After being reborn in 70, she took back her huge family property and joined the army.

"Dad, brother, you are back!"

Lin Li's voice recalled Lin's father and Lin Xuewen's thoughts. The two adjusted their expressions and emotions and entered the house pretending to be nonchalant.

It's just that some things can't be deceived. Ever since the two entered the house, there was a vague feeling of embarrassment in the room.

After all, Father Lin was older and an elder, so his acting skills were better. He coughed twice and said in surprise as if nothing had happened, "I thought I heard that Xiaoran was engaged when I came in just now? Are you going to live in the capital with someone?"

Lin Xuewen's reaction was much more straightforward. He looked straight at Huo Nianping, who was in the room. He had always been a gentle and reserved person, but at this time, the sharp glasses in his eyes could not block it at all, and his true sharpness was revealed.

Huo Nianping did not avoid Lin Xuewen's gaze, but went straight towards him, his dark and deep eyes not flinching at all.

The two of them are both civilized and martial, with very different temperaments, but equally strong, and neither one is willing to give in.

The surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense.

Of course, it is impossible to start a fight, and it is impossible to start a quarrel.

In the end, Qin Xiaoran grabbed Huo Nianping's arm, and Lin Xueliang and Lin Li pulled Lin Xuewen away. Father Lin and Grandma Lin were interrupted by chatting, and this invisible storm was over.

After that, Qin Xiaoran and Lin's father thanked him again for what happened before, and explained the engagement made by his grandfather and how he and Huo Nianping would go to the capital to live together in a few days after things here calm down.

Father Lin had a complicated expression on his face, and after a while he said, "So that's how it is."

There is really no way around it. If there is no fate, there is no fate. No matter how much you do, there is no fate.

Father Lin looked at Huo Nianping who was looking over not far away, feeling helpless again in his heart.

Not to mention the engagement and so on, Huo Nianping is not inferior to Xuewen. He really has no luck. I pity Xuewen's thoughts, alas...

Qin Xiaoran also followed Lin's father's gaze and saw Huo Nianping, and met Huo Nianping's gaze.

She paused, looked away, and explained to Father Lin that Huo Nianping didn't do it on purpose.

Father Lin shook his head, "It doesn't matter, it's not appropriate to study literature."

Then he thought about it and asked, "When will you leave specifically?"

Qin Xiaoran said, "The specific time has not been decided yet, but for these few days, we will just wait for the Wang family's affairs to be over before we follow him."

Father Lin thought for a while, "It's so urgent."

Qin Xiaoran nodded, knowing that this was a bit urgent, but there was no reason to stay. Huo Nianping came from the army to come to her from the capital, and there was definitely not enough time. She couldn't keep wasting his time.

Father Lin sighed and said, "That's all, that's fine. You can say goodbye to Xuewen later. He has contributed a lot to your family's affairs."

Qin Xiaoran said, "I understand."

Father Lin pondered for a while and said, "Go ahead. After lunch, you and your fiancé can come to me in the study together. I have a gift for you."

"Okay. Thank you Uncle Lin."

Qin Xiaoran walked away from Father Lin and walked back to Huo Nianping, chatting with Grandma Lin and Aunt Lin.

Huo Nianping's replies are usually brief, and he doesn't take the initiative to initiate topics. However, if someone asks a question, he will respond and will not ignore others. It can be seen that he has a cold personality, but he is not bad-tempered.

Qin Xiaoran listened to his answer to Grandma Lin's question, with a smile on his face unintentionally.

Although Huo Nianping didn't smile, his state became obviously much more relaxed after Qin Xiaoran returned to him.

All this was seen by people, including Grandma Lin and Aunt Lin in front of them, and Lin Li and Lin Xuewen further away.

Lin Li watched the interaction between Qin Xiaoran and Huo Nianping, and of course she could see that the two had some feelings for each other. It might not be deep yet, but it was definitely much better than the unfamiliarity between Qin Xiaoran and her elder brother.

Qin Xiaoran may like Huo Nianping, but most likely he doesn't like her eldest brother.

She hopes her eldest brother is happy, and she also hopes Qin Xiaoran is happy. At this time, she can only comfort her eldest brother.

"Brother, don't be sad. A girl you like more will appear in the future."

Lin Xuewen lowered his head and glanced at Lin Li. His pale lips did not move, but his eyes clearly said that there would be no girl he liked more.

Lin Li felt sad when he saw him. She knew how good and hard-working her eldest brother was. She also knew how much her eldest brother liked Qin Xiaoran. She obviously liked Qin Xiaoran so much but worked so hard but still couldn't get it in the end. She didn't dare to think about it. How sad that would be.

"Big brother..."

Lin Xuewen glanced at her again, she was already feeling aggrieved.

Lin Xuewen sighed softly and said to her, "Put away your tears. I haven't done anything yet, but you are going to cry first. I have something to say to Xiaoran. You can pass it on for me."

Lin Li nodded heavily, "Okay."

Lin Li then ran to say this to Qin Xiaoran. Qin Xiaoran looked at Lin Xuewen who had already walked into the yard and nodded. She was also looking for a chance to thank Lin Xuewen.

Of course Huo Nianping also heard the conversation between the two. He just watched Qin Xiaoran and Lin Li walk away in silence.

After he came to the Lin family, he could tell from what he read about the Lin family's thoughts that the Lin family treated Qin Xiaoran very well, at least better and more like a family member than the Wang family treated her.

Someone was taking good care of her, and he should have been happy for her. This was a good thing, but it was a little bad. The Lin family all wanted her to marry Lin Xuewen, which made him feel a thorn in his heart.

Especially when he saw Lin Xuewen, this thorn made him feel a faint pain in his heart.

He didn't want her to see Lin Xuewen, but he had no reason and couldn't stop her.

He could only comfort himself that she was already his fiancée, and she had rejected Lin Xuewen, so there was nothing wrong with them.

Qin Xiaoran went to meet Lin Xuewen here. The two of them walked slowly in the corridor, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Qin Xiaoran really didn't see anything at first, but it would be a lie to say that she hasn't seen anything yet. She vaguely knew that Lin Xuewen liked her a little, but she was not sure, and Lin Xuewen never mentioned it.

After walking for a while, she stopped and thanked Lin Xuewen with carefully considered words for all his help to her.

A bitter smile flashed across Lin Xuewen's face for a moment, and then the careless smile disappeared from his face. He was not in the mood to laugh at all now.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do and what I want to do."

Qin Xiaoran pursed his lips and wanted to repeat his words of thanks, but felt that it was an offense.

Lin Xuewen continued to walk forward slowly, and she followed him.

The two walked like this for a while, and this time Lin Xuewen took the initiative to stop.

His tone was much calmer than before, as if he was relieved.

"Xiaoran, you don't have to feel like you owe me or the Lin family anything. You never owe us, but we owe you. After all these years, we should have gone to find you long ago."

If the Lin family had been the Qin family that helped Qin Xiaoran from the beginning, he might still have a chance to fight for it today, but now, he has no choice but to give up.

Under the corridor, Lin Xuewen stood upright, looking at Qin Xiaoran with warm and pure eyes.

"Xiao Ran, if he bullies you, if you are unhappy in the Huo family, you must remember that you still have us, and the Lin family will always have your backing."

Qin Xiaoran was quite touched and nodded slowly.

"Second uncle and I also prepared a gift for you. We originally thought... but now it just counts as your dowry. You will like it."
