Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1274: Chapter 1254: The Warmth of Home

A few days later, the initial novelty had worn off, and Luo Qianqian truly experienced the hardships of being fixed in her seat...

Not to mention the issues of eating and drinking, nor the problem of sleeping, just the aspect of going to the bathroom alone was unbearable.

She had to hold it in, not daring to eat or drink, only able to relieve herself happily when they descended each day...

Fortunately, this torment ended today, and their group appeared, all dressed up neatly, at the Forget Worries Tea House.

Because of the tea house’s prosperity, a small town gradually formed at the gate of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, selling all sorts of items. After all, the pavilion’s offerings were limited in quantity, and once sold out, there were no extras, regardless of money or status.

Of course, this rule definitely didn’t apply to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian waved her hand generously, ”Order whatever you want; it’s my treat. Let’s go upstairs to a private room.”

For Luo Qianqian’s generosity, the people lining up around were all sneering. Private room? Who doesn’t know that the private rooms at Forget Worries Tea House are reserved exclusively, and so far, no one has dared to say order anything you want.

”You’re back?” Luo Xiying looked at Luo Qianqian in surprise, but seeing her rubbing her belly with a grinning face, he felt helpless and waved at the attendant, ”Take them upstairs, and prepare all the specialties. Put it on my account.”

”Hehe, come on, let me introduce you.” Luo Qianqian giggled, pouncing directly into Luo Xiying’s arms, snuggling up, and then climbing onto his back, ”Carry me up.”

Luo Xiying was full of helplessness, but still, he doted on his little niece and carried her upstairs.

This left the young ladies downstairs heartbroken. The cold-faced owner of the Forget Worries Tea House was actually pampering a young girl like this?

Immediately, they arranged for people to investigate Luo Qianqian.

”This is my uncle,” Luo Qianqian sat down next to Luo Xiying, explaining to everyone.

Even if they didn’t know, they could tell it was a relative, given the trust and reliance evident on Luo Qianqian’s face.

”This is Yan, the master I found for Nuannuan—super awesome. This is Huangfu Yihui, the rest are people he brought—someone with significant status. This is Xiao Bai, whom I picked up on the road.” Luo Qianqian introduced them one by one, glossing over Huangfu Yihui’s people.

Luo Xiying understood immediately and asked someone to set up another table in the adjacent private room.

Luo Qianqian held Luo Xiying’s hand with a pitiful expression, ”I haven’t had a hot meal in so long. I want boiled sliced meat and rice.” Luo Qianqian wasn’t picky at all, just looking up with a small face.

Luo Xiying was speechless, wanted to reprimand her, but it wasn’t appropriate to do so in front of so many people, so he nodded and ordered more dishes.

After eating, Luo Xiying arranged for everyone to settle in, then took Luo Qianqian back.

Huangfu Yihui watched Luo Qianqian hopping along, then glanced at Yan sipping his wine, frowning slightly, ”Are you not worried that someone might mention that person?”

”That’s her family. What’s there to be afraid of? You look at her uncle and know how pampered she is at home,” Yan drank leisurely, finding the wine here much more genuine compared to where Luo Qianqian was; not watered down at all.

Huangfu Yihui nodded, seemingly they could also visit tomorrow, since it was getting late now, not wanting to trouble Luo Qianqian.

”Do you believe I’ll hit you?” Luo Qianqian, seeing the courtroom-like gathering of relatives, sheepishly rubbed her nose.

Luo Shufan directly pulled Luo Qianqian’s ear, dragging her aside angrily.

Before Luo Qianqian could speak, Yue Tingyu disagreed, ”Shufan, Qianqian just got back, don’t be so fierce.”

”Yeah, right, you don’t even have breasts, why be so fierce?” Luo Qianqian pouted, murmuring softly to Luo Shufan, then turned swiftly to dive into Yue Tingyu’s embrace, ”Grandma, I missed you so much!”

”Hmph, grandma, stand aside. We need to educate this bear child first.” Luo Yanran came over and pulled Luo Qianqian away.

They heard that through some Star Path, the Nine Heavens Pavilion exempts entrance to the Sect Conference in the Northern Region for the top-ranked person, and they immediately sensed something was off, worrying about this bear child.

Even though they didn’t know what the Star Path was, with the increasing visitors bringing congratulations, they eventually understood, wishing to chew out this bear child who didn’t discuss things with the family.

Luo Shiqi, who else would use such a name except this bear child?

And being red-named, they almost thought something happened, constantly anxious, turning anxiety into cultivation motivation, and what happened?

She waltzed back leisurely? Bringing many friends? Did she think it was a holiday outing?

”Where’s that Tang Tianyi kid? Why didn’t he stop you in such matters?” Luo Shufan was furious, not considering Tang Tianyi his friend at that moment, ready to vent. He couldn’t bear to scold Luo Qianqian, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t let others off!

”Yeah, yeah! Have him come out and calm me down!” Luo Yanran nodded repeatedly, eager for a confrontation.

The others reacted too, noticing someone seemed missing, but what really shocked them was Luo Qianqian’s response.

Luo Qianqian blinked, ”Such a familiar name, who is he?” Her face was full of confusion, but her expression was calm, not appearing fake.

For a moment, silence fell over the largest hall in the Nine Heavens Pavilion, with only the sound of breathing and heartbeat audible.

”He was Fourth Brother’s manager before,” Luo Yanran explained, finding the serious looks around a bit odd.

Luo Qianqian scoffed, ”Fourth Brother, is your brain broken? Brother Sun would be angry.” But she furrowed her brow tightly; Huangfu Yihui and his group also mentioned this name before but didn’t bring it up afterwards.

Now the family mentioned it too? Who exactly is this person who seems familiar to both her family and the companions she made on the road?

Hearing Luo Qianqian’s words, Luo Shufan pondered for a moment before changing the subject, ”You went to that Star Path event, right? Didn’t something almost happen? I heard from people congratulating you that it’s a life-and-death situation.”

Luo Qianqian paused for a moment, ”It was indeed a bit scary, but luckily, I made good friends and achieved my goal. Now the people from the Snow Palace are probably fuming, right?” She mischievously winked, ”I even brought you some unique specialties.”

Saying this, Luo Qianqian pulled out a pile of wild fruits from her ring, ”These are really tasty.” Even though they were picked randomly on the road, it was the thought that counts.

”This was bought in the Imperial City for grandma to make clothes,” she blinked and took out a pile of fabrics.

Looking at the sober, understated yet finely textured fabric, Yue Tingyu nodded in satisfaction, hugged Luo Qianqian, ”Qianqian just got back, we’ll discuss matters tomorrow. Don’t frighten my precious granddaughter.”

Old Master Luo was left ignored at the back, with a face full of grievance.

After all, she’s his precious granddaughter too, right? He glared fiercely at his children and grandchildren, signaling if they dared to trouble Luo Qianqian, he’d go all out.
