Chapter 342: "I like days like this." (3)
“What I wanted to say was……”
“What is it?”
“I’ll focus on learning how to cook when I don’t have any competitions going on.”
After she had made it through the competition last time, Su Ran had successfully received the letter of recommendation for the upcoming International Piano competition.
Luckily, the competition was not for another six months, and Su Ran would have plenty of time to get ready.
It so happened that for the time being, with the exception of some creations for herself, and providing some new songs to Yu LeLe's Studio, Su Ran did not have too much on her plate.
“I do not object to that if it’s your hobby,” said Lu Shao. Pausing a little, he added, “If not, you really don’t need to force yourself to do that.”
“We can hire an aunty for our place in the future. If I am home and have time, I can cook. If I don’t have time, we can have the aunty take care of that.”
Lu Shao had spent a lot of time thinking about his marriage with Su Ran. As such, he had also thought a lot about life after they had been married.
Even though Su Han was still a little resentful about life with Lu Shao but, upon hearing what he had just said, Su Han saw eye to eye with him for a change.
“I feel the same way. You don’t need to specifically learn to cook.” Su Han look up and agreed with Lu Shao.
Except the next thing out of him was……
“It’s not like you have talent in this area or anything.” Su Han grumbled in a low voice.
As though realizing that he had been too blunt, Su Han quickly lowered his head and took a few large mouthfuls of rice after he had said that.
Su Ran: Hoho, a kind mother shall not beat her child.
After dinner, when both the father and son quickly stood up and started to clean up, Su Ran quickly stopped them.
“No, it’s fine. Let me,” said Su Ran.
Lu Shao had already cooked; she couldn’t possibly let him clean up as well.
Looking at the insistence on Su Ran, a hint of smile crossed Lu Shao’s eyes. He did not continue fighting over “the job” with Su Ran.
He merely said, “Let me at least bring the dishes into the kitchen.”
Having said that, he glanced over at Su Han and said, “Help out.”
“I know! You didn’t need to stress that!” said Su Han to Lu Shao unhappily while giving him an unhappy glare.
For the first time, he had experienced what it was like to have his position at home challenged.
“No need. Hurry back to your homework, Su Han!” said Su Ran very solemnly.
For the first time ever, Su Ran experienced the anxiety that other parents in the parents’ chatgroup had talked about.
She too now wanted to talk to the teachers to lessen the student’s workload. What should she do?
“Ahem……” Lu Shao snickered when he heard that.
He gave Su Han a nonchalant Even-I-Can’t-Help-You-With-That look.
Looking at the unhappy look on Su Han, Lu Shao’s lips curved upward as he collected the plates on the table while also grabbing those ones in Su Ran’s hands.
Lu Shao walked inside of the kitchen, where Su Ran was doing dishes, after he had clean up the table.
“You can just leave the rag on top of the counter,” said Su Ran when she heard the footsteps.
Upon hearing that, Lu Shao walked over, walked behind Su Ran, and placed the rag on top of the counter.
Lu Shao, however, did not take off right away after that. Inside the kitchen that was less than 3 square meters in area, he stood less than a meter behind Su Ran and looked at the woman in front of him quietly. There was a tender smile on him.
Feeling Lu Shao standing behind her, Su Ran’s hands paused all of a sudden. Her back stiffened all of a sudden and she sudden felt a pang of inexplicable panic.
The kitchen is quite crowded, perhaps Mr. Lu should go and watch some television.
No wait. She didn’t have a television at home.
Okay, if not the television, then he could at least fiddle on his cellphone!
