The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 387 Family’s Concern

Chapter 387 Family Concern

Immediately, everyone instinctively looked in Mu Xiaoyu's direction.

As luck would have it, just as her stomach growled, Song Yin and Bai Luo appeared at the bottom of the stairs. They were probably still half asleep, staring blankly at Mu Xiaoyu, looking completely lost in thought.

Seeing their reaction, Mu Xiaoyu knew that they probably hadn't heard the sounds coming from her stomach, so she felt a little more at ease.

She waved to Bai Luo and Song Yin: "Get up and come down quickly. My mom's vegetable dumplings smell so good. If you keep standing there, I won't give you the dumplings later."

Upon hearing about food, Bai Luo and Song Yin's eyes lit up, and they instantly became much more alert. Without thinking twice, they rushed downstairs. When they saw the glutinous rice balls in Mu Xiaoyu's hand, they immediately looked pitifully at Mu Xiaoyu's mother, like little animals that needed to be fed.

Mu Xiaoyu's mother hadn't felt such a joyful atmosphere in a long time. From yesterday until now, the smile on her lips had hardly disappeared. Now, being amused by Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin, her smile became even brighter.

"I'll have someone cook some for you right away. There are plenty of glutinous rice balls; that's enough for you all."

"Thank you, aunt!"

At this moment, Bai Luo and Song Yin were sweeter than anyone else, thanking each other obediently with sweet smiles on their faces. This kind of behavior was most liked by elders like Mu Xiaoyu's mother.

The vegetable dumplings were already prepared, but since Bai Luo and the others wanted to eat them, the maid simply put them in the pot to cook. In just a few minutes, the vegetable dumplings were cooked and sprinkled with a thick layer of roasted sesame seeds. Just by smelling them, they were many times better than ordinary dumplings.

Bai Luo and the others were already hungry. Mu Xiaoyu had gotten the glutinous rice balls earlier than them and hadn't even eaten many yet, while the two of them finished off a small bowl of glutinous rice balls.

If it were Bai Luo, it would be fine, since she's not a celebrity and doesn't need to be so strict about her weight.

But Song Yin was different. She should have eaten less of things like glutinous rice balls, but she ended up eating all seven or eight of them in her bowl.

Mu Xiaoyu stared at Song Yin in disbelief. After a while, Song Yin let out a satisfied burp and Mu Xiaoyu stammered, "Song Yin, are you alright? How... how could you eat so much? Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

Compared to Mu Xiaoyu, an outsider, Song Yin was much calmer at this moment. After letting out another burp, she glanced at Mu Xiaoyu indifferently and said unhurriedly, "What's there to be afraid of? You can lose weight if you gain it. It's just a bowl of glutinous rice balls. You won't gain much weight."

Are you sure it's just a bowl of glutinous rice balls?

Mu Xiaoyu's expression was quite interesting. If she remembered correctly, Song Yin didn't eat much meat last night, but she ate a lot of other dishes, even more than Mu Xiaoyu, who didn't have to worry about her weight.

Besides, Song Yin had already told her that she would stay with her for two more days before going to the film set after the New Year. There were still about two days left. If Song Yin ate like this every day, Mu Xiaoyu would be a different person if she didn't gain weight.

Song Yin had obviously thought of this as well, and her expression immediately became complicated and conflicted.

She glanced towards the kitchen subconsciously, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's only two days left. I should be able to restrain myself a little. It's the New Year, after all. If I can't eat anything I want, I'll be miserable."

In fact, Song Yin really likes being an actress. In her opinion, being an actress allows her to experience many aspects of life that she would never experience in real life. She has always loved this profession, both in the past and now.

The only downside is that she has to control her diet!

Since becoming an actress, she can no longer eat almost all the foods she used to love. For example, she used to love milk tea, but now she's basically cut off from it.

Seeing Song Yin's pitiful appearance, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't bear to say anything more.

Personally, she hoped Song Yin would eat more. In her opinion, Song Yin was already thin enough and didn't need to deliberately control her diet to lose weight. Work was important, but health was even more important.

However, Mu Xiaoyu also knew that if Song Yin didn't control herself now, it would be much harder for her to lose weight later.

This is one of the reasons why she wanted to stop Song Yin from eating at that time.

Fortunately, it was during the Lunar New Year, and the food consumed in the past day or two wouldn't cause much weight gain, so Mu Xiaoyu let Song Yin do as she pleased.

The three of them had just finished eating their vegetable dumplings when Li Chenxu and the others came downstairs.

In fact, Li Chenxu had already woken up, but he had been in the study all morning, and it was unclear whether he was dealing with company matters or other things. He basically did not leave the study all morning.

Seeing Li Chenxu come down, Mu Xiaoyu quickly asked him, "You child, even if you're busy, you still have to eat breakfast. I just heard them say that you didn't eat the breakfast they brought up for you, did you?"

Mu Xiaoyu's mother treated Li Chenxu as her own child. Seeing that Li Chenxu didn't take care of his health, she was both angry and heartbroken. She couldn't help but scold Li Chenxu in front of Mu Xiaoyu and the others.

Li Chenxu wasn't angry. In fact, he was quite happy because no elder had ever cared for him like this before. After Mu Xiaoyu's mother finished speaking, he explained, "Auntie, my stomach was a little upset this morning, so I didn't eat any glutinous rice balls. But I still had someone make some other food to fill my stomach a little. Don't worry, I won't be so inconsiderate."

Whether in front of Mu Xiaoyu or Mu Xiaoyu's mother, Li Chenxu completely concealed all his sharp edges. Especially in front of Mu Xiaoyu's mother, he was a completely obedient child, without any of the cold and distant feeling he had outside.

Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu's mother felt somewhat relieved, but she still couldn't help but remind her, "I know you're all busy with work right now, and there's a lot going on lately, but no matter what, please take care of yourselves, okay?"

"Mom, Shenxu knows that I'm usually under his control. If he can't even manage himself, how can he manage me? Please don't say so much. Let's go to the kitchen to cook. It's almost noon. I only ate a little bit of glutinous rice balls, and I'm still hungry."
