Qu Ning stood up straight and stared at Fu Xuan with a look of disbelief.
But soon, the disbelief on her face quickly disappeared, and she reminded: "Mr. Fu, there are no cameras here, we can just get along as usual."
In her opinion, this was the only reason why Fu Xuan uncharacteristically said that he wanted to come to see her in advance.
Fu Xuan let out a low chuckle: "How do we usually get along?"
Get along normally?
Is this to... test her?
Qu Ning raised her hand to support her chin. While thinking about how to deal with it, she also thought a little bit about whether there was any fish left. It was estimated that when she went out, there would only be fish bones left...
"Is it because I can't remember, or I don't know what to say?" Fu Xuan looked at her.
Qu Ning blurted out without thinking: "There may not even be fish bones left."
Fu Xuan was startled for a moment, then his eyes widened with a smile: "Ning Ning..."
He called her with an affectionate tone, as if they had been lovers for a long time.
Qu Ning even got goosebumps all over her body. It wasn't that she objected to being called him like this, but it felt very strange. There was obviously no camera and no Fu Suiyan around, so why did he have to be called so affectionately?
Strangely uncomfortable.
"Let's go out to eat," Fu Xuan said to her with a slight smile: "If you delay for a while because of me, I'm afraid the fish bones will really be gone."
Qu Ning coughed twice in embarrassment.
But looking at his confused look, she hesitated slightly: "Then I really went out?"
Fu Xuan picked up the book he had just read and opened it again. He lowered his eyes and asked softly: "Do you want to stay with me all day?"
"I'm leaving now." Qu Ning stopped staying and turned around to go out.
The door was gently closed, and Fu Xuan raised his eyes to look at the door. His eyebrows were soft and his smile could not be softened for a long time.

When Qu Ning came out, Wen Yue was no longer at the dinner table.
Only two little guys, Fu Suiyan and Tang Mianmian, were eating obediently. Fu Suiyan took good care of Mianmian, and he didn't forget to pick out the fish bones first when filling the fish meat for Mianmian.
Mianmian ate deliciously, and Fu Suiyan took care of her throughout the process.
The fish and shredded potatoes were all in front of me, but the plate of fried cabbage with spicy sauce was pushed far away, as if it would be uncomfortable to smell it more.
"Mianmian, where is your mother?" Qu Ning came over and asked.
"Mom is gone." Tang Mianmian's cheeks were bulging, and there was a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth.
It seems that the food is to her liking, which is why she eats it so deliciously.
Fu Suiyan said: "It wasn't because of you that the spicy cabbage made Aunt Wen cry. She couldn't eat it at all, so she left."
Qu Ning sat down calmly: "She said she could eat it spicy, so I put a little more chili sauce in it. Is it that spicy?"
Fu Suiyan thought that Qu Ning would feel guilty when he heard him say that Aunt Wen cried because of being hot, but Qu Ning looked unconcerned and didn't feel guilty at all.
My aunt is right, she is a very vicious person.
"Look at whose cabbage there is so much chili sauce. You are deliberately bullying Aunt Wen." Fu Suiyan was angry on Aunt Wen's behalf.
No one would feel comfortable if his son said that.
Tang Mianmian said to Fu Suiyan very sensibly: "It doesn't matter every year. My mother can just take a rest."
Fu Suiyan: "But she won't come back for dinner. She will definitely not want to come to our house for dinner in the future."
[Sui Sui said Qu Ning like this, wouldn’t Qu Ning feel uncomfortable? 】
[It’s weird to feel uncomfortable, since I’m not my biological child, so I don’t feel anything at all inside. 】
[However, Qu Ning’s cooking this time was indeed not authentic. I was still holding on to the guess that the hot sauce might not be that spicy, but I didn’t expect it to make Wen Yuela cry. 】
[Fortunately, it’s Wen Yue. If Qu Ning dares to treat Shen Yu like this, he will probably be bullied by the Internet. 】
Qu Ning was indeed very calm, and there wasn't even a hint of discomfort on her face.
Her hand holding the chopsticks reached for the plate of stir-fried cabbage with spicy sauce, then took a chopstick and put it in her mouth.
The moment the cabbage mixed with hot sauce entered her mouth, Qu Ning had no expression on her face. After chewing a few mouthfuls, her face gradually changed.
Fu Suiyan looked like he was watching a good show: "You know it's spicy, right?"
