"Aren't you going to help me?" Zhu Jiangci glanced at the little girl who was sitting on a high stool and leisurely eating some fruits with both her legs.
A quarter of an hour ago, Su Qiao An had vowed to come and help, but now, he just sat on the chair and watched. He even told Qiao Er to bring over fruits and hot milk tea and eat them while watching.
Su Qiao An bit off the cherry and said unclearly, "I'm here to help you! I give you absolute support in spirit. Do you not feel my strong and passionate feelings? "
With his back facing her, Zhu Jiangci did not say a single word, and selectively ignored the words that she had just said.
Qiao Er, who was outside the kitchen door, laughed secretly when he heard Su Qiao An's words.
It seems that after two years, Young Mistress's temper has become more active and outgoing than before.
When the two of them were together in the past, they would either be so restless that they would not like each other, or be so quiet that they would not even say a single word.
She had been by Su Qiao An's side for a period of time, and had personally witnessed how Su Qiao An would pass those long and cold waiting days.
She accompanied Su Qiao An and waited every day, unable to come up with a solution.
When Su Qiao An was pregnant, Zhu Jiangci even caught the other women.
It was because she saw it too clearly that she had once hated Zhu Jiangci after Su Qiao An left after his miscarriage. It was just that, because he was her master, she didn't dare to say anything to him.
And then …
Then, Su Qiao An completely left the Chu Family, and left the city. It was as if he had never appeared.
She thought that Zhu Jiangci would impatiently marry that woman back, and that a new mistress would appear here.
But she was wrong.
Zhu Jiangci was bored here for a period of time. He didn't even go out the door, didn't even eat his food, and didn't see anyone.
Until then, she thought, perhaps the young master wasn't as indifferent to the young mistress as they had imagined. After all, the young mistress still had his child in her womb.
Even if the child was gone, he would still be sad, right?
When he thought about them from the past, Qiao Er saw the harmonious atmosphere they were in and he felt happy for them from the bottom of his heart.
— —
"Zhu Jiangci." Su Qiao An called him.
Seeing that he didn't respond, she stretched out her leg and kicked his leg, "I'm calling you!"
"What's wrong?" Zhu Jiangci turned around and looked at her.
Su Qiao An waved for him to go over, and he helplessly went over.
The moment he lowered his body, Su Qiao An stuffed a cherry into his mouth and said smilingly, "Don't say that I ate by myself, I've been missing you all the time."
Her small mouth was opening and closing, more alluring than a cherry.
The man's eyes gradually became dark and deep. He nibbled on the cherry and put his hand on the back of her head.
Su Qiao An was stunned.
The person in front of her was very close. She could only see that her black eyes, which were originally filled with mist, seemed to have opened up the mist, revealing a bright smile.
Cherry was bitten into pieces, and there was a sweet and sour taste in his mouth.
He bit into it only a little, hiding the cherry, pressing his lips together, trying to absorb it.
There was no sound from inside, Qiao Er suspiciously looked inside, and immediately became red from blushing.
The scene was both picturesque and heart-racing.
She was a woman who had never married before and didn't have a boyfriend. Her mouth was dry and her mouth was shy.
He quickly left, not daring to stay any longer.
Kitchen
Su Qiao An was still sitting there in a daze, blinking her watery eyes.
The corner of Zhu Jiangci's mouth curved into an extremely shallow arc, "Remember, that's what you call it."
"..." "You scoundrel."
Seeing that he was smiling like a fox, Su Qiao An kicked him unhappily.
Only when he turned around did she cover her face with her hands. Her cheeks were slightly hot.
She poked at the bulge on her left cheek and chewed the half-eaten cherry twice.
Ignoring Zhu Jiangci's occasional harassment and taking advantage of the situation, the entire process of cooking could be said to be very harmonious and happy.
She saw that Zhu Jiangci not only knew how to make dumplings, but also how to make dumplings.
This was indeed something that he had spent a great deal of effort to learn. The things he had produced were all so beautiful and pleasing to the eyes.
She sat on the stool and helped wrap the dumplings. She felt an itch in her nose and rubbed the back of her hand against the tip of her nose.
Zhu Jiangci glanced at her, saw the little bit of whiteness on the tip of her nose, and chuckled.
"What?" She didn't hear clearly.
Zhu Jiangci touched Su Qiao An's face with his flour stained hands and touched her flour all over, "Little Flower Cat."
She rubbed the back of her hand against her cheek, then rubbed it against the flour on the back of her hand, glaring at him. "Why are you so childish!"
"Mrs. Chu, you don't have to be so angry." "Anyway, you're beautiful, so it doesn't matter if you spend your face."
"…"
She choked.
Should she continue to pursue his childish behavior, or should she shyly respond to his praise?
After all, no matter how he dealt the cards, Su Qiao An could not stand his tiresome attitude anymore.
Ignoring his teasing, she lowered her head and focused on wrapping the dumplings.
After they finished wrapping up the two plates of dumplings, Qiao Er came over to the kitchen to call them.
"Young Master, Young Mistress, Madam has sent word that you are going to have a reunion dinner later."
Su Qiao An and Zhu Jiangci looked at each other, and Zhu Jiangci's expression remained the same, "Tell her that we will be there."
"Alright." Qiao Er unconsciously raised his head. Seeing the flour on Su Qiao An's face, he couldn't help but curl his lips and smile, but he quickly withdrew it back, trying his best to hold it in.
He pretended as if he didn't see anything as he lowered his head and walked outside. When he walked far away, he even heard a sound coming from the kitchen.
"It's all your fault! You must have been teased by someone! "
"Alright, alright, alright. It's all my fault. How do you want to punish me?"
Qiao Er sighed with emotion, the relationship between Young Mistress and the Young Master was really good now! Good to the point of making one sick of it.
Before dinner, Zhu Jiangci had already prepared the ingredients and was waiting for the dishes to be cooked.
He was afraid that Su Qiao An was hungry, hence he prepared to cook the dumplings first.
When he carried it out, Su Qiao An, who was already tired, curled up on the sofa and slept.
Qiao Er shook his head lightly and said in a low voice, "Young mistress has fallen asleep."
Hearing that, Zhu Jiangci waved for her to leave.
Only after Qiao Er left did he slowly approach.
The person on the sofa had a thin blanket covering him, and he was curled up into a ball. It seemed that he was still very cold.
Zhu Jiangci frowned, he bent down and carefully picked her up from the sofa.
Qiao Er did not know that the current Su Qiao An was very afraid of the cold, nor did he know that Su Qiao An had injured her body due to the preterm birth, and could not bear the cold anymore. That was why he allowed her to curl up on the sofa and sleep like this.
Zhu Jiangci didn't know how long she had slept for, but just as he was worrying if she had caught a cold or not, Su Qiao An woke up.
