My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 513: Chapter 512: Miss Tan Insisted on Matchmaking

At the dining table of the Yin family, Qin Keqin seemed very enthusiastic.

“But it’s good to be older, older children know how to show compassion.”

“I’ve doted on Luo Xiaolang a lot, but I don’t see him being very compassionate.” Yin Qin retorted.

“That’s because you’re foolish!” Qin Keqin affirmed with certainty.

Yin Qin rolled his eyes, displaying an expression that suggested he was too lazy to argue with his mother.

Qin Keqin ignored her son; she felt that talking more with Yin Qin would just cause her blood pressure to rise.

She steadied herself, and with a spring-breeze-warm demeanor, she asked Joe, “Has your family been pushing you to marry?”

“They used to a few years ago, but not anymore.” Joe replied honestly.

They’ve nagged him too much about it already.

Qin Keqin hurriedly commented, “Actually, you must understand that your parents have your best interests at heart. There is an old saying, ‘establish a family and then a career’. Nowadays, people have reversed this. ”

“Auntie is definitely right. I regret that I’m still living alone,” confessed Joe.

“What’s there to regret? Would I treat you this well if you weren’t alone?” Qin Keqin laughed brightly.

She was wearing the expression of a mother very fond of her prospective son-in-law.

Joe was feeling unsettled under Qin Keqin’s gaze.

A few times Yin Qin wanted to speak up against his mother, and a few times he held back.

At the dinner table, Ji Baixin could clearly sense what Qin Keqin was up to – she was matchmaking for Luo Xiaolang.

Looking at this, Qin Keqin’s affection for Luo Xiaolang seemed genuine.

Logically, they shouldn’t have much to do with each other anymore, with their only connection being the child they shared. Evidently, she had underestimated Luo Xiaolang’s standing in Qin Keqin’s heart. The mother-in-law matchmaking for her ex-daughter-in-law? Ji Baixin felt slightly uncomfortable.

Qin Keqin hardly gave her a glance throughout the dinner, constantly attending to Luo Xiaolang.

Affirmative overtures she thought would lead to reconciliation with Yin Qin’s parents, combined with a little kindness on her part, should have sufficed for them to accept her considering she’s Yin Qin’s wife. However, what she had not anticipated was Qin Keqin’s strong affection for Luo Xiaolang.

She glanced at Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang was quietly eating, not interrupting the conversation between Qin Keqin and Joe.

Ji Baixin frowned.

She really had no clue what was going on in Luo Xiaolang’s mind.

She couldn’t guess her thoughts.

Why would so many people see Luo Xiaolang as pure, and why would so many people defend her?

Luo Xiaolang noticed Ji Baixin’s gaze and glanced back at her.

Everyone knew Luo Xiaolang’s silence was because she didn’t quite understand these matters. She didn’t understand why Qin Keqin and Joe were so enthusiastic, and even if she had a faint idea, she wasn’t a person who liked to join in the hustle-bustle, even if she was the focus of it.

The meal wasn’t exactly enjoyable.

After dinner, Qin Keqin adamantly asked Luo Xiaolang and Joe to stay a little longer, and asked them to have some fruits before leaving.

Yin Qin, in fact, wanted to leave earlier.

Ji Baixin showed no intentions of leaving.

Seeing Luo Xiaolang, Joe, and his parents sitting together, he had the illusion that they were a family.

So, he decided to stay back silently without leaving.

Qin Keqin kept offering fruits to Joe.

Joe started feeling a little embarrassed, “Thank you, Auntie, I can do it myself.”

“Spend more time with Xiaolang at home.” Qin Keqin kept repeating this.

Joe nodded, “Sure, whenever Xiaolang has time, I will bring her over.”

At this moment, little tiger started to become a bit fussy.

Everyone’s attention fell on little tiger.

Luo Xiaolang immediately said, “The little tiger must be hungry, I will go prepare some milk for him.”

Saying this, she got up and went to the other side with the maid.

Joe was pulled by Qin Keqin to continue their chat.

Yin Qin’s gaze followed Luo Xiaolang.

Slowly, he got up and walked over.

Ji Baixin looked at Yin Qin’s retreating back.

