CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: THE AUTHOR MUST BE ADORABLE TOO

"Mom, did you talk to Jingming?" Wei Jin asked on the way back.

"I did," He Xiulan replied.

"That’s good, I’ve given Xiaoyu a heads-up too. I think the two of them should be open with each other soon," Wei Jin added.

He Xiulan patted Wei Jin’s hand, "You are so considerate."

Actually, it was Wei Jin who suggested these words for He Xiulan to say.

Wei Jin shook her head, "I think Xiaoyu is great, I don’t want Jingming to miss out, Xiaoyu is great too, so I hope she won’t let anything hold her back."

He Xiulan sighed, "Actually, I quite like Xiaoyu, she’s got a great personality and looks too."

Wei Jin smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Mom, I don’t think there’ll be anything wrong between Xiaoyu and Jingming."

He Xiulan looked at Wei Jin curiously, Wei Jin didn’t keep her guessing:

"I can see that Xiaoyu still likes Jingming; although it’s not very obvious, I can feel it."

"Really?" He Xiulan asked in surprise.

Wei Jin, "Yes."

He Xiulan, "That’s wonderful, if that’s the case, it’s really great."

"Xiao He, stop for a moment," He Xiulan suddenly said to the driver.

Xiao He stopped the car, "Madam, what’s wrong?"

He Xiulan, "Wait a moment, I’m getting off to buy something."

Wei Jin, "Mom, what do you want to buy? I’ll go get it."

He Xiulan refused, "No need, it won’t take long, I’ll go myself."

With that, He Xiulan opened the car door.

A while later, He Xiulan returned with a newspaper.

Wei Jin asked in confusion, "Mom, since when do you like reading the newspaper?"

At home, it’s usually Jiang Songwen who reads the newspaper.

He Xiulan first said to Xiao He, "Xiao He, drive on."

Then she said, "I’ll show you something nice and you’ll understand."

With that, He Xiulan unfolded the newspaper, "Look at this."

Wei Jin looked over, it’s a serialized comic.

"Let me tell you, this comic is really nice, and the drawings are good, look at this sheep, its hair is so cute," He Xiulan pointed at the hair of Lazy Sheep.

Wei Jin looked at the hairstyle and couldn’t help but laugh, "It’s indeed quite cute."

"Right, I think it’s cute. The author who can draw such a comic must be even cuter. I’ll show it to you when I’m finished, it’s really interesting," He Xiulan said.

Wei Jin laughed, "Alright."

All the way, He Xiulan was engrossed in reading the comic in the newspaper.

After returning home, He Xiulan said with a lingering sentiment, "This comic is really too good, the only downside is that there’s too little of it."

"I wonder when that Pleasant Goat will get to eat the sheep."

"Who mentioned eating roast lamb tonight?" a figure suddenly emerged.

"Oh my, you scared me," He Xiulan said covering her chest.

"Auntie, long time no see!" The man who popped out called to He Xiulan.

He Xiulan looked closely and realized it was Wei Jin’s younger brother, Wei Lai.

"It’s Wei Lai, how’d you come back? When did you get back?" He Xiulan said with surprise.

"I just got back yesterday, and since I came back, I wanted to come see you," Wei Lai said.

He Xiulan, "Good good, it’s been a while, do you plan to go back to M Country this time?"

Wei Lai shook his head, "I’m graduated already, not going back."

"Good, come inside quickly," He Xiulan said, pulling Wei Lai along.

Wei Jin watched the figures of He Xiulan and Wei Lai, shaking her head helplessly.

Anyone who didn’t know might think Wei Lai was He Xiulan’s son.

Wei Lai linked arms with He Xiulan, entering the living room quite affably.

Inside were Wei Jin’s parents and her sister, Wei Qing.

"Oh, why didn’t you say something about coming over, it’s really quite rude not to entertain you," He Xiulan said apologetically.

Wei Jin’s mother, Ning Yayan, said, "What’s there to be sorry for, we’re family, not outsiders. It’s really that Wei Lai, that little scoundrel, insisted on coming to see his sister."

Wei Lai retorted, "I haven’t seen my sister for so long, who says I can’t come to see her?"

Wei Jin said with a helpless smile, "Wei Lai."

Wei Lai pouted.

"Sis, I brought gifts for you from M Country," Wei Lai said, lining up beside Wei Jin.

Wei Lai is 21 years old this year, he always liked to stay close to Wei Jin ever since he was young.

Back when Wei Jin married Jiang Chunhe, Wei Lai cried for a long time.

Wei Jin looked at Wei Lai with a gentle expression.

Wei Qing also came to Wei Jin’s side, "Sis."

Wei Jin smiled at Wei Qing.

Not long after, Jiang Chunhe and Jiang Songwen returned too.

"Why didn’t you inform us in advance that you’re coming, it’s really a blunder not to wait for you at home," Jiang Songwen said, shaking hands with Wei Guo.

"Mom and Dad, you’re here," Jiang Chunhe said as well.

Wei Guo and Ning Yayan nodded toward Jiang Chunhe.

Wei Guo said, "No need to be so formal. It’s Wei Lai, the little scoundrel, who came back from M Country, wanting to see his sister. We thought it’s been a long time since both families got together, so we came along."

Jiang Songwen said, "Wei Lai is back? That’s great, let me call the restaurant now and book a private room, so both families can have a nice gathering."

"Sure, we’re guests so we’ll go along with your arrangements," Wei Guo said.

Jiang Songwen turned around to make the call.

"Mom, where’s A-Jin?"

He Xiulan said, "Xiao Jin is in the backyard with her brother and sister."

Jiang Chunhe said to Wei Guo and Ning Yayan, "Sorry, Mom and Dad, I’ll go find A-Jin."

Ning Yayan watched Jiang Chunhe’s affectionate look toward Wei Jin and said immediately, "Go ahead, go ahead."

Wei Guo nodded at Jiang Chunhe.

Only then did Jiang Chunhe head to the backyard.

Meanwhile, in the pavilion in the backyard, Wei Jin and her siblings were seated together, chatting.

Wei Lai said something which made Wei Jin laugh.

Jiang Chunhe smiled and walked toward Wei Jin, his gaze on her the whole time.

"My brother-in-law is here," Wei Lai looked at Jiang Chunhe.

Wei Qing also shouted, "Brother-in-law."

Jiang Chunhe stood by Wei Jin, placing his hand on her shoulder, "What are you talking about that’s making you so happy?"

"Brother’s telling me and Sis about things that happened in M Country."

"Why did Wei Lai suddenly come back from M Country?" Jiang Chunhe asked.

Wei Lai said proudly, "Of course, it’s because I graduated smoothly."

Jiang Chunhe raised his eyebrows, "That’s indeed impressive."

Wei Lai felt even prouder.

...

"I heard Jingming got married?" Wei Guo asked.

Jiang Songwen, "Yes, it happened recently."

Wei Guo, "We happened to be visiting Xiao Qing’s grandmother back in the hometown then, a bit of a pity."

He Xiulan said, "No need to feel sorry."

Wei Guo and Ning Yayan looked puzzled, Ning Yayan asked, "What do you mean?"

He Xiulan, "Jingming is planning to have another wedding ceremony with Xiaoyu, by then you should have time."

"Another one? Why?" Ning Yayan asked in surprise.

He Xiulan sighed, "That’s a long story."

...

(The title is certainly not talking about me, hahaha

We’re all very cute! Don’t like cute? Then beautiful, generous, charming!)
