Chapter 704: Chapter 690: Feeding

Xia Yue chatted with them for a bit, introduced herself to everyone present, and exchanged a few words before joining Yan Mo at the table where the grandparents were sitting.

"Grandpas and grandmas, how is the food and drink going?" Xia Yue asked with a smile after she arrived, standing behind Grandpa and Grandma Xia.

"Where did you find such an exceptional chef? The dishes are splendid. I’ve been here for a while; even though the ingredients are the same, the cooking style keeps changing." Grandpa Lin had been wondering about this for some time.

"I spared no expense to hire him. I had to make quite a tribute. A big reason why my resort is so popular is because of them," Xia Yue said with a twinkle in her eye.

"Indeed quite remarkable. The price you paid must’ve been heavy. After all, usual stuff doesn’t really impress these top chefs." Grandpa Yan glanced at Yan Mo and then at Xia Yue.

"Grandpas and grandmas, it’s late, so don’t eat and drink too much, or you might have trouble sleeping later." Xia Yue redirected the conversation, giving them a reminder.

"We know, we know, we are not like when we first came here; when the food is delicious, we eat too much. Now, we know how to control ourselves." Grandpa Xia nodded and picked up another piece of meat for himself.

The other grandparents all nodded in agreement. They had heard this admonition hundreds of times, and they had changed from trying to refute it in the beginning to simply nodding their heads. Anyway, once she left, they could just eat and drink as much as they wanted.

"Alright then, be careful. I’m going to go have some fun." Seeing them nod in agreement, Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Ziluo and the others having fun, her heart was already there.

"Go ahead, just don’t drink too much." Grandma Xia noticed her excitement and advised her before letting her go.

"Sure thing." Xia Yue immediately assured them, "Everyone else, enjoy your meal and drinks. I’m off to have fun. Bye!"

With that, she took a few steps back, didn’t take Yan Mo with her, and turned to join Ziluo and the others.

"What are you still doing here? You don’t need to watch over us, go have some fun!" Grandpa Yan saw his grandson still standing there, found it a bit annoying, and shooed him away, afraid that he would try to limit his drinking.

"Grandpa, you should drink less." Before Yan Mo left, he advised his own grandfather.

"Just go!" Hearing this, Grandpa Yan grew impatient and hurried him along.

Busy, Yan Mo shook his head helplessly and bid the grandparents goodbye, then left their table to follow Xia Yue.

"Old Yan, Old Xia, your grandson and granddaughter seem like a good match. I wonder if you two might become in-laws." Granny Mu looked in the direction they had left and laughed.

"As elders, it’s not appropriate for us to interfere too much in the affairs of the young people. Let’s just let nature take its course," Grandma Xia said gently.

"Whether it’s their matters or not, it’s quite easy to guess about your real granddaughter and the man next to her. They clearly look like a couple." Grandpa Qin pointed at Xia Xi and Mo Si and said.

Grandpa and Grandma Xia looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Xia Xi eating the skewer that Mo Si had in his hand, a sweet smile on her usually cold face.

They knew this smile all too well. It was the same sweet smile they had when they were young and in love.

"Quite a good match indeed, you can see that their relationship is very good." Grandpa Lin also looked over and nodded.

"Old Xia, your granddaughter is about to be carried off by some random youngster." Old Yan took a sip of his wine and laughed at Old Xia.

"What do you mean carried off? This boy has been with Xia Xi all the time. He might be a son-in-law to the Xia family." Grandpa Xia retorted disapprovingly.

"Ha, that man clearly has a strong aura, do you really think he could just be a son-in-law? Keep dreaming!" Grandpa Yan was observant, he could tell from Mo Si’s demeanor and occasional aura that he was no ordinary man.

Without a good reason, it would be impossible for this man to become their son-in-law.

"Even if he doesn’t become a son-in-law, it’s none of your business. You should just worry about when your grandchildren are going to get married. Why meddle in other people’s affairs?" Grandpa Xia looked at him irritably.

This old man never quite cared whose turf he was on. Since their first meeting, Grandpa Xia had found him irritating, and till now, he remained just as exasperating and unlikable.

Yan took a sip of his wine and seeing Grandpa Xia about to lose his temper, he decided it was better not to provoke him any further. If he was kicked out by Xia Yue because of his provocations, it would be a loss for him.

Seeing that Grandpa Yan was not talking anymore, Grandpa Xia finally calmed down a bit and continued eating and drinking.

As for Xia Xi and Mo Si’s matters, honestly, Grandpa Xia didn’t dare to really interfere.

After all, his granddaughter was not brought up in his home, she was very independent, and had virtually no contact with the family.

To his knowledge, she only maintained close contact with Xia Yu and Xia Yue.

He found it strange that even though Xia Xi and Xia Yue were switched at birth, they got along exceptionally well.

They were nothing like the true-born daughters and the adopted ones shown in romance novels he’d read in his youth.

Indeed, that’s right. When Grandpa Xia was younger, he went through a phase where he was engrossed in novels of all genres. After a while though, he moved to a new hobby, abandoning this one.

"This tastes so good, what kind of sauce is this?" Xia Yue ate a piece of wrapped meat that Ao Mi handed her, dipped in the sauce in the bowl in front of him, and was instantly amazed by the delicious flavors. The sauce was spicy and brought out the crispy taste of the freshly grilled meat, with the vegetables neutralizing the saltiness of the sauce.

"This is a special sauce, it’s perfect for grilled meat." Ao Mi watched her with pride. He had put a lot of effort into this sauce.

If it hadn’t been to welcome them back, he wouldn’t have been willing to bring it out.

"It’s delicious, it’s delicious. Yan, you should try it." Xia Yue picked up a piece of wrapped meat, dipped it in the sauce, and fed it to Yan Mo.

Yan Mo’s eyes lit up, and he gladly accepted the food she offered.

"It’s really good." Yan Mo took a couple of bites, savored the taste, and nodded in agreement.

"Ziluo, Sena, Milia, Xixi, you all should try it too. This must be a rare delicacy, otherwise, there wouldn’t just be one bowl of sauce. Let’s eat all of it while Ao Mi is still generous and hopefully, he’ll give us more." Xia Yue called the others, and without stopping, she picked up another piece of meat and dipped it in the sauce.

Xia Xi took a look at Yan Mo, then turned her head, picked up a piece of wrapped meat and dipped it in the sauce.

Everyone who tried it agreed that it was excellent.

This was a rare treat, which only they had, and not the others. It was a special privilege given to them by Ao Mi.

Even the Dragon Lord Ao Ye joined them to enjoy the meat wrapped with the special sauce.
