Qin Qing had no idea how many people were standing at the door. She asked Xiao Muxing to invite Shaoyao to bring her grandson over for dinner, but forgot to tell her not to mention Huang Zhong after seeing him. After all, judging by the timeline, Huang Zhong might still be in the military camp and hadn't returned yet!
Who knew that as soon as Xiao Muxing arrived and finished speaking, the three people at the door heard everything clearly! They immediately sold her out!
At this moment, Qin Qing was tossing the wok with one hand while adding various ingredients, and the aroma of stir-fried dishes filled the whole yard, making people's taste buds water.
Today I made eight dishes and a soup: braised pork belly, grilled fish, stir-fried potatoes and sausages, spicy hot pot, boiled sliced pork, spicy stir-fried crab meat, steamed hairy crab, stir-fried bamboo shoots and sliced pork, and a corn and pork rib soup…
Just hearing the name tells you how delicious it must be!
As soon as the group of people came down from the gate of the house, they smelled the fresh, spicy and numbing aroma, which stimulated their taste buds!
Peony and Mu Xing's eyes were filled with surprise and longing. Even the baby, who was not yet a year old, seemed to have noticed the fragrance. His big eyes couldn't help but look at the mansion and he made "ee-yah-yah" sounds, as if urging everyone to go in quickly!
Upon smelling the fragrance, Wang Yan's chaotic mind suddenly calmed down, and the coldness in his eyes slowly faded, revealing a hint of excitement and eagerness.
Then Wang Yan was the first to step inside, followed closely by Deputy General Zhang, whose expression was both serious and complicated. Huang Zhong went over to accompany Shaoyao inside. Xiao Muxing then realized what was happening and hurriedly ran inside to inform Qin Qing!
However, it was already too late!
Before Xiao Muxing could even call out, Wang Yan had already reached the kitchen doorway, and that incredibly tempting aroma was coming from there…
Crabs were steaming in a pot, and braised pork was stewing on another stove. The aroma of tender, sweet, and juicy meat was so enticing that it made one's mouth water!
But the kitchen was completely empty!
Seeing this, Wang Yan stood frozen in place, his hands clenched tightly, it was hard to tell whether he was disappointed or angry!
Seeing this, Xiao Muxing peeked inside but didn't see the familiar figure. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Qin Zifeng's voice.
"Oh? What brings the General here? And Vice General Zhang and Uncle too? Hey, Xiao Bao is still so cute! Xingxing, you've come at the right time, help me take the vegetables inside."
Xiao Muxing snapped out of her daze, nodded quickly, and ran into the kitchen. Qin Zifeng followed her in...
At this moment, Wang Yan looked up at Qin Zifeng, his gaze cold and stubborn.
"Did you make the food?"
Stared at like that, Qin Zifeng couldn't help but shudder. The lie that was about to come out of his mouth just wouldn't come out, but he didn't dare to look away, because that action would definitely expose his inner fear and guilt.
Remembering that he had just listened to Qin Qing and was about to come and get the vegetables, he saw several figures at the kitchen door as soon as he stepped out, especially Wang Yan's. Alarm bells immediately went off in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he felt that his grandmother probably didn't want to see a certain person right now, so he came out with a smile on his face, but his heart was in a panic!
Now, he could only grit his teeth and bear the pressure, and slowly open his mouth!
"Ah, which dish is the General referring to?"
And then nothing more happened...
God knows, he could be indifferent and calm with anyone, but apart from being devoted to Xiao Muxing, he had never been so flustered. Even he could feel how stiff the smile on his lips was at this moment.
However, Wang Yan was clearly not going to let him off so easily. He slowly lifted his foot and took two steps forward, his intimidating aura hitting Qin Zifeng so hard that he could barely speak and even find it difficult to breathe!
The next second, Wang Yan stared straight at him, his tall figure casting a shadow...
"Did you make the food?"
He asked the same question a second time, his tone almost unchanged, but Qin Zifeng keenly sensed a hint of danger. He was certain that if what he said next didn't satisfy him, he might lose his life! The killing intent was crystal clear!
Xiao Muxing also noticed something was wrong and quickly ran over to stand in front of Qin Zifeng, but her petite body was no match for the taller Qin Zifeng, let alone protect him.
Qin Zifeng felt a warmth in his heart upon seeing this. He hadn't expected Xiao Muxing to care about him so much! He was instantly moved to tears, thinking with tears welling up in his eyes, "She truly is the wife I chose; she can be so brave in the face of such a dangerous person!"
However…
"Master Wang Yan, he doesn't know martial arts. You'll scare him to death if you do that!"
One sentence made Qin Zifeng's face darken! Scared him to death?? So she stepped in not because she was afraid Wang Yan would kill him, but because she was afraid Qin Zifeng would be scared out of his wits? Scared to death?! Was he really that cowardly in her eyes? So weak and frail??
Wang Yan glanced coldly at Xiao Muxing, which startled the little girl, causing her to shrink back instantly. Fear flashed in her eyes, but she still insisted on standing in front of Qin Zifeng.
"Get out of the way!"
The cold voice sent a shiver down everyone's spine! You must know! Xiao Muxing is Qin Qing's own granddaughter, his most beloved granddaughter... Because of this, even though she caused countless troubles in the military camp, Wang Yan chose to turn a blind eye, thus establishing Xiao Muxing's future status in the military camp!
Yet, at this moment, he treated that little girl the same way…
Xiao Muxing was also terrified, her face turning pale instantly. After all, she was just a little girl in her early teens.
Qin Zifeng was also furious. He understood Wang Yan's feelings about losing their grandmother, but that didn't mean he could be so heartless as to treat Xiao Muxing so cruelly!
A ruthless glint flashed in the boy's eyes. He raised his head and looked directly at Wang Yan, instantly losing all his previous fear and becoming a completely different person!
"General, aren't you afraid that Grandma will hate you if she knows how you treat Mu Xing?"
As he spoke, he gently pushed Xiao Muxing aside with one hand, a sarcastic smile on his lips, showing no fear of Wang Yan's imposing manner!
This sudden change startled Wang Yan, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He had thought Wang Yan was just an ordinary, unremarkable boy, but now he was unleashing such an astonishing aura and could look him directly in the eye like that…
Even the current emperor would give way to him, this young man…
Suddenly, he realized that the boy in front of him looked remarkably like someone... and not just in appearance!
Just as tensions were rising, Qin Qing, who was looking for a stool in the living room, suddenly remembered the food in her pot. Looking at Qin Zifeng, who hadn't returned yet, she rolled her eyes in exasperation and ran to the front yard...
"Zifeng! Why are you taking so long to serve this dish..."
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw several people facing off at the kitchen door...
For a moment, everyone froze on the spot. Peony looked at Qin Qing with excitement and surprise, overjoyed!
