Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: Cake
Qin Yingjun looked at Qin Man, whose face was full of tender concern, and secretly swallowed, sowhat doubting if he was overthinking things.
Just like Qin Man said, Wen Mao was already dead, and she only had one nephew like Qin Yingjun, who she had to rely on to take care of her in the future.
How could she do anything to him?
Thinking of this, Qin Yingjun felt sowhat reassured, but still did not want to eat, so he said, “Auntie, I don’t feel uncomfortable, I’m just not hungry right now, I can’t eat a thing, I want to sleep for a while and eat later, is that okay?”
Qin Man frowned and scrutinized him, “Yingjun, are you still upset with your aunt for being harsh to you?”
Qin Yingjun was taken aback, and laughed dryly, “No, not at all.”
Qin Man was suspicious, “Really? How co it feels like you’re acting strange today, as if you don’t like anymore? Previously, whenever I made you food, you’d eat it without a word, but today you’re making excuses. Did I do sothing to upset you?”
As she spoke, Qin Man’s expression showed so unease and grievance, her eyes very nearly teary, as if afraid of offending Qin Yingjun.
As soon as she said this, Qin Yingjun felt as if he was on a hot seat.
How could he refuse now?
Forcing himself, Qin Yingjun said, “Nothing of the sort, I’m just not that hungry, but since you bought it, I’ll have a couple of bites…”
Qin Man imdiately bead, “That’s good, as long as you’re not mad at your aunt. Let’s go down and eat a little before coming back up to rest. It’s still early for dinner anyway.”
Saying this, she took Qin Yingjun’s hand and led him downstairs.
Qin Yingjun walked alongside Qin Man with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, “Auntie, I can probably only eat a little bit, I’m really not hungry…”
“Even a little is good, I had that cake specially made with donkey-hide gelatin and ginseng. They’re good things, just what you need! Eat a little, and the rest, I’ll send to the hospital for your uncle to eat later.” Qin Man cheerfully patted the back of Qin Yingjun’s hand.
Hearing that she would also send so to Wen Renting, Qin Yingjun felt a bit more at ease.
He went downstairs with Qin Man to the dining room.
Ou Lan happened to be there too.
Qin Yongfu was at the company, not ho today.
Upon seeing Qin Man and Qin Yingjun arrive, Ou Lan, who was unpacking the cake box, smiled and said, “Yingjun is still closest to his aunt; the mont she called him, he ca right down. If it were , I’d have a tough ti inviting this ancestor down.”
This was a complint to Qin Man.
Qin Man smiled broadly, “Of course, we’re blood relatives, after all. In the future, Yingjun will be the one to take care of and see off.”
Ou Lan smiled but didn’t say anything, just as she finished opening the cake box, she said, “Co eat so cake.”
Seeing this, Qin Man walked over and said, “Let cut it, sister-in-law. You go rest on the side.”
Ou Lan handed the knife in her hand to Qin Man.
As Qin Man cut, she said, “This cake is for our Yingjun, sister-in-law, you’re not allowed to sneak any bites.”
Ou Lan chuckled, “Don’t worry, I won’t eat any, I’ll watch you all eat.”
But Qin Man said, “I won’t eat either. This is for Yingjun and Renting, to give them a little boost.”
With that, she cut a large piece, placed it on a plate, and handed it to Qin Yingjun.
Qin Yingjun hadn’t reacted yet when he found a large piece of cake in front of him. Seeing that the piece took up nearly half of the entire cake, he felt a bit overwheld, “Auntie, this is too much, I can’t finish it…”
But Qin Man nudged the plate closer to him, “How can you not finish it? It’s just a small piece of cake. Right now, your body is weak, so you need to nourish it well. Eat more; it’s no big deal.”
