Young Master Yan patted her head. "Don't worry, you can't be tricked!"
"Huh?!" Zhu Qianying didn't understand the intricacies of the situation at first.
Yan Shao then explained, "With your and Mom's cooking skills being so good, where would we find a third person to surpass you? Besides, even if we did find someone, that would only be in terms of others. As for Zizai, probably no one will ever be able to cook as well as you and Mom."
Zhu Qianying disagreed with him, saying, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe his future wife, who will also be our daughter-in-law, will be a great chef."
Young Master Yan neither agreed nor disagreed with her words; after all, no one could say for sure what would happen ten or twenty years from now.
The two stopped dwelling on the matter and instead turned the conversation to Luo Yifan's two sons.
"Uncle Luo, when will your two sons arrive? I'll send someone to pick them up."
Yan Shao was proactive and attentive because he could also sense that Zhu Qianying was eager to get along with Luo Yifan's son.
This is understandable; if Luo Yifan's son can accept Chen Jing, Zhu Qianying will naturally feel much more at ease.
"No need, they'll come by themselves when they arrive. I've already given them the address, I'll just go out and pick them up."
Since Luo Yifan had said that, Young Master Yan didn't say anything more.
Zhu Qianying brought the seafood she bought from the market to the kitchen, intending to help, but Chen Jing forcibly kicked her out.
So, Zhu Qianying came out carrying two plates of snacks, a cup of coffee, and a cup of milk.
The coffee was for Yan Shao, the milk was for her, and the snacks were for their breakfast.
"Uncle Luo, what would you like to drink? I'll pour you some."
Luo Yifan pointed to the cup on the coffee table, "No need, I'm making tea."
Zhu Qianying glanced at the cup and thought to herself, "They even have special cups now. That's really fast."
However, this is for the best. With Mom's personality, if she keeps dawdling, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause. A quick resolution might be a good thing.
Zhu Qianying's thoughts were almost identical to Yan Shao's, because after taking a sip of milk, she asked Luo Yifan.
"Uncle Luo, when will your son arrive? Let us send someone to pick them up."
Luo Yifan repeated his answer to Yan Shao. Zhu Qianying listened and didn't insist anymore, only saying, "Okay, I'll go out with you to pick them up later."
Around 10 o'clock, Luo Yifan's phone rang. Luo Yifan, who was sitting in the living room chatting with Yan Shao, answered the phone.
"Xiaoxian, have you arrived?"
"Okay, wait for me, I'll come down and get you now."
Clearly, it was his two sons who had arrived.
Zhu Qianying was peeling peanuts for her mother in the dining room when she heard Luo Yifan's words. She stood up, straightened her clothes slightly, and said to Luo Yifan who was walking over.
"Uncle Luo, let's go, I'll go with you to pick them up."
Luo Yifan did not refuse. After all, it was a sign of respect for him, and also a sign of importance placed on his two sons.
In his heart, Luo Yifan was actually very grateful to Zhu Qianying.
Although, theoretically speaking, as parents, he and Chen Jing's relationship should not be controlled by their children.
But he was very clear that if he couldn't gain Zhu Qianying's approval, he wouldn't even consider Chen Jing.
Moreover, in the past two days, he has also learned from Chen Jing's words that Zhu Qianying had said a lot of good things about him in his relationship with Chen Jing.
It can be said that Zhu Qianying's encouragement played a major role in enabling Chen Jing to figure things out so quickly.
"Ying'er, thank you!"
Luo Yifan said this while the two were in the elevator.
Zhu Qianying gave him a deep look. "Uncle Luo, you don't need to thank me. Just make my mother happy, that's enough!"
Luo Yifan nodded, "Don't worry, I won't let her down."
Zhu Qianying thought for a moment and then said, "Uncle Luo, there's something I need to say, please don't mind it."
"Please speak!"
“My mother has a very soft temper. Once she sets her mind on someone, she'll be completely devoted and won't hear or see anything else. So if you ever do anything too outrageous to my mother, don't blame me for being ruthless.”
In the past, Zhu Qianying would naturally not have had the confidence to say such things.
But now, Zhu Qianying's status is what it is—the matriarch of both the Yan and Tong families. It would be a lie to say that Luo Yifan has no reservations about her.
These threatening words, however, did not bother Luo Yifan at all.
Because he had heard too much about the mother and daughter these past few days, he understood very well how difficult it was for Zhu Qianying to pull Chen Jing out of the Zhu family's den of wolves.
She not only exposed Chen Jing, but also supported her all the way, helping Chen Jing grow into the confident and independent person she is today.
Now that he wants to take Chen Jing from her, it is perfectly reasonable that he would receive such warnings and threats.
"Ying'er, don't worry, that day will never come. Your mother is a good person, and she deserves my good treatment. Of course, if one day I do something terrible, you can do whatever you want to me, I don't care, because that's what I deserve to die for!"
Luo Yifan has always been a responsible person. Since he can understand Zhu Qianying's feelings, he naturally has to make a certain promise to her.
Zhu Qianying nodded in satisfaction, her serious expression fading into a warm smile.
"Of course, I also believe that Uncle Luo won't do anything excessive, otherwise, I wouldn't have entrusted my mother to you!"
Luo Yifan chuckled, amused by her frankness. "Ying'er, has anyone ever said that you seem more like the mother, while A-Jing seems more like the daughter?"
Zhu Qianying laughed even more heartily, "Of course, my mother herself says it occasionally, and Young Master Yan often says that I am destined to be a daughter, but I have the heart of a mother."
Luo Yifan admired and appreciated the girl in front of him, who was only in her twenties. No wonder Le Tong always spoke highly of her.
"Young Master Yan is absolutely right. From now on, you should enjoy being a daughter. As for your mother's affairs, I'll take care of them!"
Luo Yifan's words seemed casual, but to Zhu Qianying, they were very pleasant to hear.
It turns out that besides sweet words, there are other words that can warm the heart.
"I will!"
At this point, Zhu Qianying had basically accepted Luo Yifan as her stepfather.
“My two sons are not very talkative, but they are easy to get along with. I believe they will treat A-Jing very well in the future, so you don’t need to worry about that.”
As if he wanted to demand ownership of Chen Jing from Zhu Qianying, Luo Yifan then gave another promise that would reassure Zhu Qianying about entrusting ownership of Chen Jing to her.
