Chapter 194 - 194: Beautiful
Su Lan and the others had already gathered at the gate, eagerly awaiting Su Ning’s return. When they saw her approaching with a beaming smile, their curiosity was piqued, and they couldn’t help but wonder what had happened.
Excitedly, Su Ning spoke up, “Guess what? I overheard Third Brother calling Third Sister-in-law ‘darling’!”
Her playful imitation of their exchange drew laughter from the group, but some still found it hard to believe.
Doubtful, Su Lan pulled Su Ning aside, her face glowing with happiness. “Are you absolutely certain? Could you have misheard?”
With a firm nod, Su Ning replied, “I’m positive! I heard it crystal clear. The way Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law interacted, it was undeniable. And look at all the things Third Brother was carrying! He’s taking care of Third Sister-in-law so well, making sure she doesn’t carry a heavy load.”
Su Ning was right. While Qin Zhenzhen had empty hands, Su Bin had a bag on his back and was loaded with items, many of which were gifts from Qin Zhenzhen’s family.
Ms. Yang, showing her affection through gifts, had bought pork, sausages, and smoked meat like they were going out of style. There were also snacks like beef jerky, especially for Su Lan’s daughter.
This sight made Su Bin feel a bit embarrassed. He wanted to demonstrate his thoughtfulness towards Qin Zhenzhen, hence the heavy load.
Ms. Yang, observing this display of affection, whispered to Qin Zhenzhen,
“Never mention divorce again. It’s not easy to find such a considerate husband.”
Qin Zhenzhen nodded in agreement, “You’re right. I understand now.”
As they witnessed the scene unfolding before them, Su Lan and the others couldn’t help but recognize the unique bond between Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen. They weren’t just close; there was an obvious depth to their relationship, something special that they seemed to be discussing quietly amongst themselves.
Su Lan playfully scolded Su Ning, “Why didn’t you get anything for your Third Brother?”
With a smile, Su Ning replied, “I was so thrilled about the good news that I hurried back to share it with all of you!”
As they chatted, Su Lan took the initiative to greet Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen, saying, “Welcome back, Third Sister-in-law, Third Brother! We’ve been eagerly awaiting your return every day!”
“Hello, Third Brother! Hi, Third Sister-in-law!”
“Great to see you both!”
Su Bin’s brothers and sisters warmly welcomed them, and they took the bags from Su Bin’s hands.
“Third Brother, hand these over to us.” “Why did you buy so many things?”
“Is that smoked meat I smell?”
Su Bin explained, “Most of these were given to us by Third Sister-in-law’s family.”
Su Ping patted Su Bin’s shoulders and asked teasingly, “Are you heading back to your mother-in-law’s place?”
“I st0DDed bv there on the wav back.”
Although Su Bin said it casually, his brothers and sisters couldn’t hide their happiness. They were all thrilled to see the improved relationship between him and Qin Zhenzhen, especially evident from his visit to her mother-in-law’s home.
Amid the cheerful atmosphere, Su Lan couldn’t help but wonder if her brother and Qin Zhenzhen had taken their relationship to the next level. She teasingly thought they must have consummated the marriage, making her excited to become an aunt soon.
Noticing Su Lan’s curious gaze, Qin Zhenzhen playfully remarked, “Sister, do I have flowers on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?”
Amused, Su Lan replied, “No flowers on your face, but you look as lovely as a blooming flower.”
Su Bin joined in, generously praising Qin Zhenzhen, “You’re right, sister. My wife is becoming more beautiful with each passing day.”
The group beamed with joy, and even the villagers nearby shared in their happiness, commenting, “Indeed, they both make a gorgeous couple.. It’s like they were destined to be together!”
