Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 550: Chapter 530: Intricate and Confusing (12)

”Why can’t you ever pop out a pearl? You could even check out what that thing is.” Qin Nuan looked at Luo Qianqian with a face full of frustration, ”But thankfully, we saw it yesterday and were on guard.”

Luo Qianqian nodded repeatedly, right? If she hadn’t been hit normally, would she have noticed?

Not exactly, she couldn’t say she wasn’t cautious. It seemed that wherever Wang Zi, Sun Bin, and Xi Meng appeared in the class, she was always alert, including an Elvis who inexplicably cared for her.

”This shows the necessity of walking around usually,” Luo Qianqian immediately replied. It really was thanks to Qin Wen who sent them back at just the right time yesterday.

”The necessity of overeating?” Qin Nuan smirked, but didn’t dwell too much on that topic.

”Tell me, whose path can you block?” Qin Nuan asked at once.

Luo Qianqian pondered for a moment, ”Xu Xiaoxiao? They must think that introducing me is a sign a marital alliance with the Luo Family? So it seems only the people who can attend the banquet are the ones I can block.”

”Marital alliances again and again, is it that feudal? Or did you betroth yourself to someone when you were still in elementary school?” Qin Nuan smirked, her mind racing quickly. If the Luo Family and someone outside were to enter into a marriage alliance, who might it block? On thinking it over from all angles, Xu Xiaoxiao seemed most likely.

”What elementary student? What did I know back then? At least, it was... maybe middle school?” Luo Qianqian recalled carefully and felt that the special time of Xu Tianyi’s might still be when she brought him home during middle school? Or when she took care of him while he was hospitalized?

She couldn’t quite remember anymore, only that by the time she realized this person was in her heart, there was already a place for him there.

”Let’s go have some porridge for lunch?” Qin Nuan suddenly suggested.

”What happened? A bad stomach? Or are you feeling unwell? I told you not to eat so much this morning... See, it must be because you ate too much that you’re uncomfortable, drink more hot water.” Before Qin Nuan could reply, Luo Qianqian had already started talking to herself.

”What are you talking about?” Qin Nuan said helplessly, extending her arm that was holding Yue Xiluo’s clothes and measuring around her waist: ”I need to watch my figure. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are still okay, it doesn’t matter what I wear, but I need to wear a gown on Friday.”

Before Qin Nuan finished complaining, Luo Qianqian’s phone started ringing. Luo Qianqian picked up her phone and froze, ”Why is it Second Uncle?” She saw the screen showing a bouncing note of Luo Xihan’s.

But she immediately answered the cal, ”Second Uncle? What’s up?”

”Nothing much, have you had lunch yet?” Luo Xihan’s voice came through the phone, sounding very serious.

Luo Qianqian quickly shook her head, then realizing Luo Xihan couldn’t see her, she hurriedly replied, ”Not yet, we’re on our way to have lunch.”

”Three things,” Luo Xihan said with a tone filled with helplessness. ”First, Ji Tianao has already started his job. I won’t interfere with his matters, but you be a bit careful not to leave any clues.”

Luo Qianqian nodded continuously, kicking a stone as she walked, her face looking relieved.

”Just be careful about this, the second thing, your aunts want you to come try on your dresses when you have time, to make final adjustments, to ensure they fit properly.” As Luo Xihan mentioned the second item, his voice slightly rose, clearly indicating that the person concerned was nearby.

Luo Qianqian glanced at Qin Nuan, and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips: ”Second Uncle, let me tell you, Nuannuan, to make sure she won’t look bad in her clothes, is even taking me to have porridge later and won’t let me eat a proper meal.” Luo Qianqian said this in a light-hearted tone.

Originally, Qin Nuan couldn’t understand what Luo Qianqian was saying on the other end, but after hearing this, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Isn’t it possible to get other foods at a porridge stall? Besides porridge, there are also steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks, and soy milk to choose from.

”Why cut down, you guys should gain some weight... ah, Ning Ning...” Luo Xihan hadn’t finished her sentence when she suddenly cried out in pain. Luo Qianqian covered her mouth and snickered without making a sound. The next second, the phone was snatched away by Jia Ning, ”Qianqian, you really should eat less, don’t eat too greasy. Looking like a meatball in a gown isn’t pretty.”

When Luo Qianqian heard Second Aunt’s voice, she also laughed out loud, ”Then I’ll wait until Friday night to eat. Starving for two days isn’t an issue, right? But, Second Aunt, what about Nuannuan?”

Jia Ning, listening to Luo Qianqian, couldn’t help but laugh and cry, ”Don’t you dare skip meals! You, Nuannuan, and that child, take care of your health most importantly.”

Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue, ”Other things might not get done, but eating well and drinking well, I can definitely complete that task.”

Before Jia Ning could give a few more words of advice, the phone was back in Luo Xihan’s hands, ”There’s a third thing.”

A single sentence stopped Jia Ning from trying to get the phone back, as well as the laughter and teasing between Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan on the other end.

”What is it?” Luo Qianqian sensed the seriousness in Second Uncle’s tone and nervously asked.

”It’s something very important. Pay attention to your safety, you must be careful about your safety.” Luo Xihan solemnly reminded Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian was stunned for a moment before responding, and after exchanging a few more pleasantries, she hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Qianqian’s expression was somewhat strange.

”What’s wrong?” Qin Nuan could no longer be playful and looked towards Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian clasped her phone tightly, drawing circles on the ground with her foot, ”Just now, Second Uncle told me to be careful, and he said it very seriously.”

Qin Nuan was taken aback, ”It can’t be because of what happened at noon...”

”We haven’t even left our room yet; who could have spread the news so quickly? Doesn’t it feel odd?” Luo Qianqian looked towards the teaching building not far behind her, pouting.

Qin Nuan was speechless, ”Couldn’t it just be a simple reminder? It doesn’t necessarily mean something is going to happen, right?”

Qin Nuan’s words seemed to enlighten Luo Qianqian, ”You mean, Second Uncle is preparing me? Does he know someone will make a move?”

”I didn’t say anything. But that possibility can’t be ruled out,” Qin Nuan said seriously, ”After all, your status is notable. Chang Xi’s wedding has become a hot topic, and they’ve only invited a select few people, and it’s not even a grand affair, yet even that made headlines.”

”Speaking of which, I have to be a bridesmaid on the eleventh.” Luo Qianqian remembered this and had an indescribable look on her face, ”Do you think Sister Xi is paving the way for me?”

”I don’t think so...” Qin Nuan calmly shook her head, ”Firstly, they asked you to be a bridesmaid even before deciding whom to send the invitations to, right? It must be solely a friend’s invitation, but she probably wouldn’t refuse to use it to boost your image either.”

”Actually, I really don’t like how Sister Xi is getting married, clearly when she wasn’t in good shape no one bothered with her, and now not only does she have a fiancé planning a quick wedding, there’s even someone trying to interfere. Isn’t that very... what if, one day her figure goes back to that, won’t she get hurt?” Luo Qianqian pouted; Ye Liang was also a jerk, initially avoiding her at all costs, and now they were about to get married.
