Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 219
Chapter 219 Cozy Family Dinner
When Madam Xu saw An Zixi enter the kitchen, she hurriedly put down the things in her hands and helped An Zixi, saying, “Zixi, why did you come in? This place is very messy. If you accidentally touch it, what should we do? You should quickly go out and wait for me to prepare dinner before calling you guys.”
Madam Xu was too cautious towards An Zixi. She was afraid that she would kowtow and touch her. She only wished An Zixi could lie on the bed and rest at all times, making An Zixi laugh and cry.
‘”Mom, I’m fine. I just wanted to accompany you and see if I could help you. If I can’t help you, I can chat with you! Otherwise, it would be too lonely for you to work here by yourself.”
Hearing An Zixi’s understanding, Madam Xu’s eyes became moist and she hurriedly said, “Good, good. Zixi, you don’t need to do anything. Just chat with mom. Mom is already there.”
Seeing Madam Xu’s excited expression, An Zixi grabbed Madam Xu’s arm and said, “Mom, alright, I’m back. Our family will never be separated again. Don’t cry on this great day. The whole family is happy.”
“Alright, Zixi, mom doesn’t cry. We are all happy. We will never part again. Zixi, can you tell mom what you’ve experienced in the past few years? Mom wants to lessen her regret.”
The first name that popped up in An Zixi’s mind during these past few years was Tang Jin Chen. However, she could not tell Madam Xu about Tang Jin Chen. Because she did not want Madam Xu to be sad with him, An Zi Xi picked up on the interesting things that had happened to her and told Madam Xu about it.
Filtered out all the bad things that had happened, Madam Xu also heard about An Zixi’s situation, but she didn’t intentionally point it out. After all, those things had already passed. An Zixi would only make her feel uncomfortable if she mentioned them, and she would also feel uncomfortable. Just like An Zixi said earlier, today was a happy day, and she shouldn’t mention those bad things.
An Zixi chatted with Madam Xu while Madam Xu cooked. She felt that it was much lighter. Very quickly, all the delicacies were ready. Madam Xu had the servants bring them to the dining table and brought An Zixi out of the kitchen to the living room.
When they arrived in the living room, Elder Xu was laughing loudly because Lin Qiyuan had told them about An Zixi’s past. When Madam Xu saw this, she asked, “Old man, what did you say to Xiao Yuan? The two of them laughed so happily. It made me and myself happy to say it.”
“Old granny, Xiao Qi is telling me about Zi Xi’s childhood. Come over and sit down. We’ll listen together. Zi Xi was very cute when he was young.”
An Zixi knew that Lin Qiyuan must have told Elder Xu all the stupid things he had done when he was young. He blushed and then rolled his eyes at Lin Qiyuan, “Dad, don’t listen to him. Mom has already cooked dinner. Let’s go eat quickly! Otherwise, the food will be cold.”
Madam Xu saw that An Zixi was embarrassed. She hurriedly helped An Zixi and said, “Old man, stop talking. The food is already on the table. It’s not delicious when it’s cold. In addition, Zixi must be hungry after flying for so long. Let’s quickly let her eat! If you want to talk about it, we’ll talk about it after dinner.”
Since Madam Xu had spoken, Elder Xu could only obey. Therefore, Elder Xu stood up and patted Lin Qiyuan’s shoulder and said, “Little Qi! Let’s go eat first! After dinner, you must have a good taste of your aunt’s cooking. If Zi Xi hadn’t returned, I wouldn’t have had such a good taste.”
Lin Qiyuan also noticed An Zixi’s gaze. He didn’t dare to continue, so he hurriedly said, “Alright! Uncle Xu, let’s go eat! Coincidentally, I’m also a little hungry. I must try my aunt’s cooking today. Otherwise, I don’t know when I’ll be waiting for the next time I feel like eating.”
“It’s fine, Xiao Qi. As long as you want to eat, you can come home. Auntie will make it for you. I guarantee that you will come and I will make it for you. I will definitely let you eat enough. You won’t want to eat the food cooked by Auntie anymore.” Mrs. Xu hurriedly said after hearing Lin Qiyuan’s words.
Madam Xu liked Lin Qiyuan very much. Moreover, Lin Qiyuan had taken care of An Zixi for so long, so in Madam Xu’s heart, Lin Qiyuan was her other child. In fact, Madam Xu really wanted Lin Qiyuan to be able to walk with An Zixi. She believed that Lin Qiyuan would definitely take good care of An Zixi.
This made Elder Xu a little jealous. He couldn’t help but curl his lips like a child and say, “Xiao Qi, my old lady treats you better than me. I might not even be able to eat the food she cooked at any time, so you really make me envious!” After Elder Xu finished speaking, Madam Xu rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
Looking at Old Xu’s childish appearance and the interaction with Madam Xu, An Zixi and Lin Qiyuan were very envious. Because there weren’t many people who loved the two old men like this anymore. It was really not easy for them to be able to nurture each other.
