The second and third eldest son of his family, as well as his brother-in-law, were all so diligent in helping his daughter-in-law peel seafood. Not to be outdone, Lu Chen quickly joined the seafood peeling camp.
All the men at the table, except Si Nian, were obediently serving their wives. Rong Xiaoxia pouted and poked Si Nian with his elbow, silently reminding him to take the initiative.
Si Nian doesn't understand at all and just picks up the food and eats by himself.
Rong Xiaoxia secretly scolded this straight man thousands of times, and reminded him through gritted teeth in a low voice, "You can peel one off for me too."
"You want to eat crabs too?"
Rong Xiaoxia held back her anger and nodded with a smile.
With eyes as old as age, he scanned the entire table of sumptuous seafood, and finally took out a crab, deftly dismantled it and peeled it open.
He took off the plump crab roe and handed it to Rong Xiaoxia's mouth for the first time, "Would you like to eat it?"
Rong Xiaoxia was surprised and flattered by his action of preparing to feed him, and shouted sweetly: "Thank you, brother Si Nian."
She licked her lips and opened her mouth to eat the crab roe in his hand, but when the corner of her mouth was about to touch the crab roe, she bit into it.
Si Nian quickly took his hand back and fed the crab roe into his mouth. He was so bad that he said, "If you want to eat it, peel it yourself. These couples are all married or unmarried. We are different. It's not appropriate to feed it back and forth. It's not appropriate."
We must imitate them.”
Rong Xiaoxia's eyes were red. She didn't eat the crab roe and was taught. She was almost wronged to death. "Why is it different? There is such a good atmosphere tonight, in groups of two, we can also pretend to be a couple!"
Si Nian shook his head, "We are not a couple, I raised you. If you want, you can call me daddy, and then I will peel the shrimps for my good daughter."
Rong Xiaoxia was furious, "Ji Si Nian! You want to take advantage of me!"
Si Nian cannot agree with the accusation against her, "By asking you to call me daddy, you are taking advantage? Then if I pretend to be a couple with you and let you call me your boyfriend, wouldn't I take advantage even more?"
He thought he was right until Ji Yuting gave him a bang with chopsticks.
"Shengsheng said that you are too straight and don't know how to bend your mind. After seeing you tonight, I realized that your emotional intelligence is ridiculously low. As the incoming deputy bureau of our country's Bureau of Investigation, how can you be like a blockhead?"
Si Nian obediently listened to his teachings without any objection.
Everyone at the dinner table quickly noticed the key words in Ji Yuting's words.
Lu Hua: "You will be promoted to deputy bureau this year? Congratulations."
Shengge also nodded and praised: "From the fourth captain to the deputy director, his strength is worth it."
Being praised, Si Nian chuckled: "Sister-in-law Xie and Young Master Hua praised me, it's all because of my brother's deliberate promotion."
Shengge suddenly changed the subject, "But my husband is right, the deputy director needs to be more diplomatic. How can he have such a low emotional intelligence? Si Nian, honestly, do you like Xiaoxia?"
She could see that Rong Xiaoxia had only Xi Nian in her heart and eyes, whom she once regarded as her idol and her only true love.
And the care and attention he has shown to Rong Xiaoxia over the years clearly shows that he has feelings for her, but his feelings are too dull.
Rong Xiaoxia was also afraid that Si Nian would not like her, so she never dared to confess her feelings first.
Taking this opportunity tonight, Shengge wanted to be a matchmaker and help them break through this layer of paper.
Suddenly asked a question, Rong Xiaoxia lowered her head and squeezed her palms nervously.
She was looking forward to being able to give her an answer that pleased her, but she was afraid that she would be given an answer that would disappoint her.
My heart was as complicated as taking eighteen turns on a mountain road.
Si Nian, who was at the center of the topic, was also stunned.
He was silent for a long time without answering. He seemed to be thinking deeply about the answer in his heart and treated this topic very carefully.
