Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 138 Awkward Dinner

He Yuzhu carried a bottle of white wine in one hand and held Liu Xiuxiu's hand in the other, and the two came to Xu Damao's house together. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e busy preparing dinner, and the house was filled with a warm atmosphere.

He Yuzhu smiled and said hello to Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe, then pulled Liu Xiuxiu to Lou Xiaoe's side and asked them to chat. He then turned and walked to the kitchen to help Xu Damao cook.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Liu Xiuxiu's gentle face, and noticed her slightly bulging belly, and suddenly a complex emotion surged in her heart. She suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to invite them to dinner, and felt that this meal might not be as delicious as expected.

However, her good manners told her not to lose her composure in front of outsiders. So, she tried to adjust her mood, forced a smile and found topics to talk about with Liu Xiuxiu about something light and pleasant. However, the conversation between the two seemed a little awkward and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

Liu Xiuxiu also felt this awkward atmosphere. She used to be able to chat with Lou Xiaoe quite well, but since she became pregnant, she felt that the atmosphere between them had changed. She couldn't explain the specific reason.

He Yuzhu was busy in the kitchen, occasionally poking his head out to greet the two, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. But the conversation between Lou Xiaoe and Liu Xiuxiu never became smooth.

Just when the atmosphere was about to become more awkward, Xu Damao came out of the kitchen carrying a few dishes. He saw that the atmosphere was not right and immediately understood something. He smiled and invited everyone to the table to eat, trying to resolve the awkward atmosphere with delicious food.

Everyone sat around the dining table. Although the atmosphere was still a little awkward, the delicious food on the table was like a warm current that gradually melted the thin layer of ice.

He Yuzhu's cooking skills are indeed well-deserved. The dishes are so delicious and eye-catching that everyone can't help but praise him.

After eating for a while, Liu Xiuxiu felt that her stomach was full and she couldn't eat any more. She looked at the other people at the table who were still eating heartily. Although she felt a little anxious, she was too embarrassed to stand up and leave. So she could only force herself to smile, sometimes lowering her head to play with her chopsticks, and sometimes looking up to chat with everyone.

Xu Damao had been paying attention to everyone at the table, especially Liu Xiuxiu. He was secretly delighted to see that she had finished eating in advance, as this was exactly what he wanted.

So, he put down his chopsticks and said to He Yuzhu: "Silly Zhu, my sister-in-law has almost finished her meal. Why don't you send her back to rest first? Then come over. I want to get drunk with you today."

He Yuzhu heard this and looked up at Liu Xiuxiu, and found that she was indeed a little tired. So he nodded and said to Xu Damao: "Okay, then I will send Xiuxiu back first and come back in a while."

After saying that, he stood up, gently took Liu Xiuxiu's hand, and said softly: "Xiuxiu, you go back and rest first, I'll take you there."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Liu Xiuxiu nodded and followed He Yuzhu to leave the table. Xu Damao looked at their backs with a smug smile on his face, as if he had seen what was going to happen next.

After He Yuzhu sent Liu Xiuxiu back, Xu Damao took a look at Lou Xiao'e who was eating by herself nearby. As if he had made up his mind, he stood up and walked towards the cupboard nearby. As he walked, he paid attention to Lou Xiao'e's reaction to make sure she didn't notice his little move.

At the cupboard, Xu Damao's movements were extremely careful. He opened the bottle of special "ingredients", gently poured some into the cup, then picked up the kettle and slowly and carefully filled it with water.

He stared at the cup, as if to confirm that everything was fine. After finishing all this, he picked up the cup, took a deep breath, tried to calm his inner tension, and then slowly walked to the dining table.

He stood beside Lou Xiao'e with a smile on his face, and said calmly, "Ezi, drink some water. The food today is a bit salty. Don't choke." Although he said it easily, there was a hint of subtle nervousness in his eyes.

Lou Xiao'e looked up and looked at the cup that Xu Damao handed over. She was indeed a little thirsty, so she reached out to take the cup. Just as she was about to bring the cup to her mouth, Xu Damao suddenly shouted, "Moth!"

Lou Xiao'e paused and looked at Xu Damao in confusion, with an impatient look gradually appearing on her face. She said unhappily, "What's the matter? Can't you wait until I finish drinking the water?"

Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e's expression, and the last bit of pity in his heart disappeared. He smiled casually and said, "I want to say, drink slowly, be careful not to burn yourself."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "I don't need you to tell me that. I'm not stupid." After that, she ignored Xu Damao, brought the cup to her mouth, and drank it all. After drinking the water, she put down the cup and continued to eat, seemingly not noticing anything unusual.

However, Xu Damao was nervously observing Lou Xiao'e's reaction. He was slightly relieved when he saw that she was not abnormal.
