Chapter 1392: An Awkward Dinner
He Xiyan and her husband sat together; beside her little son Momo.
Ye Zixi and Jiang Cheng sat on the other side.
Jiang Cheng stood up politely and served everyone a bowl of rice.
“Leave it to me.” He Xiyan wanted to take over the spoon in his hand, but Jiang Cheng didn’t give it to her.
When all this was done, he sat down quietly.
This child was very polite, He Xiyan thought, who seemed to be very sensible, and also respected her daughter. Just now when they got out of the car, it was Jiang Cheng who took the luggage out all alone, while her daughter did not even have a bag in hand.
He Xiyan took the chopsticks and picked a big piece of braised pork rib. However, she did not put it in her own bowl, but in the bowl of her daughter not far away.
Xixi then turned to look at her mother.
“Mom, I’ll do it myself.” Xixi said.
He Xiyan looked at her daughter with a gentle smile. Having not seen her daughter for such a long time, she really missed her. But somehow, when her daughter grew up, she didn’t seem to be willing to share her innermost thoughts with her mother. Every time she chatted with her daughter, she only talked about the most common things in her life. About emotions and feelings, her daughter had never mentioned to her.
It was also recently that she learned that her daughter was with her childhood cla.s.smate.
This time back home, her daughter was dressed up very fas.h.i.+onable. She didn’t know whether she changed her style or had new hobbies.
From time to time, Jiang Cheng would serve food to his daughter, who really appeared to be a considerate boyfriend.
Even He Xiyan felt sweet when watching them.
“Sister, why does brother-in-law only give presents to Mom and Dad and not to me?”
Suddenly, Momo asked a question. He frowned and looked at the elder brother next to his elder sister, and then at his mother.
Turning his round eyes, he seemed quite confused.
(He Xiyan)…
He Xiyan was stunned and turned to look at her son.
Faced with such a question out of nowhere, she didn’t even know how to answer it for a while. Especially that “brother-in-law” out of his mouth, she really didn’t know who let him call like that. She could only look at Ye Hao beside her, wanting him to break the embarra.s.sment.
But Ye Hao just continued to eat without saying anything, as if he didn’t hear that.
At this time, Jiang Cheng picked a big chicken leg for Momo.
The smile on his face was elegant and brilliant, “Momo, I will bring you a gift next time your elder brother is here.”
Jiang Cheng called himself “elder brother” instead of “brother-in-law”. Smart as he was, he certainly knew that he would displease his girlfriend’s parents if he said in that way. After all, he hadn’t been recognized by her parents, especially the future father-in-law, who didn’t seem to like him.
It was supposed to be a warm dinner for the family of four, but the extra outsider made the atmosphere a little awkward.
Ye Hao wore a cold face all along, as if he was not happy.
In the dining hall, however, He Xiyan did not have a good chance to ask her daughter about something.
It wasn’t until after supper that she had the chance to get along with her daughter alone.
She came to her daughter’s room.
At this time, Xixi had changed her clothes and was wearing a purple long dress that she hadn’t taken away from home before.
He Xiyan looked at the gorgeous daughter, who had a tall figure, white skin and delicate facial features.
Without that rag jeans on, her daughter looked much more beautiful at this time, with some lady’s temperament.
