I thought he would refuse, but unexpectedly, he put down the newspaper and walked upstairs.
Su Qian stood there, still not reacting.
He turned to look at her and asked, "What are you still waiting for?"
She followed his footsteps, and they walked into the room side by side.
"Chen Xi, mommy didn't lie to you, daddy is here to eat cake with you."
Su Chenxi raised her eyes and saw her father and mother standing together, her eyes filled with expectation.
Si Mobai walked towards her and took her hand.
"Let's go, Daddy will eat cake with you."
They came to the balcony and sat down around the small table.
Si Mobai picked up the spoon, scooped up the cake, and brought it to Su Chenxi's mouth.
Su Qian glanced at him in surprise.
He moves skillfully like a father who has had children, rather than a young man who has clothes to hold out.
Seeing her daughter open her mouth and eat the cake he sent, Su Qian felt deep jealousy in her heart.
The daughter she worked so hard to raise seems to prefer this man who is not related to her by blood.
Her eyelids drooped, secretly feeling sad.
Su Chenxi swallowed the cake in her mouth and noticed her mother's disappointed expression.
When Si Mobai was about to bring the second spoonful of cake to her mouth, she stretched out her little hand and pushed Daddy's hand in front of Mummy.
Su Qian and Si Mobai both understood what she meant, and exchanged glances with each other, but neither spoke.
Si Mobai's hand stayed in the air for a few seconds, and when he was about to retract it, Su Chenxi took action again and pushed his hand back.
Su Qian quickly said: "Chen Xi, Mommy bought this cake for you to eat. Mommy won't eat it."
Su Chenxi seemed not to hear it, looking straight at her father.
Seeing her expectant expression, Si Mobai brought the cake to Su Qian's mouth without hesitation.
Su Qian was stunned for a moment, and her face turned slightly red.
In order not to disappoint her daughter, she opened her mouth and ate the cake, not daring to look at Si Mobai the whole time.
Su Chenxi looked at the interaction between the two, and the corners of her mouth curled up a little.
Si Mobai had no expression on his face, and fed the small cake to Su Chenxi like a feeding machine.
As a bystander, Su Qian was embarrassed and very pleased.
What was embarrassing was that Si Mobai had to feed her in person, but what was gratifying was that his daughter's condition had improved a lot.
If this trend continues, my daughter's illness will definitely get better soon.
After eating the cake, Si Mobai did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he asked the servant to bring Su Chenxi's favorite story book and patiently told Su Chenxi the story.
Su Qian and him sat next to their daughter, one on the left and one on the right. They didn't need to talk at all, they just wanted to accompany her quietly.
While my daughter was listening carefully to the story, she was also listening.
Si Mobai's voice is magnetic, and it is a bit gentle when he is not angry, making people feel like their ears are pregnant.
She sat beside her daughter and actually enjoyed it a bit.
…
Jinxiu Garden.
Tanghua walked into the hall with great interest.
Jiang Wanrong was sitting in the hall, and there was no one else.
She hurried forward and said hello: "Aunt Jiang."
Jiang Wanrong glanced at her with a faint smile on her face.
"It's you, sit down."
"Thank you Aunt Jiang, I won't sit down. I'm here to see Luo Qi. Do you know where Luo Qi is?"
Tang Hua has a carefree personality and says whatever she wants. She is not aware of Jiang Wanrong's displeasure after being declined.
"Luo Qi said that you are a lady, gentle and reasonable. Why does it seem to me that there is something different from what he said?"
"What?"
Tang Hua looked confused. She quickly lowered her head to check what she was wearing and straightened her hair.
"Aunt Jiang, what's wrong?"
While eating bird's nest, Jiang Wanrong said, "How can a lady from all over the world always come to her fiancé's house, clamoring to find her fiancé before she has even married?"
"..."
Tang Hua smiled stupidly: "Auntie, your thoughts are too feudal. In this era, it is very common for unmarried couples to live together after getting engaged. I just came to see Luo Qi. Is that okay?"
Jiang Wanrong put down the bird's nest.
The bird's nest bowl collided with the coffee table, making a loud noise.
"The Si family is not a small family. It has its own etiquette and rules. If you want to marry in, you should have the awareness to abide by the rules."
Tang Hua felt baffled and secretly sympathized with Su Qian.
Su Qiantan should be a lot angry with such a mother-in-law, right?
She came to see Luo Qi, not to see Si Mobai. Mrs. Si was too lenient.
However, adhering to the principle of respecting her elders, she still smiled and echoed: "What Aunt Jiang taught me is that I will pay attention to it in the future."
Jiang Wanrong was then satisfied.
"Luo Qi is still in the company, please sit down for a while."
"Oh, okay."
Tang Hua sat down.
As soon as her butt touched the sofa, she regretted it again.
Because she and this Mrs. Si had nothing to talk about, it was too awkward to just sit like this.
I thought it would be embarrassing when Si Luoqi came back, but unexpectedly, Jiang Wanrong started looking for a topic again.
"I heard that you are from a single-parent family, and your father is running a large listed company?"
"Ah? Yes."
Tang Hua sat stiffly and nodded like a robot.
Jiang Wanrong's expression was calm, as if she was quite satisfied with her family background.
Tang Hua thought that was the end, but unexpectedly she continued to ask: "What about you, what is your education level? Are you working in your father's company now, or do you have another job?"
Tang Hua blinked.
Is this a household registration check?
She's not marrying her son, so why are you asking so many questions?
"Auntie, I have a bachelor's degree and I don't have a job for the time being."
"Looking at it this way, it's quite different from Luo Qi."
Tang Hua couldn't help but interjected: "Auntie, isn't this what two people are looking at together?"
Jiang Wanrong raised her head proudly.
"Of course a small family doesn't care about this, but our Si family values being well-matched. Luo Qi has no mother. As Luo Qi's aunt, I naturally have to look after him."
Tang Hua smiled perfunctorily: "Auntie, do you think I'm not worthy of Luo Qi?"
"certainly."
Jiang Wanrong's unabashed answer made Tang Hua blush.
What do you mean? This is, an aunt has a lot to take care of.
"However, Luo Qi likes you, so I can't say anything. Fortunately, your family background can barely match that of your boss, which will also help Luo Qi's future."
"Haha~"
Tang Hua smiled stiffly, not knowing what to say.
Jiang Wanrong took on the attitude of the hostess of the Si family and said with a smile: "I am an outspoken person, so don't mind."
"No, don't worry."
Tang Hua didn't want to take it to heart at all, but she sympathized with Su Qian even more in her heart.
It seems that marrying into a big family is not a good thing~
Afraid of what Jiang Wanrong would say, she quickly made an excuse: "Um... Aunt Jiang, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving first. Goodbye!"
Before Jiang Wanrong could agree, she ran away faster than anyone else.
