CHAPTER 1365: CHAPTER 1365: A WISE MAN SUBMITS TO CIRCUMSTANCES

Gu Qianru knew that at this age, it was impossible for her to have children of her own. But she would treat the five siblings in front of her as her own. Relationships are built through interaction, and the Luo Family’s children all have good character. She believed that sincerity would be returned with sincerity.

The children also came over to thank Grandpa and Grandma one by one. The way they called out "Grandpa" and "Grandma" was warm and affectionate. The smiles on Gu Qianru and Luo Haotian’s faces never faded.

The lunch was entirely prepared by Gu Qianru. Over the years, she didn’t have many hobbies except discussing cooking ideas with Sister-in-law Tang. She had put a lot of thought into this meal.

As everyone took their seats, Luo Haotian smiled and looked at the group: "From now on, this house won’t be quiet and lifeless anymore. Come back more often with the kids whenever you have time."

Luo Xuyan raised his glass: "Dad, don’t worry. We’ll come back often to crash your meals. And when we don’t have time to bring the kids, we’ll definitely throw them here. At that time, it’ll be a bit of trouble for Auntie Gu."

Gu Qianru’s face was full of smiles: "As long as you don’t mind, I will gladly welcome them with open arms."

She understood what Xuyan meant. Even though they still couldn’t call her ’Mom,’ they had internally acknowledged and accepted her.

Woo Yunmei smiled at Gu Qianru: "Mother-in-law, then don’t expect us to hold back in the future."

Zhou Xiaomin echoed: "The little ones are so lucky now. You all should thank Grandma."

Luo Zitong really adored this Grandma: "Before, my older cousins had their own biological grandmas, and I really envied them. Now, I have one of my own too."

She even held onto Gu Qianru’s arm: "From now on, I also have a Grandma who dotes on me."

Listening to her granddaughter’s words, Gu Qianru’s heart melted completely. She reached out to smooth Zitong’s hair: "Alright, from now on, Grandma will pamper you all."

Luo Qiao stood up and raised her glass: "Okay, we’re all family here. No need for formalities. From now on, we also have another place where we can shamelessly crash meals. Come on, everyone raise your glasses, let’s toast to a bright and prosperous future ahead!"

The family enjoyed a harmonious and warm meal together. After cleaning up, they moved to the living room.

Gu Qianru brought over a plate of fruit: "If any of you feel tired, you can go take a nap."

Luo Haotian chimed in: "Your rooms—your Auntie Gu has been cleaning them every day for you all."

The brothers heard this and felt deeply warmed. Their biological mother hadn’t cared much for them in the past. Looking at Gu Qianru, their faces were filled with smiles. Luo Siyuan spoke up: "Thank you, Auntie Gu."

Gu Qianru sat down beside Luo Haotian: "This is your home, and it’s what I should do. You don’t need to be polite with me anymore."

After chatting for a while, the brothers started playing cards, while Luo Haotian and Gu Qianru took the children to a small shop near the family housing complex to buy pop-its.

Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen went off to watch a movie together.

The four sisters-in-law chatted for a while, then decided to go out for a stroll around the family housing complex. After all, even though they had married into the Luo Family for some time, they hadn’t visited this area often.

As soon as they stepped out, they ran into Luo Haotian and Gu Qianru returning with the children, each holding several boxes of pop-its, their faces full of smiles.

Someone gathered around them: "Factory Director, your family sure is lively this year. Where are you taking your grandchildren and great-grandchildren?"

Luo Haotian replied with a broad smile: "Oh, they were clamoring for pop-its, so I took them to buy some. They’re just a bunch of little troublemakers."

"Factory Director, don’t try to hide it. I bet you’re secretly delighted!"

Having been called out, Luo Haotian laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, you’re absolutely right."

The group around him burst out laughing as well.

Gu Qianru turned to the daughters-in-law: "Where are you heading off to?"

Woo Yunmei glanced at her father-in-law with a smile: "The few of us aren’t very familiar with this family housing complex, so we thought we’d take the chance while it’s quiet to explore a bit."

Gu Qianru looked around and didn’t see Luo Qiao: "Where’s Qiaoqiao?"

Xiao Ya laughed: "Oh, the two of them went off to be romantic, went out to watch a movie together."

Xiao Ye ran over: "Second Auntie, my dad and mom ditched us to go watch a movie?"

Xiao Ya burst out laughing at her nephew’s words: "Your dad said before he left that if you have any objections, you can take them up with him when he’s back."

Hearing this, Xiao Ye deflated: "Forget it then, it’s rare for them to get a break."

Truly, knowing when to pick your battles is a mark of wisdom.

The group of adults standing around couldn’t help but laugh at this sight.
