Chapter 362 Brother-in-law Controls Song Chengguan

Song Tingwan rushed over and gave Song Chengguan's face a good rub.

Song Youqing, standing to the side, flicked his sleeve forcefully, looking quite angry. "Hmph, I thought you didn't want your little brother anymore!"

His tone was harsh; if Song Tingwan didn't know his temperament, she would definitely have been frightened by him.

Although the matter with Meng Jingyang has come to an end, Song Tingwan still feels angry and sad whenever she thinks about it.

She remained silent, and Song Youqing, receiving no response, felt incredibly awkward.

Wen Zizhou never expected that the man in front of him was his future father-in-law. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.

"Master Song must be exhausted from his journey; he should get some rest."

"There's a room on the third floor. Shall I take you up?"

His timely words gave Song Youqing a way out, and his light cough increased his favorability towards Wen Zizhou.

"Little brother, come here too! Big brother will find you someone suitable."

There is a dedicated room upstairs for children to rest in, just in case we have important guests visiting someday.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Song Chengguan nodded obediently, his voice filled with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

His calling him "brother-in-law" made Wen Zizhou overjoyed, and he still had a silly grin on his face even after he had settled everyone downstairs.

Li Yunwan was talking to Song Tingwan, who was looking down with her head down, looking aggrieved.

Wen Zizhou strode forward, blocking Song Tingwan's path, grabbed her hand, and said to Li Yunwan, "Mother-in-law, I'm taking Tingwan outside to play for a while. You should go upstairs and rest too."

He finished speaking with a grin and then grabbed Song Tingwan and ran off, as if afraid that Li Yunwan would catch them.

Li Yunwan, watching Wen Zizhou make faces to amuse Song Tingwan from behind, couldn't help but laugh and scold, "This kid! Look at him, protecting her like the apple of his eye, what is he worried about?"

Once outside the restaurant, Wen Zizhou was chattering away beside her, which greatly boosted Song Tingwan's spirits.

Seeing that she was in a better mood, Wen Zizhou took her to the Dessert Wonderland, where Ada and Aer were at the front desk.

The two brothers worked at the same window, one making desserts and the other selling them, taking turns doing the work.

Ah Er has a sweet tongue, which makes customers happy and they buy a lot of things. Ah Da has a strong ability to learn by analogy and has created many of his own snacks.

Wen Zizhou paid the money and brought out a portion of all the new desserts that had arrived at the shop that day, placing them in front of Song Tingwan.

"If you ask me, your dad is just trying to make amends with you. There's nothing shameful about backing down a little."

He gently patted Song Tingwan's back to comfort her. Song Tingwan looked up at him and then at the mousse on the table. Then she scooped out a large piece with a spoon and put it in her mouth.

"I know! But I still feel sad when I think about it."

She spoke indistinctly, her voice tinged with a barely perceptible sob.

Wen Zizhou was terrified and quickly pulled her into his arms. "I didn't mean to blame you! I won't say anything more!"

Seeing his panicked expression, Song Tingwan felt a pang of heartache, then shook her head:

"I'm not angry anymore. I'll go find him when I get back."

Seeing the pretty and cute desserts on the table instantly brightened her mood. She smiled at Wen Zizhou and said, "Cheng Guan loves sweets just like you."

We'll take them all back to him in a bit.

The two stayed outside for a while, and only after confirming that Song Tingwan had calmed down did Wen Zizhou take her back.

Song Youqing, who was on the first floor, looked on anxiously. When he saw the two return, he quickly turned his head and sat up straight.

Song Chengguan's reaction was completely different from his. He ran up to the two of them with a smile and saw their intertwined hands, revealing two small dimples.

"Sister, brother-in-law! You're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Wen Zizhou found it very endearing that he kept calling him "brother-in-law," so he put the packed desserts on the counter and then carried him to sit on the tall stool.

Your older sister said you also like sweets, so we'll make do with this for today.

"I'll take you to our restaurant tomorrow."

He patted Song Chengguan's round head and received a few more sweet words of thanks for calling him "brother-in-law".

Song Chengguan ate happily, and Song Youqing was even more pleased to see that Wen Zizhou and his son got along so well.

Suddenly, he felt his sleeve being tugged twice. He turned around and saw Song Tingwan pouting as she looked at him.

"Father, I was wrong, please scold me."

Seeing her like this, Song Youqing's heart softened immediately. He snorted and turned his head away, "Why would I scold you?"

"This was your father's fault. I will never arrange another marriage for you again."

He felt extremely awkward; this was the first time he had ever spoken like this in front of a child.

Song Tingwan giggled, tugging at his sleeve and shaking it back and forth. "I knew Dad wouldn't be able to bear scolding me."

"However, Meng Jingyang's matter was indeed Father's fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have run away from the marriage."

"After that, the Meng family stopped coming to find me."

"Zizhou won't get hurt by the Meng family's thugs while protecting me."

Upon hearing that Wen Zizhou was injured, Song Youqing's heart tightened, and he unusually gave Wen Zizhou a kind look, "Where are you injured? Are you alright?"

Wen Zizhou was flattered. He had actually received countless glares from Song Youqing since he entered the room, but he just pretended not to see them.

He certainly couldn't put on airs when his future father-in-law tried to be friendly, so he patted his chest and proudly said, "It's alright! I'm very healthy!"

A few black lines appeared on Song Tingwan's forehead. Even if he was strong, he shouldn't have been able to be kicked to the ground by her in the first place.

Upon hearing this, Song Youqing raised his eyebrows and looked him up and down, his disdain undisguised.

Song Chengguan, on the other hand, was extremely accommodating, clapping his hands and praising Wen Zizhou incessantly:

"My brother-in-law is so amazing, he can protect my sister!"

Wen Zizhou adored him so much that he spent the entire afternoon with him at the counter.

Throughout the afternoon, Song Chengguan was constantly being fed, either homemade snacks or desserts delivered from the dessert shop, Miaomiao House.

The others were unaware that the father and son had arrived. When Wen Zizhou returned to Shanquan Village with his men, Xie He was so frightened by the sound of Aunt Wang rushing over that she almost ran away.

"Hey, what are you doing! Your father-in-law is here, why are you hiding?!"

She pulled Xie He aside and teased her, and Xie He thought about it and agreed.

She glanced at her own clothes, then at Wen Muchuan's, before smiling and explaining, "After all, he has a certain status. I'm just afraid that if we do anything inappropriate, it might give him pause."

Aunt Wang glanced at the courtyard gate and, seeing the carriage hadn't arrived yet, reassured them, "I just saw it through the window; it looked very kind. Don't be nervous, both of you."

Xie He felt much more relaxed after hearing her words, and the couple immediately went to greet the carriage as soon as it appeared.

Lifting the carriage curtain revealed Song Youqing's face, which was adorned with an exaggerated smile.

He had practiced on the way, and his face was a little stiff at this point.

He wouldn't act like this if Song Tingwan hadn't said he always had a stern face that was intimidating.

The two families exchanged warm greetings, and Wen Muchuan, the head of the family, took the lead in welcoming them into the house.

He had thought it would be nothing more than a house with blue bricks and tiles, but when he saw the house in front of him, he was secretly amazed.
