Chapter 1878: Chapter 1876: Someone Like Qin Yize

"Qiaoqiao, you’re truly great." Qin Yize said sincerely.

"Why am I truly great?" Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow slightly surprised.

"You’re naturally great, clever and generous."

"I’m clever and generous depending on who it is. I really don’t care about Choo Lan. If you have anything with her, it’s not my business, right?" Gu Qiaoqiao said with a half-smile.

Qin Yize turned his head slightly, kissed his wife’s cheek, and said contentedly, "My wife is not only clever and generous, but also has the keen eye to recognize talent."

"You’re so conceited. You’re talented, huh? At that time, I just thought you had a good-looking face. I didn’t even know what you did. To me, you were just Qin Yize. I never considered your family background, education, or work."

Gu Qiaoqiao reminisced and commented with slight amusement.

Qin Yize leaned in, his starry eyes glimmering with gentle light, and softly asked, "Wife, does this face still look good to you now?"

Gu Qiaoqiao seriously looked at him for a moment. This face, it’s impossible to say it doesn’t look good.

"Good-looking, very good-looking, a face that attracts admirers. You see, isn’t Choo Lan coming for you because of this?"

This was indeed true; if not for Qin Yize, it was for the Qin Group behind him.

Qin Yize glanced towards the door, his lips showing a hint of coldness, and said lightly, "She won’t succeed."

Gu Qiaoqiao admonished seriously, "You still need to be careful. Sometimes people go mad and disregard everything."

Qin Yize deeply agreed; sometimes, never underestimate a crazy woman—her destructiveness and explosiveness are astonishing.

He hoped Choo Lan would put away thoughts she shouldn’t have, peacefully remain as the daughter of his mother’s friend, coexist without issues; this would be the best. Otherwise, he wouldn’t hold back.

At this time, Choo Lan was helping Shen Manru with the vegetables and spoke softly, "Aunt Shen, in your spare time, you should travel. My mom says you still have to watch the kids during weekends and holidays, which is tiring. It’s not like the family can’t afford it, you can hire a nanny; many people are doing that now."

Shen Manru frowned slightly, paused her movements, but still smiled, "Choo Lan, you don’t know, I do this willingly."

"I understand how you feel. After all, it’s your own grandchildren, you’ll certainly care and won’t trust a nanny. But haven’t you already raised Ah Ze and Xiao Yu with great difficulty, caring for the next generation, isn’t your entire life spent on these kids? Auntie, you’re still so young, well-educated—it’s great to just go out, explore, and have fun..."

After saying this, Choo Lan seemed to realize she’d said too much. She stuck out her tongue playfully, "Oh, Aunt Shen, I accidentally spoke words I usually say to my mom. She’s like that too, but my sister-in-law has already hired a nanny. My mom just plays with the kids occasionally; otherwise, the nanny takes care of them."

Shen Manru thought for a moment; her old classmate was indeed like that. Her granddaughter was taken care of by a nanny, and she bought food and clothes for her during free time.

But, they aren’t fish, don’t know the fish’s joy; moreover, they’re outsiders, how could they know the inside story? Honestly, what they’ve done is still less than what White Wolf and Xiao Bai did.

Besides, she wouldn’t trust a nanny with her two little treasures.

Her grandchildren are unique in the world, smart and beautiful, both little geniuses in her view. Even if Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao agreed, she wouldn’t consent to handing them over to a nanny.

Not to mention those two little ones are so adorable. When they first learned to speak, their calls of "grandma, grandma" were so sweet.

The call melts your heart.

But these feelings are hers and her grandchildren’s; there’s no need to describe them to outsiders, especially since she’s not too familiar with Choo Lan yet.

However, her expression was a bit indifferent, thinking about it over and over, she finally said, "You’re not married yet; once you are, you’ll know. Unless absolutely necessary, parents won’t carelessly entrust their child to a nanny. Besides, in the growth of a child, they can’t do without parental companionship. You should know this better than me; I heard you studied child psychology."

Choo Lan’s expression turned slightly unnatural; she quickly said, "Yes, I’m not married yet, so I speak more casually. Auntie, please don’t mind. My mom often says I sometimes speak without thinking, like a child despite being almost in my twenties."

Shen Manru paused silently, quietly glanced at Choo Lan.

Thinking, indeed, immature, compared to her daughter-in-law, there’s quite a gap—can’t compete in mind or in actions.

At least one point: although she’s classmates with Choo Lan’s mother, she is not very familiar with Choo Lan; today is only their second meeting, and some things are truly inappropriate to say.

Recalling a classmate’s advice, she knew Choo Lan spent little time at home in her youth and her old classmate was extremely concerned about her, worrying most about her. Thinking this way, her expression softened, and she smiled, "Choo Lan, it’s okay to say whatever you want in front of Auntie."

"...Thank you, Auntie, you’re all so kind."

Shen Manru glanced at Choo Lan.

Remembering her old classmate’s advice, she tentatively asked, "Choo Lan, your mom told me about your situation, but I know young people don’t like us parents interfering in their private affairs. But, Auntie can ask about who you like. I’ll see if there’s anyone suitable in my circle. If it works out, great; if not, it’s no big deal."

Choo Lan knew her mom would certainly ask Aunt Shen for such favors; after all, Shen Manru had many friends in the Imperial Capital circle and knew many young people, with plenty of excellent ones—such requests were only natural.

Moreover, her mom called and told her to maintain a good relationship with Aunt Shen; she could help her find the right match. Although the Choo Family was large and successful, they couldn’t quite compare with the Qin Family.

These she didn’t care about.

She only had one person in her heart—the one and only person. Past, present, future, only this one.

With this person in her heart, no matter how good other cats and dogs might be, she’d never set her eyes on them.

But since Shen Manru asked, she could speak half-truths and half-lies. So, she smiled sweetly, "Aunt Shen, may I tell you my requirements?"

Shen Manru’s eyes lit up and she nodded eagerly, "Of course, you should have requirements. You’re so pretty, have a good education, and come from a great family—you definitely should find someone great."

"Aunt Shen, my requirement is someone like Qin Yize."
