Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Greasy

Mentioning Zhang Guilan, her spirits lifted, "If you like the taste, eat more. This was made by my sister-in-law, and we often eat it at home."

"Made by sister-in-law?" Qin Juan looked towards Lin Chuxia.

Zhang Guilan’s voice was quite loud, and Zhang Wenbin also looked over.

"Our sister-in-law also has such skills. No wonder Qin Yang, you lucky guy, I was wondering which deli made this tasty food, not realizing it was made at home."

Seeing Lin Chuxia sipping champagne, Zhang Wenbin raised his glass, "Here, I’ll drink one with sister-in-law. Brother-in-law has already downed his, feel free."

Beside them, Qin Yang frowned slightly, and Lin Chuxia also paused for a moment.

For Zhang Wenbin, who was meeting Lin Chuxia for the first time as a brother-in-law, this gesture was somewhat inappropriate.

Yet, holding his glass, he seemed unaware of the impropriety, and it would be rude for Lin Chuxia to not give him face.

After a moment, she still raised her glass, "Meeting brother-in-law for the first time, and it’s the start of the New Year, let’s drink together."

With this stepping stone, everyone picked up their glasses and took a sip.

Zhang Wenbin actually drained his glass in one go, showed the empty glass to Lin Chuxia, and slightly raised an eyebrow with a smug expression.

Lin Chuxia acted as if she did not see it.

Zhang Guilan was already picking up a soda to refill for Qin Juan, while Lin Chuxia also picked up the champagne bottle, topping up for Zhang Guilan and then herself.

Then, Zhang Wenbin spoke again, "I see sister-in-law can hold her liquor, why not have a shot of white liquor..."

"Wenbin," Qin Juan interrupted him, "You’re drunk, stop talking nonsense. How can she drink hard liquor?"

"Who’s drunk? I can judge better than you, she..."

"Brother-in-law, Chuxia doesn’t drink," Qin Yang sternly interrupted him.

Zhang Wenbin glanced at Qin Yang, then chuckled, "I was just joking with sister-in-law, didn’t mean to scare you guys."

Lin Chuxia finally understood her initial feeling when she first saw Zhang Wenbin; although he was dressed decently, something about him was not quite appealing.

Now she understood; despite Zhang Wenbin’s outward refined appearance, he actually seemed somewhat sleazy.

Fortunately, the episode passed quickly, and the meal went smoothly.

Under the attentive care of Mrs. Qin, Qin Juan and Little Ningning ate quite a lot.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while, and Zhang Wenbin suggested going home.

They had come by public bus; the bus from the city to Ancheng County only ran twice a day, and they would miss it if they were late.

Mrs. Qin still wanted to keep Qin Juan and Ningning at home for a few days.

Ningning, now familiar with the Qin Family, looked at Qin Juan eagerly when grandma suggested they stay for a few more days.

Qin Juan pursed her lips and before saying anything, Zhang Wenbin quickly said, "They won’t bother you here, mother-in-law. Besides, I wouldn’t feel at ease if they went back by themselves."

"Staying at one’s own house is hardly bothering anyone," Qin Han disagreed, "Let them stay. When they’ve had enough, I’ll take them back."

"No need to trouble my big brother," Zhang Wenbin said, turning to look at Qin Juan, "Right, wife? With spring coming, they should be starting to plant vegetable seedlings, right? They’re all busy people; we shouldn’t interrupt their lives."

Qin Han wanted to say more, but Qin Juan spoke, "Mom, big brother, I won’t stay. There are many relatives at home for the Spring Festival; it’s better if we go back. I’ll visit you after a while."

With that said, it was hard for Mrs. Qin to insist, "Then come after a while, and bring Ningning with you."

"I will, Mom."

"I’ll take them to the bus station."

They had a handcart at home, and Qin Han went to push the cart.
