Lu Ting coughed lightly.
Yin Ning reacted and immediately lowered her eyes and stopped talking.
Lu Ting looked at Father Yan and apologized. “I’m sorry, Ning’er was rude.”
Originally, he did not want to bring Yin Ning over, but Yin Ning’s 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, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Please sit.”
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, “In-law, are you cooking?”
Mother Yan nodded and said with a smile, “It’s time for the New Year’s Eve dinner soon.”
When Lu Ting heard this, he immediately looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. We came at the wrong time and interrupted your reunion dinner. We’ll go back first.”
Father Yan stood up and pulled them back. He said generously, “It’s fine. Did you book a hotel for your reunion dinner?”
Lu Ting nodded. “The 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.”
Father and Mother Yan looked at each other and asked, “Then what are you going to do at noon?”
“It’s fine. How can a few living people starve to death?” Lu Ting said naturally, “We’ll eat whatever we can find. It’s fine even if we don’t eat.”
Yin Ning smiled cooperatively and said, “Yes, yes. I’m on a diet. It doesn’t matter if I miss one meal.”
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 didn’t even have food to eat! Such a miserable life!
Lu Qinshang braced himself and caught Suisui’s sympathetic gaze. He glanced at Lu Ting from the corner of his eye and quietly watched his father’s performance!
“How can that do!” Father Yan hesitated and said carefully, ‘Why don’t you eat with us for lunch?”
Lu Ting waved his hand. “How can that do? It’s too troublesome for you. No…” Yin Ning supported him professionally. “That’s right, that’s right…”
Father Yan looked at Mother Yan and asked if he should invite them again.
Mother Yan glanced at her daughter and maintained a smile. “It’s not troublesome. There’s a lot of food prepared for our New Year’s Eve dinner. Don’t despise my culinary skills. Stay and eat a few mouthfuls.”
Lu Ting said in embarrassment, “In-law, you must be joking. Even a five-star chef can’t compare to your cooking.”
After a pause, she looked at Yin Ning and then at Father Yan. “Why don’t we eat together at noon and go to the hotel to eat at night? In any case, I booked a large private room. It’s a waste if the three of us can’t finish it. Isn’t there a custom about not wasting food on New Year’s?”
“This…” Father Yan did not dare to make a decision casually and looked at Mother Yan.
Mother Yan nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you say!”
“Suisui, take care of Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Qinshang.” Mother Yan reminded
Suisui, “I’ll go back to the kitchen to work first.”
Yin Ning said perceptively, “Let me help you.”
“No need. The clothes you’re wearing are so beautiful. They must be very expensive. It’ll be a pity if they get dirty.” Mother Yan rejected politely.
“It’s not expensive. They’re all imitation goods… This fur scarf is worthless!” Yin Ning rolled up her sleeves and said very sincerely.
She was too enthusiastic and Mother Yan could not refuse. She said embarrassedly, “Alright, alright.”
Yin Ning held her arm and walked to the kitchen. As she walked, she said, “My culinary skills are not good, but I can still pick and wash vegetables. Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
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, “Mr. Lu, have some tea.”
“We’ll be family in the future. If you don’t mind, call me Brother Lu!” Lu Ting was in the business world, so he naturally knew how to interact better than
Father Yan.
Father Yan nodded. “Sure, Brother Lu.”
Lu Ting replied happily, “Then I’ll call you Little Brother Yan. Since you have nothing to do, why don’t we play chess?”
“Alright.” Father Yan stood up and said, “I’ll go get the chessboard.”
“What chessboard? Don’t we have one?” Lu Ting saw the chessboard he had given them last time under the coffee table.
Father Yan hesitated for a moment. “Let’s use what I had before. This is too expensive.”
“It’s not that expensive.” Lu Ting took the initiative to take it out. “Isn’t it just a chessboard? We’re already so old, and our children have grown up. Shouldn’t we enjoy life a little?”
Father Yan was moved by his words. “Alright, we’ll use this.”
Seeing that he had agreed, Lu Ting opened it…
Suisui stood at the side and scratched the back of her head. She said hesitantly, “Father, Uncle Lu, you guys play. I’ll bring Big Brother back to the room to sit for a while.”
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 someone’s daughter pregnant was something that already disgusts the girl’s 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.
Didn’t he know how much the young lady liked him? Was there a need to make the young lady happy again?
Suisui held Lu Qinshang’s hand happily. “Big Brother, I’ll bring you to my room to play.”
Lu Qinshang nodded and followed her to the room.
Suisui’s room was completely decorated like a typical girl’s 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.
“Looks like you really like me!” 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, “Big Brother, wait.”
With that, she turned around and ran out of the room.
Lu Qinshang frowned. “Slow down…”
“Got it.” 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, “What are you doing? Get out quickly, get out…”
“No, I want to make fruit juice for Big Brother to drink.” Yan Sui picked up the Imife and wanted to peel the mango.
When Yin Ning saw this, she immediately took away her fruit knife. “Silly child, pregnant women can’t touch these things. It’s not auspicious. I’ll help you.” Suisui nodded. Looking at her beautiful crystal nails holding a fruit knife, she was a little worried if she knew how to do it
“Don’t think that my nails are beautiful but useless. I know how to do some work.” With that, Yin Ning deftly peeled the mango. Suisui was slightly surprised. “You’re so powerful.”
Yin Ning smiled. “In the past, my family sold fruits.”
She cut the peeled mango into pieces and placed them on a plate before handing them to her. “Take them.”
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, “Go, I’ll wash it.”
Suisui thanked her again and ran out with the cup.
Yin Ning chuckled. “She’s so good to Qinshang.”
Mother Yan said helplessly, “I’ve spoiled her too much. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”
“Big Sister, you’re thinking too much. Who wouldn’t like a cute girl like Suisui? Yin Ning praised.
Mother Yan smiled and didn’t reply.
Suisui walked into the room with the mango juice. “Big Brother, have some juice.”
Lu Qinshang raised his eyebrows. “After all this time, you ran out just to squeeze fruit juice for me?”
Suisui nodded. “That’s right. Doesn’t Big Brother like to drink fresh fruit juice the most? My father bought the mango this morning. It’s definitely fresh!”
“By the way, there’s also…” 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, “Guess what it is?” “What?” Lu Qinshang asked.
Suisui walked to the table and put down the box. Then, she slowly opened the box and said happily, “Dang dang dang… It’s your favorite biscuits. I had to work very hard to get them from a shop assistant.”
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. “You specially bought this for me?”
Suisui nodded. “That’s right! I originally planned to give it to you as a birthday gift after the new year.”
“Are you stupid?” Lu Qinshang reached out and pinched her little face. “If I want to eat biscuits, I can just get someone from the Lu Corporation’s overseas market to send them to me. Do I need you to spend so much effort to buy them?”
Suisui finally reacted. “That’s right! But I’ve already bought it. Try it!”
She solicitously and obsequiously took out the biscuits, tore open the packaging, and fed it to him.
“But I’m still very happy. Thank you.” Lu Qinshang let go of his fingers and opened his mouth to take a bite of the biscuit.
“You’re welcome. As long as you’re happy.” Suisui looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes and said expectantly, “Is it really delicious?”
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. “You haven’t eaten it before?”
Suisui shook her head and asked, “Does it taste the same as what you used to eat?”
“Yes.”
Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that it’s the same.”
The 2,000 yuan didn’t go to waste!
“Do you want to try it?” 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, “My shoulder has been a little sore these past few days. Bend over…”
Suisui immediately bent down obediently and said worriedly, “Big Brother, what’s wrong with your shoulder? I…”
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qinshang raised his head and pressed his lips against hers..
