Zhu Qianying was well aware that she was being overly anxious about her mother, just like a mother would be with her daughter.
Therefore, she also tried to put herself back in her daughter's position, without interfering too much or getting too involved.
Just like my sister said, even though she is a daughter, she has no right to deprive her mother of the warmth and happiness that a woman should enjoy as a woman.
However, not interfering with his mother does not mean he cannot act as a "guardian" and give Luo Yifan a warning.
Luo Yifan was a smart man, so he naturally understood the meaning behind her words.
"I know! My main purpose is to learn something from your mother. You know, when a person goes too far down a certain path, and there are more and more flowers and applause along the way, they will slowly forget their original intention and the initial joy!"
At first, Zhu Qianying couldn't understand what it was about her mother, besides her talent as a chef, that attracted the attention of this Boss Luo.
Now that I hear him say this, I vaguely understand that perhaps Luo Yifan saw the shadow of his own past entrepreneurial days in his mother.
His words actually implied that his feelings for Chen Jing were not just a momentary impulse, but rather stemmed from shared interests and pursuits.
Of course, to outsiders, these words sound like empty talk.
But to Zhu Qianying, who had witnessed her mother transform from a weak and humble woman who only knew how to depend on others into the independent and self-reliant person she was today, these words were more real and more touching than any other words.
"Well, I hope Uncle Luo can get along well with my mother."
Zhu Qianying's words were less of a wish and more of a blessing.
Luo Yifan, of course, understood as well.
"Yes, I will! Don't worry!"
Having received Luo Yifan's assurance, Zhu Qianying followed the two little brats to the kitchen to say hello to her mother, and then came out with the two little gluttons, their mouths bulging and their mouths full of snacks.
"Uncle Luo, this is for you!"
Zhu Qianying was carrying a box of snacks that Chen Jing had specially made for her to take back to the Yan family for the whole family to eat. She also casually handed a plate of them to Luo Yifan.
Luo Yifan was overjoyed. After being treated coldly all day, he was surprised to receive a plate of snacks.
"Thanks! I was feeling a bit hungry and was thinking of going in to grab something to eat!"
Zhu Qianying smiled at him, then waved goodbye. The two little ones, with their mouths full of snacks, mumbled incoherently with their cheeks puffed out.
Goodbye, Grandpa Luo!
Luo Yifan patted the two little ones on the head, "See you tomorrow, my two little darlings!"
Zhu Qianying carried the snacks and led the two little ones into the car. As soon as they got in, the young master, who had finally swallowed the snacks in his mouth, started gossiping again.
"Mommy, is Grandpa Luo pursuing Grandma?"
Zhu Qianying knew that this little guy's eyes were really sharp.
"Who said that? Don't make wild guesses!"
Zhu Qianying vehemently denied it to prevent the young master from doing anything unnecessary out of his own cleverness.
"Does it even need to be said? It sounds so stupid. He likes Xiao Wan from the next class, and he waits for her to get out of school every day with his schoolbag on his back. Isn't Grandpa Luo also waiting for Grandma to get off work?"
The young master's logic seems absurd at first glance, but upon closer examination, it actually makes perfect sense.
"Grandpa Luo isn't here to wait for Grandma to get off work; he's going to compete with her, so of course it'll take more time to coordinate."
Zhu Qianying tried to brush it off by saying it was a work-related matter, but little did she know that the young master wouldn't be so easily fooled.
"Mommy, Grandpa Luo is the boss, not the chef. He's the chef, the one competing with Grandma..."
Zhu Qianying could only say, "My mother-in-law is a boss too, isn't she?"
The young master Zizai probably felt that his mother's reason was a bit far-fetched, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he could only scratch his head and say, "Okay, then I'm disappointed again."
The little guy said that, but he still held onto hope. So when he saw Chen Jing come back before nine o'clock, he was very surprised and ran over to her, looking up at her with his little face.
Chen Jing touched his head, looking puzzled. "What's wrong? Don't you recognize your grandma? Or is there something dirty on your grandma's face?"
As she asked, she raised her hand to touch her face.
The little guy tilted his head and stared at Chen Jing for a while, then buried his face in Chen Jing's body and took a few deep breaths.
His commotion only made Chen Jing more confused.
He cupped the little one's chubby face in his hands, "What happened?"
The little one blinked. "Grandma, didn't you go on a date?"
Chen Jing was slightly taken aback. "A date? A date with whom?"
Chen Jing immediately thought of Xiao Ya; she must have said something inappropriate to Zizai again.
"With Grandpa Luo! Isn't he waiting for you to get off work so you can go on your date?"
So even though Zhu Qianying said that, the little guy still firmly believed in his own ideas.
Chen Jing flicked his head, "Silly boy, your mother-in-law is at work, how could she be on a date with him? Okay, stop thinking nonsense, it's time for you to go to bed, go on!"
The young master received a negative answer and ran away with a disappointed look on his face.
Chen Jing watched him run upstairs and shook her head helplessly.
Could it be that Luo Yifan said something to this little guy?
It seems I need to make things clear with him tomorrow!
When she came out after taking a shower, she saw her daughter sitting on the sofa, with a bowl of soup on the coffee table today.
"Mom, I just cooked this, have a bowl."
Chen Jing walked over, obediently picked up the bowl from below, and drank half of it in one gulp.
In fact, the restaurant makes several kinds of slow-cooked soups every day, so Chen Jing is not short of soup.
But she also understood that this was her daughter's way of showing concern for her, so the soup tasted especially delicious.
In matters of the heart, isn't it always just a matter of you coaxing me and me coaxing you?
For example, my daughter can cook and make desserts, but I still often make delicious food for her according to her preferences.
"Hmm, it tastes good. Did you make the toppings yourself?"
That's why she asked that question—because the taste was different from what she usually drinks.
"Yes, Young Master Yan's eyes have been a little uncomfortable lately, so I added some Dendrobium nobile."
"Tell him to work less late nights. Working overtime like this every day will ruin his health!"
Chen Jing also felt sorry for her son-in-law. Compared to Ji Huan, the younger son-in-law, this older son-in-law was indeed working much harder.
One person, carrying the burden of two families.
Zhu Qianying also wished that Yan Shao could work less overtime.
"Okay, I'll talk to him about it!"
While she verbally agreed, Zhu Qianying knew better than anyone else that with so much happening lately, it was impossible for Young Master Yan to have any free time.
