Chen Yanqiu came to the dining table, ignored Zhu Mingchuan who was trying to be attentive to Zhu's mother, and sat directly on the other side of Zhu's mother.

Usually, the seats of the family of three were Chen Yanqiu sitting opposite Zhu's mother, but now the situation had changed, and Zhu Mingchuan immediately felt nervous.

He glanced at his "daughter", his dissatisfaction was clear. This little girl always went against him today! His wife was his, and he had to defend his sovereignty!

He retracted his gaze, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of Zhu's mother, raised a smile that he thought was perfect, and said: "Wife, try this, you like it the most!"

Without waiting for Mother Zhu to answer, Chen Yanqiu followed suit and also picked up a piece of food for Mother Zhu with a chopstick, raised a well-behaved smile, and said, "Mom, try this, I picked it up."

After Chen Yanqiu finished speaking, Zhu Mingchuan put down his chopsticks heavily and stared at Zhu's mother closely, as if he was expecting and afraid, not missing any of her expressions.

Zhu's mother looks to the left, and this is her husband who has been with her through thick and thin but is always shameless; then she turns her head to look to the right, and this is her daughter who is well-behaved and sensible but always goes against her husband recently.

No matter whose food you eat, the other one will always be anxious.

She didn't understand why this father and daughter were so childish. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't do this, okay?

Zhu's mother stopped looking at them, picked up another dish and started eating.

Zhu Mingchuan glared at Chen Yanqiu complainingly, as if to say: It's all your fault, you ruined my good thing!

Chen Yanqiu glared back: Hehe, I did it on purpose!

The two of them started the eye-to-eye fight without showing any weakness. If Zhu's mother looked up at them, she would find that the similar eyes and eyebrows of the father and daughter both revealed their unwillingness to accept each other.

The two looked at each other for a long time, neither of them said a word, just looking at each other.

Finally, Shen Yanqiu closed his eyes. He was tired.

A look of victory appeared on Zhu Mingchuan's face. He won, which made him happier than signing a big deal.

The two of them could finally eat in peace, and Zhu's mother was very relieved.

At this moment, Mrs. Li brought out another plate from the kitchen, which contained baked pumpkin with cheese!

Zhu Mingchuan looked at Mrs. Li in confusion. Just as he was about to ask, his wife put one of the portions in front of her "daughter": "You loved eating pumpkin the most when you were a child. I asked Mrs. Li to make it. Try it and see if it tastes good."

Chen Yanqiu is not picky about food, so the pumpkin in front of him should be considered a dessert. The cheese and pumpkin are perfectly blended, with a golden color and a fragrant aroma. Even if he doesn't like desserts, he still wants to have a taste.

He took it from Zhu's mother, and before he ate it, he met two pairs of sparkling eyes. Zhu's mother looked at him tenderly, while Zhu Mingchuan was curious.

It's just eating a pumpkin, what's so strange about that? Zhu Mingchuan is really surprised!

He took a bite, and the steaming pumpkin stretched into long thin threads. The sweetness of the pumpkin and the milky aroma of the cheese emanated all at once, filling his mouth with rich flavor.

"Is it delicious?" Zhu Mingchuan asked in confusion, looking at his enjoying expression.

Chen Yanqiu had food in his mouth and couldn't speak. He could only nod and take another big bite, showing with practical actions that it was delicious.

The moment Shen Yanqiu took the pumpkin, Zhu's mother looked at her "daughter" in front of her without blinking, until "she" took the first bite without hesitation, then she closed her eyes tremblingly, clasped her hands, and trembled slightly under the table.

She couldn't hear what the "father and daughter" next to her were saying at all, and was just immersed in her own world.

"Mom, don't you want to eat?" Shen Yanqiu asked her.

Mother Zhu was brought back to her senses by this voice. She turned to look at her "daughter" with a complex look in her eyes that Shen Yanqiu could not understand.

"Oh, I'll eat it now."

She took the pumpkin from Shen Yanqiu's hand and put it into her mouth mechanically.

Zhu Mingchuan had quickly finished the one in his hand, and now his hands were empty. Seeing that his wife hadn't eaten yet, he immediately offered his courtesy: "Wife, let me feed you."

Before Zhu's mother did anything, Chen Yanqiu couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and looked at him with disgust, despising his shameless behavior of trying to please his wife.

Zhu's mother let him take the pumpkin from her hand, and when he put it to his mouth, she said, "You eat it, I don't want to eat it now."

Zhu Mingchuan used his old trick again, trying to act pitiful and win his wife's sympathy.

But this time, not only did his wife not sympathize with him, she didn't even look at him, stood up and left without saying a word.

Zhu Mingchuan was discouraged, but he did not give up.

After glaring at his "daughter" who was watching the fun, Zhu Mingchuan quickly followed, calling "wife, wife" non-stop.

Chen Yanqiu felt amused as he watched his back as he hurriedly left. He wished that the president, a big bootlicker, would be criticized for not doing a good job this time!

Chen Yanqiu was in a good mood and went upstairs humming a song.

Downstairs, Zhu Mingchuan walked into the room, but did not see his wife. He heard the sound of running water in the bathroom, so his wife must be in there.

He sat quietly outside and waited for a long time. The pumpkin in his hand had become cold, but his wife still hadn't come out.

He stood up and paced back and forth anxiously at the door. He couldn't help it, so he knocked on the door and asked softly, "Wife, what's wrong with you? Why don't you come out? Do you need my help?"

There was no answer from inside the door. A few minutes later, Qin Rouan came out, without even looking at him, and walked past him with her head down.

Zhu Mingchuan didn't understand what he did wrong to make his wife angry, but he immediately followed her and apologized: "Wife, I'm sorry, I was wrong, it's all my fault, I was rude, I deserve to be beaten, please beat me."

Qin Rouan finally turned around to look at him, her eyes were red. Zhu Mingchuan felt so distressed that he raised his hand and slapped himself in the face.
