What exactly happened?
There were still noises coming from the kitchen, and Gu Shaokai was afraid that it had exploded.
His doubts grew as he glanced at the roasted chestnuts on the table.
At this moment, the door opened, and Li Hanting walked in from outside, looking travel-worn. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Gu Shaokai sitting in the chair before he realized what was happening.
When did you arrive?
"I just got here a short time ago." Gu Shaokai excitedly got up and walked to Ting Ge's side, pointing towards the kitchen and whispering, "Brother, is that really my sister-in-law, Su Jingjing, inside?"
As Li Hanting changed his shoes, he replied, "The real deal."
"This, this change is too drastic, how did you train him?"
Looking up at his brother's gossipy face, Li Hanting calmly looked away and said, "I'll go in and help your sister-in-law cook first, then we'll talk later."
After saying that, he went straight to the kitchen, leaving Gu Shaokai looking on in astonishment.
Why does he think his brother is so eager to see his sister-in-law?
The couple cooking together shows how good their relationship is.
He could hear his sister-in-law's soft voice coming from inside, though it was a little hard to hear. But Ting-ge's sticky voice sounded so sweet and cloying that it made him feel like he was being pulled apart.
Just then, An'an and Yuanyuan returned home from school, leaving behind their questions.
The little guy stopped and asked curiously, "Huh?"
Li Cheng'an's eyes also showed surprise, and it took him a few seconds to regain his composure before nodding to Uncle Shao Kai across from him.
Gu Shaokai stared at the two children for a long time without reacting, clearly finding it unbelievable as well.
The two children have changed dramatically, especially Yuanyuan. She has become much prettier, and her face looks just like her sister-in-law's. She has also gained weight and has a chubby face, making her cute and playful.
Why does An'an seem so much more composed? He doesn't say a word and has a bit of Ting-ge's vibe about him.
Gu Shaokai couldn't help but marvel at the power of genetics.
After regaining his senses, he picked up Yuanyuan and pulled An'an over as well.
He joked, "Wow, Yuanyuan has gotten so fat, Uncle could hardly carry her."
The little one covered her mouth and giggled, "Mommy said that Yuanyuan's chubby cheeks are cute, she's not fat."
Gu Shaokai sensed something different. Wasn't Yuanyuan afraid of Su Jingjing before?
Maybe we can get some information out of the two children.
He straightened his expression and asked in a low voice, "An'an and Yuanyuan, Uncle wants to ask you, why has your mother changed so much?"
He then looked at An'an and asked, "Do you understand what your uncle means?"
Li Cheng'an understood this best: anyone who saw the changes in his mother would be puzzled, but he never offered much explanation.
But Uncle Shao Kai was different; he treated her and her sister extremely well, just like a real uncle.
"Uncle Shaokai, I don't know the specifics. I only know that she cooks for us, buys us clothes and storybooks, takes us to school, sleeps with us, helps my sister take a bath, and speaks gently. She hasn't lost her temper with us in a long time."
Li Cheng'an recounted everything in detail, realizing how deeply his mother's words and actions had been etched into his mind.
Speaking of clothes, Gu Shaokai subconsciously glanced at the children's clothes.
As a businessman, he could tell at a glance that the clothes were not cheap, especially since they were new.
It's hard to imagine that just a few months ago, the two children were wearing ill-fitting, rough clothes.
"Did your mother really buy this dress?"
Before her brother could answer, the little one snatched it away; she wanted to be involved in everything her mother did.
"Yes, Uncle Shaokai, Mom is so nice, she even bought Yuanyuan a dress."
"Oh, I see." Gu Shaokai's lips twitched. What exactly had he missed?
Half an hour later, Li Hanting came out of the kitchen and saw the three of them smiling and leaning together. Even An An, who was usually stern and unsmiling, was smiling broadly.
He frowned slightly and told them to go wash their hands and eat.
After saying that, he turned back to help his wife serve the dishes.
It's cooked so quickly?
In his memory, Brother Ting didn't seem to know how to cook. Thinking of this, Gu Shaokai swallowed hard. Could the couple's cooking be edible?
In the few seconds he hesitated, Yuanyuan tugged at him.
"Uncle Shaokai, let's go wash our hands quickly, Mom's cooking is so delicious."
Li Cheng'an agreed, "Yes, my sister is right."
As I came out of the restroom, I saw dishes laid out on the table.
There are quite a lot of dishes, and they look very appealing. I wonder how they taste?
Su Jingjing greeted him warmly, "Shaokai, I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just cooked something casually. Try it and see how it tastes."
She didn't notice that the man beside her looked rather unpleasant, clearly jealous.
A table full of delicious food, and you call this casual?
"Oh, thank you, sister-in-law."
After thanking him, Gu Shaokai picked up his chopsticks, took a small piece of fried fish, hesitated for a few seconds before putting it in his mouth.
Take a couple of slow chews, and you'll find it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, incredibly delicious.
His eyes lit up immediately, and he started picking up other dishes with his chopsticks without stopping.
I tasted them one by one and found that they were really delicious; even restaurants outside couldn't compare to the dishes on this table.
Besides him, the two children ate with great relish, and their sister-in-law even served them food, which the children gladly accepted.
He looked away and gazed into Su Jingjing's eyes. "Sister-in-law, did you cook all this food?"
Su Jingjing knew that Gu Shaokai did not trust her, and chuckled, "Yes, actually my cooking skills are not bad, that was just an exception."
"If you think the food is good, come to my house for dinner again next time."
exception?
They almost burned the kitchen down.
The other person was very poised and confident, and Gu Shaokai didn't know how to start the conversation, so he simply ate quietly.
Yes, it was delicious. I ate so much without realizing it.
Of course, it wasn't just him; An'an and Yuanyuan were the same.
The three of them let out a burp and then laughed.
Su Jingjing smiled broadly. How could she not be happy that someone appreciated her cooking?
The book mentions that Gu Shaokai is also a foodie, so let's win him over with delicious food.
Gu Shaokai caught a glimpse of Su Jingjing's smile and felt a little embarrassed.
He still harbored resentment, so how could he have been bought off by a single meal?
What did he see the next second?
Ting-ge actually cleared the dishes and wouldn't let his sister-in-law help. The children were used to it, and it was clearly not the first or second time this had happened.
"Brother, you're the one who usually does the dishes, aren't you?"
Not only does he help with cooking, but he also cleans up the dishes. Brother Ting is clearly a doting husband.
Li Hanting kept working with his hands, "Yes, you should learn from this too, you'll need it in the future."
Gu Shaokai curled his lip; he had never even considered helping women with housework.
People like them, who grew up in luxury and privilege, have hardly ever been to a kitchen, let alone cooked. How many of them actually know how to cook?
Brother Ting tried cooking for his two children, but unfortunately, his basic skills weren't good enough, and he was always a little short of getting it right.
Thinking about it, he felt ashamed of himself; Brother Ting is truly an exceptional man!
