Chapter 383 A Familiar Taste
Seeing that no one objected, Anzhen went straight to the point: "Then I'll ask you a question. Gentlemen, what is the most attractive thing about your partners?"
When this question was posed, everyone reacted with different expressions.
Fourth brother-in-law looked troubled.
My second brother-in-law writes with lightning speed.
The cold-blooded Yama was leisurely and carefree.
The countdown ended, and Anzhen said, "Okay, time's up. Gentlemen, please show your answer boards."
Fourth brother-in-law: [Not at all.]
Anzhen: "???"
Now let's look at Leng Yanluo: 【Every single point.】
Anzhen gritted her teeth and pinched her husband: "Look at him, you can't even copy the answers properly!"
My fourth brother-in-law chuckled and said, "My eyes are playing tricks on me."
Finally, she looked at her second brother-in-law.
There were three dots on the whiteboard.
Anzhen asked, puzzled, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean by this?"
My brother-in-law spoke with deep affection, his tone growing stronger with each word: "Every single bit, every single bit, every single bit."
The usually confident Leng Yanluo, who was sure he would be the best player on the field, was speechless.
In terms of speaking skills, he is utterly inferior!
Sure enough, the whole room erupted in uproar upon hearing the second brother-in-law's explanation.
"What are you talking about, you seem to be having a great time?"
Suddenly, a deep male voice came from outside.
Quiet:"……"
Her smile froze on her face, and she cursed inwardly, thinking how unlucky she was; she had thought Murong Ting wouldn't be able to make it back.
This guy is even more difficult to deal with than her older sisters.
She quickly moved closer to Leng Yanluo: "My nephew Murong Ting is here. He's a shrewd fellow, so you'd better keep him in check."
Leng Yanluo nodded: "Yes, don't worry."
In the blink of an eye, Murong Ting had already entered the living room, and the three little ones followed behind him, skipping and hopping back.
Anzhen smiled and said, "It's really not easy, the busy man has finally deigned to come back..."
The words stopped abruptly. Anzhen stared at the scar on Murong Ting's forehead, which stretched to the corner of his eye, and asked in surprise, "Tingting, what happened to you? Your handsome face is now covered in a scar."
Apart from Anjing, everyone else looked astonished.
Murong Chen quickly replied, "Auntie, this isn't an ordinary scar. It's a medal of honor for Daddy, earned to save Mommy. Don't you think Daddy looks even more handsome with this scar?"
Kong Chi added, "Now the whole city is calling Daddy a fire hero!"
Anzhen realized that she had also seen the news online a few days ago. She thought it was just some gossip, but she didn't expect it to be true. Thinking about this, she felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously glanced at her older sister Anya.
Anya's face was expressionless. She glanced at the three little ones and finally said indifferently, "It's nothing for a man to have a scar. Sit down and eat first."
Murong Ting nodded and said nothing more.
After pulling out a chair and sitting down, he extended his hand to Leng Yanluo beside him: "Murong Ting."
Leng Yanluo then extended his hand and lowered his voice: "Luo An."
Murong Chen poked his head out and asked curiously, "Wow, are you Auntie's boyfriend? Uncle, your mask is so cool! Can I touch it?"
Anya, fearing to touch upon Leng Yanluo's painful memories, scolded, "Xiao Chen, that's rude. Sit properly."
Murong Chen was still somewhat afraid of this imposing great-aunt, so he immediately sat down obediently with his older brother and sister.
After the three children and Murong Ting sat down, Anya said to Leng Yanluo, "Xiao Luo, these three children are quite lively, please don't mind them."
Leng Yanluo shook his head and said gently, "No, they are very cute."
Fourth brother-in-law went to the kitchen and brought out the rest of the dishes: "Now all the dishes are served, and everyone is here. Eat up, my three darlings. This dish of sweet and sour pork and red bean and osmanthus cake was specially made for you three by Teacher Luo. Come on, have a taste!"
Upon hearing about the sweet and sour pork and red bean osmanthus cake, Kong Ran clapped her hands happily: "Uncle, thank you! We won't be polite then!"
The three children immediately began to devour the food.
However, after taking two bites, Kong Ran realized something was wrong.
Seeing that the adults were chatting enthusiastically and no one was paying attention to the three of them, she tugged at Kong Chi's sleeve and whispered, "Little Chi, don't you think this dish tastes a little familiar?"
Kong Chi nodded: "I also feel it's very familiar."
Kong Ran took another bite, her eyes lighting up: "Wow! This tastes just like my uncle's cooking!"
The two were whispering to each other, and Murong Chen, who couldn't hear them, got anxious and quickly joined in: "Sister Ran, Brother Chi, what are you saying!"
Kong Ran quietly recounted her conversation with Kong Chi to Murong Chen. Murong Chen first exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" and then frowned slightly: "Is that really possible?"
Kong Ran glared at him: "How is that impossible? Little Chenchen, don't let my poor grades fool you, my tongue is incredibly sharp, I won't make a mistake!"
As she spoke, she stole a glance at Leng Yanluo and continued, "Although this person's voice has changed and he seems to be a little taller than my uncle, the more I look at him, the more I feel that he is my uncle. Humph, even if he is not my uncle, he must be very close to him."
“But…” Murong Chen glanced at Leng Yanluo, who was handing An Jing a napkin across from him, and lowered his voice, “If he really is your uncle, why is he wearing a mask and pretending not to know you?”
"I don't know." Kong Ran's face was troubled.
Murong Chen had never met this legendary maternal uncle and didn't know his character. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Is our maternal uncle short of money? If he really is our maternal uncle, then his secretive behavior is definitely an attempt to toy with Auntie's feelings!"
Kong Chi categorically denied it, saying, "Impossible, my uncle isn't that kind of person!"
Kong Ran tugged at Kong Chi's sleeve, giving full affirmation: "Why is it impossible? You can know a person's face but not their heart. No man is a good one. Little Chi, we can't let our uncle's filter blind us. Look at what your scumbag father did to Mommy before, wasn't he awful too!"
Kong Chi was unable to refute.
Murong Chen clenched his little fist and said, "Brother Chi and Sister Ran, no matter what you think, I've never even met this uncle, and he's not even Mommy's biological brother. My aunt is my dear aunt, and I, Murong Chen, absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch her be deceived by a man!"
Kong Ran asked quietly, "Xiao Chenchen, what do you want to do?"
"Whether it's my uncle or not, we'll find out by getting him to take off his mask and take a look. Watch me!"
As he spoke, Murong Chen jumped off the chair with a cup of coconut juice in his hand and walked towards Leng Yanluo.
He raised his little head and said in a serious tone, "Uncle, welcome to our home. Maybe we'll be family in the future. On behalf of my two siblings and me, I'd like to toast you!"
Murong Chen acted like a little adult, which amused the adults.
A hint of a smile flashed in Leng Yanluo's eyes. He picked up his cup, lightly clinked it against his, and patted his head, saying, "Thank you. Please take care of me in the future."
Murong Chen waved her hand and said, "Of course, of course."
