Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 544: Chapter 524: Intricate and Confusing (Part 6)

Qin Wen drove Luo Yanran and the two siblings, Qin Nuan and Luo Qianqian, back to school. After getting out of the car, Qin Nuan lingered in a long farewell with Luo Yanran, leaving Luo Qianqian to chat aimlessly with Qin Wen, helplessly glancing at the pair with amusement, ”You’ll see each other again soon, right? Why act as if you won’t see each other for months?”

”This is what you call a reluctant goodbye.” Qin Wen was also helpless, but since it was his own sister, he couldn’t say much. She was already an adult and had her own judgments on all matters. There was no need to be so strict, and besides, although Luo Yanran, this young man, came into contact with many women due to his job, at least he was quite decent and had no messy scandals.

”What birthday gift are you planning to give Nuan Nuan, Second Brother Qin?” Luo Qianqian glanced a few times at the two in the car, then shifted her gaze away, simply too lazy to bother with them.

”Birthday?” Qin Wen was startled, pulled out his phone, looked at it, and then cursed softly, ”I forgot... But with your brother around, does she still care about what her own brother gives her?”

Luo Qianqian was speechless, ”Are you being jealous? You should know you’ve been with her since she was little and will continue for the distant future, while Luo Yanran will be with her from now into the future. He can’t intervene in those past times, and after all, a lover can’t accompany her as long as a brother does.” She smirked, ”My brother, he surely won’t forget my birthday, and even if he can’t see me, he won’t forget. If he does, I’ll call him and cry. There are some things you can’t tell a lover, but you can tell a brother, because a brother won’t hurt his own kin. Lovers might just stop loving you.”

Qin Wen’s expression was a bit odd, ”One would think you have a lover too. Let me tell you that’s not okay. Even if your own brother is not around, you still have us brothers to watch over you. Don’t go causing trouble for no reason; at your age, you should be studying hard...” He paused, suddenly realizing he didn’t know what else to say.

Other people at her age should indeed be focusing on their studies, but Luo Qianqian was different; she was already a university student.

Who knew Luo Qianqian would nod earnestly, ”Don’t worry, I understand. I’ll spend the time I could use for raising horses to grow grass instead, and when the grasslands are ready to harvest, there will naturally be herds of wild horses waiting for me to reap.” Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue; she knew that by making herself better, she would be worthy of a better person and have a more wonderful love.

”Well said,” Qin Wen raised his eyebrows in surprise, smiling, ”Nuan Nuan only became sensible after she grew up, otherwise she would have been... sigh.”

Luo Qianqian was stunned, then quickly understood that the ”sensible” Qin Wen mentioned and the ”that person” he referred to were the same.

The man who had made Qin Nuan regret and sorrowful in her past life, and who nearly caused her to repeat her mistakes in this one.

”My brother is a good person, and if he doesn’t treat Nuan Nuan right, I’ll beat him up. But I believe that Nuan Nuan will be happy with him,” Luo Qianqian raised her little fist, just as Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran, who had gotten out of the car, heard her.

Qin Nuan immediately hugged Luo Qianqian, moved, ”If I were a guy, I’d definitely marry you.”

Luo Qianqian was nearly choked by these words, ”Are you serious? Take a look at Luo Yanran, whose eyes, originally smiling, turned downright eerie. Luo Qianqian shuddered, ”Well, you could try your luck in Thailand, but then, I’m afraid my Fourth Brother might kill me, and you’d have to choose between a love tragedy or, ahem, a different kind of love.”

Luo Yanran was also caught off guard by his sister’s comment, finding it hard to suppress his laughter. How could he get angry at his sister? He was just joking around with the two of them, knowing full well the close relationship between Qin Nuan and Luo Qianqian. Now, with this new layer in their relationship, he couldn’t be happier. But his girlfriend having thoughts about his sister? That was absolutely not okay.

However, Thailand? Isn’t that the country known for its ladyboys?

It seems he needs to make sure Qin Nuan doesn’t let her sister read too many of those chaotic novels and comics. Always coming up with so many wild ideas?

”Calm down, calm down, I like you more than I like your brother,” Qin Nuan said with a cheerful smile.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yanran immediately glared, ”In that case, I like my sister more than you do!”

Luo Qianqian, hearing the two squabble, immediately jumped up and hugged Qin Wen tight, ”Second Brother Qin, run! The Third World War is about to erupt!!!”

Qin Wen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but both Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran laughed when they heard Luo Qianqian’s reaction. Why would they fight over Luo Qianqian? Only they knew: their relationship was clear. If they could come together, it was all thanks to Luo Qianqian’s enlightenment.

”Run,” Qin Wen grabbed Luo Qianqian from his arm and put her into Qin Nuan’s arms, ”Hurry back to the dormitory, and tell me when you get there.”

Qin Nuan nodded, then with a look of disgust, put Luo Qianqian down on the ground, ”Why are you heavier again? Did you gain weight?”

”Why don’t you say I got taller?” Luo Qianqian said, dissatisfied; but upon seeing other classmates at the door, she quickly waved her hand and said, ”Fourth Brother, Second Brother Qin, goodbye.”

Qin Nuan also waved at the two men, ”Second Brother, Ah Ran, goodbye.”

”Nuannuan, Qianqian, goodbye.” Luo Yanran waved with a smile, then got into the car.

Watching the two of them walk into the school until their figures were no longer clear, Qin Wen finally started the car, his voice rising, ”Ah Ran?”

Luo Yanran’s expression froze for a moment, then he nodded, ”Second Brother Qin won’t beat me up just because of a nickname, right? I am her legitimate boyfriend, after all.”

Qin Wen was speechless. What had he even said? He just stood with his arms crossed, defensive.

But still, he said with amusement, ”I’m still her brother. You’re stealing my sister away, and I can’t give you a beating for that?”

”That’s no problem, but haven’t I given you a sister in return? Isn’t Qianqian my sister as well as yours?” Luo Yanran said with a grin, trying to please.

Qin Wen’s mouth twitched. Could someone who could so casually ’trade’ their sister be reliable?

But indeed, they all truly regarded Luo Qianqian as their own sister already. She was younger, sensible, and, importantly, she had a good relationship with Nuannuan. Nuannuan usually took care of her like an older sister would.

But why did it always seem like Nuannuan viewed Qianqian with the indulgent tenderness of an old mother?

Qin Wen quickly banished the thought from his mind. What indulgent tenderness of an old mother? He was probably just seeing things from all the stress lately. His sister was still an unmarried young girl.

”However,” Luo Yanran said, his voice turning serious in an instant, ”Qianqian and Nuannuan must be hiding something.”

Qin Wen was startled and nodded, ”It’s normal for girls to have secrets among themselves, like talking about handsome guys and such; they wouldn’t tell their brothers about it.”

”Handsome guys?” Luo Yanran’s face darkened. Neither person would make him happy mentioning this topic, okay? With a brother (boyfriend) like him, could there still be room in their eyes to call someone else handsome?

”But what they’re hiding is probably not so trivial. What kind of people they like, neither of them would keep that secret,” Qin Wen shook his head, but the next second he looked seriously at Luo Yanran, ”I have a request, I hope you can agree to it.”

Luo Yanran was taken aback and nodded.

”I hope that if you no longer like Nuannuan you can tell her directly, don’t drag it out, wasting the affection that has been between you.”
