What is Guoguo doing?

Seeing that he didn't understand her meaning, Tang Guo continued to wink and make faces, looking somewhat anxious.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but ask, completely baffled as to what the little guy was trying to say.

" Guoguo, what's wrong?"

"Oh dear!" Tang Guo was extremely worried, but it was inconvenient for her to say anything.

"Alright, alright, what's the point of standing around at the door like this? We have guests too. Come on, let's go inside."

Jiang Fan patted the little guy's head again, then turned to look at Lan Shengxue, "We'll have dinner here tonight."

He was just being polite and didn't really intend for Lan Shengxue to stay for dinner.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with a pair of chopsticks, but rather that, considering both Lan Shengxue's personality and the Lan family patriarch's perspective, it was impossible for Lan Shengxue to stay at his house for dinner that evening.

"Okay." Lan Shengxue nodded.

Um???

Jiang Fan's eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief.

If he weren't afraid of losing face, he would have cleaned his ears to see if they were blocked by earwax and he was mishearing.

Lan Shengxue Jiang Fan staring at her and asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my appearance today?"

"No, no, cough cough, let's go."

Jiang Fan awkwardly turned his head away, walked forward, and pushed open the door after reaching his front door.

As soon as I entered, I saw a voluptuous woman standing next to my mother in the open kitchen.

The woman was wearing an apron, a style favored by middle-aged women—well, it looked rather old-fashioned, or rather, retro.

However, when this floral apron was worn by the woman, it somehow gave her a seductive and alluring look.

It also reminded him of a word: taboo words.

Cao Cao's favorite!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Jiang Fan emerged from the bizarre and unbelievable feeling.

At the same time, he belatedly realized why Tang Guo had been winking at him earlier.

" Xiao Fan, you're back!" Wang Shuqin put down her spoon and walked excitedly towards him.

Just then, a gust of wind suddenly swept around her.

Before Wang Shuqin could react, she saw Wang Yao had already rushed into Jiang Fan's arms.

"You're so mean! Why did it take you so long to come back? Do you know how much I missed you after all this time?"

As Wang Yao spoke, she punched Jiang Fan's chest with her small fists.

Jiang Fan suddenly took several steps back, retreating to Lan Shengxue's side, his face showing a look of shock and relief.

Turning his head, he met Lan Shengxue's cold, clear eyes that were staring at him.

hiss--

A chill, seemingly from nowhere, made him shiver involuntarily.

"She--"

"Since it's inconvenient, then we won't keep it."

After Lan Shengxue finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Lan Xinyu stopped her.

"Elder sister."

Lan Xinyu whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Are you jealous of Jiang Brother Fan?"

"No." The answer was quite firm.

hehe.

Lan Xinyu pouted, her eyes darting around before brightening considerably.

"If you leave, wouldn't that be letting them get together?"

"Their business is none of my concern." The voice remained cold and indifferent.

hehe.

Lan Xinyu didn't believe a single word her older sister said.

"So, my sister is planning to admit defeat."

Lan Shengxue frowned slightly. "I already said, it has nothing to do with me."

Lan Xinyu nodded to herself, "It seems you really are planning to admit defeat."

It has to be said, the younger sister understands her older sister best.

Lan Shengxue couldn't stand the word "admit defeat" more than anything in her life. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to the dangerous cultivation secret realm at home to train because of Jiang Fan's leap in strength.

"Why have you stopped? Don't you know the way out? I'm a nice guy, I'll walk you out."

As Wang Yao spoke, she took off her apron.

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengxue completely abandoned her plan to leave and instead walked straight towards Wang Shuqin.

"Auntie, it's been a long time."

"Oh, it's Xiao Fan's high school classmate! It's been a long time! Please sit down. There's fruit on the table. Please have some with your sister. The dishes will be ready soon," Wang Shuqin greeted them warmly.

"Let me help you," Lan Shengxue said.

"No, no, how could I let a guest help me?"

Lan Shengxue glanced at Wang Yao beside her, "Isn't she a guest?"

"Uh--" Wang Shuqin opened her mouth, but then she remembered Wang Yao's enthusiasm when she first arrived, an enthusiasm that was impossible to refuse, and for a moment she didn't know how to start.

Wang Yao smiled radiantly and walked over, quite naturally wrapping her arm around Wang Shuqin's.

"I'm not a guest, right, Mom?"

mom??!

Upon hearing this address, Jiang Fan nearly choked on his own saliva, his head buzzing.

Lan Shengxue's pupils contracted slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

"Hehe... hehehe..." Wang Shuqin laughed awkwardly. Although she also hoped that Jiang Fan would find a girlfriend and that she would have a grandson soon, she didn't know how to react to such a free-spirited and fiery girl, given her traditional mindset.

And most importantly...

Wang Shuqin glanced furtively at Lan Shengxue on the other side, and as she looked, her gaze shifted to Jiang Fan.

His eyes held a clear question: Which one is it?

Jiang Fan: "..."

Neither of them!

Just as he was speechless and having a headache, the bathroom door was pushed open from the inside, revealing the fat man's body, which was wider than the door itself.

" Brother Fan? You--"

The excited voices abruptly stopped.

The fat man glanced at Lan Shengxue, then at Wang Yao.

I thought to myself, "What kind of hellish scene is this?!"

"You come here right now!"

Jiang Fan swiftly moved to the fat man's side, grabbed him by the neck, and dragged him aside.

"My neck! My neck! I'm going to suffocate!" The fat man's face was red and his neck was swollen from being strangled.

Jiang Fan didn't have time to pay attention to him. "What's going on? What's wrong with your cousin—oops, what's wrong with your ancestor? How—how did she become so young again?"

"Shh--" The fat man quickly covered Jiang Fan's mouth and looked warily in the direction of Wang Yao. Fortunately, Wang Yao was currently exchanging sharp glances with Lan Shengxue and did not notice them.

"Phew—" she exhaled deeply before saying, "You can't mention the word 'young' in front of our ancestors. You need to know that age is the topic women care about most."

Jiang Fan yanked the fat man's hand away and wiped his mouth.

Suddenly he thought of something quite, no! It was extremely important.

Did you wash your hands after using the toilet?

His gaze was disdainful, and there was even a hint of dangerous murderous intent in his disdain.

The fat man gasped and nodded frantically.

"I washed my hands and used hand sanitizer."

He was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Jiang Fan would stomp his hand.

After saying that, she didn't give Jiang Fan a chance to confirm and immediately answered the question.
