Several members of the family were seated in order of seniority, and He Yining was seated furthest outside.
After the food was served, Mrs. Gu kept mumbling, "Eat more Cuicui," "Eating this is good for the children," "Don't touch that, it tastes cold."
Xu Cuicui always liked to control everything in the Gu family. If there were three thousand people in the harem, she would be the empress. At this time, the mother is more valuable than the son, and her tail is almost up to the sky.
If she can give birth to a boy for the Gu family, he will be the eldest grandson of the Gu family. From now on, her status will be even more unbreakable. Even the eldest daughter-in-law, Diao Juan, will fawn over her and serve her food diligently.
"The third child is coming back." Halfway through the meal, Gu Zhonglei said suddenly, "He just talked to me on the phone today and said he had booked a flight for next week."
With a clang, the spoon in He Yining's hand fell into the porcelain plate, making a crisp and sudden sound.
Everyone is looking at her.
She silently picked up the spoon, said, "Excuse me," and continued to drink the soup as if nothing had happened. Only Gu Nianxi saw that her face turned pale for a moment when she mentioned the third child.
They have been married for three years, and Gu Nai has not returned to China for three years. Why did he come back this time?
Gu Nianxi had to think of He Yining, and sneered in her heart. She must have felt uncomfortable thinking about it, so she couldn't wait to fly back to meet her old lover.
"I'm full." Gu Nianxi put down her chopsticks, stood up and left.
"Hey, this little fourth is still so bad-tempered. Who would mess with him after a meal?" Gu Zhonglei shrugged and joked at Mrs. Gu, "Mom, you got used to it. If you didn't obey me when you were a child, you would
Beat him to death to see how arrogant he can be."
Gu Yu said with a smile: "My mother wishes she could lock Xiao Si in a golden cage. What's that called? If you hold it in your mouth, it will melt, and if you hold it in your hand, it will fly."
Mrs. Gu just smiled, with doting in her eyes. Her doting on her little son was self-evident.
"You all think I can't hear you?" Gu Nianxi stood on the stairs, frowning, "Are you bothered by these two big men chirping?"
After saying that, he stomped upstairs.
He Yining drank the soup slowly, as if he was not involved.
Gu Zhonglei's words kept repeating in her mind, "The third child is coming back."
Gu Nai, he is coming back.
Three years is neither long nor short, but it is enough to accomplish many things and forget many things.
"He Yining, go get Cuicui a glass of water." Mrs. Gu ordered coldly.
He Yining bit his spoon and seemed not to hear it at all.
"He Yining." Mrs. Gu increased her voice and slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table.
He Yining came back to his senses and said, "Ah?"
"Are you deaf? Cuicui is thirsty, go get her some water." Mrs. Gu said dissatisfied.
He Yining glanced at Xu Cuicui, who was arrogantly giving her a victor's sneer.
It's just that you're pregnant, so don't get too pregnant. If the thing falls, no one can catch it.
He Yining stood up and went to pour the water. When pouring the water, she deliberately adjusted the water temperature.
It's not hot when you hold it, but it has a different taste when you drink it. As a doctor, she is very familiar with temperature control.
"I asked you to pour water, not to boil it. It's too slow." Xu Cuicui complained dissatisfiedly, watching a delicate white hand place the water cup in front of her, and she picked it up and drank without thinking.
It wasn't until she took a big sip that He Yining said in surprise, "It's hot."
