Chapter 497: Have You Ever Thought About Considering Others

hfuls of water using Song Yi's hand, and her parched throat felt much better. "Thank you" 。" Thank you " 。“Aunt Song chuckled and put the water cup back on the bedside table.” 。 Fu Xiaoyao looked at..."Yeah, you took care of Xiao Bao for me and even gave me clues about Qi Dongming's whereabouts. I've been back in the country for so long and haven't thanked you properly. So tonight, I'm cooking dinner. Don't mind if it's not delicious." Fu Xiaoyao put the bag in her hand on the kitchen countertop.

The Presidential Suite is just like an apartment, equipped with a spacious and luxurious kitchen that comes fully furnished with all the necessary cooking appliances and ingredients, making it very convenient to cook.

"Shao Siniang also turned the thing in her hand, a slight blush on her fair face. "So this dinner tonight, did you make it especially for me"

"That's right." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

Shao Si Nian's eyes softened, "Then I definitely wouldn't dislike it, even if you make something that tastes bad, I would eat it all!"

This is her first time cooking for him.

However, when these words reached Fu Xiaoyao's ears, she wasn't touched at all. Instead, she rolled her eyes and said, "You straight guy, you say my cooking is unpalatable How could my cooking be unpalatable Over the years, I've been learning everything. Although my culinary skills can't compare to those of a three-star chef, they're definitely better than an average cook."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Shao Si Nian quickly agreed.

He now only had the joy of her personally cooking for him in his mind, he couldn't hear anything else, he just felt that she was right about everything.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at Shao Sian's rare, innocent expression and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Where's XiaoBao" she suddenly remembered, realizing she hadn't seen him when she came in.

Hearing her ask about Xiaobao, Shao Si Nian finally calmed down. He pointed outside the kitchen, "He's taking a shower in his room."

"Then I'll go take a look." Fu Xiaoyao walked toward the kitchen.

Xiaobao became independent very early. She started sleeping alone from the age of three, and at three and a half, she could bathe and dress herself. She didn't cause much trouble and was very sensible.

This kind consideration made Fu Xiaoyao both pleased and a little disappointed.

After all, children are too precocious and sensible. Mothers miss out on a lot of the joy of doing things for their children.

"Xiaobao, are you in there" Fu Xiaoyao came to the bathroom door and lightly knocked on the bathroom door.

There was no response from inside the bathroom, but the sudden sound of running water told her that someone was in there.

Fu Xiaoyao knew, this was Xiaobao responding to her.

She smiled faintly and relaxed.

Although Xiaobao has been taking baths by himself for a while, he's only five years old, so she still worries about him having accidents in the bath, like slipping and swallowing water.

So she could only rest assured when she heard Xiao Bao's response each time.

"Okay, Mama heard you. So Mama won't disturb baby anymore, don't wash for too long oh, it's easy to get dizzy, Mama will go out first." After Fu Xiaoyao finished speaking, she turned and left.

In the kitchen, Shao Si Nian was putting dishes away in the ward when he saw her return. He smiled and asked, "Is Xiaobao finished washing"

"Not yet." Fu Xiaoyao shook her head.

Shao Si-nian closed the refrigerator door, "Are you cooking"

"Yeah." Fu Xiaoyao rolled up her sleeves.

Shao Si Nian looked at her, "How about I help you"

Fu Xiaoyao had no objections and agreed.

It's getting quite late now, she doesn't know how long she has to work alone. It would definitely be faster with an extra pair of hands, so she has no reason to refuse.

And Shao Si Nian, having received her permission, was in high spirits and immediately rolled up his sleeves to get started.

The two people chatted and laughed in the kitchen like this. In just over an hour, a table full of delicious food was ready.

Shao Sini helped carry the food out, and Fu Xiaoyao went to her room to call Xiao Bao.

When she brought out the little treasure, she went back to the wine cabinet and fetched a bottle of red wine.

Shao Si Nian saw the bottle of red wine, his eyebrows first furrowed, just about to speak when Fu Xiao Yao interrupted him, "This dinner tonight, is my special thanks to you, and wouldn't this meal be incomplete without some wine"

On hearing this, Shao Si Nian hesitated for a moment.

