Capítulo 769: 470 Complaining about old n being very good at flirting? Their den has been raided (2 updates)_2
“He should get along really well with the fourth brother, given his personality,” Tang Wan said with a smile.
“That kid does love to have fun, and the Huo Family indulges him; he’s quite a handful. But considering the age gap, the fourth brother wouldn’t hang out with a brat, would he?”
“That’s also true.”
Jiang Chengsi might seem easy-going, but deep down, he was quite proud and picky, with firm opinions and ideas of his own. Just as fond of fun as anyone else, he wouldn’t spare a glance for the likes of Liang Han.

Hexi Huo Family
As Jiang Jinsang had predicted, with Huo Ran, the little sun around, the atmosphere at the dining table was excellent.
He had planned to leave this morning, but Liang Yun said it had been a long ti since they’d seen him, so she urged him to stay a few more days. With this kid at ho, causing a ruckus and never settling down, Huo Zheng frowned—why would his wife want him to stay?
Wasn’t she afraid that this kid would cause trouble when they invited the Elder Shens over?
Now he understood; they were counting on this little guy to liven things up.
Huo Ran was indeed not one to sit still; however, he knew his boundaries. Today, they were hosting the future in-laws of Huo Qinqi, and if he dared to make trouble, he wouldn’t live to walk out of the Huo Family.
With his brother’s temperant, he would definitely hang him up and give him a beating!
Moreover, Huo Ran had co to realize that the Shen Family was the powerful support he could rely on in the future.
Especially his sister-in-law; as long as he firmly clung to her support, what was Huo Qinqi in comparison? He didn’t need to care at all.
To outsiders, the Huo Family always seed overly serious and dignified. The Elder Shens spoke with caution, but with Huo Ran around, the stereotype of the Huo Family was imdiately broken. In the end, they were just an ordinary family.
At first, everyone was a bit constrained, and the atmosphere was inevitably tense, but it gradually relaxed over ti.
By the end of the al, both guests and hosts were pleased. No one deliberately brought up the matter of Huo Qinqi and Shen Shuci, and there was no ntion of when to set a wedding date or the like. It was just two families sitting down and enjoying a al together.
After the al, Liang Yun suggested inviting the Elder Shens to the backyard to admire the plum blossoms, while Shen Shuci took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes.
“Leave the dishes; soone will take care of them,” Liang Yun subtly expressed her delight at Shen Shuci volunteering to clear the table, though she didn’t voice it.
“We’ve already been enough of a disturbance by coming over today. You personally cooked and have been busy for a long ti; you should rest. Let the children handle it,” Old Madam Shen said with a smile, hoping that Shen Shuci would leave a good impression on Huo Zheng and his wife.
…
Although Shen Shuci wasn’t skilled at cooking, she was quite efficient at household chores. She had just started collecting the dishes into the sink when her task was taken over by soone else.
“Let do it,” Huo Qinqi approached her.
He casually rolled up his sleeves and took over the job from her, assertive and domineering, leaving hardly any opportunity for Shen Shuci to refuse.
“Weren’t you supposed to be joining them in the backyard?”
“I’m not needed there.” He began washing the dishes promptly and adeptly.
Shen Shuci stood by for a while, watching his sleeves, which he had rolled up to his elbows, gradually unroll. “Don’t move; let fix your sleeves for you.”
Huo Qinqi paused his current task and allowed her to roll up his sleeves. He had only casually rolled them up, nothing as ticulous as what she did.
He watched the person in front of him with a concentrated expression, as if doing sothing incredibly solemn.
Her fingers brushed over his arm, almost imperceptibly, tickling him a bit.
“My uncle asked a few questions today,” Huo Qinqi initiated the conversation, as direct as ever.
Shen Shuci had wanted to ask him but hadn’t found the right mont. She hadn’t expected him to bring it up, which made her feel particularly comfortable. It was always better to communicate openly than for both sides to guess each other’s thoughts.
“What did he say?”
“He asked , what makes think I can make you happy? If I can’t be by your side all the ti, with a career that poses danger, it’s possible that if sothing happens to you, I might not be able to be there for you. Maybe after getting married, we would have to live in different places.” Huo Qinqi looked at her seriously.
“Is that all?” Shen Shuci looked up slightly at him.
“Being with , it’s going to be hard for you.” His eyes were deep, his usual serious deanor.
“I’m not like Yanting or Xiaowu; it’s possible that I might not be there for you even during your pregnancy or childbirth.”
“These are things you need to consider carefully.”
So lives are not ant for everyone to accept.
Shen Shuci’s hands were still holding his sleeves, steadying his arm. Huo Qinqi had thought she might need more ti to think it over, but to his surprise, she just smiled:
“Then you just have to be even better to .”
Her words were light, not seeming to be joking; and he understood that Shen Shuci was not one to joke around.
