Chapter 75: Cooking at Yan Yueqing’s Place (Part 2)

“Of course,” Yan Yueqing stepped forward. “Tian Tian’s here too?”

Tian Tian, holding a plastic bag, her scholarly face adorned with a sincere smile, replied, “Aunt Yueqing, I came to play with Tang Tang.”

“Come in quickly,” Yueqing said, helping Xu Li carry the heavy shopping bags inside.

The standard hotel rooms lacked cooking facilities, but the suites had them.

Xu Li laboriously arranged the ingredients on the marble countertop, explaining between breaths, “Xiaohua and Xiaoyu are doing the compatibility test. Youran went to the hospital with them. Tian Tian and I had nothing to do, so we decided to buy ingredients and make something delicious.”

Originally invited as Qin Youran’s guest, Xu Li noticed that Qin youran’s attention was entirely on Song Xiaoyu, showing no intention of interacting with her. Being tactful, Xu Li understood the situation without pressing the issue, quietly taking Tiantian along to do other things.

As for Song Xiaohua, Xu Li didn’t have much fondness for her. But Song Xiaoyu… she quite liked her.

Yan Yueqing nodded approvingly. “Yes, restaurant food isn’t always clean or hygienic. Xiaoyu will definitely appreciate your homemade meal.”

The last time Xu Li cooked with Yan Yueqing, she noticed how meticulous and thoughtful Yueqing was, completely unlike her negative public image. Enjoying their time together, Xu Li smiled, “Not just for Xiaoyu. Once I’m done, let your three little ones try it too~”

Yueqing readily agreed, “Alright, I’ll help you out.”

Xu Li quickly replied, “No need! There are four kids in the room. Although they’re well-behaved, an adult should still supervise. Leave the kitchen to me~~~”

After a moment’s thought, Yueqing conceded, “Okay, just call if you need anything.”

“Okay~ I won’t be polite with you,” Xu Li said, expertly donning a hooded apron.

[Haha, why are Xu Li and Yan Yueqing so close? One might think she’s Yueqing’s invited guest!]

[Where’s Qin Youran? With Xiaoyu? Shouldn’t Tian Tian be her priority?!]

[Probably thinks Xiaoyu is the main attraction, so she’s neglected her own guest! Is this the Qin Youran everyone hyped for four episodes? I’m laughing.]

[The narrative shifted quickly. Yan Yueqing’s rise and Qin Youran’s fall—was this reversal planned by the show?]

[I’ll borrow Yan Bao’s words here: ‘Don’t mind others’ thoughts, just keep watching!'”]

On-screen, Tian Tian shared her toys with the three children.

Tang Tang received a Barbie doll, Jun Yan got a checkers set, and Yan Wang was handed a freshly unwrapped Rubik’s cube.

Tian Tian said shyly, “I wasn’t sure what you liked. If… I can choose better ones for you next time?”

Tang Tang hugged the doll happily, “I love it, thank you, Sister Tian Tian!”

Jun Yan and Yan Wang quietly accepted their gifts without comment.

Yan Wang’s slender, frail fingers played with the Rubik’s cube as if caressing precious jade. With a few casual moves, he restored the jumbled cube to its six uniform sides.

Tang Tang stared in awe. “Brother Wangwang, that’s amazing! I didn’t even see how you did it!”

Yan Wang offered her the cube. “It’s simple. I can teach you.”

Jun Yan scoffed, “Pfft, just a trick to impress little girls!”

Only Tang Tang would be amazed by such a thing!

Look at Sister Yueqing—she wouldn’t be dazzled by such a trivial trick.

Just as he finished speaking, Yan Yueqing emerged from the kitchen. “Wow, my baobao can even play with a Rubik’s Cube so well?”

Jun Yan: ???
