"Love!" Zhou Shuo answered firmly.
"What is love? Do you understand?" Chen Su looked at Zhou Shuo with great contempt.
Zhou Shuo met her gaze and said frankly, "Of course I understand. It's just like me and Brother Mu Ci, and like Sister Chen Bai and her brother-in-law. We're happy when we're together, and we miss each other when we're apart. We think about each other all the time. As long as he's well, I'll be fine too!"
Zhou Shuo's confident and self-righteous words finally calmed down Shen Su's arrogance, but she was very dissatisfied. "My sister has given birth to a child for my brother-in-law. When will you give birth to a child for Mu Ci?"
She admitted that she was just making small talk and making up stories because she didn't want to see Zhou Shuo feel proud.
But Zhou Shuo was stunned for a moment, and after thinking seriously for a while, he said, "I can discuss this issue with Brother Shitou. If we have a baby, the house will be more lively. I like children!"
Chen Su covered her forehead with her hands and wailed, "Go away, Zhou Shuo, go away! I'm in dire straits and you're showing off your affection! We're done!"
Zhou Shuo doubled over with laughter.
When Zhou Shuo got home, he found Mu Ci at home, and Luo Bing was also there. He couldn't help but feel happy, "Second Brother, why are you here? I haven't seen you for many days!"
Zhou Shuo was overjoyed.
Luo Bing smiled, a rare moment on his face. "I've been on a business trip lately. I came back today and came to see you."
Zhou Shuo glanced at Mu Ci, who was sitting on a soft chair beside him, with a look of disdain on his face, "You're trying to sell me a favor again. You clearly came to see Brother Shitou. If I hadn't come back, would you have planned to leave?"
Luo Bing smiled without saying anything and reached out to touch her head.
She took advantage of the situation and grabbed Luo Bing's arm. "If you really came to see me, then stay for dinner. I'll cook your favorite dishes for you!"
Mu Ci cleared his throat and said, "It's been a long time since you've cooked for me yourself!"
Luo Bing raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Then I'll stay and wait for Junior Sister to make something delicious for Senior Brother!"
Zhou Shuo nodded happily, taking into account Mu Ci's jealousy, "Give it to Brother Shitou as well. Wait for me, I'll go prepare it now!"
She stuffed the schoolbag in her hand onto Mu Ci's legs, turned around and ran, shouting as she ran: "Xiao Ling Xiao Bai, come and help!"
This lively look made Mu Ci and Luo Bing shake their heads and smile at the same time.
"Seeing her like this, I feel relieved." Luo Bing said softly.
Mu Ci's smile gradually faded. Zhou Shuo hadn't been this happy for a long time. With her mother around, she had always restrained her temper.
Guilt slowly rose in Mu Ci's heart.
Zhou Shuo's joy ended the moment he saw Duan Si.
While greeting Duan Si, Zhou Shuo blamed himself for being too carried away. He was so happy to see his senior brother that he forgot that Madam Mu was at home. Now he was going to be taught a lesson again.
Unexpectedly, Duan Si didn't get angry when he saw her. He just asked calmly, "I heard that the eldest young master of the Shen family is here?"
Zhou Shuo nodded, "Senior brother said to stay for dinner."
Duan Si's eyes lit up immediately, "What? The eldest young master of the Shen family wants to stay for dinner?"
Her tone was full of excitement. Zhou Shuo nodded, not understanding why. "Yes, I'll personally cook a few dishes that he and Brother Mu Ci like."
When Duan Si heard the word "yes," she was already burning with passion. She ordered the people around her, "Quick, go get Miss Song Nan back to me. Tell her to come back immediately! Right now!"
Zhou Shuo looked at Duan Si in surprise, as if he had encountered some happy event and excitedly looked back. He asked Xiao Ling and Xiao Bai, "Why is Madam so happy?"
Xiaobai spoke quickly: "Young Madam, can't you see it? Madam has always wanted Miss Song Nan to marry the eldest young master of the Shen family! Is there any better match than the young master of the Shen family? Madam can't wait to tie Miss Song Nan and the young master together right now and announce it to the world!"
Xiao Ling glared at Xiao Bai and said, "Stop talking!"
Zhou Shuo was a little dazed. "Song Nan? And Second Senior Brother? But isn't the person Song Nan likes Brother Shitou?"
Xiaoling and Xiaobai looked at Zhou Shuo together.
Zhou Shuo looked at them and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Xiaobai shook his head, and Xiaoling coughed, "Madam, our young master only has you in his heart, please don't let your imagination run wild."
Oh my God, it turns out that the eldest young lady knows everything!
It's so hard for them to worry about the eldest young lady on a daily basis, thinking that she doesn't feel it!
Zhou Shuo smiled. "I'm not imagining things. Song Nan was just too obvious. I already knew what she was thinking. But I didn't expect her to hint to me that she and Mu Ci were a perfect match while also wanting to date my Second Senior Brother. Can she handle that?"
Xiao Ling said, "Madam, what are you planning to cook for dinner? Let's get it ready quickly, it's getting late."
This topic is really not something she and Xiaobai can discuss.
"Yeah, that's right." Zhou Shuo immediately put the matter aside and devoted herself to her culinary creation.
At dinner time, the elegant and well-dressed Song Nan came out with Duan Si. Duan Si arranged for Song Nan to sit next to Luo Bing and chatted warmly, "It's been a while since I last visited the old lady at the Shen family. How is the old lady?"
Luo Bing said politely: "Thank you for your concern. My grandma is in good health recently."
"Is Chen Bai about to give birth? How is she? I heard that the couple moved back to the Shen family? The old lady must be very happy?" The smile on Duan Si's face surprised Zhou Shuo. She had never been so kind and gentle to Mu Ci.
Luo Bing still said politely: "Yes, my sister is pregnant with twins, and grandma is worried. It is more convenient for her to look after them at home. Zhou Shuo is also there to look after them on weekdays."
Duan Si glanced at Zhou Shuo without any warmth in his eyes.
When his gaze turned to Luo Bing, it was warm and gentle again. "Oh, twins! This is such a blessing, double happiness! Song Nan, please arrange some time to accompany me to see your sister Chen Bai."
Song Nan glanced at Luo Bing from the corner of his eyes and said lightly, "Yes."
Luo Bing didn't want to continue these meaningless topics and asked Zhou Shuo: "Did you do all this?"
Zhou Shuo understood and said quickly, "Yes, Second Brother, please taste my cooking and see if my cooking skills have deteriorated."
Luo Bing frowned as he looked at the plate of shrimp and lily bulbs in front of him. "I don't know if it's a step back, but it's definitely not sincere. I don't eat lilies, and you don't even remember?"
Zhou Shuo reached out and moved the plate of shrimp with lilies closer to Mu Ci, saying with a smile, "This is for Brother Shitou. Second Brother, you can pick whatever you like and eat it."
Mu Ci picked up a shrimp and put it in his mouth in front of Luo Bing, looking at Luo Bing provocatively.
Song Nan reached out and scooped a bowl of soup, handing it to Luo Bing beside him, saying, "Look at you guys, why are you bickering like children while eating? Zhou Shuo's cooking skills are extraordinary. Come on and eat."
Zhou Shuo looked at Song Nan in surprise. It was really not easy to get a compliment from Song Nan!
