Chapter 46 Breakfast Rules
Du Ruo and her "cousin" were carrying things and walking home. At the door of Chen's house, they met Chen Yuan who was about to go out on a bicycle. When he saw Du Ruo with a man, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Du Ruo said naturally, "This is my cousin from my eldest aunt's family."
Anyway, the lie has been told, so let's just leave it at that.
Chen Yuan jumped off his bike and said to Yuan Tingchuan enthusiastically, "So you are our CEO Du's cousin? Brother, are you here to visit relatives? I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
Du Ruo was about to change the subject, but unexpectedly Yuan Tingchuan said, "Then I'll take advantage of Mr. Du. Let's drink together tomorrow."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's meet at noon tomorrow, at my house. I'll invite all the brothers over, and we're all welcome. You must come, right?"
Yuan Tingchuan agreed with a smile. After Chen Yuan left, Du Ruo glared at him and asked, "Are you really going? Isn't this inappropriate?" In fact, what she wanted to say was, aren't you leaving?
Yuan Tingchuan blinked innocently and said, "They invited me so sincerely, how could I refuse?"
Du Ruo gritted her teeth and said, "He invited my cousin!" She emphasized the word "cousin".
Yuan Tingchuan smiled and said, "I am your cousin, right? You just admitted it yourself. Let's go, cousin."
After saying this, he no longer paid any attention to Du Ruo and went home whistling all the way.
The two little guys are very self-reliant. When they returned home, Han Zhe and Yuan Shurui had already finished washing up.
When they saw the two of them coming in with so many things, the two guys cheered and ran to sit down at the table. Since the two guys sat on both sides of the table and the table was against the wall, Yuan Tingchuan and Du Ruo could only sit next to each other.
The table was not big, and the two of them sat elbow to elbow. The heat from their bodies was transmitted through their thin clothes, making it feel a little hot.
There was a hint of unnaturalness in Yuan Tingchuan's eyes. He always liked to keep a distance from others. Except for the time in northern Myanmar, he had never been so close to anyone.
Neither his parents nor Qu Xin had it. He wanted to be close to his son, but so far he had not succeeded.
Du Ruo didn't feel anything. He sat at the same table with his classmates when he was a child. Later, when he started his own business, he worked hard with his colleagues. He only slept two or three hours a day. Everyone ate together. The studio was not big, so it was inevitably crowded. It was just a meal, why would he be so picky?
Yuan Tingchuan rarely had breakfast with his son, and he was very happy at first, but after a while, his brows furrowed.
Yuan Shurui ate with relish. He imitated Xiaozhe and dipped the fried dough stick into soy milk before putting it in his mouth. It was delicious. He squinted his eyes happily and felt that it was much more delicious than the exquisite meals at home.
Yuan Tingchuan became angrier and angrier. He frowned and scolded, "What's wrong with you? How can you eat like this? Where are the etiquette?"
Du Ruo was speechless. She looked around her little house and said to the boss earnestly, "Look at my house. There's really no need to be so particular about it. It doesn't fit in, does it?"
Eating is so strenuous, aren't you afraid of stomachache?
Yuan Tingchuan argued, "This is not a special situation."
Du Ruo put down his chopsticks, made an inviting gesture, and said to Yuan Tingchuan: "Please show us how to eat."
She said this and winked at the two children.
The two little guys immediately understood what she meant. They placed their chopsticks neatly on the bowls, put their hands behind their backs, and looked at Yuan Tingchuan eagerly as if they were listening to a teacher in kindergarten.
Yuan Tingchuan stared at the three people sitting next to the table, all standing in unison, waiting for his performance.
He bit his back teeth, and a rare faint blush appeared on his handsome face. He took the pancake and tried to take a bite, but saw that the three people were looking at him with relish, their eyes sparkling and not blinking. How the hell was he supposed to eat like this?
Yuan Tingchuan put down his chopsticks in embarrassment, stood up and was about to leave. He said, "I don't want to eat anymore. Please do whatever you want."
Du Ruo smiled and pulled his shirt sleeve, saying, "I'm just joking with you. Come eat, the children are waiting for you."
Yuan Shurui looked at his father's embarrassed expression in surprise. He had never seen his father with this expression before. His father was always calm, dignified and expressionless.
He pulled his father's other sleeve sympathetically and said softly, "Dad, please eat your meal."
Yuan Tingchuan looked at Yuan Shurui excitedly holding his hand. His son was really caring and was afraid that he would be hungry.
Before he could finish his emotion, Yuan Shurui whispered, "We are going to the amusement park today. If you delay any longer, we will be late."
Yuan Tingchuan...
Du Ruo...
Her original intention was to send the father and son away quickly, right? What amusement park?
After sending them off, why not go with her son? The mother and son can have a great day, so why bring two burdens along?
But obviously, Han Zhe didn't think so. He said to Yuan Shurui happily, "Ruirui, will you accompany me to ride the roller coaster? I'm not very brave to ride it. I'll accompany you to ride the merry-go-round, okay?"
Yuan Shurui nodded and said, "I'm not afraid. I'll go with you."
Yuan Tingchuan had returned to his expressionless state. He glanced at Du Ruo from the side and saw that Du Ruo looked depressed, and his mood inexplicably brightened up.
He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the pancake. After swallowing it slowly, he said to the two children, "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, we can drive to the amusement park."
Du Ruo rolled her eyes at him and deliberately asked, "Did you drive here?"
Yuan Tingchuan looked at her as if she were a fool and said, "What's that parked at your door?"
Du Ruo gave a fake laugh and said slowly, "I can't go today. They are here to deliver furniture."
The two children then remembered that they had picked out a lot of furniture yesterday and agreed to have it delivered today.
Children's attention shifts so quickly. Yuan Tingchuan thought he would see disappointed looks in the two children's eyes, but the two kids had already started discussing what they had picked yesterday.
Yuan Shurui said, "I think I can add another desk in my room." He looked at Du Ruo embarrassedly.
Du Ruo wanted to say, I was just being polite yesterday, who took the time to decorate your room?
Han Zhe said seriously, "I think my room also needs a small desk. Let's buy the same one, shall we?"
Yuan Shurui said, "Okay, let my dad pay this time. He has money, so he can buy one for Aunt Du as well."
Yuan Shurui said to Du Ruo flatteringly: "Let my dad buy you a big desk, bigger than ours, like the one in my dad's office, very impressive."
Yuan Tingchuan twitched his lips. Like in his office? Can he let it go?
