Chapter 626: The Heart of Competing for Favor
When he came to the restaurant, Nian Nian was already sitting on the catering. She put her hands on her knees obediently, and when she saw Li Zhanqing and Guan Mingxin, she was about to subconsciously run over, but she suddenly stopped her movements and sat down on the chair obediently.
Li Zhanqing was already ready to greet her small body like a cannonball, but he didn't expect her to suddenly retract her movements. He was a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows to look at Guan Mingxin.
Guan Mingxin's eyes were also a little confused, and he shook his head.
She went to cook just now, and Niannian was always in her own bedroom, and Guan Mingxin didn't know what was going on. Before she cooked, Ming Niannian's mood was still the same as usual, and there was nothing abnormal.
The two made eye contact for a while, but didn't say much. came to the seat and sat down, and the family of three had dinner.
Guan Mingxin's cooking skills are naturally good, the four dishes and one soup are very simple home-cooked dishes, but the taste is comparable to that of a five-star chef.
Li Zhanqing had forbidden Guan Mingxin from entering the kitchen after she became pregnant, but because of their safety recently, they rarely left the house. Inevitably Guan Mingxin's boredom, when Guan Mingxin proposed to cook to pass the time, he did not refuse.
It's just that there are some dangerous tableware and more complicated cooking techniques, and he still forbids Guan Mingxin to do it.
After eating a meal, Li Zhanqing and Guan Mingxin found that Niannian's emotions were really wrong. Although it looks well-behaved and obedient, it looks abnormal if it is too well-behaved and obedient.
After all, Nian Nian may be such a quiet character in the eyes of outsiders. In front of them, Nian Nian has the liveliness and activity that this age should have.
Now Nian Nian sat upright, didn't make any noise when eating, and didn't even say a word during the whole process. The rule of "eating without saying a word" is not in their house, but when they are outside, Guan Mingxin and Li Zhanqing have requirements for Nian Nian in this regard.
Now Nian Nian applies the good upbringing in front of others to his parents, but it has some flattering meaning.
Please?
Li Zhanqing, who had these two words flashing in his mind, frowned.
After the meal, Guan Mingxin did not clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but asked the maid to come up and deal with the sundries. She took Niannian's hand and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Li Zhanqing did not go back to the study to deal with the work as planned, but followed him to the living room. The two sat beside Nian Nian, as harmonious as they always talked.
It's just that Niannian kept his head down, his hands were obediently placed on his knees, and his waist was straight.
"Niannian?" Guan Mingxin glanced at Li Zhanqing and took the lead in breaking the silence: "What did you play in the bedroom just now?" β
Nian Nian's hands suddenly tightened, tangled with each other, and tightly wound for a while. She seemed to hesitate for a moment before she slowly spoke, "Play with your phone." β
Hearing this answer, Li Zhanqing and Guan Mingxin were a little surprised. Nian Nian rarely plays with her mobile phone, and now she occasionally takes it out and listens to the song that Madame Pierre introduced to her before.
"Are you listening to a song?" Guan Mingxin asked again tentatively.
Nian Nian shook his head and bit his lower lip: "Yes, it's a chat." β
"Who are you talking to?" Guan Mingxin continued to ask, quite a posture of not giving up until the goal was reached.
Nian Nian seemed even more nervous, but she had never kept any secrets from Guan Mingxin and Li Zhanqing, and she was used to telling her parents everything. So at this moment, although she was a little apprehensive, she still obediently spoke: "Video chat with aunt." β
"Auntie" naturally refers to Madame de Pierre.
In addition to Madame Pierre, the main chat objects of Nian Nian are the old housekeeper at home and the old lady Li or He Wanyi who is recuperating abroad. But if you chat with a few people in the back, Nian Nian will inevitably pull Guan Mingxin up.
Hearing that Madame Pierre found Nian Nian again, Li Zhanqing and Guan Mingxin frowned lightly at the same time. These days, the frequency of chatting with Madame Pierre is too high.
In other words, Madame Pierre's haunting shots are too fierce.
"What did she tell you?" Guan Mingxin asked subconsciously.
She was still wary of Madame Pierre.
After coming to live here these days, the other party repeatedly invited them to go out or come here to find them, but Guan Mingxin found all kinds of excuses to refuse. It's just that things can't be too ugly in the end, so Guan Mingxin has always turned a blind eye to her private video chat.
She felt that although this still made her a little difficult to let go, but after all, through the screen of her mobile phone, the other party couldn't do anything to hurt Niannian. But now looking at Nian Nian's appearance, her thoughts still seem too naΓ―ve.
This time, Guan Mingxin's questioning, Nian Nian became even more flustered, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Guan Mingxin and Li Zhanqing felt that things were strange and planned to let someone investigate, Niannian suddenly raised his head suddenly, grabbed Guan Mingxin's hand with one hand, and grabbed Li Zhanqing's hand with the other, his eyes were flustered: "Dad, Mommy, Niannian is obedient, don't you want me, okay?" β
"What? Don't want you? Guan Mingxin couldn't react.
Li Zhanqing was also a little dumbfounded, and subconsciously hugged the person in his arms: "What stupid thing did Niannian say?" How could Daddy and Mommy not want you? β
"But, aunt, aunt said that if you have a brother, you won't love me......" At this, Niannian's tears crackled and fell. I used to be able to resist pretending to be sensible, but now I am completely broken.
She couldn't pretend anymore, and kept rubbing her eyes with her two hands to wipe her tears: "Nian Nian is good, Nian Nian doesn't cry, I'm a good child, Mom and Dad don't love me, I'll always be obedient, do you love me?" β
In order to hide the traces of her crying, she rubbed her eyes red.
Hearing these words, Li Zhanqing and Guan Mingxin felt that their hearts were about to break. Guan Mingxin hurriedly picked up a tissue to help Niannian wipe her tears, and her face was distressed: "Good Niannian, obedient Niannian, don't cry, how can Mom and Dad not love you?" You are our favorite little princess, and we will always love you no matter what! β
Li Zhanqing also hurriedly made a guarantee: "Yes, Niannian, believe in Mom and Dad, we will always love you, whether you are sensible or not, obedient or disobedient, this will not affect Mom and Dad's love for you." β
"Really?" Nian Nian seemed to be a little incredulous, staring at his parents with red eyes.
"Really!" Li Zhanqing and Guan Mingxin nodded heavily, and in order to increase their persuasiveness, the two also imprinted a kiss on Niannian's cheek at the same time.
