She subconsciously turned to look at Shen Jingshao, whose expression remained unchanged.

It was a bit warm at home, so he had taken off the jacket he was wearing while working and was now wearing a casual shirt.

Fang Jingyao had already pulled Wen Yichen and Ye Suidong aside to play, and they looked quite harmonious now.

Shengxia looked around and said, "What did you make? It smells so good."

Wen Yixing smiled and said, "I made chicken soup and pork ribs. Are you hungry? Would you like to eat something first?"

Shengxia waved her hand, walked to the cabinet next to the coffee table, and casually picked up a cookie. "We'll eat together later. I'll just have a little something first."

"Okay, I'll go get the chicken soup first."

The chicken soup was simmering on a low flame in the kitchen. Wen Yixing went over and ladled out the soup. In that short time, Fang Jingyao stood at the kitchen doorway, looking inside, and asked, "Mom, do you need any help?"

Wen Yixing: "Thank you, Yaoyao, but you don't need to for now. You can go play with Dongdong."

Wen Yichen chimed in, "Sis, just call me if you need anything."

Wen Yixing: "Okay, I'll definitely call you if I need anything."

Sheng Xia went straight into the kitchen to find Wen Yixing without asking any questions, but she didn't expect Shen Jingshao to be there as well.

Just as Wen Yixing finished serving the chicken soup, Shen Jingshao stood beside her. Perhaps worried that Wen Yixing would get burned, Shen Jingshao reached out to take the bowl of chicken soup, saying, "I'll do it."

The atmosphere between the two was intimate and natural. Shengxia, who had been single for several months, rolled her eyes and silently left.

After Shen Jingshao came out, Sheng Xia moved closer to Wen Yixing again: "Tell me honestly, what's wrong with you now?"

Wen Yixing asked in confusion, "What?"

Sheng Xia opened the refrigerator, took out an iced cola, and looked at Wen Yixing: "You and Shen Jingshao, I've never heard you mention this before."

A business tycoon suddenly showed up at my best friend's house, it scared me to death!

The question had barely been asked when the intimidating big shot returned silently. Seeing her beside Wen Yixing, the big shot gave her a few more glances.

Feeling immense pressure in the sweltering summer heat, she offered to step aside, saying, "Never mind, you guys chat first."

Wen Yixing smiled, glanced at the time, then at the dishes on the table, and said softly, "It's almost ready, let's eat."

Fang Jingyao clapped his hands expectantly: "Yay! Yay!"

This dinner consisted of home-style dishes. Three of the dishes were prepared by Wen Yixing, and the rest were made by the family's nanny. There were both meat and vegetables, making it a very sumptuous meal.

Ye Suidong was seated next to Fang Jingyao, right across from Wen Yixing.

Compared to her son's chubby appearance, Ye Suidong looked exceptionally thin.

Wen Yixing could roughly guess some of the situation in Ye Suidong's family.

Ye Suidong's mother often gambled and drank. When drunk, she liked to beat and scold her daughter. She was also extremely sexist and had a special obsession with having a son.

Ye Suidong used to have a twin brother, but he died in an accident when he was just over two years old. Ye Suidong's mother then had Ye Suidong take his place and raised her as a boy from a young age.

In addition, Ye Suidong was required not to reveal any flaws outside; if he did, he would be severely beaten again.

Fortunately, Ye Suidong has always been very intelligent, which is why he has been able to keep up this disguise.

After learning about this plot, Wen Yixing felt that Ye Suidong's mother was too bad, and she simply couldn't understand why a mother would treat her child like that.

There are many things she can't understand. For example, she can't understand how Ye Suidong's mother managed to get Ye Suidong enrolled in school as a boy, or how Ye Suidong managed to evade the kindergarten teachers' checks.

There were many strange things that Wen Yixing couldn't figure out, so she could only consider them plot holes.

She genuinely felt sorry for Ye Suidong and wanted to help her.

However, she didn't have a suitable position, so she could only ask Fang Jingyao to bring more lunch to share with Ye Suidong every day.

Looking at the thin girl in front of her, Wen Yixing picked up a piece of braised pork rib with serving chopsticks: "Dongdong, eat more."

Ye Suidong instinctively picked up the bowl with both hands and took the ribs from Wen Yixing, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."

Wen Yixing smiled and said, "I made a lot this time. If you like it, eat more. Don't be shy."

Ye Suidong looked up at the gentle aunt sitting opposite her. The aunt had a beautiful smile, just like the mother she had imagined.

Seeing that she was looking over, Ye Suidong lowered her eyes and obediently replied, "Okay."

Hearing her say that, Fang Jingyao, who was engrossed in eating, looked at Ye Suidong with a puzzled expression.

It's really strange, Ye Suidong seems unusually well-behaved today.

Seeing the ribs in Ye Suidong's bowl, Fang Jingyao was a little unconvinced and handed over his own bowl: "Mom, I want some too!"

Sheng Xia was amused by Fang Jingyao's expression, and she deliberately imitated it: "Ah Xing, I want one too."

Wen Yichen looked up, thought for a moment, and picked up his own bowl: "Sister, I want one too."

Shen Jingshao didn't speak, but simply looked up at her.

The group of people suddenly became childish for no apparent reason. Wen Yixing put a piece of spare rib on each of their plates and smiled, "Okay, you can have them all."

After placing a piece on her son Shengxia's plate and Wen Yichen's plate, she picked out a better one and quietly put it in Shen Jingshao's bowl.

Shen Jingshao looked up at her, his hands, which had been restless under the table, gently taking her hand in his.

Wen Yixing glared at him silently.

He didn't pull his hand back.

After the joke, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
