Chapter 2870: Chapter 2868: Not Returning, Too Much Trouble
"The dishes are all here, everyone, let’s eat. We can talk while eating," Qin Xue said, clapping her hands as she brought the last dish to the table, finally done with the preparations.
"Everyone, eat up. Moments like this are rare," Qing Zhu said, unusually playful for once.
She had never spoken like this in front of anyone other than Qin Xue and Nangong Beiying, not even after marrying Ye Xuan.
And it was indeed quite awkward, feeling strange.
Especially when she caught Ye Xuan’s unreadable expression, she felt her face heat up and her heart tremble.
This feeling really scared her into not daring to speak recklessly again. She adjusted her mood, returned to her usual state, and started eating.
Ye Xuan felt a twinge in his heart. Why had this woman never spoken so sweetly in front of him? She was always cold and never showed any expression, unlike now when she was so playful and cute.
He had almost thought that was just how she was, but he had seen before that wasn’t the case; it depended on whom she was dealing with.
After all, he was her husband now; why couldn’t she be like that with him too? Didn’t he find such things too unbelievable?
Moreover, many times he wanted to treat her well, but there always seemed to be something missing between them.
It turns out it was flirting; they never had such tenderness between them. The emotional connection between a couple was something they slowly adjusted to, but without the heart, it would always feel different.
Now Ye Xuan had identified the root of the problem and hoped to address the issues between them.
Now everyone was talking and laughing together, without worrying about the kids at home, enjoying a rare and happy chat.
"Speaking of which, Susu, are you really not planning to take over the family business? I can’t manage everything on my own," Nangong Susu brought everything back from Second Master, and Nangong Susu was a branch from Second Master. It wasn’t impossible for her to manage it, but she seemed uninterested, which made her wonder if she had been too neglectful of her.
"No, I can’t even finish my own things. Why bother with family matters? Just find someone you trust to handle it." Nangong Susu had never liked family affairs.
It’s unclear if she’s too sensitive or has great foresight. In any case, she never got involved in the Nangong family’s matters.
She didn’t even care about her parents. In her view, as long as someone manages the Nangong family and it doesn’t fall apart, it doesn’t concern her.
Who knows if Nangong Beiying would ask her if she’s really a member of the Nangong family after hearing that.
Anyway, for someone like her, she just wanted to do her own thing, rather than follow Nangong Beiying in dealing with family matters.
If it were before, she might not even bother with her. It was only because of her recent tactics showing that the Nangong family might have hope and that people seemed good enough for her to consider getting along.
"Susu, the family also has businesses in this area, why don’t you want to do it and instead work outside," Nangong Beiying couldn’t really understand this.
"It’s too troublesome. I think things are fine the way they are now, and I can do well," Nangong Susu said, eating quickly but with grace.
"Why are you so different from others? Don’t you feel you’re a bit out of place?" Nangong Beiying wasn’t trying to embarrass her but just discussing the matter objectively.
However, there really wasn’t much to say about this matter. Whether it was her or the Nangong family, it all held a different meaning for her. But looking at Nangong Beiying’s somewhat puzzled eyes, she sighed.
