One evening, Gu Yanbai and Su Nianxue were about to go downstairs for a walk.
From a distance, you can see a person half-hidden in the shadows of the corner of the wall.
The figure was very familiar; the two of them knew who it was at a glance.
"Come out, what are you doing, sneaking around like that?"
After a while, Xiaxia finally emerged from the shadows, looking hesitant. "Mom and Dad, I was out running errands and just happened to be passing by!"
"I understand!" Su Nianxue understood. Judging from her expression, she must have encountered something unpleasant!
It's also possible that the two had a fight!
Before they could even speak, she rushed to explain. What else could this be but a guilty conscience?
She's here at this hour, she probably hasn't eaten yet!
Gu Yanbai's eyes sharpened, his mind racing...
However, he only looked her over carefully a few times, without saying anything.
Xiaxia felt slightly embarrassed, as if they had seen through her little secret.
Therefore, his expression became even more tense.
Seeing her timid and hesitant appearance, Gu Yanbai sighed, "Alright, you haven't eaten yet. Come on, let's go upstairs and have something to eat first."
Xiaxia quickly waved her hand, "Mom and Dad, I've already eaten. You should continue your walk. I'll leave now."
Su Nianxue followed his words and said, "Why are you leaving? Your dad was just complaining that he wasn't full!"
I'll make you some noodles; just consider it keeping your dad company.
Gu Yanbai...
No, he was really full!
Moreover, it's a bit too much to handle right now.
I guess it's because I'm getting older and my digestive system isn't as good as it used to be.
Now, even after eating the same amount of food, I always feel a bit full.
"Didn't you just say you weren't full? Okay, let's not go for a walk. Let's go back and make something to eat, and we can all have some."
Su Nianxue automatically ignored the first part of his sentence, "Okay, I'll make it for you when we get back, so you can have a good meal."
Gu Yanbai...
Why doesn't she eat it herself?
However, under Su Nianxue's warning gaze, he naturally swallowed the words in his mouth.
Indeed, children are a debt!
Just to get his daughter to eat something, he has to sacrifice his own stomach.
But he couldn't say it outright. The child had been a bit sensitive lately, and if he showed even the slightest reluctance, she might go hungry all night.
It wasn't easy for him!
In this life, some people die from stupidity, some from anger, and some from poverty. But he was lucky; one day, his wife literally ate him to death!
He'd be ashamed to admit it if anyone told him.
Xiaxia watched her parents' supposedly superb acting skills, and her eyes gradually reddened.
On one side was her parents' warmth, and on the other side was the Lu family's indifference; a wave of emotion suddenly arose in her heart.
A wave of regret surged through her chest, overwhelming her completely.
She was really... wrong!
The only constant in this world is probably her parents' love for her.
As for Lu Wen, ... she was just asking for trouble.
She thought she had finally gotten her wish and could be as happy as a princess in a fairy tale!
But she didn't know that fairy tales are just fairy tales forever.
Life will punish every conceited person!
As soon as she got home, Su Nianxue went to the kitchen and made a big pot of tomato and egg noodles.
When it was done cooking, a generous amount of fresh chopped green onions was sprinkled on top.
Just the smell is enough to whet your appetite.
Knowing that Gu Yanbai wasn't hungry at the moment, Su Nianxue only served him a small bowl of noodles as a token gesture and then stopped.
Xiaxia looked at the delicious-looking noodles in the bowl and her appetite was whetted.
She only learned to cook after getting married, so naturally her cooking skills aren't very good!
Even if she studies and practices diligently, she still can't reach her mother's level!
She hadn't had such delicious food in a long time.
So, without bothering with formalities, he scooped out a large bowl and wolfed it down.
"Slow down, there's still some left in the pot!" Su Nianxue looked at her with heartache in her eyes.
Gu Yanbai also felt a mix of emotions. He had cherished her and raised her to adulthood, doing everything he could to give her the best.
Although she wasn't raised in the most pampered way, she certainly didn't suffer any hardship.
But unexpectedly, things turned out this way after she got married.
He remembered that she used to be a picky eater and didn't like these foods.
I don’t know how the Lu family mistreated her, but she could make a bowl of noodles taste like a delicacy.
She's my own daughter. I was angry that she was disobedient, so I ignored her after marriage.
I just thought it would be good for her to suffer a bit.
Now it seems she really did suffer, and it really did seem quite bitter.
Lost in thought, he finished the entire bowl of noodles without even leaving a drop of broth.
Su Nianxue couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. Didn't he say he was full?
How come you ate so cleanly again?
Xiaxia was really hungry. She ate three big bowls of noodles, finishing all the noodles in the pot before reluctantly putting down her chopsticks.
Su Nianxue was quite surprised. When did this girl's appetite become so big?
It seems the Lu family is really struggling; even a simple bowl of noodles can make her so content.
Su Nianxue was both angry and annoyed at her current predicament; she hadn't listened to the advice of her elders!
Isn't that exactly what we're going to suffer for?
While feeling heartbroken, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "Have you eaten enough? Or should I make you something else?"
Xiaxia quickly waved her hand, "No need. Mom, you know how much I eat. I'm already stuffed from eating so many noodles."
