When Xun Shaorong saw Jiang Xingyi, he said happily, “Xiao Yi, you’re here.”
“Auntie, I’m here to take you home.”
“Aiya, that must be so much trouble for you.” Xun Shaorong said embarrassedly, “You’ve been working so hard recently. I’m really sorry for making you rush here. Why don’t you stay for lunch and I’ll prepare some home-cooked dishes for you?”
Xun Shaorong felt that it was inappropriate after she said that. She patted her head and said embarrassedly, “Aiya, I forgot. With my skills, the dishes I cook will definitely not be as delicious as those in a restaurant. Forget it, forget it. Just pretend that I never said that.”
“How can that be? Auntie’s cooking must be very delicious,” Jiang Xingyi said flatteringly. “Then, I will be staying at Auntie’s house this afternoon, please don’t chase me away.”
“You silly child.” Xun Shao smiled. “Alright, alright. Fortunately, I bought extra ingredients yesterday. I have more than enough to prepare today’s lunch.”
Jiang Yu blinked, looking silly and cute.
She softened her voice and said, “I want to eat braised rabbit.”
Jiang Xingyi also smiled.
He imitated the voice on a children’s show and said coquettishly, “Rabbits are so cute. How can you eat rabbits?”
Jiang Yu asked seriously, “Rabbits are cute. Doesn’t that mean they are meant to be eaten?”
Jiang Xingyi burst into laughter. He nodded and said in agreement, “Little Sister makes sense.”
Little Sister was really too cute right now. She was like a cute little white rabbit.
Xun Shaorong lovingly tapped the tip of Jiang Yu’s little nose. “I knew Yu Yu would like to eat this so I bought it yesterday. I promise I’ll feed you a lot today!”
Jiang Yu clapped her hands happily. “Mother Xun is wise!”
After spending some time with Xun Shaorong and An Yimin, she was finally able to say the words ‘mother’and ‘father’.
Although there was an additional surname before that, so they were now ‘Mother Xun’and ‘Father An’, this was already quite an improvement for Jiang Yu.
When Xun Shaorong and An Yimin had first heard these names, they were a little flattered. Jiang Yu had addressed them seriously. Tears almost fell from their eyes.
It was as if the treasure in their hearts that they had let go had finally returned to their embrace.
At that time, the two of them were still worried that the Jiang family would be unhappy if they heard this, but Jiang Yu had always been very persistent in her decisions.
She said, “You guys raised me in the first place. What’s wrong with calling you two my parents?”
Then, they saw that Jiang Xingyi and Jiang Zeyu didn’t have any objections to this form of address, so they didn’t say anything else with mixed feelings.
On the side, Jiang Jingnian saw how happy they were. He didn’t know why but his heart felt a little… itchy.
It was as if he was an outsider who was isolated by a glass barrier. Behind the glass barrier was a united and loving family. He watched their interactions from the side and was blocked out by their intimacy.
Jiang Yu raised her eyes and noticed Jiang Jingnian.
She asked, “Mother Xun, can we have another pair of chopsticks at home?”
“Of course! Are there any other guests coming?” Xun Shaorong agreed immediately. “Don’t worry, Yu Yu. Just ask for whatever you need. We have enough food, bowls, and chopsticks.”
Jiang Xingyi understood what Jiang Yu was trying to say.
He glanced at Jiang Jingnian.
Jiang Yu had already asked the question.
She looked up at Jiang Jingnian and asked, “Do you want to have a meal together?”
