Madam, Please Behave-Chapter 250: A Conversation with the Little Brother-in-Law

Realizing the awkwardness of the situation, An Yuanyao quickly let go of Liu Changqing and turned her back toward the doorway.

Meanwhile, An Qianxun remained seated, staring blankly at his sister’s back.

Once all the dishes had been served, the waitstaff exited the private room. As soon as the door clicked shut, the room fell into silence.

After a moment of thought, Liu Changqing sat down and spoke.

“An Qianxun, I don’t know why you have such a deep bias against me, but I can tell you with a clear conscience—I have never lied to your sister.”

“Who knows if you’re telling the truth or not…”

“If you keep holding onto this bias, then no matter what I say, you won’t believe it.”

With that, Liu Changqing picked up a cup, rinsed it out with water, poured the water away, then filled it up again and placed it in front of An Qianxun.

“But… just look at your sister. Does she look like someone who’s been deceived?”

Hearing this, An Qianxun was momentarily stunned. Slowly, he shifted his gaze toward his sister.

It was true.

He hadn’t really paid attention before, but now that he looked closely, his sister seemed to be in much better spirits. Compared to when she was living at home, she even seemed to have gained a little weight.

Noticing his gaze, An Yuanyao smiled gently.

“Qianxun… I’ve never been this happy before. Everything he said is true.”

“……”

Silence.

An Qianxun had to admit it—if Liu Changqing were truly some manipulative liar, their father wouldn’t have just sent him here to talk. He would have taken action himself and brought his sister home by force.

It seemed… their father had already looked into him.

Sometimes, it didn’t matter if he wanted to deny it.

If he had his way, An Qianxun would rather his sister never remarry and just live with her family forever. But… that was just wishful thinking.

Although he was still unhappy about his sister being with Liu Changqing—who, after all, was Li Wanran’s ex-husband—he couldn’t ignore the fact that she looked much better now.

In the end, he could only sigh.

Resigning himself to reality, he picked up the cup Liu Changqing had placed in front of him.

He had intended to down it in one gulp, but the tea was too hot. After just a small sip, he hurriedly put it down.

Seeing his comical reaction, An Yuanyao couldn’t help but chuckle. She then walked over to him, gently patted his head like she used to when they were kids, and smiled.

“Alright, stop making a fuss. Your brother-in-law treats me very well.”

“Who’s brother-in-law? I haven’t acknowledged him yet!”

Hearing her brother’s retort, An Yuanyao didn’t argue. She simply smiled and set out his chopsticks and bowl.

“You haven’t eaten yet, right? Come have some food.”

“…Fine, but only for my sister’s sake.”

His stomach was indeed growling. He had rushed over in such a hurry that he hadn’t eaten properly. He wanted to eat, but he still had to act tough.

Seeing his reaction, Liu Changqing had a general grasp of his personality.

Simply put—An Qianxun was a hardcore sister-con.

Liu Changqing wasn’t entirely sure what his real purpose was for coming here, but judging by the situation, An Yuanyao’s parents were already aware of their relationship.

He hadn’t planned on revealing things to them this soon, but… things had developed beyond his control.

It seemed… he would have to find time to visit An Yuanyao’s parents.

During the meal, there were no major conflicts. To keep her little brother in a good mood, An Yuanyao kept serving him food.

After they were full, Liu Changqing drove both of them home.

The reason? An Qianxun wanted to see where his sister was living.

Liu Changqing had no objections and took them both back to his place.

Once they arrived, An Qianxun’s expression showed a hint of surprise.

Instinctively, he glanced at his sister, hoping to see even a trace of dissatisfaction on her face.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed.

His sister still had that cheerful smile.

It had been a long time since he had seen her this happy. Even the last time she was home, she had always looked troubled and downcast.

But today, from the moment he saw her, that smile hadn’t left her face.

And he could tell—it was a genuine smile.

Silently following behind them, An Qianxun finally got a good look at his sister’s living environment.

Along the way, she told him about her current situation.

She was now living with Liu Changqing—and with him, his two kids.

Once inside, An Qianxun looked around the living room.

The furniture was a bit old, but surprisingly, the place felt warm and cozy.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

It was well-kept, clean, and didn’t give off a shabby impression.

An Yuanyao showed her brother around, then took out some photos from their recent trip to an amusement park.

In the photos, An Qianxun immediately spotted the two kids.

The boy bore more resemblance to Liu Changqing, but the girl… she looked like a miniature version of Li Wanran.

However, there was an undeniable difference—unlike Li Wanran, this little girl’s bright, cheerful smile was something Li Wanran could never pull off.

So this was…

Holding the photo, An Yuanyao looked at the four figures in it as if explaining to her brother.

“They’re both very well-behaved and sensible… and they listen to me.”

She spoke softly, but standing next to her, An Qianxun heard every word clearly.

He instinctively turned to look at her and fell into deep thought.

His sister loved children.

He had known this for a long time.

Maybe because she never had any of her own, this had become a sore spot in her heart.

Now, with two kids to care for, it seemed to ease that burden a little.

But deep down… she still longed for it, didn’t she?

She wanted a child of her own.

Looking at her expression, An Qianxun was silent for a long time. Then, suddenly, he turned around and grabbed Liu Changqing’s arm.

“We need to talk.”

Noticing her brother’s action, An Yuanyao quickly put down the photo and was about to follow them out, but An Qianxun stopped her.

“You stay inside and rest. There are things I need to discuss with him alone.”

“But you—”

“Sis, don’t worry.”

Cutting her off, An Qianxun gave a helpless smile before dragging Liu Changqing outside.

As the door shut behind them, only An Yuanyao was left inside.

—Outside.

An Qianxun led Liu Changqing over to a window. Once they stopped, he finally let go of his arm and turned to face him.

Liu Changqing already had a guess about what was coming, so he didn’t ask any questions. Instead, he silently took out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to An Qianxun.

“Do you smoke?”

“I quit.”

“Alright… your sister’s been keeping me from smoking much lately too.”

Seeing Liu Changqing put the cigarettes away, An Qianxun’s expression turned serious.

He got straight to the point.

“What are you planning to do about Li Chongming?”
