I really don't want to show off my love

Chapter 258 When parents start to support each other? [Request for re-order]

In the evening, four people sat around the table and ate dinner together. The steam coming out of the pot made the whole house a lot warmer.

Although we had already eaten hotpot in Shanghai last night, today is New Year's Day after all. During festivals, it would feel a little less lively without hotpot.

Moreover, for the Chinese people, eating hot pot is a must during the New Year, and they should eat it from the beginning of the year to the end of the New Year. In some places, it has even become a custom that every family does so.

"Yaoyao, try the sweet and sour pork ribs made by your aunt." Mu Yaoqing was in a good mood at the moment. She happily picked up a piece of pork ribs for Gu Yao and also picked up a piece for An Ran.

Seeing this scene, An Ran was suddenly flattered. He could actually have a share?
Hmm...it can be seen that just now in the kitchen, Sister Yaoyao must have made Ms. Mu very happy.

"Hmm! So delicious!" Gu Yao tasted the ribs and said with surprise.

She wasn't really complimenting Mu Yaoqing, but she really thought it was delicious, much better than what An Ran cooked!

Seeing this, An Ran picked up a piece of beef fillet with green pepper and handed it to Mu Yaoqing with chopsticks: "Try what Yaoyao made. This is also her specialty."

"Got it." Mu Yaoqing rolled her eyes at her silly son with some reproach, but still picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then her eyes lit up.

"Yaoyao, your cooking skills are really good?" Mu Yaoqing said with praise on her face.

"No way, I think the food you cook is delicious!" Gu Yao said modestly, giving An Ran a subtle roll of the eyes.

What a guy~ He just keeps making trouble for her... Fortunately, Aunt Mu didn't mean to make things difficult for her, otherwise, with An Ran's words just now, she would be in trouble!

An Ran secretly laughed, but on the surface he pretended to be fine. Well, mainly because he was afraid that some woman would take revenge on him later.

"Uncle, please try it too. I wonder if it suits your taste." Gu Yao picked up some dishes for President An Da next to her with an obedient look on her face.

Seeing this, President An Da's mood immediately improved a lot. Not bad, not bad, this child is quite sensible. Then he rolled his eyes at An Ran imperceptibly.

I wish this kid could be half as sensible as Yaoyao.

Perhaps it was the tacit understanding between father and son. An Ran just happened to notice the other party's gaze and his expression became a little helpless, but he still picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for the other party.

Forget it, after all, in this family, he and the domineering president have the lowest status, so they still have to keep each other warm.

An Tianhong nodded with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad. This silly son is still of some use.

Mu Yaoqing, who was standing by, looked at An Tianhong and complained with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you pretending to be serious? You have a stern face. When I serve you food, tell me how it tastes."

Hearing this, the domineering CEO's aura suddenly withdrew, and he said weakly: "I'm just tasting it..."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and tasted a bite of the dish, then pretended to savor it and nodded: "Well, it's really good. Yaoyao's cooking skills are good. Anran will be blessed in the future."

"Hehe..." An Ran laughed dryly and pretended that she hadn't heard anything.

When Gu Yao, who was standing aside, heard An Tianhong's words, her face turned red, like a little apple, very cute.

"By the way, Yaoyao, will you go back to the old house with us tomorrow?" An Tianhong suddenly asked, thinking of something.

"Well... I will listen to you, junior." Gu Yao paused and looked at An Ran again, looking like a well-behaved young wife.

"Then let's go back together." An Ran shrugged and said casually, then asked with some vigilance, "Wait, is that girl back?"

Hearing this, Mu Yaoqing gave this guy a slap on the head in displeasure, rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you talking about this girl and that girl? She is your sister after all."

"Hehe..." An Ran smiled innocently and scratched her head. She didn't say anything else, but secretly curled her lips: "You are really my good sister..."

If I remember correctly, my mother knew about the relationship between me and Sister Yaoyao, and it seemed that it was his good sister who tipped off?

Mu Yaoqing ignored An Ran's muttering, looked at Gu Yao again, and asked inquiringly: "Yaoyao, tomorrow you will go to the old house with us to meet An Ran's grandparents, okay?"

