Gu Huanhuan wiped away her tears, then handed the warm sunlight over to the nanny and began preparing dinner.
Mrs. Wen sat in the living room, her face somewhat somber, feeling that Gu Huanhuan was brushing her off and giving her a cold shoulder.@@novelbin@@
Gu Huanhuan made four dishes and a soup, which were no longer a challenge for her and tasted quite good.
Just as she was about to serve the dishes, Wen Chi returned home.
Seeing his mother, Wen Chi was startled. She had come without any warning or greeting.
Then he saw his wife, who was setting the table.
He first greeted his mother, âMom, youâre here?â
âWhat? Canât I come over?â Mrs. Wenâs tone was a bit sharp.
Wen Chi was taken aback. What was up with this ancestor this time?
âWelcome, welcome. Why didnât you let me pick you up?â Wen Chi went over and sat down beside her.
âI can come on my own, but I guess Iâm being unwelcome now.â Mrs. Wen said this while unconsciously glancing toward the kitchen.
Wen Chi saw and understood what was happening. It was really troublesome.
âWhy would that be? Weâre all happy that youâre here. Let me check if the dinner is ready.â Wen Chi stood up and walked into the kitchen.
Gu Huanhuan saw Wen Chi and did not want to speak.
Wen Chi walked up to her, hugged her from behind, and whispered in her ear, âHoney, Iâm sorry you had to go through this.â
Wen Chi was a smart man. Seeing the atmosphere wasnât right, he had guessed what was going on.
âItâs fine, letâs eat,â Gu Huanhuan said indifferently.
Then, she walked out of the kitchen, followed by Wen Chi like a dutiful wife.
âMom, dinnerâs ready,â Gu Huanhuan called out.
During dinner, Wen Chi sat between his mother and wife, truly finding himself in a dilemma.
He served dishes to Mrs. Wen and also to Huanhuan, not missing anyone.
Fortunately, during the meal, both women were calm and didnât bring up any sensitive topics.
After Mrs. Wen left, Wen Chi took Gu Huanhuan to sit on the couch.
âWen Chi, has Mom talked to you about us having a second child, and telling me to keep a low profile?â Gu Huanhuan stared at him, trying to read his expression to see if he was lying.
âOh, she did mention it, but I said thereâs no rush, and that you shouldnât take her words to heart. Just do what you love,â Wen Chi comforted her.
Gu Huanhuan still seemed a bit downcast.

The next day, Wen Chi finished work a bit earlier, freshened up, and then called Gu Huanhuan, asking her to get ready because he would take her out for dinner later.
Gu Huanhuan was stunned, not quite able to react. He had been busy recently and hadnât made such a romantic gesture in a long time.
At 6:30 pm, sitting in a high-end Western restaurant in the city center, Gu Huanhuan felt a mix of emotions and was a bit puzzled why Wen Chi was spending so much. Was it really just because of what Mrs. Wen had said yesterday?
Wen Chi elegantly held a high stem glass, looked at the puzzled girl across from him, and couldnât help but chuckle, âWhat are you pondering?â
Gu Huanhuan sighed, resting her small face on her hands as she looked at him, âAre you trying to make it up to me because of what Mom said?â
âSilly dear, youâre overthinking it. I just felt like Iâve been neglecting you lately. Really, you donât have to take her words to heart. Whatever you do, Iâll support you,â Wen Chiâs dark eyes fixed on Gu Huanhuan, his voice resolute.
âThank you, hubby,â Gu Huanhuan felt a bit better. She cared so much about the words of his family members because she loved this man deeply.
Gu Huanhuan faintly felt that this issue might be a ticking time bomb.
Shortly after, a delicious meal was served, and Wen Chi and Gu Huanhuan quietly ate.
