Chapter 509: Chapter 385: A Beautiful Fairy Tale for the Children (Revised)

Su Xiaomeng didn’t roast a turkey leg like the British to celebrate this Christmas.

Instead, she made a table full of hearty homemade dishes. Claire and Lily had become quite proficient at making Chinese food, but Xiao Meng hadn’t cooked for the three of them in a long time.

For this rare holiday, Xiao Meng spent the whole night cooking up this feast.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were eating with their mouths full of oil.

Su Xiaomeng took a bottle of Château Lafite from the wine cabinet and opened it for Yin Shixiu.

"I’ll have a small glass with you."

Yin Shixiu chuckled, "You can only have a small glass."

Su Xiaomeng sat next to him, with the two children beside her, so she could take care of them easily.

"L’amorEternel... This wine actually has such a nice meaning, you never told me."

Su Xiaomeng said casually after pouring the wine.

Yin Shixiu raised an eyebrow, "You can understand French now?"

They had shared this wine many times before, but she had never seemed to pay attention to the French phrase.

"I’m not that good; I was at a Western restaurant with Cherry before, and she told me that L’amorEternel... means eternal love..."

Saying this, Su Xiaomeng raised her glass to Yin Shixiu,

"To you, L’amorEternel..."

Yin Shixiu clinked her glass and kissed her cheek.

He knew the phrase in French but never paid it much heed. Wine was just wine; its quality depended on the raw materials, production location, manufacturer, storage method, and so on...

Wine didn’t represent any meaning.

Yin Shixiu thought this way; the last person to earnestly tell him that "L’amorEternel" represented eternal love was Eric.

Someone born in a Western society, yet without the unrestrained freedom of it.

At his core, he was quite traditional.

He was an idealist and often had differing views from Yin Shixiu, a materialist.

But finding common ground, they became close friends by chance.

He eloquently talked about the tragic love story used as a marketing gimmick behind this bottle of red wine.

"L’amorEternel... the pursuit of so many people in this life..."

Eric’s original words, which Yin Shixiu mocked for quite a while.

After all, Eric was only eighteen or nineteen then, both of them were rash young men.

Xiao Meng sipped some wine, and just when she put the glass down, Shuangshuang stood up from her high chair and leaned towards Xiao Meng, wanting to taste the red wine too.

But the little girl didn’t say it outright and just pointed to the glass asking Su Xiaomeng,

"Mom, what’s that?"

"Uh... red wine."

"Is it good?"

Shuangshuang asked seriously with her big blinking eyes.

As a mother who knows her daughter well, Su Xiaomeng could tell what thoughts were on her mind from just the casual question about the wine!

Su Xiaomeng shook her head with disgust,

"Not good, it’s particularly bad."

Shuangshuang raised her delicate eyebrows, full of curiosity yet hesitant to try...

Just when Xiao Meng thought she had lost interest in the red wine, Shuangshuang suddenly said,

"Mom, I want to try it..."

"Shuang’er, it’s not tasty."

"Well... I want to see what yucky tastes like..."

"..." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Su Xiaomeng quickly looked at Yin Shixiu, and Yin Shixiu chuckled, placing Shuangshuang on his lap. He used chopsticks to dip a bit of wine and brought it to Shuangshuang’s mouth...

Shuangshuang tasted it, but possibly didn’t get the taste at first; after contemplating it for a moment, her little face crumpled in distaste!

She pulled her neck back...

Su Xiaomeng couldn’t describe Shuangshuang’s reaction, it was as if she had been shocked... quite comical.

"I told you it’s not good, but you insisted on trying. Little foodie, huh?"

"Good, tasty!"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng was stunned, looking at Shuangshuang again, her wrinkled features had relaxed and she was beaming, looking quite content.

Yin Shixiu was laughing uncontrollably, even using chopsticks to give her another taste.

Shuangshuang had the same comical reaction again.

After two or three times, just a tiny taste wasn’t enough for Shuangshuang anymore, the little girl reached out to grab Yin Shixiu’s wine glass...

"Hey! Shuang’er, you can’t drink more!"

"Mom, it’s tasty!"

Shuangshuang looked at Su Xiaomeng seriously, not quite understanding why something so delicious was said to be bad by her mom...

Su Xiaomeng quickly glared at Yin Shixiu,

"Stop giving her more, girls shouldn’t be drinking!"

But Yin Shixiu laughed,

"Girls should have a bit of tolerance for alcohol. Shuang’er should start building it early, or else it’ll be awkward if she can’t hold her liquor like you."

"...What do you mean by that?"

"Alright, alright, I know the limits."

Yin Shixiu quickly reassured.

Su Xiaomeng wanted to say something more, but seeing the father and daughter duet ignoring her presence, she huffed and didn’t bother with them anymore.
