"How was it? How did Mom's soup taste?"
Li Shuwen couldn't wait to get Yan Xiluo's opinion. For her first meal back home, Li Shuwen personally cooked some dishes, but it was the first time she had ever made soup.
She looked at Yan Xiluo expectantly.
"Mmm, it's delicious! I like the original flavor."
Her subtext was telling Li Shuwen that she had forgotten to add salt, but she did indeed like to drink soup without salt.
It suited her taste quite well. According to the family chef's rule for making soup, salt and seasonings are always added, so she was sure her dear mother had forgotten to add salt.
Yan Xiluo happily finished a bowl in one gulp, and then had another bowl added.
"The original flavor? Mom, try it and see if it tastes bad?"
Li Shuwen was suspicious. Did she not add any seasoning?
She picked up the bowl and took a small sip. Oh! She really forgot to add salt…
But because the corn and carrots are sweet, the soup tastes quite good.
"Hehe, Mom forgot to add salt, but it tastes sweet and is actually quite good. But Luo Luo, eat more rice and vegetables, and fill your stomach with soup, and you'll be full soon."
It was rare to see Yan Xiluo drink a second bowl of soup; it seemed her daughter preferred soup without any seasoning.
"Okay, sure."
Yan Xiluo started picking up food and eating, not forgetting to pick up some for Lan Jingyan as well.
"Auntie's soup is really delicious."
He definitely needs to please his future mother-in-law.
"Jingyan, drink as much as you like, but don't forget to eat your meals."
As she spoke, Li Shuwen personally served him some food.
"It really tastes great! Mom, your cooking skills have improved!"
Yan Yinran also praised it, saying that Li Shuwen's soup was also very delicious before, but this was the first time she had tasted the original flavor, which had a unique taste.
She couldn't resist finishing the drink in one gulp and immediately started eating.
Li Shuwen looked at the three children in front of her with loving eyes, feeling satisfied with the praise she received.
"Wen'er, thank you for your hard work. It's been a long time since I've asked you to cook."
Yan Youting felt sorry for her cooking, because she thought that girls love beauty the most, and cooking with oil fumes and such would damage their skin.
"As long as everyone enjoys the meal, that's what matters. Look how much the children are eating!"
Li Shuwen looked at the group with a smile, and made sure to serve them food, urging them to eat more.
"Dad, Mom, Ayan, I forgot to tell you, I have to go to F country on a business trip tomorrow. I just remembered."
She's been so busy these past few days that she almost forgot she needed to re-adjust the perfume she was developing before sending it for testing to ensure it passed inspection.
In addition, someone placed an order with her for a private custom perfume, which required her to understand the customer's needs in person.
She hadn't planned to take on any private commissions recently, but she was moved by the client's love story and sincerity.
It is said that this man specially commissioned a unique perfume for his wife to represent true love and commemorate their 25 years of love.
"You've only been back for a few days, and Luo Luo is already so busy..."
Li Shuwen felt somewhat frustrated, feeling that her daughter was always busy and she couldn't help her much.
"Who can blame us when our daughter is so outstanding in every way? Of course she's a very busy person!"
He knew that Yan Xiluo had many identities, and each identity required her to handle certain matters. He was proud of her.
"Baby, how about I go with you?"
Lan Jingyan frowned deeply. He almost panicked. How long had it been since they returned from F country? The situation there was too dangerous, and he was worried about leaving her alone.
In their haste, they forgot about their elders, and that's how the two of them started calling each other by their usual nicknames.
This caused the other three people's expressions to freeze.
Li Shuwen: These are words that Jingyan could actually say? This completely changed her understanding and perception of Lan Jingyan.
Yan Youting: I didn't expect this kid to be so open in front of us, he's actually quite good at it!
Yan Yinran: Ha... Brother-in-law, this is too...? ? ? I can't think of any words to describe it...
Looking at the expressions of Li Shuwen, Yan Youting, and Yan Yinran, Yan Xiluo felt like she was going to die again.
Yan Xiluo: Should I dig a hole and bury him? He's the one who made me feel awkward! No, no, no, as long as I'm not awkward, he's the one who's awkward! He's the one who said it!
Lan Jingyan realized he had spoken without thinking; he had blurted out what was on his mind in his haste. Seeing the subtle changes in the expressions of the three people, he glanced at Yan Xiluo beside him…
For the first time, he felt a little embarrassed!
"Hehe, look how gentle Jingyan is with Luoluo, so sweet! My darling daughter, why don't you let Jingyan go with you? It would be so nice to go on a date!"
Li Shuwen reacted the quickest; she's definitely into shipping couples!
She really wanted their relationship to grow stronger and more stable so that there wouldn't be any more unexpected changes!
The main reason is that a man who is such a perfect match for Yan Xiluo is hard to find even with a lantern.
Furthermore, they know the Lan family inside and out, and are completely at ease with them in all aspects.
Of course, if Lan Jingyan treats her daughter badly, she will fight back and teach him a lesson for her daughter, even if it means breaking off all ties.
"Okay, then you have to take Nuannuan with you!"
Yan Xiluo blinked her big eyes at Lan Jingyan. Nuannuan was their baby, and she didn't want to leave it in the country.
"Of course, Xie Xun will bring it over in a bit. I'll pick you and your daughter up on my private jet tomorrow."
When he was happy, Lan Jingyan slipped up again; he couldn't help but say what was on his mind!
This caused Li Shuwen and Yan Youting to exchange bewildered glances.
"Nuannuan? Mother and daughter?"
What did she miss? She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Mom, Ayan and I bought a kitten today. We plan to raise it together. The kitten is a girl, and I named her Nuannuan."
Speaking of this, she really missed that little guy—snow-white, soft, and so cuddly! She loved him so much!
And the eyes are warm and beautiful, one blue and one brown.
"Oh, it's a cat! Then I must be Nuannuan's grandma! Is Nuannuan's little nest ready? If not, Mom will place an order right away and have someone come and prepare it."
Li Shuwen also likes small animals, but she has never kept one. She strongly supports Yan Xiluo in keeping a cat.
“They sent it over during the day. I had Aunt Hong and Aunt Xiu sign for it and set it up.”
She even ordered the yarn for Nuannuan to knit a sweater for winter. Nuannuan is a beginner and was afraid she wouldn't do it well, so she ordered it in advance to try it herself.
She doesn't have much time and is worried that she won't have enough.
"That's good. We'll see the little guy soon."
She wanted to see what a cute girl Nuannuan looked like.
"Haha, so I've become a grandfather?"
Although he wasn't interested in keeping cats, he fully supported his beloved daughter's desire to have one.
"Then I'll be an aunt!"
Yan Yinran was also very happy. It was obvious that she was growing to like Yan Xiluo more and more and was becoming more and more accepting of her.
Seeing her parents so happy, she could almost imagine that if she really had children in the future, her parents would love them even more.
She felt so happy living in this family, just like she used to live in the Lin family.
She couldn't make it back to the Lin family last time, so she plans to definitely go back to the Lin family after returning from F country this time, and she will also take Nuannuan back with her!
Not long after dinner, Xie Xun brought Nuan Nuan over.
The whole family gathered around it, enjoying themselves immensely; the living room was filled with laughter and joy.
It's clear that everyone really likes Nikki.
