Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 705: Chapter 685: Dog Food Scandal?

When the last piece was solved, no one was surprised anymore; it felt like it was to be expected. It was Ice-type, balanced just right.

Finally, when the work was done, Baozi cautiously trotted out from the corner, circling around Luo Qianqian, who quickly squatted down and hugged Baozi, ”Our family’s Baozi has grown up again, have you missed me?” She rubbed its fluffy head with her palm.

The Samoyed, true to its reputation as a smiling angel, always looked happy.

Luo Qianqian giggled as she pulled out something magical from her suitcase—dog food, ”Look how good I am to you, you foreign mutt. You haven’t eaten this before, have you?”

...Everyone collectively fell silent. So, foreign dogs have different food from domestic ones? What, is the stuff abroad spicy? Isn’t dog food just the same old flavor?

Baozi had been excited when Luo Qianqian took out the dog food, but after she poured some out, it sniffed and then ran away.

Yue Tingyu had intended to say that Baozi had just eaten, but then she was left staring in disbelief as Luo Qianqian dumped a piece of dog food into her mouth, ”Why won’t you eat it? Is there a weird taste or something?” She chewed a couple of times, ”It’s not a strange flavor or anything...”

Baozi, who had come back after taking a drink, saw what Luo Qianqian was doing and lay down in front of the food bowl, making room and nudging the bowl towards her.

”???” Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened in disbelief. Was Baozi making room for her???

”Baozi has already eaten,” Yue Tingyu quickly said, for fear that if she was any slower, Luo Qianqian might actually lie down and compete with Baozi for the food.

”Baozi is really good to you,” Qin Nuan couldn’t help but remark, having never competed with Baozi for food herself and not knowing if it would yield a spot for her.

”...Qianqian, are you hungry?” Old Master Luo looked troubled, ”Hurry up and make something to eat; don’t let her share with Baozi...”

”???” Luo Qianqian’s eyes grew even rounder at her grandfather’s words. When had she, ever, eaten with Baozi?

Yue Tingyu quickly went into the kitchen, while Jia Ning doubled over laughing, ”Qianqian, if you’re hungry just tell the family. There are apples on the table, how could you eat dog food?”

Luo Qianqian maintained her innocence; she was just curious about why Baozi wouldn’t eat, nothing more, thinking the foreign kind might taste different from the domestic.

Come to think of it, she had never tried the domestic ones either, had she?

Secretly chiding herself for her foolishness, her phone beeped the next second with a message.

”What flavor of dog food would you like? I’ll bring some back for you.”

The sender, Luo Yanran.

Luo Qianqian immediately looked back at Qin Nuan, who had been quiet for a while, ”What good deed are you up to now?”

”Nothing...” Qin Nuan quickly put away her phone, feigning innocence.

Luo Qianqian walked up to her, holding the phone up to her face, ”Your dear boyfriend has already sent his regards with quick fingers.”

Watching Qin Nuan awkwardly stare at the floor, Luo Qianqian turned to seek solace in Jia Ning’s embrace, ”Second Aunt, Fourth Brother is picking on me...”

”What happened? How did he pick on you? When he comes back, I’ll help you beat him up.” Jia Ning wore a face of righteous indignation. But when Luo Qianqian raised her phone to her, she bent over laughing again, ”This kid... haha... no, I mean Qianqian, that... haha... I’ll take care of him...” She covered her mouth and went to the side, trying not to make a sound, in case she laughed out loud.

It wasn’t long before Luo Qianqian received a call. As soon as she saw the screen, she wanted to smash her phone, ”Hello? Third Brother...?”

Upon hearing her son’s phone call, Ye Qianying also quickly glanced over.

Then, she heard a clear voice coming from Luo Qianqian’s phone, ”I heard from Second Uncle that Luo Yanran said you’re so hungry at home that you’re eating dog food? Fighting with Baozi for food? Are you out of money? I’ll come over and give you some tonight.”

”No, there’s no need, Fourth Brother,” Luo Qianqian said, clenching her fists tightly. ”How can Second Brother be so idle?”

”Ah? Qianqian, you’re looking for me?” Luo Yanhao’s voice came through the phone.

”Hehe, yes, I’m just concerned whether Second Brother is so idle that it’s causing him pain. If I could see you right now, do you believe I could make you commit hara-kiri within minutes? Wasn’t it just ten-something minutes ago that the news got to the military through Luo Yanran? Are you all that bored? Not caring about national issues, but worrying about whether your sister is eating dog food???”

However, the real culprit was still...

Luo Qianqian’s eyes were fixed on Qin Nuan.

Qin Nuan shrank back, she really had just wanted to share her joy... She never expected Luo Yanran to tell Luo Yanhao...

Actually, it was also a coincidence. At that time, Luo Yanran was on the phone with Luo Yanhao, and then her message came through. He just happened to mention it.

Then, coincidentally, Luo Yanhao was with Luo Yanwu, and he mentioned it offhand. After hanging up the phone, Luo Yanwu hurriedly called Luo Qianqian out of concern, fearing that she was out of money but still putting on a brave face.

”Let Second Brother pay more attention to important things like territorial integrity. It’s just me eating some dog food, if I even ate cat food, it would still be a trivial matter, no need for him to worry.” But suddenly, her tone softened a bit, ”Fourth Brother, don’t worry either. If I run out of money, I’ll tell you. I’m not the type to suffer in silence. Just now, I was just tasting it...”

Before she could finish, she heard Luo Yanhao on the other end exclaim, ”Oh Lord, dear ancestors, are you there? Hurry and take Qianqian to see a psychiatrist!!! She’s even tasting dog food now, has she lost her mind?”

Then, Luo Qianqian heard Luo Yanhao explain to himself, ”Could this be the legendary ’three years of sillyness per pregnancy’? Seeing a pregnant woman makes one act foolish for three years?”

They had known for a while about Luo Qianqian going home during the Golden Week to see her mother give birth, and even about Luo Qianqian getting hurt, Luo Yanhao was aware, but he didn’t tell his two brothers, just silently exchanged messages with Luo Yanran.

The source of Luo Yanran’s information had shifted from their father to Qin Nuan, and knowing that there were no problems, he had also breathed a sigh of relief.

Back then, when he heard the news, he was so scared he wished he could fly right over. After informing Luo Yanhao, Luo Yanhao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, a sister should be pampered, but she still needs to experience challenges. Her brothers won’t be by her side forever.

Luo Yanran also went through his own ordeal after failing to protect his sister, and even though it was a ’small’ ordeal, he nearly lost two layers of skin.

”...Fourth Brother, good luck. I have gifts prepared for both you and sister-in-law too, bye-bye.” Then she unceremoniously hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone call,

Luo Yanwu relaxed, putting away his phone with a look of relief on his face, while Luo Yanhao wore an expression of being out of favor, ”So, there’s no gift for me or a girlfriend?? Fourth Bro, I’ve fallen out of favor...” he said, embracing Luo Yanwu, ”Why doesn’t Qianqian care about me at all?”

Luo Yanwu, with an impassive face, was held in Luo Yanhao’s arms, showing no reaction, calmly playing with his phone.

”Hey, hey, hey, can you show some reaction, please??” Luo Yanhao performed for a while, but seeing that Luo Yanwu wasn’t cooperating at all, even sending messages, he peeked over and lost interest upon seeing the recipient.
