My Girl and Tenderness

He helped her up, smiled, and said:

"I'm fine, Mom. Let's go back and eat now. The food is cold and I'll heat it up for you."

"Ok?"

Mulan heard his voice become normal again, without the panic he had before. She couldn't help but tilt her head, wondering what had happened to him in there and why his attitude changed so suddenly.

The wife was stunned, but the mother-in-law was happy about the slight closeness of her son-in-law, and there was a slight curve at the corner of her cold face.

Is this a laugh?

He looked like he was angry, and his eyes were very scary.

But after listening to his mother and Aunt Hong's advice, he slowly jumped out of his own perspective and was able to understand the meaning of his mother-in-law's behavior and the subtle changes in her expressions.

It turns out this is her way of showing kindness.

Huh? It seems that Aunt Mu really liked him before? He had seen this expression several times when he was a child, but he was just scared at that time.

It turns out that what Mulan said, "Mom likes you very much," was true, and it was not just a polite consolation.

"Then let's go. Thank you, Xiaokong. I was really too careless."

Don't be afraid when the mother-in-law holds his hand, her temperament is that of a kind elder, she entertains him like a host and tries to please him.

Qin Kong shook his head and laughed -

"I was too impulsive and almost made Mom fall. Are you okay? If you got hurt anywhere, I would be guilty of a great crime. I deserve death."

"Nonsense, you can't say that."

Aunt Mu pinched him, but she was happy in her heart. Although she didn't know what happened, he was no longer as strange and awkward as before, which was undoubtedly a good thing.

Normally, she wears work clothes even at home, and rarely wears casual clothes. After all, she always has to go to the company and socialize. Today, she thought she shouldn't be so serious when meeting her son-in-law, so she changed her clothes on purpose.

Is the cheongsam a bit old-fashioned? But the mother-in-law in TV dramas seems to wear it often, and she doesn't quite understand what to wear when meeting her son-in-law.

I just kept thinking about getting closer.

I called him by his nickname, cooked him a meal, and tried to show my motherly attitude, but all I got was a cold reception.

When he called "Aunt Mu".

In fact, she was a little lost.

He looked embarrassed, and there was only estrangement in his attitude. They were obviously not strangers, and they were closer before, but now it has become like this. It must be his own failure.

How to do how to do……

It was his first time being a son-in-law, and her first time being a mother-in-law. She wanted her daughter and her husband to get along harmoniously, but something didn't feel right.

Is it because I did something wrong?

Started to doubt myself.

increasingly uneasy.

Until now, he smiled and said -

"You're talking nonsense. Whose fault could it be other than mine? How could Mom be wrong? It's all my fault for not noticing Mom's worry."

It seemed like he was talking about this, but also seemed like he was talking about something else. She widened her eyes slightly. Did he notice her mood, or was it just a blind cat catching a dead mouse?

"You...are really likable."

He chuckled and shook his head. No matter what happened, it didn't matter. What mattered was that now, he and her were as close as real mother and son. That was enough.

I have seen them grow up together, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them saying they are really mother and son, right?

Kidding.

"Hmm? Hmm?"

Mulan watched the two of them walk out intimately, and stood there with her mouth open in a daze.

This, what's the situation?

She seemed to have never seen her own mother smile like this before. She always looked a bit "bitter and vengeful", and the contrast of the smile just now was so psychedelic.

How come the situation suddenly improved?

"Wait, wait, husband? Mom?"

She felt a little disgusted and followed them out with her long legs. She saw that they were already eating. Even though she had a million things to complain about, she had no choice but to sit down.

"Come here, Xiaokong, this is what mom made, want to try it? I wanted to make a few more dishes for you...but mom is clumsy."

"No, it's just that mom wants to cook for me, and I want to show off to mom. I am the most willful, and you just tolerate my temper."

"……"This guy is so sweet-talking to his mother, he has no shame at all. He is the same at home, always saying sweet words to his own mother.

There are probably not many people who can express their feelings to their mother as frankly as he does.

Few are as shameless as him.

Many people dare to say anything shameless outside, are reluctant to get close to their family members, and there are many who still dare not say "I love you" to their mothers.

In this respect, he is quite amazing.

At least Mulan had never been so close to her mother before. She held her hand and chatted with her, constantly making her laugh. It was like they were a real mother and son...

Have I become an outsider?

She pursed her lips, feeling a little lonely. Watching her husband and mother talking non-stop, she suddenly interrupted -

"Hey, honey, eat this..."

"Okay, ahhh."

Without any hesitation, he was like a completely different person compared to his previous fear. He swallowed the food his wife fed him in one gulp.

Then the mother-in-law came, smiled and put it to his mouth, and said:

"I remember you like tofu?"

