Chapter 182: Chapter 182 Intentionally looking for trouble?

Shen Yibo gave Song Yuchen a sheepish smile and said, "Auntie’s food is just so delicious, I don’t want to go home to eat."

"Me too, me too, and if I go back, I won’t have any food to eat," Gu Xiaoran said, always managing to sound a bit pitiable.

Song Yuchen glanced at the two with a speechless snort of disbelief.

Ye Zhenzhen thought about the rice still in the cooker, having enough for the little ones to have another bowl was no problem at all.

She smiled and said softly, "You can have more, but you two must not be picky eaters.

This cabbage is very sweet and tasty. In addition to eating the meat, you also need to eat your greens, okay?

If that’s not enough, Auntie will make some more for you right away."

After all, there were plenty of vegetables left in the kitchen, as long as the little ones were full and happy that was what mattered.

Song Yuchen nodded along with his mom, took a chopstick of cabbage, and put it in his mouth, "Yeah, my mom makes everything taste good, you guys only know how to eat meat!"

While he said this, Xiao Chen’s little face showed a bit of disdain and the suggestion that the others didn’t appreciate good food.

Shen Yibo and Gu Xiaoran looked at each other, then at Song Yuchen, and quickly followed suit by grabbing a chopstick of greens to eat.

"Mmm~ it’s really delicious, Auntie, the food you make is really, really amazing!" Shen Yibo laughed heartily with praise.

Song Yuchen wrinkled his little nose, "Just eat up and enjoy it!"

Sucking up endlessly, huh!

Gu Xiaoran, too preoccupied to speak, took another chopstick full of cabbage, too delicious to want to say much else.

Just now, he was only focused on competing with Shen Yibo for carrots and meat, completely overlooking the greens, not realizing that Aunt Zhenzhen’s stir-fried vegetables were so tasty.

Song Yuchen pouted and continued to grumble, "I shouldn’t have said the greens were tasty."

Watching as the vegetables were about to be gobbled up by Gu Xiaoran and Shen Yibo...

Xiao Chen felt so speechless inside!

[Seeing these three little cuties eating, I just couldn’t stop laughing.]

[My son, who doesn’t love eating, got really envigorated seeing this, saying he was afraid Shen Yibo and Gu Xiaoran would come over and snatch his food.]

[Hahaha! The comment above cracked me up!]

[Kids are like that, eating alone is no fun, but with more kids around, it becomes a competition.]

[I need to persuade my bestie to have a baby already, this is just too adorable, competing to eat their food is hilarious.]

Ye Zhenzhen was also amused by these little ones, she took the empty bowls from the two children’s hands, preparing to go to the kitchen and refill them with some more rice.

Then, Han Jiangxue’s voice came from outside the door, "Yibo?"

"Ranran?" An Xi also came over with Han Jiangxue.

Shen Yibo, upon hearing Han Jiangxue calling him, his originally cheerful face turned a bit unnatural;

When his mom arrived, it meant he had to go home for soup.

But he really didn’t want to leave just yet, he still wanted to eat Aunt Zhenzhen’s cooking.

Ye Zhenzhen put down the bowls, went over to open the door, and Han Jiangxue came in from outside, the warmth of the room hitting her face.

This room was even cozier than the heated rooms brought by An Xi’s family.

Han Jiangxue’s gaze casually swept across Ye Zhenzhen’s room, noticing the large oil heater standing inside, and she couldn’t help but feel disheartened. Was this the heater Xiaowen spoke of?

Moreover, the temperature in Ye Zhenzhen’s room was clearly higher than the other three rooms equipped with large heated beds.

At that moment, Han Jiangxue suddenly felt some regret, recalling how cold she felt while cooking in the kitchen earlier, even with her thick down jacket on.

She should have listened to her mother-in-law yesterday and brought more warm clothes, so she wouldn’t have had to stand and wait for those three minutes.

Perhaps then, she might have gotten the room with heating.

Ye Zhenzhen asked, "Have you all had dinner?"

Han Jiangxue’s momentary lapse caused her to forget to manage her expression, and her forced smile appeared somewhat stiff, "Just finished cooking, came to call my son to come eat."

An Xi didn’t think as much as Han Jiangxue did. Seeing all the little ones gathered around the table, she asked with a smile, "Zhenzhen, you’re already having dinner?"

They had just come all the way from Xu Wanjia and Lin Qianqian’s rooms, unable to find the children, and here they were in Ye Zhenzhen’s place.

Now looking at the dishes on the dining table and watching Gu Xiaoran gobbling down the cabbage without a care for her mother’s presence or absence.

[Do you think Gu Xiaoran has a grudge against An Xi? Why is he treating his own mom like this?]

[I also find it so strange, Ranran is friendly to everyone else, so why is he so cold towards his own mom?]

[Could it be that she’s not his real mother, but a stepmother?]

[I guess An Xi doesn’t get along with her mother-in-law, and this Gu Xiaoran takes after his grandma, treating his own mom like an enemy.]

An Xi wasn’t annoyed. After all, her son was having dinner at Ye Zhenzhen’s place, which was better than forcing down the unpalatable food she had made.

Ye Zhenzhen replied, "Yes, we are eating right now."

Shen Yibo called out, "Mom, Aunt Zhenzhen’s food is so delicious!"

Han Jiangxue smiled and walked over, her eyes scanning the two plates on the table that were almost empty, the greens and the stir-fried radish and pork, and said with a laugh, "Really? Yibo, you’ve tried Auntie’s cooking?"

Looking at the completely empty two small bowls on the table, Han Jiangxue figured Shen Yibo and Gu Xiaoran must have arrived before them.

Ye Zhenzhen was probably looking to serve more food to the two little ones now.

With so little cooked, just a few bites and it would be gone—did she really have the nerve to invite others to eat here?

Sure enough, someone who can’t make it in the public eye can’t fake it for long on camera, no matter how much praise they received in the first episode; this time, they’ve slipped up.

Shen Yibo nodded vigorously, "Mhm mhm, I’ve tried it, and it’s really tasty!"

Han Jiangxue said with a smile, "Hmm, but the food Aunt Zhenzhen prepared is only enough for her and Xiao Chen. Mom’s pork soup is ready; let’s go back and have some. How about we bring a big bowl of soup over for Xiao Chen later?"

Ye Zhenzhen’s eyebrows raised slightly; the insinuation in Han Jiangxue’s words did not escape her—her meaning was that Ye Zhenzhen hadn’t made enough food.

Was Han Jiangxue suggesting that she had made plenty and could even bring a large bowl over for them, showing off that she was more generous than Ye Zhenzhen?

Ha! This disgusting woman, who snatched her script role before the show, was now purposefully causing trouble?

She still saw Ye Zhenzhen as the original host who would fall for a few instigating words?

Before Ye Zhenzhen could speak up, Shen Yibo’s childish voice cut in ahead of her.

"No!" The little guy immediately refused without a second thought, "Just now Aunt Zhenzhen said she would help Brother Ranran and me get more food, I want to finish eating before going back."

Han Jiangxue looked at the dishes on the table once again, thinking she finally found an opportunity to speak up, grateful for Shen Yibo’s rare moment of camaraderie with her.

"Yibo, there’s too little food here at Auntie’s, and if you finish eating, there won’t be any left for Xiao Chen. Let’s go back and eat, the soup Mom made is so fragrant!"
