Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Novel - Chapter 188

188 Uncle Is So Handsome

Xiaoguo felt terrible when she heard this. Qin Anming’s words were like a heavy hammer hitting her heart. It hurt so much that she couldn’t breathe.

In fact, Qin Anming had never thought about what would happen to Xiaoguo and the others if he died. However, when he fell into the water and looked at the dark river bed, his ears suddenly went deaf. At first, he couldn’t hear anything. Then, he could only hear an erratic and ear-piercing heartbeat. It was so loud that it made him feel uneasy.

For a moment, no one spoke. Talking about life and death was serious stuff. No one could leave this earth alive. So everyone should make the most of each day while they are still alive and live without regrets.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. You haven’t told me what happened to Danhe.”

!!
Qin Anming composed himself and went on to ask Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo composed herself and turned around to tell him everything.

–

“I see.”

As Qin Anming listened to the twists and turns, he was extremely shocked. However, the first thing he thought of was, things must have been hard for Jiang Danhe to come this far. He must have suffered a lot.

Xiaoguo was puzzled by Qin Anming’s sigh. “What’s wrong?”

Qin Anming shook his head. “It’s really not easy for Danhe to reach this position all by himself. It’s really admirable.”

Perhaps it was due to the mutual understanding between men, Qin Anming immediately understood why Jiang Danhe had decided to give up his power and money to return to the countryside.

“Xiaoguo, you must cherish Jiang Danhe.” Qin Anming looked at Xiaoguo seriously and said to her, “This man is someone you can rely on for the rest of your life.”

“… Yeah.”

Xiaoguo nodded in a daze. At this moment, her mind was thinking about something else. If it weren’t for her identity, she really would be a strong supporter of this couple.

“Xiaoguo? Xiaoguo?”

Qin Anming shook Xiaoguo’s shoulder helplessly. He didn’t know what was wrong with her. She looked so distracted.

“Sigh, sigh, sigh.”

Xiaoguo came back to her senses and tried to get away from Qin Anming. “He’s sick and yet his grip is so strong. He’s totally killing me.”

Looking at Xiaoguo pouting unhappily and rubbing her shoulders, Qin Anming sighed. “She’s still behaving like a child. Even though she has become a mother, she still looked like she had not grown up.”

“Oh right! Brother!” Xiaoguo called out to Qin Anming and ran back to her room.

Qin Anming was stunned. Where did she go all of a sudden?

At the thought of giving Qin Anming his gift, Xiaoguo couldn’t help but feel happy. Although Jiang Danhe was paying for it, it was still considered a gift from her.

Zhuang Zhuang was sitting at the table with Yang Jia, reading a book. When he saw Xiaoguo, he greeted her. Xiaoguo sighed and floated past the two of them without looking back at them.

They looked and shrugged at each other, then they went back to their reading.

Xiaoguo returned to the house and rummaged through her bag. She took out one heavy bundle and headed back to Qin Anming’s room.

She passed by Zhuang Zhuang and Yang Jia again, but this time, her footsteps were much heavier than before.

“Brother, look!”

Xiaoguo put the bundle on the bed. She hadn’t had time to give it to him when she got back that morning. Now that he was awake, she couldn’t wait to show him the gift.

Qin Anming opened the bag curiously, wondering what it was. It felt so thick.

As soon as he opened it, the thickness felt completely different.

Xiaoguo helped Qin Anming spread out the garment.

“Wow!” Qin Anming couldn’t help but exclaim. “Leather?!”

This was good stuff. With this coat in the winter, one wouldn’t feel cold even if they were naked.

Qin Anming hugged it lovingly in his arms, feeling the thickness of the leather. With this, winter would be much warmer.

“How is it?”

Xiaoguo was asking the obvious. She could tell from Qin Anming’s expression that he liked it a lot but she still had to ask.

That’s how gift-giving works. Even though she knew that the other party liked it, she still couldn’t help but ask again to derive satisfaction from it.

Qin Anming nodded vigorously, his tone was filled with fondness for the gift. “I like it so much!”

He had never seen anyone wear this before, but he had heard that rich people in big cities always wore leather to keep themselves warm in winter.

“I’ve only heard about it in the past, but I’ve never seen it before. Now, thanks to my sister, I’m actually wearing leather.”

