Chapter 356: Competing for Affection at the Dining Table
Qin Xueru’s words stunned everyone present.
Surprisingly, it was Mr. Su who broke the silence first.
He raised his head to look at his son, then at his precious daughter. He nodded solemnly. “Yes, a daughter is good.”
Su Yuxuan, who had been shot even when he was lying down, “…” No, if you’re talking about a daughter, just say so. Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t think I didn’t see the disgust in your eyes!
When Cheng Xiuqin heard what Mr. Su said, she nodded as well. “Girls are indeed better. You can dress her in pretty dresses and braid her hair. Moreover, you can take her shopping.”
At this point, Cheng Xiuqin sighed and changed the topic. “Yanyan has always been a sweet little cotton candy since she was young. She’s obedient and sensible, and she never made me and her father worry. She’s not like some bastard who cries like a monkey every day from the moment he’s born. When he was only five or six years old, he was already jumping up and down and causing trouble everywhere for me. His father and I were so angry that we wanted to kick him out of the house several times. We might as well have given birth to a mallet.”
The chicken leg that Su Yuxuan had painstakingly lifted with his chopsticks fell into the bowl with a plop. His face was filled with despair.
He must have been picked up from the streets. Even though he was a difficult kid when he was young, it was not his fault that he was young and disobedient.
Who hasn’t been a difficult kid when they were growing up? This was too much!
Su Yayan burst into laughter when she saw her brother’s hopeless expression. Her hand was suddenly grabbed.
Stunned, she turned around and met Huo Chenhuan’s smiling eyes.
The corners of Su Yayan’s lips curled up. She couldn’t be bothered to watch her brother make a fool of himself. She picked up the chopsticks and placed some food into Huo Chenhuan’s bowl.
“Aunt Li’s cooking is not bad. She made a lot of your favorite spicy dishes today. Eat more.”
“Okay.”
Su Yayan’s words seemed to have hit Su Yuxuan and the others’ sore spots. Their expressions changed and they said awkwardly, “It’s not specially made for you. We like it too.”
These words seemed to make it more obvious.
Huo Chenhuan had only taken Su Yayan’s words as an excuse to comfort himself. Now that he heard Su Yuxuan’s words, he was a little uncertain.
Could it be that these dishes were specially made for him?
The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became awkward. Cheng Xiuqin was not as awkward as the father and son. She coughed lightly and took the initiative to pick up a piece of crayfish for Huo Chenhuan.
“You’re married to Yanyan. Our house is your home. Don’t be too restrained and eat more.”
Huo Chenhuan looked at the prawns in his bowl and suddenly understood what Su Yayan meant.
In fact, it was not just him. Cheng Xiuqin and the others were also trying their best to get used to having another family member.
Perhaps they were prideful or clumsy, but they were really trying to accept and care for him in their own unique way.
With that thought in mind, Huo Chenhuan picked up the crayfish, his eyes filled with warmth.
Mr. Su, “Hmph!” My wife picked food for my son-in-law but not me, how annoying!
Su Yuxuan, “Hmph!” Someone who entered through the back door even had others giving him food, but no one cared about him. Who was her son?
Su Yayan noticed their dissatisfaction and smiled. She quickly picked some food for them.
“Dad, Brother, you guys should eat more too.”
The father and son were stunned. They looked at the dishes in the bowl and instantly beamed with joy. They happily ate the dishes. How could they still remember the unhappiness from being ignored earlier?