Lin Qiyuan said enviously, “Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, your relationship is really good! It makes me want to get married soon.”
Madam Xu smiled and said, “Little Qi! Whoever has a good relationship with this old man, our relationship is not good. I’m going to have dinner soon! The food will be cold soon.”
After saying that, Madam Xu pestered Elder Xu and walked towards the restaurant. This made An Zixi and Lin Qiyuan even more envious. They felt great emotions in their hearts. Lin Qiyuan looked at An Zixi beside him and hoped that he and An Zixi would be able to nurture each other like this. Even when they were old, they would still hold each other’s hands tightly.
The first name that popped up in An Zixi’s mind was indeed Tang Jin Chen. However, at the same time that these three words popped up, An Zi Xi told himself that it was just a dream. Now that he woke up, the person in the dream no longer existed. Therefore, he could not think too much about it in the future, even if he only thought about it.
When Elder Xu and Madam Xu entered the restaurant, they discovered that An Zixi and Lin Qiyuan hadn’t come yet, so they hurriedly shouted, “Zixi, Xiaoqi, it’s time for dinner. Why aren’t you here yet?”
Hearing Elder Xu’s words, An Zixi and Lin Qiyuan woke up from their fantasies. Lin Qiyuan hurriedly helped An Zixi and Lin Qiyuan into the kitchen. Madam Xu smiled even happier when she saw Lin Qiyuan supporting An Zixi. She casually said, “Old man, take a look. Isn’t Xiao Yuan and Zi Xi a good match?”
“It really is a perfect match!” This time, Elder Xu wasn’t just talking about Madam Xu’s words, but he really felt that An Zixi and Lin Qiyuan were a perfect match. Seeing Lin Qiyuan slowly walk away with An Zixi, he felt that the two of them seemed to be made for each other.
Madam Xu, Elder Xu’s words are said in Lin Qiyuan’s heart. He also hopes that he and An Zixi are together, so the smile on his face is even more obvious. An Zixi gave you Elder Xu and Madam Xu’s words, but they are slightly stunned because he doesn’t know if she can still film Lin Qiyuan.
Actually, An Zixi had thought about being with Lin Qiyuan many times. However, when he thought of Lin Qiyuan, who was already a celebrity and the dream lover of many young girls, and himself, who was an unmarried mother, he felt that he was unworthy of Lin Qiyuan. Therefore, whenever An Zixi had such thoughts, he would immediately kill him in the cradle.
Now that Elder Xu and Madam Xu had suggested it, An Zixi was really a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said, “Alright, Mom and Dad, I’m hungry. Let’s eat! The food has been served for a long time, and it’s almost cold.”
Hearing An Zixi say that he was hungry, Elder Xu and Madam Xu’s attention returned to An Zixi. After all, An Zixi was the most important thing to them, so the two of them quickly stopped talking. Lin Qiyuan placed An Zixi in a seat and sat down beside An Zixi.
Elder Xu and Madam Xu kept helping An Zixi with the dishes, so much so that An Zixi’s bowl was already stacked high. So when Madam Xu helped An Zixi with the dishes again, An Zixi said, “Mom and Dad, you don’t have to help me with the dishes. There are still a lot of dishes left in my bowl. You guys eat more. I can take care of myself.”
Originally, An Zixi’s words made Elder Xu and Madam Xu feel a little sad in their hearts. However, after seeing that there were indeed many talents in An Zixi’s bowl, she did not say anything. An Zixi knew that Old Xu and Madam Xu would be sad if she said so, so she hurriedly served the dishes to Old Xu and Madam Xu and said, “Mom and Dad, eat quickly. Mom’s dishes are really delicious.”
Seeing An Zixi helping them with the dishes, Old Xu and Madam Xu felt much better. When Madam Xu heard An Zixi praising her for cooking delicious food, Madam Xu was so happy that she said from ear to ear, “You can eat more delicious food. In the future, tell Mom what you want to eat, and Mom will personally cook for you.”
Looking at Elder Xu and Madam Xu, who were very happy just because of their words, An Zixi was very touched because he knew that Elder Xu and Madam Xu really loved him. It was also because they loved him that they were so happy because of their words and actions.
As a result, An Zixi’s appetite was better and his food was even more delicious. An Zixi did not allow him to eat any more food. There was also Lin Qiyuan, so Madam Xu began to serve Lin Qiyuan more food. Lin Qiyuan accepted it happily and said, “Auntie, the food you cooked is really too delicious. I’m so afraid that I won’t be able to eat anything else.”
“It’s fine, Xiao Yuan. You can eat as much as you like. When you want to eat in the future, you can come home. Auntie will make it for you. I will definitely let you eat enough.”
The dining table was a delightful scene. This was also the most time An Zixi had eaten since she was pregnant. It could be said that she did not stop her mouth from sitting at the dining table until she could no longer walk. Lin Qiyuan helped him leave. Madam Xu was very happy to see An Zixi like to eat her own food so much. His heart was also very satisfied.
