Chapter 86: Dreaming of Lu Chen!

Just as he finished speaking, Qin Lao San was directly slapped by Qin Lao Da.

"Qin Lao San, what nonsense are you spouting? What do you think Tang Bao is? That dog man Lu Yanshen, about to marry seamlessly, has faced retribution—what do you hope to achieve by saying this to Tang Bao?"

"I was wrong, big brother." Qin Lao San covered his forehead, begging for mercy with overwhelming desperation.

He just said that offhandedly; his thought was also very simple.

If Tang Bao truly likes Lu Yanshen's face, she doesn't necessarily have to stick with him—look, doesn't Lu Chen also have a handsome, good‑looking face?

That guy Lu Chen, his character is still reliable.

Besides his career, he absolutely has no first love.

Being with Lu Chen, at least their Tang Bao won't be hurt.

Moreover, when Tang Bao's baby in her womb is born, face to face, no one will suspect the child isn't Lu Chen's.

As long as they don't do a blood test, it's fine.

By then, if Tang Bao helps Lu Chen have a biological child, everything will be perfectly resolved.

He thought that way because he saw Tang Bao unhappy since her divorce.

"Tang Bao, come on, go home, Lao San—punish you to feed mosquitoes in the yard for half an hour." Qin Muyang wasn't that soft‑hearted; if you make a mistake you must be punished, otherwise you won't remember.

If you don't remember, you'll easily repeat the mistake next time.

Saying that in our own yard would be fine, but if it somehow reaches Lu Chen's ears, what would they think of our Tang Bao?

Marry someone while carrying a ball?

Buy one, get one free?

As if the supermarket were having a big sale?

Their Tang Bao isn't a discounted item.

If next time they can't find a man who wholeheartedly treats their Tang Bao well, then Tang Bao will never marry in this lifetime.

Their Qin family can afford it; even if the parents are gone, there are still three older brothers.

Qin Lao San: "……"

Xie Wantang felt soft‑hearted, unwilling to see Qin Lao San punished, and interceded: "Big brother, three brother knows he was wrong; besides, Qiu Qiu is visiting our home for the first time, so let's forgive three brother this once."

"Three brother will surely not misspeak next time, right?"

"Mm‑hm." Qin Lao San nodded vigorously.

No one would believe that the new‑generation business mogul, who calls the shots in the business world and looks down on everyone, is at home just an obedient little wolf‑dog.

Submitting to the lustful might of the Qin family patriarch.

And it's the willing kind.

Qin Muyang, having been persuaded, also indeed remembered there were still guests at home; otherwise, the half‑hour mosquito‑feeding punishment would be impossible for Qin Lao San to escape.

Qin Lao San has sensitive skin; a mosquito bite makes him itch all over and causes a large swollen red area.

Therefore, when Xie Wantang was ten, she specially made a mosquito‑repellent sachet for her third brother and wore it.

The effect was remarkable—far better than any store‑bought repellent. After Xie Wantang solved this problem for her third brother, to Qin Lao San she was more important than his own life.

Whoever dares to bully Tang Bao, Qin Lao San will certainly not let them off.

As for the Lu family, he will certainly not let them off.

Next, among his expansion targets is the Lu family of Sijiucheng.

Although it's a bit far, it's fine—he doesn't need to acquire the Lu Clan Group; just having it go bankrupt is enough.

Those two women of the Lu family—aren't they just relying on being Lu family women, with the Lu family's money to squander as they please?

Moreover, they look down on their Tang Bao everywhere.

Relying on the Lu family's wealth, they swagger in front of their Tang Bao, deliberately making her feel disgusted—then he'll make that trash mother‑daughter pair taste what it's like to be penniless.

Thus Qin Lao San escaped disaster.

The four siblings entered the house; Xie Ningmeng told the three brothers to go about their own business, she changed into long sleeves and pants, Xu Yanqiu also changed into long sleeves and pants, only Xie Wantang remained unchanged.

"Tang Bao, go upstairs and change clothes; we'll take Yanqiu to the back yard to pick grapes."

"Okay."

"Mom, Tang Bao's belly." Qin Muyang had gone halfway up the stairs when he heard Xie Ningmeng was going to take the two girls to pick grapes, so he turned back to remind Xie Ningmeng.

"It's fine; moderate exercise is good for the baby in a pregnant woman's belly. After just eating, how can you not digest?" Xie Ningmeng was speechless—this big brother just worries needlessly, forgetting what his own mother does.

She is a professional.

Unless the embryo itself isn't viable, how could it easily fall out?

A pregnant woman can do whatever she wants and eat whatever she wants; the most important thing is to be at ease.

"……"

Qin Muyang stayed silent, then reminded Xie Wantang: "Tang Bao, put on a pair of non‑slip shoes."

"Got it, big brother."

"You big brother, you're more naggy than Dad." Xie Ningmeng complained with disdain.

When Xie Ningmeng isn't in work mode, her mindset is very youthful, like a little girl.

Over these years, Qin Siyuan's excessive indulgence of her and his three sons is the reason.

Fact proves that if a woman wants to stay young, she needs to be pampered and nourished by love.

Whether it's being pampered by those around her or by herself, either works.

The three went to the back yard to pick grapes.

These grapes were planted together by Xie Ningmeng and Xie Wantang.

In the season of abundant harvest, Xie Ningmeng picks some fresh grapes every night, stores them in the fridge, and the next day brings them to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic to share with the staff.

With many grape varieties, Xie Ningmeng planted all the cultivable kinds in this back yard.

The backyard is large; besides grapes, there are peaches, waxberries, mangoes, etc.

It counts as achieving fruit freedom.

The three picked while chatting.

Xie Ningmeng was also seeing Lu Chen for the first time this time, and going to Sijiucheng was also her first time seeing Lu Yanshen; frankly, she really couldn't tell the two apart.

Actually, the two are in fact quite easy to distinguish.

One has a buzz cut, the other does not.

One likes casual clothes, wearing whatever is comfortable; the other dresses himself very elite.

"Tang Bao, don't worry, Lu Chen and Lu Yanshen—these two people, I and Yanqiu also can't tell them apart."

"Yeah." Xu Yanqiu echoed.

"Mom, I'm not worried anymore; besides that face, they are actually two completely different people, I know." Xie Wantang knew they were worrying for her.

When she faced Lu Chen today, she was indeed overly indiscreet.

Hearing that, Xie Ningmeng felt relieved.

After picking a basket of grapes, the three headed back home.

Xie Ningmeng washed several bunches for the family, one each, and put the rest all in the fridge.

That night, Xie Wantang had a dream.

In the dream, she returned to when she was fourteen, she went up the mountain to help Xie Ningmeng gather medicinal herbs, then on the way down the mountain she encountered a mudslide and got trapped.

In the dream, the scene had only her.

As she gasped for breath, Lu Yanshen arrived.

She shouted toward him: "Lu Yanshen, I'm here."

Lu Yanshen walked over, turned around, squatted down, Xie Wantang then climbed onto his back, and Lu Yanshen carried her to safety without a word.

Immediately after, the scene shifted back to Sijiucheng.

She saw Lu Yanshen sitting in a wheelchair and said to him: "Lu Yanshen, I am willing to marry you; let me take care of you."

Lu Yanshen had his back to her; suddenly he rose from the wheelchair, turned, and stepped toward her step by step: "Miss Xie, look clearly, who am I?"

""

It was actually Lu Chen!
