Chapter 144: Chapter 144

Shen Qinglan in her past life was used to being overlooked, but in this life, she is always noticed, which makes her nostalgically miss the days when she was ignored.

As soon as she entered, even though she tried her best to hide behind a few people, the people inside the room immediately looked at her.

Everyone was quite curious about the "future daughter-in-law" mentioned by the lady of the house.

Before a few of them arrived, the lady had already sternly warned everyone present not to scare her future daughter-in-law.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Luo Jing automatically ignored everyone else and hurriedly waved at Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan glanced around and found that, except for Luo Jing and Xuan Hua, the rest were unfamiliar faces.

Duan Yunfei whispered by her side.

Shen Qinglan nodded and, under everyone’s watchful gaze, walked towards Luo Jing step by step.

Luo Jing pulled her to sit by her side, then looked at Le Zhao and said, "Xiao Le, feel free to sit anywhere!"

Le Zhao smiled lightly and nodded, already familiar with the people at Yongning Manor.

Duan Yunfei stepped forward and sat down on Shen Qinglan’s other side, then started introducing everyone present to her one by one.

Duan Nian laughed and said, "Qinglan, don’t be so restrained, just treat it as if you were at home!"

Shen Qinglan initially thought that the manor owner would be a very stern person, but unexpectedly, he was quite gentle.

Except for age, Duan Yunfei was almost eighty percent similar to him in appearance, speaking tone, and expression.

Duan Yunxia laughed and said, "I’ve heard mother talk about you all the time, and now I finally get to see you in person!"

Perhaps due to being a new mother, Duan Yunxia’s entire demeanor exuded a gentle aura.

Compared with Duan Yunfei, who almost resembled their father, Duan Yunxia took after their mother in looks and their father in personality.

Sitting beside her, Feng Wuya smiled gently and served her a bowl of soup.

From these small details, one could see that Feng Wuya truly cared for her.

After Shen Qinglan greeted everyone and nodded one by one, she reached out to take the chicken soup Duan Yunfei handed over.

Duan Yunfei whispered, "You’re too thin, eat more."

Shen Qinglan glanced at him and said nothing.

The meal concluded under everyone’s curious or reassuring gaze.

Duan Yunxia left early to tend to her child, and once she left, Feng Wuya naturally didn’t stay much longer either. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveIꜰire.net

Luo Jing smiled warmly when she saw the Jade Order tied around Shen Qinglan’s waist.

Duan Yunfei had already been taken to the adjacent room by Duan Nian and Xuan Hua, and Le Zhao, along with the Xuan Family brothers, naturally followed.

For a moment, only Luo Jing, Madame Xuan, and Shen Qinglan were left in the room, aside from the little maid who was still tidying up.

"I heard from old Tang that Duan Yunfei gave you the Ice Silkworm Skirt?" Luo Jing asked with a smile.

Speaking of the Ice Silkworm Skirt, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, feeling like she had fallen into Duan Yunfei’s trap.

She hesitated and nodded, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Luo Jing chuckled internally, thinking that her son was truly clever, already taking initiative upon encountering a girl he likes.

Previously, watching him make the Yi Family girl cry at the manor, she thought he would end up alone for the rest of his life.

It turned out not to be that her son didn’t understand how to cherish one’s beloved, but rather that this Yi Family girl wasn’t the one he truly admired.

Look at how her son treated his future daughter-in-law during dinner – it was even better than how his father treated her back in the day.

"Duan Yunfei, except that his mouth is a bit sharp and his temper isn’t great, is actually quite good!" Luo Jing said, "If he ever mistreats you in the future, you can just tell mom... uh... auntie. Auntie will have your uncle deal with him!"