When Gu Yao heard this, her expression was stunned for a moment.

In fact, Mu Yaoqing had already asked her this question once in the elevator this morning... At that time, her answer was to listen to An Ran.

And now Mu Yaoqing asked again... Sister Yaoyao's brain was quite flexible. After a brief hesitation, she almost understood the meaning of Mu Yaoqing's words.

It was obvious that the other party wanted to hear her own opinion.

"...Yes, okay, Auntie!" After realizing this, Gu Yao's expression suddenly became a little excited and she nodded quickly.

This is equivalent to recognition from my mother-in-law!
"Okay, then we'll go together tomorrow." Mu Yaoqing also nodded with a smile, and there was a hint of satisfaction in her eyes when she looked at Gu Yao.

An Ran, who was standing aside, looked at the two people in front of her who were behaving a little strangely, and there was a hint of strangeness in her eyes.

What’s going on? Why does he feel like he doesn’t understand the conversation between these two people?
Since this is a public screen chat, can we please not use secret codes?

Mu Yaoqing noticed the bewildered look from An Ran, and rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "What are you standing there looking at? Come and eat."

Really, when will this kid be as smart as Yaoyao?

An Ran: “…” So, he was disliked again, right?

"Pfft~"

Gu Yao, who was standing by, saw this scene and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Then, she noticed the looks from Mu Yaoqing and An Tianhong, and quickly covered her mouth.

A pair of big eyes were still blinking there, looking so innocent.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry..." Gu Yao said weakly.

"Haha, it's okay." Mu Yaoqing smiled and waved her hands, and glared at An Ran, "After we return to the Magic City, you should learn more from Yaoyao and see how smart and mature she is."

An Ran: “???” Smart and mature?

If you don’t understand, just ask: Do you have any misunderstandings about this woman?
Also, what do you want him to learn from this woman? How to stay in bed late?
An Ran complained in her heart, but on the surface she still had an expression that said 'you are right'.

After all, even the overbearing president has to bow his head in front of the big witch at home, let alone him, a little comrade?

"Auntie, don't say that..." Gu Yao was a little embarrassed and guilty after being praised by Mu Yaoqing, and said in a very low voice. Seeing Sister Yaoyao's look, An Ran suddenly changed her attitude and said seriously: "Don't, I think my mother is right, I really need to learn more from you."

"..."

Gu Yao's expression suddenly froze, and then she gave An Ran a reproachful look, her little mouth slightly pouted, looking very angry.

It's obvious that this guy is teasing him on purpose!

This junior is really despicable!
"Hahahaha, okay, let's eat first. The pot is boiled. We'll talk later." An Tianhong on the side saw this scene and couldn't help laughing. He asked everyone to eat.

He felt as if he had experienced what Mu Yaoqing had felt before?
The domineering president said that he also supports the CP between his son and daughter-in-law!
Next, the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became different from before.

An Tianhong and Mu Yaoqing stopped talking and just quietly observed An Ran and Gu Yao from the side.

As if she had noticed the gazes of the two elders, Gu Yao was a little embarrassed to speak and just focused on eating. On the contrary, An Ran was like a shameless person. From time to time, she would pick up food for Sister Yaoyao, cook meat for her, and even taste the seasonings she picked.

This made the old father and mother standing by feel very happy and they sighed in their hearts that the silly boy has finally grown up.

After finishing the reunion dinner that was full of the smell of dog food, Gu Yao quickly found an opportunity and followed Mu Yaoqing to the kitchen diligently to clean up all the pots and pans.

If she stayed any longer, she felt so embarrassed that she almost died!
Seeing this scene, Mu Yaoqing and An Tianhong tacitly did not speak, but just looked at each other, and then they saw the smile in each other's eyes.

……

It was time to watch TV after dinner. An Ran and Gu Yao sat on the sofa and watched the New Year’s Eve Gala with their parents.

Although this kind of party is not very interesting now, it is a habit that has continued for so many years after all.

Even if you don’t watch TV and just chat, that’s good too. After all, you can take this opportunity to spend time with the elders at home.

"Yaoyao, why don't you sleep in Ranran's room tonight?" Mu Yaoqing suddenly turned around and said to Gu Yao.

