CHAPTER 1029: CHAPTER 1031: EATING HAPPINESS

Xu Nian’an was also taken aback when he saw the Su Family, and when he heard that the Su Family were Xu Nianhua’s real family, he was stunned for quite a while.

For dinner, the men sat at one table and the women at another, it was very lively.

Jiang Wanru was not eating with Xu Nianhua for the first time, but it was the first time she realized Xu Nianhua was her daughter—having a meal with her daughter for the first time.

Everyone naturally let Jiang Wanru sit next to Xu Nianhua, with Ji Ying sitting on the other side of her. Ji Ying frequently helped Xu Nianhua with the dishes, and Jiang Wanru initially held back but later noticed that Xu Nianhua didn’t mind. She also helped Xu Nianhua with the beef she liked.

"I remember you like beef."

Jiang Wanru looked at her with a careful smile, worried that Xu Nianhua might not appreciate it.

"Thank you."

Seeing the overflowing dishes in her bowl, Xu Nianhua felt Jiang Wanru’s cautious care and finally understood what Ji Ying had said to her in the kitchen that afternoon.

The Su Family and the Gu Family were indeed very different.

After dinner, everyone was eating and chatting cheerfully in the living room, where there were two pots of charcoal fire, warmly filling the room—not cold at all.

After this meal, Jiang Wanru felt full of happiness being able to help her daughter with the dishes, eating with her daughter, and now even enjoying the fruits Xu Nianhua had cut.

"The apple is really delicious."

Jiang Wanru ate a small piece of apple, feeling it had a fragrance that she hadn’t enjoyed before.

"Mom, didn’t you dislike apples?" Su Lie looked at Jiang Wanru and spoke quietly; he heard she even ate a full bowl of rice at dinner!

It should be known that Jiang Wanru’s health had never been great; she often ate only half a bowl of rice at night, sometimes even less, and she never liked apples.

But he was shocked to find out that when Xu Nianhua served it, Jiang Wanru didn’t refuse at all and ate with relish.

"Can’t I like apples now?"

Jiang Wanru munched through the apple and praised, "Delicious!"

Was she really eating the apple?

No, she was tasting happiness—the happiness her daughter served her, fragrant indeed!

Su Lie: "..."

Caught with no face to show.

"Thank you, Nianhua." Su Lie accepted the apple Xu Nianhua handed him, and with a choice of the largest one, he had to admit—an apple given by his sister was indeed fragrant!

"Nianhua, can I have another piece?" Jiang Wanru savored the taste and wanted more.

Xu Nianhua paused and said, "Shall I get you an orange? This orange is very sweet, not sour at all."

"Okay."

Jiang Wanru directly took the orange, smiling at Xu Nianhua, unwilling to look away as if the minute she did, her daughter would disappear. She said, "Nianhua, you can still call me Aunt Jiang like before—change it whenever you’re ready."

"Okay, can I peel it for you?"

Xu Nianhua silently glanced at Jiang Wanru’s well-maintained hands, and she took the initiative to peel the orange for her. Jiang Wanru was even happier, showing off to Su Jinrong by saying, "Look, my daughter peeled this for me!"

Su Jinrong pressed his lips together; although he didn’t say anything, the look he gave Xu Nianhua was very intense.

Xu Nianhua paused and asked, "Uncle Su, would you like some?"

Su Jinrong clearly wanted some, but with so many people watching, he couldn’t proudly show off the orange peeled by his daughter like Jiang Wanru. With a strict face, his eyes couldn’t hide his anticipation; Su Lie saw this for the first time and said, "Nianhua, my dad doesn’t eat oranges."
