“Xiao Huang!”
As soon as Lin Xinyuan got home, little Qin Yiyi seemed to have heard the commotion right away and came bouncing over.
“Woof woof… whine whine…” The moment she saw the little one, Xiao Huang got just as excited, pouncing over to Qin Yiyi’s side, tongue lolling out as it began circling around her.
Lin Xinyuan was holding the groceries, and seeing her daughter playing with Xiao Huang, she couldn’t help but remind her, “Yiyi, be careful, don’t touch Xiao Huang’s wound. It’s not fully healed yet.”
“Got it, Mommy!” Qin Yiyi was already fooling around with Xiao Huang, her fair little face beaming with the joy of reuniting with a playmate after many days.
Seeing this, Lin Xinyuan felt a bit more at ease and initially thought about heading to the kitchen first to organize the ingredients.
But that was when she noticed that besides her own mother on the living room sofa, there was one more person—it was Qin Mother.
“Mom, you came too?”
Jiang Ningyue was in the middle of talking with Qin Mother and also looked over at this point, replying with a smile, “Yeah, I was bored at home, so I came to see Yiyi!”
As she said this, she and Mother Lin exchanged a knowing smile, and both turned to look at Qin Yiyi, who was horsing around with Xiao Huang, their faces full of affection for the little one.
“Then I’ll head to the kitchen first and prepare lunch.” Lin Xinyuan nodded, then glanced at the clock in the living room. Seeing it was almost noon, she got ready to go cook.
Seeing this, Qin Mother and the others wanted to go help, but she immediately stopped them: “Mom, you two should keep Xiao Yiyi company. I can handle it myself…”
Hearing this, the two didn’t insist further.
But watching Lin Xinyuan’s retreating figure into the kitchen, Qin Mother still harbored some hope deep down that her daughter-in-law would have another child.
That way the little one would have a companion and wouldn’t be bullied in the future.
Besides, the family had such a huge group, and Qin Nanfeng’s new company now also needed an heir.
But thinking about what her son had said, she felt it made sense, so she sighed inwardly and didn’t try to persuade again.
Forget it… children have their own blessings…
Why worry about so much…
With that thought, Jiang Ningyue continued chatting with Mother Lin about the topic they hadn’t finished yet…
After cooking, Lin Xinyuan first packed a portion, then had a meal with Xiao Yiyi and the mothers, before heading out to deliver it to a certain someone.
In four years, Fengxing Company had grown bigger and bigger.
Not only had it broken into the single-player game market, but it had also made significant strides in the online game and music markets, and had even begun planning its own gaming platform.
With more employees, the original building was certainly no longer enough, so over the past few years, branch offices had been opened in first-tier cities like Yangcheng, and even in Europe…
“Sister Yuan, you’re here!”
The front desk was still Song Ziwei. Now a married woman, she had shed her former shyness.
The moment she saw Lin Xinyuan, she immediately smiled and greeted her.
The company was developing better and better now, and salaries were rising.
The vast majority of employees were working hard just to keep their jobs, and Song Ziwei was no exception.
She knew that in the current environment, jobs outside were getting harder and harder to find.
Being able to keep working at Fengxing, a company outsiders would kill to get into, was something she had always been proud of…
Seeing Lin Xinyuan now, she didn’t need to think twice to know that she was definitely here to bring Qin Boss his meal.
It had been like that every day for the past few years.
“Mm.” Lin Xinyuan smiled lightly and nodded, greeting her casually as usual before heading upstairs.
It was just around noon, shortly after work had ended, so there were still quite a few employees moving about in the company.
Due to the reassignments, many veteran employees had been dispatched to other cities, or even abroad.
Many new faces had come and gone over time, but she could still occasionally spot a few relatively familiar ones.
“Lady Qin.”
“Hello, Lady Qin…”
Walking along, Lin Xinyuan felt a bit awkward hearing these greetings—the title sounded strange to her—but she still smiled and responded to each one.
After all, she was Qin Nanfeng’s wife, and outside, she naturally had to help her husband maintain a good image.
At first, she might have been at a loss, but after all these years—her daughter was already in kindergarten—she handled it with relative ease…
But just as she was about to get on the elevator, Lin Xinyuan ran into two familiar people again—Yu Lengxin and Gu Lin.
“Lady Qin!” The two greeted her in unison.
“Hello, you two! Have you eaten yet?” Lin Xinyuan showed a sweet, clear smile and asked them.
As she spoke, she inadvertently caught sight of the wedding rings on their hands but wasn’t particularly surprised.
They had gotten married the year before, and they had even invited her to the wedding banquet.
