Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1971: Chapter 1951:

Before marrying Lin Jiayou, Cong Ying always felt that marriage was a terrifying thing. Whether it was the Eldest Princess or her own mother, palace intrigue and family strife were unavoidable, and the loser always met a tragic end.

But she didn’t expect her marriage to be so different. Her mother-in-law filled an entire wardrobe with new clothes for her, and her father-in-law gave her a feather duster, intended for use on Lin Jiayou. Everyone was so kind to her, she was bewildered. Could marriage really be like this? Was there really a possibility of eternal companionship?

The best decision she ever made in this lifetime was following the Eldest Princess.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have met Lin Lang...

Lin Jiayou was the finest hope she encountered in her life.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Jiayou was still a bit surprised upon seeing the seven-tiered wedding cake, almost touching the ceiling.

”Fortunately, my Fourth Brother skillfully made a cake stand. Otherwise, if it had been stacked directly, it would’ve collapsed...” Luo Qianqian spared no praise for her own people: ”So Brother Jiayou, remember to give a big red envelope later.”

Lin Jiayou nodded and then looked at the cake knife with a big red bow on the side, took a deep breath, and asked, ”How do you think I should cut this cake?” The top layer was at a height where he couldn’t even reach normally, so how was he supposed to do this?

”Uh, a ladder, of course. It’s called the ’Stairway to Happiness.’ You wouldn’t think we want you to climb to the second floor and lean over the stairs to cut it, right?” He Wenyu pointed to the stainless steel ladder by the door, also adorned with a big red bow, ensuring stability.

After the two of them stood on the ladder and finished cutting the top layer of the cake, they came down. Cutting it with just two knives was inconvenient.

The rest was swiftly taken care of by He Wenyu, who skillfully sliced through the cake with the spare knife, expertly packed up some food and two pieces of cake: ”Shiqi, remember to fetch me a red envelope, I’m heading out for delivery.” With that, he ran off swiftly.

Luo Qianqian was dumbfounded at this person...

She thought and then realized, he probably went to find Zhang Sheng, right? That would make sense.

Still, she took on the responsibility of watching over the kids.

Except for An Hao, Tantan and Miao Yu couldn’t get enough of the cake, while An Hao ate his meal with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, without needing any concern from Luo Qianqian.

As her peer, can anyone be reassured? Di Jun overturned this idea...

Not only did he eat the cake, but he also snatched it, even before An Hao could finish, he grabbed it. Are there any adults like that?

An Hao said he had eaten enough, so he didn’t mind, but Luo Qianqian couldn’t just watch her little brother get bullied. She got up, single-handedly carried Di Jun out, and after a round of ’thought education,’ Di Jun returned, eating silently and not daring to grab food again.

”Don’t be so violent.” Qin Nuan giggled at Di Jun’s expression, then nudged Luo Qianqian’s arm: ”In future, your nephew is in your care. Don’t shirk; I see you can manage adults well, why worry about a couple of kids?”

Luo Yanran, nodding repeatedly from the side, the reason he wasn’t in a rush to return was that with the kids being looked after, his wife didn’t even have time to pay attention to him... He was jealous! If it were a daughter, maybe he could bear it, but two bratty boys? Why should they monopolize his wife?

”Why don’t you just let your son take my last name? What kind of mom are you?” Luo Qianqian poked fun, rolling her eyes. You’re a mom already and still not serious? Aren’t you afraid your child won’t listen to you in the future?

Qin Nuan feigned surprise: ”Don’t you know...”

”Know what?”

”Your nephew already shares your last name?” Qin Nuan seriously asked...

Luo Qianqian: ”... Luo Yanran, if you keep laughing, you and your wife can go back with my mom and the others.”

”Alright, alright, my mistake. Miss, please forgive me. It was my oversight for upsetting you. How about this, all the red envelopes I receive today will be yours?” Luo Yanran repeatedly bowed, not wanting to go back.

Luo Qianqian nudged Qin Nuan: ”Your son-in-law wants to give me his red envelopes, and you’re not going to intervene? You’re way too generous!”

”If it were someone else, I might intervene, but for you? The ones I receive can go to you too, they don’t really matter to us anyway.” She said, shrugging with a calm look.

”Oh right, later get the return gifts ready for people to take when they leave.” Luo Qianqian smacked her forehead, though it wasn’t their wedding, they solved almost everything, so compared to the clueless newlyweds, they had more knowledge of what was needed.

After the meal, as elders, An Zilan and Lin Xu headed upstairs. After all, at weddings, the elders stepping aside allows the younger ones to have fun.

So why make the kids feel constrained? Taking a slightly drowsy Lin Nianan upstairs with them.

Luo Qianqian watched the three leave, then grinned at Lin Jiayou, showing her baby teeth: ”Brother Jiayou, are you mentally prepared?”

Lin Jiayou already knew there’d be some prank, so he helplessly put down his chopsticks: ”Can’t you let me eat first? And make sure no food is wasted, no cake smearing please.”

”Nonsense, if I dare smear you with cake, those three kids would tackle you. Not including An Hao, but including Di Jun.” Luo Qianqian clarified, seeing An Hao’s puzzled look.

Qin Nuan giggled: ”Husband, go get the items Shiliu prepared.”

Being co-conspirators, Qin Nuan, who was already married, was fearless.

After all, Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu weren’t married yet, they might get reciprocated later, but she wasn’t afraid!

When Luo Yanran took out an array of dazzling fruits, everyone was amazed. What were these things? Why did they look so tempting?

To ensure they wouldn’t melt, they were placed over ice, emitting a slight chill when taken out.

”Don’t say your sister set you up. There are five kinds here: Rock Sugar Apple, Rock Sugar Melon, Rock Sugar Banana, Rock Sugar Strawberry, and Rock Sugar Blueberry. You have to choose any two for the challenge. As long as you both bite into and eat a third of the fruit’s volume, you pass. Passing earns a Mystery Gift Bag, failing means drinking.” Luo Qianqian wickedly laughed—the gift bag was indeed prepared, but whether they could earn it depended on their mutual understanding.

Seeing the fruit dangling from the Red String, Lin Jiayou was both amused and annoyed. It was already difficult as it was and now they were coated in rock sugar... it was practically inviting mockery. Today’s kids were absolutely devilish...