She had been trying to be magnanimous and accept everything about Yin Qin, knowing how much he had done for her. Today, she had been adjusting her mood, trying to change her selfish ways, but the moment she saw Yin Qin walking towards Luo Xiaolang, she couldn’t help but feel upset.

But it was okay.

After everything that happened today, she had become more indifferent, and had learned to let go of many things.

Yin Qin watched as Luo Xiaolang prepared the milk powder, and as she had a maid hand the baby to her.

Yin Qin suddenly asked, “Can I feed the baby?”

Luo Xiaolang hesitated.

She actually wanted to refuse, she didn’t want Yin Qin to come near her. However, he was little tiger’s father, she couldn’t stop little tiger from recognizing him forever.

Consolingly, she was genuinely grateful to Qin Keqin, and Yin Qin was indeed Qin Keqin’s son.

She nodded in consent.

At that moment, Yin Qin was overjoyed, he had really thought Luo Xiaolang would refuse, that she would definitely refuse.

He quickly reached out to hold the baby.

At the moment, little tiger was in a period of hunger and irritability, continuously whining and making noise.

The moment Yin Qin took little tiger.

What had previously been soft whimpering, suddenly became a heart-rending cry.

This shriek startled everyone else.

Qin Keqin stood up from the sofa and quickly rushed over.

Yin Bin was scared to death by Qin Keqin for the third time that day.

He quickly held onto her hand, fearing she would stumble and fall in her haste.

“What happened to the little tiger?” Qin Keqin asked anxiously.

Everyone else came over as well.

At this moment, Yin Qin, looking puzzled, was still holding a crying little tiger, “I didn’t do anything, as soon as I held him he started crying.”

As he spoke, he continued to soothe the baby.

The baby cried louder with each attempt to comfort him.

Qin Keqin sternly scolded her son, “Let go of him! If little tiger doesn’t like you, why are you holding him! Give him back to Xiaolang.”

The words “little tiger doesn’t like you” really hit Yin Qin hard.

The little tiger used to like him a lot, he often made the little tiger laugh.

When he was a baby nurse, the doctor recommended to make the little tiger laugh as much as possible. He was the first one to make the little tiger laugh out loud, and he felt a sense of achievement at that time.

“Hand him to me.” Luo Xiaolang reached out.

You could tell that the little tiger was resistant to Yin Qin.

When the little tiger needed to be put to sleep, it was the same when Aunt Wu held him, his body kept twisting to one side, looking like he didn’t want anyone else to hold him.

Yin Qin was somewhat reluctant.

“Give him to me, the doctor said he’s at the stage of recognizing people now, and he doesn’t like strangers holding him.” Luo Xiaolang explained.

What’s this about “strangers”?

Is he a stranger?

He’s the little tiger’s dad.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t want to waste time arguing with Yin Qin, so he just took the little tiger.

Yin Qin watched the little tiger with a sense of loss.

Luo Xiaolang soothed the little tiger a bit.

The little tiger was clinging tightly to his mother’s neck, as if he was afraid of being abandoned. At this moment, his crying had noticeably decreased, leaving only a few sniffles.

So, it seemed that the little tiger really didn’t want him to hold him anymore.

He just watched, watched straight on.

After Luo Xiaolang had soothed the little tiger for a while, and the little tiger had calmed down a bit, he sat down to feed the little tiger.

The little tiger was sucking on his pacifier, drinking formula, and the whole world seemed quiet in an instant.

Qin Keqin also breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Yin Qin a cold look, “Don’t hold the little tiger if you have nothing to do.”

Yin Qin felt uncomfortable in his heart.

When the others saw that the little tiger was quietly feeding, they returned to the living room couch.

Only Yin Qin stood by, watching Luo Xiaolang feed the little tiger on the other side of the living room.

Yin Qin was really uncomfortable in his heart.

He never imagined that he would be rejected by the little tiger one day and that the little tiger would treat him like a stranger.

In fact, the little tiger didn’t sleep for long at the Yin’s house today. Maybe because there were many people at home and many people were playing with him, so he didn’t sleep enough. Now as he was feeding, he was about to fall asleep, but there was still a lot left in the bottle.

