However, he was thoroughly enjoying it. Ninety per cent of the news about Zhou Hengyang came from Cousin Xiaoxiao—especially the less flattering bits, which undoubtedly originated from him.
Zhou Hengyang was well aware of his little cousin’s inclinations, so he purposefully displayed affection in front of him, taking it as a public announcement. They were indirectly showcasing their love to everyone.
Zhou Hengyang patted Su Wen’s head. “What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing!” Su Wen realized that Cousin Xiaoxiao, Hengyang, and Zhou Hengguang were all out of the ordinary.
One was black-bellied and enigmatic.
The second was a ruffian with an unpredictable personality.
The third was nothing short of a monster, a cultured scoundrel, a beast in human clothing.
Oh my god!
She felt a sense of danger just thinking about it!
“Don’t let your imagination run wild,” Zhou Hengyang knew that his wife was prone to flights of fancy.
He dreaded the idea of Su Wen getting lost in her thoughts. If she were to lock herself in the room like yesterday, he would go crazy.
“Okay!” Su Wen obediently agreed.
Now that he was the hero of the family, of course, she had to spoil him.
“Let’s go in and talk. The food is ready. We’ve been waiting for you two to come back!” It was past one o’clock. If they didn’t return soon, Su Wen couldn’t keep He Changming waiting. After all, he was a guest.
“I’m starving. Su Wen, hurry up.” Xu Xiaoxiao strode ahead.
Upon entering the courtyard, Zhou Hengyang introduced He Changming and his little cousin to the group. The four men washed their hands, took their seats, and began eating!
Su Wen busied herself with serving the dishes and arranging the bowls and chopsticks. He Changming offered to help, but his offer was promptly declined.
“Brother, you’re not our family member yet!” his younger cousin said seriously.
“Why would I ask you for help?”
Changming’s handsome face darkened, and he shot his little cousin a murderous look.
“Brother, don’t look at me like that. Did I say something wrong?” His younger cousin scratched his head innocently, not comprehending the issue.
“Forget it! Who doesn’t have a troublesome younger brother?” Zhou Hengyang, rarely finding someone pleasing, chimed in.
“That makes sense.”
Su Wen sat on the side with a pair of chopsticks in her hand. She could sense it.
He Changming’s little cousin was mischievous!
In this brief period, Xu Xiaoxiao had already dug into the food, paying little attention to the ongoing conversation. His chopsticks never halted, and he displayed a discerning palate. Astonishingly, he could distinguish the flavours of the dishes prepared by Su Wen and Su Xiu.
After all, Su Xiu’s culinary skills had been trained over time.
“Su Wen, you made this red-braised pork. Not bad. I miss red-braised pork the most in the capital,” Xu Xiaoxiao commented, showing no sign of being a guest. It was understandable since it was his first time here and he wasn’t familiar with the formalities.
Now that the two families had become relatives, they were family, and there was no need for formality.
“Call her sister-in-law,” Zhou Hengyang playfully knocked his cousin’s head.
He Changming exchanged a knowing look with him, conveying, ‘See! Who doesn’t have a troublesome younger brother?’
Xu Xiaoxiao halted what he was doing, and his striking appearance left his little cousin awestruck.
His younger cousin had encountered numerous handsome men—those with rugged charm, towering height, or refined elegance. Yet, a man more beautiful than a woman was truly a rare sight. Although handsome with fair, jade-like skin, he emanated no trace of femininity..
