Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2198: Chapter 2192: Encountering Ouyang Ziyu

"Didn’t I mention this before?" Qin Xue thought about the time when Ye Xuan brought the child over last time; she seemed to have mentioned it.

"Mentioned my foot! You know how awkward it makes me feel, right? We came here without bringing anything, which is really impolite. Sis, don’t you know?" Qing Zhu was truly amazed by Qin Xue. If she had known earlier, she would have brought some gifts.

"If it were someone else, I might agree, but for me, it wouldn’t. Didn’t you hear me call him the dad? And you’re Yuran’s mom, do you think something like that would happen among family?" Qin Xue wanted the family not to be too distant, being too formal isn’t good. Ye Xiao doesn’t want that either; she knew and yet why did she do it?

"You’re just arguing without reason." Qing Zhu looked at Qin Xue’s somewhat unreasonable manner and felt like hitting someone. She had never seen anyone so confidently justify something baseless.

"That’s only because you tolerate me; otherwise, how could I possibly argue better than you?" Qin Xue leaned her head on Qing Zhu’s shoulder. A seasoned business expert arguing with someone who often wields surgical tools — if Qing Zhu couldn’t win the argument, she’d be wasting her skills.

"How thick is your skin?" A smile flashed in Qing Zhu’s eyes. At least she had enough decency to acknowledge Qing Zhu was being lenient, otherwise, Qing Zhu would’ve unleashed her words.

"Certainly not as thick as a city wall." Qin Xue didn’t care how Qing Zhu mocked her as long as she herself felt fine.

"I think it’s about right too." Qing Zhu truly didn’t expect someone’s temperament and personality to change so drastically after changing environments. The old Qin Xue didn’t have this much to say; when with them, she’d only occasionally chime in a few words, while Qing Zhu did most of the talking with Qin Xue and Nangong Beiying answering. But here, the roles reversed; Qin Xue spoke mostly while Qing Zhu answered.

"With you shielding me in the front, I’m quite far from getting there." Qin Xue glared at her briefly. Every time, Qing Zhu had to provoke her to feel happy; couldn’t there be an exception?

"You two can argue all you want, just don’t lose your temper." Ouyang Ziyu watched the two increasingly testy exchanges, concerned they might start a real quarrel.

"Ouyang, are you dumb? Why would we get angry over this? We are sisters, you know. Don’t worry, we’re not petty people." Qin Xue looked at Ouyang Ziyu with laughter; it’s because she didn’t understand this kind of bond they had.

"Really not?" Ouyang Ziyu looked at the two with disbelief. Was this sincere or fake? They were just arguing fiercely, yet now everything is calm.

"Of course not. Who are we? No way we’d get upset. Don’t worry, once you become familiar with us, you’ll understand." Qin Xue meant the familiarity found through genuine interactions, not merely knowing someone like Rui. Only through heartfelt connections can more be discovered.

"Alright, I think I get it." Ouyang Ziyu glanced at Qin Xue and Qing Zhu, realizing they indeed weren’t angry, then nodded.

"Ouyang, find time to hang out with us more often. There are many times when we’ll have a lot of fun together, you know?" Qing Zhu pat Ouyang Ziyu’s shoulder, feeling that Ouyang Ziyu was a good girl.

"Sure, I have one day off every week. Can I come hang out with you then?" Ouyang Ziyu asked Qin Xue and Qing Zhu.

"No problem, come by anytime; you’re always welcome." Qin Xue didn’t object, knowing that playing together could strengthen their bond.