Qu Ning glanced at him: "It's okay, it's not very spicy."
After saying that, she ate a few more mouthfuls of cabbage in front of Fu Suiyan, with an expressionless look on her face, as if the cabbage was really not spicy at all.
Fu Suiyan felt something was wrong: "Aunt Wen is even crying, so stop being so stubborn."
Qu Ning said while eating: "It's not spicy, I think it's just right."
After saying that, she picked up another chopstick of cabbage, which was covered with red chili sauce, and ate it into her mouth without even frowning.
Fu Suiyan saw that Qu Ning tasted so delicious and didn't feel spicy at all, so he had the idea of trying it himself.
So Fu Suiyan took a chopstick with the intention of giving it a try. He smelled it briefly, then stuck out his tongue and took a lick.
For the first three seconds, Fu Suiyan had no expression on his face.
Three seconds later, Fu Suiyan's whole face was wrinkled into a bun. He put down his chopsticks and kept sticking out his tongue: "Sihasha, so spicy, so spicy..."
Qu Ning put down her chopsticks with a sly smile on her face: "Just because I can bear it doesn't mean you can bear it. Being curious about everything will only hurt you."
Fu Suiyan covered his mouth: "Uuuuuuuuuuuu, you liar..."
Qu Ning raised her hand to support her chin: "You can't tell the difference yourself."
Fu Suiyan's face turned red from the heat of the little chili pepper: "You're still smiling!"
Qu Ning: "Sorry, I'm smiling."
"..." Fu Suiyan puffed up his cheeks and shouted angrily: "You are so cunning, you must be a monkey."
"I'm sorry, I'm a tiger." Qu Ning gestured with claws and claws with both hands, "Tiger is the most ferocious, and it also likes to eat children with thin skin and tender meat like you. Wow~ One bite at a time~"
Fu Suiyan snorted and turned his head: "Terrible tigress."
Tang Mianmian was frequently amused by the interactions between Qu Ning and Fu Suiyan.
For Tang Mianmian, Aunt Qu's state is her ideal mother's state.
How she wished her mother could tease her every day like Aunt Qu. Mother and daughter would have endless things to say every day, instead of her mother always being taciturn.

After lunch.
Qu Ning directed Fu Suiyan to wash the dishes.
How could Fu Suiyan be so willing: "How can I possibly wash it clean? You are too naive."
"Life is ninety-nine, innocence is ninety-eight," Qu Ning said, "It doesn't matter if you can't wash it clean. Just use it at night, as long as you don't mind it being dirty."
"How can that be done..." Fu Suiyan was very reluctant: "You can order me around."
"Because I want to send Mianmian back to her mother." Qu Ning said.
When he heard that Mianmian was about to be sent away, Fu Suiyan raised his hand and said, "I'll send Mianmian back!"
Qu Ning nodded: "Okay, then you go."
Fu Suiyan was stunned: "Are you going to agree now?"
Qu Ning, who was standing on the steps, shrugged: "What else?"
"You didn't even bargain." Fu Suiyan was puzzled.
Qu Ning: "Cut."
Fu Suiyan: (￣_￣|||) I’m despised!
"Mianmian."
At this time, Wen Yue's voice came from the door, she came to pick up her daughter.
"What a coincidence, Mianmian's mother came by herself." Qu Ning looked at Fu Suiyan: "It seems you still have to wash the dishes."
Fu Suiyan: "..."
Tang Mianmian had already stepped down the steps, rushed to Wen Yue, and hugged her: "Mom, come pick me up."
Wen Yue's overall mood and state seemed to be better than a little bit: "Well, mom is here to pick you up."
With that said, Wen Yue led Tang Mianmian to Qu Ning and smiled gratefully at Qu Ning: "Thank you."
Qu Ning pretended not to understand: "Why are you thanking me? You helped me with the work and left without even eating. I feel really bad about it."
Wen Yue had a bright smile on her face and said to Qu Ning again: "Thank you."
Wen Yue said thank you twice to Qu Ning, and she seemed to be in much better condition. The audience was confused.
[Has anyone noticed that Wen Yue’s condition seems much better? 】
[I cried because of Qu Ning’s cabbage and walked away. If it were me who wouldn’t give Qu Ning a good look, Wen Yue actually said thank you to Qu Ning twice. 】
[A thank you to Qu Ning for taking care of Mianmian is understandable, but what about another thank you? 】
