If only he had known earlier that he would not ask, he would have treated the other party as a big boss now that he was about to serve him food.
"Half a bowl is good enough." The man looked at her, his expression unchanging and his heart remaining calm. He looked at her very naturally and sincerely.
"Today is Sunday, so let's go back to see our parents. They might be bored when they have nothing to do at home." As Shen Ling ate the half bowl of porridge Su Qiu had prepared for her, he revealed his purpose for coming today.
"I've already called Mom. Let's go pick her up later."
"Alright."
After a simple meal, the two packed up and drove back to the Shen family's residence.
"Xiao Qiu, your mother misses you." Seeing that his daughter-in-law had returned, Ceng Jiarou smiled happily. She quickly walked over and embraced her, excitedly talking about her thoughts, as if she was acting spoiled.
Su Qiu also hugged her back, feeling the love of a mother, not willing to let go. "I miss you too, Mom."
The two of them hugged each other for a long time before separating. Ceng Jiarou pulled Su Qiu's hand and looked left and right, her pampering expression clearly showed on her face, "You've both lost weight. You're definitely not going to listen to me and only focus on your work and not eating properly."
Su Qiu really enjoyed her mother-in-law's concern for her. This made her feel like her mother was concerned for her too, making her want to get closer to her.
Seeing the two of them standing at the entrance and not entering, Shen Ling really liked them. This was the kind of simple life he yearned for, having his parents, a wife, a family that was happy and well off.
"Mom, are you planning to stand here forever?" In truth, he wanted to prove that he had returned as well. However, his mother was too focused on trying to get along with her son that he couldn't even see her own son. Honestly speaking, he was very jealous.
Listening to his son's voice, Ceng Jiarou saw that her son was still there, and looked at him with a wronged expression, then spoke in embarrassment: "Seeing how excited I am, I forgot to have you guys come in first. Let's go, son, let's go in." As she said that, she pulled Su Qiu's hand and walked in.
He was afraid that he was not his mother's son, so he ridiculed her a few times. Then, with a doting smile on his face, he shook his head and entered the living room.
It didn't matter. His mother had been with his wife for a long time. As for him, he should feel more wronged.
Our CEO Shen's self-recovery ability is still very strong.
"Dad." Su Qiu called out gently as he entered the living room and saw Shenfu practicing his golf swing in front of the French doors.
"You're back?" Shenfu raised his head upon hearing his voice. Although he still had a serious face, his expression was gentle and he did not look cold at all.
Su Qiu knew that her father-in-law had a character like this, so she didn't mind.
"Look at your dad, he's been waving around all morning. I don't know if he hit a ball or not, but he's been putting on airs all this time. I'm sick of watching him." Ceng Jiarou started to curse Shenfu crazily, but her tone was not really annoyed, it was full of blaming happiness.
Seeing that his wife did not even give him any face in front of his son and daughter-in-law, Shenfu could not help but shake his head. He looked at the arrogant and spoiled Ceng Jiarou tenderly, not willing to say anything against her.
Seeing her parentage, which could make people jealous of her love, she felt envious and moved, but at the same time, she felt a little relieved. In her heart, she felt a little better when she and Shen Ling left to stay with the two old men at home.
After Shen Ling entered, he accompanied Shenfu and Yue Yang to discuss how the company was practicing golf and chess.
"Madame is back." Auntie Liu came out of the kitchen with Su Qiu's cup of water. She was extremely excited, and her footsteps were much faster.
Su Qiu was very excited to see Auntie Liu, she stood up and received the cup of water from the sofa, "Thank you Auntie."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Auntie Liu rubbed her hands on her apron. She was very happy, but she kept saying those words.
Su Qiu also liked this aunt a lot, she had long treated her as her family. This aunt had her own pride, and would not treat all the women who came to the house with ill intentions, only towards her, she truly liked and doted on her.
"What are you eating for lunch? Auntie, you're missing your cooking skills living outside." Not wanting to make the atmosphere become a little sad, Su Qiu asked like a spoiled daughter.
"Madam has already instructed me that everything I've cooked today is your and Sir's favorite food. Madam said that it wasn't easy for all of you to come back, so I must let you eat until it tastes like home." Auntie Liu looked at Su Qiu lovingly, so excited that her face was a little red.
"Alright, I can't wait." Su Qiu seemed to be very much looking forward to it, as she said happily.
"Just a moment. I'll be done soon." Hearing that, Auntie Liu smiled and comforted her, then quickly went into the kitchen to continue working.
"Mom thanks you for thinking so much about me." Su Qiu was really moved by her mother-in-law's instructions for her to sit and eat. She really looked like her mother.
Every time he returned from a long journey, his mother would cook a table for him and watch him eat. It was as if he had fled from the outside and hadn't eaten for more than ten days. At that time, he would impatiently despise his mother's concern for him and feel that he was too restrained.
But who knew how many times he dreamt that his mother would wake up from her sleep and then miss his parents until daybreak. He wanted to make them worry him too much, but he didn't have the chance.
However, the heavens were kind, as if they knew her regret, allowing her to meet her mother-in-law and Auntie Liu. They took care of her like how their mothers took care of them, giving her their mother's love in exchange for their love. She was truly thankful to the heavens.
"Silly child, if mother doesn't remember her child, who will she remember? "You're not allowed to be so courteous in the future. Mom is good to you, and you should be the one to take it for granted. Only then will Mom and Dad be happy, do you understand?" Ceng Jiarou instructed her in a half gentle and half domineering manner, and showed a stern face while pretending to be a little angry.
