Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1880: Chapter 1860:

”Brother, when it comes to guys chasing girls or vice versa, unless they’re both interested at the same time, who’s not got a bit of a strategy up their sleeve?” Qhianqhian said earnestly. ”Not to mention, Zhang Sheng captured our Shiliu’s heart, isn’t it because of...”

Before Qhianqhian could finish, He Wenyu covered her mouth, looking utterly innocent. She didn’t even say anything, so why react like this? How domineering...

He Wenyu’s face turned red, saying nothing, but the blush gave her away. Clearly, something had crossed her mind, hence she stopped Qhianqhian from speaking further.

Luo Yanhai was curious, but seeing Qhianqhian like this, he decided not to press the issue.

With a helpless shrug, he said, ”As long as it’s not too much, it’s fine. After all, Nianan is still young, and a stepmother is still a mother.”

Even if another couple emerged, he’d be the only single one left...

But that didn’t stop him from caring about everyone’s growth, especially Lin Jiayou. That previous despondent look of his, even Luo Yanhai couldn’t tolerate it!

Though things have improved now, he can’t let Cong Ying follow him without a proper title while caring for the child. Such a man is truly contemptible!

So, he agreed decisively.

”I don’t ask for much, just give me a roast piglet as a reward. I haven’t had one in ages.” Luo Yanhai smiled at He Wenyu, as Qhianqhian had her mouth covered, unable to speak.

He Wenyu nodded immediately, ”No problem.”

Qhianqhian struggled free from He Wenyu’s grasp and swiftly said, ”I want one too!”

”...You want to eat more and more.” He Wenyu sighed but nodded, not minding much, after all, whether one or two, they’re both roasted.

”Oh right, big bro, these days there might be a little dwarf with red hair, as short as those in Snow White. You should host him, don’t send him away just because he’s not queued up, you might even score a weapon or something.” Qhianqhian said seriously to Luo Yanhai. ”They’re from the dwarf tribe, temperamental, but with wine and food, they’re quite agreeable. Just talk about weapons, they’ll comply with any request.”

”...Do we have to prepare a banquet too?” Luo Yanhai suddenly felt a headache coming on.

”Not necessarily, just some casual cold dishes, slap some cucumber, give him some roast meat. As for the wine, just use that stuff in the clear plastic jug, not too good, if you don’t dilute it, that’s already nice.” He Wenyu added, ”But I have to admit, I’m really satisfied with that hammer.”

If it weren’t a bit unwieldy and too heavy for use, it could really sweep through his classmates. But it’s better to stay low-key; even with a handy weapon, hiding one’s strength is essential to avoid being targeted by others.

Qhianqhian could only helplessly look at Luo Yanhai, ”As soon as you see him, make arrangements, then let us know. Can’t have him freeloading food and drink all the time, what if he finds out we usually eat even better and refuses to leave? They eat a lot!”

Such a dissatisfied look...

He Wenyu shook her head helplessly, ”No one can eat more than you did back then.”

Qhianqhian was momentarily speechless.

After all, she was about to break through the Body Refining Realm back then, how could it be the same?

But... the dwarf tribe already has bark-like skin, do they even need body refinement?

”When you brought Tantan back, you mentioned it briefly, but now I understand. If there’s an issue, I’ll come find you guys.” Luo Yanhai said promptly.

Qhianqhian nodded, then looked at He Wenyu, gesturing with her mouth, ”Are you going to make roast piglet later?”

”Why?” He Wenyu suddenly sensed Qhianqhian had another agenda, asked warily, ”You haven’t even finished your little meat pies, check later.”

”If you do, roast some chicken wings as well. Tantan can’t eat greasy food, it’s bad for her stomach.” Qhianqhian said.

He Wenyu sighed in exasperation, as if chicken wings weren’t greasy?

However, after thinking about it, she calmly nodded, ”I won’t do it.”

If there’s already food, why expend double the effort?

Qhianqhian was at a loss for words, shrugged, ”Doesn’t matter, I’ll still eat the little meat pies if you make some porridge later, I’m not picky.”

”Make some meat porridge? Let it crook a bit, so Nianan can have some too.” Luo Yanhai suggested.

Qhianqhian nodded repeatedly, ”I’m fine with anything, anything goes.”

”Then let’s go find Fourth Brother.” He Wenyu said immediately.

And just like that, they went to find Luo Yanran, who readily agreed, as looking after the child felt like looking after his own, it was something he was happy to do.

Luo Yanhai sat back down, picked up his teacup, and drank tea.

He Wenyu rolled her eyes to one side, nudging Qhianqhian’s arm: Is big bro planning to drink tea all afternoon?

Qhianqhian felt a heaviness in her heart: Brother, don’t you think you’re being obvious? ℴ

”Brother, could you get...” He Wenyu began, then found herself at a loss for words, unsure what to say that would involve Cong Ying and be noticed by Lin Jiayou...

”Get the latest fabrics, we’re planning to make some clothes or something.” Qhianqhian suggested after looking around.

No sooner had she spoken that Qin Nuan appeared incredulous, which one of you two gentlemen is lacking clothes??? But she agreed, ”...Right, Cong Ying doesn’t have many clothes for changing, and Tantan and Nianan need some too.”

”Right right right, Tantan needs new clothes too.” Qhianqhian quickly added.

As for Nianan’s clothes... if she’s honest, there are plenty. And Cong Ying? Qin Nuan brought a lot of clothes for her, none lacking.

Although Luo Yanhai was puzzled, he still went to fetch the fabrics, choosing fresh and vibrant patterns and colors.

”Wow, brother’s taste has improved.” Qhianqhian laughed, ”No more neon colors this time, huh?”

He Wenyu chuckled, satisfied, and nodded.

”New and fresh looks nice on kids.” Luo Yanhai said naturally, not feeling anything odd in what he said.

He Wenyu rolled her eyes and sighed directly. It’s impossible for big brother to praise Cong Ying’s look, so calling children’s attire looking good is just as well.

”Tantan, come over to get clothes made.” Qhianqhian waved, successfully catching the attention of Tantan and Lin Jiayou.

”Brother Jiayou, make a couple of sets for Nianan too?” He Wenyu called over to Lin Jiayou, ”Kids’ clothes never seem too many, right?”

Lin Jiayou nodded without hesitation, standing up to wipe Nianan’s mouth, and brought him over.

Receiving He Wenyu’s look, Luo Yanhai, stumbled over his words. ”This... you look nice in this...” He said, tossing the fabric to Cong Ying’s arms as if it were a virus...
