They had a simple lunch, mainly because Su Chen and the others hadn’t timed their arrival very well.
It was already 11:30 AM when they arrived, so even if Chen Changjie had wanted to prepare an elaborate meal, there wasn’t enough time. They made do with a simple lunch, planning to cook something better for dinner.
After lunch, Su Zhuyun took Chen Shufen for a walk around the neighborhood, eager to show off a little. When he had visited a few of the neighbors that morning, they had all called him "Brother Zhuyun."
In the past, this would have been unimaginable. Those same relatives and neighbors used to just refer to him as "Shufen’s husband," not even using his name.
Things were even more interesting for Su Chen. Little Yao Yao had taken a shine to him, even insisting that he hold her while she ate. No matter what Chen Rui and his wife said, the little girl wouldn’t have it any other way and demanded to be held by Su Chen.
"Uncle~" Little Yao Yao’s big, dewy eyes stared right at Su Chen.
Looking at her adorable face, Su Chen couldn’t resist pinching her little cheek. "Hm? What’s the matter, Little Yao Yao?"
Little Yao Yao pouted and rubbed her cheek. It seemed Su Chen had pinched a little too hard, and it hurt.
In an instant, tears welled up in her big, dark eyes. This sent Su Chen into a panic, and he quickly pulled her into a hug.
"Did your uncle pinch too hard just now? I’m sorry. Please don’t cry, okay?" Su Chen was at a complete loss. He tried to coax her with sweet words, but nothing seemed to work; she still looked like she was on the verge of tears.
This stumped Su Chen. He had no experience with this sort of thing and could only rely on his limited knowledge to try and soothe her.
Just as he was about to call for his sister-in-law’s help, an idea struck him. He gently rubbed Little Yao Yao’s head and said, "Hey, Little Yao Yao, do you want a Barbie doll? Your uncle will buy you one!"
As he spoke, Su Chen pulled out his phone, found a picture of a Barbie doll online, and showed it to her.
Sure enough, the moment Little Yao Yao saw the picture of the Barbie doll, her eyes were glued to the screen and a smile spread across her face. But then she seemed to remember something, and she pouted, "Uncle, we shouldn’t buy a Barbie doll. Mommy will spank me if she finds out!"
She might have been saying no, but her little eyes kept stealing glances at Su Chen’s phone.
"Hahaha! Don’t worry, I’ll talk to your mom about it!" With that, Su Chen scooped up Little Yao Yao and headed for the G-Wagon.
What he didn’t see was the triumphant little smirk on the face of the girl leaning against his shoulder.
The white G-Wagon slowly pulled out of the courtyard. Just then, his second sister-in-law came rushing down the stairs. Watching the SUV drive away, she couldn’t help but sigh. ’I hope that little rascal goes easy on her uncle.’
Su Chen didn’t head into the local town. For one, it wasn’t very large, and he didn’t know his way around. Besides, there was no guarantee they’d even sell Barbie dolls there. Rather than waste time, he decided to drive directly to Fuzhou.
