"Let's wait for Auntie to come along," Qiu Chen said politely.
Mr. Jiang: "Forget it, let's not wait any longer. Let's eat. The food is getting cold. Ranran, get Qiuchen some of his favorite dishes."
Lu Qingyan glanced at the dishes on the table, stood up, and carefully placed a shiitake mushroom in his bowl.
Qiu Chen was stunned for a while, and before he could even touch his chopsticks, Lu Qingyan picked up two more pieces of tofu for him.
Mushrooms and tofu are dishes that Qiu Chen doesn't like to eat, and he even dislikes them. Jiang Ranran knows this, and so does Lu Qingyan.
Qiu Chen thought to himself: Ranran is definitely still angry with him, but Ranran seems different from before. Before, no matter how angry she was, she would never throw a tantrum. Since returning to China, her temper seems to have gotten worse. But… this kind of Ranran is actually quite cute. Thinking this, Qiu Chen couldn't help but reveal a silly smile.
Mr. Jiang didn't know that Qiu Chen didn't like these foods, and thought the two had a good relationship, so he nodded with satisfaction.
Qiu Chen hasn't told him about his family yet, but from what he's seen of him over this period, he's definitely a good kid. He's relieved that Ranran is with him.
Ranran will inherit the family business in the future. He doesn't ask that her future husband's family be very prominent. As long as he and Ranran are of one mind and develop the Jiang family well, that's enough.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Jiang returned after making the phone call.
Mr. Jiang asked, "Why did you finish talking so quickly?" Every time Jiang Qiqi called back, she would chat with Mrs. Jiang for more than an hour, but this time it hadn't even been ten minutes.
"Qiqi said she wants to come back for dinner and asked us to wait for her," Madam Jiang said as she sat down, a hopeful smile on her face.
"Nonsense, we've already eaten, why are we waiting for her? Besides, she said she'd eat out tonight, why is she suddenly coming back?" Mr. Jiang said this, but his face was full of smiles, clearly he still hoped his youngest daughter would come back.
“When I mentioned that Ranran and Qiuchen were both here, she said she wanted to come back for a family meal and that she missed us.”
Missing her family probably just meant missing Qiu Chen. Hearing this, Lu Qingyan smiled and looked at Qiu Chen, making him feel a little awkward.
Lu Qingyan said, "You're eating vegetables, why aren't you eating?" She reached out and picked up a piece of mushroom for him.
“Yes, Qiu Chen, eat quickly. Don’t listen to your aunt. You don’t need to wait for Qi Qi. We’ll make it for her when she gets back,” Mr. Jiang said with a smile.
Madam Jiang echoed, "That's right, Qiu Chen, you eat yours."
Lu Qingyan served herself a bowl of white fungus soup and slowly sipped it. Watching Qiu Chen finish the food she had just put on his plate with a bitter face, she felt particularly happy.
Lu Qingyan hadn't figured out how to deal with this person yet, and felt that it would be quite gratifying to give him a little setback now.
Less than half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Lu Qingyan raised an eyebrow, not expecting Jiang Qiqi to return so quickly. As soon as she came in and saw everyone eating, her face fell, and she pouted and complained, "Why didn't you wait for me?"
Lu Qingyan deliberately annoyed her: "Your brother-in-law is hungry, so he won't wait for you."
Even if Jiang Qiqi likes Qiu Chen very much, she can only call him brother-in-law right now.
Jiang Qiqi's expression darkened further, but she remained silent, only letting out a soft hum, which only made Madam Jiang feel even more sorry for her.
Madam Jiang said, "Qiqi, go wash your hands and come eat."
Jiang Qiqi washed her hands, and seeing that there were no empty seats next to Qiu Chen, she pouted and said, "I want to sit with my sister and Brother Chen."
