The two sat facing each other, and Luo Yifan handed Chen Jing a glass of soy milk with a straw inserted.
Chen Jing took it and said thank you.
He looked down and took a bite of the fried dough stick.
"I'm going back to R City in a few days. Is there anything you want to bring for Xiaoyu?" Luo Yifan asked, staring at her.
Chen Jing shook her head. "It's nothing. I just went to R City a few days ago. Besides, Xiao Huan comes over occasionally on business and will come to see me too."
The relationship between the two seemed even more distant than when Le Tong first introduced them.
Chen Jing thought it was a good idea, but Luo Yifan found it incredibly frustrating.
The breakfast took only ten minutes. Luo Yifan's words were not small, but Chen Jing only responded with "uh-huh, uh-huh".
Luo Yifan estimates that this situation will continue for quite some time.
As he expected, after breakfast, Chen Jing went into the kitchen to busy herself, while he, just like yesterday, took out his computer and did his own thing.
At lunchtime, he didn't go through Xiaoya. Instead, he went straight into the kitchen and told Chen Jing to prepare two simple dishes. However, when Xiaoshan brought them out, there was an extra plate of meat.
"Master said this beef is made using a new method. Why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"
Luo Yifan was happy all day because of this. Even though she washed up and changed into a clean and comfortable outfit before going out in the afternoon, it didn't spoil her good mood.
In the afternoon, Zhu Qianying went to pick up Zizai as usual. While Zhu Qianying went into the kitchen to find Chen Jing, the little guy quietly pulled Luo Yifan aside.
"Grandpa Luo, why do you come to the restaurant every day? You don't even work here!"
The little guy asked very seriously. Clearly, he had thought about it for a whole night and a day, but still didn't quite believe his mother's words. So, he decided to find out the truth in his own way.
Luo Yifan patted his head. "Zizai, can you tell Grandpa Luo that you want a maternal grandfather?"
Zizai looked up at him with a curious expression, and after a moment, said, "If this person loves my mother-in-law, I'll take him; if not, I won't!"
Luo Yifan was astonished. This little guy's thinking and logic were simply too strong. He was no less capable than the Ji family's twins.
"Well, what do you think of Grandpa Luo?"
Luo Yifan was actually quite confident in himself. Although he knew Zizai was very smart, he still felt that he needed to gain recognition from this little guy.
It shouldn't be difficult.
Sure enough, the little one responded quickly, "I think Grandpa Luo is pretty good, but this isn't up to me to decide! It's up to my grandma..."
Zhu Qianying was always worried that after the little guy learned of Luo Yifan's intentions, he would do something that would make people laugh and cry at the same time.
Just like how he tried every means to speak well of Yan Han back then.
However, Zhu Qianying overlooked one point: the reason why Zizai helped Yanhan so much was not only because of the bond between the two as father and son, but also because Yanhan made Zizai feel the responsibility and love that Yanhan should have as a father and husband during the months they spent together.
That's why he was so proactive in helping out.
However, his feelings for Luo Yifan were merely superficial, and compared to his feelings for his mother-in-law, these feelings were insignificant.
Therefore, even though Zhu Qianying hadn't hinted at it, he still subconsciously sided with his mother-in-law.
In his view, no matter how good Luo Yifan was, for the time being, he was still an outsider, and he naturally couldn't help an outsider scheme against his mother-in-law.
But Yan Shao is different. Even though Yan Shao has no relationship with Zhu Qianying anymore, he is still Zizai's biological father.
Luo Yifan didn't expect the little guy to react so quickly. However, this also shows that Chen Jing is really good to the children. Otherwise, Zizai wouldn't be so protective of her.
"Yes, Zizai is right. Then Grandpa Luo will try his best to make your mother-in-law think I'm good!"
Luo Yifan made no attempt to hide his thoughts from this little kid, because he knew that this kid was different from ordinary kids.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Zizai looked at him thoughtfully, as if trying to ascertain the truthfulness and credibility of his words.
"So, Grandpa Luo, you like my mother-in-law, right?"
Luo Yifan was stunned for a moment. Although he was very clear about what he was doing, being asked so directly by someone who was still just a kid made him a little slow to react.
"Yes, I like your mother-in-law!" Luo Yifan gave the little guy a very firm answer.
This was the first time he had so earnestly and directly confessed to others that he liked Chen Jing.
Perhaps it wasn't the same fervent liking he had when he was young, but seeing Chen Jing always made him feel inexplicably at ease.
Besides that, she could also talk to him about a lot of things that interested him.
From a professional perspective, Chen Jing is a chef whom he greatly admires and is very talented; in fact, he not only admires him but also respects him greatly.
Jingjing Private Kitchen innovates its dishes even faster than Fanxin Restaurant.
As for Fanxin Restaurant, each branch has at least a few head chefs plus other ordinary chefs, and it is already very difficult for each store to launch a signature dish every month.
However, at Jingjing Restaurant, only Chen Jing can be called the head chef, but she launches one or two new dishes every week. Moreover, each of these new dishes is exquisite and would definitely receive praise even if served at a five-star hotel.
Of course, he couldn't tell these thoughts to Zizai, who was only five years old. Even though he was obviously a genius, matters of the heart can only be understood through experience, and have nothing to do with whether someone is a genius or not.
Therefore, he could only give the little guy a general answer.
Zizai was very satisfied with the answer. With a mature air, he reached out and patted Luo Yifan's shoulder, who was half-squatting in front of him.
"Alright then, Grandpa Luo, good luck!"
Luo Yifan smiled and thanked him.
In her heart, she was increasingly looking forward to her future relationship with Chen Jing.
He couldn't help but fantasize that if he and Chen Jing could get together, this cute and clever little guy would become his grandson. For him, who had always envied Le Tong for having a pair of adorable grandchildren, this was undoubtedly another great temptation.
And you'll have two beautiful daughters too...
The more Luo Yifan thought about it, the more motivated he became. As a result, the unpleasantness he felt because Chen Jing had gone out on a date with someone also disappeared.
"Mommy, I just asked Grandpa Luo..."
In the car, the boy excitedly reported to his mother.
Zhu Qianying inwardly cried out in alarm, and tugged at his cheek, saying, "Yan Xu, you're too gossipy..."
"Mommy, I'm not a gossip! I just asked him if he likes my mother-in-law!"
puff!
Zhu Qianying spat out the water she was holding in her mouth, hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe it dry, and then turned to look at the little guy.
"What did he say?"
He said, "Yes, he likes my mother-in-law!"
