627 A Change of Environment, a Change of Mood (1/2)
From now on, he would chase after Wen Xuxu. Just like the Chinese idiom 'xuxu rusheng', Xuxu was placed in front while Rusheng was at the back.
Xuxu returned to the house and she heard sounds in the living room. After removing her shoes, she peeked her head from the front door and glanced inside.
Yan Weihong and Mu Li were sitting on the sofa watching TV. Yan Weihong held the fruit platter while Mu Li ate.
Occasionally, Yan Weihong would feed Mu Li with a piece of fruit.
She had witnessed these scenes often. Second Uncle Yan was known for loving and doting on Aunt Mu Li.
”Aunt Mu Li, Second Uncle.” Xuxu entered and shot them a bright smile.
”Xuxu, you're back. Come and have some fruits.”
In the past, with Mu Li around, Yan Weihong doesn't usually speak. And there weren't many opportunities for him to talk as well.
But today, to Xuxu's surprise, it was Yan Weihong who spoke first. He gestured to the fruit platter as he smiled at Xuxu.
Madam Mu Li gave a furtive glare at the man beside her.
All men were the same. They would forget about their wives when they have their grandchildren.
She took a piece of fruit and popped it inside her mouth. Then she beckoned to Xuxu. ”Xuxu, come over.”
Xuxu sat down beside Mu Li, and the latter carefully chose a pear from the platter for her. ”You have to eat more fruits. From tomorrow onwards, I'll make sure you have chicken soup and bird nest porridge to eat every day. Look at how skinny you are.”
Xuxu shyly smiled.
Her relationship with the Yan family wasn't just simply tied to Yan Rusheng. With Mu Li, she felt as though she was her daughter.
Yan Rusheng opened the door and entered the living room.
It startled Yan Weihong and Mu Li when they saw him. They glanced at Xuxu, looking puzzled.
They don't understand why they came back together.
