When Fan Xiaofan returned to the Fan family, Shi Lingheng arrived shortly afterward.
Grandma Fan was conflicted; she wanted to stop them, but she was also afraid of jeopardizing her granddaughter's good marriage. Now that the two were discussing serious matters, she felt even more reluctant to intervene.
Shi Lingheng handed the prepared document to Fan Xiaofan and said, "The ingredient ratios inside are the ones I tested."
Fan Xiaofan's eyes lit up instantly: "So fast?"
Shi Lingheng felt instantly comfortable under that admiring gaze and humbly replied, "It's just some seasonings, of course it'll be ready quickly."
He glanced smugly at Shi's father and mother. Yesterday they had said they needed their help to come to the Fan family, but today he had important business to attend to.
Shi's father and mother chuckled twice, "Who cares about you?"
Oh my, my dear grandson looks so adorable eating an apple. Luckily, Grandma Fan has an old-fashioned black and white camera at home, so she specially dug it out to take pictures of Fu Weidong.
Perhaps it was because of their bloodline, but when his father and mother first came, Fu Weidong was still quite unfamiliar with them. However, now he gets along very well with them.
Fan Xiaofan wanted to see the ingredients, so Shi Lingheng followed her to the study that had been specially set up for her upstairs. Grandma Fan's eyes followed the two of them the whole time. Grandpa Fan tugged at her helplessly and said, "Let the children's affairs take their natural course. Otherwise, keeping them around will only lead to resentment."
Grandma Fan pinched him. Although she knew the logic was sound, she just couldn't bring herself to do it emotionally...
As soon as Fu Weidong saw Shi Lingheng and Fan Xiaofan go upstairs, he secretly slipped up as well, pretending to go to the restroom.
Hmph, Shi Lingheng has ulterior motives; he must protect his sister...
The little boy found the study with practiced ease, peeking inside to see what was happening and listening to the sounds. He realized his older sister was talking about serious business with Shi Lingheng and didn't want to disturb her, so he simply squatted down in the corner and started drawing circles...
Once they finished discussing their business, he took his sister away...
Fu Weidong's idea was perfect.
Little did he know that the two people inside the room had seen him peeking around through the mirror on the table. The two adults exchanged a glance and couldn't help but suppress their laughter.
Shi Lingheng and Fan Xiaofan gave a simple explanation of the ingredients, but there wasn't much to explain. He just wanted to find some time alone.
After all, the ingredient list is all in Chinese, which anyone can understand. And it's quite obvious that Fan Xiaofan won't make it himself; he'll find someone else to do it...
So, in just a few words, the discussion about the ingredients was over. Fan Xiaofan winked at Shi Lingheng, her eyes darting around, and said with a smile, "Let's go and give him a surprise..."
She was referring to the little dumpling who was now squatting at the door drawing circles.
Shi Lingheng chuckled and shook his head, giving a permissive "hmm." Then, Fan Xiaofan tiptoed to the door and suddenly appeared in front of Fu Weidong with a "whoosh"...
She had a lot of fun.
Fu Weidong also acted as if he was frightened.
But as they passed through her body, Fu Weidong and Shi Lingheng exchanged glances, their expressions conveying the same message: "As long as she's having fun..."
Honestly, how could I possibly be scared by such a childish game...?
Moreover, Fu Weidong had undergone Shi Lingheng's grueling training. Fan Xiaofan was quite satisfied with his performance and startled him. Then, she tapped his nose and asked, "Weren't you downstairs with your elders? Why did you come up?"
Shi Lingheng rolled his eyes. What else could it be? He was being stared at...
