Chen Qiannian turned around and said to Miao Miao with a smile: "It's already cooked. When I mix the lotus root slices, we can start dinner."
Miaomiao said politely: "Thank you for making a dish specially for me."
"Why are you so polite? Tingzhou said you like to eat, it's just a matter of course." Chen Qiannian said as he put the lotus root slices on a plate, turned around and brought them to the island table, and said to Miao Miao: "
You taste it."
Han Tingzhou took the chopsticks, picked out a piece, fed it into Miaomiao's mouth, and then took another bite himself.
"Yeah, it's delicious, crispy and spicy!" He gave a thumbs up.
Miaomiao also thought it tasted good, "It's delicious, even better than the ones in restaurants."
Han Tingzhou said: "Qian Nian is the editor-in-chief of a food magazine. He works very hard on food."
"Oh, no wonder." Miao Miao said suddenly.
Chen Qiannian smiled calmly, "Thank you sister for the compliment."
Miao Miao's heart suddenly thumped. This was her sister's call. She knew that Chen Qiannian might have called her that politely, but it felt like the distance between her and them had suddenly been cut away.
Han Tingzhou was probably afraid that Miao Miao would think too much, so he said to Chen Qiannian: "What's your name, sister? You're not much older to begin with, just call her by her first name."
"Oh!" She raised her hand to cover her mouth and said to Miaomiao, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else."
"Hey, it's okay, you can call me anything." Miaomiao waved her hand nonchalantly and said with a smile.
Everyone went to the restaurant and sat down at the table.
Miao Miao is sitting on Han Tingzhou's right hand, and Chen Qiannian is sitting on his left hand.
Mother Han said: "You are not an outsider, so you don't have to be restrained. Qian Nian, just pick up whatever you want to eat. If you can't reach it, let Tingzhou pass it to you."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Miaomiao again: "Wanjia, you're welcome."
Miaomiao reluctantly raised the corners of her mouth and nodded lightly.
Chen Qiannian said lively: "Auntie, do you think I have ever been polite when I came to dinner? I made this table, and I am the one who is the least polite!"
"What are you talking about? There are no rules." Although Mother Chen said it as a scolding, she was laughing at it, and she didn't mean it at first glance.
Mother Han said: "I think Qian Nian is right. People have worked hard to prepare a table of dishes and have put in the effort, so they should eat freely. Qian Nian, eat whatever you want."
After she finished speaking, she said to her son: "Tingzhou, give Qian Nian some more food."
Fortunately, Han Tingzhou was still smart and didn't listen to his mother's words, "Mom, look at you, eating with you is stressful. You don't have to say that you are not an outsider no matter what kind of food you eat. You can eat whatever you want."
Chen Qiannian also said: "Auntie, you don't need Tingzhou to take care of me, I can do it myself. Eat quickly and try the asparagus heart I made, your favorite."
Han Tingzhou picked up the chopsticks and picked several dishes for Miaomiao. He said softly to her: "Tell me which one you like to eat and I will pick it up for you."
His move warmed Miaomiao's heart and let her know that she was not alone.
"You eat too." Miaomiao picked up a piece of meat in front of her and put it on his plate.
Mother Han's face sank slightly when she saw it, but she didn't say anything and greeted the Chen family's mother and daughter to eat.
After the meal, Han Tingzhou was called to the study by his father. The women sat in the living room, drank tea and chatted.
The three of them were chatting passionately, but Miao Miao was left alone. She didn't want to interrupt, and couldn't interrupt. She just drank tea slowly and waited for Tingzhou to come down and go home.
About half an hour later, Han Tingzhou came down from upstairs and came over to Mother Han and said, "Mom, it's getting late. I'll take Miaomiao back first."
"Are you leaving now?" Mother Han stood up, glanced at Miaomiao, and said, "Then drive slowly when you go back. Will you be back soon?"
"No." Han Tingzhou took her hand and said to Chen's mother and Chen Qiannian: "Aunt Chen, let's leave first. Qiannian, come over and play when you have time."
"Bye." Chen Qiannian waved to Miaomiao.
Miaomiao followed Han Tingzhou into the car, put on her seat belt, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Han Tingzhou started the car and sighed, "I had an argument with my dad."
"What's wrong? You don't agree with us?"
Han Tingzhou said, "That's not true. It's because of my work. It's nothing serious."
Miaomiao said: "You have been working for several years. You know what you want, so I won't give you any random ideas."
Han Tingzhou smiled and held her hand, "Of course you don't have to worry about these little things. You should think about our wedding now, right?"
"Tingzhou, do you think your parents will really agree with us? After all, I am older than you, I have two children, and you come from a wealthy family..." Miao Miao asked tentatively, unable to say anything else.
.
After hearing this, Han Tingzhou frowned slightly and said, "Wanjia, did you hear something? Or did someone say something to you? You have bravely accepted me before, why are you asking like this now?"
"No one said anything, but I did hear something." Miao Miao did not hide it, and said bluntly: "When your mother was chatting with Mrs. Chen today, she talked about the second son of the Yan family. You know this.
?”
"I don't know, what happened to him?"
Miaomiao told him again, "I just feel that as a businessman in your family, you really need someone with strong talent from your natal family to be more suitable."
"Wan Jia, I know who is more suitable for me. There is no one else in this world, and that's you!" Han Tingzhou said to her seriously: "I'm not looking for a marriage partner, I'm looking for the person I love. I don't want you.
Being troubled by these thoughts leads to feelings of inferiority and avoidance. Wanjia, since we have decided to be together, let’s be together well and love each other, okay?”
Miao Miao saw that he had a firm look on his face, but it seemed that he was being pretentious. Yes, why should he be bothered by others when it comes to his feelings? Why should he depend on other people's opinions? Even if the other person is his mother, matters about feelings are his own.
matters have nothing to do with others.
She only cares about Han Tingzhou's attitude towards her. If Han Tingzhou loves her and recognizes her, she must love him in return and not let him down.
"Maybe I'm sensitive," Miao Miao said. "When I hear other people's things, I unconsciously apply them to myself. This problem is not good, I will change it."
Han Tingzhou said: "When they get together, they like to chat about this and that. If this happens again in the future, just walk away and don't listen, otherwise everyone will be affected. Let's not care about what other people's families are like, we will just
It is my greatest wish to live my own little life well and be harmonious and beautiful."
Miaomiao looked at him with eyes full of hope. For a moment, she felt sorry for him. She wondered what would happen when he heard the word "disagree" from his mother in the future.
But there was nothing she could do about it. Mother Han didn't explicitly say "disagree" to her, so let them find out and speak for themselves.
