She had to admire Xi Jinyan. Although as he said, from childhood to adulthood, although Xi Lizhong did not give him enough fatherly love and care. However, his mother was by his side and gave him full of love and care.

And Xi Jincheng...

As he said, after the age of five, he would be in that backyard during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, without a father or mother. Only one butler Fang would sometimes accompany him, and another Xi Xiaoxin, who was only two years older than him.

When Xi Jincheng and Xi Lizhong went downstairs, Shu Ran was preparing dinner, while Mu Chen, Shu Muran and Xi Jinyan played flying chess in the living room.

"Then I'll go back first." Xi Li looked at Shu Ran in the kitchen again, then at Mu Chen in the living room, and couldn't help but walk towards it.

Xi Jincheng went straight into the kitchen, stood next to Shu Ran, and saw that she had prepared more abundant dishes than usual.

"I have such a good appetite today?" He smiled, rolled up his sleeves and helped her wash vegetables.

"There are many people today." Shu Ran looked up at him and chuckled gently.

Xi Jincheng's heroic eyebrows frowned coldly, and his hands washing vegetables under the faucet were also stopped.

"What's wrong?" Shu Ran asked knowingly, what's wrong with him? How could she really not know?

"Did you forget the pain after your scars are healed?" Xi Jincheng looked at her faintly, her expression was very calm, until he heard his words, he saw a complicated look quickly passing through her eyes.

Soon, she lowered her head, and the hair in her ears drooped with her head down, covering half of her cheeks.

"I know you haven't let go so quickly. You don't have to force yourself to accept him or convince yourself to do something for me." Xi Jincheng put down the dish in his hand, supported his hands on the edge of the sink, and faced her sideways.

Shu Ran smiled and shook her head: "If you can really do anything for you, what's wrong? For so long, you have been silently doing so many things for me. Whether it was many years ago or now, what can I do for you?"

But, the premise is whether he needs her to do these things?

Xi Lizhong was a sensitive and special existence in Xi Jincheng's heart. She didn't want to be blind just to make decisions about what she thought she was doing for him. Maybe this result was not what he wanted at all.

"I don't need you to do anything for me, as long as you can be by my side." Xi Jincheng wiped the water from his hands, held her shoulders, turned her body over, and let her face to face with him.

Shu Ran was still holding a vegetable in her hand, and the water dripping fell on the floor "click", quickly forming a pool.

"Did you hear it?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xi Jincheng just looked at her foolishly, and couldn't help but repeat: "You are by my side, what I want you to do for me the most!"

Shu Ran looked at his serious expression, with a tough momentum that could not be refuted.

"Are you stupid? How could I leave you?" Shu Ran smiled and said helplessly: "Unless one day you say you don't love me anymore and hate me anymore, and I hope I'll be better as far away from you, maybe..."

"There is no one for that day!" Xi Jincheng swore firmly.

"Cough cough..." The two of them had only each other in their eyes. The dry coughing sounds from behind made Shu Ran stagger their eyes and looked at Xi Lizhong with a little embarrassed expression.

"I'll go back first. If I have time... go home and sit down." Xi Li looked at Xi Jincheng again, and obviously said to Shu Ran.

Shu Ran was a little surprised and flattered. Chairman Xi asked her to go back home?

The hand on his shoulder changed to hug her and faced Xi Lizhong with her. Xi Jincheng looked at Xi Lizhong with a faint mockery.

"Home?", a clearly warm word, was spoken so aggressively by him.

Shu Ran couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what did the father and son say just now? Xi Jinyan almost moved him after saying that, but Xi Lizhong failed to affect Xi Jincheng at all?

Mu Chen stood in front of Shu Muran, and Shu Muran gently held his hands.

The little guy frowned tightly at the center of his eyebrows with a sensual look of Xi Jincheng. He looked at this and that, and the tension in his heart was revealed.

Shu Muran weighed whether he should let the little guy see his father's attitude towards his grandfather with his own eyes. Will this affect the little guy's psychological development problems? Will it have any adverse side effects on his future respect for the elderly and love for the young and filial piety?

Xi Jinyan stood next to Shu Muran. The two of them were of similar age and they were very close to each other and left their phones and WeChat.

"It's time to have supper. If Chairman Xi and Jinyan don't dislike it, stay and have a meal together!" In the end, Shu Ran broke the deadlock. Several people in the room cast surprised eyes at her, unable to believe what they heard in their ears.

"Sister-in-law, are you willing to let us have dinner with you?" Xi Jinyan was surprised and excited, and even more nervous that could not be concealed, afraid that this was actually his auditory hallucination.

"It's just a meal. The New Year is the guest." Shu Ran saw Xi Jincheng's face and pulled the corner of his clothes helplessly, which attracted the man's slightly dissatisfied eyes. She smiled at him.

The man pursed his lips, but finally said "yes" without saying anything.

Xi Jinyan sighed silently. Shu Ran and Xi Jincheng have the same personality, both of whom are soft-hearted and stubborn!

Even though they had already taken a step back, they still refused to let go.

Just a meal... the subtext is that it doesn't mean anything. Chairman Xi, don't be fooled and affectionate!

No matter what, Xi Jincheng and his wife were willing to keep him for dinner, which was enough to make Xi Li's heart excited.

Turning his head to look at Mu Chen, Mu Chen pouted at him, and after a while, he said unwillingly: "Look at what I'm doing? My mother and dad want you to stay and have dinner together, so you can stay and have dinner together!

Anyway, the food my parents cook is delicious!" After saying that, the little guy hummed proudly, turned around and left.

Several people were confused. Is there any special hint in the last sentence?

Shu Ran and Shu Muran looked at each other, and Shu Muran smiled at her and spread her hands. Shu Ran understood the meaning.

What kind of small thoughts does Muchen have? Others don’t know. How can Shu Ran and Shu Muran, who have been born and raised for so many years, not know?

Xi Lizhong and Xi Jinyan stayed for dinner. When cooking, Shu Ran made an excuse that her waist was a little sore after standing for a long time.

Xi Jincheng looked at her for a long time before turning the corner of his mouth. She just wanted him to make a meal for Xi Li with his own hands.

This excuse is too obvious.

"Really, don't believe me, I was really injured by a knife just now!" Shu Ran said, lifting up the hem of his sweater, revealing a small piece of white and delicate waist, and there was indeed a dry wound on it.
