Chapter 269: A peanut battle

The childish laughter and giggles were really uncontainable. It was clear to them all that Chi Lian was quite naïve and very much in love.

Because she could not take the knowing looks and silly laughter anymore, she hid behind the counter, away from the sight of all her supportive family members.

"All of you should stop it, you are embarrassing my Chi-Chi." Muyang bravely said to the rest of the family.

"Ooouh," the triplets juvenilely mooned once more.

"Okay, stop it all of you, my daughter-in-law, will never show her head in public if you keep this up." He Weili complained but with an indulgent smile.

"Auntie, stop hiding and come out." The young prince went hunting for Chi Lian behind the counter and he smelled something tantalizing. "Auntie, what smells so good?" he questioned her with eager eyes and greed in his eyes.

Chi Lian found the little boy so adorable. She reached her hand out an pinched his cheek.

"It’s just some peanuts." She answered.

Without even asking, Chi Lian knew that his next words were probably going to a request to eat some peanuts. So she said, "Return to your seat, auntie will bring you peanuts."

"Yes." The little prince replied and run away quickly.

He took a seat but his neck was craning restlessly, one would think he wanted to make sure that Chi Lian did not escape with the peanuts.

Chi Lian saw his eager look and she shook her head. She heaped a bunch of peanuts into a small bowl and brought it to him.

He Weili and the queen dowager who were sitting with the little prince sniffed the sweet appetizing smell of the peanuts and they too looked at Chi Lian.

"Everyone will be getting their own peanuts." She announced and returned behind the counter to retrieve them.

The moment her back turned away, the peanuts in the little prince’s bowl were snatched away by the adults who looked at him righteously.

"Auntie," the little prince shouted tearfully, "They are stealing my peanuts." He reported tearfully.

Chi Lian was stunned to meet the sight of grown adults who were competing over the activity of peanut snatching. The little prince was trying hard to save his peanuts but it was to no avail. His hands were too small and the adults were too strong and fast.

"Eh, are you all really this impatient?" she questioned them.

The Queen dowager for one was embarrassed but her hands kept going for the bowl either way. "Chi-Chi, you don’t understand, the smell and taste of these peanuts is really novel and tempting. I just wanted to taste one but as soon as i did, I wanted more. Is it a new variety?"

"So this is what you gave your father and gave none to me. Eh Chi-Chi, a piece of meat that fell out of my own body, how heartless are you to your own mother?" Mama Chi complained with disbelief in her eyes.

How could her daughter share the good things with only her father?

Chi Lian had no answer for her mother’s lamentations. When she offered her peanuts last night, mama Chi said she was on a diet. Why was she making it sound as if Chi Lian deliberately hid the peanuts away from her?

She returned with Meili and they distributed the peanuts to everyone present. She made sure to refill the little prince’s bowl.

"Chi-Chi, can you save some for Yu-Yu." Chi Wei whispered to her.

"En." She answered with a nod of her head.

He Weili caught part of the conversation and she looked at Mama Chi with confused questioning eyes.

"I will fill you in later." Mama Chi told her friend/ in-law.

Muyang and the babies received the largest portion of the peanuts to the envy of everyone, however how could they complain? This was favoritism between two lovers; they had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

Besides, who could get in between the little foodie Mei-Mei and the bowl of peanuts? It was simply paving the road to angering her overprotective parents.

As they continued enjoying tea and other snacks, they also engaged in conversation cheerfully.

"This place is really beautiful." The queen dowager commented.

"Thank you." Chi Lian replied with a smile. "Although I need another permanent employee because Zimo is here temporarily."

"I am sure that if the young ladies find out about him they will show up here like a swarm of bees. I have never seen a boy that beautiful." The queen dowager commented while pointing to Meili. "Even his name means beautiful, his parents must have some of the best genes in the world."

"I know right? I said it before too" Mama Chi responded as if someone had rejected her statement about Meili’s beauty before.

"He looks young; we should not allow the water to flow out of our own houses. Don’t any of you have a good niece to match him up with?" Mama Chi asked. The women were now closely conspiring together.

Chi Lian almost choked on a peanut when she heard their loud conspiring. Meili was a robot, how could he date a human? She needed a gigantic excuse to get them to back off or Meili would be on a blind date tomorrow.

"Mom, Meili is gay." She blurted out.

The women were stunned speechless, how could that very beautiful man be gay? It was such a loss to the women all over the world. Just look at his long limbs, muscles and pretty face.

He Weili turned her eyes to the triplets and Ringo.

The three who were suddenly looked at shivered. What was with that look?

"You four, since none of you have girlfriends..." He Weili seemed to be suggesting something with her incomplete statement.

She looked at Meili and back at them. They too looked at Meili and back at her.

"Mom, I think you should set me up on a blind date again." Ringo blurted.

"Us too aunt." The triplets were quick to add themselves.

It was obvious that their aunt was about to go crazy and suggest that one of them should date Meili.

He Weili and the old madam smiled slyly, if they had known that this would be all it took to get these four trouble makers to agree and go out on blind dates, they would have tried this strategy years ago.

Perhaps they would have a hoard of grandkids running around in plenty by now.

"Your mother is cunning." Chi Lian whispered to Muyang.

"You have no idea how much." Muyang whispered back.

"I think I am afraid of her now." Chi Lian told him and Muyang chuckled.

Chi Zimo suddenly shouted from the counter, "Wow sister this is unbelievable, the Juan tea page already has ten thousand followers." He said in ecstasy.
