Mr. Lan and the rest didn’t know about Su Yayan, so they didn’t react much.
However, the thought of it was still a token of Su Yayan’s sincerity. Besides, the ginseng that Su Yayan had given them during Old Master Lan’s birthday still made them sigh in envy. Hence, they did not stop Yan Xiaoran and Lan Minghan from accepting it.
Seeing Lan Minghan take the things over, Mrs. Lan said, “Just nice, it’s getting late. Let’s eat first. We can talk later.”
Yan Xiaoran and her husband were extremely curious about the contents of the box and hence, did not have any objections.
Su Yayan and Huo Chenhuan were guests. Since the host had spoken, they naturally had no objections.
The group moved to the dining table in the inner room. There were many Lan family members and most of them lived together. The dining table was especially big.
The two oldest elders were sitting in the main seats, with Mr. Lan, Mrs. Lan, and Huo Chenhuan sitting on the other side.
Logically speaking, Lan Minghan and his wife should sit next to Mr. and Mrs. Lan, followed by Lan Jiaye.
However, Yan Xiaoran was curious about the contents of the thermos container. Without much thought, she sat beside Su Yayan.
Lan Minghan followed his wife wherever she went and sat beside her.
Lan Jiaye was a second too late. When he realized that the seats beside Su Yayan were filled, he was stunned for a moment before he sat down beside Mrs. Lan. He was puzzled by his eldest brother and sister-in-law’s warm feelings for Su Yayan.
Mrs. Lan was surprised to see this too. She smiled and asked, “When did Xiaoran become so close to Yayan?”
She realized that she was being a little rude. Before she could say anything, Su Yayan smiled and said, “When Uncle Lan was celebrating his birthday, Xiaoran chatted with me for a while. Coincidentally, my aunt was pregnant too. I had some common topics with Xiaoran, so we spoke more.”
Everyone was enlightened by her words. The best topic to talk about was the child.
Although Su Yayan didn’t have a child yet, she had relatives who were close to her. Hence, it was easy for them to get to know each other.
Everyone thought that they had found out the truth, but Yan Xiaoran was still in a daze. Before Su Yayan spoke, she had no idea that Su Yayan’s aunt was pregnant, let alone discuss it with her.
However, on second thought, Su Yayan would often use the excuse of “someone in my family is unwell and needs nourishment” to create medicinal cuisine related to illnesses.
Thinking back, the medicinal cuisine she drank back then was made for this aunt, and she just happened to have a baby?
Mrs. Lan had been in a good mood recently because her son and daughter-in-law were expecting a baby. Her eyes lit up when she heard Su Yayan’s words. “Your aunt is pregnant too?”
“Yes, she’s more than eight months into her pregnancy.”
“Oh, since she’s more than eight months along, isn’t she about to give birth?”
“Yes, her due date is about a month away. Chenhuan and I are planning to go over in a few weeks to visit her. There are not many people on her side and my aunt is not young anymore. If we go over, we can help to take care of her so that they won’t panic and cause trouble.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Lan nodded in understanding and agreed. “It’s only right. Pregnancy is already hard, and giving birth is even harder. At this time, having a few more family members to help you will save you a lot of suffering and make you feel better.”
