I looked at the dining room. It was very quiet. This was indeed abnormal. Normally, there would be the sound of parents talking, but there wasn't any. I turned to look at Suri. Suri helplessly shrugged at me. It was obvious that he couldn't do anything about this. I sighed and walked to the dining room.
As soon as I entered the dining room, I understood why Suri said that he couldn't do anything about it. Even I couldn't do anything about the situation, let alone him. I couldn't help but feel a headache coming. My family's dining table was very big, but today, it was full. My father sat in the middle, and my mother sat on his left. Next to my mother was Xinyao, and next to Xinyao was a little girl. She was talking and laughing with Xinyao. Looking at her age and appearance, she should be Suri's little sister. There was an empty chair next to her, which was probably reserved for Suri. Everything seemed normal, but the two people sitting on my father's right made me speechless. Duanmu Que and Han Hao actually appeared at our family's dining table. Duanmu Que sat next to my father on his right. There was a chair between Duanmu Que and Han Hao. Han Hao sat opposite Suri's little sister. However, the two of them had similar expressions. They looked at the table full of food with a serious expression. I guessed that the smell of gunpowder in the house was coming from them.
Su Rui walked past me and went to his seat. Then, he whispered a few words in Xinyao's ear. I saw Xinyao covering her mouth and looking at me with a smile. I looked at the two of them with disdain and walked over. "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I just woke up and came late. You must have been waiting for me."
My mother raised her head and looked at me. "Li Er, you're awake. How did you sleep? Sit down and eat something. Suri brought his little sister and Xinyao to our house to play. Xiao Que and Xiao Hao also came. They said that they wanted to have dinner together. Look, this is the roast duck that Xiao Que brought, and this is the bird's nest porridge that Xiao Hao brought. " My mother gave me a look. I understood what she meant. She wanted me to be careful with my words and not hurt anyone. My mother looked at me and smiled. "There's only one seat left. Why don't you sit there?"
I nodded and glanced at Duanmu Que and Han Hao. The two of them were also looking at me. Although I was extremely unwilling in my heart, I still decided to sit between the two of them. Otherwise, who knows what might happen. I walked to my seat and sat down. The two of them looked at me at the same time. I thought for a moment. I guessed that this meal wouldn't be good.
My father looked at everyone and said softly, "Come, let's eat."
My mother smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat. Eat more. If it's not enough, there's more in the kitchen. I asked the chef to make more. Baby, you have to eat more too. You're still growing." I looked at my mother. She was talking to Suri's little sister. Her tone was so affectionate that it made me a little jealous. I couldn't blame her. She had always liked children, and she had always wanted me to have one. Suri's little sister was very cute. Although she was small and thin, her eyes were big, just like a doll's. She was also very obedient. She was much more mature than other girls her age. Although it was my first time meeting her, I liked her very much.
I looked at her and asked Suri, "Suri, your little sister is much cuter than you. I still don't know her name."
Xin Yao looked at her little sister and said sweetly, "Baby, be good. Tell Sister Xiao Li your name." My face darkened again. Xin Yao looked like she was taking care of a child. It seemed that she would be a good parent in the future.
Suri's little sister raised her head and shyly looked at me. She said softly, "Hello, Sister Xiao Li. My name is Susu. I'm ten years old." Susu was much cuter than Suri. After introducing herself, she shyly hid behind Xin Yao.
I thought that Suri and Susu were still crammed together in their old house. I felt that it was inappropriate. I looked at my parents and said, "Dad, Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you. Suri is now my personal bodyguard. According to common sense, Suri should live in our house. He only has one little sister now. Can we let both Susu and Suri live in our house?"
Father said as he ate, "No problem. Later, I'll arrange for the nanny to clean up a room for Su Rui and another room for Susu. If there's anything the family needs to buy, you'll be in charge."
Before I could say anything, Suri said, "President, that's too troublesome. I'll just share a room with Susu."
My mother looked at him and said, "Suri, don't refuse at this time. It's rare for Li Er to ask her father for help. You have to accept this favor. Besides, it's not convenient for a man like you to stay with Susu. You can't take care of her well. Let her have a room by herself. That way, I can take care of Susu when I'm free. Also, if Xin Yao comes to find you, it'll be convenient." After saying that, my mother laughed. Hearing my mother's laughter, I suddenly understood. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Suri and Xin Yao's faces turned red. It seemed they understood my mother's meaning.
With great difficulty, the atmosphere at the table eased a bit. My mother and Xin Yao kept talking about Susu. They talked happily. My father and Suri accompanied them and laughed. The atmosphere on the other side of the table wasn't too good. On the other hand, it was as if the air had frozen. The three of us didn't say anything and just ate with our heads down. Of course, I think the two of them were also thinking about something, but they just didn't say it out loud.
Just as my thoughts were running wild, a pair of chopsticks picked up a piece of meat and placed it in my bowl. I looked up and saw Han Hao put the meat in my bowl. Then he looked at me and said with a smile, "Eat more. I didn't see you eat much. You're eating too little." After saying that, he put some more food in my bowl and then began to ladle soup for me.
I smiled at Han Hao and said, "Thank you. I can do it myself." Obviously, I didn't know what to say.
After I refused Han Hao, Duanmu Que reached out and put another piece of meat in my bowl. He also helped me ladle a bowl of porridge and put it in front of me. His expression was very serious. He looked at me and said, "Eat."
Han Hao looked at Duanmu Que and said, "Xiao Que, Xiao Li said she can do it herself. Let's not get her any more food. Look, her bowl is full."
