However, to be honest, Jiang Mu's farm is really good. The vegetables and fruits it produces are unique in all of Liyue, no, or rather, in all of Teyvat.
Moreover, out of respect for Xiangling, the farm never refused any of Wanmintang's requests. Whenever they developed a new crop, Wanmintang was the first to receive it. They also received discounts on vegetables and other vegetables they bought.
Well, it's only a 10% discount, not much.
From this perspective, Jiang Mu is quite sincere...
Just as he was thinking this, Master Mao heard the diners sitting near the door shouting.
"Old Mao, look, your daughter's already hooked up with someone else, hahaha..."
"Hey, you know what, this young man is actually quite handsome. He's a good match for my niece Xiangling, hahaha..."
"If you ask me, Lao Mao, have you prepared your dowry yet? How about we brothers chip in a little? Hahaha..."
………………
Even with Master Mao's thick skin, he couldn't quite bear the teasing from this group of grown men.
After hurriedly putting down the spatula in his hand and giving a few instructions to the busy waiters, Chef Mao lifted the curtain and walked out of the kitchen.
"Uh... Uncle Mao..."
Just then, Jiang Mu was carrying Xiang Ling, who was clinging to him tightly, and was about to walk towards the backyard, but when he saw Master Mao, he still politely called out to him.
Incidentally, he also bounced Xiangling on his body.
"Hey, Xiangling, Uncle Mao is here, aren't you coming down?"
Upon hearing this, Xiangling stiffened slightly, and after a moment of silence, she murmured something.
"Huh? Brother, what are you saying? I don't know this guy. Please take me away..."
Uh, Uncle Mao, your little darling is a bit leaky...
Jiang Mu almost blurted it out, but he held back...
Just as Master Mao was about to speak, he heard Xiangling's words and stumbled, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Guoba, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and caught Master Mao, helping him regain his balance...
"You... are you Jiang Mu?"
Although hearing his little darling's words stung Master Mao a bit, he still heard that unique title for Xiangling. Immediately, he raised his eyebrows and started baring his teeth at Jiang Mu.
"Well……"
Jiang Mu instinctively wanted to clasp his hands in a salute, but when he saw Xiang Ling lying on top of him, he had to give up the idea. He also gave Master Mao a pleading look.
Seeing Jiang Mu like this, Master Mao's anger subsided considerably.
In fact, he knew that his daughter had always had a great fondness for Jiang Mu, but he still didn't know what Jiang Mu thought.
But given Jiang Mu's personality, he wouldn't do something so damaging to Xiangling's reputation in public...
and……
Master Mao glanced at Yan Fei, who was grinning behind Jiang Mu, and thought to himself.
"Looks like this kid's still as clueless as ever after all that time he's been out there..."
Despite his racing thoughts, Master Mao stepped forward and reached out his hands to take Xiangling from Jiang Mu's arms.
Seeing this, Jiang Mu also felt a sense of relief.
The stares directed at the two of them along the way made him feel rather uncomfortable...
However, it was during this period that...
"You old geezer!"
Xiangling, who was in Jiang Mu's arms, suddenly raised her head and said to Master Mao.
"If you dare to take me away, I'll disown you!"
"..."
After a brief silence...
(,,???,,)……
(; ′_ゝ`)……
(?_?)……
(;′??Д??`)……
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The group of familiar diners all burst out laughing.
"Old Mao, your little darling has finally found matching cotton-padded pants!"
"Let me know when you're getting married, and I'll definitely be there to support you, hahaha..."
"Hahahaha..."
"Jiang Mu, you just wait!"
Master Mao's face turned as black as charcoal. He glared fiercely at Jiang Mu, then with a flick of his sleeve, he... returned to the kitchen...
"Well……"
Jiang Mu shrank his neck.
This feels a bit like settling scores after the fact...
But after seeing the two big, bright eyes staring at him from his arms, Jiang Mu decided to take Xiangling back to his room first...
Who can blame me for being so cute, hehe~
………………
After returning to Xiangling's room, the little one obediently "slid" off Jiang Mu as promised.
"Hey, watch out..."
Jiang Mu quickly pulled Xiang Ling back, and smiled helplessly.
"whee……"
Xiangling just giggled, pulled Jiang Mu's hand and sat down, blinking her big eyes and staring at Jiang Mu without letting go.
"Cough cough..."
Feeling a little awkward under Xiangling's intense gaze, Jiang Mu turned his head away, took out a few recipes from his system space, handed them to Xiangling, and said...
"These are some dishes I recently collected and created myself. The recipes are all written on here. You can take a look."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Xiangling's eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, she snatched the recipe from Jiang Mu's hand, glanced at it briefly, and then happily stuffed it into her Divine Eye space.
Immediately afterward, seeing Yan Fei's somewhat unfriendly gaze, Xiang Ling narrowed her eyes.
"He's a rival..."
Immediately, the little guy turned his head, grabbed Jiang Mu's hand again, and said in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"Brother, brother, you gave me the recipes you carefully collected. Will your girlfriend be angry if she sees them...?"
"I didn't..."
Jiang Mu was about to say that he didn't have a girlfriend, but Xiang Ling didn't give him a chance to explain. She picked up a sunset fruit from the side, took a bite, her eyes lit up, and continued.
"Mmm, this sunset fruit is so sweet, brother, have a bite..."
And ginger wood...
(っ°Д °;)っ
щ(゜ロ゜щ)
Seeing that Jiang Mu was stunned and didn't react, Xiang Ling sighed softly with disappointment, picked up the sunset fruit, and stuffed it into Jiang Mu's mouth...
"!"
Jiang Mu was surprised, and Yan Fei, who was standing next to him, also stood up subconsciously.
Ah~~
Only then did Xiangling belatedly gasp in surprise.
"Brother! If your girlfriend finds out we ate the same sunset fruit, won't she be jealous??"
Before Jiang Mu could react, he heard Xiang Ling continue.
"Brother, you...you traveled through seven kingdoms so hard, and you even researched recipes for me. If your girlfriend finds out, won't she beat me up?"
As she spoke, Xiangling glanced at Yanfei, whose face was beginning to darken, and instinctively shrank back a little...
"Your girlfriend is terrifying!"
As she spoke, Xiangling moved closer to Jiang Mu, revealing an innocent smile.
"Unlike me, I only feel sorry for Giegie~~~"
