Jian Yixue looked at the two people on the sofa, smiled slightly, and turned around to get busy with her work with satisfaction.

After all, it takes some time to make crucian carp soup.

The village chief frowned slightly as he looked at Ye Mohan, who remained silent.

After a while, seeing that Ye Mohan still hadn't spoken, the village chief had no choice but to lower his stance and speak, breaking the awkward atmosphere between the two.

At the same time, he also wanted to know more about what Jian Yixue had been up to lately.

"Has Xueya been mistreated at your home?"

The village chief looked at Ye Mohan, who was looking at his phone, and asked.

Hearing this, Ye Mohan looked up at the village chief, casually put away his phone, and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa likes Xue'er very much, and I will not let Xue'er suffer the slightest grievance."

The village chief was pleased to hear Ye Mohan's words.

At the same time, there was some doubt, "Your parents?"

The village chief was unaware of Ye Mohan's family background. He only learned a few things through intermediaries and did not know that Ye Mohan's parents were no longer alive.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan felt a sudden pang of sadness, but he concealed it in his eyes. "My parents passed away many years ago."

Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately realized that his question had been somewhat impolite. "I'm sorry, I didn't know your family was in this situation. I just wanted to know if Xueya was happy living with you."

Ye Mohan shook his head. "It's alright. I've accepted this fact over the years. I also understand why you did it."

If Ye Mohan hadn't met Jian Yixue before, he probably still wouldn't have been able to fully recover from the emotional trauma caused by the death of his parents.

During this time, he would occasionally recall some childhood stories and memories of his time with his parents.

It seems that the trauma from my childhood is quietly healing.

The root of all this happened after Jian Yixue appeared.

Xue'er is his cure!

His salvation!

After meeting Xue'er, he often discovered the beauty in life.

Even vacations, which had never existed in his dictionary before, have now appeared.

Without anyone telling him, he noticed the change in himself.

It seems that now, he has become like a wisp of smoke in the world.

Seeing that Ye Mohan didn't seem to mind, the village chief nodded slightly.

He truly had no idea that the noble Ye Mohan would have such a similar experience to Xue Yatou, and his respect for Ye Mohan grew even more.

These children, sharing the same plight, are more understanding and empathetic towards each other than others.

fine!

A marriage built on mutual understanding and support is the one that lasts.

After this question, the village chief had largely accepted Ye Mohan and the fact that the two were together.

After that, the village chief stopped talking, afraid that he might ask something he shouldn't.

Furthermore, his original intention was simply to confirm whether Jian Yixue was doing well, and if Ye Mohan was not lying about the question he asked today, then Xueya was happy and content.

That's enough!

And Xue Yatou's attitude confirmed this.

Seeing this, Ye Mohan, who was standing to the side, said nothing more.

He wasn't usually a talkative person and rarely spent time with his elders.

When he meets with his close friends, he is almost always very sparing with words!

Only in front of Jian Yixue would he become that nagging person.

When he was with Jian Yixue, he seemed to have endless things to say.

After a while, Jian Yixue, who was in the kitchen, walked to the door and called out, "Mo Han, come and help me bring out the dishes, dinner is ready."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan, who was busy at work, immediately put down his phone, got up, and went over to help.

The village chief looked at the two people busy in the kitchen and felt very gratified.

Seeing that Ye Mohan ran over without regard for his status as soon as Jian Yixue called out, the village chief's liking for Ye Mohan grew even more.

In the kitchen, Ye Mohan stood beside Jian Yixue, his eyes fixed on her as she ladled soup.

A short while later, Jian Yixue handed the soup she had served to Ye Mohan, saying, "This is one of my specialties. Serve it first, and you'll have to try it later."

Ye Mohan smiled and nodded, taking the crucian carp and tofu soup from her hand. "Mmm." Then, taking Jian Yixue by surprise, he kissed her on the forehead, before smugly carrying the soup out.

Jian Yixue was taken aback by Ye Mohan's sudden action. Then, remembering the village chief in the living room, she couldn't help but give Ye Mohan a reproachful look.

Her face flushed slightly, and she turned around to continue preparing the remaining dishes.

If you look closely, you'll see a genuine smile in her eyes.

Before long, the previously empty table was filled with delicious food.

At the dining table, Jian Yixue, with a bright smile on her face, looked at the village chief and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, try my cooking and see if it has gotten any worse."

Upon hearing this, the village chief chuckled and picked up his chopsticks to taste the food.

Jian Yixue stared at the village chief the whole time. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a while, she finally asked, "How is it?"

Could it be that I've become rusty from not doing it for a while?

Jian Yixue was somewhat self-doubting, staring at the village chief and waiting.

Upon hearing this, the village chief laughed and said, "Xue's cooking skills are as good as ever. Come on, Mo Han, have a taste!"

Ye Mohan did not refuse, picked up his chopsticks, and ate a piece of fish.

It must be said that Jian Yixue's cooking skills truly won his heart.

Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue and praised her without reservation, "Delicious."

Hearing the two men's praise for her cooking skills, Jian Yixue felt a great sense of accomplishment, and a smile remained on her face from beginning to end.

Being with them made Jian Yixue feel incredibly comfortable.

Compared to the previous meal at the Jian family home, this was finally a proper family reunion dinner.

"If you like it, eat more. There's more in the kitchen. If you're still hungry, get more."

Jane Yixue happily busied herself with the arrangements.

Seeing this, the village chief said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Mo Han, don't be shy, eat whatever you like, we're all family."

Ye Mohan nodded after hearing this and started eating.

At that moment, Jian Yixue suddenly realized what was happening.

When did the two of them become so close?

Didn't you... before when you were out there?

In the short time she was cooking, it seemed that a secret had developed between the two of them.

However, this can be considered a good thing, and she is happy to see it.

Seeing the two people in front of her enjoying their meal, Jian Yixue joined them with a big smile and started eating as well.

Before long, the table was completely cleared by the group.

The village chief sat down and rubbed his full stomach, laughing as he said, "It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying meal. Xue's cooking skills are truly amazing."

He remembered the last time he had such a satisfying meal was when Xueya was still in the countryside, and he would occasionally catch some fish to enjoy together.

The main reason is that Xue Yatou's cooking skills are the best he has ever eaten.

When Xueya lived in the countryside, he would often come over to eat with her.

He provides the fish, and Xueya provides the vegetables and cooking skills.

In the end, he wasn't the one who lost out.
