"Xiaoxi, you've changed. You're no longer the little darling who loves Mommy." Shi's mother is becoming more and more like a child.

With potato chips in her mouth, Shi Xi said indistinctly, "Mom, I still love you very much."

The two chatted about this and that until the men finished cooking. Shi Xi rubbed her slightly bulging belly, feeling that she had really missed out and should have eaten fewer snacks.

Shi's father and mother sat in the main seats, Helian Yi, Shi Xi, and Di Chenxiao sat on the right, Mi Rou, Shi Hao, and Shi Han sat on the left, and Shisan and Di Jiu sat opposite Shi's father and mother. This was the largest number of people ever seen at a Shi family meal.

Mi Rou and He Lianyi didn't need to pick up their own food; their mother would put all the good food on their plates.

Since Mi Rou came to the Shi family, Shi Xi's status has been below Mi Rou's. If there is anything good, Shi's mother will give it to Mi Rou first and then to Shi Xi.

After Helian Yi arrived, Shi Xi's status plummeted.

Shi Xi bit her chopsticks and muttered softly, "Xiao Xiao, I seem to be Cinderella, Mi Rou is Snow White, He Lian is the young master of the family, and my eldest and second eldest brothers were adopted."

"Oh right, and you too. You're number one in Mommy's heart. Waaaaah—"

“I’ll pick some food for you. Silly girl, Mom and Dad are so nice to Mi…Mi Rou and Helian Yi, they’re only nice to you because they’re your friends. They’re nice to me because…I’m their daughter’s future husband.” Di Chenxiao whispered in Shi Xi’s ear.

Sizzle—

Her face was like a ripe red persimmon in autumn, so red and tempting that one wanted to take a bite.

"You, you, you, you." His tongue was tied in knots, and he couldn't say anything else but "you."

She gently bit her knotted tongue until it was straight.

"You're shameless."

Emperor. Shameless. Chen Xiao: "I will wait for you to grow up and marry you."

"What are Xiao Chen and Xiao Xi whispering about behind our backs?" Shi's mother finally noticed Shi Xi's unusual expression.

"No, I didn't say anything." Shi Xi started to play the turtle, eating quietly and not talking to the person next to her with a face as thick as a city wall.

Shi's mother looked at Helian Yi kindly, "Xiao Yi, you've worked hard today, and Xiao Chen has also worked hard. The two of you have prepared a table full of delicious food."

"Auntie, I was just washing the vegetables, I didn't cook. I'm sorry, Auntie. I don't know how to cook, but I will learn. Once I've learned, I'll cook for you."

Helian Yi looked like a newlywed bride, head bowed, face flushed with embarrassment.

"It's okay, if you can't cook, you can't cook. You, Xiaoxi, and Mirou are the same, you just need to eat."

Shi Han put down her chopsticks, crossed her arms, and said, "Mom, I helped in the kitchen, but you didn't praise me once. I'm angry and I'm not eating."

"Eat it or don't, if you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it."

Shi Han: "..."

This is definitely her biological mother.

"Are you gentler than Mi Rou? Are you cuter than He Lian? Are you better looking or more capable than Xiao Chen? You're not any of those! So what are you doing here?" Shi's mother continued to stab them in the back, then served food to Mi Rou and He Lian Yi.

Shi Hao chuckled softly, seeking tenderness?

Mom has a deep misunderstanding about Mi Rou.

He glanced at Shi Han, whose IQ seemed to be lacking. Was Shi Han's IQ a free gift with a phone top-up?

"Even food can't shut you up. You know perfectly well how much we are in Mom's heart, yet you still ask such a stupid question. Your intelligence is making me anxious."

"Waaaaah, I'm going to run away from home and never come back, hmph."

Shi Han said he ran away from home, but he just sat there waiting for others to coax him.
