"Mommy, Xiaoxiao is hungry."
Little Xiao ran back carrying the ball.
"Come on, rest for a while, and then eat something later."
Li Feng took out a tissue from her bag and wiped the thin layer of sweat from her forehead.
Although it's autumn now, there's a slight breeze and a bit of a chill in the air.
Xiaoxiao played for too long, kept running, and was wearing a light jacket, so it's no surprise that she was sweating.
"Sister Yun, let's start grilling the meat now. I bet the kids are hungry."
Su Yinwan raised her wrist and looked at the time on her watch.
Before I knew it, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Okay, then I'll go and start the charcoal first."
Sister Yun was experienced and quickly lit the charcoal for the barbecue.
Sister Li placed the skewered chicken wings, beef, sausages, and other meats onto the grill and grilled them with ease.
It seems everyone here has some skills.
Su Yinwan waited on the side with a plate in her hand; she was just helping out today.
With all the chefs there, she didn't need to steal the spotlight.
The chicken wings started sizzling with oil, and the aroma of meat filled the air.
The children, drawn by the aroma, came over, their eyes fixed on the still-cooked chicken wings.
"Haohao, take your younger siblings and sit down first. There's a lot of smoke and oil here, and you might get burned. Auntie will bring the meat over to you later when it's cooked."
Seeing the three children constantly swallowing their saliva, Su Yinwan smiled.
"Oh, if I had known we were having barbecue today, I would have brought the secret dipping sauce that the owner of the barbecue restaurant in Zicheng gave me last time. I still miss that taste."
Su Yinwan suddenly remembered that she hadn't used the dipping sauce she had packed earlier, and patted her head.
"I brought it here. I had Aunt Liu find it."
Rong Jing appeared behind Su Yinwan at some point, holding a bag of dipping sauce with the Zicheng logo, which was the one Su Yinwan had brought back last time.
"Knowing you like to eat, I specially asked Xu Feng to go back to Qianyue Bay first."
The man walked up to her again and gently stroked the tip of her nose with his other hand.
"Little glutton."
Watching the interaction between the two, Sister Yun and Sister Li's smiles never stopped, indicating that they really couldn't get enough of it.
This is a real-life romantic drama; if you can see it live, watch it to your heart's content.
"I'll reward you with a string of chicken wings later."
Su Yinwan took the dipping sauce from Rong Jing's hand and gave him a thumbs-up with a big smile.
That's it?
"What else would you like to eat? I'll grill it for you."
"I want to eat you." Rong Jing leaned close to Su Yinwan and said ambiguously in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Su Yinwan, “…”
"Sister Li, is the beef ready? I'll take it over first."
Su Yinwan did not respond to Rong Jing, but walked past him and headed towards Sister Yun.
"The beef is ready, let's give it to them to tide them over."
Rong Jing watched Su Yinwan's busy figure, smiled calmly, and turned to walk towards the small seat.
"Come on, kids, let's eat! Have you all washed your hands? Try it and see how it tastes!"
"I've washed, Auntie Wan."
Su Yinwan first gave each person one skewer of beef from the plate, and placed the rest on the table next to her.
Li Feng was also helping out at Sister Yun's place, so she had to feed Xiao Xiao for the time being.
The skewers for barbecue were a bit sharp, so Su Yinwan didn't give Xiaoxiao a whole skewer directly.
Instead, he took a small piece of beef, blew on it to cool it, and fed it to Xiaoxiao, saying gently, "Xiaoxiao, try this meat and see if it's good?"
She took a small bite and nodded in approval because it was so delicious.
"It's delicious, Xiaoxiao wants more."
Su Yinwan smiled as she watched Xiao Xiao eagerly take another bite after just swallowing the first one.
While feeding Xiaoxiao, she reminded Haohao and Yangyang to be careful of the heat and to watch out for the sharp points of the bamboo skewers.
"I want to eat too," Rong Jing said in a low voice.
"Don't you have a string of them in your hand?" Su Yinwan rolled her eyes at him.
"I want to eat what you have in your hand." The man smiled and raised an eyebrow at her.
Helpless, Su Yinwan took another piece of meat and held it to his mouth, "Here, are you satisfied?"
Rong Jing opened his mouth and ate it in one bite, then deliberately bit Su Yinwan's fingertip at the end.
The tingling, itchy sensation caused Su Yinwan to tremble slightly for a moment.
She pretended to be calm, looking down at Xiao Xiao and no longer at Rong Jing.
Meanwhile, Assistant Xu finally adjusted the angle of the projector, and the outdoor cinema was finally set up.
Looking at the barbecue party not far away, filled with the aroma of cooking, and then comparing it to my own lonely and helpless situation, it felt like torture.
There's nothing he can do; he's just an employee, the one who gets paid with his palm facing up.
After confirming the venue and equipment were working properly, Assistant Xu walked up to Rong Jing.
"Boss, everything is ready. Is there anything else you need?"
"It's gone."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Just as he turned to walk toward the car, Su Yinwan stopped him.
"Assistant Xu, you've been busy all afternoon, you must be hungry by now. Let's go get some barbecue first. There are also drinks here, just take whichever one you want."
"No, no, no, Madam, I'll just go back to eat." Assistant Xu hurriedly waved his hand, his words and actions clearly indicating his refusal.
"It's okay, just eat here. It's delicious, you should try it."
Su Yinwan picked up a skewer of beef and handed it to him.
Assistant Xu paused for a moment, unsure whether to accept the offer or not.
"Your wife told you to eat here, so eat here. You don't need to go back yet."
Rong Jing, who was standing to the side, finally spoke up.
With a sigh of relief, Assistant Xu accepted the skewers from Su Yinwan's hands with a smile.
"Thank you, ma'am."
After thanking her, he quickly ran over to Sister Yun.
The atmosphere over there might make him feel more relaxed.
"Look at you, always so serious, always with a stern face, making Assistant Xu so restrained."
"Hmm, I only smile at you."
Su Yinwan looked at the arrogant man and shook her head helplessly.
Soon, Assistant Xu was chatting with Sister Yun and the others.
After all, being able to become Rong Jing's capable assistant requires considerable skill.
He made everyone laugh heartily.
When Sister Li learned that Assistant Xu was single and had good personal qualities, she enthusiastically wanted to introduce him to girls.
"Xiao Xu, a man should settle down early. Look at your job now, it's not bad. Find a wife, have a child, and you'll be a winner in life."
"I have a cousin who also works in Chengdu. She's two years younger than you. Why don't you two add each other on WeChat, meet up, and get to know each other?"
"Sister Li, I would like to, but I'm so busy with work right now that I don't have time to date. I'm afraid I'll make things difficult for the other person."
Assistant Xu really wants to find a girlfriend to keep him company and stop living a lonely life.
Since he had become Rong Jing's right-hand man, he had to be ready to serve at any time.
I just wish my wife could stop her boss's crazy overtime work, change him a little, and in the end, treat me better.
