Chapter 585 - Incident On The Dining Table (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhao Youlin and Joy had lived in Zhao Residence for so long. All the servants in Zhao Residence knew Joy. Joy was an adorable boy. He was not a spoiled brat like other rich kids who could be hard to serve. When he moved out of Zhao Residence, many servants had wistfully given him a lot of snacks.

When they saw Joy running into the kitchen, many of them exclaimed in a surprise. “Hey, Young Master Joy, you are back. Come and let us see if you have lost weight. Have you eaten well in your new home? Is the food there good?”

Joy continued to look for An Yue, while he was dealing with weird maids in front of him.

“It’s good.” He thought about it and added, “But your food is better.”

The maids beamed with pleasure when they heard what he said. They held Joy’s hand and said, “You have lost weight. It’s obvious that you haven’t eaten well since you moved there. We are going to make you something nice later. We’re going to make all your favorite food.”

If Zhao Youlin had been here and saw this, she would have rolled her eyes. She really could not see how her fair and chubby son, who was even plumper than before, had lost weight.

That’s why people said compliments made people blind, especially when they were being complemented by such an adorable boy!

An Yue was baking cookies in the kitchen. When she heard the commotion outside, she thought it was strange. She took off the gloves and walked toward the outside. She only took a few steps forward when she saw a small figure rush toward her and hugged her thigh.

“Aunt An Yue! Aunt An Yue!”

An Yue was taken aback. Feeling the heavy weight on her thigh, it took her a while to collect her thoughts. She smiled lightly and squatted down to hold the child in her arms. “Joy, you are back.”

“Yes!” Joy nodded. He looked at An Yue with his twinkling eyes and said, “I miss you, Aunt An Yue.”

“You mean you miss my snacks.” An Yue, who had spent a lot of time with him when they were in the store, knew immediately what he was really thinking about, so she said the same thing as Zhao Youlin.

Joy pouted and said defiantly, “Why do you and mom always say that about me? Does everyone think I love food so much?”

An Yue was amused by the boy’s sulky look. She patted Joy’s head and said gently, “Okay, okay, you are not a hungry boy at all. I misspoke. I missed you too, Joy. Come, let me show you the cookies I baked for you. It is going to be ready soon.”

When Joy heard that there were cookies for him, he stopped being sulky. He obediently let An Yue hold his hand and lead him inside.

The freshly baked cookies were placed next to the oven. White mist rose from the top of the cookies, bringing out the sweet fragrance of the cookies, captivating Joy’s soul in an instant.

“Wow, it smells so nice!”

“Really? I made several flavors. There are pineapple, banana, orange and strawberry. You can take them home if you can’t finish them later. But the cookies are still very hot now. It is going to take a while for them to cool down before you can eat them.”

“Okay, okay.” Joy was grabbing the edge of the cooking table with both hands. Looking at those cute little animal cookies, it was making Joy’s mouth water.

The scene made An Yue want to laugh. She took the chopsticks on the side to pick one cookie up. She carefully blew on it to cool it down before handing it to Joy’s mouth.?She said in a low voice, “You can have one first, see if you like it or not. Just one. We are going to have lunch soon. You can only have cookies after lunch.”

“Okay!” Joy nodded quickly and ate the cookie with one bite, worrying that An Yue would change her mind.

“Yummy!”

Looking at Joy chewing on the cookie while mumbling a compliment, An Yue’s expression became more and more gentle. “Alright now, there is a lot of smoke in the kitchen. Let’s get out of here first.”

“Okay.”

When An Yue walked out with Joy, Zhao Youlin and the others were talking. When they saw them appear, they all stopped talking and looked over.

An Yue was a little stunned. She stopped walking and did not know how to react.

Duan Yarong was the first to react. She warmly greeted her daughter-in-law. “You’ve finished baking? Come, come, sit with me.”

“Yes, I have.” An Yue smiled. She held Joy’s hand and sat down beside Duan Yarong.

Duan Yarong took An Yue’s hand and introduced her to the people sitting across from her. “This is Youlin’s husband. You should have met him before. And this is his mother, Youlin’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Mu.”

An Yue had already seen Mu Tingfeng before, so she knew him. As for Su Ruixin, she had only seen her from afar. She never even talked to her before.

“Hi, Mrs. Mu. I am An Yue, you can just call me Yue Yue.” An Yue greeted her politely. An Yue’s shyness and meekness immediately won over Su Ruixin’s heart.

“Yue Yue, right? How pretty. Come, I was in a hurry last time and I didn’t have time to get to know you properly. This is a little gift that I prepared for you.”

An Yue, who had never seen such a gesture, hurriedly waved her hand. “No, no, no, I can’t accept this.”

“Of course you can. You are Youlin’s sister-in-law, and you get along with Joy so well. We are family. Of course you can accept this.” As Su Ruixin said that, she pretended to be upset and said, “Or do you not like my gift? Is it not good enough?”

“No, no. I would never…” An Yue was socially inexperienced. She panicked when she heard what Su Ruixin said, so she turned to look at Duan Yarong for help. Duan Yarong smiled. She patted on An Yue’s hand and said, “The gift Mrs. Mu gave you must be nice stuff. Just accept it.”

An Yue was relieved. She shyly took over the delicate gift box from Su Ruixin’s hand. “Thank you, Mrs. Mu.”

Su Ruixin was staring intently at An Yue’s face. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. After a while, she could not help but lament, “Yarong, your daughter-in-law looks really pretty and obedient. And she knows how to make pastries. Tsk tsk, if you don’t mind, can I be her godmother?”

As soon as Su Ruixin said that, everyone present except for Mu Tingfeng was stunned. Mu Tingfeng also glanced at Su Ruixin, of course. Only there was more resignation than surprise in his gaze toward Su Ruixin.

Except for Old Master Mu, who felt the need for an heir and wanted a grandson, Su Ruixin and Mu Xiaoyang had wanted to have a daughter since the beginning.

Later, they were greatly disappointed by the birth of Mu Tingfeng, especially when they found that their son was quite mature at a young age. He did not show any cuteness of a child. After realizing that their son was completely unable to meet their beautiful fantasy of a child, the desire of giving birth to a daughter became even stronger.

But perhaps they were not destined to have a daughter. They still could not give birth to a daughter, despite having tried for so long. However, not just a daughter, they did not even have another son.

One had to say that women tended to have a soft spot for something cute. They often had no way of resisting cute things.

An Yue’s obedience and cuteness not only met all of Duan Yarong’s fantasies for a daughter, but she also precisely met all Su Ruixin’s expectations for a daughter!
