Chapter 345: Chapter 345: The Matter of the Child (3)

Wang Zhilin’s plan wasn’t all that complicated, it was simply to claim that she was a mental illness sufferer. Her lawyer had been preparing evidence for this all along, and this was why, despite the tortures she endured, she never lost hope—because she believed there would always be a day when she would get out.

The more abject one’s life, the more one yearns for brightness. The more Wang Zhilin suffered, the more she clung to this glimmer of hope. Thus, she cooperated with every suggestion from her lawyer, just waiting for the lawyer to rescue her!

As for Madam Wang, all alone outside the household, she was clearly having a much easier time. She returned to her maiden home where, although not particularly welcomed, she could at least be fed and clothed, and wasn’t homeless. This made her quite content.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Mother Su started making dumplings, and Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi were each dragged into the kitchen by Mother Su. Su Yanmo, on the other hand, was led into the kitchen by the hand of Xiao Su Nuo, leaving Grandfather Su and Father Su as the only two men left to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

"Grandma, does Nuonuo’s dumpling look right?" Xiao Su Nuo was earnestly learning how to make dumplings, and his dumplings actually took shape, albeit a little small.

"Nuonuo is so smart to have learned so quickly, much better than your dad." As Mother Su praised her grandson, she didn’t miss the chance to jab at her son, who couldn’t even make his dumplings look as nice as Xiao Su Nuo’s.

Even though Su Yanyi had entered the kitchen, she merely sat to one side with a cup of tea in hand, amusedly watching and not intending to lift a finger. On the other hand, Qin Jiran was wrapping with great efficiency, becoming the main force in the dumpling-making team.

In reality, Su Yanmo also had no desire to participate, but since his son wanted to watch him make dumplings, he had no choice but to keep his son company—after all, he couldn’t bear to see his son looking at Qin Jiran with eyes filled with admiration!

So Su Yanmo started learning how to make dumplings with a grim face. Unfortunately, he really had no talent for it and no matter how he tried, he couldn’t make them well. He nearly pinched the dumpling into a flattened pie, causing Xiao Su Nuo to snicker at the side, thinking his dad was so clumsy.

After being laughed at by his son, Su Yanmo really wanted to say to Qin Jiran, who was very skilled beside him, "As a man, do you really need to be so capable? At least leave some work for the women. Can’t you see your woman is so idle she’s drinking tea on the side?"

The Su family had many varieties of dumplings to make: Copper Coin, preserved fruit, peanuts—but these challenging ones were all made by Qin Jiran and Mother Su. Su Yanmo struggled for a long time and still only managed to make a few lopsided dumplings. The distinctive feature of Su Nuo’s dumplings was their small size. After everyone finished wrapping, they placed their dumplings together and then looked at each other’s creations, their expressions turning rather odd.

"So ugly." Su Yanyi unapologetically commented on Su Yanmo’s dumplings.

"If you’re so capable, you do it." Su Yanmo felt his sister was getting less and less cute by the day!

"My husband wrapped them, which means I wrapped them," Su Yanyi said, her tone very calm. But everyone present could feel the joyous aura emanating from her; she seemed quite happy.

The word "husband," as used by Su Yanyi, made Qin Jiran bloom with happiness, and he felt a surge of excitement. Looking at Su Yanyi, his gaze became very eager.

Yanyi called him husband, such an intimate term, and his heartbeat sped up just hearing it.

"Then my son wrapping them means I wrapped them too!" Alright, he might not have a wife, but he had a son, and his son’s dumplings were very pretty. He, as a father, was also very proud!
