This fellow may seem aloof and arrogant on the surface, and he could easily offend people with his mean words, but in actuality, deep within he was a warm and passionate person .
Yan Rusheng must have felt extremely anxious and worried .
Xuxu silently berated him before she turned to Jiang Qinglian . "I don't think there are any news yet, if the police already found him, they would have informed us right away . "
"Wang Bin is an old employee and the old madam groomed him for many years . " Jiang Qinglian began to get agitated . She then continued, "How could someone of his age do something foolish together with Runan . He has lived in vain!"
Xuxu quietly listened to her rants .
At that moment, all First Aunt wanted was to make sure Second Brother would stir clear from all charges . If given the chance, she would have offered to take the rap in his behalf .
Xuxu ushered Jiang Qinglian to a chair and sat beside her .
Yan Rusheng passed her the toast he had just buttered . "Hurry up and eat . The porridge is getting cold . "
Xuxu passed the toast to Jiang Qinglian instead . "First Aunt, you eat this . "
Of course, Yan Rusheng didn't say anything .
He began buttering another toast for her .
Jiang Qinglian stared at the toast in her hands and heaved a heavy sigh . She took a bite and drank some milk .
Feeling relieved, Xuxu placed a fried egg on a slice of bread and passed it to her .
"You should eat more instead . " Jiang Qinglian gave her a half-hearted smile . "Xuxu, if you have time, you should come to C City . Your second sister-in-law is pregnant as well, and she has been complaining that she is too bored at home . "
At the mention of his son and daughter-in-law, a bright smile appeared on her face . "She has a huge appetite these days, and her cravings have increased . Recently, she was craving for mutton soup so she woke Runan up in the middle of the night . She even insisted that he had to buy from a particular stall . "
"Second Brother really dotes on Second Sister-in-law," Xuxu casually exclaimed .
Yan Rusheng, who sat across Xuxu, deciphered it differently .
He thought, "Didn't I dote on you as well?" More thoughts passed through his mind . "I also hope that you would cling to me, and you would wake me up in the middle of the night, too . "
Jiang Qinglian smiled . "You can go back together with me . Your First Sister-in-law said that she misses you . "
"I need to work," Xuxu replied, "Maybe next time . "
Jiang Qinglian was startled . "You went back to Flourish & Prosper?"
Xuxu hummed as she hesitated . She then laughed . "No, I'm working elsewhere for a short period . I just want to pass the time . "
She was worried that First Aunt might be upset and unhappy if she knew that she was working at Su Yan's company .
'Sigh . ' Su Yan and Su Yue were like thorns to her .
"You're already expecting, so why did you work?" Jiang Qinglian looked at Yan Rusheng with reproach . "Third Yan, how could you allow her to work? Xuxu is an expecting mother, so you should dote on her more . How could you allow her to work outside?"
"You're right . " Yan Rusheng accepted her scoldings . He then turned to look at Xuxu sternly . "Wen Xuxu, from today onwards, you're not allowed to work . "
Xuxu furiously glared at him .
Regarding other matters, he could turn a deaf ear or simply refuse to speak . But now he had become so well-behaved and obedient .
She shall ignore him!
Jiang Qinglian fell silent once more when worries engulfed her once more . She didn't finish her breakfast .
When she sent Xuxu and Yan Rusheng out of the house, she looked at Yan Rusheng as if she had something to say . Xuxu noticed her every expression .
