Du Ruo and her "cousin" were carrying things and walking home. At the door of Chen's house, they met Chen Yuan who was riding a bicycle and was about to go out. 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 it be.
Chen Yuan jumped off his bicycle and said to Yuan Tingchuan enthusiastically, "So you're Mr. Du's cousin? Brother, are you here to visit relatives? I'll treat you to dinner someday."
Du Ruo was about to interrupt him, but unexpectedly Yuan Tingchuan said, "Then I'll take advantage of Mr. Du. Let's drink together tomorrow."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow at noon. It's at my house. I'll invite all the brothers over. We're all welcome. You must come."
Yuan Tingchuan agreed with a smile. After Chen Yuan left, Du Ruo glared at him and asked, "Are you really going? Isn't that 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 carrying so many things in, the two little guys cheered and ran to sit next to the table. Since the two little 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, their body heat coming through the thin clothes, making it 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.
His parents never had it, and neither did Qu Xin. He wanted to be close to his son, but so far he hasn't succeeded.
Du Ruo didn't feel anything. When he was a child, he sat at the same table with his classmates. Later, when he started his business, he worked hard with his colleagues, sleeping only two or three hours a day. Everyone ate together. The studio was not big, so it was inevitable that it was crowded. It was just a meal, why was there so much fuss?
Yuan Tingchuan rarely had breakfast with his son, and he was very happy at first, but after a moment, his brows furrowed.
Yuan Shurui ate with relish. He imitated Xiaozhe and dipped the fried dough sticks into the soy milk before putting them in his mouth. It was delicious. He squinted his eyes with joy and felt that it was much more delicious than the exquisite meals at home.
Yuan Tingchuan grew angrier and angrier as he watched. He frowned and scolded, "What's wrong with you? How can you eat like this? Where are the etiquette and rules?"
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 picky. It doesn't fit in, does it?"
It’s so difficult to eat, aren’t you afraid of stomachache?
Yuan Tingchuan argued, "This isn't 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 finished speaking 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 next to the table, all waiting for his performance in unison.
He bit his back teeth, and a slight 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 piercing 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, you guys can 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, majestic and expressionless.
He sympathetically pulled his father's other sleeve and said softly, "Dad, please eat quickly."
Yuan Tingchuan looked at Yuan Shurui excitedly as he held his hand. His son was so considerate and was afraid that he would be hungry.
Before he could finish being moved, 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, okay? What kind of amusement park were they going to?
After sending them off, she could go with her son. The mother and son could have a good time together for the whole day. Why would she bring two burdens along?
But obviously, Han Zhe didn't think so. He happily said to Yuan Shurui, "Ruirui, will you accompany me on the roller coaster? I'm not very brave to ride it. I'll accompany you on the carousel, okay?"
Yuan Shurui nodded and said, "I'm not afraid. I'll go with you."
Yuan Tingchuan had returned to his expressionless face. He glanced sideways at Du Ruo and saw that Du Ruo looked depressed, and his mood inexplicably brightened up.
He picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the fried dough cake, swallowed it slowly, and 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 let out a fake laugh and said slowly, "I can't go today. They're coming 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 is diverted so quickly. Yuan Tingchuan thought he would see disappointed looks in the two children's eyes, but the two little guys 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 carefully decorated the room for you?
Han Zhe said seriously: "I think I need a small desk in my room too. How about we buy the same one?"
Yuan Shurui said, "Okay, let my dad pay for it this time. He has money, so he can buy one for Aunt Du too."
Yuan Shurui said to Du Ruo flatteringly, "Let my dad buy you a big one, bigger than both of our desks, just like the one in my dad's office. It's so grand."
Yuan Tingchuan twitched his lips. Like the one in his office? Can he let it go?
