Before Tong Qian could even refuse, Tong Xiaonan had already sat down on the stove and started a fire.

Tong Qian felt embarrassed by this behavior. She didn't say anything more and let the woman do as she pleased.

If Tong Xiaonan isn't tired, then go ahead and do it. She definitely won't stop her. In the end, Tong Qian will do everything the host should do, and she doesn't want to worry about anything else or say anything more.

Tong Xiaonan tended the fire while glancing at Ji Xiuping outside.

She just wanted to show this man how hardworking she was.

"Sister, the food you made smells so good!" Tong Xiaonan couldn't help but sniff it. This was definitely not a compliment; the food really did taste much better than what she made at home, and it even smelled like meat. She couldn't wait to eat it right away.

Tong Xiaonan ate a lot at the banquet last night, and she still thinks about the taste. She feels like she could never get enough of it in her lifetime.

She felt that her usual meals were really bad, and when she encountered such delicious food, Tong Xiaonan couldn't stop eating and wished she could eat such delicious food every day.

Tong Xiaonan knew that if she stayed at her old home, she would eventually marry someone else, and she probably wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food for the rest of her life.

Upon hearing this, Tong Qian couldn't help but reply, "There's still a lot of leftovers from last night. If you like, you can pack them up with Grandma when you get home, and then just heat them up and you can eat them."

Most people would feel grateful after hearing Tong Qian say those words, but Tong Xiaonan felt very uncomfortable.

She doesn't want to go back at all now and plans to stay here, where she can eat well, live in a nice house, and sleep under such a nice blanket every night.

After all, Tong Xiaonan felt that she would marry Ji Xiuping sooner or later, so living here felt perfectly natural. This big house was so comfortable! There was even a charcoal fire inside at night, and the new quilt was so warm and comfortable. She had already fallen in love with this place after just one day.

But she didn't expect the food here to be ten or eight times better than at home. Tong Xiaonan felt like this place was paradise and didn't want to go back. Now she just wanted to live here forever, not only to enjoy a good life, but also to see her beloved man every day.

But unexpectedly, Tong Qian told her and the old lady to go back. Wasn't that a clear message to them to hurry back home?

When Tong Xiaonan heard this, she really wanted to ask when Tong Qian would discuss with Ji Xiuping about taking a concubine, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Sister, you are so kind."

In the end, Tong Xiaonan could only force a smile and then keep flattering Tong Qian.

Tong Qian didn't say anything after hearing this. If it weren't for the old lady, she wouldn't want to talk to this family at all, let alone let them pack up the food and let Tong Xiaonan stay at home overnight. It was all because she wanted to see the old lady eat better and live a better life.

Even if this family might gain some advantage by following the old lady, it doesn't matter. Tong Qian just hopes that the old lady will get better.

My current situation is quite good, so there's no point in worrying about so much.

After smelling the aroma, Ji Xiuping scurried into the kitchen and approached his wife with a grin, saying, "It smells so good! I'm practically dying of envy!"

"It will be ready to eat in a little while."

"Wife, I've discovered that you're truly wonderful. Since having you, I don't have to worry about anything. Look at you, you can do everything, you're so beautiful, you earn so much money, you cook such delicious meals, and most importantly, you're so considerate of me. I'm so happy to have married you. It's truly the blessing I've accumulated in my eight lifetimes."

When Ji Xiuping said this, his mouth was as sweet as if he had eaten candy.

After saying that, he reached out and hugged Tong Qian tightly from behind, the two of them appearing very close.

Tong Qian could accept it if the two of them were alone, since she was already used to it. But there was another person in the room, and she felt really embarrassed to be so intimate in front of others. She didn't have that kind of thick skin.

He could only keep a straight face and say to Ji Xiuping in a serious tone, "Stop making a scene here. Can't you see your cousin is still here?"

Ji Xiuping noticed Tong Xiaonan when he heard those words.

He glanced at Tong Xiaonan and realized that the woman was looking at him.

Tong Xiaonan's eyes trembled uncomfortably. Ji Xiuping was puzzled when he saw this, feeling that there was something else in the woman's eyes, especially that burning feeling, which was really uncomfortable.

Ji Xiuping has a very short temper. Putting everything else aside, he was being intimate with his wife at the moment, and this third wheel was really getting in his way. He was staring at the scene. What was he trying to do?

He felt even more repulsed by Tong Xiaonan, finding her presence inconvenient, especially since she was Tong Qian's sister. He couldn't just let her leave, could he? Even if he disliked her, he had to put up with it; he couldn't let his wife get angry. Unless Tong Qian spoke up directly, Ji Xiuping was completely helpless in this matter.

"Wife, today is a special day. I just want to spend some time alone with you." Ji Xiuping sighed helplessly.

"It's happened before, why are you being so dramatic? Come and wash your hands, dinner will be ready soon. Let's have breakfast in a bit."

Ji Xiuping nodded obediently, "Wife, I'll do whatever you say."

Tong Xiaonan watched her brother-in-law's departing figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

No woman can bear to see the man she likes showing affection to another woman, especially in such a sweet and intimate way. Tong Xiaonan felt extremely uncomfortable, and at that moment, all she felt was jealousy.

Although Tong Xiaonan had this thought, she quickly suppressed her jealousy. She couldn't show it in front of her sister, otherwise Tong Qian would definitely overthink it.
