”Oh, alright then.” Tao Tian agreed.

Not long later, the aroma of dishes drifted out from the kitchen.

”When can Grandmother have a meal? An An is so hungry.” Anthea had slipped into the kitchen at some point, and had asked with an impatient look on her face.

Auntie Zhong could not help but laugh in spite of her teasing. ”Good Ann, just go and chat with Mommy and Uncle for a day.”

”Oh, Grandma, you have to hurry.” An An smelled the fragrance of the dishes in the room and looked reluctant to leave.

”An An, aren't you going to cause trouble for Grandma again?” Tao Tian suddenly appeared behind her and asked with a fierce expression.

”No, Mommy, Ann's a good girl.” An An An stuck out her tongue and said softly.

”Un, then quickly follow Mommy in, don't disturb Grandma.” As he spoke, Tao Tian pulled An An out of the kitchen …

”Time to eat.” Not long later, Auntie Zhong was happily yelling in the kitchen.

”He's coming!” An An was the first to rush out excitedly and watch Auntie Zhong serve the dishes one by one onto the table. He hurriedly climbed onto a chair and drooled as he looked at Auntie Zhong's dishes on the table.

”An An, what does Mommy usually teach you?” Tao Tian loudly asked.

”Mommy said that adults can't sit at the table when it's time to eat. Children can't sit.” Anthea lowered her head and repeated in a low voice.

”Then why did you …” Tao Tian's eyes widened as he asked sternly.

”But, Mommy, Anthea is hungry.” An'an shouted loudly.

”You still dare to talk back?” Tao Tian's tone became even more severe.

”Alright, An Xin. It's not like other people live here. Kids?” Auntie Zhong rushed out to help.

Tao Tian didn't say anything. He just fiercely glared at little An An and hastily lowered his head.

”Mommy, Grandma's prawns are really delicious.” An An An said to Tao Tian in a fawning manner.

Tao Tian glanced at An An and pretended to ignore him angrily.

”Mommy, don't be mad at An An. An An will definitely be a good boy.” An An stretched out her chubby little hand to touch Tao Tian's face.

Tao Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

”Mommy is the bad guy. Mommy is scaring An An.” Anthea pouted.

”Alright, we're even now. No one is going to get angry with anyone else.” Tao Tian stretched out his hand and pulled An An's hand.

”An Xin, you really …” Auntie Zhong smiled at the childish couple, not knowing what to say.

”Auntie, the two of you are usually like this.” Tao Ran was not surprised.

”Alright, let's eat.” Tao Yao smiled as he picked up his chopsticks.

Everyone started to move as well. They were happy and looked like they were in a family.

After the five dishes were eaten, everyone slowed down and started to chat from time to time.

”An Xin, the boy that came to your house today, is he your friend?” Auntie Zhong asked tentatively.

”He … ”He is …” Tao Tian didn't expect Auntie Zhong to meet Lei Zichen, nor did he expect her to ask him any questions. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

”He's a friend of Mommy's.” Anthea loudly answered for her mother.

”Oh?” Auntie Zhong was pleasantly surprised. ”Then why haven't I heard you mention it before?”

”We were friends in the past, he suddenly came here these few days. We bumped into him on the street, so …” Tao Tian lowered his head and continuously stuffed things into his mouth as he replied.

”Oh, so it's like that.” Auntie Zhong seemed to be deep in thought.

”Auntie, why are you asking him?” Tao Ran asked with a puzzled expression.

”No ….” ”It's nothing, I'm also from Yan City right? I should be more or less aware of what happened in Yan City. I think we should know that he's that Lei Clan's young master.” Auntie Zhong asked.

”Well, yes.” Tao Yao nodded.

”The Lei Family is one of the top families in Yan City. How did An Xin know you?” Auntie Zhong asked.

”I …” He didn't expect that Auntie Zhong would have so many questions. Tao Tian was a little overwhelmed.

”Auntie, why are you so interested in his matter?” Tao Ran cut in and helped Tao Tian up.

”Ah, nothing, nothing, just curious.” Auntie Zhong realized that she had lost her composure and quickly whispered.

”Hur hur, I didn't expect Auntie Zhong to be so interested in the Eight Trigrams News.” Tao Ran smiled and said as he looked doubtfully at Auntie Zhong.

”No more, just that he's old. He always pays special attention to the matters of his hometown.” Auntie Zhong explained with a smile.

”Eat, eat.” Auntie Zhong made a gesture to eat, indicating for everyone to continue.

”That's right. I don't know why you adults talk so much at meals,” An Xin ate like a kitten, her face covered in grease as she spoke in a dissatisfied tone.

”Hahaha,” An Xin's words caused everyone to burst out in laughter. ”Come, come. We'll listen to An An's words and have a good meal.” Auntie Zhong said to everyone as she looked dotingly at An An.