They said the reason they were able to get married so quickly was because of her…
“We’re about to go out and eat. Are you heading up to bring Qin Boss his meal?” Since getting married, Yu Lengxin’s usually indifferent expression had clearly softened a lot.
“Mm…”
They didn’t chat for long. After all, although Lin Xinyuan was fairly familiar with the two, at best they were only casual friends.
Besides, the two still needed to go out and eat, while Lin Xinyuan had to go upstairs to deliver some “dog food” to a certain someone.
Riding the elevator up, she went straight to that familiar office door. Without hesitation, she knocked directly.
“Come in.”
Hearing the familiar, steady male voice from inside, Lin Xinyuan pushed the door open and walked in carrying the insulated food container.
She spotted the man at once. As if he had already anticipated that it was her outside the door, he was already walking toward her with his hands in his pockets, a smile he couldn’t hide on his face.
“Hmph… what are you showing off for…”
Lin Xinyuan gave a very tsundere cold snort, her expression icy, but her legs were involuntarily trembling slightly, and her heart was quaking.
It was because last night’s events were still fresh in her memory.
She was genuinely a little scared of that yellow-haired brat now, and could only run her mouth to vent her shame and unease.
After all, her whole body was still weak, and somewhere was even harder to describe.
Just from walking this short distance, she already wanted to sit down quickly.
After giving Qin Nanfeng a cold look, Lin Xinyuan huffed and quickly walked over to the coffee table, set down the insulated container, and sat down to rest, her breathing slightly ragged.
Seeing this, Qin Nanfeng merely raised an eyebrow lightly, not at all surprised by his young wife’s attitude.
After all… although he had shown mercy last night, he had still tormented the girl quite a bit…
Sigh… this really wasn’t his fault. It was all Xiao Yuan’s fault… she always liked to tempt him…
Tsk…
Thinking such shameless thoughts, Qin Nanfeng walked straight over and sat down beside Lin Xinyuan.
“Do it yourself…” Lin Xinyuan turned her face away, seemingly with no intention of laying things out neatly for him as she usually did.
With her delicate, pretty face cold, her peripheral vision still kept stealing glances at him from time to time.
Qin Nanfeng didn’t say much about it. He rolled up his shirt sleeves and got to work, taking out the dishes and rice one by one, then began eating on his own.
Only when she saw that the guy had finally started eating did Lin Xinyuan feel relieved enough to retract her gaze.
She looked down and began gently massaging her waist.
But soon enough, she noticed a certain someone looking over at her.
Her heart instantly flooded with embarrassment, yet she still forced an angry glare: “What the hell are you looking at! Just eat your food!”
Qin Nanfeng paused his chopsticks and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
The clear, bright sound of his laughter made Lin Xinyuan’s face flush even redder.
“You… are you going to eat or not! If not… I’ll… I’ll take it away right now!”
The heat on Lin Xinyuan’s face was impossible to suppress.
Her fierce expression, combined with her face that was still exquisitely pretty even without any makeup, made her look utterly adorable and radiant.
At last, the man who had been silent spoke up, his smile impossible to hide: “I definitely need to eat…”
He paused briefly at that point, his gaze wandering over his young wife’s body with a suggestive look: “But looking at Xiao Yuan, you look absolutely delicious… I could go for five bowls…”
“Tsk… such an appetite…”
“You… you pervert!” Lin Xinyuan heard this and initially didn’t understand what he meant, thinking he was just teasing her.
But then she slowly caught on.
Go for five bowls…
Ugh… what exactly was this guy talking about?
In an instant, the expression on her delicate face completely crumbled.
She was humiliated to the extreme.
The lingering sensations from last night seemed to still be faintly stirring within her, making her voice tremble at the edges.
“Mm, thanks for the compliment. Glad Xiao Yuan likes it…”
Qin Nanfeng’s lips curled upward. He set down his bowl and chopsticks and reached out to touch his wife, but Lin Xinyuan quickly blocked his hand away.
“Wahh… just eat… don’t talk anymore…”
Lin Xinyuan was on the verge of tears. She realized she simply couldn’t outmatch this man.
Was she doomed to be bullied by him forever?
And yet, she was willing…
Seeing that his wife had dropped her usual coldness toward him and her cheeks were gradually turning a normal, shy red, with no sign of pain or distress on her face, Qin Nanfeng’s gaze shifted. Inwardly, he felt secretly relieved.
He knew that over these years… the influence of “her” on Lin Xinyuan had weakened considerably…
Compared to four years ago, the episodes were triggered less and less frequently…
Mm… his Xiao Yuan was gradually getting better…
Thinking of this, he gently stroked his young wife’s head.
“Mm, I won’t talk anymore… good girl…”
