"Thank you." Looking at the ribs that Xu Rongrong put into her bowl, Wen Shanshan ate them with a smile, and then thanked her.
Xu Rongrong also smiled softly, "If you like eating ribs, just eat more. It happens to be good for the healing of your hands."
After saying that, he picked up several pieces of the best pork ribs and put them in Wen Shanshan's bowl.
"Rongrong, you are so good to me." Wen Shanshan smiled, suddenly feeling a little sad, "You are the only person who has been good to me for so long."
As her tone became lowered, the corners of Wen Shanshan's smiling eyes and brows also gradually dropped, and the originally smiling and happy woman turned into the cold look that Xu Rongrong was familiar with.
The speed of changing faces back and forth was no more than five seconds. Xu Rongrong was stunned. The speed of Wen Shanshan's face changing was really no worse than Zhan Yiyang.
However, her appearance reminded Xu Rongrong of the time when they first met her. At that time, she was the cold and arrogant secretary to the president, and her aloof appearance always made people think that she was very difficult to get in touch with.
However, when you really get in touch with her, you will find that this woman is actually very kind at heart. All her arrogance and coldness are used to disguise and protect her heart. She was once too sad and desperate, and she thought she could make herself happy in this way.
Don't get hurt.
Of course, although this kind of self-protection has made her cold, the effect is still very significant. At least there are fewer people who come into contact with her. Moreover, because of her cold wrist, she is regarded as a heavenly being and cannot be touched.
No matter what they say, scold, or slander her behind her back, at least in front of others, no one will make her feel sad or bully her.
No one bullied her, and she had no one to be friends with. She was alone like this, and her heart was lonely.
"Shanshan, don't be afraid. That was all in the past. Now you have me and Ah Nuan. You will never be like before." Xu Rongrong was also a little sad, but Wen Shanshan was already sad. If she was sad again,
, Ah Nuan spent this birthday feeling sad, so she barely showed a few smiles, although the smile was really ugly.
"Pfft" Wen Shanshan laughed suddenly. She looked at Xu Rongrong's smile that was uglier than crying with her gleaming eyes, and couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, if you can't laugh, stop laughing. Look at you, you are smiling so ugly."
"Okay, let's eat." Xu Rongrong shrugged, took some more food for Wen Shanshan, then lowered his head and ate silently.
No one else spoke, and the sumptuous dinner came to an end.
After Sister Ming cleared the table, Bai Yi took Ah Nuan's hand, went to the kitchen refrigerator, took out the cream cake he had just made a wish for, and put it on the table.
It is the custom of the Zhan family to eat cake after dinner, in order to avoid the situation where the children only eat cake without eating.
Now, after having waited so long for the meal, A Nuan finally saw the beautiful two-layered cake again. She was very excited.
"It's the first time An Nuan has seen such a beautiful cake. It's so beautiful." The little girl, wearing a princess dress, stood in front of the cake, her eyes full of joy.
Such a very beautiful scene, but because of that sentence, it makes people feel very sad.
Xu Rongrong squatted down and put an arm around An Nuan, "An Nuan, this cake is all yours. From now on, you will have a cake every year for your birthday, and it is bigger and more beautiful than this. Mom promised you this, and it will definitely not be the same."
I will break my promise."
"Really, thank you mom." A Nuan's long eyelashes fluttered, her whole person was innocent and sweet.
Xu Rongrong smiled and touched her head, then turned around and took the knife and fork from Tianning's hand, "Nuan, let's cut the cake."
"Yes." Ah Nuan nodded, took the knife and fork from Xu Rongrong's hand, and then took small steps gently towards the table.
At this time, Bai Yi very considerately took a small stool and placed it under A Nuan's feet so that she could reach the cake more comfortably.
"Thank you, brother Bai Yi." Speaking of sweetness, A Nuan felt that she was the queen of sweetness. This thank you was so sweet that it made people feel very warm and comfortable.
"You're welcome." Bai Yi smiled, looking at the girl he had taught him, and thinking about how she looked when she first arrived at Zhan's house, he smiled slightly, she had really changed a lot.
At this time, Ah Nuan held a plastic knife in both hands and slowly separated the cake from beginning to end.
However, because she was young and not very strong, the cut was a little crooked. Fortunately, A Nuan was smart and knew that it was customary to let the birthday girl cut the cake for the first time, so after the first cut, she used the knife in her hand.
He handed it to Xu Rongrong and said, "Can you please mommy to help Anuan cut it open?"
Xu Rongrong smiled and took the knife, cut the cake evenly into ten pieces, and then each person took a portion. Everyone happened to be sitting around the table, so they started eating just like when eating.
Because Ah Nuan is the birthday girl, Xu Rongrong cut the largest piece for Ah Nuan. There was a huge flower on it, which was very beautiful.
Ah Nuan took the fork, carefully scraped a piece off the side and put it into his mouth.
Ah Nuan, who had never eaten butter before, narrowed her eyes.
