Chapter 269: Visiting the Xiao Family

Translator: Lonelytree

“Smells so good!” Rou Rou wrapped his arms around Jiang Yao’s neck as he watched Mo Li opened the steamer. Inside the steamer were several piglet-shaped red bean buns. They were white and chubby just like Rou Rou.

Jiang Yao was afraid that the hot vapor would harm the boy so she had the maid bring the child back to the living room. Mo Li then picked up 2 red bean buns from the steamer.

Rou Rou struggled loose from Jiang Yao. Then he circled around Mo Li as he took a deep sniff and exclaimed, “Smells good good!”

Rou Rou was still a kid so he couldn’t reach Mo Li’s arms. The smell of the buns caused his mouth to salivate. Mo Li didn’t give him a bun so Rou Rou ran back to the kitchen. He grabbed Jiang Yao and pleaded for a bun.

Mo Li sighed. Why was Rou Rou at the Mo Family house? There were 2 reasons. 1, Quan Yu, Ah Si and Ah Zhong were going on another mission; 2, Rou Rou had hit it off with Jiang Yao. Instead of leaving Rou Rou with the guys, Ah Zhong believed it was better to leave Rou Rou with the Mo Family. Rou Rou accepted this arrangement happily.

“Rou Rou, my dear, you have to patient. They are still very hot.”

Mo Li placed the tray on the table and poured a glass of milk for Rou Rou.

“Rou Rou wants to have the bun now, that uncle is already eating one!” Rou Rou pointed his finger at Mo Yun who was eating his breakfast. Mo Yun glanced at the kid. This kid sure is cunning. He’s nice to those who give him food but the others, they are all uncles and grandpas to him.

Seeing how excited Rou Rou was, Jiang Yao smiled brightly. Jiang Yao chuckled as she touched the boy on his nose. “You bad boy, didn’t you say you will wait for me before you tuck into the buns? Why are you getting jealous of Brother Yun now?”

“Hmm… Okay then, I will follow my promise, I will wait for pretty auntie.” Rou Rou grabbed the glass of milk and asked, “Uncle Yun, where are you going?”

Mo Yun turned to the child and poked his cheek. “Big brother is going off to work. I won’t be home so you will help me protect pretty sister and pretty auntie okay?”

Rou Rou nodded. Seeing how mature he was, Mo Yun smiled.

Jiang Yao handed a bun to Rou Rou and then turned to Mo Li, “Go and get Qing Qing… We’re going over to the Xiao Family’s place this afternoon.”

Mo Li was startled when she heard that. “Mom, are you sure this is a good idea? I don’t think they want to see us at this moment.”

“What are you talking about?! We are family friends. Auntie Xiao will be so hurt if she heard you say that. When you’re there, you should comfort your sister Xiao Yue.”

“We’re going to visit the angry Big Sister? Then I’ll have to leave 3 red bean buns for her… Hmm… I think 2 are enough, Rou Rou wants one more for himself.” Rou Rou placed the 2 buns aside, reserving them for Xiao Yue.

Mo Li was certain that Xiao Yue wouldn’t want to see them.

“Why would Yue Yue do such a thing?” Mrs. Xiao was crying so hard she was out of breath. Qiao Qing and Jiang Yao comforted her. “Everyone thinks that I’ve mistreated her because I’m her stepmother. That is not true!”

“You shouldn’t take what they say to heart. They don’t know anything, why should you care about what they think?” Jiang Yao knew how harsh the magazines were, however she believed that with time, this would pass.

“Auntie, don’t worry too much. Sister Yue Yue is a clever girl, I’m sure she knows what she’s doing.”

Mo Li stood inside the kitchen watching the boiling winter melon pork ribs soup listening to the conversation from the living room.

The moment Xiao Rui entered the kitchen, he saw Mo Li roll up her sleeves to cut the ingredients into even thin strips. Her movements were methodical and meticulous. He found it all very charming.

Xiao Rui was previously sitting in the living room, listening to the women. But he was attracted by the aroma of Mo Li’s cooking. He crossed his arms and watched her. Mo Li stood straight and the light green apron she wore accentuated her figure. Xiao Rui felt his throat go dry.

“Mom, has the new chef arrived? What smells so delicious?” Xiao Yue’s voice came from the 2nd floor. She was in a pink nightgown.. She looked much thinner and her face was pale.
