Chapter 206 The Brother-in-Law's Assistance
The warm light from the kitchen fell on Lin Yi'an's focused profile as he carefully stirred the black-boned chicken in the casserole. The bone broth had been simmering on the low heat for two hours, its bubbling sound full of patience.
The old chef watched with a smile in his eyes, his eyes filled with undisguised satisfaction. This soup looked simple, but it was actually the most demanding. Even his apprentice of three years often got scolded for not controlling the heat properly. He never expected that the pampered young master An could make it so steadily.
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Lin Yi'an turned around and happened to meet the chef's gaze.
The old chef quickly waved his hand, his tone filled with admiration.
"No, no, young master, your soup is absolutely delicious. It's perfect to turn off the heat and serve it now!"
Receiving affirmation, Lin Yi'an looked down at the casserole pot, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face. His younger sister loved these exquisite-looking and comforting things; she would definitely like them.
When I brought the soup I made myself to the little girl, she loved it.
Lin Yiluo provided plenty of emotional support, and she happily tugged at the man's sleeve.
"Brother, is this really the soup you made for me? This soup looks delicious. Why are you so, so, so good to me? I love you so much!"
Her words, coupled with her exaggerated expression, made Lin Yi'an laugh somewhat embarrassedly.
Look, this is his little sister, his absolute favorite little sister. She's so cute, and every day after she's eaten and drunk her fill, she tries to make him happy. That's why he says his baby is the best!
"It's not that good. You are the best, baby. It's because you are so good that your brother makes soup for you. If you like it, your brother will make it for you again next time. No, I mean, your brother will make it for you every day from now on."
This bowl of soup took the man three precious hours, which means he'll have to sleep three hours less tonight to work. Even though he has to get up at 7 a.m. tomorrow for a video conference, it's okay. He's happy, and most importantly, his baby is happy.
Lin Yiluo sipped her soup, occasionally feeding Lin Yi'an a spoonful.
"As expected, my brother's cooking is always the best."
Lin Yi patted his younger sister's head with satisfaction.
"Baby, your brother wants to talk to you about something."
Lin Yiluo used to hate hearing this, and she still doesn't, but today her brother made her soup, clearly trying to coax her.
"What does my brother want to discuss with me?"
Lin Yi'an felt awkward again. Every time he felt awkward with his sister, it was about these kinds of things.
It was better when they were young. There was no awkwardness between them then. But never mind, he prefers growing up. When he was young, he didn't have enough money to raise a baby, but it's different now. He can give the baby a better life.
The thought of their baby living in that tiny, shabby rented room when they were very young made him feel sorry for the baby. His little darling should live in a house as big as Mo Ziyuan's.
"Baby~ That's it, that's it..."
Seeing the man's rare coyness, Lin Yiluo actually laughed heartily.
“My brother told me.”
"You and Ziyuan sleep together, right? You know Ziyuan went to see a doctor today. The doctor said he lacks a sense of security, so your brother wants to ask you to help him out."
The little girl blinked at him.
"What help do you need?"
She thought of Mo Ziyuan, who slept beside her every day. Was he lacking a sense of security? How could she not see that? Not only was her Ziyuan brother sick, but he also lacked a sense of security. How pitiful…
“Um… baby, you can hold him more often when you have time.”
Oh, it was about giving him a hug.
"Brother, will this be of little use? I hold him all the time."
He hugs him often? How come his older brother doesn't know? Lin Yi'an's eyebrows twitched. He had thought that his brother knew everything about the family.
It's okay, since they're right under his nose, the two of them can't do anything.
He wanted to persuade his baby not to do that, but he also knew that his baby was sick, and as the older brother, he couldn't stop him.
"Baby, you two need to be more affectionate, this isn't okay."
He lowered his head slightly and approached the girl, saying something. After he finished speaking, both of them blushed.
The little girl quickly shook her head.
"No, I can't."
"Didn't the baby have this problem before?"
"But..." She wanted to tell Lin Yi'an that she had become like this ever since she went to that nightclub, but she didn't know whether she should say it or not, and whether he would find it strange.
"Then I'll give it a try."
Hearing that he was satisfied, Lin Yi'an happily rubbed the girl's face.
"Mmm, you're so great, baby. I'll make you some new soup tomorrow morning."
"good."
……………………
When Lin Yiluo returned to her room, the steam in the bathroom hadn't dissipated yet. Mo Ziyuan had just come out of the shower, his loose bathrobe wrapped around his lean body. The light from the chandelier fell on his sharp jawline, and water droplets from his still-wet hair slid down his neck and into his collar, leaving a water stain.
"Baby, what did you just do?" he asked, his voice still a little hoarse from his shower.
Lin Yiluo instantly gripped the hem of her clothes, her gaze drifting elsewhere.
The little girl remembered the soup she had eaten. What should she do? She felt a little guilty. She hadn't saved any for her brother Ziyuan, but it was soup that her brother had made for her.
"I...I went to talk to my brother for a while."
The little girl dared not look him in the eye, and kept fiddling with the hem of her clothes in front of her.
Mo Ziyuan knew what she had gone to do. He was just teasing her on purpose. He didn't expect her to feel so guilty. How cute.
"Oh, so you were chatting on WeChat. Do you want to take a shower? It's late, you should go to bed."
The girl felt a little shy when she thought about what Lin Yi'an had told her.
"Then I'll go take a shower first."
As she reached the bathroom door, she suddenly turned around and looked at Mo Ziyuan.
"You're not allowed to sleep yet."
Mo Ziyuan nodded, pretending not to know anything.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."
Hehe, the thought of Lin Yiluo taking the initiative tonight makes him happy. He didn't expect his brother-in-law to be so useful.
Lying down on the bed, Mo Ziyuan stared at the ceiling. He deliberately placed the doll in the middle of the bed, waiting for Lin Yiluo to remove it herself.
He'll tell her then that she can't put it up there anymore.
