Chapter 821 - 786: Unreliable Mom (2)_2
"I had some matters to deal with and didn’t realize it was so late. What’s up, did you miss me?" As soon as Xiao Muli saw Situ Xin, the gloom in his heart completely dissipated. Xiao Muli could not understand why, whenever he was in a bad mood, having Situ Xin by his side, talking to him, instantly uplifted his spirits.
"Cut it out, I wasn’t missing you. Come on, let’s have lunch, I’m hungry." Situ Xin patted her stomach and said.
"Alright, let’s go have lunch. We wouldn’t want my darlings at home to go hungry," Xiao Muli said, putting his hand on Situ Xin’s waist and semi-supporting her as they went downstairs.
When Situ Xin and Xiao Muli reached downstairs, Old Master Xiao and the others were already sitting at the dining table, waiting just for them.
Old Master Xiao, seeing Situ Xin and Xiao Muli, greeted them cheerfully: "You’re down. Come on, sit down and eat. I asked Auntie to specially make the dishes you love, Xiao Xin."
Liu Yun, watching her father-in-law’s obviously preferential treatment, felt uncomfortable again. However, she dared not voice her sentiment loudly, just murmuring under her breath: "Such lack of manners, making elders wait."
Liu Yun’s words were very soft. Her husband, Xiao Guobing, did not hear them, but Situ Xin and Xiao Muli, who have sharp hearing, did. Situ Xin did not take it to heart, but Xiao Muli’s face immediately darkened.
However, he did not react immediately, but instead helped Situ Xin to sit down and started serving her food. He remembered how Situ Xin had just mentioned being hungry, and he thought that all matters could wait until after his wife and child had eaten.
During the meal, Situ Xin ate deliciously. As she ate, she felt fortunate that she had married Xiao Muli and that she had switched all the Xiao family’s food to those from her own provision early on. Otherwise, she would have definitely struggled to adapt after marrying into the family.
Xiao Muli waited for Situ Xin to finish eating and put down her utensils. He then set down his chopsticks and lifted a serious face to look at everyone.
