Chapter 449: Dinner with Mother-in-law (Part 3)
Duan Wei looked at the well-behaved little girl, and her cold eyes showed a hint of warmth.
After Ruan Qi finished giving Xi Xiaoran the acupuncture, it was time for dinner.
The rich aroma of food wafted from the dining room into the living room, and the little girl's stomach growled twice.
Duan Wei's eyes swept over her belly and she said calmly, "Go eat."
After saying that, she stood up and helped Xi Xiaoran, who was dizzy from being stabbed, to walk out.
As a result, after taking only two steps, the corner of his clothes was grabbed by a white and tender little hand.
Duan Wei turned her head and the little girl holding her clothes smiled softly.
"Auntie, today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. Let's have dinner together."
Duan Wei was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No, it's not convenient for Xiao Ran..."
"Uncle just had an acupuncture injection, so he won't have any seizures." Ruan Qi took her arm and said, "Let's go, Auntie, let's go eat something delicious!"
Duan Wei, who had been locked up in a side yard with a madman for more than twenty years, was a little uncomfortable with the intimacy of the little girl.
She stared blankly at the little hand holding her arm, and was pulled into the restaurant by Ruan Qi with stiff movements.
Because Xi Xiaoran went crazy, Duan Wei rarely left the side courtyard in recent years, let alone having New Year's Eve dinner with everyone.
So, when the Xi family members saw Duan Wei appear in the restaurant, they were all a little surprised.
"Xiao Wei?" Old Master Xi looked at her in surprise, "What are you doing..."
Ruan Qi: "Grandpa Xi, my aunt and uncle are here to have dinner with us~"
Mr. Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide, with a hint of shock and surprise in his eyes.
Just then, Xi Jiu, who had gone to the study to handle official business, walked into the restaurant.
When he saw Duan Wei and Xi Xiao, he paused and stopped where he was.
Duan Wei glanced at Xi Jiu's expressionless face and held Xi Xiaoran's hand a little tighter.
She pursed her lips and said, "I..."
Before she could finish her words, Ruan Qi, who was holding her arm, exerted a little force and pulled her to the dining table.
Ruan Qi pulled out a chair and pushed Xi Xiaoran, who was dizzy from the acupuncture, onto the seat.
Then she pulled out the chair next to her, grabbed Duan Wei's hand and pulled it in -
Duan Wei, whose strength was not even one-tenth of her daughter-in-law's, was pulled onto the chair.
The girl dealt with her future mother-in-law and pulled out a chair next to Duan Wei.
"Jiujiu," she waved to Xijiu, tilting her head, "Come and sit down~"
Duan Wei, who was sitting on the chair, trembled slightly.
Just then, footsteps were heard behind me.
Immediately afterwards, Xi Jiu, dressed in black clothes and black pants, sat down next to her.
Duan Wei clenched her hands under the table suddenly.
After Xi Jiu sat down, he pulled out the chair next to him and let the little girl sit down.
Old Mr. Xi looked at the family of four sitting close together, his old eyes a little moist.
"Great! Great! Finally, our family can be reunited!"
…
Soon, the huge dining table was filled with delicious food.
The sound of lively firecrackers rang out in the manor, and the TV in the restaurant was playing the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve.
Sitting in the main seat, Mr. Xi smiled and said to Ruan Qi, "Xiao Qi, eat whatever you want. If you can't reach it, stand up and grab it!"
After saying that, he picked up a big crab with his serving chopsticks and put it in the little girl's bowl.
Ruan Qi looked at the crab that was bigger than her face, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes lit up with the light of a foodie.
"Thank you, Grandpa Xi~" she smiled sweetly, "I'm welcome!~"
After saying that, she grabbed the big crab and broke its legs with a "snap".
Xi Jiu was afraid that the little girl would be pricked by the crab, so he immediately took over the task of peeling the crab shell.
Old Master Xi looked at the loving couple with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, a male voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "What year is it?"
