Chapter 379: 415-416, having a date with Duke Zhou

Although Lu Jingyi had a smile on her face, her expression was different from just now and seemed a bit lost.

Actually, Lu Jingyi rarely entered the kitchen because she believed that cooking fumes were the biggest damage to beautiful skin.

However, while she was abroad, she still specifically learned two dishes, so that when she returned to China, she could demonstrate her domestic virtues in front of the Shen Family elders.

Just now she finally seized the opportunity, even hoping to accompany Shen Yufeng in bustling about the kitchen, but was coldly rejected by him and shut out.

Jiang Meiyi noticed her daughter’s unusual complexion and secretly speculated: Could it be that Jingyi had some unpleasantness with Shen Yufeng in the kitchen?

Elsewhere, Lu Changqing was chatting with Old Madam Shen when they heard Lu Jingyi softly say:

"Dad, Mom, I didn’t realize until I went to the kitchen that Grandpa and Grandma already had guests today, so let’s not bother them! I can come another day to cook for Grandma, it’s the same!"

Lu Changqing and Jiang Meiyi were both startled, guests?

Old Madam Shen and Old Madam Shen exchanged glances, also realizing what had happened.

It seems, Lu Jingyi must have run into Shen Yufeng and An Xiaoyu in the kitchen!

Lu Changqing, being a shrewd person, immediately got up to take leave when he heard his daughter say that.

Seeing this, Old Madam Shen and Old Madam Shen naturally did not insist on them staying longer.

In the kitchen.

After Lu Jingyi left, An Xiaoyu continued chopping vegetables, but her movements were not as smooth as before, pausing intermittently as if stuck.

Chop once, and four words popped into An Xiaoyu’s mind: childhood sweethearts.

Chop again—Two Kids!

Chop again—well-matched in social status!

She thought she had moved on, but seeing Lu Jingyi now, there definitely was a bit of sourness in her heart.

She knew she was being a little petty, but she couldn’t help the sourness and jealousy bubbling up!

Oh dear! She couldn’t control it at all!

Shen Yufeng watched An Xiaoyu’s movements and couldn’t help shaking his head and sighing, wrapping his arms tightly around her from behind.

"What’s wrong, feeling jealous again?"

An Xiaoyu snorted lightly, remaining silent.

Not speaking was as good as admitting it!

Shen Yufeng’s hands tightly hugged her waist, his warm breath wafting onto her face, causing An Xiaoyu to slightly turn away.

"Stop it, can’t you see I’m chopping vegetables?"

Shen Yufeng laughed again, kissing her lightly on the top of her head.

"Silly girl!"

An Xiaoyu hmphed and retorted, "You’re the silly one!"

"If you’re not silly, then why does your whole body exude silliness?" Shen Yufeng countered.

An Xiaoyu didn’t respond.

As Shen Yufeng talked, he kissed her cheek again, and she quickly dodged.

"Hey, stop it!"

His actions made her heart flutter.

Shen Yufeng laughed again.

"I’m entirely yours, what else are you worried about?"

With those words, An Xiaoyu felt her cheeks heating up again.

Yeah, what was she being sour about?

Lu Jingyi, even if she grew up together with Shen Yufeng, but Shen Yufeng doesn’t have romantic feelings for her, so...

She started to worry needlessly again!

Alright! She really was acting silly!

An Xiaoyu felt a bit embarrassed.

"Silly and dorky!" Shen Yufeng sighed deeply, "But, who asked me to like you!"

This comment from Shen Yufeng made An Xiaoyu’s heart melt.

Ugh, alright, when ’God’ speaks such tender sweet nothings, it’s really hard for one to resist!

Just being held like this, An Xiaoyu felt so secure.

At that moment, Old Madam Shen and Old Madam Shen had quietly arrived at the kitchen door, only to see the couple embracing affectionately.

The two of them didn’t say a word, simply embracing each other quietly while the clay pot beside them steamed and bubbled.

This scene...

Tsk, tsk...

The two elders quickly covered their faces and left.

They had originally intended to tell them that the Lu Family had already left, but now it seems better not to disturb them!

*

Finally, lunch was ready. When the dishes were served on the table, Shen Yufeng and An Xiaoyu found out that the Lu Family had already left.

Shen Yufeng thought to himself, Lu Jingyi really knows how to read a room!

"Should we call mom and dad to come eat?"

Shen Yufeng asked.

Old Madam Shen nodded.

So, Shen Yufeng picked up his phone and sent a message to Shen Aotian.

"Dad, lunch is ready, you and mom can come downstairs to eat!"

Then, he hit send.

An Xiaoyu was dumbfounded.

Come on, can you really do it this way?

Please, those two must be sound asleep by now, as if a text message will be heard!

Seeing the stunned look on An Xiaoyu’s face, Shen Yufeng chuckled, "Or... perhaps you’d like to go up and call them?"

An Xiaoyu quickly waved her hands.

Oh boy, she dared not!

Ultimately, it was Mr. Shen who stepped in and called to wake Shen Aotian up.

So, ten minutes later, Shen Aotian and Han Mengya appeared at the staircase, evidently still not quite fully awake.

No helping it, jet lag... just needs to be gradually adjusted.

The family sat down at the dining table. Han Mengya, looking at the dishes on the table, took a deep breath and said, "Hmm, smells wonderful! Sister Zhang’s cooking skills are getting better and better!"

Old Madam Shen chuckled.

"Wrong! This was made by your son and your daughter-in-law together!"

In an instant, Han Mengya’s eyes lit up.

"Really? Then I must eat more today! Even if I gain ten pounds, I’m okay with it!"

An Xiaoyu: "..."

Can one meal make you gain ten pounds?

"Xiaoyu dear, which ones did you make?"

An Xiaoyu hurriedly named the dishes she had made, and each time she mentioned one, Han Mengya would pick up some with her chopsticks to try.

"Hmm, not bad!"

"Hmm, tastes really great!"

Meanwhile, Shen Yufeng sighed.

His own mother was enjoying the dishes made by An Xiaoyu, and his... were being ignored again!

Just then, Han Mengya suddenly remembered her other son, and remarked nostalgically, "Nowadays, as our whole family gathers to eat, I wonder what my Qingqing sweetie is up to!"

Shen Yufeng: "..."

An Xiaoyu: "..."

Qingqing sweetie!

Giving me goosebumps all over!

Shen Aotian checked the time and said, "Honey, your Qingqing sweetie is probably dating ’Lord Zhou’ in his dreams right now!"

Han Mengya felt a bit reluctant.

Having not seen Shen Yunqing for such a long time, she missed him dearly and said, "No, I’m going to call him!"

Thus, Han Mengya made a phone call.

A moment later, the call was picked up, and a strange woman’s voice came through to Han Mengya’s ear.

"Hello..."

Han Mengya was instantly dumbfounded.
