Chapter 331: Apology from the "Love Rival"

"You guys have been busy since early in the morning, so I have to do something to return the favor. Besides, when you come here, is it not just to have a bite of the food I cook?" Su Man teased her with a smile.

Qiao Shixin pouted sweetly and chuckled.

Su Man got up and washed. While Doudou was still sleeping, she changed into a simple spring outfit. Listening to the hustle and bustle outside the yard, she put on some light makeup to create a spring atmosphere.

When I got downstairs, I heard the conversation between Chen Ma and Qiao Shixin coming from the kitchen:

"Ms. Shi Xin, are you sure this is really feasible?"

"OK!"

"But, it hasn't responded..."

"It's so strange! I went to a pastry shop a few days ago and learned from the chef. When I made it at the shop, it was indeed possible, but why can't I make this cream now?"

"How about we search online and look up some tutorials?"

"All right……"

Su Man carried Doudou downstairs. Doudou probably heard everyone's noise, his eyebrows frowned, and his eyeballs moved under his eyelids.

Just as she was about to cry, Aunt Chen came over quickly and said, "Miss, come here, let me take care of the young master. How did you sleep last night? Did the child bother you?"

"He goes to sleep after eating. He's very well behaved."

"Young master is so worry-free. He has been so sensible since he was young. When he grows up, he will definitely be a good boy who knows how to love his mother." Aunt Chen praised.

Qiao Shiyan came in carrying a paper lantern.

As soon as he saw Doudou, he was reluctant to put down the lantern and came over to poke the child's face.

Su Man came close to him and asked in a low voice:

"How did you know today is my birthday?"

Qiao Shiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "My dear wife, after all, we are both printed in the same red book. I don't even know this. Am I really incompetent?"

Suman was speechless.

That’s true.

Both of them took their ID cards to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register. How careless must they be to not know each other's date of birth?

Last year, on Qiao Shiyan’s birthday, she prepared a birthday gift and a big meal for him.

"What do you want for lunch? Order now and have the restaurant deliver it directly." Qiao Shiyan asked.

Su Man's eyes widened: "I agreed to cook."

"Shi Xin is joking, you don't have to take it seriously."

"I'm serious." Su Man said, "Besides, I'm going out now to the supermarket to pick out some food. Do you want to come with me?"

Qiao Shiyan hesitated for two seconds, put down the lantern, and patted the dust off his hands. "Of course I want to come with you. I'll be your driver!"

Su Man smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents.

The two of them went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. After returning, Su Man immediately started cooking and Qiao Shiyan helped Su Man.

In two hours, a table full of rich ingredients was presented to everyone.

"Wow~ It's so rich!!" Qiao Shixin stood on the table with shining eyes.

"Try it. I haven't cooked for a long time, so my hands are a little rusty. Take a look and see if it tastes the same as before." Su Man pulled out a chair for her.

Aunt Chen prepared bowls and chopsticks and served the food for everyone.

Qiao Shixin sat down on the chair and turned to Su Man behind her and said coquettishly: "As soon as I smelled the food, I knew that your cooking skills are still the same as before. It's delicious! Anyway, I love everything you cook."

"That's right. If you dare to say it's not delicious, I will take away your bowl and chopsticks. You can go eat grass outside the corridor." Qiao Shiyan teased her.

Qiao Shixin's attitude towards Su Man has returned to the way it was when Su Man came to the Qiao family as a tutor.

It was as if the incident with Song Lin had never happened, and her relationship with Su Man was not affected at all.

But I don’t know if Su Man is too sensitive, Su Man always feels that the little girl is pretending to be strong.

Just as Su Man was thinking this, Qiao Shiyan asked, "Where's Song Lin? Can he come over today?"

"I don't know." Qiao Shixin had already picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork ribs, and started chewing on it, mumbling a vague agreement.

"have no idea?"

"I haven't seen him in over two weeks."

Su Man and Qiao Shiyan looked at each other.

Qiao Shixin said nonchalantly, "I told him that we would come here to celebrate Teacher Su's birthday today, but he didn't give me a firm answer."

"I heard that he joined his aunt's government unit. I guess he just started and is quite busy." Qiao Shiyan comforted his sister.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Shixin looked indifferent:

"Whatever. I'm used to it. Marriage doesn't seem that good. On the contrary, being alone makes me feel freer and more relaxed."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head, her lips gleaming with the grease from the ribs: "Of course! I'm not saying that it's bad for you to get married, brother and sister-in-law."

She took a tissue, wiped her mouth, picked up the chopsticks and picked up "Let me try this dish. I have never eaten this made by you, sister-in-law!"

Qiao Shixin is now more interested in food than in Song Lin.

It was completely different from before when she cared a lot about Song Lin.

Qiao Shiyan was a little worried and wanted to ask more questions, but Su Man gave him a look and Qiao Shiyan took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Su Man greeted, "Eat, eat. Aunt Chen, you should sit down and eat with us. It's just the few of us, so there aren't too many rules."

The meal seemed lively and worry-free.

In fact, everyone has their own thoughts.

Halfway through the meal, Qiao Shiyan received a call and was about to get up and go out. "I'm going to open the door and get something."

"Someone is coming?" Su Man was surprised.

“No, it’s a flash delivery service.”

When Qiao Shiyan came back, he was carrying a large shopping bag of a well-known luxury brand.

"Wow, brother! Is this the gift you gave to your sister-in-law? A bag?" Qiao Shixin stretched her neck.

"I don't know if it's a bag. It's not from me. I'll give you my gift tonight." Qiao Shiyan said mysteriously, handing the shopping bag to Su Man, "This is a gift from Luna to you."

"Your female colleague?" Su Man widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

The thought of Luna targeting him because of Qiao Shiyan immediately popped into his mind.

"Yeah." Qiao Shiyan nodded and said with a smile, "She said that she was too offensive to you before. This gift can be regarded as an apology to you. By the way, let me help her say happy birthday to you."

Su Man felt that the gift was a bit hot.

This bag is no longer available in ordinary counters, and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

She won't accept any reward without any merit!

Moreover, he is a "rival in love"

Suman asked, "Does she also know that today is my birthday?"

"Actually, she didn't know at first. But didn't we go to the supermarket today? Coincidentally, she was there too, and she messaged me afterwards, asking me about it, so I told her. Unexpectedly, she went out and bought a bag herself, then told me she'd ordered a flash delivery service to bring it over for you. And just now, she called me to pick it up."

Su Man's first reaction was surprise.

My second instinct wasn't right.

She and Qiao Shiyan were together from the time they went to the supermarket to the time they went home, but she didn't know that Qiao Shiyan had been chatting and contacting Luna.

In just a few hours, Qiao Shiyan and Luna had completed a "conspiracy".

Su Man knew that Luna was going to work at Qiao Shiyan's new office, but she didn't know that Luna and Qiao Shiyan had such a close relationship.
