Chapter 863: Chapter 863 - Only Braised Pork

In the villa at the top of the mountain.

Lu Boyan did not return yet. There were only Su Jian’an, Xu Youning, and the three little guys.

Xiyu made up his mind to be a quiet baby and therefore lay there without making any noise. Sometimes, he would look around, but he would soon stop staring and bite his fist. It seemed that nothing could attract his attention.

However, Xiangyi was quite different from her brother. She was amused by Xu Youning and Mumu. The whole living room brimmed with her clear and crisp laughter.

Seeing this, Su Jian’an could not help smiling.

In the past, her mood was easily affected by Lu Boyan.

Now Xiyu and Xiangyi could also affect her. As long as they were happy, she felt that the world was bright and warm.

At this time, the mobile phone on the tea table rang.

It was Su Yicheng on the line. He called to ask if she was in the villa because Luo Xiaoxi wanted to come over.

“Yes, I’m here,” Su Jian’an said, “Boyan is about to get off work. Come with Xiaoxi. We can have dinner together.”

Hanging up the phone, Su Jian’an walked over to Mumu and said, “Auntie Xiaoxi will come. I’m going to prepare dinner. Can you keep an eye on the babies?”

“No problem!” Mumu nodded. He looked at Su Jian’an and said expectantly, “Auntie, I want to eat braised pork.”

“Sure, I’ll make it.”

Then Su Jian’an patted Mumu’s head and walked to the kitchen.

Looking at Su Jian’an’s back for a while, Mumu turned to Xu Youning and asked, “Auntie Youning, if my mommy were still alive, would she be like Auntie Jian’an?”

Xu Youning asked curiously, “Do you want your mommy to be like her?”

“Yes!” Mumu nodded seriously. “I hope she could be as beautiful as Auntie Jian’an and be able to make delicious braised pork! And—”

“And what?” Xu Youning was more curious and led him to continue.

Mumu rubbed Xiangyi’s face and answered, “And give birth to a cute baby.”

“Puff...” Xu Youning could not help laughing.

She was in full agreement with Mumu.

Rubbing Xiangyi’s face just like Mumu did, she thought, “Who won’t like such a cute girl!”

Unexpectedly, Xiangyi protested with a groan. It seemed that she didn’t like others rubbing her face.

But she acted differently when Mumu played with her.

“Mumu,” Xu Youning said as she didn’t want to give up, “can you touch her face again?”

“Okay.” Mumu leaned against the sofa and caressed Xiangyi’s face with his chubby hand.

She didn’t reject him at all and even grinned at him like an angel.

Xu Youning lowered her shoulders in frustration and accepted the reality. Compared to her, Xiangyi preferred Mumu more.

“It must be because of my coarse hands!” She comforted herself.

After a while, Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi arrived.

Mumu remembered Luo Xiaoxi because when he met Su Jian’an for the first time, he had also seen her. Therefore, he politely called her “Auntie”.

Luo Xiaoxi had already heard that Mumu was here due to the kidnapping event. So she was not surprised to see the little guy and introduced Su Yicheng to him with a smile.

Su Yicheng looked a little serious. Therefore, Mumu greeted him cautiously, “Nice to meet you, uncle.”

Although Su Yicheng knew that Mumu was Kang Ruicheng’s son, he didn’t hate this child because of his father.

He nodded and said “Hey” as a response.

At this time, Xiangyi, who was ignored, whined and cried.

Su Yicheng came over, picked up his niece, and asked, “Where is Jian’an?”

Xu Youning answered, “She is preparing dinner.”

Su Yicheng said nothing and tried to coax the baby girl. But she just kept quiet for a short while and soon burst into tears and struggled in his arms. He made every effort but still failed to calm her down.

Hearing his sister’s cry, Xiyu frowned, waved his hands, and cried along with her.

Luo Xiaoxi hurried over to coax him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unexpectedly, it didn’t work at all. As Xiangyi cried more loudly, Xiyu wept more tears.

It was not until then that Luo Xiaoxi realized that Xiangyi should be pacified first.

However, Su Yicheng didn’t seem to be able to handle her.

At this time, Mumu walked over and tugged at Su Yicheng’s sleeve and said, “Uncle, she doesn’t like to be held like this.”

Su Yicheng looked at Mumu incredulously and asked, “Do you know how to hold a baby?”

“Yes.” Mumu nodded. “I can teach you.”

Su Yicheng was more curious to see how a little boy coaxed a baby than babysitting skills.

He gave Xiangyi to Mumu doubtfully, and she soon stopped crying and even laughed when Mumu teased her.

To be honest, Su Yicheng wasn’t interested in the skills at all. All he wanted to know was why he, the biological uncle of Xiangyi, couldn’t compare with a four-year-old kid.

Luo Xiaoxi noticed Su Yicheng’s emotional change and hurriedly pulled him away. “Let’s see if Jian’an need any help.”

Su Jian’an was cooking the braised pork. When she saw Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi coming in, she picked up a piece of pork, gave it to Luo Xiaoxi, and said, “Try it and tell me if it’s the same as before. If it’s different, Mumu may not like it.”

