Chapter 105 - 105 105 You Two Move Out

?Chapter 105: Chapter 105: You Two Move Out Chapter 105: Chapter 105: You Two Move Out After leaving the Wen Family, Ye Chuyi had initially planned to return to her own little nest, but Tang Jin had called her, asking her to come home for dinner.

So she turned her car around and headed for the Sheng Family’s home.

When she entered through the door, the living room was already filled with the aroma of food.

Tang Jin had already been discharged from the hospital, and she was recovering quite well; she could now walk on her own without any problem.

Upon seeing Ye Chuyi return, she went up to her and took her hand, “Xiaoyi has come back just in time, the food is ready, come and try Auntie Wang’s cooking.”

As she passed by Sheng Tingyuan, Tang Jin also took him by the hand, then placed Ye Chuyi’s hand into his, while she herself headed into the dining room first.

Sheng Tingyuan looked down at the hand in his palm.

The injury on the back of her hand had healed, leaving behind only three faint scars.

But her hand was very cold, colder than any other time he had held it.

He spoke indifferently, “Take good care of your hand, keep it warm, frostbite can affect the surgery.”

Ye Chuyi withdrew her hand, “It’s already May, there’s no way I’ll get frostbite on my hands.” He seemed to be more concerned about her career than she was.

“Then why are your hands so cold? Did you put your hand in the fridge to chill?”

“I have a cold constitution; I’ve been this way since I was born.”

Ye Chuyi said flippantly and then entered the dining room to sit down next to Tang Jin.

Sheng Tingyuan also came in and sat down beside her.

The dinner table was already set with a lavish meal, and Ye Chuyi knew that even though Tang Jin hadn’t fully recovered, she couldn’t eat much. This entire spread of dishes was prepared for her and Sheng Tingyuan.

She was indeed starving, and after Tang Jin started eating, she bowed her head and began to eat.

Tang Jin liked to watch her eat, because she wasn’t picky at all; whatever she was served, she would eat up and do so with relish.

Not only did she serve dishes to Ye Chuyi herself, but she also signaled Sheng Tingyuan with her eyes to take care of her during the meal.

Sheng Tingyuan casually served her some dishes, and soon discovered that Ye Chuyi truly wasn’t picky. She could even eat the pieces of ginger he accidentally scooped into her bowl without a change in expression.

Moreover, both he and his mother serving her made her visibly happy, genuinely happy, not just feigned for the sake of pleasing others.

It was strange that there were people in this world who liked others to serve them food.

How could he remember that she didn’t use to be like this?

Three years ago, at his mother’s birthday banquet, she had been there. At that time, she had been quite choosy, refusing to eat this or that, and it was hard to find many dishes that she would actually enjoy.

Could it be that she had been pretending all along, acting picky so as to make him dislike her and avoid an arranged marriage?

Ye Chuyi was indeed enjoying her meal, and she really liked it when her elders served her food.

When she was a child, she could never eat her fill, always enduring hunger. Once, Lady Wen kept her to have a meal together, and perhaps because she ate too voraciously, Lady Wen, seeing her appetite, kept serving her food until she was full, and only then did she stop.

So, being served by Tang Jin made her think of Lady Wen, giving her a sense of warmth and happiness.

After dinner, Ye Chuyi joined Tang Jin for a walk in the garden to aid digestion.

As they walked, Tang Jin said, “Tingyuan, Xiaoyi, the two of you should move out.”

Ye Chuyi was startled, “What happened, Mom? Did I upset you? Is it because I ate too much at dinner?”

Tang Jin couldn’t help but laugh, finding her very adorable, “Having a good appetite is a blessing, it has nothing to do with how much you eat. It’s just that the two of you are disturbing my peace here. Tomorrow, you should go live in your new house. I see you really enjoy Auntie Wang’s cooking; I’ll ask her to go with you!”

Ye Chuyi was perplexed, as her mother-in-law didn’t seem unhappy at all; otherwise, she wouldn’t offer Auntie Wang to her.

She turned to look at Sheng Tingyuan beside her, and seeing that he had no reaction, she nudged him with her elbow.

Sheng Tingyuan, however, knew his mother’s thoughts. She felt like a third wheel and hoped that giving them their own space would help their relationship grow and they would hurry up and have a child.

When Ye Chuyi nudged him a second time, he held her elbow, “Just listen to Mom.”
