Chapter 624 - Kitten (1/2)

To Xiao Li, her actions were nothing but cute. She looked so harmless even when she puffed up her cheeks. But the way she drank the milk made her look like a kitten. Xin Zimen had described her perfectly last night, she was truly a kitten. Because after she took the glass of milk, she darted the tip of her tongue out to check the temperature of the milk before chugging it down.

But while she drank, her eyes were wandering over to the steamed dumplings that had been placed before him. Taking the hint, he took the new set of chopsticks and brought a steamed dumpling to her mouth. Without even hesitating, she opened her mouth wide to receive it.

Xiao Li looked at her full cheeks as she chewed and shook his head in amus_e_m_e_nt. It was truly hard for him to match this girl with the one who thrashed his brother right before his eyes. Maybe she really was good at concealing herself but he couldn't help liking her even more. This personality of hers strongly reminded him of his mother who was so good at acting hoodlum before the world but would become the world's best person before the ones she cared about.

”Little one, you're done eating?”

Xiu looked over at Xin Zimen and nodded but then looked at the second steamed dumpling that Xiao Li for her and immediately shook her head.

Xin Zimen's brows raised subtly as he noticed his elder brother's attentiveness but didn't point it out as he silently took the seat of the head of the family.

”Li Ge, don't make her lazy. Let her eat herself.”

Xiu squinted her eyes at her husband who came to sit beside her and when he noticed her eyes, he added, ”I mean to say I'm enough to spoil my wife. Let me feed you myself.”

”I don't mind though,” replied Xiao Li but still pushed the basket of steamed dumpling before Darren.

Xiu didn't care who was feeding her, all that mattered was that she got to eat those dumplings. She was very satisfied with her own bowl of congee but somehow couldn't resist the aroma of dumplings from enticing her. She only had one thing in her defense; the food was seducing her these days. Yes, that's the most logical answer she can come up with!

”Ah-Xin, didn't you say you'd carry me even in my sleep? Why did you wake me up?”

”I was all prepared to take you when you're sleeping but your husband had other ideas.”

”He said, you need to replenish your energy or might end up fainting from giving blood.”

”I'm clearly not that weak,” retorted Xiu unhappily. ”I neither have Trypanophobia (fear of needles) nor do I have Hemophobia (fear of blood). I have the strongest mental power.”

”Yes, my Sweets only has a strange but extreme hospital fear.”

While Xiu glared at Darren for saying that out loud in such a way, she heard two anxious voices...

”Why is she scared of hospitals?”
