Once Upon A One Night Stand

"Li Han..." Shu Tian was so moved that she didn't know what to say.

"Good girl, don't be sad." He took the lunch box from her lap. "It's going to be cold in a while. Why don't you come in and eat with me?"

Shu Tian held back her tears. "Okay."

They walked into the villa, the one behind the other. It was not very late yet, almost eight o'clock. Usually, Jiang Chujing was upstairs at this time, but today, for the first time, she was sitting in the living room downstairs watching TV.

Nanny Li worked alone in the dining room, Jiang Chujing didn't accompany her.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Chujing looked over and saw they had come back together. Her eyes darkened a little, but she still moved forward enthusiastically. "Han, you're back."

After that, she looked at Shu Tian and said politely and perfunctorily, "Miss Shu, you're coming too."

"Yes." Shu Tian was not in a good mood and didn't want to talk to her. She looked at Nanny Li who was walking over. "Nanny Li, I'm sorry to trouble you to heat up the dumplings." Nanny Li smiled and quickly waved her hand. She took the lunch box from Li Han and hurried to the kitchen to use the microwave again.

Jiang Chujing's fists were clenched, the nails digging deep into her palms, and she asked with feigned curiosity, "Who made the dumplings?"

"My parents." Shu Tian changed her shoes and said humbly, "You can try it later."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chujing changed her attitude, "Okay, I haven't eaten dumplings since I came back. I almost forgot how the dumplings taste."

Shu Tian frowned. She was a little unhappy but didn't say anything. It was just a few dumplings. No matter what she thought, there was no need to talk about it.

"How do you feel today?" Li Han asked her as he pulled the tie off.

Jiang Chujing turned to look at him, and her face broke into smiles when catching sight of Li Han. "It was good. I just woke up a little dizzy in the morning. Everything else was fine."

"Junze got someone home tomorrow night to give you a systematic physical examination. Prepare in advance and don't eat too much." This afternoon, Ling Junze also reminded him that a half-month checkup should be done.

Jiang Chujing nodded. "I see, Han. You can go up and change first."

Li Han led Shu Tian upstairs. As soon as they left, Jiang Chujing went into the kitchen. The dumplings had not been cooked for long and only needed to be heated for a while. Nanny Li was moving the dumplings from the lunch box to the plate and taking two plates of vinegar as a dip.

It was rare for Jiang Chujing to help in the kitchen. She took two pairs of chopsticks out and looked at the two plates of white and chubby dumplings on the table. She turned to look upstairs and put one into he mouth before anyone was ready. To be honest, the fragrance of radish mixed with the strong smell of the meat filling, and one of them left a fragrance in her mouth.

She didn't expect Shu Tian's parents to be good at cooking. No wonder she brought dumplings to Li Han.

Then came the second and third... In a blink of an eye, she ate up more than half of a plate of dumplings.

When Nanny Li finished cleaning up the kitchen and saw it, she was almost stunned. She wanted to remind her, but because of her identity, she couldn't say anything.

When Shu Tian and Li Han came downstairs, the dumplings on the dining table were scattered on the plates. It was obvious that they had been eaten.

The one who did it was sitting behind the table, still drinking the hot water leisurely.

Seeing her come down, she even said shamelessly, "Miss Shu, your parents are really good at cooking. This dumpling is one of the best I've ever eaten."

Shu Tian didn't feel honored to receive such an evaluation. She really didn't know that Jiang Chujing was so thick-skinned and could do such a thing with poor parenting. She raised her lower lip speechlessly. "As long as you like it."

It was obvious that the dumplings were prepared for Li Han. What mattered was not how delicious and rare the food was but the regard behind it. Now she ate them without saying anything. Everyone would be upset, including Li Han.

He looked at the mess on the table and at the woman sitting in the chair in surprise. Receiving his gaze, Jiang Chujing said pitifully. "I'm sorry, I can't help but be a little greedy because it's too delicious. My parents used to like to make dumplings for me when they were still alive. Dumplings are the most indispensable during the holidays. Now that I haven't eaten them for so many years, it just so happened that Miss Shu cooked them and brought them over. I'm really excited."

Every time the atmosphere was subtle, she would always find an excuse on grounds of her parents that people had to believe it.

What Li Han couldn't let himself hear was that how her parents were before they died. Every time she mentioned it, Li Han would recall what happened before. It was painful.

Shu Tian didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she simply pushed the plate in front of her. "Eat more if you like. There are still a lot of raw ones."

Jiang Chujing was a little surprised by what she said. But her plan succeeded. She felt comfortable inside. "Han, come and try it too!"

Li Han looked at the dumplings on the plate. They were thin and filled with a small white belly, which was visually delicious.

He sat down. He was actually a bit of a neat freak. The dumplings had already been picked. But thinking that it was made by Shu Tian's parents, he picked up his chopsticks and picked one up.

Shu Tian blocked his hand and looked down at the man. "I'll ask Nanny Li to cook some more for you."

As she spoke, she took the plates off the table and went into the kitchen, ordering Nanny Li to cook the raw dumplings that had just been placed in the refrigerator.

The steam rose and the white dumplings went in. After a while, they floated up. Shu Tian stood next to Nanny Li and waited. Not long after, the crystal dumplings were picked up.

"Put it on two plates." Shu Tian handed over another plate.

Nanny Li took it and naturally packed it separately. In fact, one plate was enough, but they were afraid that such an awkward situation would happen again.

"Miss Shu, don't be angry. Just take it as pity for her!" Nanny Li whispered in her ear, but in fact, she was also defending her. This Miss Jiang had gone too far in doing things. What she did just now really shocked others.

Shu Tian smiled, patted Nanny Li on the shoulder, and comforted her, "I'm fine."

Out of the kitchen, Jiang Chujing was still sitting in her chair, talking to Li Han about the physical examination tomorrow. When she saw her coming over, her eyes fell on the dumplings on the plate. Her eyes flashed without saying anything.

Li Han looked at the heat from the plate, which made his heart warm. He put one into her mouth, and the fragrance overflowed. He couldn't help but chew a few more times.

Accustomed to the exquisite dishes outside, he would also want to think of this kind of heartwarming home-cooked food, but he was used to living alone, and no one had done this for him for a long time.

"Is it delicious?" Shu Tian asked him with a smile.

He nodded and praised genuinely, "It's delicious."

"If you like, I'll ask my mother to make it for you during the new year. She can make any stuffing. She's good at it." Seeing that he liked it, Shu Tian was also happy and couldn't help but show off. Jiang Chujing's heart tightened when she heard this. New year? Did she still want her family to come here for the new year?

However, the next second, Li Han's answer made her even more uncomfortable. He nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Jiang Chujing clenched her hands tightly under the table. The hatred in her eyes at the moment she lowered her head made people shudder. She would never let this day happen!
