Chapter 399: Chapter 399_1 Chapter 399: Chapter 399_1 When the Lady of the Si Family got home today, she saw the servants setting the tableware with a full seafood spread laid out. The smooth, white table reflected a faint sheen.

Seeing Si Limo leading Qiao Xiaren downstairs, she seemed to understand what was going on, as the housekeeper coincidentally took her coat, “Madam, you’re finally back, the children said they’ve been waiting for you to start dinner.”

“So Xiaren is here.”

“How’s Aunt Ping doing over there? I’ll go and check on Lishui Villa in a few days.”

The Lady of the Si Family went over and patted her hand gently. Ever since she learned about Qiao Xiaren’s background from Si Limo, she inexplicably felt a hint of pity for her. This child is truly too pitiful.

When she eventually marries into the family, she must be treated well.

“Lady Si, I’m fine over there. The environment is very elegant and Aunt Ping is good to me.”

“Silly child, you don’t have to call me Lady Si, call me Auntie.” Lady Si laughed, “Everyone happened to be here today, let’s have an extra supper tonight – how about wonton noodles?”

The Si Family has been through too many extravagant banquets. The seemingly exquisite desserts, wine and various dishes are indeed very unappetizing to them, so they prefer traditional homemade food.

“It’s been a long time since I had wonton noodles, Mom, let Xiaren taste your cooking skills.” Si Yelin laughed teasingly, causing Lady Si to pinch his nose, “You’re always causing mischief.”

Watching Lady Si head towards the kitchen, Si Zhilan winked at her brother and glanced at Qiao Xiaren, “I’m going to help our mom in the kitchen, Big Brother, you should also come and help.”

With his younger sister dragging him along, Si Yelin reluctantly followed to “help” in the kitchen. Leaving Qiao Xiaren and Si Limo alone. Qiao Xiaren turned to him with a joking tone, “Your family is very harmonious, not at all like the scheming and backstabbing shown in rich households on television.”

“Indeed.” Si Limo looked up, put the peeled crab into her bowl, and smiled faintly, “We don’t have the typical mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems. If you marry into our family, you might even steal my position in my mom’s heart.”

“Who’s marrying you?” Qiao Xiaren’s smiling face under the light was breathtakingly beautiful, “Don’t flatter yourself. That three-year agreement of yours, I have never verbally agreed to it.”

Watching her laugh, Si Limo’s gaze deepened, “No worries, didn’t you say that it was a ruler’s decree? Since it’s a ruler’s decree, the ruler can forcefully take the beauty to be his bride. If Ranran feels upset, you can give birth to a little ruler to suppress me, and I’ll do everything you and the little ruler tell me to do. How’s that?”

Qiao Xiaren looked at him speechlessly, feeling that every word he uttered seemed like a trap. Did he think she was a fool, so easily fooled?

Of course, Si Limo wasn’t trying to trick her; he was just teasing her subtly. Hmm, a daily dose of wife teasing. However, they would have to have this little ruler eventually, it was just a matter of time.

“Ranran, you don’t need to worry about your parents. I’ve sent people to investigate in Shanshui Town. Although it’s been so many years, there must be some clues left.”

Hearing Si Limo’s reassurance, Qiao Xiaren nodded and softly said, “Actually, I don’t necessarily want to disrupt their lives, I just want to know who they are.”
