Tang Yuanyuan arrived soon after, bringing with her a lot of fresh ingredients in addition to some cooked food. She immediately went to the kitchen to get busy, with Tie Dan helping out. The kitchen was filled with delicious aromas that made everyone's mouths water.
Xiaotong and Tiantian sat quietly playing with building blocks. Yadan wanted to help, but her brother kicked her out. The little girl was so upset that she could only watch cartoons.
Hua Xiaolou sat quietly, looking somewhat uneasy, occasionally twisting his fingers. Although Ye Qingqing and Ruan Yingzi tried to comfort him, it had little effect.
Wuchen had been secretly observing Hua Xiaolou, his eyes filled with displeasure. When he moved his gaze to Hua Xiaolou's hands, Wuchen snorted, his expression showing some disgust, but he didn't say anything.
Anyway, it was that stupid woman who got scammed, and she was happy to watch the show.
Bored, Wuchen was indifferent to the cartoons that Yadan liked to watch. He got up and stretched, glanced at Xiaotong, smiled slyly, tiptoed over, and gently pushed, causing the castle that Tiantian had just built to collapse, scattering blocks all over the ground.
"Wuchen, you're so mean!"
Sweetie yelled angrily, because she had worked so hard to build it, and Snow White and the prince hadn't even moved in yet!
Wuchen snorted and raised his chin. "Building a new one is no good. Only women like this kind of childish stuff. If I'm going to build one, I'll build a real one."
"Hate!"
Sweetie was so angry she glared at Wuchen, but she couldn't really lash out at him, since he was the older sister. But she was really furious inside.
Wuchen made a face at her and prepared to go back to watch more mindless cartoons with Yadan, but he caught a glimpse of the silent Xiaotong out of the corner of his eye, his eyes popped out, and his mouth opened wide.
In the short time it took her to talk to Tian Tian, Xiao Tong quietly restored the castle to its original state, exactly the same as before Wu Chen demolished it, even the pink color of the windows was the same, as if it were copied and pasted.
"Xiaotong, you're amazing! Thank you!"
Sweetie was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling. She quickly took out her beloved Snow White Barbie doll and the handsome prince from the cabinet and put them into the castle.
Xiao Tong's eyes also sparkled with pride as she received the praise, and she smiled shyly.
Wuchen pouted. This silly boy is actually quite clever.
Tie Dan came out carrying a tray of steaming dishes and called out cheerfully, "Dinner's ready! Ya Dan, set the table!"
Wuchen and Ruan Yingzi ran the fastest, quickly set up the table, and then obediently sat down to wait for the food to be served. After Hua Xiaolou sat down, she looked at the large table full of people in surprise. How lively!
"You're not feeling well, drink more soup!"
Ye Qingqing ladled a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for Hua Xiaolou. It was brought over by Tang Yuanyuan and reheated. It was fragrant and delicious. Hua Xiaolou couldn't resist the aroma.
Lu Mo's eyes turned cold. The alarm was raised, and he decided to thoroughly investigate Hua Xiaolou's background to see if she was truly innocent.
He would never admit that he was jealous; he was simply checking for any suspicious dangers on Ye Qingqing's behalf.
"It's so delicious! This is the first time I've ever had such a delicious soup!" Hua Xiaolou said softly.
"If you like it, drink more and eat more vegetables," Ye Qingqing said with a smile, completely unaware that Lu Mo beside her had a gaze as cold as snow in the twelfth lunar month.
"Hua, have a piece of pork rib. It tastes pretty good."
Lu Mo picked up a piece of pork rib, leaned forward, and placed it in Hua Xiaolou's bowl. He intended to sit down immediately, but Lu Mo's eyes changed. He stared at Hua Xiaolou's hand holding the bowl for a while before moving away and sitting back down without making a sound.
