Rules of Engagement

"It's okay. It's just some simple work," Soren replied with a smile.

Seeing that they were all daughter's underwear, Blanche didn't say anything more. She had to let him do it. Soren finished and came back to the living room soon. Smelling the taste of the loquat sugar soup, he sniffed and said, "It smells good."

"I heard that Elsa coughed, so I cooked some. This is warm nutritious food. You can have some it if you like, Ren."

After saying that, Blanche went out.

Both Elsa and Soren had a large bowl of soup, which was cool and refreshing. It was also good for relieving thirst and summer heat.

"It's so good to have mom around," Soren said with a smile.

Elsa nodded. Soren continued, "Elsa, dad asked us to have dinner together. I thought the two families would always meet, so I agreed."

"Really?" At the thought of the Wang clan, Elsa felt a little restrained. She was really worried that the situation would be awkward and everyone would be unhappy. But after all, it was Soren's father's side. As he said, they would meet sooner or later. She nodded and pretended to be relaxed, "Okay. When?"

"I'm not sure. I mean it depends on your physical condition. I have to wait for you to fully recovered before we talk about that. " Then he reached out and held her hand, but it was still cold. Due to the infusion, there were marks and large bruises on the back of her hand. Soren gave her a gentle massage.

It hurt so much that she withdrew her hand. Soren took her hand back again and said, "Uncle Xu said if it still hurt, it means that you haven't recovered from your cold."

"I'm almost recovered, but my body is a little sore," Elsa sniffed and said in a nasal tone.

"Listen to me. Be a good girl and have a rest at home tomorrow. When you are fully recovered, I'll arrange the dinner. " Soren touched her hair, but the two didn't say anything for a while. After a while, Soren suddenly said, "Don't worry, Elsa. I won't embarrass everyone."

Elsa understood what he meant. He had a grudge against the Wang clan for a long time, and every time he got along with them, he was embarrassed. He was making sure that he wouldn't make things worse this time. She knew that it was to make her parents not worry about her and understand his kindness. In fact, what she hoped more was that he could let go of the previous knot in his heart. No matter what it was, it had been a long time ago. Now Fred and Susie were living a good life with their own belonging. She didn't want him to bear too much burden for the elders all the time.

She always felt guilty to her son-in-law, so she specially made braised pork ribs and spicy chicken for him, keeping serving food for him. Soren always had meals cooked by his hired help at home.
