Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 132 You can rest assured to leave Wanqiu to me.

I had just opened the door when I got home.

Liu Songyan heard his younger sister's smug laughter, which was clearly genuine and undisguised.

When he got to the door and changed into slippers, he looked up and saw Liu Wanqiu excitedly pacing around the living room, holding something that looked like a paintbrush.

The father watched with a smile.

An Zhaoran also stood quietly to the side.

Excitedly pacing around the living room, Liu Wanqiu felt a surge of pride upon seeing her brother return home. Holding her paintbrush high, she ran towards the door.

He approached it, but didn't say anything, just kept holding up what he was holding.

It was swaying back and forth.

"I saw it, stop showing off."

"Hehe, aren't you envious? This is a gift Aunt An bought for me!"

Liu Wanqiu was in an exceptionally good mood.

Last night I not only received a large sum of money, but today I also received a gift.

Every day brings new surprises, and she is now looking forward to each day to come.

Liu Songyan entered the living room, and his gaze, which had been fixed on his younger sister, unconsciously drifted to the side. When he saw An Zhaoran standing beside his father, he was taken aback.

I suddenly felt a little confused.

He knew that An Zhaoran had stayed at his place last night.

He thought it was just a temporary stay, after all, she wasn't the first one his father had brought home. But to his surprise, An Zhaoran appeared at his house again today.

Two days in a row... This is the first time I've seen this.

Although he had some doubts, Liu Songyan didn't dwell on it too much, since he and his classmate Shen Ruzhi had made an agreement about the exam rankings during the day.

The winner will be decided in next week's monthly exam.

In order to prevent Shen Ruzhi, who was in the same class, from interfering with his plans, he decided that he had to surpass her in the rankings of this exam no matter what.

Since elementary school, Liu Songyan has consistently been a top student and a helpful classmate.

However, due to his family situation, he gradually began to feel aversion to studying.

Since he entered junior high school, he has basically never attended a class at school.

He could understand science subjects like math even without listening to lectures, but when it came to humanities subjects like Chinese and English, it was clearly a weak point for Liu Songyan, who had never attended a class before.

With only a week left until the first monthly exam of the third year of junior high school, he plans to make the most of these few days to review.

I don't need to do well on the exam; it's enough if I can surpass Shen Ruzhi in the exam rankings.

"The three of us have already had dinner."

The sound of his father's voice made Liu Songyan, who was secretly observing An Zhaoran, look away.

Looking at Liu Changcun, I saw that he maintained a smile throughout.

"The food is warming up in the pot. Go wash your hands first, then come and eat."

"understood."

Liu Songyan obediently followed his father's instructions.

Only after he entered the restroom did An Zhaoran withdraw her gaze.

She noticed the gaze that Liu Songyan had been giving her.

Compared to Liu Wanqiu, who already had a good impression of him and could easily win his favor, Liu Songyan, as his older brother, was clearly more difficult to get along with.

After all, Liu Songyan is now taller than her, an adult.

An Zhaoran has never been good at communicating with the opposite sex, and she is now in the same situation with Liu Songyan, who is a generation younger than her.

She was a little worried that the other person would dislike her, after all, they hadn't spent much time together, and Liu Songyan's taciturn personality was very similar to Liu Changcun's in high school.

An Zhaoran has never been good at dealing with this type of person.

Listening to the sound of the faucet coming from the bathroom, and watching Liu Wanqiu run to the easel with her paintbrush, completely absorbed in it.

With a worried expression, An Zhaoran quietly moved closer to the man beside her.

Only when their arms touched did she lower her voice and ask quietly.

"I wonder if he'll like the gift I prepared for him..."

"Don't worry, boys his age are easy to please."

"Should I give it to him later?"

"Let's talk about it when he comes out to eat."

Liu Songyan turned off the tap in the bathroom and came out after drying his hands.

She went to the kitchen to bring the reserved food to the table, and then went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water.

