Chapter 1675: Chapter 1675: Great Face
At night, everyone in Jian Dan’s family was already asleep, but the living room was still brightly lit. The three youngsters, except Xiaoxin, were busy with their own things in the living room.
"Why aren’t you guys asleep yet?" Jian Dan asked when she got up in the middle of the night and saw the lights still on in the living room. She walked over and saw the three youngsters still busy.
"Of course, we’re preparing for tomorrow’s grand show," Jian Xiaokai said with a mischievous smirk, making Jian Dan almost feel like she was looking at an older man.
"Mom, why don’t you go to bed soon? Get some rest, so you can enjoy the show tomorrow!" Qian Lele said with a smile to Jian Dan.
"Wouldn’t it be quicker if I helped you guys? We could finish early and get to bed sooner," Jian Dan said and prepared to step forward.
"Don’t move!" Just as Jian Dan lifted her foot, still in mid-air, Kuaikuai spoke coldly.
"You didn’t rest well last night, so what help do you offer? Hurry up and go to sleep!" Even though Kuaikuai’s words were meant to be caring, he masked his concern with a cold tone.
"You’re talking about me, but aren’t you guys the same? Jian Xiaokai drove for such a long time, didn’t he?" Jian Dan retorted, unconvinced.
"It’s different!"
"How is it different?"
"We’re still young!" These words pierced Jian Dan’s heart.
Was she really that old?
"So, are you saying I’m old?"
"Compared to us, indeed!"
"But you guys are still kids, right? Kids need adequate sleep, or it’ll affect brain development."
"With our current brains, what more development do you expect?" Kuaikuai said again, his words directly knocking Jian Dan speechless.
Seeing Jian Dan standing there looking sad, Qian Lele put down what she was doing, walked over to Jian Dan, and hugged her legs. "Mom, don’t be sad! In Lele’s heart, Mom is always the youngest, the most beautiful, Lele’s favorite person!"
With Lele’s comfort, Jian Dan felt a lot better.
(Author: Kuaikuai, you care about your mom, so why not use a gentler tone?
Kuaikuai: Isn’t that your fault? It’s the character setting you gave me!

Under the strong insistence of the three youngsters, Jian Dan could only go back to her room to sleep.
At dawn, Jian Dan woke up, or rather, she had been half-asleep all along.
Jian Dan slowly got off the bed and went to the living room. As she entered, she saw the three youngsters sleeping soundly in different postures in their spots.
She tiptoed in, covered the three with blankets, and then left.
As the sky got brighter, everyone began to wake up one after another.
"Hurry and come to eat!" Jian Dan called them over for breakfast.
"Jian Dan, did you make all of this?" Liao Xinyue asked in surprise, looking at the table full of breakfast.
"This..." Jian Dan hadn’t even started to explain.
"How can it be? If Jian Dan could make a breakfast like this, then pigs climbing trees would become an ordinary thing," Xia Mengjiao teased while sitting down at the dining table to eat.
Jian Dan rolled her eyes at Xia Mengjiao and was about to say something.
"Pigs climbing trees should be easier, right?" Kuaikuai added, delivering another blow.
"Kuaikuai, aren’t you giving me any face?"
"Really? I thought this was giving you a lot of face," Kuaikuai said coldly while eating.
"Hmm?"
"Of course, because it shows that Mom honestly doesn’t need to cook at home. Nowadays, women who don’t need to cook at home really have a lot of face!" Qian Lele said, holding Jian Dan’s hand with a smile.
After thinking for a moment, Jian Dan realized this was somewhat true.
The mood that had turned a little sour earlier suddenly became sunny again.
