"Auntie, let me help you with the dishes." Xia Meilin offered as she stood up.
She took her plate but it was grabbed from her by Jing Wanru. "You don't have to, sweetheart. You're our guests." Jing Wanru said with a smile.
Unlike Jing Yue, Jing Wanru was easy to befriend and was very kind to others. She has a resemblance with her younger sister but there were also some differences in her face, especially the way she smiles and her round eyes. Even if she was older than Jing Yue by two years, she looked younger than her. Maybe it was because she always smiles and she looked bright?
"Mello will help!" Little Melon raised his hand and grinned at her. "Let me help, grandmomma! Let me help!"
"I won't say no to the young one." Jing Wanru started collecting the dishes with the help of Nian Jiezhen and Little Mello.
"Yifeng, why don't you bring your wife to the living room? It's more comfortable there."
"Auntie, I do not have a disability, I am just pregnant." Xia Meilin pouted as she stood up.
Nian Jiezhen nodded inwardly. She's just pregnant so what's with the special treatment to her?
"That's more the reason why I shouldn't allow you to do the hard works."
"Was.h.i.+ng the dishes is not hard." Xia Meilin insisted.
"I have Xiao Mello and my daughter to help me, just let us do this." Jing Wanru smiled, refusing to back down.
"Come, honey." Lu Yifeng placed his hand on her waist and gently dragged her towards the living room.
Nian Jiezhen stared at the two with an envious gaze. She pursed her lips and turned away. She stomped her way to the kitchen.
Jing Yue watched the couple leave before she followed her daughter to the kitchen. "It's about time you get married, Jiezhen. Look at Xiao Mei, she's the same age as you and yet she's already married, plus she's about to have her second and third child."
"I'm committed to my work." Nian Jiezhen said coldly. She waited for Lu Yifeng all these years. Since they grew up together, she thought that one day, they would be together too.
