Chapter 105 - Unhappy Father-in-law

Gu Ruoyun smiled and helped his father-in-law out of his predicament. “Father-in-law is also worried about Yan’er. I will treat Yan’er with more care in the future.”

If it were any other family, they would have politely said to let Su Yan treat Gu Ruoyun well.

However, the Su family was different. Their daughter was like a precious treasure and given to anyone, they would need to dote on her. If they could not do it, they would send her back to the Su family who will dote on her themselves.

Madam Su immediately said, “Aye, that’s the right thing to do. Our Yan’er is such a darling, she deserves to be doted on.”

Gu Ruoyun smiled and nodded. The way he looked at Su Yan was no less doting than a member of the Su family.

Although displeased, Master Su also nodded his head in unison.

Su Yan was still affected by Madam Su’s words that her double chin was appearing.

She touched her neck and felt that it had became thicker. She looked at Gu Ruoyun and asked sadly, “Have I really gained weight?”

Gu Ruoyun looked at Su Yan who seemed unwilling to accept reality and smiled, “No, but you’ll look better if you are a little plumper.”

Su Yan became even more despondent. She had really gained weight.

Master Su quickly said, “Yan’er, your mother was just spouting nonsense. You don’t have a double chin at all, you are not fat.”

Madam Su did not refute Master Su and agreed that Su Yan was not fat.

Even Old Master Su said, “Girls should not be too thin.”

Su Yan looked at her favorite braised fish, braised meat, braised eggplant on the table with indignation. She put down the chopsticks in her hand.

She said, “I want to eat another bowl.”

This turn of events made everyone burst out in laughter.

Fortunately, everyone managed to hold back their smiles before Su Yan was about to throw a tantrum.

Chu Tao quickly picked up Su Yan’s rice bowl and helped her fill it up to the brim.

Su Yan transformed her anger into motivation to eat and devoured her food until she was full.

After dinner, as Gu Ruoyun had something to discuss with her grandfather and the others, they went to the study for the meeting.

Su Yan was in Madam Su’s room and she touched her own protruding belly in satisfaction.

Madam Su found it a little funny when she saw her like this. She said, “We’ve raised you for so long but have yet to see you gain weight. I didn’t expect you to gain weight after staying in the Guang Residence for more than a month.”

She lamented, “The Royal Highness really knows how to raise people!”

Su Yan shouted in embarrassment, “Mother –”

Madam Su smiled and said, “Okay, I won’t say anymore, won’t say anymore.”

Looking at Su Yan, it felt as if it was only yesterday that she was just learning to walk. In the blink of an eye, she was already married.

Madam Su asked, “Have you looked at all the shops that mother gave you?”

Su Yan thought for a moment before remembering that her dowry included shops.

Madam Su could tell that this was not of priority to her and said bitterly, “Mother will leave these shops to you in the future. What I gave you last time was only a small portion. You have to treat it seriously and build good relationships with the shopkeepers. Otherwise, when mother leaves in the future, who will take care of these things for you?”

Su Yan leaned on Madam Su and pouted unhappily, “Mother will never leave me.”

Madam Su nodded her head helplessly and said, “No matter what, you still need to go and take a look, understand?”

Su Yan knew the seriousness of this matter and nodded vigorously.

Madam Su nodded in relief and said, “Yan’er has grown up.”

Su Yan nestled in Madam Su’s arms and said, “Mother, aren’t you and father going to have another child?”

Madam Su’s face turned red. She patted her head and said, “What are you talking about, child.”

Su Yan cupped her head in her hands and said, “I just feel that the two of you are too lonely. I also want to have a younger sister or brother.”

Madam Su looked at Su Yan and smiled, “It’s enough for mother to have you as a child.”

Su Yan wanted to press on but Madam Su quickly changed the topic. She had no choice but to give up on that.

After a while, Gu Ruoyun came to pick Su Yan up.
