In the restaurant~
Jin made a lot of delicious breakfast today, and just as Jian Dan was about to start eating, she heard, âUncle Chu, I havenât had much of an appetite lately, and all I want is the chicken soup noodles you make! Could you make them for me?â
Wow~ This is a clear declaration of war! Alright, Iâll give you what you want. âUncle, since Xi Rui wants it, go ahead and make it for her!â
Chen Xirui certainly didnât expect Jian Dan to react like this, but Chu Liyuan just curled the corner of his mouth, âJian Jian wants some too, right?â
âHehe~ Uncle, you really do know me well!â
âJust wait~â@@novelbin@@
Chen Xiruiâs face turned very unpleasant, as Jian Dan played it out, making the noodles seem like they were made for her, reducing her to a mere afterthought.
That lass was still like that yesterday, wasnât she? How could she become a different person overnight? It seems there must have been a mastermind behind the scenes, not to be taken lightly.
When Chu Liyuan went to make the noodles, Chen Xirui said to Jian Dan, âIâve been by Uncle Chuâs side since I was very young, Iâm the person who understands him best.â
âThe person who understands Uncle best? Then do you know how many moles he has on his body? Do you know on which side he likes to sleep when he does? Andâ¦â
âEnough~â Chen Xirui interrupted, afraid she might hear something she wasnât supposed to.
âMy relationship with Uncle Chu is very good, thereâs no one who can replace our place in each otherâs heart.â
âIs that so? I was just saying something similar!
But our positions are different, youâll see how Uncle treats us to know.â
Jian Dan just wanted to make it clear to Chen Xirui that what Uncle does with her could never happen with Chen Xirui.
But the reverse might not necessarily be true.
âAll youâre doing is relying on Uncle Chu liking you now, but the day he stops liking you, youâll be nothing!â
âAnd when will that day be? All I know is that Uncle has loved me for nearly ten years, and this love has not lessened over time, itâs only grown stronger!â Jian Dan replied without showing any weakness.
âI~â Before Chen Xirui could continue, Chu Liyuan emerged from the kitchen with the noodles.
The confrontation between the two had to pause for the moment.
âAh! This is the taste, it hasnât changed a bit!â Chen Xirui said, looking at the bowl of noodles before her.
Hmph~ You think this is going to hurt me?
If you love eating dog food so much, then Iâll make sure you get your fill today.
âUncle, I donât have any strength in my hands, I canât even pick up the chopsticks, will you feed me, please?â
Upon hearing Jian Danâs words, Chen Xiruiâs grasp on her own chopsticks tightened involuntarily.
She couldnât believe Chu Liyuan would really feed Jian Dan, because when she was sick as a child, Uncle Chu never personally fed her.
But~
Right in front of her, Chu Liyuan lifted the bowl and skillfully picked up the noodles with chopsticks to feed Jian Dan, in such a natural and practiced motion that it was obvious this was not the first time.
Chen Xiruiâs heart felt as if it were being pressed by a heavy stone, it was especially uncomfortable, and even breathing seemed difficult.
âMmm! So delicious!â
âLook at you, getting food all over your face!â He picked up a napkin from the table and wiped Jian Danâs mouth.
That doting gesture was like a fatal poison burning Chen Xiruiâs heart.
Chen Xirui couldnât take it anymore, âIâm full, I have some things to do today, Iâm going to head out first.â She fled from Li Garden as if escaping.
After Chen Xirui left, Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan with amusement, âWhat do you think? Had enough fun?â
âItâs alright! Besides, it wasnât me who started it, she provoked me first!â
âWhy do you have to compete with a kid?â
âWhatâs wrong with kids? Besides, she isnât a kid anymore. If she is a kid, then so am I!â Jian Dan pouted as she spoke.
Only then did Chu Liyuan remember, his Jian Jian was actually a year younger than Xiao Ying!
Itâs just that in his heart, Xiao Ying was a child, and Jian Jian was his woman, thus he unconsciously overlooked this fact!
