In the kitchen, the three girls looked at their mothers and father in confusion not understanding what he meant.
Just what kind of surprise would they scold their Papa?
"Okay... okay, we will smile a lot."
Little Jia giggled and then tickled Little Qiqi and Xiao Ya with her fingers on their waist.
The little girls were caught off-guard as they burst into a peal of laughter being tickled in their waist.
They were wearing t-shirts which Grandma Yan changed for them after they came back and washed.
"I have invited your aunt Lan'er and her friends since you were missing them so much these days."
Ye Qian's words caused the three girls to jump in happiness.
"Ahh, Aunt Lan'er, Aunt Lin and Aunt Yanran are coming."
Little Qiqi and Little Jia exclaimed, the two little girls were told by Lin and Yanran to call them aunts as well and with them calling Lin and Yanran aunts, the girls had gotten used to it.
"So, you should get ready, or do you want to show your teary faces with those snots."
Ye Qian laughed showing a glass plate to Little Qiqi.
There were obviously some tear marks left on her cheek since she had cried for so long.
"Ewww, Papa, Qiqi will not show Qiqi's face like this."
The little girl quickly turned around and hid her face with both of her palms.
She would have never thought that she would look like such.
And that was not all, now even her Papa had seen her with such a face.
This was way too embarrassing for the little girl who always liked to look clean and beautiful in front of her Papa.
Seeing his little daughter was hiding her face from him, Ye Qian laughed.
"Alright, Jia, go with your mom, she will help the three of you to get wash your face and dress well."
Ye Qian turned to Ning Wei, who was already removing the apron from her waist and walking towards the basin to wash her hands.
It was clear that her hands might be smelling with onions and fish since she was busy cutting onions before.
But as he saw her removing the apron off her wast as her hair fluttered in the air along with her specs glittering in the light, Ye Qian's felt his heartbeat speed up for a moment as he stared at her with a dazed look.
Ning Wei had of course recognized his gaze, and seeing him staring at her in a daze, her face flushed before she hurriedly walked out of the kitchen with the little girls with her face flushed red.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Yuan Meng called Ye Qian.
"Qian'er, what happened?"
Seeing that he was staring at the entrance of the kitchen she asked.
"Umm, nothing, I just felt a bit weird."
Ye Qian scratched the back of his head.
He didn't know just with what face would he say that he was a bit stunned after seeing Ning Wei to his wife Yuan Meng.
And there was no way that he would even say that.
With that, the two continued the preparation for the dinner.
Ye Qian had already made what was to be made and would take quite a time to be cooked, as, for the other things, he had thought that he would do it just a while before they were going to have the dinner.
According to him, even if Yu Lan and her friends came right now, there would still be an hour till they would be starting the dinner.
The time right now was just 7:30 after all.
Meanwhile, the bell of the house rang.
Ye Qian and Yuan Meng looked at each other in confusion.
It had been not more than 10 minutes since he had called Yu Lan and asked her to come along with her friends, but the bell was ringing and it was clear that someone was there.
Ye Qian and Yuan Meng were sure that last week it had taken them more than 20 minutes to come from their dorm.
But he didn't know that the girls were not in college.
In fact, Yu Lan and others had taken more than 20 minutes was because that day they were in the dorm and their dorm was even farther away from the college.
If one were to calculate the distance from the city, then the closest would be the Shenya Hospital from which the University was 5 minutes away and then came the dorm where the students lived.
But even with their coming from the hospital was not known by Ye Qian, Yu Lan and her friends would surely not reach so soon.
"Let's go and see who it is?"
Seeing Ye Qian's confused gaze, Yuan Meng said while removing her apron.
"Hmm."
With that, the couple walked out of the kitchen when they saw that Grandpa Xiao was just about to wake up.
"Dad, I will check the door."
Yuan Meng called out as she let Grandpa Xiao sit.
She understood that he should have waited for them to come but since they had not come till now he was going to see the person at the door.
But now that they had come, there was no need for him to do so.
Ye Qian took a look in the living room and was a bit disordered, that was because Grandma Yan was not present in the living room right now.
Meanwhile, Yuan Meng didn't find anything weird as she walked to the entrance wanting to open the door.
"CLICK."
Just as she had thought, the person at the door was not Yu Lan and her friends but someone else who she had seen for a few times but didn't know.
"Hello, do you need our help?"
The person at the door was a man in his mid-40s, he was wearing some simple clothes with a hat on his head and there were a few stains of sauces and other cooking ingredients on his clothes.
In fact, even the smell of various kinds of sauces greeted Yuan Meng's nostrils as soon as she opened the door.