Qin Anming was overjoyed. He looked at Xiaoguo and laughed.

Xiaoguo was also happy. She told Qin Anming to try it out first. If it didn’t fit him, she would alter it. After saying that, she saw her brother nod and left.

Outside the room, Yang Jia was getting ready to leave with two books in his hands. When he saw Xiaoguo, he stood up and said goodbye.

“Brother Jia was waiting for you. He said that he couldn’t leave without informing you. I told him that I knew he was leaving. In the end, do you know what he said, Mother?”

After Zhuang Zhuang sent Yang Jia off, he skipped over to Xiaoguo and asked, trying to make her guess.

“I don’t know.”

Xiaoguo shook her head in response to Zhuang Zhuang’s words.

Zhuang Zhuang chuckled. He knew that his mother wouldn’t be able to guess it. “Brother Jia said that he wants to say goodbye to the house owner. It’s not polite to leave the house without bidding farewell.”

Xiaoguo was amused by his imitation of Yang Jia. This kid was quite good at imitating. He did sound like Yang Jia when he spoke.

“Mother, do you think Brother Jia is the old master that Xiaoyi always talked about?”

Zhuang Zhuang knelt on a stool and asked Xiaoguo curiously with his face resting on his hands.

“Huh? Why do you say that?” Xiaoguo tilted her head and looked at Zhuang Zhuang curiously.

“Because, when Xiaoyi and I followed the way his old master talked, we also talked like this… umm, like this…”

Zhuang Zhuang had forgotten that word and was racking his brain for an answer. Xiaoguo thought for a moment and said, “Old-fashioned?”

Yang Jia was young, but he spoke like an old gentleman.

“Yes, yes, yes! Old-fashioned!”

Zhuang Zhuang clapped his hands and nodded in confirmation.

Xiaoguo also felt that it was quite appropriate. He was indeed old-fashioned. She could not help but laugh.

Zhuang Zhuang laughed along when he saw Xiaoguo laugh.

“What are you laughing at?”

Qin Anming appeared from his room. While changing in his room earlier, he heard the two of them laughing.

Zhuang Zhuang and Xiaoguo looked up at the same time.

“Wow! Uncle!”

Zhuang Zhuang’s eyes lit up. He felt that his uncle was so handsome!

“Cough, cough.”

Qin Anming placed his fist by his mouth and coughed lightly. He was a little embarrassed by Zhuang Zhuang’s stare.

“How is it?”

Qin Anming asked Xiaoguo. Xiaoguo came back to her senses and didn’t say anything. She got up and pushed open the door to her room. “Brother, go look in the mirror.”

Qin Anming was stunned. “What kind of response is this? Does it mean that I am looking good?”

That’s right. He didn’t think that he would look bad. Based on the style of the coat and from Zhuang Zhuang’s response earlier, Qin Anming was confident about how he looked.

Looking in the mirror was no big deal. He was quite sure that he would look good.

Qin Anming walked over confidently. Although his footsteps were a little slow because of his health, he was filled with confidence.

Zhuang Zhuang couldn’t stand it anymore. He followed Qin Anming into the room to look at him in the mirror.

Xiaoguo looked at the energetic Qin Anming and chuckled. It seemed that women were not the only ones who were vain. Men were the same.

After dinner, Xiaoguo handed the medicine to Zhuang Zhuang. “Take this to Uncle. Be careful not to spill it on yourself.”

“Yes, yes.”

Zhuang Zhuang carefully took the bowl and looked at the black medicinal soup. He exclaimed in disgust, “It looks so bitter.”

“Then can you give Uncle a piece of candy?”

Xiaoguo asked tentatively. Before they returned, Jiang Danhe had bought a lot of candies for Zhuang Zhuang. Whenever she asked him for the candies, he always refused. It was a good opportunity for him to take some out now. In that way, he wouldn’t be eating the candies all by himself. It would lower his chances of getting tooth decay.

“I’ll go get it now.”

When Zhuang Zhuang heard this, he remembered that he had those candies.

“Go on.”

Zhuang Zhuang nodded happily and walked into the house with the medicine.

Xiaoguo narrowed her eyes as she watched the little figure leave. “Haha, you’re still so young and gullible.”
