Chapter 598: Chapter 598: You Two, Had a Fight?

"Alright, my mango pomelo sago dessert is ready to be left unsold!"

"Not at all, even after eating ice cream, I can still eat a large bowl of mango pomelo sago!"

The little young master, Zizi, quickly expressed his loyalty. Xiao Lizi also chimed in, "That’s right, we only had a small cup of ice cream. Put the rest in the fridge. I also want to eat a large bowl of mango pomelo sago."

When Zhu Qianying was bringing the sweet soup to the study, Yan was on a video call with Qin Xiu.

At first, Zhu Qianying thought the two were discussing work matters, but after unintentionally overhearing some of their conversation, it appeared it was not the case.

"You want Shao Shan to come to Yanhuang, but she doesn’t want to. This is a good thing, it means she doesn’t want to rely on you, and she is confident in herself."

So, they were talking about Shao Shan’s job search difficulties.

Seeing Zhu Qianying enter, Yan said, "I won’t keep chatting with you, ponder it yourself."

With that, he shut his laptop sharply.

Zhu Qianying smiled and looked at him, "How heartless..."

Yan came over, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pinched her lightly.

"If I were to show affection to him, I would have to be heartless towards you."

Zhu Qianying teased him, "You’re turning into a philosopher."

Yan grabbed the tray from her hand, "This is not philosophy, this is clearly sweet talk."

Zhu Qianying swung her arm into his chest, "The sweet talk started before the dessert was even ready. I suppose we don’t need the dessert anymore."

Yan lowered his head to kiss his loved one, "A sweet mouth is only superficial, it needs to be sweet inside too, so, we can’t skip the dessert."

Zhu Qianying had to give it to him, "Alright, if you want to be sweet both inside and out, you might as well become a honeylocust."

The two bickered and happily finished the sweet soup.

Originally, Yan didn’t particularly like sweet soups, but since he got involved with Zhu Qianying, his tastes slowly changed.

"Hmm, this sweet soup is delicious today, is there more?"

Zhu Qianying looked at him, initially thinking that he was only flattery because she made the soup. However, seeing him licking his lips, with a look of pleasant surprise, he indeed seemed like he didn’t have enough.

"Yes, I’ll go down and get you another bowl."

"Thank you, darling!"

Having the sweet soup, even Yan’s tone became sweet.

Zhu Qianying shivered, getting up to go downstairs for the sweet soup.

Then, she saw her mom in the kitchen with an iPad, displaying pictures of various ingredients and dishes, while her mom was cutting cabbage.

"Mom, are you still researching recipes?"

"Hmm..." Chen Jing focused on cutting the cabbage into strips, only faintly acknowledging her without looking up.

"Has the dish for the exhibition been decided yet?" Zhu Qianying was curious, leaning over to look at the ingredients and measurements on the screen.

"It’s decided!" Chen Jing responded crisply.

Zhu Qianying found it strange, wasn’t this supposed to be a happy matter? Why didn’t Mom’s response show the slightest joy? Instead, there was even a bit of resentment in her tone?

Sensing something was off, Zhu Qianying leaned in to closely observe her mom’s face, "Mom, isn’t this a good thing? Why are you so upset?"

"Who says I’m upset, I’m quite happy. At least I don’t have to trouble myself anymore..."

Zhu Qianying realized that her mom was clearly saying one thing but meaning another.

Continuing to chop chop chop, and studying food videos on the couch all night, clearly she wasn’t convincing at all.

"So what are you doing now?"

No one at home particularly enjoyed cabbage, so it could basically be ruled out that she was studying the food for the family.

"Can’t the restaurant launch some new dishes? I’m not one to rest on my laurels!"

Well, that was true. Ever since the Quiet Restaurant opened, almost every week, Mom would introduce a new dish.

"Alright then, which dish did you finally decide on for the exhibition?"

Whether it was gossip or concern, Zhu Qianying refused to leave Chen Jing’s side.

Chen Jing was feeling irritable, and didn’t want to engage her daughter further.

At least, not on the question she was being asked now.

Seeing the bowl in her daughter’s hand, she said, "Weren’t you going to serve the sweet soup? Why are you loitering here? Yan will be looking for you shortly!"

Zhu Qianying was about to retort that she was exaggerating, when the intercom in the kitchen rang. She pressed the receive key, and Yan’s voice was transmitted.

"Ying’er? Is it all gone? If it’s out, don’t worry about making some especially for me, you can cook it tomorrow night."

"There is some, I’m serving it. I’ll be up soon." Zhu Qianying replied, and hung up the receiver.

Chen Jing looked at her and smiled, "Go on and keep your husband company. What’s the point in troubling this old woman?"

Clearly, Chen Jing had seen her daughter’s gossiping nature.

"Mom, you’re wronging me, I was clearly just concerned about you, when did it become me troubling you?"

While Zhu Qianying complained dramatically, she swapped for a larger bowl and served another bowl of sweet soup.

"That will do. I know you care about me. Now off you go."

Zhu Qianying, pretending to be hurt, "rolled" out, allowing Chen Jing to finally take a long exhale.

"What took so long?"

Yan opened the door, took the tray from her hand, and asked.

"Mom was researching new dishes downstairs. I was curious."

Yan casually asked, "What were you curious about?"

Zhu Qianying sat down beside him, took a spoon from her empty bowl, scooped up some sweet soup from the big bowl he was holding, and put it in her mouth.

"I feel like, Mom seems a bit down."

Yan put the sweet soup on the table, directly picked her up and sat her on his lap. His long arms wrapped around her, encircling her entire body.

He reached out, picked up the bowl again, scooped up some soup, and fed it to her.

"Isn’t it normal for her to feel down? Doesn’t your uncle ignore her?"

Zhu Qianying leaned on his shoulder and thought for a while, "But I don’t think it’s because of uncle, it seems like it’s because of the restaurant."

After Zhu Qianying finished speaking, she used her own spoon to scoop a spoonful of sweet soup to Yan’s mouth, and Yan naturally opened his mouth and ate it.

The two people had spoons that they held, but strangely they kept feeding each other, one spoon for you and one spoon for me.

"Because of the exhibition?" Yan’s guess hit the mark.

"It seems so, but not quite!" Zhu Qianying felt a little troubled.

At first, although she didn’t encourage her mom to participate in the food exhibition, she was supportive. She thought that her mom could gain more confidence and admiration from the food exhibition.

But seeing her mom troubled, she couldn’t help but doubt whether her initial support was wrong.

"Do you think, Mom is having a conflict with Luo Yifan?"

Now Zhu Qianying’s guess is very close to the truth.

Seeing that the woman in his arms had stopped eating her sweet soup and was only frowning and tilting her head in deep thought, Yan couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

"If you want to know, why not just call and ask?"
