"Yun Ting, she's your girlfriend."
Seeing Su Ke'er's sweet, cute, and lively smile, Wan Manyu was instantly charmed. She had received a call from Wan Yun Ting earlier, and he had said he was bringing his girlfriend over for dinner.
"Come, come, give me the things..."
Wan Manyu hurried to take the items Su Ke'er was carrying. The girl was not shy, and happily handed over the things in her right hand. "Sister, you are so beautiful and elegant."
"Not at all, you're the pretty one."
Wan Manyu smiled and said, "Come in quickly."
"Okay."
Su Ke'er and Wan Yun Ting followed her inside. Wan Manyu called out to her daughter in the living room, "Wan'er, your third uncle is here, and he's brought your auntie!"
"Wow, Peppa Pig..."
When Cheng Wan'er came out, she saw the giant Peppa Pig in Wan Yun Ting's arms and excitedly clapped her hands. Su Ke'er, upon seeing the adorable Wan'er, exclaimed, "Wow, sister, she's your daughter? What's her name?"
"Yes, her name is Wan'er."
Wan Manyu placed the items on the coffee table in the living room and turned back with a smile.
"Third Uncle..."
Wan'er, hugging the super-large Peppa Pig given by Wan Yun Ting, found she couldn't lift it. She placed it on the carpet. Wan'er's big, watery eyes looked curiously at Su Ke'er and asked in a milky voice, "Who is this sister?"
"I'm your third auntie."
Su Ke'er squatted down and couldn't resist pinching Wan'er's soft, rosy cheeks. She turned to Wan Yun Ting excitedly and said, "Her cheeks are so soft, so nice to touch!"
This made Wan Yun Ting chuckle. Wan Manyu also couldn't help but laugh and shot her third brother a look. "Ke'er, you and Yun Ting stay in the living room and play with Wan'er. I'll start cooking, and dinner will be ready soon."
"Okay, sis. Go ahead."
Wan Yun Ting naturally sat on the sofa. Su Ke'er immediately stood up. "Sister, I'll help you in the kitchen."
"Okay."
Wan Manyu didn't refuse. It was a good opportunity to ask about Su Ke'er's situation...
Thus, the two of them were in the kitchen, with laughter occasionally drifting out. In the living room, Wan Yun Ting naturally played with Wan'er, amusing the little darling with the various toys he had bought.
"Wan'er, did Uncle Hou come to see you last night?" Wan Yun Ting asked her softly, holding Wan'er in his arms.
"Yes."
Wan'er nodded her little head and said, "Uncle Hou came very late last night, but Wan'er was already asleep. But I saw Uncle Hou this morning."
Wan Yun Ting's eyes narrowed, confirming his suspicion. Hou Bing had sneakily climbed over the wall into the villa community last night, and it turned out he was looking for his elder sister. This explained everything!
"Dinner's ready."
At this moment, Wan Manyu called out. Wan Yun Ting snapped back to reality, picked up Wan'er, and said, "Let's go, time for dinner..."
Su Ke'er came out with a plate of dark, unidentifiable food. Wan Yun Ting stared, dumbfounded. "Don't tell me you cooked this?"
"How is it? Impressive, right?"
Su Ke'er pouted proudly and confidently.
"Impressive, impressive..." Wan Yun Ting said with a perfunctory smile.
"These are Ke'er's cola chicken wings,"
Wan Manyu brought out another plate, perfectly cooked cola chicken wings, placing them in front of Wan'er because the girl loved them.
"Without comparison, there is no harm."
Wan Yun Ting looked at the two plates, the cola chicken wings worlds apart. Su Ke'er immediately picked up a piece of her masterpiece and put it in his bowl. "Try it and see. Sister taught me, and this is my first time cooking."
Looking at the dark chicken wings in his bowl, Wan Yun Ting looked up at his elder sister sitting opposite him and gave a wry smile. "It seems your teacher wasn't up to par."
"What are you saying? Ke'er, make him eat that whole plate."
