Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Black Gift (8)

Su Yanyi was a person of strong principles, which of course she set for herself, just like now with the gift Qin Jiran gave her — it was hers, and she naturally wouldn’t re-gift it. Although she knew Qin Jiran might not mind, she couldn’t bring herself to do that. However, making a slight change was acceptable; she didn’t want to see her little nephew looking downcast.

Hearing what Su Yanyi said made Xiao Su Nuo very happy. Children don’t have such a strong sense of possession, and being able to raise the pet was good enough; whether it belonged to him or not didn’t really matter.

"Nuonuo is willing to play with it, Nuonuo likes it." Although he still didn’t know what the little animal was, Su Nuo was already looking forward to it.

"Then I’ll have someone bring it back tomorrow; Nuonuo will like it," Su Yanmo said, quite satisfied. He understood his sister’s personality very well; being willing to do this already showed how much she valued and loved little Su Nuo. But looking at Qin Jiran, Su Yanmo felt increasingly that this man was becoming more important in his little sister’s heart. She even treasured the gift he gave her so much that it made him, as her brother, feel a bit jealous. His sister should care about him the most, but now another man had taken his place.

Qin Jiran sensed Su Yanmo’s scrutinizing gaze, and although he didn’t know what was going on with his brother-in-law, he faced it calmly, letting the other man look at him until Su Yanmo slowly withdrew his gaze.

The odd atmosphere lasted only a few seconds, and except for the two men who had locked eyes, no one else was aware of it.

The group played until evening before leaving the amusement park. Jiang Xiaobin and Liu Liu went their separate ways, and the Su family, consisting of four people, also returned to the mansion. Grandfather Su, Father Su, and Mother Su had all gone home early, waiting for their return.

Xiao Su Nuo sat beside old Mr. Su, holding his dad’s phone with many photos on it. He flipped through them for great-grandfather to see, occasionally providing explanations in his soft and adorable voice.

Father Su and Mother Su also gathered around, occasionally commenting and praising their grandson’s intelligence and cuteness, which made Xiao Su Nuo’s face flush with happiness.

Meanwhile, siblings Su Yanmo and Su Yanyi began dealing with their respective workloads. Having played all day, there was inevitably work to catch up on. But Qin Jiran was particularly notable because after returning, he went to the study, intending to make some delicious dishes to add to the meal, which thus attracted many expectant looks.

Naturally, the Su family had a head chef, and it was somewhat late to start cooking for so many people now, so Qin Jiran only made two dishes and two desserts. One of the desserts was a chocolate pie for Xiao Su Nuo and the other was pine nut cookies for Yanyi. The dishes would be served with dinner, and desserts would follow later, according to the preferences of the two.

Sitting together as a family felt different; it seemed like everyone’s appetites improved considerably, especially with a child present that made the atmosphere even more delightful. This was very gratifying for the three elders of the Su family. In the past, describing the atmosphere at family dinners as ’pleasant’ would have been farfetched, since all their children were as cold as ice. It was unclear whom they had inherited that trait from. Additionally, even the addition of a son-in-law didn’t change much since he also wasn’t much of a talker, which truly left the elders speechless. It made them wonder if the saying "birds of a feather flock together" was really true.

But now, things were much better. Little Su Nuo was soft and well-behaved, incredibly cute, and just looking at him seemed to fill everyone with joy, noticeably lightening the mood at the table. In the past, it might have been warm, but now it was very joyful.

After Christmas, it wasn’t long before the end of the year, and Splendid Entertainment’s annual end-of-year banquet was also scheduled during this time. As the main planner of the banquet, Kang Zhong was very busy during this period, but fortunately, the banquet was about to start, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