Yin Qin quickly went up and touched the little tiger’s soft cheek with his finger.

The little tiger, feeling the urge from the outside, started sucking again.

Back in the day, the little tiger, being premature, had a small appetite. The doctor asked them to try to get the little tiger to eat more. If he fell asleep after a few bites, this method could help him eat a few more. Back then, back then, he hadn’t clashed with Xiaolang like this.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t reject Yin Qin’s actions.

Even though she really didn’t want Yin Qin to accompany her and the little tiger, but she had to admit that the little tiger was really tired. If she didn’t stimulate him to keep him awake, he would really fall asleep without finishing his meal.

The two of them just sat there, both eyes on the little tiger.

Ji Baixing got up from the couch and walked over again.

Because Yin Qin had been here the whole time, she was inevitably upset.

She walked over, just to see the look in Yin Qin’s eyes as he looked at the little tiger, unhidden, a look of fatherly love.

In Ji Baixing’s eyes, Yin Qin was always the kind of boy who never grew up. Even though Yin Qin always said that he was the father of the little tiger, she still couldn’t imagine Yin Qin being a father. Now, she saw, she saw the fullness of fatherly love.

She now couldn’t be a mother, she was really regretful and devastated, but on second thoughts, there was no need to have a child in one’s life. She and Yin Qin could be happier without a third party’s interference. But now she started to regret her previous thoughts.

Yin Qin likes children.

He really does.

She walked over and Yin Qin didn’t even notice her. His entire focus was on the little tiger, without a single shift, until the little tiger finished eating.

Once the little tiger finished, he fell asleep.

Luo Xiaolang held up the little tiger, who was now asleep, and was still burping him, otherwise, he would easily spit up milk.

The little tiger really would often spit up milk, the doctor said it was because he was premature, and his digestive system was not well developed, so he would often regurgitate milk, but as long as he didn’t choke, it was not an issue.

The little tiger had once really tested them.

In a blink of an eye, the little tiger had reached six months.

Although some of his gross motor development was indeed slightly later than average infants, the doctor said that it was already good for the little tiger to recover to his present state. And he should get better and better as he grows up, no different from normal children.

Luo Xiaolang picked up the little tiger.

Yin Qin also stood up from the ground.

At that moment, he saw Ji Baixing standing next to him.

He thought Ji Baixing might be angry.

Ji Baixing has always disliked him making contact with Luo Xiaolang.

However, at that moment, he saw Ji Baixing give him a smile, seeming to understand.

Yin Qin also smiled back at Ji Baixing.

It seemed, Ji Baixing had truly opened up her heart.

As Luo Xiaolang was burping the little tiger, at that moment, she casually watched the interaction between Yin Qin and Ji Baixing

She didn’t really have any feelings about it inside.

She wanted to leave with the little tiger in her arms.

Suddenly, Yin Qin blocked Luo Xiaolang, “Now that he’s asleep, can I hold him?”

“We’re preparing to leave.” Luo Xiaolang refused.

Yin Qin felt somewhat let down.

Luo Xiaolang really had no feelings for Yin Qin at this point, so she didn’t feel Yin Qin’s emotions in the slightest.

She turned to leave.

Joe also came over from there. Upon hearing that Luo Xiaolang was leaving, he quickly said, “Let me hold the little tiger. I had a little bit to drink during dinner, I can’t drink and drive.”

“Mm.” Luo Xiaolang passed the little tiger to Joe.

Just like that, she casually handed the little tiger to another man.

Yin Qin’s eyes widened in shock.

At that moment, Qin Keqin also came over. Seeing Joe holding the little tiger with a look of excitement on his face, she asked, “The little tiger doesn’t reject you, does he?”

“Not at all. Because I have a nephew at home, I used to take care of my nephew when I went home, so I get along well with children.” Joe replied.

“Handsome, tall, rich, no messy relationships, and even so loving towards children …” Qin Keqin murmured, her eyes could definitely shine stars at this moment.

If he could really be with Xiaolang, that would be great.

She could tell at a glance that Joe definitely had feelings for Luo Xiaolang.
