Yan Youting and Li Shuwen were also in the backyard, mainly chatting with a few girls and getting to know each other better.
What's gratifying is that all four of her sons have found girlfriends who are very talented and easy to get along with.
She saw that the girls got along very well, even though it was basically the first time they had met.
Yan Yinran got along well with them, and to avoid making Yan Qirui seem too aloof, she thoughtfully sat next to him.
This also saves Li Shuwen from noticing and criticizing Yan Qirui again.
"Oh my, these two are always so lovey-dovey! Did they sneak off to kiss again?"
With a mischievous grin, Chen Nanxing asked Yan Xiluo, then pulled her to sit down next to him.
"What?! Where is it?!"
Yan Xiluo's mind went blank for a moment. Sure enough, nothing could escape her sharp eyes, and she couldn't have guessed this either.
"Okay, okay! No, is my little Luo Luo getting shy?"
Seeing her shy expression, Chen Nanxing became even more mischievous.
Back then on set, she was practically eating dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) every day! She knew exactly how lovey-dovey the two of them were.
"It's alright! Not really. If you keep nagging, you'll be sleeping with my second brother tonight, don't come to my bed!"
Yan Xiluo threatened angrily, knowing that Chen Nanxing would fall for this trick.
"..." Chen Nanxing immediately made an "X" gesture in front of her mouth and shut up.
Yan Xiluo took on the role of head chef, as she had just said she would show off her barbecue skills tonight.
"Baby, I'll be with you."
Lan Jingyan offered to help. The charcoal fire was so hot that Yan Xiluo was sweating profusely, her face flushed. Even though the fan was blowing on her, the sweat kept pouring down.
"Why don't you sit down? I'm worried you'll get your white shirt dirty."
Lan Jingyan had just taken off her coat, leaving her only in a white shirt underneath.
Putting aside the possibility that the smell of charcoal smoke might make the clothes stink, the biggest fear is that it will get dirty.
"A white shirt won't hurt."
Lan Jingyan smiled warmly, trying to do more work so that she wouldn't be too tired, as she was already exhausted this afternoon.
"Alright then, if you get it dirty, I'll make you a new one!"
Yan Xiluo picked up a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then his neck.
"I'd love for you to make me a new one; it would be totally worth getting this white shirt all dirty, wouldn't it?"
Lan Jingyan was overjoyed; he couldn't be happier to get his clothes dirty than to enjoy such a good thing.
What she made herself is worth many times more than what he's wearing.
"Are you stupid? If you want it, I'll prepare it for you."
A piece of clothing can make him this happy? He's so easy to please!
“I feel sorry for you, so I don’t say anything. I’m afraid that you finally have time to rest, and then you’ll have to go through all this trouble for me.”
She has had so little free time these days, not even enough to rest, so how could he possibly take up her time and make her do other things?
"Your business is my business, and my business is a big deal."
Yan Xiluo handed him the first skewer of grilled meat, making him the first to taste it.
Then he gave the non-spicy skewers to Yan Zhiguo and Liao Yufang, letting them try a little, but not too much, just to satisfy their cravings.
Then he gave some to Li Shuwen and Yan Youting, and placed the rest in front of his brothers and sisters-in-law.
"Ah Yan, I think I'm missing a hat for my chef dishes, right? That would make me look more like a barbecue skewer chef?"
Yan Xiluo playfully twisted her neck, mimicking the movements quite well.
"Looks like you're not tired enough."
Lan Jingyan smiled indulgently. Seeing how energetic she still was, he realized that his earlier concern about her being tired was completely unnecessary.
"It's not too tiring, after all, I've trained before, and my stamina is still good."
Yan Xiluo then took a handful of squid and beef and grilled them at the same time.
The other brothers and sisters-in-law also pitched in, but the presentation wasn't particularly good, and the taste was a bit off.
In the end, Yan Xiluo sent them all back to sit down.
"Sister, can you teach me how to grill skewers? I think it's so interesting."
Yan Yinran walked away from Yan Qirui and excitedly went to Yan Xiluo's side, saying that she really wanted to learn, because she had burned it last time...
Yan Xi paused, suddenly thinking of Bai Jingquan's affair, and realized that Yan Yinran had been deliberately sent to the Yan family.
Yan Yinran seemed perfectly normal these past two days, not at all like she was faking it, but she was still scared and felt a little uncomfortable.
"……good."
Yan Xiluo finally agreed and nodded.
Yan Yinran could also sense Yan Xiluo's coldness towards her these past two days. She was a little confused, wondering if she had done something wrong again, and why Yan Xiluo was being so cold to her...
But she didn't dare ask, afraid that she was overthinking things and that Yan Xiluo would find her annoying...
Throughout the entire process, Yan Xiluo rarely said anything other than teaching her how to grill, brush on oil and sauce.
"Sister, would you like to try some? This is my first time successfully grilling skewers."
Yan Yinran's smile was so genuine; there wasn't a trace of affectation in it.
Yan Xiluo accepted the skewers without hesitation, and subconsciously smiled at her as well.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Yinran happily shared her joy with the others while holding the skewers.
To be honest, she hasn't learned many things over the years; you could count them on your fingers. Even cutting fruit and making fruit platters is rather...unskilled.
She's just been pampered too much...
"Mmm, Ranran's baking is also very good!"
Mu Ran praised her, nodding repeatedly and giving her a thumbs up.
Mu Ran witnessed Yan Xiluo teaching Yan Yinran, and she knew that Yan Yinran was still learning, as she was just beginning her apprenticeship.
She took a bite and realized it was still far inferior to Yan Xiluo's cooking. To keep her from being upset, she even offered her encouragement.
"Ranran made this herself! Second brother, you should try some too! It's a rare treat!"
Yan Chenyu gratefully accepted the skewers and began to eat them with relish. Although they weren't particularly amazing, they were still tasty enough to be palatable.
"This is what my sister just taught me! A good teacher produces excellent students, even though I'm still a newbie, hehe!"
Yan Yinran said somewhat embarrassedly that Yan Xiluo had taught her step by step, and if she were to bake it again now, she might forget how...
"Oh, so you had a master guiding you! Hehe!"
Yan Mingxuan joked, then glanced at Yan Xiluo who was grilling skewers.
Yan Mingxuan stood up and patted Yan Yinran's head. Then he went to find a glass of juice that Yan Xiluo liked best and handed it to her.
Since Yan Xiluo didn't have a free hand to take it, Yan Mingxuan affectionately placed a straw in the cup, held it in his hand, and let Yan Xiluo drink from it.
"Thank you, big brother! Why don't you go and keep Sister Ran company?"
