Chapter 169 Chopping Wood to Call Brother-in-Law for Dinner, Jealous
The axe missed its target, and the firewood above it was shaken to the ground.
Murong Ting remained silent.
Lin Cheng, who was standing next to him, was also stunned.
After a long pause, he tentatively asked, "Young Master Ting, you should know what chopping wood means—chopping firewood, not chopping wood blocks, right?"
Seeing Murong Ting's piercing gaze, Lin Cheng quickly stepped forward and placed the scattered firewood on the stool: "Young Master Ting, do you see this? This is firewood."
Murong Ting gritted his teeth and said, "Do I need you to tell me?"
Lin Cheng coughed lightly: "I thought you didn't understand."
He pointed to the firewood and said, "You chop it, you chop it."
Murong Ting rolled his eyes at him, then looked at Kong Wange cooking in the kitchen and deliberately coughed loudly.
Chopping wood is such a manly action that should be properly showcased.
Unfortunately, Kong Wange didn't even spare him a glance.
Having made a fool of himself, Murong Ting could only continue chopping wood by himself.
After the first strike, he clearly found the pattern and quickly reached the point where he could strike with divine skill.
Seeing the firewood being successfully split piece by piece, Lin Cheng deliberately exclaimed loudly, "Hey, Young Master Ting, you split this firewood so well! Look how neat and orderly the splits are!"
"Snap," another one.
"Young Master Ting, you're really strong! You're a real workhorse!"
Lin Cheng deliberately showered the kitchen with compliments, while Murong Ting, listening nearby, gave him a look towards Yan Su's room.
Lin Cheng immediately understood and raised his voice: "Oh my, Young Master Ting, you're so diligent! Why haven't we seen the other five come out to help? Are you still sleeping in? Sigh, Madam, look at you, our Young Master Ting really knows how to take care of people!"
After he said that, Kong Wange in the kitchen finally reacted.
She carried out a basin of water used for washing vegetables and poured it into the flower bed next to her. She then said to Lin Cheng, "I'm divorced from your young master Ting. Don't call me 'young mistress' anymore."
After saying that, she went back to the kitchen without looking back.
Lin Cheng: "...It's over, Young Master Ting. Judging from the attitude of the young mistress who wants to distance herself from you as much as possible, your efforts are not enough."
Murong Ting: "..."
Seeing Kong Wange return to the kitchen, he tapped on his phone and chatted with An Jing, then gave Lin Cheng a wink.
Lin Cheng understood, gave an OK sign, and then deliberately ran to the kitchen door and clung to the door frame: "Former young mistress, I have some gossip I'd like to hear?"
Kong Wange was speechless for a moment upon hearing this form of address, glanced at him, and said directly, "I don't want to."
Lin Cheng: "..."
Undeterred, he stepped forward and said, "It's about five sixes."
After he finished speaking, he remembered that Kong Wange didn't know who "five sixes" was, so he quickly explained, "It's Yan Su!"
Kong Wange then turned to look at him: "About Yan Su?"
Seeing that Kong Wange seemed to have taken a liking to him, Lin Cheng quickly nodded and said mysteriously, "Former young mistress, you know what? There's actually a beautiful girl who's been pursuing him all along!"
Kong Wange thought Lin Cheng was going to say something, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but feel a little disheartened and said, "You mean this? I know."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to cooking.
Lin Cheng: "?"
He turned his head and mouthed to Murong Ting, "The young mistress knows!"
Murong Ting paused, threw down the axe and stepped forward: "Wanwan, since you know, you should stay away from those five sixes. He's a scumbag who's two-timing you!"
Kong Wange paused slightly, then scoffed, "You're just playing both sides, but you can get on and off whenever you want."
"And you two grown men, can you stop being so childish and give people nicknames?"
After saying that, she turned her head away, too lazy to pay him any more attention.
Murong Ting was speechless.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but exclaim, "Young Master Ting, when it comes to metaphors, it's still the young mistress who knows how to use them. Look at this description, how apt it is!"
Without saying a word, Murong Ting raised his leg and kicked Lin Cheng in the butt.
Kong Wange, oblivious to their interaction, glanced at Murong Ting beside her after several dishes were cooked and asked, "Have you finished chopping the firewood?"
Upon hearing Kong Wange's question about firewood, Murong Ting immediately moved aside to show off, saying, "Look, it's all chopped!"
A row of neatly chopped firewood was stacked in the corner.
Kong Wange glanced at it casually and said perfunctorily, "Hmm, not bad. Go and call Yan Su out for dinner."
Murong Ting frowned: "Should I go call him?"
Kong Wange raised her eyebrows slightly: "Did I wrong you? Never mind, I'll do it myself..."
Before he could finish speaking, Murong Ting immediately said, "No problem, I'll go!"
Just kidding, how could he possibly give Kong Wange the chance to be alone with five sixes!
After saying that, he turned and walked towards Yan Su's room.
Kong Wange shook her head as she watched his retreating figure, then carried several dishes into the courtyard.
South room.
When Murong Ting entered, Yan Su had already gotten up and was sitting on the bed trying to wake up.
Upon seeing him arrive, he raised an eyebrow: "Oh, Brother Ting, you're here early. Are you sober now?"
Murong Ting didn't feel anything was wrong if this matter wasn't brought up, but it gave him a headache as soon as it was.
However, his facial expressions were extremely well-controlled, and he appeared as calm as ever.
He said coldly, "Dinner's ready. Wanwan and I cooked it together."
Yan Su hummed in agreement, got up and walked to his side, patted him on the shoulder: "President Ting, I have to say, your trick of pretending to be drunk and expressing your feelings through alcohol yesterday was really brilliant. It's just a pity that it's too late to turn back now. Xiao Ge'er doesn't fall for your tricks."
He still doesn't think Murong Ting is really drunk; on the contrary, he believes it's a tactic he's using to win back Xiao Ge'er.
Murong Ting's aura was cold and imposing. He sneered, "My method doesn't work, but yours will? Let me tell you, don't waste your time. I have two sons, and you only have one daughter. Just in terms of the number of children, I can easily crush you!"
Yan Su was stunned upon hearing this.
daughter?
Yan Su: "???"
Looking at Murong Ting, he had a completely bewildered expression.
After a long while, he sighed softly, pointed his index finger at Murong Ting's head, shook it in front of him, and then turned to go to the courtyard to wash up.
There's a saying, oh, don't argue with idiots.
Will bring wisdom.
...
After a busy morning, breakfast is finally ready.
Several people sat around a small stone table in the courtyard.
Kong Wange brought out the dishes one by one, and soon the table was full.
In the center is a bowl of sweet porridge, surrounded by a few simple side dishes, and in the upper right corner is a plate of fragrant egg pancakes.
Yan Heli took a bite of the porridge and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, who would have thought that Xiao Ge'er, who hated cooking when she was a child, could cook such delicious food one day?"
Kong Wange smiled and said, "People change. What you didn't like before, you might like now, and what you liked before, you might hate now."
Upon hearing this, Murong Ting, who was standing next to him, paused.
Does Wanwan mean that she used to like me, but now... she doesn't?
He glanced at Yan Su subconsciously and saw him considerately peeling several shrimp and placing them in Kong Wange's bowl.
