Lu Ting coughed lightly.
Yin Ning reacted and immediately lowered her eyes and stopped talking.
Lu Ting looked at Father Yan and apologized. âIâm sorry, Ningâer was rude.â
Originally, he did not want to bring Yin Ning over, but Yin Ningâs family thought that since they had registered their marriage, there was no reason for her to return to her family for the new year.
He could not leave her alone at home, so he could only bring her over.
Father Yan said indifferently, âItâs fine, itâs fine. Please sit.â
He called for them to sit down. When Mother Yan, who was in the kitchen, heard the sound, she had already brewed a pot of tea and brought it out.
Seeing Yin Ning, she did not say much. After all, she was Mrs. Lu.
When Yin Ning heard the sound of a smoker in the kitchen, she said enthusiastically, âIn-law, are you cooking?â
Mother Yan nodded and said with a smile, âItâs time for the New Yearâs Eve dinner soon.â
When Lu Ting heard this, he immediately looked apologetic. âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry. We came at the wrong time and interrupted your reunion dinner. Weâll go back first.â
Father Yan stood up and pulled them back. He said generously, âItâs fine. Did you book a hotel for your reunion dinner?â
Lu Ting nodded. âThe servants are all on vacation, so we can only book a hotel. However, there are too many people, so we can only book it for tonight.â
Father and Mother Yan looked at each other and asked, âThen what are you going to do at noon?â
âItâs fine. How can a few living people starve to death?â Lu Ting said naturally, âWeâll eat whatever we can find. Itâs fine even if we donât eat.â
Yin Ning smiled cooperatively and said, âYes, yes. Iâm on a diet. It doesnât matter if I miss one meal.â
When Suisui heard this, she immediately turned to look at her Big Brother, who was standing beside her without saying a word, her eyes filled with sympathy.
Big Brother didnât even have food to eat! Such a miserable life!
Lu Qinshang braced himself and caught Suisuiâs sympathetic gaze. He glanced at Lu Ting from the corner of his eye and quietly watched his fatherâs performance!
âHow can that do!â Father Yan hesitated and said carefully, âWhy donât you eat with us for lunch?â
Lu Ting waved his hand. âHow can that do? Itâs too troublesome for you. Noâ¦â Yin Ning supported him professionally. âThatâs right, thatâs rightâ¦â
Father Yan looked at Mother Yan and asked if he should invite them again.
Mother Yan glanced at her daughter and maintained a smile. âItâs not troublesome. Thereâs a lot of food prepared for our New Yearâs Eve dinner. Donât despise my culinary skills. Stay and eat a few mouthfuls.â
Lu Ting said in embarrassment, âIn-law, you must be joking. Even a five-star chef canât compare to your cooking.â
After a pause, she looked at Yin Ning and then at Father Yan. âWhy donât we eat together at noon and go to the hotel to eat at night? In any case, I booked a large private room. Itâs a waste if the three of us canât finish it. Isnât there a custom about not wasting food on New Yearâs?â
âThisâ¦â Father Yan did not dare to make a decision casually and looked at Mother Yan.
Mother Yan nodded. âAlright, weâll do as you say!â
âSuisui, take care of Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Qinshang.â Mother Yan reminded
Suisui, âIâll go back to the kitchen to work first.â
Yin Ning said perceptively, âLet me help you.â
âNo need. The clothes youâre wearing are so beautiful. They must be very expensive. Itâll be a pity if they get dirty.â Mother Yan rejected politely.
âItâs not expensive. Theyâre all imitation goods⦠This fur scarf is worthless!â Yin Ning rolled up her sleeves and said very sincerely.
She was too enthusiastic and Mother Yan could not refuse. She said embarrassedly, âAlright, alright.â
Yin Ning held her arm and walked to the kitchen. As she walked, she said, âMy culinary skills are not good, but I can still pick and wash vegetables. Donât worry, leave it to me.â
Before leaving, Old Lu had warned her that if she did not perform well, she could forget about going to the Paris fashion show in spring.
She had to perform well in front of her in-laws and let them know that she, this stepmother, was not a difficult person at all and they could marry their daughter over without worry.
The two women were cooking. Now that Lu Ting was here, Father Yan could not continue wiping the windows. He said dryly, âMr. Lu, have some tea.â
âWeâll be family in the future. If you donât mind, call me Brother Lu!â Lu Ting was in the business world, so he naturally knew how to interact better than
Father Yan.
Father Yan nodded. âSure, Brother Lu.â
Lu Ting replied happily, âThen Iâll call you Little Brother Yan. Since you have nothing to do, why donât we play chess?â
âAlright.â Father Yan stood up and said, âIâll go get the chessboard.â
âWhat chessboard? Donât we have one?â Lu Ting saw the chessboard he had given them last time under the coffee table.
Father Yan hesitated for a moment. âLetâs use what I had before. This is too expensive.â
âItâs not that expensive.â Lu Ting took the initiative to take it out. âIsnât it just a chessboard? Weâre already so old, and our children have grown up. Shouldnât we enjoy life a little?â
Father Yan was moved by his words. âAlright, weâll use this.â
Seeing that he had agreed, Lu Ting opened itâ¦
Suisui stood at the side and scratched the back of her head. She said hesitantly, âFather, Uncle Lu, you guys play. Iâll bring Big Brother back to the room to sit for a while.â
Father Yan was a chess fan. At this moment, how could he care that his daughter wanted to be in the same room as another man? He waved his hand to signal her to go.
