Chapter 96 Sadness
After dinner, Jiang Huaixu returned to his study, and when he was unhappy, he turned into a workaholic.
Xu Chunian sat on the mat and played with Zhuzhu, staring at one spot in a daze, holding the building blocks in his hand and sighing.
Zhuzhu's hands were almost sore, and Xu Chunian didn't hand her the building blocks. She also sighed, "Alas."
Xu Chunian was amused by her and reached out to pinch her chubby face, "Why are you sighing?"
Zhuzhu pointed upstairs and pulled the corners of her lips down with two fingers.
"Is he unhappy?" Xu Chunian held Zhuzhu in his arms.
Zhuzhu nodded.
"Then let's go and keep Dad company, okay?"
Zhuzhu tilted her head and looked at her in confusion.
"Let's make juice for Daddy, okay?"
Zhuzhu's eyes lit up and she nodded.
Xu Chunian took Zhuzhu to the kitchen. She originally wanted to make some desserts, but Xu Chunian was the one who made the most mistakes.
With one cut, the watermelon made a crisp sound and split open, revealing the bright red flesh, which was sweet and tempting.
Xu Chunian was not very good at using a knife, so he scooped out a small piece with a spoon and fed it to Zhuzhu, and ate a piece himself. It was a seedless variety, refreshing and juicy, sweet but not greasy.
After digging out the melon pulp, Xu Chunian found a juicer in the corner and watched the tutorial.
Zhuzhu stood on a small stool and put the watermelon in. After squeezing it, Xu Chunian poured the juice into the cup and put a straw in it.
Zhuzhu held the cup and gulped down a few sips.
"Let's go upstairs." Xu Chunian held a large glass of juice in his hand and went upstairs with Zhuzhu.
At the door of the study, Xu Chunian handed her the cup, and Zhuzhu held it in both hands.
"Knock knock knock" Xu Chunian knocked on the door with his fingers.
"Enter."
Jiang Huaixu subconsciously glanced towards the door, then lowered his sight and saw Zhuzhu approaching him with a cup of water in both hands. Only then did he stop what he was doing.
Zhuzhu walked up to him and handed him the juice in her hand.
Jiang Huaixu took the cup, put it on the table, and hugged Zhuzhu into his arms, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Xu Chunian sat down next to him, "Zhuzhu, seeing that you are unhappy, we squeezed some juice for you."
Zhuzhu nodded in his arms.
Jiang Huaixu pinched her little face and said, "Thank you, Zhuzhu."
Zhuzhu smiled embarrassedly, pointed at Xu Chunian, and turned to look at Jiang Huaixu.
The man was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Thank you."
Xu Chunian smiled at him, "Are you unhappy because of what happened this afternoon?"
The man pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Perhaps the original family was a scar in Jiang Huaixu's heart. Xu Chunian shrank her neck and said, "It's too late. I'll take Zhuzhu to bed. You should rest early after you finish your work."
As he said this, he half stood up and hugged Zhuzhu in his arms, and Zhuzhu opened her arms.
The man suddenly clasped his hands around her waist, forcing Xu Chunian to half sit on his lap. "What...what are you doing?"
Jiang Huaixu's eyes were deep, with a hint of sadness emerging from them. "Is it because of my family that you suddenly don't like me that much?"
There was a hint of sadness between his brows. He could only say that he didn't like her that much. He didn't dare to ask her if she hated him. When this thought came to his mind, it was as if he was being tortured to death.
In his opinion, Xu Chunian had no shortcomings, had a good family background, and he himself was good enough. She had plenty of choices, but she chose him who had been abandoned.
It had been so long that he had become numb, but the sweet treats she gave him these days made him start to have ideas again.
