Chapter 96: Heading to Hong Kong! (1/2)



Shen Jingnian disliked the kitchen.

I also hate the smell of cooking fumes.

A real man should be able to strategize and command in the marketplace or on the battlefield!

What kind of thing is it to be relegated to the kitchen?

Neglecting one's proper duties!

Knowing his uncle's personality, Yun Haotian stopped trying to persuade him after hearing this answer. "Alright, alright, then I'll go to the kitchen with my dad first."

Yun Zhengyi looked at Shen Jingnian and said, "Jingnian, cooking is not a sign of self-degradation. Maybe when you have someone you like in the future, you'll want to cook soup and meals for her yourself."

“Brother-in-law, you are you, and I am me. I can’t guarantee what will happen to others, but I will never become the kind of person you’re talking about.”

Yun Zhengyi shrugged. "That's hard to say."

Who can guarantee what will happen tomorrow and the day after?

Shen Jingnian sat down on the sofa. "Facts speak louder than words."

Yun Zhengyi nodded. "That's right. Jingnian, you'd better not mess things up, or I'll really laugh at you."

"And me," Old Madam Shen added, "I won't just laugh at you, I'll laugh at you loudly!"

“Me too!” Shen Jingshu added.

"Meow!" Even the little white dog lying on the sofa let out a meow.

"I'm sorry, you probably won't be able to see this," Shen Jingnian said, walking to the sofa and picking up Xiaobai. "You unfilial son, you still know how to come back?"

I bent down and smelled it.

very good.

It still smells familiar.

Shen Jingnian hugged Xiaobai tighter.

Yun Zhengyi and Yun Haotian's cooking skills were indeed excellent; during the meal, Old Madam Shen praised them endlessly.

Even someone as picky as Shen Jingnian praised him a few times.

After finishing the meal, Madam Shen seemed to remember something and continued, "By the way, Jing Shuzheng, if you three are free on Saturday, remember to come home."

"Saturday?" Shen Jingshu continued, "Mom, I'm going to get a facial on Saturday, so I won't have time to come home."

"Grandma, I have plans to go racing with my friends on Saturday, so I won't have time to come back. Is there anything important you need me for?"

"I've invited Ningning to come over to play," said Madam Shen.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingshu quickly replied, "I have time, I have time."

Yun Haotian also stopped racing. "I have time now, and I can show my skills to Father Jiang on Saturday."

Shen Jingnian silently picked up her phone and sent a message: 【All schedules for Saturday are cancelled.】

After sending the message, he put his phone back on the table.

He kept his achievements and fame hidden.

When the secretary saw Shen Jingnian's WeChat message, she thought she was hallucinating.

Cancel all Saturday plans?

all?

He has been working at the Shen Group for three years.

Shen Jingnian has never canceled any of his trips without a valid reason!

What's wrong with me today?

Has Ninth Master forgotten that he has a very important contract to sign on Saturday?

Thinking of this, his secretary sent him a WeChat message: "[Ninth Master, there's a contract that needs to be sent over for your review on Saturday.]"

My phone vibrated.

Shen Jingnian picked up her phone again and replied with two words: 【Postponed.】

Although it was only two words, it still made the secretary break out in a cold sweat and dare not send any more messages to Shen Jingnian.

This time, Shen Jingnian didn't turn off his phone directly. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't posted on WeChat Moments for several days, so he immediately switched his phone to camera mode and took a picture of the food on the table.

Caption: [Dinner.]

Just like last time, this post on WeChat Moments received many likes and comments as soon as it was published.

Shen Jingshu happened to be browsing her WeChat Moments at that same time.

Seeing Shen Jingnian's WeChat Moments, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Jingnian, I remember you never used to post on WeChat Moments, but recently you've posted two in a row. Do you really have someone you like?"

Madam Shen asked excitedly, "Who? You brat, who do you like? Is it Ningning?"

Upon hearing the name 'Ningning,' Shen Jingnian's breath hitched, but he still tried his best to remain calm and composed, maintaining his cool and self-possessed demeanor. "When people reach a certain age, they automatically unlock some hobbies, such as listening to opera or practicing Tai Chi. Is that strange?"

Yun Haotian nodded, "That's true. I didn't like practicing Tai Chi before, but now I really enjoy it."

Shen Jingshu narrowed her eyes, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

Madam Shen's temper instantly deflated; she had thought the boy had finally come to his senses!

Unexpected!

"Will you be back on Saturday?" Old Madam Shen then asked.

"Maybe." Shen Jingnian picked up the silver spoon and took a sip of soup.

"I'm warning you," Old Madam Shen was determined to matchmake Shen Jingnian and Jiang Ning. After all, she had even learned to swim for her beloved daughter-in-law, whereas she used to be a complete landlubber! "The whole family will be home that day. If you dare not come home, I'll smash your head in."

Shen Jingnian turned to look at Madam Shen, looking reluctant, "Since you want me to come back so much, I'll try my best."

After saying that, Shen Jingnian put down the silver spoon. "Mom, brother-in-law, sister, I'm finished eating. I'm going upstairs now."

"Get out of here!" Old Madam Shen waved her hand. "I'm annoyed just looking at you."

No one noticed that after Shen Jingnian turned around, a faint smile appeared on his thin lips.

--

Saturday arrived quickly.

Jiang Ning arrived at the Shen family home as promised.

She brought flowers, fruit, and a box of tea.

Madam Shen came out to greet her personally. Seeing that she was carrying so many things, she couldn't help but scold her, "Ningning, you child, I'm already very happy that you came to visit. Why did you bring so many things?"

Jiang Ning smiled faintly, "It's just a small token of my appreciation, Auntie, please don't be so polite."

Shen Jingnian walked to Jiang Ning's side and lowered his voice, "Let me take it."

"Okay." Jiang Ning handed the things to Shen Jingnian.

As soon as Shen Jingnian took the things, he looked at Jiang Ning with some surprise.

Nothing more.

This was because these things were much heavier than he had imagined. He saw Jiang Ning lift them up and they seemed light, so he thought they weren't heavy at all!

It seems so.

What he saw of Miss Jiang was just the tip of the iceberg.

Shen Jingshu, Yun Zhengyi, and Yun Haotian and his family of three also came out of the house.

"Ningning is here."

"Father Jiang!"

"Miss Jiang."

A family of three, with three different names.

Jiang Ning walked to Shen Jingshu's side, "Sister Shen, brother-in-law, Haotian."

Shen Jingshu liked hearing Jiang Ning call her that; it made her feel several years younger!

"Ningning, let's go inside quickly. I have something to tell you. Recently, the chef at home has developed several new desserts that you're sure to like!"

Madam Shen quickly caught up with the two of them, "Wait for me, Jing Shu, Ning Ning, wait for me."

Autumn has arrived.

The back garden has a beautiful view.

Therefore, Shen Jingshu suggested going to the back garden to drink tea and enjoy the scenery.

Jiang Ning naturally agreed.
