Chapter 1031: If She’s Left Home Alone, There’ll Be Nothing to Eat
Just as I was about to find a seat and sit down, the doorbell rang. I put down what I was holding and walked to the door to open it.
Xu Kun was dressed in casual clothes, and behind him stood a girl in her twenties.
Having heard Qin Yin mention her before, I quickly realized who she was and promptly stepped aside to let them in, "Why are you just arriving now? We’ve been playing for a while."
Xu Kun looked at her and began explaining, "Leaving her alone at home, she’d have nothing to eat. She’s a bit of a lost cause with directions, and wouldn’t find her way back if she went out, so I brought her along."
Ye Xinluo chuckled and replied, "No problem, the more, the merrier. Come in quickly."
After handing them slippers, Xia Yuan walked up to Ye Xinluo and greeted her, "Hello, I’m Xia Yuan, nice to meet you."
"Hello, I’m Ye Xinluo."
She ushered them to the living room to sit and then turned into the kitchen.
Mo Han and Qin Yin were people she knew, so after greeting them, she glanced over at Beichen Rui and Lan Shan.
"Hi there."
Lan Shan returned her smile, "Hi, don’t just stand there, find a seat."
Beichen Rui, who wasn’t much for socializing, also gave a faint smile and said something for a change, "Sit anywhere, don’t stand on ceremony."
Ye Xinluo brought over some fruit and sat on the sofa watching TV with Xia Yuan.
Meanwhile, Xu Kun went to watch them play mahjong, playing for quite a while. Lan Shan couldn’t hold on any longer, so she let Xu Kun take over and went to sit on the sofa to watch TV instead.
The harmonious atmosphere persisted throughout the day. Dinner was prepared jointly by Mo Han and Qin Yin. The little guy came out of the room, drawn by the aroma of the dishes, and sneaked into the kitchen.
"Uncle Mo Han, what delicious food did you prepare? I’m starving now!"
Mo Han handed him a chicken leg, "What have you been doing cooped up inside all day?"
The little guy chuckled, tossed back a "Secret," and then scampered away.
Watching the little guy trot off, Mo Han couldn’t help but smile, "That rascal."
At the dining table, everyone gathered around, and Xia Yuan, who got along well with everyone, quickly became part of the gang.
At Mo Han’s suggestion, Beichen Rui took out a few bottles of liquor, excluding Ye Xinluo and Lan Shan, who were pregnant, and Jingxi.
The others drank a bit...
Since it was quite late, Lan Shan didn’t bother going home and stayed the night.
Beichen Rui arranged for a driver to take them all home.
Opening the door to the apartment, Qin Yin helped Mo Han inside, laid him down on the bed, and pulled over a blanket to cover him.
"Why drink so much? In the end, you’re the one suffering!"
She muttered in dissatisfaction, but Mo Han couldn’t hear what she was saying, frowning as he turned over to sleep.
Pouring a glass of water and placing it on the bedside cabinet, she worried he might vomit at night, so she placed a trash can by the bed and planned to turn off the lamp and leave.
As her hand touched the switch, before she could press it, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. Mo Han opened his drowsy eyes and looked at her.
Suddenly, he sat up in bed.
Startled, she quickly freed her hand and stepped back several steps.
"Qin Yin, why are you here... aren’t you..."
The words stopped abruptly, rubbing his aching head, he suddenly thought of something and stammered, "There’s something I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time... I..."
Qin Yin furrowed her brows, not understanding what he was trying to say...
