77: Chapter 77: Sister-in-law is Good 77: Chapter 77: Sister-in-law is Good While the two people were enviously sighing on the side, Qin Jian had finally extricated himself from the encirclement.
Song Yueqin still couldn’t wrap her head around the situation, “Big Brother Qin, when did you and An Hao get so close?
How come I knew nothing about it!”
Qin Jian didn’t pay any attention to Song Yueqin; he didn’t like girls whose scheming was written all over their faces.
Moreover, just by considering their ages, they weren’t suitable.
As for An Hao, who was looking at him with her watery eyes as though waiting for his explanation.
Qin Jian was thinking about how to explain it to her when the two guys who were crouching at the corner finally couldn’t resist, sneaking closer to eavesdrop more clearly.
“You two, stop hiding!
How long do you plan on listening in?”
Jian Ying and Tian Niu, having been discovered, walked out with chuckles.
Since they were found out, they stopped hiding and came out to listen openly.
“Boss Qin, when did you notice us eavesdropping?” Tian Niu scratched his head and asked, feeling embarrassed.
“I knew from the moment you arrived,” Qin Jian raised an eyebrow and glanced at his work partner and colleague, “You’ve really outdone yourselves—learning to eavesdrop now!”
Jian Ying laughed heartily, “Not at all, not at all!”
Tian Niu chuckled and followed up, “Boss Qin, why didn’t you call us out earlier then?
If we had known you noticed, we would have just come out and listened openly!”
Qin Jian raised an eyebrow at the simple commander of the third company, unable to help but rebuke him, “I wanted to see just how thick your face could get!”
“Thicker than a city wall!” That was absolutely true for Tian Niu.
Qin Jian couldn’t be bothered with him, seeing they were loafing around not doing a stroke of work, just waiting to give them a good run around when it was time to work in the village.
“Come on, let me introduce you,” Qin Jian said, pointing at the two men, “This is my work partner—Jian Ying!
And he is my colleague, as well as my work assistant—Tian Niu!”
“Hello, brothers!” Song Yueqin seized every opportunity to demonstrate her uniqueness.
Jian Ying was married, so it was fine, but Tian Niu turned red with excitement, “Good, good!”
An Hao kept an appropriate smile on her face and greeted them with the proper title: “Hello!”
“We should probably call you…” Jian Ying was pondering how to address An Hao.
Tian Niu, a rambunctious and thoughtless guy, slapped his forehead and blurted out, “Hello, sister-in-law!”
Even An Hao, usually so composed, was taken aback.
In this lifetime, she hadn’t had much interaction with Qin Jian, and she didn’t even know his thoughts towards her.
For Tian Niu to address her suddenly as “sister-in-law” really caught her off guard…
Even if she had thick skin, the mention of this title in front of everyone made her face turn red in an instant.
Qin Jian watched An Hao, noting how her gaze fell and her cheeks blushed, even her delicate earlobes changing color, softening the coldness in his expression.
“Don’t call her that without thinking,” he reprimanded Tian Niu in a low voice.
After being scolded, Tian Niu chuckled twice, “Sorry, I made the sister-in-law shy.”
An Hao: “…” I see no sign of your embarrassment.
Qin Jian raised his brow, “Can’t you understand?”
Tian Niu quietly glanced at the company commander, noticing that although his face was stern, the light in his eyes was not as cold and frightening as it might seem.
According to his years of observation experience, Boss Qin was definitely not angry.
The look was different from when they teased him after he returned from a blind date.
Although Tian Niu was simple and rough, his skill in observing people was quite strong.
