Although Sun Shanshan occasionally threw a tantrum these past few days, she didn't dare to do anything to make things difficult for Yan Xiluo. After all, she couldn't win in a direct confrontation, so she could only suppress her dissatisfaction.
"Ah Yan~ It's such a pity that we haven't had a proper seafood meal in the coastal city these past few days..."
Yan Xiluo lazily lay on Lan Jingyan's lap, while Lan Jingyan sat on the bed looking at documents.
Because of her period, Lan Jingyan didn't let her eat too much raw, cold, or spicy food.
Now that it's finally over, she wants to indulge in a seafood feast today.
"Q City has a lot of seafood too. It's a coastal city as well, so let's eat whatever we want."
Lan Jingyan stroked her head, looking down with a doting smile, before putting down the documents in his hand.
"But I don't really like the food in Q City. It's too bland. You know I love spicy food. I'm afraid I won't be able to adjust to the local climate when I first arrive."
This was her first time in Q City. She had just sat and chatted with Chen Nanxing on the plane, and Chen Nanxing had talked to her about the local food preferences. Chen Nanxing had stayed here for a while when she was rehearsing a dance drama, and she hadn't gotten used to it either.
"Moreover, we don't have much time to cook, as our work schedules are becoming increasingly packed."
Due to time constraints, the original five-day filming period in Q City was reduced to three days.
They said it was because Director Liu had to go back for two days.
“Baby, this isn’t something you should worry about. I’ve already hired a chef. I know you haven’t been eating well these past few days. I specially invited him over to improve your meals. Besides, he can make snail rice noodles, and they’re quite authentic. My mom has invited him to our house to cook several times.”
Lan Jingyan coaxed Yan Xiluo like a child.
"Luosifen (river snail rice noodles)? Really?"
Yan Xiluo jumped up and sat up happily. Thinking she had misheard, she asked again.
"Absolutely! I've never lied to you. Besides, my mom called me herself to say that her personal chef would be assigned to you to improve your meals."
Chen Xi also cared a lot about Yan Xiluo; in just one week, she had made more than a dozen phone calls to inquire about Yan Xiluo's well-being.
Why did Auntie suddenly assign me a chef?
This piqued her curiosity, especially since it was her personal chef?
“Have you forgotten the time I asked her how to make brown sugar water? She knows you haven’t been eating well during this special period, and she knows you’re craving something sweet. She said she’s been through the same thing, so she understands what you’re thinking. I was just wondering where to find a chef who can make snail rice noodles, and then my mom called.”
When Lan Jingyan was chatting with Chen Xi, she mentioned that Yan Xiluo loved snail rice noodles, and Chen Xi felt as if she had found a kindred spirit.
Yesterday she was enthusiastically recommending her personal chef, saying he makes amazing snail rice noodles and other dishes very well too.
"I didn't expect the aunt to care about me so much. It warms my heart. It's so nice."
"That's true. Before we were together, we wouldn't talk on the phone more than a few times a year. But in the week we went to T City, she called me as many times as she had in the past few years. The first thing she asked was how Luo Luo was doing. Was Luo Luo okay? Was Luo Luo having a hard time? She was always asking about you."
His smile carried a hint of helplessness; he even felt like he might have been adopted, but seeing his mother so devoted to the person he loved made him feel wonderful.
"Why didn't your aunt come to me directly?"
Yan Xiluo was a little confused, because she and Chen Xijia were friends!
"My mom said she's worried that if she talks too much, she'll bother you and scare you away. What should I do?"
Mainly, she was a little embarrassed, afraid that Yan Xiluo would think she was acting strangely, but Lan Jingyan didn't say it all because Chen Xi wouldn't let her.
"Pfft~ Auntie is so cute! I'll just take the initiative to chat with her from now on."
As soon as Yan Xiluo finished speaking, she swiped to her chat page with Chen Xi.
With her hand still on the phone screen, she secretly sent a message to Chen Xi, deliberately not letting Lan Jingyan see it; she wanted to keep a little mystery.
Lan Jingyan also noticed that Chen Xi was the person she was chatting with, but she didn't pay much attention to it and thought it was fine as long as they were happy.
"We finally have a day off, how about having your second brother and Chen Nanxing have dinner with us? The chef will be here soon."
For the past few days, everyone was busy with their own things, and Yan Xiluo basically had no chance to eat with Yan Chenyu.
"Great! That's exactly what I was thinking. As for the ingredients..."
It seems like the chef is only responsible for cooking, right? Do I need to buy the ingredients myself?
"The ingredients have been airlifted over; someone will bring them up shortly."
This time, they didn't stay in a hotel, but rented a villa next to the film crew's hotel, and Yan Chenyu and Chen Nanxing also moved in together.
"Everything was arranged! That's fantastic!"
She really doesn't know where she found a man who takes care of everything, he's so easy to manage.
“Baby, you’re becoming more and more like a child. You’re a little different now than when we first met you.”
Of course, he knew that Yan Xiluo would only act this way in front of him.
"Isn't that because you've raised me like a child? I feel like I'm becoming more and more dependent on you? I'm turning into a little useless person."
Because Lan Jingyan made her feel very safe, she was willing to rely on her.
"Then just keep clinging to me, you little good-for-nothing, you're mine too."
He knew that although Yan Xiluo said that, she was an independent person with her own opinions.
These days, in addition to teaching dance classes and acting as a dance instructor, she also manages some business at her company and sometimes needs to draw design drafts.
She didn't use her free time to play or rest, but instead planned out everything she wanted to do.
"Oh, right, I just remembered something. My parents told me that my aunt married into the Su family in F City. Aren't we going there in a few days? Do you think I should go and visit her? After all, I've been back for so long. My parents said that my aunt had been wanting to come and see me, but I was very busy and traveling around, so I couldn't let her come."
She was indeed often away from home during that period, and even when she was home, it was usually during her rest time in the evening.
Therefore, Yan Youting and Li Shuwen did not allow Yan Chuxiao to come to City A, since City A and City F are too far apart, even farther than City B.
"If you have extra time, you can give her a visit. After all, we're already in F City, and it wouldn't be right not to visit her if we had the chance. Besides, you haven't met your aunt yet, right?"
City A is in the north, and City F is in the south; one is at the beginning and the other at the end. It would be best to visit them when you have time.
"Okay, I'll call Auntie when I have time."
She thought so too. Although she had never met Yan Chuxiao, he often transferred money to her, sent her gifts to the Yan family, and video chatted with her frequently.
