Chapter 124 - 33: Luggage
Shen Chi obviously knew about Lin Xiaoxi’s arrival and brought back not only the dishes from the family cafeteria but also two bottles of Maotai.
"Xiaoxi, shall we have a few drinks later?" Shen Chi said with a smile as he transferred the food from the lunchbox to the plates.
His casual manner made it seem as if the two were old friends that had known each other for years. Lin Xiaoxi, feeling a bit awkward, relaxed and smiled, "Sure, I haven’t tried genuine Maotai before."
Lin Xiaoxi watched Shen Chi help her wash the vegetables and asked, "Where did this Maotai come from?"
"I asked someone for it." Shen Chi didn’t want to delve into details and shook the green onion in his hand, asking, "Should I chop this into sections or mince it?"
"Mince it." Lin Xiaoguai responded and then said to Lin Xiaoxi, "Xiao Guai, why don’t you go to the living room to watch TV? Just keep an eye on Little Niangao for me."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded and carried her nephew to the living room, feeling much relieved inside. It seemed that her younger sister was indeed living a good life.
At the dinner table, Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoxi drank and chatted. Shen Chi brought up most of the topics, asking about family affairs, business matters, and the children’s situation, creating a rather pleasant atmosphere.
"Xiao Guai, how’s Sister Hanfang doing these days?" Lin Xiaoguai asked Lin Xiaoxi, giving her a shrimp.
Lin Xiaoxi’s expression froze, and she didn’t hide anything from her sister. "Not very well. She was recently diagnosed with a cold uterus. I’m not rushed about having children, but Mom is really worried, afraid she won’t live to see a grandchild. Hanfang is anxious too. They’ve been trying all sorts of things, which is why I don’t really want to stay at home lately."
