"Ahem, lunch is ready, what are you still looking for?" It's not that Lao Zhen has never seen Ms. Wang Shuzhen look smitten. It's okay for her to be infatuated with Chen Zui on TV, but it's inappropriate to do it in front of him.
“Chen Zui’er looks good so I just like to watch him.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen said this and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork with her chopsticks and put it in Chen Zui’s bowl. “Try the sweet and sour pork I made. Our Tiantian loves this dish.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Chen Zui took a bite under her gaze. He smiled and praised, “It’s delicious. Auntie’s cooking skills are better than mine.”
Hearing this, Ms. Wang Shuzhen’s eyes became bigger, “You know how to cook?”
“En.” Chen Zui thought for a while and thought it best not to bring up Chen Yiran. He didn’t say anything but Zhen Tian spoke up, “Senior has a kid at home so he cooks as much as possible at home.”
As Zhen Tian spoke, the light in Ms. Wang Shuzhen’s eyes dimmed like a flashlight running out of batteries, “Chen Zui’er already has a child?”
“He’s my nephew.” At this point, Chen Zui doesn’t want to hide it anymore. Besides, he will tell them sooner or later, “His parents passed away so he lives with me.”
“Ah, so it’s like this.” Ms. wang Shuzhen nodded, “It must be hard on you.”
“Shanshan is very obedient and sensible. He doesn’t make people worry at all.” Zhen Tian spoke up for Chen Yiran again. Chen Zui looked at her and in his heart agreed that he was obedient and sensible but definitely worrisome.
But he didn’t say anything.
This time, Ms. Wang Shuzhen wasn’t able to speak up first. Zhen Xi, who had been silent the entire time let out an “oh” and said, “Yesterday, you all went to the amusement park together?”
“Yes, why?”
Zhen Xi didn't answer. He thought that Zhen Tian just had a man she liked and was in love, but he didn't expect that he even had a cheap son?
Zhen Tian herself may not feel anything, but he can't guarantee that his parents have no opinion. If Zhen Tian is really with Anchor Chen, they must raise this nephew together. It is human nature for parents to care for their daughter.
Disregarding the parents, as the older brother, he also has some opinions.
Chen Zui naturally thought of these things long ago, but this is an unavoidable problem. The dining table was quiet for a moment, and Ms. Wang Shuzhen put another spoonful of mapo tofu into Chen Zui's bowl, "This is also my specialty dish, try it."
“Ok, thank you, auntie.” Chen Zui smiled at her. Ms. Wang Shuzhen clutched her heart and felt her hibernating heart become lively again.
“Don’t just sit there, everyone, eat.” Zhen Tian urged when she saw no one moving their chopsticks
Everyone actively responded to her words, and the dining table finally became lively again. While eating, Ms. Wang Shuzhen asked Chen Zui, "You and our Tiantian went to the same high school?"
"En, I'm two grades ahead of her. I was a senior when she was a freshman."
"Oh, then why didn't I hear our Tiantian mention it." Ms. Wang Shuzhen looked at Zhen Tian with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
Zhen Tian wordlessly continued to pick on the food in her bowl. Of course, she would not seek out the boy that her mother likes.
Chen Zui looked at Zhen Tian and chuckled, “Maybe I have nothing worth mentioning.”
"That's not the case!" Before Ms. Wang Shuzhen could refute this, Zhen Tian spoke up first. She glanced at Ms. Wang Shuzhen and clicked her tongue, "I don't have to tell you everything."
Zhen Xi looked at her thoughtfully, and then at Chen Zui beside her.
Have these two been dating for a while now? As the older brother, he didn’t notice at all!
"Cough." Lao Zhen coughed, indicating that it was his turn to ask questions, "Xiao Chen works in a TV station, are you usually busy?"
The corner of Zhen Tian’s mouth twitched. How did it suddenly become Xian Chen?
"The work of the TV station is relatively busy, but I can still take care of my life."
"But you still have to take care of your nephew, so you don't have much time to date, right?" In fact, what he wanted to ask was, would he have no time to take care of Tiantian? However, today Zhen Tian brought him back, and she didn't say he was her boyfriend. Only her mother got excited, making it look like a fan meeting.
Zhen Tian intervened, "Dad, isn't the company's affairs enough for you to worry about? You also have to worry about other people's relationships?"
Lao Zhen now believes in the saying “a woman is born to leave her family.” He hasn’t said much and she is already protective, “What’s wrong with asking. Can I not ask?”
Zhen Tian wanted to say something but Chen Zui grabbed her hands and said, “My nephew is 8 years old this year. He can take care of his basic needs and I don’t need to worry much about his studies. His academic performance is very good.”
Zhen Tian was afraid that Chen Zui would be at a disadvantage, so she quickly echoed him, "Yes, Shanshan is so smart! Even better than Zhen Xi!"
Zhen Xi’s face is full of question marks. Isn’t she being too partial? Is he still inferior to an eight-year-old kid? He is her own brother!
"The child brought up by Chen Zui'er must be as smart and capable as he is, and also good-looking." Ms. Wang Shuzhen said blindly.
