Chapter 688: Chapter 686: Of course, Brother likes it (Second update)

Da Bao spoke, laughing as he reached out to grab her free hand and pressed it against his stomach.

Nuonuo blushed, quickly retracting her hand from Da Bao’s grasp, holding her bowl with both hands, pretending to seriously drink her soup with her head down.

Seeing Nuonuo’s flushed face, Da Bao’s mood inexplicably brightened, a rare mischievous smile appearing at the corners of his lips.

"Aren’t you going to ask me how it tastes?"

The term ’rare’ doesn’t mean Da Bao is always stern and serious.

It’s just that Da Bao has always been gentle and considerate towards Nuonuo; he rarely plays tricks or pranks on her.

Nuonuo acted as if she hadn’t heard his question, persistently keeping her head down and gulping her soup.

Da Bao thought she didn’t care about his opinion at all, but unexpectedly, after she finished her soup, she lifted her head and murmured awkwardly, "I know, what I made tastes awful."

Da Bao shook his head with a smile, "Who said it tastes bad? I think it’s delicious."

Nuonuo’s eyes widened, "Really? But I think it tastes awful!" It seems she still has a sense of self-awareness.

Da Bao pinched her still blushing cheek, "That’s because you don’t know how to appreciate it. I think it’s very tasty."

"Yes, I don’t know how to appreciate it, just like Sister. Only you, Brother, know how to appreciate it!"

Little Treasure, sitting on Nuonuo’s left, added casually but cleverly.

Le Tong, sitting across from the three siblings, struggled to keep from laughing.

As a father, Ji Rui is the most normal and at ease among the five of them. While the others were bickering, he had already finished his soup and started on his rice. He hadn’t eaten his wife’s cooking for days, so while the few food lovers hadn’t started, he was quick to get his fill, which was the main thing.

"Shall I continue to cook for you?"

Nuonuo’s eyes hid a trace of hope. She didn’t quite believe Da Bao, but naturally, she preferred to believe everything Da Bao said was true.

Da Bao met her gaze and nodded happily.

"Of course, Brother loves to eat it!"

Nuonuo’s smiling eyes turned into two crescents, sparkling brightly, almost blinding Da Bao.

"Alright, then I’ll continue to cook for you, and I’ll learn from Mommy."

"Looks like I can retire in the future and no longer need to make curry fish balls for someone!" Le Tong, not one to miss out on the fun, commented with a smile and picked up her bowl to eat.

Le Tong’s wishful thinking was immediately met with strong opposition from the little foodie, Ji Xiaobao.

"Who said that? Mommy, you still have to make them for me. I love your curry fish balls; if Brother doesn’t eat them, you can make them just for me!"

President Ji, who had finished his first bowl of rice and was serving a second, first glared at Little Treasure, then turned to Le Tong and protested.

"Yes, if Da Bao doesn’t eat them, why should Little Treasure and I miss out!"

Da Bao helplessly glanced at his parents and Little Treasure, secretly wondering if he was really their biological child?!

Nuonuo, even more bewildered by her family’s unintentional teasing, could only lower her head and quietly eat her rice.

How could Da Bao bear to see his precious sister embarrassed? He quickly picked up a prawn, skillfully peeled it and deveined it, then directly held it up to Nuonuo’s lips.

Nuonuo, somewhat taken aback, tilted her head and looked at him in confusion.

"Open your mouth..." Da Bao said softly, his fingers lightly touching her lips, making his heart flutter slightly. Fortunately, he was adept at hiding his emotions, and even though he felt a tumult inside, his face showed no sign of it.

Nuonuo’s body reacted faster than her mind; she opened her mouth and took the prawn, only then remembering she had recently told Brother Da Bao that she had grown up and no longer needed him to take care of her like a child with full attention. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

With her self-contradiction and face-smacking behavior, Nuonuo’s face involuntarily started to heat up again.

"Thank you, Brother!"

"Why thank me? This is a return gift for that plate of fish balls."

Da Bao, of course, remembered her declaration of independence, and his reply was impeccable and flawless.

Le Tong secretly gave a thumbs up, clearly thinking her eldest son was much smarter than his father. Such high emotional intelligence!

But in this world, there’s always a handful of people who thrive on chaos.

"Brother, Sister made fish balls for you once, and you said you’d repay her for it. But what about Mommy? Mommy has been cooking for you for over ten years, serving you all this time. So, what will you give her in return?"

Little Treasure, missing his brother after just a few days, seemed to channel his longing into irritation and kept picking on him.

Da Bao chuckled at Little Treasure: Trying to mess with me? Kid, you’re still too inexperienced.

"For all the things Mommy has done for us, my return gift to Mommy is a lifetime of love and respect!"

Da Bao responded smoothly, leaving Little Treasure speechless.

Le Tong watched the brothers bicker then looked at her seemingly still shy daughter, thinking that fate had been kind to her, giving her such lovely and funny kids!

The hour-long dinner ended amid the laughter and joy of the five-family members.

Since tomorrow was Saturday, Nuonuo and Little Treasure weren’t in a hurry to do their homework. Le Tong mentioned she needed to go to the supermarket, and all the kids eagerly volunteered to accompany their mommy.

Ji Rui, who originally had some work to handle, now expressed that he, too, wanted to go out for a walk, so the entire family set out together.

When Ji Rui bought this villa back then, there weren’t many people living around, making the environment very quiet. However, the nearby living facilities weren’t very developed, and the nearest supermarket was about a 10 to 20-minute drive away.

Now, after living here for over ten years, and thanks to the developer’s progress, more and more people have settled nearby, and the surrounding facilities have become more complete.

The supermarket they were headed to was not far from their home, only about a ten-minute walk away.

The family of five walked along the sidewalk, the three children chatting and laughing in front, while Le Tong and Ji Rui strolled leisurely hand in hand behind them.

With all the kids together, Le Tong remembered something Ji Rui had mentioned to her a few days ago.

"Kids, Daddy wants to redo the yard. Do you have any opinions?"

The three siblings, who had been talking and laughing, turned around in unison and said, "I object!"

Le Tong shrugged at Ji Rui with a look that said, "I told you so."

"See, I told you so!"

Ji Rui looked at the three kids, "Why do you object? You’re all growing up slowly; wouldn’t it be better if we could redesign the yard to fit your current needs and preferences?"
