Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: I’ll Cook It for You Tonight

Ruan Yiqian followed her gaze and explained, "This was bought by Mom for Xiaobei, thinking that when Xiaobei visits, he could use it to sleep. Unexpectedly, Xiaobei is already five and hasn’t returned yet."

According to normal customs, Shen Mianmian should have brought her child to visit her maternal home. However, because Shen Mianmian and Ruan Lingyu have always had a poor relationship, she never returned, and this small bed had been left unused. Now that Xiaobei has grown so big, the bed can no longer be used.

However, it seems that for Shen Mianmian’s second child, this small bed can still be of use.

Shen Mianmian evidently thought of this too and smiled, "It’s okay, it won’t go to waste."

The two of them talked for a while in the room, and then they heard the voices of Ruan Lingyu and Ruan Feng from downstairs. Ruan Yiqian said, "Mom and Dad are back, let’s go downstairs!"

Upon reaching downstairs, they saw Ruan Feng and Ruan Lingyu carrying big and small bags into the kitchen. Seeing them come down, Ruan Feng smiled and said, "Mianmian, we bought a lot of your favorite foods. We’ll make them for you tonight."

Since Shen Mianmian was getting married, Ruan Feng wanted the family to have a lively gathering together. As Ruan Lingyu wanted to cook herself, they gave the maid a red envelope and a few days off.

"Okay." Shen Mianmian smiled, glanced at Ruan Lingyu, and neither of them greeted each other. Fortunately, Ruan Lingyu did not show a cold face either.

Seeing everyone standing at the kitchen door, she simply said, "Go watch TV in the living room! I’ll tidy up these things and put them in the fridge."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Feng said, "Yiqian, you take Mianmian to go first; your mom and I will tidy up the things."

"Okay." Ruan Yiqian responded, and took Shen Mianmian to the living room. They sat on the couch where a little table in front of them was filled with fruits and snacks, evidently prepared for Shen Mianmian. Ruan Yiqian said with a smile, "It’s been many years since our home has had such a harmonious atmosphere. Look how considerate Dad is now; he never used to enter the kitchen before."

If only the relationship between Mianmian and Ruan Lingyu could improve, how joyous would it be for the family to gather together during festivals?

Speaking of which, Xiaobei has still never visited the house until now.

"Was Dad bad-tempered when he was young?" Shen Mianmian looked around the living room, chatting casually with Ruan Yiqian, "It’s a pity I don’t remember anything from my childhood."

Having lived twice, Shen Mianmian still had no recollection of things from the past; perhaps she was too young back then!

Ruan Yiqian smiled and said, "You were only two or three years old at that time; of course, you wouldn’t remember. Dad’s temper wasn’t bad when he was young. He was just a bit stubborn and had some traditional male ideas. Mainly because our family situation was good, we always had an auntie to help with the housework, so he didn’t need to do it."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Also, that Ms. Ruan, when she was young, believed that men shouldn’t enter the kitchen, that it was a woman’s job. Look now, as she gets older, she’s happier than anyone when Dad helps in the kitchen."

Ruan Lingyu was always competitive, never liked to appear weak; this character made the whole family tired out. Luckily, after the divorce, her temperament has softened somewhat. Hopefully, this is a good beginning.

Shen Mianmian looked towards the kitchen and said indifferently, "The times are developing and progressing, and people’s thoughts will change accordingly."

As for Ruan Lingyu, she didn’t want to delve into it much, as long as Ruan Lingyu didn’t stir up trouble, she didn’t mind maintaining superficial peace.

As for a harmonious mother-daughter relationship filled with love, that was impossible in this lifetime.
