"Don't look down on me. I'm quite skilled at being an assistant now."
Gu Sinian affectionately patted the back of her head. "Yes, yes, yes. I know you're amazing. Now you've even learned how to pick vegetables."
Su Ying snorted, "Then why didn't you let me help you?"
"With so many people in the family, we don't need your help. If my grandparents find out, they'll break my legs!"
"Besides, I usually ask you to help me out just so you can spend more time with me. If I don't keep an eye on you, you'll be eating snacks again."
Su Ying suddenly realized why that scoundrel always made her do easy chores when he entered the space.
It was all just to hold her hand.
Don't let her go find snacks to eat.
"That's enough. I actually fell for your trick. Now you're leaving me alone in the living room, aren't you afraid I'll keep sneaking around eating?"
Gu Sinian gestured for her to look over. Qin Chengzhi, that unlucky fellow, was sitting there motionless, and she really didn't know what he was thinking.
"You're not going to have my third brother keep an eye on me, are you?"
The man smiled, "You guessed right. Your third brother spoils you so much, he'll definitely keep an eye on you for me."
Su Ying glared at Gu Sinian through gritted teeth, "You've got some nerve."
He touched the little girl's face, which was flushed from being puffed up with anger, and said, "Stay put and don't steal any snacks."
"My mother-in-law said that eating too many snacks during pregnancy is not good for your health, so you better behave yourself."
With Gu Sinian gone, only the three of them remained in the living room. Yu Youtian was still sulking, and staying in the living room would only make her more depressed.
"I'll go help too."
Qin Chengzhi's eyes never left Yu Youtian for a moment. Seeing her get up to leave, he immediately followed her.
Su Ying grabbed him and chased after Qin Chengzhi, asking, "Third Brother, where are you going?"
Pointing to the departing figure, he said, "What else can I do? Your third sister-in-law is almost gone, and you're still so carefree. Am I still your most beloved third brother?"
"yes."
"Then will you still stop me from pursuing my wife?"
Su Ying pressed the person down onto the sofa, then sat down beside them herself. "Why did you chase after them?"
"She...she...My only purpose in coming to the Gu family is her. If I don't make the most of every moment to spend with her, what am I even doing here?"
"I'm not just bored."
"Didn't you notice that Sister Yutian is feeling down?"
He hadn't noticed that, but he'd been sitting across from her for so long and she hadn't even glanced at him, completely ignoring him. He was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it...
He couldn't even be bothered to give him a glance, so how could he tell if the other person was in a good or bad mood?
"Then I'll go find her now."
Qin Chengzhi, who had just stood up, was pulled back again. "Let her calm down. She's feeling a little complicated right now."
"Why is she quiet? I'm the one who needs to be quiet. I've been trying to get her attention all morning, only to be met with indifference."
Su Ying looked at Qin Chengzhi with a helpless expression. No wonder he had been single for twenty years. If it weren't for his good looks, good character, and good family background, he would never have been able to find a wife in his life.
Without her interference, it would be very difficult for Third Brother to find a wife in this lifetime.
She's angry with you.
Qin Chengzhi jumped up from the sofa. "I'm not even angry. Why would she be angry? She spoke so resolutely yesterday, like she was determined to never see me again. If I weren't strong enough, I wouldn't have come to her door today. I would have given up on her long ago."
She picked up a glass of water from the coffee table, took a sip, and slowly said, "She's angry with you because you're going on a blind date tomorrow."
"It's all baseless, why is she getting angry?"
"To be precise, it's jealousy."
"Huh? Little sister, don't tease me. She said yesterday that she doesn't like me. What are you jealous of today?"
"Fine, don't believe me then. Let her sort out her feelings for you first, and I believe things will get better soon."
"That would be best."
The two chatted in the living room for a short while before Gu Sinian's deep voice came through, "Wife, Third Brother is here for lunch."
Su Ying responded in Gu Sinian's direction and, with Qin Chengzhi's help, went to the dining table.
My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm walking very clumsily.
Twins have much larger bellies than the average person.
When Gu Sinian saw his beloved wife arrive, he went over and helped her sit down.
The seats were deliberately arranged and were almost full, leaving only Yu Youtian alone.
Qin Chengzhi gave everyone a grateful look; it seems he still has his charm.
Although Yu Youtian hasn't been moved yet, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu are both on their side.
"Sit down and eat quickly. Yutian, please treat our guests well."
Yu Youtian gave a bitter "okay" and buried her head in her food, not exchanging any words with Qin Chengzhi throughout the meal.
Yan Yan and Gu Huadong exchanged a glance, their eyes both showing a triumphant smile.
This was the first time Gu Sinian had ever seen such a strange expression on his grandparents' faces.
I can't figure out what they're up to.
Gu Huadong and Yan Yan noticed that their grandson was staring at them, and fearing that he might be pregnant, they glared at him sternly.
"Eat your food properly. Take good care of your wife while you eat. What are you looking around for? Do your grandparents have flowers on their faces?"
Are you feeling so guilty?
The two elderly people must have some secrets they are hiding.
Since both of his parents had said so, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he quietly served his wife some food.
Grandpa and Grandma must have done something, otherwise they wouldn't look so guilty.
Su Ying finished the food in her bowl but didn't see Gu Sinian pick up any more, which made her a little suspicious, since her bowl was usually empty.
The man kept piling food into his bowl; this was the first time he'd ever acted this way.
She glanced up at the man to see what was wrong, only to find that he hadn't eaten his food and was just staring blankly at the food in his bowl.
"What's wrong? Why are you spacing out? Did you not like the food today?"
Su Ying's voice instantly brought Gu Sinian back to reality, "What's wrong? Are you full?"
"I'm not full. It's just that you're acting a little strange today."
"What's strange?"
"My bowl is empty, and you haven't put any food in it for me. You've just been spacing out. Is something wrong?"
You can't exactly tell your young wife that there are two respected old people in the family who are secretly doing bad things.
Su Ying suddenly became interested. What did that mean? Did Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu want to do something bad?
That's quite unusual.
"What bad things did they do?"
The current situation is just speculation, and Gu Sinian dares not be 100% sure. If it is a false alarm, he will ruin his grandparents' reputation.
"There's not much to eat."
During the meal, Gu Sinian's gaze lingered between Qin Chengzhi and Yu Youtian. Seeing that they were alright, his worries gradually subsided.
Maybe he's overthinking it...
Grandpa and Grandma certainly wouldn't be disrespectful to their elders.
The smug smile on his face just now must have been his imagination.
Gradually, Gu Sinian's gaze settled entirely on Su Ying.
