CHAPTER 518: CHAPTER 518: WILL DEFINITELY MISCARRY!

Yan Qianyi glanced at Ning Nuan and gave a slight nod, "I’ve been quite well lately."

"Any problems with your health?" Mu Huaner asked.

Ning Nuan interjected, "Little aunt, Qianyi’s own medical skills are very impressive, and she’s still friends with the Masked Divine Doctor, so her health definitely won’t have any problems."

Yan Qianyi smiled faintly.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

The three of them had no common topics to discuss.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they ran out of things to say.

After a moment of silence, Yan Qianyi spoke, "Aunt Xue is cooking right now. Would you like to stay for lunch before leaving? I’ll ask Aunt Xue to make some extra dishes."

It sounded like she was inviting them to stay, but also reminding them that it was time to leave.

Mu Huaner took it as the latter and quickly said, "No need, we’ll just sit for a while and then leave. Nuannuan had some things she wanted to tell you, so I brought her over to see you."

After saying this, Mu Huaner gave Ning Nuan a meaningful look.

Ning Nuan smiled, "I can already smell the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. Little aunt, why don’t we have lunch before leaving? I’d also like to talk more with Qianyi."

Mu Huaner slightly furrowed her brow, her questioning gaze confusedly fixed on Ning Nuan.

On their way here, she had already told Ning Nuan that Yan Qianyi was a cold person who disliked being disturbed, and that they should leave early after speaking their piece.

But Ning Nuan ignored Mu Huaner, pretending not to notice the hint in her eyes, and took a sip from her water glass.

Yan Qianyi turned toward the kitchen and called out, "Aunt Xue, make a few more dishes. Little aunt and my classmate are staying for lunch."

There was no response from the kitchen.

"I’ll go tell her, feel free to make yourselves at home."

Saying this, Yan Qianyi stood up and walked toward the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Aunt Xue was selecting vegetables, muttering to herself, "The young lady is too kind! Why bother inviting them to eat? What if they throw a tantrum here later?"

"Because she’s Ah Lie’s little aunt."

Yan Qianyi’s voice suddenly rose from behind.

Aunt Xue jumped in surprise and quickly turned around, "Miss."

Yan Qianyi smiled helplessly, "So, you heard just now?"

"Yes," Aunt Xue nodded, discontentedly saying, "Even though she is the son-in-law’s little aunt, her attitude toward you before was not good at all. Aren’t you afraid she’ll trouble you again and upset you? You’re pregnant now; you can’t get angry."

"Don’t worry, she won’t make me angry now, and there’s nothing more between us."

She could feel that Mu Huaner’s attitude today was sincere.

The previous unpleasantness between them had indeed all been due to misunderstandings.

When others treat her sincerely, she reciprocates.

Now that Mu Huaner was making efforts to be amicable, for Ah Lie’s sake, she was willing to engage.

If she and Mu Huaner could get along well, Ah Lie would definitely be very happy.

"Miss, you’ve become much more agreeable since you got pregnant. I rather wish you were like before, so no one could bully you."

"Don’t worry, she won’t bully me anymore. Hurry up with the cooking, I’ll head back now."

Yan Qianyi turned and walked out.

Ah Lie had mentioned more than once that during his childhood at the Mu Family, he was greatly indebted to Mu Huaner’s care and protection.

Mu Huaner had shown kindness to Ah Lie.

That meant she had shown kindness to her.

Since it wasn’t Mu Huaner who killed her mother, she should treat Mu Huaner as one treats their elders.

In the living room, Mu Huaner was asking Ning Nuan, "Nuannuan, what are you doing? Didn’t we agree to leave after you explained everything to her?"

"Little aunt, don’t be nervous. I can see that you want to get along with Yan Qianyi, so you should interact more and talk more with her. That’s the way to get closer and enhance feelings. I’m really hungry too, I’ll eat and then leave, it won’t bother her."

Mu Huaner wanted to say more, but when she heard Yan Qianyi’s approaching footsteps, she quickly put on a smile.

After Yan Qianyi sat down, Ning Nuan said, "Qianyi, the main reason I came here today is to talk about my relationship with Brother Ah Lie."

Yan Qianyi’s hand, which was about to lift a glass of water, paused slightly.

She curved her lips and continued lifting the glass, "I understand, no need to explain."

After saying that, she took a light sip of water.

Ning Nuan said, "But last time at the little aunt’s clubhouse, there was a misunderstanding. You must believe me and Brother Ah Lie, there is really nothing inappropriate between us. Even though there was a childhood betrothal and we grew up together, we’ve never crossed any boundaries."

The smile in Yan Qianyi’s eyes cooled slightly.

Ning Nuan’s words gave her the feeling of "protesting too much."

The constant mention of "us" seemed like a repetitive reminder of their relationship.

"Actually, there’s really no need to explain. I believe my husband," Yan Qianyi said.

But she didn’t say she believed Ning Nuan.

Ning Nuan blinked, her smile slightly awkward.

"That’s good, I hope you and Brother Ah Lie will be together forever, and I hope your baby is born healthy and strong."

"Thank you, that’s for sure."

"Qianyi, are we still friends then?"

"I’m afraid we can’t be friends."

Ning Nuan’s face stiffened, and she glanced at Mu Huaner.

Yan Qianyi smiled and said, "Aren’t you calling Brother Ah Lie ’brother’? That makes you my sister-in-law, so you should call me sister-in-law."

"...Right, right, right." Ning Nuan’s smile returned, though inside she was seething with hatred.

At first, when she approached Yan Qianyi, she had called her sister-in-law.

Back then, Yan Qianyi had politely asked her not to call her that.

Now, Yan Qianyi seemed to have changed a lot, intentionally making her call her sister-in-law, wanting her to recognize her role.

Giving her a bit of face and she’s shining bright!

Presuming to be the sister-in-law before me, she doesn’t even consider if she’s worthy!

Aunt Xue quickly prepared lunch.

Ning Nuan said, "Little aunt, didn’t you buy bird’s nest for Qianyi? Serve her some now, it’s best to eat bird’s nest on an empty stomach before meals, and the bird’s nest you bought is prepared already, no need to stew."

Reminded by Ning Nuan, Mu Huaner remembered about the gift containing bird’s nest.

So, she asked Aunt Xue to get a bowl and spoon, personally poured out the bird’s nest, and brought it to the dining table.

"Thank you, little aunt." Yan Qianyi took it with both hands, "Next time you come, don’t bring any gifts. I haven’t even had a chance to use the gifts you brought last time."

"It’s okay, there will be plenty of opportunities to slowly use the gifts from last time." Mu Huaner smiled broadly.

She sensed a significant shift in Yan Qianyi’s attitude towards her.

This made her very happy.

"Qianyi, try it and see how it tastes. I rarely buy these ready-prepared bird’s nests. If it tastes good, I will buy some to eat too." Ning Nuan urged from the side, a hint of viciousness hidden in her eyes.

She secretly put a tasteless and colorless drug in the bird’s nest. With all of Yan Qianyi’s medical skill, she wouldn’t be able to detect it.

As long as Yan Qianyi took a sip, she would certainly miscarry...
