Chapter 391: Mid-Autumn Festival
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mrs Chu and the others were talking about the embarrassing matter of Mr Chu and the other two in the kitchen, making the three men outside feel a chill run down their spines, as if something bad had happened.
They raised their heads vigilantly and looked around, but they did not find the source of this ominous feeling.
The three of them looked at each other and temporarily put this matter to the back of their minds.
As for the three people in the kitchen, they were talking about the gossip and embarrassing matters of the three people outside. Time passed especially quickly. The food had already been prepared, but Gu Xiao still felt a little restless.
Mrs Chu seemed to have read Gu Xiao’s mind. She reached out and patted Gu Xiao’s arm.

Having her thoughts seen through by Mrs Chu, coupled with the fact that she was listening to the gossip and embarrassing matters of the elders, Gu Xiao felt a little embarrassed.
“This, isn’t this inappropriate? Can I listen?” Gu Xiao said hesitantly.
“What’s there that can’t be heard? It’s not a big deal anyway,” Mrs Chu said nonchalantly.
Sister-in-law Chu held Gu Xiao’s hand, and her eyes flashed. “I want to hear it too! Don’t worry, even if Dad and the rest know, they won’t dare to say anything.”
Seeing that Mrs Chu and Sister-in-law Chu didn’t seem to care at all, Gu Xiao thought about how Mr Chu looked in front of Mrs Chu, how Chu Zi looked in front of Sister-in-law Chu, and her thoughts finally stopped at how Chu An usually looked.
Her eyes flashed and she said tentatively, “Then let’s find a time to continue later?”
Mrs Chu was the first to nod. “We can also find some snacks and talk while eating!”
With Mrs Chu’s strong support, this matter was completely decided.
After the food was completely ready, Mrs Chu and the other two washed their hands and handed the rest to the servants before leaving the kitchen.
Then, Mr Chu and the other two discovered that after this cooking experience, the relationship between Mrs Chu and the other two seemed to have become closer.
In the past, although the three of them were relatively close, there was still some distance between them. But now, the last bit of distance between the three of them seemed to have disappeared, and the three of them became even closer.
Mr Chu and the other two, who were left outside and had no idea what was going on, looked at each other. Then, they retracted their gazes when Mrs Chu said, “It’s time to eat.”
Gu Xiao looked at Chu An and the other two, who were walking towards the dining table. She thought of what Mrs Chu had just said about Mr Chu’s embarrassing incidents and the “happy” things between Chu Zi and Chu An when they were young, and Gu Xiao’s eyes once again carried an uncontrollable smile.
Chu An saw Gu Xiao’s expression and stopped in his tracks. He kept feeling that something bad that had exceeded his expectations had happened.
His probing gaze landed on Gu Xiao. He planned to find a way to test Gu Xiao later and see if he could find out from her what had happened in the kitchen during this period of time.

The weather was very good that day. There were stars hanging in the sky, which numbered much more than the nights in the capital in the past. The moon also looked big and round in the clear sky, and the moonlight was bright.
Gu Xiao and the others admired the moon and ate the mooncakes that Gu Xiao had brought back. They chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very comfortable.
Gu Xiao looked at the person beside her and then at the moon hanging in the sky. The smile in her eyes deepened.
This Mid-Autumn Festival was really not bad.
Chu An glanced at Gu Xiao’s expression. Using the cover of the night, he grabbed Gu Xiao’s hand under the noses of Mr Chu, Mrs Chu, and the others, and even kneaded it gently.
Gu Xiao looked back at Chu An and laughed, allowing Chu An to do as he pleased.
While the Chu family was enjoying and admiring the moon, the atmosphere on Jiang He’s side was not very warm.
Ji Chen had a cold personality to begin with, and he did not have much interaction with Jiang He in the past. On account that Jiang He was his mother, he was willing to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Jiang He. However, if he were to be asked to find a harmonious topic, it would be a little difficult for him.
After all, even in front of Gu Xiao, Ji Chen was always serious and he would noy laugh much either.
Jiang He looked at Ji Chen hesitantly for a while and said tentatively, “The moon outside is not bad today.. Shall we go out and admire the moon?”
