Chapter 76 Song Yanchuan is angry

"I'm fine," Qin Yingxue quickly replied.

Song Yanchuan looked Qin Yingxue up and down, and only after confirming that she was truly alright did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief. His face full of self-reproach, he said, "We encountered some chaos outside, which delayed us a little..."

“Soldier, it’s more than just a little chaotic. There are police everywhere outside, they’ve practically surrounded the train. They’ve caught four criminals, and I heard a hostage died. Sigh, even in peaceful times, it’s so chaotic. Ordinary people won’t dare to go out anymore,” the little girl said with a sigh.

Qin Yingxue looked at her with some surprise.

The little girl sensed Qin Yingxue's gaze, smiled at her, and leaned closer in a fawning manner: "Pretty sister, my name is Wu Yulan. You must come and find me when you come to Yandu in the future!"

Wu Yulan hurriedly wrote down an address and handed the note to Qin Yingxue.

Qin Yingxue was somewhat surprised to receive two addresses in quick succession, both of which were in Yandu.

She never expected that Wu Yulan was actually a member of the compound.

That makes sense; someone who can be so pampered and innocent must come from an extraordinary family background.

"Okay, if I have the chance to go to Yandu." Qin Yingxue accepted the note with a faint smile on her face.

Song Yanchuan glanced at Wu Yulan with some surprise, seemingly puzzled as to how the two had become so familiar in such a short time.

Zhu Huiwen was frightened and went to bed to rest after eating only a few bites of dinner.

Qin Yingxue was a little worried, so she added spiritual spring water to the hot water she poured for her and told her to rest well.

Song Yanchuan took the chicken that had been cooked at home to reheat it, and also got two other dishes: scrambled eggs with tomatoes and Mapo tofu. He also got a box of rice for Qin Yingxue.

Qin Yingxue had just opened her lunchbox to eat when she heard a loud rumbling in her stomach.

Qin Yingxue's gaze fell precisely on Wu Yulan, who was clutching her stomach, staring longingly at the food and swallowing hard.

Song Yanchuan and Qin Yingxue exchanged a glance, then he got up and went out.

When Song Yanchuan returned, he had two extra boxed lunches in his hands, along with a serving of braised pork and a serving of stir-fried dried fish with chili peppers.

"Grandpa Huo, Wu Yulan, let's have dinner together," Qin Yingxue greeted warmly.

I don't know if the mess outside hasn't been cleaned up yet, but no one has brought Huo Qixiang any food so far.

Qin Yingxue decided to entertain them all.

Zhu Huiwen is a very skilled cook, and with her own free-range chickens, the meat is tender and the chicken soup is fragrant, which has already whetted Huo Qixiang's appetite.

Seeing that the two young people weren't stingy and had even packed enough food for four people, he didn't stand on ceremony. He grabbed a box of rice and quickly picked up a chicken leg to eat.

Wu Yulan is a foodie. Ever since Qin Yingxue got on the bus, she has been watching the little girl's mouth without stopping. When she saw Huo Qixiang take the chicken leg, she didn't bother to be polite and took the other chicken leg as well.

Song Yanchuan originally wanted to give the last chicken leg to Qin Yingxue, but his chopsticks were a step too slow, and he missed.

Seeing the old man and the child engrossed in their meal, Song Yanchuan's expression was somewhat complicated.

Qin Yingxue picked up a chicken wing and gave it to Song Yanchuan, smiling reassuringly.

Song Yanchuan took a breath, turned his chopsticks, and handed the other chicken wing to Qin Yingxue.

The young couple looked at each other and smiled.

The atmosphere that followed was somewhat comical. Almost simultaneously, Huo Qixiang and Wu Yulan finished their chicken legs and then went to grab the chicken meat. Whatever Huo Qixiang ate, Wu Yulan ate as well, as if they were having a competition. In the end, they shared the last drop of chicken soup, and then both patted their round bellies and let out satisfied sighs.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Song Yanchuan took the initiative to clear the dishes.

Huo Qixiang then realized that he had gone a bit too far. His face flushed red, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "The young lady and I ate all the chicken. You two didn't eat any. I'll make you a chicken later."

“I’ll pay for two more.” Wu Yulan gave Huo Qixiang a provocative look.

“Three.” Huo Qixiang was clearly angered by Wu Yulan, and immediately added one more.

"Four, no, five." Wu Yulan was indeed anxious and added two more in one go.

Qin Yingxue found it somewhat amusing. How come this old woman and the young child are getting more and more regressive? It's just a chicken!

“Okay, but you said five.” Huo Qixiang didn’t add any more, a sly, triumphant look on his face.

Wu Yulan immediately realized what was happening and glared at Huo Qixiang through gritted teeth.

"Hurry up and pay! One old hen costs at least two yuan, so five would be ten yuan!" Huo Qixiang urged from the side, adding fuel to the fire.

"Fine, I'll give it to you! Unlike you, who only knows how to freeload." Wu Yulan glared fiercely at Huo Qixiang and went to find her wallet.

"No need, no need, they were all raised by my mother-in-law. I'm glad you like them," Qin Yingxue quickly replied.

"Of course." Huo Qixiang's tone was unusually gentle towards Qin Yingxue. "Take the money. The Wu family has considerable resources; they won't care about a mere ten yuan."

After Huo Qixiang finished speaking, he winked playfully at Qin Yingxue.

Qin Yingxue was both amused and exasperated. Wu Yulan had already taken a ten-yuan note and, with a big smile, stuffed the money into Qin Yingxue's hand: "Pretty sister, if you don't accept it, you don't treat me like a sister."

Qin Yingxue stuffed the money back into Wu Yulan's hand: "If you truly consider me your sister, then don't give me any money. Consider this dinner a treat from my husband and me."

Since Qin Yingxue had put it that way, Wu Yulan had no choice but to accept the money, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her with a beaming smile: "Sister, you said it yourself!"

"My surname is Qin, and my name is Qin Yingxue. My husband is Song Yanchuan," Qin Yingxue formally introduced herself to the two.

"Yan Chuan, this is Grandpa Huo Qixiang, and this is Miss Wu Yulan."

Qin Yingxue then introduced the two of them to Song Yanchuan.

"Hello, sister! Hello, brother-in-law!" Wu Yulan greeted them with beaming joy and sweet words.

"Hello." Song Yanchuan nodded politely to Wu Yulan, then looked at Huo Qixiang, who was sitting to the side without moving, and his heart skipped a beat.

He said he felt something was wrong, and now he understands.

Old Master Huo, a man of outstanding achievements yet unassuming, was a pivotal figure in Yandu whose mere sneeze could send shivers down one's spine...

It was completely unexpected that such important figures would be crammed onto a train just like them.

If I'm not mistaken, the chaos outside was just a smokescreen; the thugs' real target was Elder Huo...

Thinking of this, Song Yanchuan's expression changed drastically.

Qin Yingxue had been paying attention to Song Yanchuan and sensed his emotional fluctuations. Knowing that he had guessed Huo Qixiang's identity, she calmly took his hand and gently shook her head at him.

"You—come out with me for a moment." Song Yanchuan took a breath and pulled Qin Yingxue outside.

Qin Yingxue passively followed Song Yanchuan; this was the first time she had ever seen Song Yanchuan angry.