Indeed, this meal holds a different meaning. Without wine, it lacks some of its charm.

Seeing Shao Sian's slight interest, Fu Xiaoyao smirked and added fuel to the fire, "Don't worry, we won't drink much. How about just one cup"

Shao Si Nian looked at her, "Really only one cup"

"Well, Xiao Bao will keep an eye on me." Fu Xiaoyao patted Xiao Bao's shoulder.

Xiao Bao glanced at Shao Si Nian, his eyes, inherited from Lu Han Chuan, were a shade of coffee brown, and within them flickered a hint of seriousness.

Shao Sini knew, Xiaobao was really going to supervise Fu Xiaoyao, and his heart suddenly settled down, "Alright, just one cup."

With Xiao Bao watching over her, she should keep her word.

"There you go, give me the cup." Fu Xiaoyao said as she pulled out the cork.

Shao Sian handed the highball glass over.

Fu Xiaoyao poured him a cup, and she poured herself one, as for Xiao Bao, not!

"Here's to you, bottoms up!" Fu Xiaoyao raised her glass of red wine to Shao Sian.

Shao Sinians smiled and raised his glass to toast her.

The mellow red wine filled his mouth, Shao Siniang's eyes lit up, "This red wine isn't from the hotel, is it"

Fu Xiaoyao nodded. “They were my dad’s collection. Before I returned to China, he reluctantly gave me a few bottles.”

Speaking of which, her taste in alcohol comes from her father.

Shi Fu was a connoisseur of wine in private, possessing an extensive understanding of it. She learned a great deal about wine from Shi Fu.

"I see, I can probably imagine how pained your father was when he gave you that drink." Shao Sian teased.

Fu Xiaoyao propped her chin and smiled, "That's right. My dad originally only planned to give me one bottle, but my mom twisted his arm, so he gave me a few more bottles. You should take a bottle with you later too."

"Alright." Shao Siniang did not refuse.

He himself was also a lover of alcohol, but because his profession was a doctor and he had to frequently perform surgeries, he generally didn't drink much. Drinking too much would make his hands shake, but this didn't stop him from enjoying wine.

After that, the two people chatted around Shi Fu's collection. Xiao Bao sat quietly by himself, eating his own food.

After finishing his meal, he climbed down from the children's chair and went back to his room with a Rubik's Cube in hand.

Only Fu Xiaoyao and Shao Sian remained at the dinner table.

One child was missing, leaving only two adults, a man and a woman. The atmosphere had changed somehow.

Shao Siniang suddenly fell silent, her eyes behind the glasses fixed deeply on the woman opposite her, "Xiao Yao, I have a question that I've always wanted to ask you, but I never knew how to ask it. As a result, I've been very unwilling in my heart."

"What's the problem Ask away," Fu Xiaoyao replied, looking back at him.

Shao Si Nian took a breath, as if to encourage himself. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke, "You... still love Lu Hanchuan, don't you"

Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback, "Why did you suddenly ask that"

Shao Si Nian lowered his eyelids, "Because I want to know the answer, I want to know if you still love Lu Hanchuan."

Fu Xiaoyao scoffed, "How could I still love him I'm going to take revenge on him. What would it be like to love him"

"Really" Shao Sini narrowed his eyes, staring into her eyes, as if trying to see through her, to see if she was lying.

Fu Xiaoyao naturally knew the purpose behind his gaze, and she met his eyes as naturally. But after a while, she felt an urge to look away.

But she also knew that if she avoided him, it would indirectly mean that she was guilty. And all the things she had just said about not loving Lu Hanchuan would become a joke. So she quietly put one hand under the table and gripped her own thigh tightly, forcing herself not to look away.

Perhaps because her acting was too convincing, Shao Sinian seemed to believe it, retracting his gaze and lowering his head slightly with a smile. "Since you no longer love Lu Hanchuan, have you considered starting a new relationship" in, which is why I wasn’t burned, but it knocked me unconscious from the impact of the water, and then my brother saved me.” Fu Xiaoyao's eyes softened slightly as she said this.But Song Auntie was v...
