Chapter 171 Parental Love
Seeing how happily she was eating, Su Qingxue smiled and pointed to the cream next to her.
"This cream smells delicious too, would you like some?"
"want!"
Cream was smeared on my lips.
Chen Youyou said with a happy expression.
"It's so delicious! It's so soft and fluffy, like a cloud!"
After taking a few bites, she fed Chen Yuan a bite as well.
obviously.
The two children have different tastes.
Chen Youyou loves sweets, while Su Yuanrui, after taking a few bites of strawberry pancakes, started eating toast and poached eggs.
The poached egg was poked, and the golden yolk flowed onto the toast, making my mouth full.
Su Qingxue has never been idle.
They would wipe this person's mouth and that person's hands from time to time, and they even added extra milk to Chen Yuan's oatmeal porridge.
If someone who didn't know the situation saw them, they would think they were a family of four.
Chen Yuan has a Chinese palate; apart from toast and oatmeal, he really can't get used to eating other things.
Seeing that he hadn't eaten much, Su Qingxue asked him.
"You don't seem to be eating as much as usual. Is it because these foods aren't to your liking?"
"It's alright. We rarely eat this kind of Western breakfast at home, so it's a little unusual. But the taste is quite good, especially the bacon, which is baked to a nice crisp."
Hearing Chen Yuan say this, Su Qingxue became happy.
"I was just thinking that you usually eat at the shop, like steamed buns and wontons. If we order Chinese breakfast here, it definitely won't taste as good as what you make."
"So I thought I'd just order some Western-style breakfast and give these two little ones a change of pace."
Chen Yuan swallowed a bite of crispy toast.
"You're so thoughtful, it's so good to have you around."
As he spoke, Chen Yuan freed one hand and took Su Qingxue's hand from under the table. Su Qingxue's ears turned red, and she glared at him, but did not let go.
At that moment, the air was filled with a sweet smell.
After finishing breakfast.
After the two little ones had eaten and drunk their fill, they insisted on going to the rooftop garden of the hotel to feed the pigeons and ride the little train.
Chen Yuan had just put down the napkin and was about to get up to get his coat when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.
"My mom?"
Chen Yuan's heart tightened.
He deliberately didn't tell his parents about being beaten, for fear that they would worry about him.
Could it be that things have really been exposed?
He pointed to the phone screen at Su Qingxue, who immediately told the two children to go wash their hands and send them away.
Chen Yuan took a deep breath and answered the phone, trying to make his voice sound as steady as possible.
"Mom, what's wrong? Why are you calling so early?"
"Xiao Yuan! You, you, you! What happened to your shoulder? And your waist and your belly!"
Wang Xiulan's voice came through the receiver, clearly filled with panic.
"Why didn't you tell me what happened? If someone hadn't shown me that video of you, saying you were beaten up, I wouldn't know anything!"
"What? A fracture? How serious is it? What happened? Why didn't you tell me?!"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded both angry and anxious.
Besides Wang Xiulan's voice, Chen Yuan also heard his father Chen Da's voice coming from a little further away.
"What did he say? Is it serious or not?"
"Ask him where he is, go directly there, and see what's going on!"
Chen Da is still in bed and needs someone to take care of him.
Chen Yuan said there was no way he would let his mother come and take care of him, and he gripped his phone tightly. Although he was anxious, his tone softened a little.
"Mom, don't worry, listen to me first, it's really nothing."
"It was a minor injury, but it's been treated. It was just a soft tissue contusion, and the fracture was very, very minor. The doctor said that a young person my age would be fine after a few days of rest, so it's really nothing serious."
Wang Xiulan's voice came through, tinged with sobs.
"You're talking nonsense! 'Not seriously injured'? You have a fracture and you say it's not seriously injured?! What do you mean by 'seriously injured'? Does it only count as seriously injured if someone gets beaten to death?!"
"Do you know what happened to your dad? His blood pressure spiked the moment he heard that. If it weren't for his back problem, he would have driven to your house by now. What's wrong with you? You—"
Chen Yuan quickly interrupted, his voice gentle but leaving no room for discussion.
"Mom, please don't worry. Dad just had surgery and is still recovering in bed. What will he do if you leave home?"
"Don't worry, everything is arranged here. I'm staying at a hotel with dedicated caregivers, and rehabilitation and physiotherapy are all taken care of. You don't need to worry about anything."
"Listen to me, get some rest, and don't keep rushing here. It's scary to even hear about it."
A rustling sound came through the receiver.
"Give me the phone, I'll talk."
"What did you say? Just lie there and relax."
"Give it to me, give it to me. You've been talking for so long, I'll talk!"
Then came Chen Da's calm yet anxious voice.
"Son, I'm so worried! Are you sure you're alright? Please don't try to tough it out."
"Dad, I'm really fine. You can just focus on taking care of your back. I have professionals here to take care of you. You coming here will only make things worse and won't be of any help."
"You think you're all grown up now? Daring to say we're causing trouble!"
The sound of heavy breathing came from the other side.
Chen Yuan dared not speak, afraid of upsetting his father.
Until Chen Da let out a long sigh of relief.
"Alright, since you put it that way, we won't interfere anymore. You're almost 30, you can definitely handle this yourself. But I want to tell you, don't worry, your mom and I are your strong support. If anything happens, you must tell us, understand?"
"Yes, Dad, don't worry."
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. Just take good care of yourself. Your mom is worried sick about you."
Chen Yuan raised his hand and subconsciously rubbed his head.
The reason he didn't tell his family was firstly because he was afraid they would worry, since the old man's back needed careful care.
Turning over, walking, exercising, etc., Mom definitely can't get away from taking care of these things.
In addition, Chen Yuan knows his parents very well; the elderly couple don't usually watch short videos or similar things.
At most, they'll watch instructional videos for square dancing and various random health and wellness links.
I don't know who tipped them off.
Chen Yuan asked, "Mom, on another note, don't you usually not look at your phone much?"
"How did you and my dad find out? Who told you?"
