Jiang Xiaoman’s heart ached when she saw Su Jin like this, but there was no other way. The matter had not been completely resolved, so they could not acknowledge each other. Jiang Xiaoman barely survived this ordeal; she couldn’t let Su Jin suffer any harm.
Jiang Xiaoman dared not look into Su Jin’s eyes and quickly changed the subject, “Girl, let’s go in! Dinner is ready. If we don’t go in now, the food will turn cold!”
Xi Chenxiao was standing next to Su Jin. His heart ached too when he saw Su Jin like this. After all, no one would accept the result well. It was an arduous task to find her mother, and her mother didn’t want to recognize her when they finally met. Xi Chenxiao thought that Su Jin’s mother must have her own difficulties.
Xi Chenxiao held Su Jin in his arms and said softly, “Don’t be so sad. I believe that your mom is fine!”
Zhang De looked at the sad Su Jin with a torn expression. He already knew everything, but they were doing this for Su Jin’s safety. Things were very complicated and there was no other way.!!
Zhang De held Jiang Xiaoman’s arm and said gently to his mother, “Mom, your health isn’t good right now. Slow down!”
Jiang Xiaoman nodded and followed Zhang De into the house. Xi Chenxiao was also sure that he did not see wrongly. Zhang De’s mother was acting strange. When Su Jin was upset just now, her eyes flashed with worry. It seemed like there was indeed a problem.
Xi Chenxiao hugged Su Jin and said gently, “Let’s go in too for dinner!”
In the dining room, Su Jin saw that the dishes on the table were all her favorites. Her expression turned even more complicated. Only her mother and Xi Chenxiao knew her favorite dishes. There’s no way Zhang De would know. Su Jin watched Jiang Xiaoman quietly as Jiang Xiaoman picked up Su Jin’s and Zhang De’s favorite dishes for them.
“Quickly eat or the food will turn cold!”
Xi Chenxiao looked at his empty bowl. Jiang Xiaoman also noticed his reaction, but it was not that Jiang Xiaoman didn’t want to pick up any food for Xi Chenxiao. It’s just that Xi Chenxiao’s aura was too domineering, and she dared not pick up any food for him. What if she picked up something he didn’t like? Wouldn’t she just be waiting for Xi Chenxiao’s anger?
Su Jin also noticed Xi Chenxiao’s depressed mood and casually put some vegetable in his bowl as she said, “Quickly eat. These ingredients are very nutritious. Lots of vitamins to replenish your body!”
Xi Chenxiao was speechless. It was too difficult for him to be moved. Everyone’s bowl was filled with meat, but his was filled with only vegetables? But he had no choice. It was his wife who picked up the food for him. His only choice was to eat it. Xi Chenxiao was about to eat the vegetables when a piece of rib suddenly appeared next to his mouth.
Xi Chenxiao looked up in surprise only to see Su Jin smiling as she said, “What are you looking at? Open your mouth!”
Xi Chenxiao’s gaze turned thoughtful but he still opened his mouth obediently and ate the piece of rib Su Jin gave him. Any food that his wife fed him was especially tasty. His cold heart warmed up instantly. An hour and a half later, Su Jin and Xi Chenxiao bid farewell to Zhang De and his mother and returned to their own home.
After they got home, Su Jin immediately went to the bathroom to wash up. She then put on her pajamas and lay in bed. Xi Chenxiao washed up in another bathroom. When he came back to the bedroom and saw Su Jin in bed with a trouble look on her face, he went up and held her in his arms.
Xi Chenxiao did not want to see the girl unhappy, so he asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Su Jin had been thinking about her mother all this time. That woman was clearly her mother, but why did she not want to admit it? And she was so nice to Zhang De. What happened there? Su Jin snapped back to her senses when Xi Chenxiao hugged her.
She didn’t know what to say when she heard his question, so she sidestepped casually, “I don’t need to practice martial arts today?”
How could Xi Chenxiao bear to let her practice when she looked like this? She would be so distracted, and injuries could happen. He’d let Su Jin rest for a day. As for the other thing, he would also let it go for now.
Xi Chenxiao kissed Su Jin lovingly and said to her with a smile, “Since you’re in such a bad mood, don’t practice. I’ll let you have a rest today!”
“If you rest well, maybe your mood will improve and you won’t be so unhappy!”