"Hey? Did I tell you that? How did mom know?"

As if he had no hands, he let his mother-in-law feed him with peace of mind. He was so shameless that he was beyond the average person, and his face was even filled with happiness.

Is this the maternal love that my wife Mulan has always enjoyed? Today I also enjoyed it.

It's great, it's great.

The mother-in-law covered her lips and teeth lightly, with a straight posture, and even started to joke -

"You call me mom, isn't it normal to know what your son likes?"

"Yeah, that's normal. I'll eat a few more bites then."

"Okay, there's more."

"..." Wait, wait? That's not right?

Mulan watched as she fed herself a mouthful, and her mother fed her several more mouthfuls in succession. The warmth of the two of them seemed to have completely forgotten about her, and the disgust in her heart made her grit her teeth.

This, this is my husband! This is my mom!

Why do I feel like I am redundant? This is not the way to play!

554. Mother-in-law is embarrassed

"..."

My own mother and my own husband, two important people getting along harmoniously, should have been a happy time like a dream, but... why is it like this?

Should I go back to my room and give them the space?

Mulan fell into deep thought.

"Hey."

The mother-in-law sighed, looked at the rice grains at the corners of his mouth, wiped them with a handkerchief, and said--

"It's a pity that I only made one dish. I wanted you to taste my cooking."

"Then there's still another chance, um."

Qin Kong held her hand like a complete child, letting his mother-in-law treat him like her own mother would her son. He actually felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

But this kind of warmth is really attractive.

And there are some other considerations, this is the best choice.

He said:

"I'm not leaving after this meal. I just got home. I'll be looking forward to my mom cooking next time. I'll be lying on the sofa drinking Coke and waiting lazily."

"Be a stupid son who does nothing but waits for mom to take care of you. If you can't stand it anymore, I'll slap you on the butt, and then I'll pretend to take out the trash, hehe."

The mother-in-law couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and patted the back of his hand and said--

"Xiao Kong, are you often spanked by your mother-in-law at home? You are already so old, how can she really spank you? Just be lazy with your mother, it's okay."

"Well, anyway, mom has a babysitter here."

"What are you talking about? Mom doesn't want a nanny anymore. Mom will be your nanny."

How could she not spoil such a dear son? The mother-in-law might have to teach him a lesson, but she didn't need to do so. The mother-in-law didn't take on the task of educating her son-in-law, she only loved him.

Mulan couldn't bear to listen any longer, and couldn't help but remind her biological mother, who seemed a little too happy and flushed, and said -

"Mom? You're so busy at work, you should let others do these things..."

"What are you busy with? Work is not as important as taking care of Xiaokong. You really don't know the importance of things."

“???” No, I just gave a reminder, why did I get scolded?

Mulan saw that her mother actually glared at her, as if blaming her for not putting her husband's affairs first and not caring enough about her "darling son".

Isn't his passive ability to please his mother a little too strong?

In the past, her mother only showed a little liking for him, but now she likes him more than her own daughter. It’s basically that he has taken away her motherly love.

Wronged.

Mulan bit her lower lip lightly, already beginning to feel like she was picked up.

"what……"

Qin Kong looked at his wife's aggrieved look from the corner of his eyes and said with a smile -

"Mom, don't blame Mulan. She cares about your work. Unlike me, I keep pestering you and delay things. I have become a burden to you."

"Pah, pah, pah, what burden? I volunteered to do this. I am happy to be able to take care of you."

"..." Mulan pinched the chopsticks. What was going on with this feeling of jealousy? For a moment, she didn't know who to envy. She actually understood Xiao Ye's feelings a little bit.

Being caught in the middle and being ignored is simply unacceptable.

The man with long legs kicked him hard under the table to vent his anger.

"what?"

He looked at his wife in disbelief. His mother-in-law scolded her, but he tried to persuade her. Why did he still kick her? She couldn't afford to offend her mother, so she took it out on her husband, right?

Mother-in-law kept her eyes on him. Seeing his expression change, she patted his shoulder with concern and asked -

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing."

He smiled and said -

"It just seems like a kitten bit me."

"Cat? There's no cat at home."

The mother-in-law's eyes moved around and finally looked at her daughter, as if asking a question.

Mulan lowered her head, thinking that if her mother knew, she would probably scold her again. She mindlessly defended her good son-in-law, daughter? She didn't know who it was anymore.

Qin Kong immediately came to the rescue when he saw this, and smiled as he picked up some food for his mother-in-law, saying -

"Mom, you eat too. How come you haven't eaten a single bite while you're taking care of me all the time?"

"Hey, Xiaokong is so filial..."

She felt that today was a really happy day. She was able to have such a good son-in-law and become close to him. Although there were some difficulties at the beginning, the result was still good.
