Seeing Qiu Mengyun come in, Xia Tian asked in surprise: "Why are you here? Did my mom ask you those embarrassing questions again?"
Qiu Mengyun shook her head: "No, I came here on my own this time."
"I want to see what kind of delicious food you have prepared for me and whether it can satisfy me."
Xia Tian smiled and said, "I haven't done it yet, but don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. If you're not satisfied, I'll even give you myself as compensation."
Qiu Mengyun asked curiously, "Oh? Are you so confident? I'd like to see what delicious food you've prepared that makes you dare to say such big words."
"Aren't you afraid of losing not only your wife but also your army?"
Xia Tian: "I never brag. Just wait and see whether it works or not."
Qiu Mengyun smiled and said, "Okay, okay! You like showing off, don't you?"
"I like to deal with arrogant people like you. I'll stand here and watch what tricks you can come up with."
Xia Tian pushed Qiu Mengyun's arm and said, "That won't do. I told you it's a mysterious delicacy."
"If you just stay here and watch, how can I give you a surprise?"
"You should go out now, or wait until I serve it to the table before you judge!"
Qiu Mengyun: "Really? Weren't you quite confident just now? Why are you giving in now before we even start?"
Xia Tian: "Just tell me whether you are going out or not?"
"If you don't go out, I'll have to change the dishes temporarily!"
"But you were the one who caused the last-minute change of dishes. If you're not satisfied later, you can't blame me!"
Qiu Mengyun shook her head: "Haha! Why didn't I notice before that you like to keep things in suspense so much."
"Alright! Since you're so insistent on giving me a surprise, I'll give you a chance. Go out and wait."
"I want to see what you can come up with."
At Xia Tian's urging, Qiu Mengyun left the kitchen with a smile.
Seeing Qiu Mengyun coming out of the kitchen so quickly, Fang Wenjing asked in surprise: "Huh? Mengyun, why did you come out so soon? Could it be that Xia Tian has prepared the meal?"
Qiu Mengyun smiled and explained, "No, Aunt Fang, it was Xia Tian who said she would make two mysterious delicacies for me as a surprise gift."
"In order to keep the gift mysterious, I absolutely do not allow anyone to peek inside before the dishes are served."
"I couldn't get over him, so I was kicked out naturally."
Fang Wenjing asked in surprise, "Is this really what that brat said?"
"This is truly a case of the sun rising from the west. This guy has never done anything so childish in his life."
Qiu Mengyun smiled and said, "In my opinion, he might have said this on purpose to fool me."
Xia Zhenxing laughed and said, "Haha! You can rest assured about this. Although Xiaotian's character is not very good, his cooking skills are still worth looking forward to."
The three of them chatted for a while before Mr. Xia came back with a smile on his face.
Qiu Mengyun greeted with a smile: "Grandpa Xia, you're back!"
"You're smiling so happily, you must have had a great afternoon, right?"
Old Master Xia laughed heartily and said, "Happy, of course happy."
"This afternoon is simply the happiest and most enjoyable day I've had in recent times."
Qiu Mengyun asked curiously, "Grandpa Xia, what happy thing happened to you?"
"Why not tell us so that we can be happy too?"
Old Master Xia said happily: "What good news could there be? The biggest happy event for our family right now is that you come to visit us."
Qiu Mengyun said shyly, "Grandpa Xia, why do you always tease me?"
Old Master Xia laughed and said, "I'm not joking!"
"Do you remember those people this morning?"
"Before, they looked at me and thought my nose wasn't a nose and my eyes weren't eyes."
"But ever since they found out you were my future granddaughter-in-law, they've been really nice to me. They either came to me to ask for autographs, or asked me to get tickets for your next concert."
Hearing what Grandpa Xia said, Xia Zhenxing immediately put on a stern face and said seriously, "Dad, whether it's an autograph or concert tickets, that's Meng Yun's personal matter. You mustn't be foolish and agree to everything."
Old Master Xia rolled his eyes: "Who are you looking down on?"
"Do you think I'm a fool who can't distinguish between public and private matters?"
"Don't worry, I just promised to ask for them. I haven't made any promises to anyone."
Qiu Mengyun didn't care much about it. She smiled and said, "Grandpa Xia, you don't have to be so polite. I can still help with small things like this."
Old Master Xia shook his head: "Forget it. My original purpose was to let them know that I have a beautiful and sensible granddaughter-in-law."
"Now that my goal has been achieved, what happens to them has nothing to do with me."
While they were chatting, Xia Tian came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of steaming dishes.
"Go wash your hands, and get ready for dinner."
"Eh? Grandpa, when did you come back? I was about to ride my bike out to look for you."
Seeing the whole family gathered together, Xia Tian exclaimed in surprise.
"Stop talking nonsense. Are the special delicacies you prepared for me ready?"
Seeing Xia Tian coming out, Qiu Mengyun couldn't wait to ask.
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll bring it over right away. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Soon, Xia Tian placed the dishes neatly on the table.
Xiatian lifted the lids on the last two plates and asked with a smile, "How are these vegetable pancakes and this soup? Are they okay?"
Looking at the simple and plain food on the table, Qiu Mengyun asked excitedly: "How did you make this?"
Xia Tian spread his hands with a smug look on his face: "Don't you know my cooking skills? This level of food is too easy for me."
Qiu Mengyun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who asked you this? I want to know why you chose only these two things."
"Did you suddenly feel like doing this? Or did you do this on purpose?"
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Of course I made it specially for you, otherwise how could it be considered a surprise."
Qiu Mengyun asked curiously, "How did you know I like to eat these?"
Xia Tian smiled mysteriously: "Hehe! The secret cannot be revealed."
Qiu Mengyun curled her lips: "Tsk! Forget it if you don't want to tell me. It's like no one cares to know."
"Let me taste you first to see how strong you are. Don't be a sloppy person."