Zhen Xi and Lao Zhen stopped talking.
After the meal, Ms. Wang Shuzhen had Chen Zui sit at home for a while. As the hostess, she went to cut fruit for him to eat, and took Zhen Tian to the kitchen to help her.
"Tell me about what's going on between you and Chen Zui'er." Because the kitchen is open concept, Ms. Wang Shuzhen didn't want to make too much noise. However, the knife in her hand went down with a "bang-dang" sound and cut the apples into pieces.
The corner of Zhen Tian’s mouth twitched. She felt that Ms. Wang Shuzhen might be taking the apple for her head.
“What's going on?"
Ms. Wang Shuzhen glanced at her, "Are you still playing dumb with me? Don't tell me that you are not interested in Chen Zui'er. Even the blind can see it from your behavior at the dinner table just now."
Zhen Tian, “....”
No way. Was she that obvious? Does senior notice something too?
"Didn't you say that if I had the ability, I would bring the real person home? Now that I have brought it back, why are you talking so much?" Zhen Tian decided to pretend to be stupid to the end.
Ms. Wang Shuzhen sneered, “What does bringing him home account for? If you have the ability, turn him into my son-in-law!”
Zhen Tian, “....”
People really are getting more and more greedy!
“These fruits are ready, right? I will take them out.” Zhen Tian picked up the plates on the table and brought them out.
“Senior, Dad, eat some fruits.” She put the fruit plate down on the coffee table and smiled at them, “What are you talking about so happily?”
Zhen Xi sneered at the side. He picked up a piece of apple and put it in his mouth, “Don’t worry, we’re not bullying your senior.”
“What, I am not saying you are bullying him!” Zhen Tian increased her volume, trying to cover up her embarrassment. Chen Zui seemed to understand her thoughts and covered for her, “We are talking about my new show.”
Ms. Wang Shuzhen came out with a plate of fruits. When she heard this, she exclaimed in surprise, “What, Chen Zui’er is having a new show?”
“En, I’m taking over Lao Zheng’s talk show.”
This sentence was said by Lao Zhen, and Ms. Wang Shuzhen immediately understood after hearing it. Lao Zhen doesn't usually watch TV, but Zheng Weiguo has been active on the TV screen for more than 30 years. There are very few people in China who don't know him.
Lao Zhen also watched his show and spoke highly of him, but in the past few years, Zheng Weiguo hosted fewer and fewer shows.
"I just heard from Xiao Chen that Lao Zheng's health is not good, and he may have to retire." Lao Zhen murmured, "Time is not forgiving, we are all old in the blink of an eye."
He originally had some opinions about his daughter falling in love so early, but now he suddenly found that the time he could spend with his children was getting less and less.
The people who can accompany Zhen Tian for a lifetime are not them, the parents.
"What are you doing being so sad all of a sudden?" Ms. Wang Shuzhen put down the fruit and sat down on the sofa. "This is not a bad thing for Zheng Weiguo. After a busy life, he should live in ease and comfort. Besides, isn’t there Chen Zui’er's show that replaces it?"
Lao Zhen understood that her focus was on Xiao Chen's new show.
The family chatted for a while while eating fruit before Ms. Wang Shuzhen finally let Chen Zui go home.
"Zhen Tian, go send him off." She ordered.
"Oh." Zhen Tian followed Chen Zui out and stopped Pudding, who was about to run out, in the room.
Chen Zui's car was parked in front of the garden. Zhen Tian followed him into the car and put on her seat belt. Chen Zui glanced at her with a smile on his lips and started the car.
Zhen Tian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with how she was sending him off, and chatted with Chen Zui, "I'm sorry, senior. My parents may have misunderstood us and asked you a lot of questions."
Chen Zui raised his eyebrows and pretended to not understand, "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"
“Uh…” Zhen Tian subconsciously played with the seat belt on her waist, “They seem to have misunderstood that we are dating and thought you are my boyfriend.”
“Oh, I see.” Chen Zui flatly said with no emotion.
Zhen Tian nodded and said, "If they say something that makes you unhappy, don't take it to heart, they didn't mean it."
"En." Chen Zui responded, and slowly drove the car out of the community where Zhen Tian lived, "What if, I said it was not a misunderstanding?"
“What?” Zhen Tian doesn’t know how to react.
“What if it’s not a misunderstanding between us?” Chen Zui slowly moved the car to the side of the road and put it on park.
Zhen Tian frowned as if thinking about some difficult problem. But only she knew how fast her heart was beating now.
“If it’s not a misunderstanding then what is it?” She heard herself ask.
Chen Zui looked at her. His eyes were like the strongest wine Zhen Tian had ever drunk, making her intoxicated.
The car was very quiet except for the sound of their breathing. Chen Zui unfastened his seat belt and leaned over, “It’s this.”
Along with these words was a gentle kiss.
Zhu Ling once told Zhen Tian, that the moment a man falls in love with a woman, he wants to kiss her.
The same is true for Chen Zui to Zhen Tian.
