"Oh, Young Master Yan is taking Xiao Lu to the supermarket downstairs to buy some soy sauce."
Clearly, when Yan Shao said he would take Xiao Luzi to buy soy sauce, he was just making an excuse to get away from Xiao Luzi so that she wouldn't be reminded of the painful memories of their overly joyful meeting.
"Jing, come here, let me introduce you." Luo Yifan quickly walked over, took Chen Jing's hand, and led her back to the living room.
When Zhu Qianying led the Luo family father and sons into the house, Chen Jing was in the kitchen preparing a fish. The fish was still jumping around, and her hands were covered in blood. She couldn't just let it run out and scare people like that.
So she had no choice but to listen carefully to what was happening outside, quicken her pace, and finish preparing the fish. She washed her hands, took off her apron, and tidied her hair before finally coming out.
Seeing their father pull Chen Jing over, Luo Xian and Luo Chang quickly stood up and, before Luo Yifan could introduce her, greeted her in unison, "Hello, Aunt Jing!"
Chen Jing felt a little awkward, after all, although she was an elder, she was now in a position to be scrutinized.
"Xiaoxian and Xiaochang, right? Hello!"
Chen Jing had naturally found out the two young men's names from Luo Yifan. Now, although she was nervous, her mind and actions could still function normally.
Chen Jing greeted them with a smile, then quickly gestured for them to sit down, "Please sit down! Are you hungry? Would you like some snacks to tide you over?"
While Chen Jing was exchanging pleasantries with the two brothers, Zhu Qianying had already gone to make tea and brought out several plates of pastries that her mother had just made.
To please someone, you must first please their stomach.
After eating the pastries made by Chen Jing, the Luo brothers, Luo Xian and Luo Chang, looked noticeably more easygoing and friendly than before.
“Aunt Jing, my dad has often told me how delicious your pastries are. Now that I’ve tasted them myself, they truly live up to their reputation.”
Luo Chang is the younger brother, and his personality is noticeably more lively than his older brother's.
Perhaps he sensed Chen Jing's nervousness, or perhaps he genuinely found Chen Jing's pastries amazing; in any case, after he said that, the tense atmosphere in the living room gradually eased.
"Now I finally understand why my dad never goes back to R City..."
Luo Chang said something meaningful, then reached out and picked up another pastry and put it in his mouth.
"Uncle Chang, I'm not bragging, but I've never eaten any desserts that taste better than my mother-in-law's."
With Zai Zai around, it's impossible for the atmosphere not to be lively.
Upon hearing the door open, Zizai immediately jumped off the sofa, ran to the door, took the bag from Yan Shao's hand, and struggled to carry it into the kitchen.
After putting the soy sauce and other things in the kitchen, the little guy hurriedly ran back and led Bai Xiaolu, who had just changed her shoes, into the living room.
"Bai Xiaolu, this is Uncle Xian, this is Uncle Chang, they are Grandpa Luo's sons."
Bai Xiaolu greeted the two uncles politely, and then she and Zizai Shan went to study the aircraft carrier model that Luo Chang had given them.
Chen Jing exchanged a few more pleasantries with the two brothers before getting up to go to the kitchen to get busy. When Zhu Qianying saw this, she also wanted to get up to help, but Chen Jing pressed her down onto the sofa.
"Ying'er, you stay with them. I'm enough to handle things in the kitchen."
Zhu Qianying thought about it and realized that it made sense. It wouldn't be right for the hosts to all go to the kitchen to cook while the guests chatted in the living room.
Of course, Yan Shao is also the master, but Zhu Qianying always felt that this sincerity was not enough.
"Shadow, my dad told me you're a jewelry designer. When do you have time to design a ring for me?"
Luo Xian didn't know if he was telling the truth or just being polite, but in any case, Zhu Qianying couldn't pretend she hadn't heard him.
"Of course, whether it's a men's or women's style, or if you have any special preferences or requirements, you can tell me in advance."
Luo Xian laughed and said, "Of course it's the men's version. I don't even have a girlfriend yet, so why would I need a women's version?"
Luo Yifan glared at his eldest son. "It's one thing that you don't have a girlfriend, but why do you look so proud of it?"
Luo Xian shrugged, indifferent to whether it was authentic or not.
“Dad, finding a girlfriend is all about fate. You used to urge me to have a grandson all the time, but now that I have Zizai, I don’t need to rush anymore.”
Judging from what the father and son were saying, it seemed that they had already regarded Zhu Qianying's family as their own.
Zhu Qianying wasn't sure if they were joking or what, so she carefully examined the father and son for a few moments but didn't see any signs of teasing on their faces.
"How about you ask Shadow to introduce me to someone? Maybe I can give it a try."
Luo Xian, however, seemed completely oblivious to Zhu Qianying's scrutiny, and continued to joke around as usual.
After laughing and joking for a while, the conversation somehow gradually turned to economics. Seeing that Young Master Yan and Luo Yifan and his two sons were getting along very well, Zhu Qianying got up and went to the kitchen to help.
Just as it was time to eat, the sound of a lock being opened came from the other side of the door. Needless to say, it was Zhu Qianyu and Ji Huan who had come from R City.
As always, Zai Zai was the best ambassador for welcoming guests. After sweetly greeting Zhu Qianyu and Ji Huan as they entered, he pulled them into the living room.
Ji Huan and Xiao Yu were very familiar with the Luo family father and son. After greeting them, Ji Huan led Zhu Qian Yu, whose belly was very obviously protruding, to the kitchen.
"Mom, sister!"
Zhu Qianyu had originally planned to come to L City this Saturday, but the original plan was for the mother, her two daughters, and their son to spend two days together. Now, it has become a "new" family dinner.
"Sister, do you think Mom and Uncle Luo can get together?"
While her son-in-law Ji Huan was chatting with Chen Jing, Zhu Qianyu leaned close to Zhu Qianying's ear and whispered a question.
"Ninety-nine percent..." Zhu Qianying categorized the remaining one percent possibility into the category of natural disasters and man-made calamities.
In other words, in Zhu Qianying's mind, the matter between her mother and Luo Yifan was almost a done deal.
Therefore, she wasn't too surprised when she heard Luo Xian say that Luo Yifan already had a grandson named Zizai.
In fact, the attitude of the Luo family father and son was already very clear: whether it would work out or not depended on whether their mother agreed.
After chatting with Chen Jing for a while, Ji Huan was kicked out of the kitchen and told to go chat with Yan Shao and the others. Only the mother and her two daughters remained in the kitchen.
"Mom, did you sign that bet?"
Zhu Qianyu was very curious and clung to Chen Jing's arm, asking for the truth.
Zhu Qianying then realized that she had been so overwhelmed with joy that she had forgotten about the bet.
"Yes, Mom, you and Uncle Luo have officially confirmed your relationship now, so what about that bet?"
Chen Jing was quite embarrassed by her two daughters. She coughed a few times before saying, "I didn't sign it. I returned the bet to him!"
The two sisters exchanged a smile, as if they had known this would be the outcome.
"Mom, did Uncle Luo propose to you?" Zhu Qianyu nuzzled Chen Jing again and asked with a smile.
