Based on seniority, this is Qin Yize’s aunt, but he still unabashedly reached out like lightning, grabbed Zhou Xia’s coat collar, then let go and said with a smile, "Aunt, don’t get too excited."

Qin Sisi, finally realizing what happened, slapped her daughter’s back and chided unhappily, "You impulsive girl, Qiaoqiao’s situation now is different from in the summer, take it easy."

Then she looked at the relatives in the living room, smiled slightly, and greeted each one.

She then introduced her daughter and son to everyone.

The last time she returned was with her husband, but it was Zhou Xia and Zhou Han’s first time stepping foot on Huaxia Xinguo’s land.

Meeting up with the relatives naturally involved a round of pleasantries. Zhou Xia went around recognizing everyone in the house, circled Gu Qiaoqiao, and then sneaked a look at Qin Yize, who, despite being her nephew, seemed like an older brother. She blinked, feeling somewhat proud; her grandfather’s family truly had good bearing.

She leaned over to Gu Qiaoqiao’s ear and whispered, "Qiaoqiao, how many months now?"

"Not even four months."

"Can you take me out to play?"

"Absolutely no problem."

"That’s fantastic."

"Not only me, others can accompany you too. In a moment, the kids from Second Uncle and Third Uncle’s homes will arrive, and we can all go out together."

"I’m not familiar with them; I wouldn’t know what to say..."

"No worries, I’m not familiar with them either." Gu Qiaoqiao glanced out the window with her clear eyes and chuckled, "Speak of the devil, here they come."

After all, as Old Grand Master Qin’s only daughter returned, the Second and Third branches of the Qin family would naturally come to the courtyard to visit Qin Sisi’s family.

It was the first time the Qin Family’s Courtyard was so lively, and the people gathered in such completeness.

Even Qin Yishan came with his wife, carrying their newborn son to the Qin Family’s Courtyard.

Qin Yishan came today actually to show off in front of Qin Yize. He carried his son to Qin Yize and smugly said, "Big brother, look how handsome my son is."

Qin Yize nodded noncommittally, originally unwilling to respond; what could a one-month-old child look like? But since this was the next generation of the Qin family, he glanced at him, nodded, and softly agreed.

That should’ve sufficed, but Qin Yishan continued to boast, praising everything from the eyebrows to the mouth to the hands and feet, practically grinning ear to ear.

Half was showing off, half was happiness, "Big brother, see how impressive my son is; from now on, he’ll be the big brother to all the younger kids."

Qin Yize, "..."

Really feel like sewing his mouth shut, what to do.

But Qin Yishan was unfazed, cradling his son and began rambling, "My son is truly impressive, he was born to be a big brother, my son..."

"Wah wah wah..."

The little baby seemed to sense the unprecedented deep attention from his father, or perhaps noticed the unfamiliar environment, and started crying loudly.

With good family conditions, pregnant women had sufficient nutrition, thus the child born naturally was healthy. And indeed, this child cried with formidable strength. Perhaps readying herself to become a mother, Gu Qiaoqiao paid extra attention and affection to such children.

Even though she barely knew Qin Yishan and his wife.

Since marrying Qin Yize, she’d only met them a handful of times, let alone that she only saw his wife once during Spring Festival; if memories were poor, they might not even recognize each other if they met on the street.

Qin Yishan’s wife was named Cui Meiqing, and had family working in government departments, naturally a bit haughty. For certain reasons, she disliked Old Grand Master and the others, coming here today against her will, but since everyone gathered, it didn’t seem okay for her to stay home alone.

Her expression was somewhat detached, and upon hearing her son cry, she frowned and, standing beside Qin Yishan, unhappily blamed, "You scared the child, quickly soothe him."

Gu Qiaoqiao’s intent to check on the child instantly dissipated.

Seeing Cui Meiqing’s disdainful gaze and Second Aunt Qin’s hostile look, Gu Qiaoqiao turned away, took a few steps to stand beside Qin Yize, and wore a polite smile.

Since they didn’t want her to approach, she wouldn’t join the excitement. If something happened and it was pinned on her, it would spoil today’s atmosphere. Besides, Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t fathom why Second Aunt Qin regarded her with hostility.

Was it because she was Qin Yize’s wife?

It was truly baffling.

This woman wasn’t kind-hearted.

With malicious intentions, while she couldn’t change her fate in this life, she could respect her from a distance.

Qin Yize quietly stretched out his hand, gently holding his wife’s small hand, discreetly glanced at Qin Yishan, surprised at this guy’s current attitude towards him. This display seemed to have a slight affection like when he used to follow him around as a child.

Did he really understand after getting beaten up?

Grandma Qin timely spoke up, "Ah Shan, take your wife and child to another room; the child is still young and surely not accustomed to seeing so many people all of a sudden."

Cui Meiqing glared at Qin Yishan, who touched his nose, looking at Qin Yize a few steps away, seeming to avoid his expression, "Big brother, I’ll come to talk to you and Uncle Han later."

Uncle Han referred to Zhou Han.

Having said that, he took his wife toward a side room.

Walking as he softly soothed his wife and son, truly seeming like he was content with having children.

Everyone arrived today, seeing the people made Gu Qiaoqiao a bit dizzy. In fact, the Qin family didn’t have many descendants; however, the Qin Family’s Courtyard always had an air of solitude, and adding Qin Sisi’s family, there were more than twenty people.

With so many people in one living room, it didn’t feel crowded, showing how large the living room must be.

Second Uncle of the Qin Family had a calm expression, not displaying any emotion, while the Third Uncle had smooth success in his career path, coupled with family support, so he appeared somewhat spirited, but he concealed it well.

Old Grand Master Qin’s three grandsons accompanied Zhou Luoan in conversation, while others helped Qin Sisi and Zhou Xia arrange their luggage they brought.

Technically, they should rest a day before meeting, but Qin Sisi wanted to see family immediately.

Thus, everyone gathered together.

The large kitchen was already preparing a meal.

Qin Xiaoyu followed closely beside Gu Qiaoqiao, chatting animatedly with Zhou Xia. Her foreign language skills were good, occasionally conversing with Zhou Xia in a foreign language, seemingly enjoying their chat.

Second Uncle’s other two daughters sat on the sofa, forming their own small world. Second Aunt Qin, being astute, promptly sent her daughters over.
