Chapter 96 You actually dare to look down on me?!

Zhong Wan and Lin Yan watched the scene unfold quietly.

In this mountain forest that suddenly became both solemn and warm, they were given silent companionship.

Xu Siying closed her eyes, silently processing her emotions, when suddenly she felt a cool and gentle breeze brush against her cheek. Tiny grains of sand brushed against her face, like her father's rough hands, silently comforting her.

Xu Siying was startled, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes with a smile.

She sniffed, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and her emotions calmed down considerably.

She smiled at the two people and the cat, her voice tinged with apology: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Zhong Wan shook her head slightly and said softly, "There's no need to feel embarrassed here."

Lin Yan'an nodded slightly in agreement, "Yes, thank you for being willing to tell us. It is our honor to have the opportunity to listen to their stories."

【Meow! 】

Zhong Suisui nodded quickly in agreement.

Xu Siying smiled, a hint of relief in her eyes.

She turned her head, glanced reluctantly at the small mounds of earth in front of her, and whispered, "Dad, brother, I have to go."

"I'll come see you again next time."

Goodbye, everyone, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters.

A gentle breeze rustled the weeds and shrubs, causing them to sway in the air as if silently bidding them farewell.

The three people and the cat started their return journey, but they hadn't gone far.

Zhong Wan saw Zhong Suisui leaning on Lin Yan'an's shoulder again.

She suddenly felt a little envious.

Sensing her gaze, Zhong Suisui tilted her head, looking at her with a puzzled expression. [Meow?]

Hearing the sound, Lin Yan'an turned his head to look, glanced down at Zhong Suisui on his shoulder, then at Zhong Wan, and asked softly, "Are you tired?"

Xu Siying turned to look at Zhong Wan, a hint of apology flashing in her eyes.

Zhong Wan quickly shook her head: "Not tired."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Siying and said with a smile, "I happen to have some finished products that I've been practicing with recently in the shop. Sister Xu, you can just take them away later."

"Thanks."

Xu Siying thanked him sincerely upon hearing this.

Xu Siying had guessed that the number might be quite large, but she never expected there to be so many.

As soon as they returned to the shop, she was startled by the large suitcase Zhong Wan pulled out: "So many?"

Zhong Wan shrugged, reached out and picked one up, handing it over: "Not many, right?"

"Look, they're all written on little slips of paper so we can carry them with us. We can just put them in our phone cases when we need to."

As she spoke, she flipped through the pages and said with some relief, "Luckily, they're all very conservative."

"For situations like this where safety is the primary concern, it should be fine for you police officers to accompany them, right?"

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Xu Siying smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, it doesn't have any religious meaning, and it won't affect my duty afterwards."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wan immediately felt relieved: "Well, the effects are mostly what they sound like. For example, the word 'protect' and the word 'shield' both primarily refer to protection."

At this point, Zhong Wan sighed softly, "Unfortunately, our current capabilities are limited, and we have produced too few finished products."

"It's okay, it's already very good."

Xu Siying looked down at the contents of the box in front of her, and continued with a smile, "I hope we never have to use them."

"yes."

Zhong Wan wholeheartedly agreed.

After she finished speaking, she calmly directed Lin Yan'an to move the boxes to Xu Siying's car.

After thanking her again, Xu Siying got into the car and left.

Zhong Wan watched her drive away and said with some regret, "I hope it will be useful, but I really don't want it to be used."

After Zhong Wan finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Turning her head to look at the path leading up the mountain, she said softly, "Lin Yan'an, let's go up and visit them more often during holidays and festivals."

Lin Yan'an softly hummed in response, then reached out and ruffled her hair: "Let's go, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

“Hmm,”

Zhong Wan thought for a moment, then looked at him with a smile and said, "What should I do? All of your dishes are delicious, I can't choose."

Lin Yan'an chuckled upon hearing this, her tone tinged with amusement: "Then eat slowly, I'll cook delicious food for you every day from now on."

"Uh-huh."

Zhong Wan nodded happily in agreement, smiling as she reached out and took his arm, nuzzling her head against his shoulder, and said in a joyful voice, "Thank you, honey. I'll have to trouble you more from now on~"

[Meow! And Sui Sui too!]

Zhong Suisui quickly appeared on Lin Yan'an's shoulder, her fluffy head nuzzling his cheek affectionately, making comfortable purring sounds. [Suisui also loves Daddy's cooking!]

Lin Yan'an turned her head and looked at their identical movements, her eyes instantly crinkling with laughter.

He liked this feeling, the feeling of being needed and relied upon by them.

He raised his hand and gently patted Zhong Suisui's head, smiling as he said, "Daddy knows."

"Since we have some time today, how about Daddy makes you the big cake you want later?"

【Meow! Okay!】

Zhong Suisui instantly became more energetic, her sweet voice now carrying a hint of sharpness, and her tail instantly puffed up into a fluffy ball.

Lin Yan'an always keeps her word; she thoughtfully ordered all the necessary items online before cooking.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went back into the kitchen to get busy.

Zhong Wan followed closely behind, peering out from behind the kitchen door frame, and asked curiously, "Do you need my help?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Suisui, who had been lying on the cat tree, jumped up and quickly appeared at the kitchen doorway.

The cat stood in mid-air with its limbs outstretched, looking at Zhong Wan and letting out a pitiful meow.

Meow~ Mommy...

[Where's the promised big, purely yin-energy cake made by Dad?]

Lin Yan'an smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, Sui Sui, Daddy promises not to let Mommy interfere this time."

Zhong Wan stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the person and cat in front of her with great indignation: "I was just trying to help, and you dare to look down on me?!"

Seeing this, Zhong Suisui couldn't help but sigh heavily. The cat seemed to wilted, slumping down in front of her.

[Mom's help only makes things worse...]

Zhong Wan narrowed her eyes: "Hmm?"

Zhong Suisui puffed out her cheeks and continued to complain, "Last time Mom tried to help, but not only did she not separate the egg whites and yolks completely, there were also little eggshells inside...it almost knocked out Suisui's little teeth!"

Zhong Wan's eyes darted around: "That's because Mom was busy answering the phone and had a little accident..."

Zhong Suisui gave a soft snort. "And the time before last, Mom whipped the egg whites, but she didn't add lemon juice, so it was too fishy! Even though Suisui likes fish, she doesn't like the fishy smell!"

Zhong Wan felt guilty: "Well, Mom didn't have any experience either, but I let it out the second time I did it..."

Zhong Suisui flicked her tail and nodded listlessly. [Yes, I put in some, but way too much! The cake is all lemon-flavored! It's so sour Suisui's whiskers are practically curling!]

Zhong Wan: "..."
