Chapter 508 Shen Qing tells her parents about getting married
After the discussion.
Mother Liu said, "I'm going to cook, you guys chat first."
With that, Liu's mother walked towards the kitchen.
After a moment, Shen Qing stood up and looked at Liu Ye, "I'll go over and help."
"Ok!"
Shen Qing also walked towards the kitchen.
The kitchen was filled with a faint smell of cooking fumes. Liu Ye's mother was busy at the stove, stirring the iron pot with a spatula, making a sizzling sound. Shen Qing quietly looked up at Liu Ye's mother. She was slightly plump, wearing a floral apron, her hair casually tied back, and a gentle smile on her face.
"Auntie, let me help you." Shen Qing said softly, with a hint of temptation in her voice.
Liu Ye's mother turned around and looked at her with a smile: "Oh, no, no, you are a guest, how can I let you do that?
Shen Qing pursed her lips, feeling a little uneasy. She knew Liu Ye's mother was being polite, but she didn't want to seem like an outsider. She gently walked over to Liu Ye's mother, picked up a kitchen knife nearby, and began to chop vegetables. The blade made a rhythmic "dong dong" sound as it landed on the chopping board.
"Auntie, I like to do this usually. I'll help you today." Shen Qing said.
Liu Ye's mother was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Oh, you are really sensible child. Okay, come and help Auntie cut the vegetables, I'll go check on the soup in the pot."
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and her hands moved more swiftly. She lowered her head and focused on chopping celery. While her knife skills weren't particularly skilled, they were certainly deft. Liu Ye's mother occasionally glanced back at her, a hint of approval in her eyes.
"Xiao Qing, how long have you known Liu Ye?" Liu Ye's mother asked casually while stirring the soup in the pot.
Shen Qing paused for a moment with the knife in her hand, then continued cutting vegetables: "We've known each other since we were in school, Auntie."
"Oh, that's not short." Liu Ye's mother smiled. "Liu Ye is a quiet kid. When you two are together, does he bully you?"
Shen Qing couldn't help laughing: "No, Auntie, he treats me very well."
Liu Ye's mother nodded, with a look of relief in her eyes: "That's good, that's good. Liu Ye has been a bit introverted since he was a child and not very good at expressing himself, but he has a kind heart and is down-to-earth. I'm relieved that you two are together."
Shen Qing listened, feeling warm inside. She looked up at Liu Ye's mother and noticed some fine lines around her eyes, but her gaze was exceptionally gentle. She suddenly felt the atmosphere in the kitchen become much more relaxed, as if the distance between her and Liu Ye's mother had narrowed considerably.
"Auntie, the soup you made is so delicious." Shen Qing said with a smile. The celery in her hand had been cut and neatly arranged on the plate.
Liu Ye's mother looked back at her with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Of course, this is our family's secret recipe. Try it later, I guarantee you'll like it."
Shen Qing smiled and nodded, but she felt a little excited. She knew that this was not just a meal, but also her first official contact with Liu Ye's family. She hoped that she could leave a good impression on them and truly integrate into this family.
The atmosphere in the kitchen became increasingly harmonious. Shen Qing and Liu Ye's mother chatted while busying themselves, and occasionally bursts of laughter could be heard. Liu Ye stood at the kitchen door, watching this scene, his lips curled up slightly. He knew that Shen Qing had successfully won his mother's favor, and his feelings for her were even more firm.
After cooking, she helped Liu's mother bring the dishes to the table.
The family sat together, laughing and talking. Mother Liu kept putting food into Shen Qing's bowl, muttering, "Eat more, try Auntie's cooking." Shen Qing felt warm inside, and her nervousness gradually dissipated.
Then Liu's mother served Shen Qing a bowl of soup made with a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation, "Qingqing, try it!"
"Okay, thank you auntie."
Shen Qing picked up the spoon and took a sip. "Hmm~ Auntie, it tastes very good. I want to learn from you when I have time."
"Yeah, auntie will teach you whenever you want."
"it is good."
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room and chatted. Liu Ye shared his life outside with his parents, and his parents listened attentively, their eyes full of concern. Watching this scene, Shen Qing was deeply moved. She knew that Liu Ye had not been able to spend time with his parents like this for a long time because of his work.
Time passed quietly in the warm atmosphere, and the sky gradually darkened. Shen Qing gently touched Liu Ye and whispered, "I want to go back."
"Okay." Liu Ye agreed.
Shen Qing smiled, her eyes gentle but firm. "You and your parents haven't seen each other for a long time, so you must have a lot to say. You might feel a little restrained with me here. Besides, I also want to give you more time to spend together."
Liu Ye wanted to keep her, but Shen Qing had already stood up and walked up to Liu Ye's parents, saying politely, "Uncle and aunt, I'm really happy to see you today. I'll be leaving now, so you can enjoy your time together." Liu's mother was a little reluctant: "Hey, kid, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Shen Qing smiled and replied, "Auntie, I'll come to see you next time."
Liu Ye reluctantly sent Shen Qing out. Under the streetlight, Shen Qing's smile was particularly gentle: "Go back quickly and spend time with your uncle and aunt.
Liu Ye hugged Shen Qing tightly: "Thank you, dear, you are always so considerate."
Shen Qing patted his back gently: "Go quickly, don't keep your uncle and aunt waiting for too long."
"Okay. See you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Shen Qing nodded.
Shen Qing returned home.
I just wanted to call my parents and tell them about my marriage.
Shen Qing took a deep breath, slowly picked up her phone, and dialed home. Her mother's familiar voice soon came from the other end of the line, "Qingqing, how have you been lately? Is the child okay?"
Shen Qing held the phone, her fingers unconsciously tightening. After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "Mom, I...I have something to tell you and Dad."
She was afraid that if she suddenly told her parents about her marriage, they would be a little surprised, so she was a little hesitant to say it.
Her mother seemed to notice something was wrong with her, and her voice was filled with worry: "What's wrong, girl? What happened?"
Shen Qing bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say, "Mom, I'm in love."
There was silence on the other end of the line, and then my mother's voice came, with a hint of surprise and confusion: "Are you in love? What kind of person is he?"
Shen Qing took a deep breath and said, "He... he's Liu Ye." Her mother, apparently unresponsive, pressed on, "Liu Ye? Which Liu Ye?"
Shen Qing frowned slightly and explained, "It's that doctor Liu Ye, the one who performed surgery on my dad."
"Oh, it's Xiao Liu! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" said Wang Yaju on the phone.
She had a good impression of Liu Ye before, so she had no objection to hearing the news.
Shen Qing continued, "Mom, we're serious. After spending some time together, I feel he's a very nice guy. He takes good care of me and the kids. And we've already discussed it and plan to get married."
The mother on the other end of the phone was anxious: "Qingqing, don't be impulsive! You just got divorced and you have a child. Do you want to spend some time together and think about it carefully?
