I opened a breakfast shop while raising my child, and the school beauty begged me not to sell it any

Chapter 34 Almost Caused Trouble

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Chen Yuan put down his chopsticks and slowly spoke.

"I was planning to tell you this today, but I didn't expect Su Qingxue to say it for me."

"I quit my previous job and now I run a breakfast shop, selling steamed buns, soy milk, and the like."

Chen Da frowned, his expression growing increasingly serious. Su Qingxue, standing beside him, felt her heart pounding in her chest, her beautiful eyes fixed on Teacher Chen, afraid he would get angry.

At the same time, she kept blaming herself in her heart.

She was also afraid that this matter would cause Chen Yuan to have a problem with her.

After a while, Su Qingxue became so anxious that her eyes turned red.

Just then, Chen Yuan placed his hand under the table, gently waved it at Su Qingxue, and gestured with his eyes, indicating, "It's alright."

Su Qingxue then calmed down.

Chen Da took a sip of wine, sighed, and said.

"Forget it, opening a breakfast shop is a good idea. It's better than your previous job, where you were out early and back late all day and couldn't take care of your family."

Wang Xiulan, who was standing to the side, also snapped out of her shock and nodded.

While speaking in a very relaxed tone, he was leisurely peeling a shrimp in his hand.

"That's right, the job market is tough right now, isn't it normal for young people to change jobs? It's okay, Mom supports you."

Su Qingxue originally thought...

Chen Yuan is sure to get scolded for saying the wrong thing this time.

But to everyone's surprise, the two elderly people accepted the matter so easily.

Not only did they not say anything to Chen Yuan, they also comforted him.

Su Qingxue fell in love with this family atmosphere at first sight.

Just then, Wang Xiulan placed the shrimp she was holding into Chen Youyou's bowl. Then she continued speaking.

"If you and Lin Wei don't have time to look after the child, just send the child to me. I'll take care of him/her. Anyway, there's not much work at my cotton mill now, and I'm semi-retired."

"Since I'm just sitting at home doing nothing anyway, I can help you take care of the kids and lighten your load."

Chen Yuan said, "Thank you, Mom, but I still think it's better for me to take care of the child myself. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I can't bear to part with him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Youyou forgot all about her meal and immediately jumped off the stool, throwing herself into Chen Yuan's arms and clinging tightly to his leg.

"I don't want to be separated from my dad, I want to stay with him!"

This moved Chen Yuan deeply.

He suddenly picked Chen Youyou up and placed her on his lap.

"Don't worry, Daddy won't be separated from Youyou."

The father and daughter cuddled together for a while.

Then they started eating lunch.

After lunch, Su Qingxue sat for a while before taking her leave.

Chen Da stood up and said to Chen Yuan, who was standing to the side.

"Go and see them off."

Chen Yuan responded and left with Su Qingxue.

As soon as the two left, Wang Xiulan couldn't wait to speak to Chen Da, who was standing to the side.

"Old man, don't you think there's something off about those two?"

"What's wrong? Are you overthinking things again?"

"Don't overthink it. Don't you feel that the way they look at each other, the way they talk, the way they act, there's just something off about them?"

It would have been better if Wang Xiulan hadn't brought it up, because once she did, Chen Da also felt something was off.

His radar, which had been used for years to catch young couples on campus, suddenly went off, and he said with great vigilance.

"Now that you mention it, it's really true..."

"Right? I'm not wrong, am I?"

Afraid that Chen Youyou would hear, Wang Xiulan pulled Chen Da into the yard, and the two of them spoke in hushed tones while watering the flowers.

"Hiss... there's something off about the way Xiao Su looks at our son, she's so affectionate."

"Don't tell me Su Qingxue has taken a liking to our son?"

Chen Dayuan wanted to say no, but after his wife reminded him, he couldn't be sure and instead asked her a question.

"Is that unlikely? Xiao Su doesn't seem like the type to interfere in other people's relationships. She must know that Chen Yuan is already married."

At this moment, Wang Xiulan suddenly thought of something else.

She was horrified.

"Do you think it's possible that Lin Wei isn't coming back this time because of Xiao Su?"

"Lin Wei is a woman after all. Maybe she senses something's not quite right between the two of them. Did you see those marks on your son's neck? They're obviously from his wife!"

Wang Xiulan became increasingly alarmed, and she couldn't even hold the watering can steady in her hand, which fell to the ground with a "plop".

"Old man, did Chen Yuan and Lin Wei get into a fight?"

Chen Da frowned, but after calmly analyzing the situation, he shook his head.

"Don't make wild guesses. Don't you know Lin Wei's temper? If Chen Yuanzhen and Xiao Su had something going on, she would definitely call us and make a scene."

"This has happened before."

Chen Yuan is tall and handsome, which has always been a source of pride for the elderly couple.

But since getting married, this matter has become a burden. Lin Wei is extremely jealous. If Chen Yuan sends a few messages to a female colleague, she can cry and make a scene for days.

Moreover, he not only made a scene in front of Chen Yuan, but also came to make a scene with the two of them.

This annoyed the elderly couple greatly.

After Chen Da finished speaking, Wang Xiulan finally felt relieved.

"Yes, yes, that shouldn't be possible."

At this moment, Chen Da spoke again.

"But don't get too excited yet. When Chen Yuan comes back later, you, as his mother, can talk to him about this alone. It's easier for you to bring it up than for me."

Wang Xiulan agreed.

At this moment, Chen Yuan had already escorted Su Qingxue to the subway entrance.

Su Qingxue apologized somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry, senior brother."

"I didn't know you hadn't told Teacher Chen about this. Luckily, they're both quite understanding. Otherwise, if you had gotten scolded because of me today, I would definitely have been upset."

"It's alright, don't blame yourself," Chen Yuan said.

Seeing that Su Qingxue still seemed a little unenthusiastic, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for her, so he changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, I'm going to fry dough sticks tomorrow."

"Remember to come early."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingxue's face immediately lit up with a dazzling radiance.

"Really? We get to eat fried dough sticks! I haven't had them in ages. Fried dough sticks with soy milk, that's a match made in heaven!"

"Then come early."

"Okay, thank you, senior brother. I'll be going now."

"Message me when you get home."

"Okay~"

Su Qingxue got off the subway, looking back every few steps.

I watched as the beautiful figure disappeared from my sight.

For some reason, Chen Yuan suddenly felt a sense of loss...
