Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 896: Chapter 876: Recruiting New Members (Part 2)

Looking at Qin Nuan, Luo Yanran also raised his eyebrows, turning to Luo Qianqian: ”Didn’t expect friendship to surpass sibling bonds, huh?”

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s full raised eyebrow, Qin Nuan took a deep breath: ”Stop it.” His voice returned to calm, with a bit of deepness.

Luo Qianqian sighed but said nothing else, just extended her palm, slightly raised it, and a small piece of Ice Edge appeared in her palm, floating with sharp edges.

”This is...” Subconsciously looking at that small piece of Ice Edge, he found that the Ice Edge was slightly melting, but not the one in Luo Qianqian’s palm.

With astonishment, Luo Yanran covered his increasingly large mouth, pointed single-handedly at the Ice Edge, and his voice trembled. It took a while before he could utter the two words through his seemingly wind-leaking teeth gaps: ”Fairy!”

Luo Qianqian looked playfully at Qin Nuan. These two words are a compliment for a girlfriend, but using them to describe a cousin in front of the girlfriend, isn’t that asking for trouble?

Sure enough, Qin Nuan slapped Luo Yanran’s back and spoke righteously: ”Can you speak? If not, shut up! This is godly!”

Unexpectedly, Qin Nuan said this, leaving Luo Qianqian somewhat amused yet helpless.

It took a while for Luo Yanran to regain his breath, panting heavily as if he had just exercised intensely - breathing rapid, pupils dilated, pulling Luo Qianqian: ”Qianqian, you won’t die, will you?”

”I...” Luo Qianqian, unable to understand Luo Yanran’s thought process, could only sigh irritably, suppressing her original expectations.

Her round little face full of helplessness, turned toward the window, with a bit more in her eyes than before.

She gently waved her hand, letting the Ice Edge stop in front of Luo Yanran’s neck, with a mischievous smile: ”I won’t, but you... might!” Her final tone rising slightly, full of playfulness.

Staring at Luo Qianqian, Luo Yanran was stunned. Although he never fully understood his sister, at this moment, Luo Qianqian seemed to have gained something more than the little girl under his protection a year ago.

But when their eyes met within the warm room temperature, Luo Yanran suddenly realized it was trust!

It was the trust he hadn’t seen in Luo Qianqian since Luo Shufan’s disappearance!

Looking with some fascination at the girl’s smile and the reliance in her eyes, though it was a chilly winter, he felt like basking in the spring breeze.

A handsome face showed a few moments of relief, revealing a joyful smile: ”Qianqian, you’ve grown up, able to stand on your own now.”

”What kind of talk is that; I’m still a child.” Luo Qianqian shrugged lightly: ”Actually, it’s quite simple. It’s just that I’ve awakened some abilities, so that’s it.”

”Not just you, right.” Seeing the expression on Luo Qianqian’s face, Luo Yanran unknowingly felt a little more relaxed.

Despite still fooling around like always this year, there was always a bit more caution with Luo Qianqian, afraid of accidentally touching the scar of her wound.

”Very perceptive.”

Luo Qianqian slightly curled her lips, raising her eyebrows at Luo Yanran: ”Tell me, who else?”

”Besides me, everyone who was present just now.” Luo Yanran smiled faintly, adjusted his collar, leaned against the table, and took a sip from the hot cocoa originally for Luo Qianqian.

Hearing this, Luo Qianqian was even more surprised. How did he know?

”How did you know?” Luo Qianqian hadn’t spoken yet, and Qin Nuan already asked in surprise, full of disbelief.

If she hadn’t known from the beginning, she really wouldn’t have noticed...

”Well, you all aren’t afraid of the cold.” Luo Yanran pointed at the hoodie on Luo Qianqian and laughed: ”Clearly you’re wearing less, but seem much better off than I am, doesn’t that prove it?” Keep in mind, Luo Qianqian used to be bundled up like a bear by Luo Shufan before going outside.

His eyes fixed on Luo Qianqian, sweeping the slightly childish smile. Luo Yanran’s heart felt fuzzy. Over the years, this little guy who used to beg for mercy with snot and tears has grown into an outstanding girl.

”So.” Luo Yanran smiled gently with a tender gaze: ”Was Jimo Cheng’s annulment of the engagement related to this? You’ve been helping the Jimo Family these days, but they’re ungrateful and think it’s deserved, leading to the departure of the two, right?”

Luo Qianqian was stunned for a while by Luo Yanran’s conclusions, her eyes filled with shock. After a moment’s silence, she said nothing, just nodded.

”Tell me, was it because of Nuannuan?” Luo Yanran pursed his lips, looking at his girlfriend pretending to be wooden behind him, his face showing a bit of helplessness.

How do you handle your girlfriend and sister being too close?

”Sort of...” Luo Qianqian hesitated for a moment before nodding.

”By the way, Tang Tianyi left just now too.” Qin Nuan paused for a moment, quickly changing the topic.

It always seems like these siblings wouldn’t care whether they discuss it in front of him.

”Yeah, probably to settle that guy.” Luo Yanran nodded calmly. From this standpoint, he was very satisfied.

However, this does not mean they’ll hand over the little sister they protect to this person!

”Bro, do you want to?” Luo Qianqian suddenly asked this seemingly aimless question.

Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran both remained silent.

In their eyes, there’s a mutual concern and care for Luo Qianqian.

”I want to, but that’s conditional.” Luo Yanran maintained a blank face for a long while, long enough that she thought he had fallen asleep, before he spoke.

”Huh?” Luo Qianqian was surprised.

”It won’t bring you any trouble or harm.” Luo Yanran turned to look at Qin Nuan behind him, gently smiling: ”I want to save the world, but if that ability requires exchanging with people around me, I’d rather live an ordinary life. Understand?”

”Ordinary, huh?” Blinking her sparkling eyes, Luo Qianqian’s face was full of mockery: ”But our Yhan Miyuan has never been an ordinary person, right?”

”Ahem... that’s work, work.” Luo Yanran’s complexion turned red instantly, somewhat embarrassed looking at Luo Qianqian.

Keep in mind, even during staged kiss scenes, he didn’t feel as embarrassed as Luo Qianqian’s deliberate banter, considering she’s the Luo Family’s little treasure.

”Hey? Uncle? And Aunt? Them too?” Thinking about the previously ignored issue, Luo Yanran felt a bit amazed.

Originally thought Uncle’s extraordinary strength was just due to extensive training, but unexpectedly, there was more to its meaning.

”I thought you’d address your girlfriend first.” Luo Qianqian shrugged, not finding anything odd about Luo Yanran’s delayed reaction to this matter.
