 I’m Not Friends with You Anymore

The couple rarely had moments alone together, yet they enjoyed a heartfelt duet.

Auntie Tang came over, "Qiaoqiao, you have a phone call."

Luo Qiao stood up, "I’ll be right there."

After leaving the room, "Auntie Tang, have my aunt and the others not come back yet?"

Auntie Tang smiled gently, "Not yet, I’m afraid they’ve taken the kids to buy roast duck."

Luo Qiao laughed, "My aunt really spoils them."

Auntie Tang’s face was all smiles, "Yanyan and Yueyue are so cute and charming, if we don’t spoil them, who will we spoil? Old Master Gu mentioned a few days ago that he wanted to eat roast duck too."

Luo Qiao went to the front yard, "Auntie Tang, have Stone and Taifeng not come out yet?"

Auntie Tang nodded, "They haven’t come out; the end-of-term exams are coming up and both kids are studying hard."

"Then in a bit, let’s prepare a cup of milk and some snacks for them, let them take a rest."

"Sigh, alright, I’ll go do that."

Luo Qiao picked up the phone in the living room, "Hello, who is it?"

"Luo Qiao, it’s me, Ji Lin."

"How did you get this number?"

"I was anxious and couldn’t reach your home, so I called Rong Daniang, and she said you’ve been staying at your grandparent’s place recently. After trying to call several times to no avail, I had no choice but to contact your sister-in-law Xiao Ya, and she suggested I try this number."

"Mm, I took the day off today and brought the kids to my grandpa’s."

"I called to tell you I found two properties. When will you have time to come and see them? If they suit us, we can settle on them so I can prepare the next steps."

"Okay, just tell me where they are. Today probably won’t work; it’s getting late. How about tomorrow noon? I can go straight there from school, and we can get the materials ready for decoration before the New Year. After the holidays, when it’s warmer, we can start decorating."

"Alright, see you tomorrow at noon."

After noting down the address, they chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

Seeing it was getting late, Luo Qiao entered the kitchen to help Auntie Tang, preparing purple rice porridge and baked pancakes. As they were about to start, Stone and Taifeng also came into the kitchen.

Under everyone’s loving attention, Taifeng had also become much more outgoing, "Auntie, my uncle and I have come to help."

Luo Qiao smiled, "Finished your homework?"

Taifeng nodded, "I finished my homework a while ago; it’s just that exams are coming up, and Uncle wants me to review a bit more."

Luo Qiao looked towards Stone who had followed, "Stone, how’s your studying going?"

Stone took the vegetables from Luo Qiao’s hands, "Don’t worry, sis."

Luo Qiao picked up a potato and began peeling it, "After the exams, are you two still going to special training classes?"

Stone nodded, "Yes, both Taifeng and I are aiming for military schools, so we can’t skip the training classes."

Luo Qiao patted Stone’s shoulder, "I have faith in you guys, well done."

Just then, a shout from the yard, "Mom, come out and see what we’ve brought home!"

Luo Qiao smiled and stepped out of the kitchen, "Come, let mom see, what did my two treasures bring home?"

On seeing clearly what the kids were carrying in their baskets, "Wow, what a big fish, where did it come from?"

Yueyue quickly replied, "Mom, it’s a gift from Uncle, we just met him on our way back."

Yanyan then said loudly, "Uncle gave us the biggest fish, he said it’s to nourish his two beautiful nieces properly."

Stone teased Yanyan, "Oh listen to that, nourishing indeed, you’re going to end up over-nourished and turn into a little chubby girl."

Yanyan didn’t understand the term ’over-nourished,’ but the idea of becoming a little chubby girl upset her, "Uncle, you’re mean, I’m not playing with you anymore."

Gu Qianru, taking pleasure in their misfortune, said, "Told you not to tease our Yanyan, now if you don’t compensate, I consider myself the loser."

Stone quickly picked her up, consoling her for a long time and agreeing to many unfair terms; finally, Yanyan was happy again.

Everyone laughed.

Later, Kong Xiangrui and Lu Yiting came over, and the family learned that Lu Yiting was pregnant; she had just found out.

Gu Qianru quickly asked, "Are you feeling okay, any severe morning sickness?"

Lu Yiting blushingly replied, "I get nauseous in the mornings, but I’m fine at other times."

Luo Qiao looked at Lu Yiting with concern, "How about after Xiangrui returns to the county, you come stay at Grandpa’s place for a while? Auntie Tang can make various dishes for you, and after the first trimester when the pregnancy is more stable and the morning sickness subsides, you can go back."

Gu Qianru also nodded, "I think that’s a good idea, otherwise, you being alone there, we wouldn’t feel at ease."

Lu Yiting seemed hesitant, "Sister-in-law, let’s not worry about it. My morning sickness isn’t severe, and in this cold, I’d rather not run back and forth."

She knew they meant well, but living there would mean being just a wall away from her in-laws. If she moved back, the neighbors might start to gossip, and her mother-in-law might once again feel uncomfortable, causing more trouble for her grandfather.

Luo Qiao, seeing Lu Yiting’s dilemma, said, "How about this? After Xiangrui leaves, I’ll have Auntie Li, who looks after my small two-floor house, come cook for you. When it gets warmer and Xiangrui’s term is over, he can come back, and Auntie Li can leave then."

Lu Yiting felt a bit uneasy, "Is that okay, won’t she mind?"

Luo Qiao assured, "Don’t worry, I’ll talk to her. It’s just to help tidy up and cook for you, keep you company."

At that moment, Old Master Gu’s voice came from behind, "Let’s settle it that way, we can’t rest easy with you living there alone."

Hearing Grandpa’s voice, Lu Yiting quickly went to support him, "Grandpa, where have you been?"

Old Master Gu replied, "I went to see Grandpa Jing; he fell yesterday."

Luo Qiao heard this, "Is he okay?"

Old Master Gu sighed, "He’s getting old. He hasn’t been well these past few years, and now this fall has put him back in bed."

Luo Qiao frowned, planning to find time to visit. Jing’s son had just helped her a lot recently.

Old Master Gu patted Lu Yiting’s hand, "Listen to your sister-in-law, we’ll be at ease with someone to look after you."

The matter was settled, making Lu Yiting and Kong Xiangrui feel warmly reassured.

Lu Yiting’s eyes reddened. They had told the Kong family about it too, but the response there was totally different. Her father-in-law had only said, "Good, good, good, be very careful and don’t hesitate to eat whatever you crave."

Her mother-in-law, Fu Lanhua, had said, "Now you’re allowed only one child, but it definitely must be a boy."

No other words of concern, and even at this hour, they hadn’t asked if the couple wanted to stay for dinner. A lingering grudge from past issues still hadn’t been settled.

Luo Qiao walked over to her sister-in-law, whispering, "Don’t think about anything else, just focus on your pregnancy; you have us."
