Chapter 290: Forbearance and Restraint
Hearing no one responding from the kitchen, Lin Youjuan walked over curiously.
Meng Chuyuan was rummaging through the cabinet just now when she heard Lin Youjuan seem to call her. She didn't hear what she said after that.
"Uncle Yuan, did you hear what she just said?"
Uncle Yuan was so focused on the food in his pot that he hadn't paid attention. But when Meng Chuyuan asked him about it, he replied calmly, "Madam said she was hungry."
"Let her wait." As soon as Meng Chuyuan finished speaking, he saw Lin Youjuan appear at the kitchen door. The two of them looked at each other unexpectedly.
For some reason, the atmosphere became awkward.
After a while, Meng Chuyuan took the initiative to speak: "Mom, please go to the dining room and sit for a while. The food will be ready soon."
"Okay...Aye is back." Lin Youjuan smiled and said the last sentence very softly.
"Yeah, I understand."
Lin Youjuan washed her hands at the kitchen sink and quickly returned to the restaurant.
After she sat down, she looked up at Lu Qingye and asked doubtfully, "Did you have a fight with Xiao Meng? Why did she seem a little cold? She didn't react at all when she heard you were back... Isn't this too abnormal?"
Lu Qingye frowned slightly and asked, "How do you want to see her reaction?"
"Anyway, it's not like you two... They say a little separation makes a new marriage better. You two have only been married for less than half a year, and your feelings have faded so quickly?"
Lu Qingye: "You worry too much."
Both he and Meng Chuyuan are relatively rational people, and not all emotions can cause them to fluctuate.
"You two are married now, but don't tell me you're still playing the game of forbearance and restraint."
Just when Lu Qingye didn't know how to answer his mother, Meng Chuyuan and Uncle Yuan came over with dishes.
Meng Chuyuan: "Dinner is ready."
After all the dishes were served, the three of them sat down and ate quietly.
Lu Qingye would occasionally pick up some food for Meng Chuyuan, but the two of them hardly communicated with each other verbally. Seeing this, Lin Youjuan could only observe from the side and wait for the right opportunity to take action.
Lin Youjuan casually picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks, pretended to glance at Meng Chuyuan casually, and said lightly: "By the way, Xiao Meng, I video chatted with a few wives last night and also met the daughter-in-law of the Fang family. She asked me to tell you if you are free tomorrow. She said she hasn't seen you in a long time and wants to find you to play mahjong."
Meng Chuyuan declined politely, "Not tomorrow. I have to go out of town to collect folk songs tomorrow."
"Oh, that's fine. I'll go for you. I haven't played mahjong in a while, so I'll play with them for a while."
Finding that the topic did not extend, she quickly turned her attention to Lu Qingye again, "Son, you should not leave this time you come back, right?"
"Well, I'm not leaving."
"That's right. Why are you always on business trips? You should learn to be lazy occasionally and stop working so hard for that old fox of a father. He's just making empty promises."
Lu Qingye: "..."
In the afternoon, Lu Qingye took a shower and took a nap.
He had just returned and didn't expect to get into work mode right away, so he didn't have to hold the computer to check emails at night.
After Jiang Yi heard that he had returned to China, he sent a message to Lu Qingye: [I heard you're back? I happen to be on vacation recently. Do you want to go out with me tomorrow?]
Originally, Lu Qingye wanted to refuse, but he suddenly remembered that Meng Chuyuan was going out of town to collect folk songs tomorrow, and he didn't have to go to work tomorrow, so it seemed quite boring to stay at home.
After a while, Lu Qingye asked: [Where are you going?]
