Su Chen frowned as he looked at Su Yanche, who was acting cautiously. "Dad, what are you doing? You're acting like a thief."
Upon hearing this, Su Yanche's face darkened, and veins bulged on his forehead. "Are you asking for a beating? What kind of son talks to his father like that?"
Su Chen asked in confusion, "Then what are you doing?"
"Snort!"
Su Yanche snorted coldly, but as if he had thought of something, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and then forced a smile onto his face.
Su Chen raised an eyebrow and took a step back. "Dad, something's wrong with you. What are you trying to do?"
Su Yanche's lips twitched, then he took a deep breath and transmitted his voice, "That's right, do you still have that?"
Su Chen asked, puzzled, "What is that? Tea?"
Su Yanche shook his head and said, "No, it's that one."
Su Chen pondered for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and a smile appeared on his lips. "You wouldn't be talking about that medicine, would you?"
Su Yanche blushed slightly, but surprisingly, he didn't deny it; instead, he nodded in agreement, "Yes."
Su Chen asked knowingly, "What do you need that for?"
Su Yanche grew anxious, "Why are you asking so many questions? Do you have it or not?"
Su Chen gave him a knowing look. "Yes! Of course! How much do you want?"
Su Yanche said, "I'll take as many as you have!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was utterly shocked. "Dad, you... you're awesome!"
"Snort!"
Su Yanche scoffed dismissively, "Of course."
Su Chen smiled, then opened his palm, revealing a bottle of pills. "There are a hundred of those pills in here. Is that enough?"
Su Yanche snatched the bottle and put it away, "Enough! Enough!"
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "I have to remind you, this pill is very potent; one is enough for you."
Su Yanche asked curiously, "How much medicine did you give me last time?"
Su Chen thought for a moment, then said, "I was worried that one pill wouldn't be effective for you, so I used fifty."
Upon hearing this, Su Yanche's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You really are a good son to your father."
Feeling the chill emanating from Su Yanche, Su Chen took another step back and said awkwardly, "Don't be angry, it definitely won't happen again next time."
"Snort!"
Su Yanche snorted coldly, "I'll let it slide this time because you gave me tea and this pill, but if you dare to do it again, I won't forgive you, even if it means risking a beating from your mother!"
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "Understood."
If Su Yanche wanted to beat him up, Su Chen really couldn't do anything about it. After all, he was his own father; he couldn't very well lay a hand on him, could he?
So if Su Yanche had really tried to make a move, he would have had no choice but to run away.
Outside the hall.
Ye Lingxi sized up Yan Qingwu.
Yan Qingwu looked at her, "What's wrong?"
Ye Lingxi blinked and asked directly, "Miss, do you like my brother?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwu's originally fair face instantly flushed red, as if dyed by the sunset, a shy Hong Yun spreading like ripples across her face. "No... I don't like it."
Ye Lingxi's lips curled up. "Do you look like you don't like it?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwu fell silent.
Ye Lingxi laughed and said, "If you like someone, you like them. There's no need to deny it."
Yan Qingwu remained silent for a long time before asking, "Aren't you... angry?"
Ye Lingxi asked, "Why should I be angry?"
Yan Qingwu looked at Ye Lingxi, "Because I like your brother."
Ye Lingxi shook her head and said, "I'm not angry."
Yan Qingwu asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Ye Lingxi looked up at the azure sky and said, "Because I know that my brother's life is destined not to belong to just me."
Yan Qingwu was silent for a moment, then said, "What you've thought of is thorough understanding."
Ye Lingxi shook her head and laughed, "There's nothing I can do about it. After all, my brother is handsome, powerful, has an invincible background, and is gentle. A man like that is destined to come into contact with many women, and these women will definitely fall in love with him. So, if I get angry every time my brother comes into contact with a woman, how can I possibly stay angry?"
After listening, Yan Qingwu looked surprised.
She hadn't expected Ye Lingxi, at such a young age, to be so insightful.
Ye Lingxi looked at Yan Qingwu, "Miss, if you like this brother, you'd better try harder!"
Yan Qingwu nodded and said, "I will."
Then, with some curiosity, she asked, "Do you like your brother?"
The "like" here does not refer to familial affection.
Ye Lingxi is so smart, of course she understands.
She remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I..."
Just then, the door opened, and Hu Xiaotian walked out of the hall.
Looking at the two women, Hu Xiaotian, "Master said you can come in and have a chat."
Yan Qingwu nodded, then looked at Ye Lingxi, "What?"
Ye Lingxi shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, let's go in."
Before Yan Qingwu could speak, Ye Lingxi had already entered the main hall.
Watching Ye Lingxi's retreating figure, Yan Qingwu remained silent for a moment before entering the main hall.
Hu Xiaotian asked curiously, "What were you guys talking about just now?"
Yan Qingwu glanced at Hu Xiaotian but remained silent.
"Snort!"
Hu Xiaotian snorted coldly, "Fine, I won't talk then."
With that, he kicked off with all four legs and jumped directly onto Ye Lingxi's shoulder.
Yan Qingwu smiled and shook her head.
Two hours later.
An incredibly enticing aroma filled the air, and the table was laden with a dazzling array of delicious food, each dish tantalizingly fragrant and mouthwatering.
Hu Xiaotian's mouth watered as he looked at the table full of delicious food, his eyes gleaming, but he still retained a sliver of reason and did not pounce on it.
Qin An smiled and said, "Eat."
After saying that, Hu Xiaotian could no longer hold back and started eating voraciously, as if he were a starving ghost reincarnated, without any regard for his image.
Ye Lingxi couldn't wait to try it. As soon as the food entered her mouth, her eyes lit up, and then she was completely hooked.
Su Chen picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and nodded, saying, "Mother's cooking is as delicious as ever."
Qin An smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it."
Su Yanche then took out a jar of wine.
But as soon as he took it out, Qin An cast an unfriendly glance at him. "You want to drink in front of so many children?"
His tone was a bit cold.
Su Yanche shuddered violently. "No... I won't drink anymore."
As he spoke, he quickly put the jar of wine away.
I've already begged for forgiveness!
Everyone who saw this couldn't help but laugh.
"Cough cough!"
Su Yanche blushed and coughed twice to ease the awkwardness.
The hall was filled with the aroma of food. Everyone sat together, laughing and chatting, with smiles on their faces, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
