Chapter 40: Willing to Listen
The frown between Lin Xiao Feng’s eyes did not disappear, no matter how hard he reminded himself to calm down. A faint sigh escaped his lips as he glanced at An Nuan who was seated next to him.
It was good that An Nuan was not afraid of his grandfather.
"What are you doing?" Lin Chuan glanced at the small pastries and fruits that his daughter-in-law had prepared before turning to An Nuan. "Why don’t you eat? Is the food not to your liking?"
An Nuan tried to smile. "Well, everything looked delicious. I don’t know where to start."
Lin Xiao Feng stretched his hand and reached for the small egg tarts that his mother made and placed them on An Nuan’s plate. "You should try this. My mother made delicious egg tart."
"Thank you." An Nuan shot a thankful smile to Lin Xiao Feng. She reached for the egg tart, feeling awkward that everyone was looking at her. An Nuan placed the egg tart back on her plate before reaching for another piece for the old man. "Grandfather, you should eat as well."
Lin Chuan was startled to see the egg tart appearing on his plate. He raised his head to meet his grandson’s eyes as if saying that his grandson was not considerate enough.
His grandson only knew to place the pastry on his wife’s plate. He had forgotten about this old man.
The old man lowered his head to take a bite of his pastry. When he raised his head again, Lin Chuan could see that the atmosphere around the table was no longer as intense.
