Chapter 43 - Meeting the Parents (Part 2) (1/2)

At the Xia Family Old Residence, the family of four plus the Di twins were having a rather special breakfast.

If you would not agree that a breakfast with the mother ignoring her whole family and only focusing on one of her guest was special, then what else should it be called?

Di Yi was quite speechless as he glanced at Madam Xia's beautiful profile.

The Madam had not yet finished piling up food on his plate!

But seeing her genuine concern towards his welfare, Di Yi could not bring himself to tell her that he was already full.

Unable to reject the Madam's kind hospitality, Di Yi thanked her before digging into the small pile of food in his plate.

Xia Jinhu felt ache for his knight in shining armor as he watched him eat another plate despite just finishing the last one.

But even though he wished to share Di Yi's burden, Xia Jinhu did not want to put himself on the firing line.

His mother can be quite scary sometimes, alright!

The least he could do now was to silently cheer him on, 'You can do it!'

Suddenly, as if hearing Xia Jinhu's encouragement, Di Yi raised his head and looked at his direction. Their gazes met and at that moment, Xia Jinhu found himself lost in the other party's smile.

Xia Jinhu continued to stare at Di Yi for a whole minute before glancing back down at his half-eaten food, muttering under his breath, ”It's unfair!”

Why was there such a beautiful man in this world?

”What did you say, Jinhu?” Madam Xia's voice was very light without showing any hint of displeasure.

Xia Jinhu was startled when he heard his name being called. Apparently, he had not realized that he had said his thoughts out loud.

Master Xia who had not yet spoken since the start of the meal turned to his wife, ”Don't mind his gibberish, Jinqiu. He probably had just thought of another scene for his novel.”

Noticing the distracted look on Xia Jinhu's face and realizing that his husband was right, Madam Xia did not bother about him any longer and just turned her attention back on Di Yi.

”As I was saying...” and the two were once again back in their own little world.

Master Xia could only give an apologetic smile towards Di Yi as he watched his wife do as she pleased.

He was clearly on his wife doting mode!

Whatever the wife wants, goes!

Not long after, small talks sparked here and there while they were eating. The four previously neglected men were fortunately included in the conversation.