Wan Manyu shot him a glare and deliberately pushed Ke'er's plate of chicken wings in front of him, unable to help but laugh.
It was clearly a prank by the two of them.
"Alright, I'll eat it..."
Wan Yun Ting smiled. After all, it was Ke'er's first time, and he had to save face. So, he took a bite with tears in his eyes. The taste of the cola chicken wings was simply indescribable. Seeing his contorted, pained expression made Wan Manyu and Su Ke'er chuckle secretly.
The dinner was very pleasant, and Wan Manyu was clearly very happy, completely unaware that Wan Yun Ting had come with a hidden agenda that night.
After dinner, Su Ke'er fed Wan'er, while Wan Manyu tidied up in the kitchen. Wan Yun Ting appeared relaxed, holding an apple, and walked to the kitchen door. He leaned against the frame, eating the apple and watching his elder sister wash dishes. Wan Manyu naturally noticed him behind her and smiled, "Why aren't you with Ke'er?"
"She's feeding Wan'er."
Wan Yun Ting smiled and asked, "It seems you accept Ke'er, sis."
"Of course."
Wan Manyu turned and glanced at him, smiling. "Ke'er has such a good personality, and she complements you perfectly. I think you two are great together, so you have to treat her well."
"Don't worry."
Wan Yun Ting smiled, then changed the subject. "By the way, the police have new leads on Cheng Kai's disappearance!"
*Crash...*
As soon as he said this, the plate in Wan Manyu's hand dropped and shattered on the floor. Wan Yun Ting rushed in, "Sis, are you alright..."
Wan Manyu's face turned pale. She quickly shook her head and crouched down to pick up the pieces. Wan Yun Ting quickly stopped her. "Don't move, I'll clean it up. Be careful not to cut your hand..."
"Oh, okay..."
Wan Manyu's heart raced. She thought Wan Yun Ting was talking about the police discovering her and Hou Bing's affair, which was why she was so flustered.
After picking up the broken plates from the floor, Wan Yun Ting looked at Wan Manyu, who was standing beside him, appearing flustered and lost in thought. "Sis, what's wrong?"
"Ah, I'm fine..."
Wan Manyu, returning to her senses, quickly avoided Wan Yun Ting's gaze and turned back to the sink to wash the dishes.
However, Wan Yun Ting, who understood her expression, felt his heart sink.
Big sister really has something going on!
"What did you just say?"
Wan Manyu, unable to calm herself, asked nervously.
Wan Yun Ting walked over and stood beside her. "I just said that the police have found new clues in Cheng Kai's disappearance and are investigating further. They might find his whereabouts soon!"
"Is that so..."
Wan Manyu turned her head and gave Wan Yun Ting a very unnatural glance. In her panic, her hands, which were washing dishes, were trembling slightly, and her voice was the same. "Then... then let them find him, so his parents don't worry..."
Seeing his elder sister's flustered and panicked state, Wan Yun Ting felt very worried. "Sis, I know Cheng Kai is wicked. Even killing him wouldn't erase the harm he's done to you. So, I will definitely find him..."
However, when Wan Manyu heard the words 'kill him!', her hands slipped again, and another plate fell. Wan Yun Ting caught it quickly. "Sis, when we find him, you divorce him. Even if he doesn't agree, I'll make him agree!"
"Mm, okay..."
Wan Manyu, completely flustered, had a blank mind. So, no matter what Wan Yun Ting said, she just nodded with an unnatural smile.
Wan Yun Ting nodded, placed the plate in the sink, gave his elder sister a deep look, and then turned to leave. Seeing this, Wan Manyu breathed a sigh of relief because Wan Yun Ting exerted an invisible pressure on her, making her feel suffocated.
"Oh, right, sis!"
However, Wan Yun Ting, who was just at the doorway, suddenly turned back and asked her, "I heard Wan'er say that there's an Uncle Hou who often comes to see her. Is that Brother Hou Bing?"
This made Wan Manyu freeze completely. She stood there stunned, her mind going blank. The bowl in her hand slipped and fell into the sink...