She couldn't describe the sweetness of the cream, but An Nuan really wanted to cry at that moment.
If possible, how much she would like her grandpa to use this cream too.
After that, Xu Rongrong was keenly aware that An Nuan was holding a small plate and was just there in a daze.
"What's wrong, Ah Nuan?" Xu Rongrong approached Ah Nuan, then lowered his head and asked her softly.
"It's okay, Mom." An Nuan took a breath and tried to suppress her slight nasal sound before saying.
"Do you think of grandpa again?" The first person to see Ah Nuan was Xu Rongrong. Xu Rongrong was also the person who knew best how good the relationship between Ah Nuan and the old man was.
Nowadays, except for the old man, Xu Rongrong could not think of anyone who could make An Nuan unable to say a word even though he was feeling sad.
Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong couldn't help but sigh at how sensitive the child A Nuan was.
She knew that she was already in a new family, and if she kept thinking about her grandfather, she might make her parents and brother unhappy.
Therefore, she would rather endure it than say that she missed her grandpa very much.
"Hey, you kid, if you miss grandpa, just miss grandpa. Don't worry about anything. Children who know that they miss their loved ones are good children in the eyes of their parents." Xu Rongrong spoke softly, with a touch of softness on his face.
smile.
"Mom..." Xu Rongrong's words instantly pierced Ah Nuan's softest heart. After all, she was a ten-year-old child. She threw herself directly into Xu Rongrong's arms and started sobbing softly.
At this time, the movement here also alerted other people who were eating cakes.
Bai had noticed something was wrong with Ah Nuan early on, but because Xu Rongrong was talking to Ah Nuan, he could only endure it and ask again later.
Now he didn't expect An Nuan to start crying. He couldn't care about anything anymore and rushed over directly to hold An Nuan's hand.
And An Nuan's hand tightly grasped Bai Yi's hand as if out of reflex.
All this fell into Xu Rongrong's eyes. A faint smile appeared in her eyes and she said nothing.
At this moment, Bai Yi and Wen Shanshan were anxious.
However, her arms couldn't move easily on her own, so she could only sit on her seat and call anxiously, "Rongrong, what's going on? What's wrong? What's wrong with An Nuan?"
Her anxious and worried expression attracted Bai Yi's sideways glance, but because he was worried about A Nuan, he didn't have time to think so much. He just lowered his head and looked at A Nuan with concern, "A Nuan, what's wrong with you, tell Bai Yi
How about a brother?"
Ah Nuan lowered her head and cried in Xu Rongrong's arms. After hearing Bai Yi's words, she raised her head, and her delicate little face was full of tears.
"Brother Bai Yi." An Nuan opened her mouth and called out in a choked voice.
"Hey." Bai Yi responded tremblingly. Seeing An Nuan cry like that, his heart was trembling and painful.
"A-Nuan is fine." Perhaps because he felt everyone's concerned gazes, or maybe he had finished venting just now, A-Nuan wiped his face, lowered his head and said with some embarrassment.
"A Nuan, if you have something to tell Brother Bai Yi, be obedient, okay?" Bai Yi sat next to A Nuan uneasily, stroking the top of her head with his slender hand, giving her warmth and strength.
"A-Nuan just misses grandpa. It's okay, brother Bai Yi." A-Nuan hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered his head and said in a dull voice, already feeling a little unhappy.
Bai instantly understood why An Nuan cried and why he recovered so quickly.
However, while comprehending, he also lowered his head and blamed himself secretly. Ah Nuan had stopped thinking about it, but he had to ask, so his mood dropped again. What a fool, fool.
In order to prevent Ah Nuan from continuing to feel depressed, Bai Yi chose to change the subject, "Ah Nuan, you were so solemn when you made your wish just now. Can you tell me what wish you made?"
When she mentioned this, A Nuan's originally depressed face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Bai Yi with her eyes, and her voice was as low as a mosquito, "No, it's nothing, brother Bai Yi."
.”
Although Bai Yi is quick-minded, he is still young after all and does not understand the meaning of a girl's blushing face, so he stupidly asked, "What exactly are you promising? Tell Brother Bai Yi secretly, and Brother Bai Yi won't tell anyone else, okay?"
"
Ah Nuan's face became increasingly red with embarrassment, but she didn't like rejecting Brother Bai Yi, so she leaned her head and whispered, "I hope our family can be together forever..."
I made two wishes and only said one, so it wouldn't be considered a lie. After all, Brother Bai Yi didn't ask me to tell everything.
Thinking this way, Ah Nuan felt much more at ease and her face was no longer so red.
When Bai Yi heard Ah Nuan's wish, he kissed her gently on the face and said, "Ah Nuan is so good, let's continue eating cake."
After saying that, he moved A-Nuan's plate of cake over and put it in front of A-Nuan, then picked up the piece of flower with a fork and put it into A-Nuan's mouth.
Xu Rongrong and Wen Shanshan were at the side, quietly watching the interaction between the two children.
