Chapter 356 A Warm Dinner
After chatting for a while in the living room, everyone moved to the dining room for dinner.
The table was laden with a dazzling array of dishes, and every lady could find something she loved to eat, her eyes lighting up.
Chen Tang looked around and began to complain, "Aunt Qin, I've been to this house so many times, I'm not a stranger here anymore. Why aren't my favorite pickled chicken feet served?"
Aunt Qin brought the last dessert to the table, wiping her hands as she said with a smile, "There's no room for it, and besides, there are other dishes you like here."
Chen Tang was still unhappy: "She even has sweet and sour pork with pineapple, which Chen Shi loves. How can she be as diligent as me in running around Tianfu Villa?"
“Chen Shi is a girl,” Aunt Qin said with a smile. “Today, ladies will have priority for dinner.”
As Chen Shi pulled out a chair and sat down in front of the sweet and sour pork with pineapple, she raised her voice and asked, "Chen Tang, how did you know I love sweet and sour pork with pineapple? Are you a peeping tom? When did you start following me?"
Chen Tang pulled out a chair and sat down next to Chen Shi, resting one hand on the back of the chair as he looked at her: "With a memory like mine, do I need to be followed? The first thing you said when you woke up on the deserted island was that you wanted to eat sweet and sour pork with pineapple!"
As they got closer, Chen Tang's face began to unfold before Chen Shi's eyes, and she noticed for the first time that Chen Tang's features were quite striking.
Bright eyes and white teeth, with lively and spirited expressions.
Chen Shi raised an eyebrow: "Thank you so much. You remember even the most trivial things."
Chen Tang realized Chen Shi was teasing him and scoffed, "That just proves I have a good memory!"
He looked at Ye Qingning, who had just sat down opposite him: "Right, sister-in-law? I learned the skateboarding skills you taught me in no time. I have a great memory."
Ye Qingning, who was carefully admiring the dishes, looked up at the table with a somewhat blank expression when she was called upon: "Huh?"
Sitting next to her, Lin Feiyan smiled and poured warm water into her cup: "Don't listen to his nagging, just focus on your food."
Ye Qingning smiled gently and said, "Okay."
Chen Tang huffed, "Hmph!"
Jian Yan, who was intently watching the excitement, suddenly smelled the aroma of spaghetti bolognese. Looking down, she saw Chen Chu handing her a plate of spaghetti bolognese.
"It smells so good," Jian Yan said.
"Try it." Chen Chu handed her a fork: "It's absolutely delicious."
Jian Yan nodded in agreement and obediently went to eat the pasta. It was rich, smooth, and had the aroma of tomatoes. It was indeed delicious.
She gave a thumbs up: "Delicious."
Chen Chu smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more."
Chen Song and Chen Ci, who were sitting alone to the side, exchanged a glance and shrugged helplessly.
The dinner was a pleasant and lively affair, with everyone enjoying themselves. After the meal, Aunt Qin prepared snacks, desserts, fruits, and refreshing fruit tea in the living room, where everyone moved to chat.
Ye Qingning, Jian Yan, and Chen Shi sat together, chatting about everything from domestic pop culture to international scenery, from Xie Linjing's new album to the recently released movie. In short, the three women had endless topics to discuss.
Even as the men urged her to leave, Ye Qingning still clung to Jian Yan and Chen Shi's arms with reluctance: "Why don't you stay and sleep tonight? We can go shopping together tomorrow."
The two women were somewhat tempted, but when they turned to see Lin Feiyan's gaze, they decisively shook their heads: "No, no, let's make it up tomorrow."
Lin Feiyan came over and put his arm around Ye Qingning's shoulder, giving her a gentle smile. Ye Qingning was immediately captivated by the man's handsome and refined appearance: "Okay, let's meet tomorrow."
After seeing everyone off, Lin Feiyan and Ye Qingning turned around and walked back.
Their fingers intertwined, the two walked side by side in the courtyard. The streetlights overhead shone brightly, gently illuminating them and casting long, graceful shadows.
Upon entering the house, the living room lights had been dimmed a few degrees, creating a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.
Lin Feiyan's deep, gentle voice came: "Qingqing, go upstairs to sleep?"
