Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 212

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

Just as Xie Jingyuan was about to stop her, Xu Shou agreed.

Xie Jingyuan just watched Su Miaomiao jump over happily onto Xu Shou’s back skillfully.

Xu Shou firmly carried her on his back. But when she tried to pull his hair, he warned her, “Don’t go too far.”

“Don’t be too stingy! Do you know how many people want to take a picture with me?”

Xu Shou pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

Seeing that, Mr. Gu asked the two young people to look at the camera.

Su Miaomiao smiled brightly.

Xu Shou looked at her white and clean hands, and felt that Su Miaomiao’s children would definitely let him hug them in the future.

After the picture was taken, the group of four came together to take a look.

In the middle of the screen was of course Xu Shou who was carrying Su Miaomiao on his back, and Xie Jingyuan was also standing in the corner of the screen, with a weird expression.

Gu Jialing said on seeing that, “Taoist Master, you seem to have discovered Su Miaomiao having an affair with Xu Shou in this picture.”

Not long after congratulating Mr. Gu on his birthday, it would be new year.

On the day of the new year, Xie Jingyuan went to the county town to accompany Grandpa and Grandma Su.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, due to Tang Shiwei’s work arrangements, she would not be able to return to Jiangcheng that year, and Su Mingan was going to stay with her to celebrate the New Year. So Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan planned to go to Jiangcheng together.

Grandma Tao assured her grandson, “You have nothing to worry about, your father is here.”

She liked her eldest grandson the most, but her son, his wife, and the twins were also her family members, so she wouldn’t be lonely during the New Year. Her grandson usually spent a lot of time with her, and that year was the year he and Miaomiao obtained the certificate, so he should visit Miaomiao’s elders on both sides.

When the old lady said so, Xie Jingyuan went to buy new year’s goods without worry, and then boarded the plane to Jiangcheng with Su Miaomiao.

Su Miaomiao’s grandparents were very strong, and the old couple lived alone in a villa, but every Chinese New Year, her two uncles would bring their families to the villa for the New Year, and it was very lively for several days in a row. Her uncle’s cousin drove to the airport and picked them up.

After getting out of the car, Su Miaomiao saw her grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and finally her cousin Tang Yan.

It was just that next to Tang Yan, there was another familiar but not very familiar face, Zhou Hang.

Meeting Su Miaomiao’s gaze, Zhou Hang showed a slightly shy smile.

He had been in love with Tang Yan for so many years, and he was finally qualified to meet her parents that year.

“Xiao Hang, this is Jing Yuan, haven’t you seen him in Beijing before?”

“I’ve seen him before, we had dinner once.”

Thinking that Tang Yan would at least take him to a dinner party with her cousin, Zhou Hang felt somewhat comforted.

Xie Jingyuan greeted every relative, and finally shook hands with Zhou Hang.

Zhou Hang, who had already felt inferior to Xie Jingyuan countless times, had developed immunity, and could get along with him more naturally.

However, because Xie Jingyuan would entertain those relatives in Jiangcheng for Su Miaomiao every year when Beijing held the China Open, the relatives treated him more intimately, just like their own child. So Zhou Hang observed for a while, and he complained to Tang Yan in a low voice, “It’s all your fault, if you had brought me here earlier, I would have become one with everyone.”

“Jing Yuan has been with Miaomiao for twenty-two years, how do you compare with him?”

That day was New Year’s Eve. In the evening, everyone was divided into two groups to prepare dinner. The uncles and aunts went to cook southern New Year’s Eve dishes, and the grandparents started preparing dumplings for Su Miaomiao, Xie Jingyuan, and Zhou Hang.

Seeing Zhou Hang helping her, the grandma said in surprise, “Xiao Hang can make dumplings?”

Zhou Hang smiled very brightly, and glanced at Xie Jingyuan secretly. Even if Xie Jingyuan was a God-level person who could take care of Su Miaomiao, he probably had never done such a down-to-earth job as making dumplings. 

Then Zhou Hang watched as Xie Jingyuan took off his coat and rolled up his shirt sleeves, as if he was about to strike.

“Well, Miaomiao likes to eat seafood stuffing, I’ll go to the kitchen to make the stuffing first.”

Tang Yan brought out two new aprons, one with “God of Cooking” printed on it, and the other with “Foodie” printed on it.

“This is a gift I gave to my grandparents before, and it’s just right for you to use.”

As she said that, Tang Yan casually handed the “God of Cooking” to Xie Jingyuan, and then handed the “Foodie” to Zhou Hang.

Zhou Hang felt that his girlfriend did it on purpose, since he could also be a chef.

However, Tang Yan also cared about Zhou Hang, fearing that he would not be able to integrate into the family, when Zhou Hang accompanied her grandparents rolling dumpling wrappers, Tang Yan sat beside him and chatted.

Xie Jingyuan was standing in the kitchen packing up the seafood. After seeing the scene, he went to look at the sofa.

Su Miaomiao sat on the sofa comfortably and lazily. The three-year-old nephew of her cousin was watching a cartoon, and Su Miaomiao watched it as well.

Xie Jingyuan thought about it, but still didn’t call her over via voice transmission.

Unexpectedly, Su Miaomiao voluntarily left the sofa and came to him.

“Is the cartoon not good?” Xie Jingyuan asked while chopping stuffing.

Su Miaomiao nodded and snorted, “It’s all about dogs, Xu Shou probably will like to watch it.”

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

After finishing the stuffing, Xie Jingyuan took it in and Su Miaomiao also followed.

The grandma said to Tang Yan, “When are you and Xiao Hang going to get married? Miaomiao is younger than you, and will have a wedding on National Day this year.”

“Do you know why I only brought Zhou Hang home now? I was afraid that you would urge me to marry.”

Her grandpa said from the side, “If you had done it earlier, why would we need to urge you? We didn’t urge Miaomiao.”

Zhou Hang rescued his girlfriend, he said, “It’s my fault that I’m not good enough. I just earned Yanyan’s approval this year.”

The grandma said with a smile, “He is so sweet and tall, growing more handsome each day. Plus, he can cook too – he’s already very impressive!.”
