At mealtime, Shen Zihao came downstairs with Shen Liangchuan, looking moody.
Qiao Lian looked at Shen Liangchuan and saw him raise an eyebrow.
Obviously, he had managed to sort things out.
As they around the table, Qiao Lian leaned over to Shen Liangchuan and whispered, “How did you manage to talk him around?”
He turned towards her and spoke into her ear.
Immediately, Qiao Lian paid close attention, all ready to hear the juicy story, when his voice whispered back, “It’s a secret.”
Qiao Lian was flabbergasted.
A secret. Then why did you look like you were about to say it?!
She drew the corners of her mouth back and heard Xia Yehua say, “Let’s eat.”
Hence, everyone started to eat their food.
While they ate, Li Tianyu picked up a piece of ribs and dropped it into Shen Liangchuan’s bowl, saying, “Big Brother, here, eat this.”
Shen Zihao’s head immediately snapped up in the middle of eating and glanced at the dining table. He looked at Shen Liangchuan’s bowl again, as a gloomy expression flashed across his face.
At this point, a pair of chopsticks appeared before his eyes.
He looked up and saw that Shen Liangchuan had picked up a chicken drumstick. “Here, you take this.”
When he was a kid, he had loved eating drumsticks.
Every time they had chicken at home, both drumsticks would be his.
Because even if their mom gave the two brothers a drumstick each, his big brother would give up his own drumstick for him.
Like an angelic child, Shen Zihao’s expression lightened up at once.
Happily satisfied, he lowered his head, but as soon as he did so he heard Tianyu say, “Big Brother, I want one too! Isn’t there another drumstick? Big brother, give me one.”
Shen Zihao: …!!
Shen Liangchuan: …!!
Qiao Lian tried to control her laughter as Shen Zihao was fuming in jealousy. This was simply… too hilarious!
Shen Liangchuan’s chopsticks froze in mid motion and noticed that Shen Zihao was staring at him wide-eyed.
That look on his face… Was this the same untamed man from before?
He was completely like a little puppy that was terrified to lose favor of his owner.
Qiao Lian was on the verge of bursting out in laughter.
But fortunately, Uncle Li resolved the situation in time when he spoke up, “Is eating all you know?! Can’t you see that your sister-in-law is pregnant! This drumstick is for her.”
Qiao Lian: …
Hence finally, the other drumstick found its way into her bowl.
Actually, her least favorite part of the chicken was the drumstick, because it was not flavorful.
But it seemed like she had no choice but to eat it.
After the meal, Shen Zihao noticed that Li Tianyu was about to head upstairs to hang out in Shen Liangchuan’s study. He immediately said, “Aren’t you going home now that you’ve eaten? Aren’t you busy with work?”
“Not busy!” Li Tianyu did not understand Shen Zihao’s expression and had no idea what was causing that animosity. “Besides, what could be more important than having a meal with you guys?!”
“You sucker.”
“Hey, what was that?” Li Tianyu bristled.
Shen Zihao smiled icily and repeated, “I called you a sucker!”
“What are you saying? I dare you to say it one more time!”
“Sucker!”
“You-” Li Tianyu took a step forward, but he immediately backed off again and said, “Fine, fine, fine. I’m a sucker, happy now? As long as you agree to our parents’ marriage, you can call me whatever you like!”
Shen Zihao was furious. He had just snatched his big brother away, and now he was trying to snatch his mom.
This Li Tianyu was indeed his nemesis.
Arghhhh! He would never agree to this marriage!
