437 Chapter 437. An Extra Meal With Love
Mo Ye stood behind Zhuang Bai and gave his grandmother a look, signaling her to look over.
Old Madam Mo didn’t want to pay attention to her granddaughter’s antics, but how she looked at Zhuang Bai was exceptionally kind.
She opened her mouth and said with a smile, “What’s wrong with that? You’ve not been in the country for a long time. You’re unfamiliar with people like us who don’t often move around in City H. This is very normal. Why would I blame you? Let’s not talk about this. How has your mother been? The last time I saw her was at a banquet in the new year! I haven’t been in good health this year and have been recuperating in the old residence. I’ve rarely been out in City H.”
Zhuang Bai listened patiently and respectfully to old Madam Mo’s words while following Mo Qian’s instructions and sat on Zhuang Xian’s right, with Mo Ye sitting opposite her.
He gently smiled at old Lady Mo and said, “Old Madam, you’re so generous! I appreciate your concern, old Madam. My mother has been doing well recently.”
Mo Su nodded. “That’s good. You left in a hurry, so I didn’t have time to talk to you. Did you come to the base to bring Zhuang Xian some good food?”
She looked at the food box beside Zhuang Xian as she spoke and smiled gently. “You’re a good child, so attentive! It’s Zhuang Xian’s good fortune to have such a good brother like you.”
Zhuang Xian was a little unsure of old Madam Mo’s attitude. She also could not understand why Mo Qian had brought his old Lady and cousin with him for this acupuncture session. He couldn’t possibly be worried that she would poison him, right?
Zhuang Xian’s mind was in a mess as she subconsciously shook her head, trying to clear her mind. She had been through too much this afternoon.
After seeing her big brother, she was even happier and more excited. In a short time, her emotions fluctuated too quickly, and it was pretty tiring.
Listening to Zhuang Bai and old Madam Mo’s small talk, Zhuang Xian was also happy to have peace. She did not have to deal with these wise elders who were like foxes.
She looked at her eldest brother, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up.
It seemed to be the same in her previous life. No matter the occasion, as long as her big brother and parents were around, she could always be an obedient baby who only had to lower her head to eat. She didn’t have to worry about these things at all.
Thinking about the past, Zhuang Xian almost fell into a trance.
Today was the first time she had met her brother in this life, but they were so close that it was as if they had never been apart.
However, Zhuang Xian’s dazed state lasted only a very short moment. Mo Qian, silently observing her from the side, had already looked at her with dissatisfaction for a long time!
Mo Qian inched closer to Zhuang Xian and said softly, “Your big brother won’t be able to escape! Can you eat your dinner first? It’s almost eight o’clock at night; aren’t you hungry?”
Zhuang Xian returned to her senses and subconsciously turned to look at Mo Qian. She seemed to be in a good mood.
She nodded at Mo Qian and replied softly, “A little.”
“Then why do you keep staring at your big brother? Will you be full just by looking at him?” Mo Qian’s voice was very low and magnetic. He deliberately lowered his voice so that only the two could hear.
Upon hearing Mo Qian’s undisguised sourish words, Zhuang Xian smiled and looked at him without saying a word. Her eyes were filled with amusement, but she was also slightly speechless.
Sighing lightly, she lifted her hand to open the food container beside her. This action of hers immediately attracted the attention of Li Qin, who was sitting beside Mo Qian.
He tilted his head and looked over, asking curiously, “What is this, sister Xian? Can I take a look?”
Li Qin’s cat-petting appearance did not escape the eyes of the table of intelligent people.
Zhuang Bai turned around to look at him and said warmly, “It’s sweet and sour pork ribs.”
“Did Mommy make this?” Zhuang Xian replied.
“I brought a little too little today,” Zhuang Bai nodded and explained, “You two can eat a little each to satisfy your cravings! I’m sure you’ll be able to eat to your heart’s content when you go home.”
Li Qin chuckled when he heard this and replied happily, “That’s great. With my friendship with sister Xian, I won’t be polite to you! Thank you, big brother, Zhuang Bai!”
As he spoke, he carried the plate and walked toward Zhuang Xian. He happily took some of the food. It was an extra meal from Zhuang Xian’s mother!