Lu Ting gave Lu Qinshang a look. He could not waste such a good opportunity he had created for him.
Getting someoneâs daughter pregnant was something that already disgusts the girlâs parents. Now that they were not married yet, they naturally had to pull back their favorability before marriage.
If he missed such a good girl, he was afraid that this silly boy would never meet someone like this again.
Lu Qinshang lowered his eyes, as if he did not see his gaze and thought that he was worrying for nothing.
Didnât he know how much the young lady liked him? Was there a need to make the young lady happy again?
Suisui held Lu Qinshangâs hand happily. âBig Brother, Iâll bring you to my room to play.â
Lu Qinshang nodded and followed her to the room.
Suisuiâs room was completely decorated like a typical girlâs room. There was an apricot-colored wallpaper and a few dolls placed on the bay window. The bedsheets were light pink with white lace.
There were stickers still stuck to the white bookshelf, and there was a poster of him on its back. On her desk was his humanoid figurine. It was obvious how much she liked him.
âLooks like you really like me!â Lu Qinshang walked to the desk and sat down on a chair. He did not sit on her bed and poked his figurine.
Suisui revealed an embarrassed smile. She thought of something and said, âBig Brother, wait.â
With that, she turned around and ran out of the room.
Lu Qinshang frowned. âSlow downâ¦â
âGot it.â Suisui ran into the kitchen in a hurry and took out a cup from the cabinet and a mango from the fridge.
The kitchen was small to begin with, and it was barely enough for two people to stand in. When she entered, it looked even more crowded.
Mother Yan said in disdain, âWhat are you doing? Get out quickly, get outâ¦â
âNo, I want to make fruit juice for Big Brother to drink.â Yan Sui picked up the Imife and wanted to peel the mango.
When Yin Ning saw this, she immediately took away her fruit knife. âSilly child, pregnant women canât touch these things. Itâs not auspicious. Iâll help you.â Suisui nodded. Looking at her beautiful crystal nails holding a fruit knife, she was a little worried if she knew how to do it
âDonât think that my nails are beautiful but useless. I know how to do some work.â With that, Yin Ning deftly peeled the mango. Suisui was slightly surprised. âYouâre so powerful.â
Yin Ning smiled. âIn the past, my family sold fruits.â
She cut the peeled mango into pieces and placed them on a plate before handing them to her. âTake them.â
Suisui thanked her and continued to squeeze the mango juice.
It was done in a short while. The mango was just enough for a cup. Yin Ning took the juicer and said, âGo, Iâll wash it.â
Suisui thanked her again and ran out with the cup.
Yin Ning chuckled. âSheâs so good to Qinshang.â
Mother Yan said helplessly, âIâve spoiled her too much. Iâve embarrassed myself in front of you.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBig Sister, youâre thinking too much. Who wouldnât like a cute girl like Suisui? Yin Ning praised.
Mother Yan smiled and didnât reply.
Suisui walked into the room with the mango juice. âBig Brother, have some juice.â
Lu Qinshang raised his eyebrows. âAfter all this time, you ran out just to squeeze fruit juice for me?â
Suisui nodded. âThatâs right. Doesnât Big Brother like to drink fresh fruit juice the most? My father bought the mango this morning. Itâs definitely fresh!â
âBy the way, thereâs alsoâ¦â She thought of something and turned to run out.
Lu Qinshang picked up the cup and took a sip of fresh fruit juice. It was sweet. Suisui walked in with a box and said mysteriously, âGuess what it is?â âWhat?â Lu Qinshang asked.
Suisui walked to the table and put down the box. Then, she slowly opened the box and said happily, âDang dang dang⦠Itâs your favorite biscuits. I had to work very hard to get them from a shop assistant.â
This brand was very famous overseas and very difficult to buy.
Lu Qinshang looked at the neatly arranged biscuits in the exquisite packaging box. His throat tightened, and his voice was a little different. âYou specially bought this for me?â
Suisui nodded. âThatâs right! I originally planned to give it to you as a birthday gift after the new year.â
âAre you stupid?â Lu Qinshang reached out and pinched her little face. âIf I want to eat biscuits, I can just get someone from the Lu Corporationâs overseas market to send them to me. Do I need you to spend so much effort to buy them?â
Suisui finally reacted. âThatâs right! But Iâve already bought it. Try it!â
She solicitously and obsequiously took out the biscuits, tore open the packaging, and fed it to him.
âBut Iâm still very happy. Thank you.â Lu Qinshang let go of his fingers and opened his mouth to take a bite of the biscuit.
âYouâre welcome. As long as youâre happy.â Suisui looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes and said expectantly, âIs it really delicious?â
This small box of biscuits cost 2,000 yuan. It was so expensive that her heart ached. After receiving it, she could not even bear to take a bite.
Lu Qinshang looked at her. âYou havenât eaten it before?â
Suisui shook her head and asked, âDoes it taste the same as what you used to eat?â
âYes.â
Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. âItâs good that itâs the same.â
The 2,000 yuan didnât go to waste!
âDo you want to try it?â Lu Qinshang asked her.
Suisui glanced at the remaining 19 biscuits from the corner of her eye and nodded.
Lu Qinshang picked up a biscuit and tore open the package. His throat bobbed a few times as he said in a low voice, âMy shoulder has been a little sore these past few days. Bend overâ¦â
Suisui immediately bent down obediently and said worriedly, âBig Brother, whatâs wrong with your shoulder? Iâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qinshang raised his head and pressed his lips against hers..
