The ingredients at the bottom of the hot pot were almost cooked, and the soup was simmering. Xu Xiyan invited everyone to dig in. “Come, everyone! Let’s eat! Please help yourselves!”
Fang Xiaocheng picked a mushroom ball from the hotpot and dipped it in peanut sauce. “Here, Cherry, have a mushroom ball! I’ve dipped it in peanut sauce for you.”
“It’s okay, Orange Mommy, you can have it. Baby doesn’t want it,” Ying Bao shook her head. She scooped up a beef ball with a spoon and took a big bite out of it happily.
Xu Xiyan added, “Oh, I forgot to tell you that Ying Bao cannot have peanut b.u.t.ter. She’s allergic to it.”
She’s allergic to peanut sauce?
Huo Yunshen jerked his head up at the little girl. She was also allergic to peanuts?
He was allergic to it too!
What a coincidence!
After dinner, w.a.n.g Dazhi and Fang Xiaocheng bid them goodbye. Before leaving, Fang Xiaocheng said, “Cherry, would you sleep with Xi Baby tonight? Orange Mommy will pick you up tomorrow, okay?”
“Okay!” Ying Bao jumped happily.
After sending Fang Xiaocheng and w.a.n.g Dazhi off, Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen joined Ying Bao for a game of Chinese checkers.
As Xu Xiyan watched Huo Yunshen and Ying Bao getting along in harmony, she felt the long-lost warmth of being with a family.
She couldn’t help but think: If…If Huo Yunshen liked her, that would be great, and Ying Bao could live in a complete family.
She really felt like asking him. Huo Yunshen, do you like me?
Why do you have to bury your feelings so deep?
Xu Xiyan had always been confident and insightful. However, when it came to Huo Yunshen, she could understand him, but couldn’t figure him out. She could never guess what he was thinking.
She had heard some ugly rumors from the public. It was rumored that the reason Huo Yunshen had never been intimately close with women was not that he had anxiety towards women or had gotten into a car accident, but that he seemed to be gay.