Hearing this, An Ran and Gu Yao on the side were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and their expressions were slightly confused.

In fact, there were some things that An Ran and Gu Yao did in Shanghai that they had not told their families about, such as the fact that they were already living together.

Sister Yaoyao was embarrassed to say it. After all, this was the first time she met An Ran's parents, and An Ran hadn't met her parents yet...

If they live together now, wouldn't it seem like she is too free?
As for An Ran, that was not his reason. After all, Sister Yaoyao might be shy about this kind of thing, but he was a grown man and had a very thick skin, like a city wall.

Not to mention being embarrassed, he was even happy to let his mother know about it, and even thought he could show off in front of her.

Well...actually, he was mainly worried that his mother would do something earth-shattering after knowing about this.

An Ran knew his mother too well. With Comrade Mu Yaoqing's temper, if she knew that he and Gu Yao were living together, she would probably go straight to Su City to look for her in-laws.

Therefore, before An Ran and Gu Yao came back, they agreed on a common statement in Shanghai: the apartments they lived in just happened to be door-to-door, so they were neighbors in Shanghai.

"...Could it be that I've been discovered?" An Ran muttered to herself, but the next second, she denied this possibility.

Although his mother was indeed not so easy to fool, after all, what he said to Mu Yaoqing was not made up.

Sister Yaoyao originally lived next door, but she just moved in later. Besides him and Gu Yao, no one else should know about this.

"Auntie, this is not so good..." Gu Yao couldn't help but lower her head slightly, her face flushed, and she spoke in a very low voice.

Although this is the norm in Shanghai, we are back in Pengcheng after all, and at Anran's home. Of course, it is different from when we were there!
When Gu Yao thought about sleeping in the same room with An Ran in front of his parents, she felt her heart beating frighteningly fast.

It's so embarrassing!

Mu Yaoqing saw the reactions of the two people and raised her eyebrows in surprise. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and her expression suddenly became funny.

"What are you thinking about? What I mean is, Yaoyao, you sleep in Anran's room, and Anran can sleep in the guest room." Mu Yaoqing explained with a smile.

"Is that so..." Gu Yao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, and felt that she wouldn't die from her accelerated heartbeat.

"Huh?" An Ran on the side was stunned for a moment, and then her face was full of question marks.

Wait, he's having trouble thinking straight now, let him sort it out...

Mu Yaoqing meant to let Gu Yao sleep in his room and then he would sleep in the guest room?
An Ran's expression suddenly became a little strange.

He didn't care who slept in the guest room, but the question was whose home this was?
Mu Yaoqing looked at An Ran's reaction, frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "What are you doing here? Is there anything wrong with me asking you to give up your room?"

An Ran: “…” I didn’t know if there were any problems, and I didn’t dare to ask more.

"Auntie, how about I sleep in the guest room..." Gu Yao said hesitantly.

No matter what, she accompanied An Ran home as her girlfriend, but she ended up sleeping in An Ran's room and letting An Ran sleep in the guest room... I always felt that this was not a good idea.

"Okay, listen to Auntie. The main guest rooms don't have private bathrooms. Auntie is afraid that you, a girl, and this is your first time in Pengcheng, so you might not be used to it."

Mu Yaoqing also knew that what she said just now might be misunderstood, so she started to explain, "An Ran is a boy, so it doesn't matter if he has a private bathroom or not. As for the bathroom, this is his home, so it doesn't matter if he uses the shared one outside."

"Is that so..." Gu Yao was stunned for a moment, thinking back to the thought that just flashed through her head. Her expression became a little embarrassed, and her little face flushed, looking very cute.

An Ran standing by also looked as if something had suddenly dawned on him. Apparently, he had not expected that his mother would be so thoughtful.

"Then you can sleep in my room. My luggage is all in my room." An Ran said casually.

He actually didn't care much about where he slept, but he felt a little disappointed that he couldn't sleep with Sister Yaoyao.

To be honest, he was a little excited when Mu Yaoqing made the proposal just now. But in the end, it seemed that he was overthinking?

Comrade An Ran felt a little disappointed and couldn't help but mutter something in his heart.

Mom, why are you so unhelpful at this time?