Before Liu Songyan could sit back down, An Zhaoran, who seemed preoccupied, came over.

They stopped Liu Songyan, who was about to return to the dining table.

Hesitantly, he took out the thing behind him.

"..."

Holding his water glass, Liu Songyan's gaze moved downwards.

Looking at the box handed over by An Zhaoran, its packaging clearly indicates that it is a currently popular electronic watch.

Compared to traditional mechanical watches, today's teenagers prefer simple yet highly individualistic electronic watches.

As I looked at the box in front of me, I heard An Zhaoran's voice.

"I didn't know what you liked, so I just bought this without asking..."

"..."

"It has quite a few functions; you can set a time and view the date..."

Liu Songyan glanced at his father.

He noticed that the other person was staring at him, and although the smile on their face was as usual, there was a clear warning in their eyes.

Although Liu Songyan was used to doing things his own way, he wasn't so lacking in emotional intelligence that he couldn't understand his father's hints.

Looking back at An Zhaoran, who seemed a little nervous.

He reached out and took the box containing the electronic watch from the other party.

"Thank you auntie."

"Go eat first."

Seeing his son's response, Liu Changcun smiled even more happily.

He, who had been standing still, started to move, and gently patted the child's shoulder as he passed by.

Then, he and An Zhaoran, who was relieved, walked towards the living room together.

Holding the box in his hand, Liu Songyan turned around and looked behind him.

Watching her father and An Zhaoran help her younger sister pack up her drawing board.

Watching Liu Wanqiu happily surrounding An Zhaoran.

After observing for about ten seconds, Liu Songyan sat back down at the table, put the box aside, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

He put the food in his mouth, then turned his gaze to the box beside him, noticing the picture of an electronic watch printed on the packaging.

He chewed on his thoughts with a heavy heart.

On their way home from the TV station today, Liu Changcun took An Zhaoran to the mall.

After all, there wasn't a single thing in the house that belonged to An Zhaoran. Considering that she would be staying at home for the next few days, Liu Changcun took the initiative to buy her quite a few things.

Needless to say, I bought two sets of toiletries for temporary emergency use.

An Zhaoran was very happy to receive the gift and insisted on giving one in return.

Liu Changcun has nothing to lack these days, so she set her sights on her brother and sister.

Knowing that Liu Wanqiu liked to paint, An Zhaoran bought her a complete set of painting supplies.

As for Liu Songyan, considering his age, An Zhaoran originally wanted to buy him a computer directly, but this crazy idea was undoubtedly stopped by Liu Changcun.

Unlike in later generations, computers are still considered relatively expensive technological products today.

There is an old computer in Liu Changcun's bedroom that he used to use in the bookstore, so there is no need for another one in the house.

After much deliberation, An Zhaoran finally decided to change the gift.

That's when I bought the digital watch.

Liu Changcun now has a plan for the station's new program. Considering the success of the previous "Singer Competition", he has decided to upgrade and improve it to create another program of the same type.

Liu Changcun has many wildly popular program ideas in his head, but given the current era, some programs, even if they are brought to the big screen earlier, may not achieve the same glory as before due to reasons such as cultural incompatibility.

Therefore, out of a desire for a steady and pragmatic approach, he felt that even reality shows featuring ordinary people could be quite entertaining.

First, we assess the singing abilities of the contestants before selecting them.

Then, having the contestants perform on stage while wearing masks not only increases the audience's curiosity but also continues the underlying logic of the "Singer Showdown" program.

People are curious about the unknown.

If a contestant has a beautiful voice, but wears a mask so the audience can't see what the singer looks like, it will definitely pique the audience's curiosity in this day and age.

Discussion generates buzz, and the new show may therefore achieve good ratings.

Of course, this is only possible under ideal circumstances, or this new program may follow the path of the declining "Singer Competition" and fail to achieve outstanding results.

Everything is still uncertain, so Liu Changcun doesn't have much confidence in it.

An Zhaoran and Liu Wanqiu left the bathroom after taking a shower.