Luo Xiaoxi took a bite and nodded. “Don’t worry, it’s as delicious as before.”

“That’s good.” Su Jian’an turned off the fire and put the pork on the plate. “Mumu wants to eat this, so I...”

“Ahem!” Luo Xiaoxi interrupted her. “Stop talking about Mumu. Someone is jealous.”

Su Jian’an gave Su Yicheng a strange look and questioned, “Brother, are you... jealous of Mumu?”

“Uh-huh.” Luo Xiaoxi continued to make fun of him. “When he hugged Xiangyi, she cried badly. But as soon as Mumu teased her, she immediately became quiet.”

Su Jian’an smiled and said, “When Mumu first came here, she wouldn’t allow him to hug her either. She accepts him just because she has become familiar with him these days. If you don’t believe me, you can live here for a few days.”

Su Yicheng did not want to admit that he lost to a four-year-old kid. He said coldly, “Don’t listen to Xiaoxi.”

Luo Xiaoxi relaxed her grip on Su Yicheng’s hand, walked to Su Jian’an, and asked, “Why do you suddenly care so much about Mumu?”

Su Jian’an might not have confidence in something else, but she would never doubt her expertise, Lu Boyan’s love for her, and her cooking skills.

But just now, Su Jian’an asked her to try the pork just because she was worried that Mumu might not like it.

Su Jian’an responded, “Mumu will go back soon. We may never meet again in the future. So I want him to be happy in the last few days here.”

Knowing Su Jian’an’s thoughts, Luo Xiaoxi sighed and said, “What a pity.”

“Pity for what?” Su Yicheng looked at Luo Xiaoxi in amazement. “He is Kang Ruicheng’s son. Do you want him to stay here forever?”

“Tut-tut, are you still jealous?” Saying this, Luo Xiaoxi picked up a piece of braised pork and fed Su Yicheng. “Relax.”

Su Yicheng was speechless.

When dinner was about to be ready, Lu Boyan came back.

Seeing Mumu playing with Xiangyi and Xu Youning watching them in the living room, he walked over and asked, “Where’s Jianan?”

“Auntie Jian’an is in the kitchen,” Mumu said, “Uncle Lu, can you hold the baby? I want to pee.”

As soon as Lu Boyan took over his daughter, Mumu immediately ran to the bathroom.

Seeing her father, Xiangyi finally stopped crying. She buried her face in his arms, humming lightly.

Soon, Mumu came out of the bathroom. He looked at the sky outside and said, “Auntie Youning, it’s getting dark.”

Xu Youning didn’t realize what he meant.

Mumu continued, “Uncle Mu said that he would come back before nightfall!”

Only then did Xu Youning remember this thing. “Yeah, why didn’t Mu Sijue come back yet?” she thought.

Lu Boyan said while coaxing his daughter, “When I came back, I called Sijue. He was delayed by something urgent, so he wouldn’t come back so soon.”

Mumu ran to Lu Boyan, looked up at him, and asked, “Will Uncle Mu come back today?”

But Lu Boyan did not know the answer either.

Xu Youning patted Mumu’s head and said, “After dinner, we’ll call Uncle Mu.”

Mumu blinked his eyes and responded, “Okay.”

At this time, Su Jian’an came out of the kitchen with the braised pork. “Time for dinner,” she said.

Mumu was the fastest to eat up. He quickly wiped his mouth and said, “I’m full.” Then, he slipped off the chair.

Xu Youning asked, “Where are you going?”

Mumu snorted and answered, “Uncle Mu didn’t come back to play with me. So I’ll play with the baby.”

Saying this, he ran to the living room like the wind.

Luo Xiaoxi nudged Su Yicheng and whispered, “See? If you want Xiangyi to like you, you have to care about her with all your heart.”

Su Yicheng took a look at Luo Xiaoxi’s pregnant belly and said smilingly, “My heart is in someone else. There is not enough room.”

Luo Xiaoxi smiled and asked, “Then what is enough?”

Su Yicheng gave Luo Xiaoxi a meaningful look and said, “Your favorite thing.”

Luo Xiaoxi immediately realized what Su Yicheng referred to. She picked up another piece of braised pork for him and said, “Just eat.”

Su Yicheng, “...”

Their voices were so small that others could not hear what they were talking about. After all, such a private conversation was not suitable to be talked about in public. Therefore, Luo Xiaoxi changed the topic. “Let’s guess, will Yuechuan call us today?”

Su Jian’an filled a bowl of soup for Lu Boyan and said, “It depends on Yunyun’s performance.”

“Although Yunyun is not talented in hiding her emotions, she will not be exposed so quickly,” Luo Xiaoxi said, “I bet Yuechuan will not find out so soon.”

Su Jian’an pondered for a while and shook her head. “It’s hard to say,” she said when she nudged Lu Boyan, “What do you think?”

Lu Boyan answered, “I agree with you.”

Su Jian’an pretended to be dissatisfied and complained, “Mr. Lu, you really have no ideas of your own.”

Lu Boyan didn’t mind at all. He said, “Mrs. Lu can represent me.”

This made Su Jian’an speechless.

At this time, her phone rang. It was Yuechuan’s call...
