I Become A Burdensome Child After Transmigrating Chapter 451 - Her Heart Skipped A Beat

Chapter 451: Her Heart Skipped A Beat

Sheng Tianci was seriously chopping a piece of winter melon. His movements were so practiced that they surprised her.
As if sensing her gaze, he turned his head and met her gaze. Then, he boyishly smiled at her.
Song Wanqiu’s ears warmed as she hurriedly looked away and continued cooking the dumplings.
When she saw that the dumplings had been cooked, she immediately retrieved a plate to put them in. In her rush, the hot water that splashed out of the pot scalded her, and she sucked in a deep breath.
Sheng Tianci immediately looked at her when he heard the noise. He saw that the back of her hand had been scalded, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes. “You got scalded? Are you okay? Hurry up and soak your hand in cold water.”
He took the plate from her and even turned on the tap for her.
Song Wanqiu put her hands under the cold water and washed them. Soon, the pain died down, and she felt a little awkward. “Sorry, I was too careless.”
“Don’t say that. It’s quite normal. Back when I was learning how to cook, I got scalded countless times too. I don’t have much talent in cooking, and I learned a little only after being scalded many times.” Sheng Tianci comforted her and said, “I’ll do it. You can go out and wait.”
“How can I let you do it? You’re a guest, how can I let a guest prepare dinner?”
Sheng Tianci casually said, “If you don’t treat me as a guest, then it won’t matter, will it?”
When he said that, Song Wanqiu realized that he had gone overboard. Her expression shifted.
Immediately, both of them felt embarrassed. Song Wanqiu didn’t know how to answer, but her heart skipped a beat.
“Er, what I mean is, if you don’t treat me as a guest, you can treat me as an assistant,” Sheng Tianci explained with a dry smile. “So, leave this to me. I’ll do it.”
Song Wanqiu still felt a little apologetic. At this moment, Su Jiu ran into the kitchen and held her hand. She said slyly, “Auntie, let Uncle Sheng cook. I haven’t eaten Uncle Sheng’s cooking before.”
Sheng Tianci instantly got excited. He reached out and touched her little nose. “I guarantee that after you eat my dishes, you won’t like your father’s dishes anymore.”
Su Shengjing happened to hear this when he came in. As if he were really worried that he would lose to Sheng Tianci, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and eagerly said to Su Jiu, “Baby, what do you want to eat? Daddy will make it for you.”
Sheng Tianci also said warmly, “That’s right, Little Jiu. If you want to eat anything, just tell me. I’ll definitely cook it better than your father.”
“Ha.” Su Shengjing gave him a disdainful look.
Like this, the two men heckled each other in the kitchen for a long time. Then, under the little girl’s persuasion, they prepared the reunion dinner together.
Song Wanqiu was dragged out of the kitchen by Su Jiu. She turned to look at the two busy people in the kitchen and then at the little girl beside her. An indescribable feeling surged in her heart.
Ever since she had divorced Rong Cheng, it had been a long time since her family had such a lively atmosphere during the new year.
About an hour later, a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner was served.
Sheng Tianci even opened a bottle of wine and poured half a glass for Su Shengjing and Song Wanqiu. “I can’t stay here for too long. I have to go back later. Otherwise, the old man and the old woman will be angry at me.”
Su Shengjing raised his eyebrows. “Then why aren’t you leaving?”
“Hey! I worked so hard to cook this meal. Can’t I eat a few bites before I leave? Besides, I came here just to see Little Jiu and you.”