Sitting on the sofa, Liu Changcun looked up and saw An Zhaoran wearing a summer short-sleeved shirt and cool shorts, holding a small plastic basin, looking at Liu Wanqiu with a surprised expression and asking a question.

"Didn't your mother teach you these things before?"

"No……"

Liu Wanqiu answered honestly, and it was only today that she learned some basic knowledge about women's hygiene.

Upon seeing the little girl beside her, An Zhaoran's expression changed slightly.

Although she knew that Lin Wanran might not be a good mother, she never expected her to be this bad.

If it weren't for agreeing to Liu Changcun's request to teach young Liu Wanqiu some knowledge about women,

She would never have known that Liu Wanqiu's knowledge base was so limited.

An Zhaoran raised the plastic basin in her hand and looked at Liu Wanqiu with a serious expression.

"Remember to separate them next time. This is for washing the lower part of the body. Be sure to keep it safe and don't use it for soaking your feet."

"understood……"

Liu Wanqiu obediently responded after taking the plastic basin from An Zhaoran.

After the girl left with the basin, An Zhaoran walked towards where Liu Changcun was.

Sitting next to him, the two were only a fist's distance apart.

After pondering for a while with her eyes lowered, An Zhaoran looked at the man again.

"Although it's not nice to say it like this, Lin Wanran is really terrible as a mother."

At this moment, there was no one else in the living room except Liu Changcun and An Zhaoran.

Liu Wanqiu went to put away the basin, while Liu Songyan went straight back to his room after taking a shower.

Looking at Liu Changcun beside her, An Zhaoran's face showed a hint of anger.

Thinking back to the questions she had asked Liu Wanqiu while she was taking a shower, she realized that...

She was taken aback by the other person's apparent ignorance.

As a parent, Lin Wanran should have taught her children some nursing knowledge long ago.

However, judging from Liu Wanqiu's current reaction, it is clear that Lin Wanran's approach to educating her child can no longer be described as a failure.

It's simply incompetent.

Although she was already eleven years old, Liu Wanqiu was still completely clueless about this. If An Zhaoran hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes today, she wouldn't have believed that such a situation could occur.

Looking back on her childhood, her mother, Guo Yan, taught her a great deal, step by step.

Just like inheritance, this kind of knowledge is passed down from elders to the next generation.

“They didn’t teach her anything, so Wanqiu doesn’t know anything.”

"That's why I'm asking you to teach her."

After all, Liu Changcun and Liu Songyan in the family did not know much about this kind of knowledge, and as Liu Wanqiu was getting older, it was not appropriate to say some things openly.

This is why Liu Changcun only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to let An Zhaoran stay at his home.

He had been aware of similar problems for a long time.

"You can rest assured and leave Wanqiu to me."

Patting her chest confidently, An Zhaoran accepted this heavy responsibility without the slightest hesitation.

Liu Changcun, who was about to say something, only glanced down and witnessed this scene.

Looking at An Zhaoran wearing her own clothes, although the short sleeves were loose, they still couldn't completely cover the front part of her body.

As she made her promise, those two things trembled slightly.

Liu Changcun quickly realized what was happening and said no more.

He simply listened to An Zhaoran's assurances and silently turned his face away.

He also bought An Zhaoran a set of pajamas when he went to the mall in the evening, but he put them in the washing machine to wash after he got home, so she couldn't change into them tonight.

I almost forgot about underwear.

Judging from what just happened, An Zhaoran, who came out of the bath with her daughter, didn't seem to be wearing any clothes.

In other words, she is currently sitting here in the most comfortable position.

Looking at An Zhaoran beside him, he noticed her wet hair, which she hadn't had time to dry after taking a shower.

Looking at her bare face.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Noticing Liu Changcun's gaze, An Zhaoran, regaining her senses, raised her hand and touched her face in confusion.

She clearly didn't understand why Liu Changcun's gaze towards her was becoming increasingly strange.

It was as if... they were admiring it.
