A year older, the third master of Beijing circle kissed her to tears

Chapter 1309: The Craftsmanship of the Future Daughter-in-law

When Mu Ning came out with the braised pork, she was shocked. Shi Yuan's parents were sitting on the dining chairs waiting for her.

"Uh, uh..."

Mu Ning moistened her lips with her tongue, not knowing what to do, her face flushed. It would have been fine if Shiyuan's mother was here, but why did Shiyuan's father show up too?

"Um, uncle and aunt, good evening." Mu Ning was stunned for at least half a minute before he slowly came back to his senses and immediately bowed deeply while holding the plate.

Huo Yan laughed out loud, which made her think that this child was quite funny.

"Why are you bowing? Come, your uncle and I have been waiting here for a long time. Can we taste your cooking?" Huo Yan asked with a smile, stood up and took the plate from Mu Ning's hand.

The plate was taken away, and Mu Ning stretched out her hand, "Um, it's very hot..."

"It's okay," Huo Yan said with a gentle smile, and praised sincerely, "It looks good," then turned to look at Mu Ning, "Anything else?"

"Yes, yes..." Mu Ning quickly turned and walked towards the kitchen, scratching her ears. Three people? Isn't that a little too little?

If she had told us they wanted to eat together earlier, she could have cooked a few more dishes. There was so much stuff in the freezer, she could make anything. But she was afraid people would say she ate too much, so she only made a braised pork, a stir-fried vegetable dish, and a soup. The rice was enough for her alone.

After the dishes and soup were served, Mu Ning said, "The rice isn't much..."

Before Mu Ning could finish her words, Huo Yan quickly waved her hand to stop her. "Your uncle and I don't eat staple food at this time. We were attracted by your delicious food and wanted to try your cooking."

"Is that so? Okay, I'll get you some chopsticks."

Mu Ning turned and went into the kitchen, followed closely by Huo Yan. Everyone in the Zhuang family had their own special chopsticks. Huo Yan told her one by one and took a pair of new chopsticks to Mu Ning.

"Thank you." Mu Ning said in a low voice.

The braised pork was fatty but not greasy, but a little spicy, and the stir-fried vegetables were very spicy. It seemed that the girl was already stir-frying the vegetables when Huo Yan and his wife went downstairs, but they tasted really good.

There are some small pubs in the old alleys of Beijing. The food in those small restaurants is very delicious. The presentation may not be as beautiful as the big hotels, but the taste is unquestionable. Nowadays, it is difficult to find such small restaurants in Beijing.

"It's delicious." Huo Yan said in surprise.

Zhuang Zhoucheng glanced at Huo Yan with a gentle smile on his face. He was not sitting in his seat, but sitting next to Huo Yan. When he heard Huo Yan speak, he turned half-side to face Huo Yan.

"Is it delicious?" Zhuang Zhoucheng asked in a low voice, leaning very close, his eyes filled with a drowning tenderness.

"Try it, it's made by our eldest daughter-in-law. You are so lucky. Which old man can eat the food cooked by his wife nowadays?" Huo Yan laughed softly.

Zhuang Zhoucheng frowned slightly and subconsciously asked, "Am I really old?"

Huo Yan smiled and shook his head, "You're not old, you'll always be like this, there's no difference between being thirty and seventy."

Zhuang Zhoucheng is one of those people whose age is hard to tell. Of course, this type of people are at a disadvantage when they are young because they look old. Their advantage comes after they turn forty.

"That's an exaggeration." Zhuang Zhou smiled sincerely, and subconsciously put his big hand on Huo Yan's shoulder, but when he thought of his future daughter-in-law sitting opposite him, he moved his big hand down and gently placed it on Huo Yan's waist.

"Try it, it's a little spicy." Huo Yan said with a smile.

Zhuang Zhoucheng finally gave in and reached for his chopsticks. "Have you ever learned to cook?"

This was a question to Mu Ning. Mu Ning's head was almost buried in the bowl. After Shi Yuan's father asked her for a long time, she finally reacted and slowly raised her head.

"I learned to cook by following recipes." Mu Ning answered seriously.

"It tastes good." Zhuang Zhou praised.

This was a high evaluation. For others, they would probably immediately say some flattering words to express their gratitude, but Mu Ning didn't understand. After hearing Zhuang Zhoucheng's words, she just smiled, said nothing, and continued to eat with her head down.

Zhuang Zhoucheng didn't think the child was being rude, but Huo Yan glanced at Mu Ning. The child must be really afraid of them, as he sat there with his whole body tense.

Zhuang Zhoucheng took one bite and put it down. It was too spicy. He hadn't eaten so late in the evening in decades and was not used to it. But Huo Yan poured him a bowl of soup and forced it on him.

"Drink it, it tastes good." Huo Yan smiled at Zhuang Zhoucheng.

Zhuang Zhoucheng touched his forehead and said, "You should drink a little. You haven't eaten anything recently."

Huo Yan smiled and drank most of the bowl, leaving a little left. "This is for you, no need to thank me."

"Yeah." Zhuang Zhoucheng nodded.

Huo Yan watched Zhuang Zhoucheng finish the soup in his bowl, his eyes full of smiles, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Mu Ning didn't know when she looked up at Shi Yuan's parents across from her, her eyes filled with shock and surprise. She thought, was this too much? What kind of couple lives like this?

Well, this isn't a performance for her, right?

But think about it, it seems that she doesn't need to act anything, who is she? She is a big businessman, so what?

Shocked, shocked, and then envious. How nice it would be if her parents could be like this?

Mu Ning buried her head. She also wanted to find a man who only had eyes for her as her husband, but her choice had left her with no choice. She had no way out. Whether Zhuang Shiyuan was good or not, she had to accept him. She was not a good girl. She was a little bit bad and calculating, but she would do what she promised and would not go back on her word.

So, let’s put aside other ideas.

Zhuang Zhoucheng gently put his big hand on Huo Yan's waist again. Huo Yan leaned on the table and whispered, "Mu Ning, you don't have classes tomorrow morning, right?"

"Yeah, that's right." Mu Ning sat up straight and looked at Huo Yan. She didn't dare to look directly into Shi Yuan's mother's eyes, so she slowly buried her head in eating.

Huo Yan smiled and said, "Can we go to the hospital to accompany Shi Yuan tomorrow morning?"

"..." Mu Ning nodded slowly, "Yes, okay."

Since people gave her food, of course she had to fulfill their requests.

"After you finish eating, go back to your room and rest. Do you know where Shiyuan's room is? Go upstairs and find it in the second room on the left. The door is not locked, just push it open and go in. I've put some of your clothes in there. If you like them, keep them. If you don't like them, tell the servants and they will clear them away. Well, after you finish eating, just put your dishes here and the servants will clean them up." Huo Yan whispered.

"Okay, I understand." Mu Ning nodded.

Huo Yan and Zhuang Zhoucheng stood up and went upstairs. Mu Ning remembered the rules when she and Zhuang Shiyuan came here to eat last time, and quickly stood up.

Huo Yan took two steps, looked back at Mu Ning, and was sure that the girl was just afraid. He didn't say anything and just left.

After the man left, Mu Ning finally came back to life, eating happily. Braised pork was her favorite, not greasy, and the flavor was just right. Of course, it was best if there was no pork elbow.
