He was now a master at pleasing Auntie Lan.
At the same time, he gave all the men an invisible pressure.
For example, right now, the men were eating soup or picking up food quietly. Little Uncle’s chopsticks bumped into Qu Hao’s, and cousin Mo’s chopsticks bumped into Jing Tian’s.
The four of them looked at each other in dismay and put down their chopsticks at the same time.
Mai Qi and I were the thickest-skinned ones, laughing our heads off.
In such a jubilant scene, I looked at Lin Nan from the corner of my eye.
Lin Nan had a confused look on her face as if she didn’t know what we were talking about at all. She was bored and focused on the food in front of her as if she didn’t know what else to do.
My uncle coughed lightly, and he said, “Auntie Lan is right! When we go back, we’ll have a good meeting to discuss Auntie Lan’s proposal and try to fulfill Auntie Lan’s wish as soon as possible. As for who has the child first, it doesn’t matter.”
Old master Jing suddenly said, “Why don’t you guys have a competition? Whoever has a child first will get a prize!”
The four men were speechless.
Auntie Lan was extremely happy. “Jing De, this is a good idea! It’s decided. Whoever gives birth to a child first will be rewarded with a small island, a villa for the second, and as for the third and fourth, Jing De, you’ll handle it!”
How could we continue with this meal?
Now it was Auntie Bai Rui’s turn to watch the show with a smile.
“Well, I think I’m full. What about you guys?” My little uncle leaned back and looked at his brothers.
Jing Tian picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. “I’m a little full too!”
Qu Hao and cousin Mo nodded in agreement immediately.
Auntie Bai Rui said hurriedly, “Is it because the dishes today aren’t good? Why did you guys only eat so little? Tell me which dish isn’t good? I’ll get someone to cook it again!”
Before our faces could fall, Auntie Lan and auntie Bai Rui could not hold back their laughter.
Auntie Bai Rui wiped away the tears from her laughter and said, “Alright, Alright. I won’t tease you anymore. Enjoy your meal.”
Auntie Lan’s eyes were beautiful, and she smiled very proudly. “How is it? Was our acting good?”
Only then did we understand that Auntie Lan was joking with us.
Auntie Lan waved her hand and asked the servants to serve each of us a bowl of soup. “Bai Rui and I have carefully arranged these dishes today. Let’s see which of you dares to leave the table!”
Old Master Jing peeled the prawns and praised, “These little rascals are so smart nowadays. Only you can control them! So, you’re still the best, Ah Lan!”
We all picked up our bowls and spoons and drank our soup to cover up our unconcealable awkwardness.
I sneaked a glance at Lin Nan.
I noticed that she was looking at me, smiling innocently. It felt like she was really out of it.
She seemed to be particularly interested in me, which made my hair stand on end.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t she be more interested in Jing Tian? Why did she act like she was so interested in me? Instead, she seemed to be afraid of Jing Tian. What the hell was going on?
It had been a long time since we had a good meal together. Both the old master Jing and Auntie Lan were very happy. We also cleared the table of delicious food.
Auntie Bai Rui was very happy. She asked us to have a good meal together every week, no matter how busy we were.
This proposal was strongly supported by the old master Jing and Auntie Lan.
Of course, we had to agree. Otherwise, who would be able to leave the dining table?
In fact, this kind of family atmosphere was what everyone longed for, including Jing Tian.
