Chapter 616 Gotcha
” Anyway, I think that we should eat something,” said Grandma Shen as she turned to look at Su Wan who was standing beside her. ” A pregnant woman shouldn’t be left hungry for long,”Lin Yan who was working in the kitchen snapped out of his daze and gasped, ” Oh no! I left rice boiling on the stove!” Then without waiting for anyone to say anything, he rushed inside the kitchen leaving a trail of dust behind him, seeing him go Grandma Shen chuckled, ” Looks like if you get dinner late, then you will have to blame us, eh dear granddaughter.”
Su Wan sighed, she didn’t think of blaming anyone, she was a bit too tired after taking care of all the mess in her family. Now all, she wanted was to sleep.
Fortunately, Lin Yan was able to save the rice from getting burned and the meal wasn’t any late than usual.
” Hmmm,” Grandma Shen stared at the feast that was whipped in front of her and sighed in contentment, ” You have some skills boy, I have to say that, just look at this feast that you have made in such a small time. Even taking care of this old woman’s health, hoho, you sure know how to win the heart of people through their stomachs.”
Lin Yan despite the lack of time that was presented to him, prepared a good deal of dishes—— toasted sandwiches, roasted chicken, chop suey, mapo tofu, egg drop soup with chicken tenderloin and to finish off the dinner with a dramatic effect he even added the recently introduced sushi cake to the menu, of course, that meant he was huffing and puffing with sweat dripping down his forehead by the time, he came out of the kitchen.
Lin Yan smiled as he picked a bowl and ladled some egg drop soup with chicken tenderloin and smiled, ” This is a must, you are Wan Wan’s grandmother, I will definitely have to take care of you to make her happy, if not I am afraid that my wife will be upset with me.”
”And you also have a flattering tongue,” Grandma Shen was amused by Lin Yan’s words as she turned to look at Su Wan and smiled, “Your husband really knows how to flatter an old woman like me, be honest with me, this is the reason he is your little darling, isn’t he?” She asked in a low voice to Su Wan who blinked and then looked at Lin Yan who was serving soup to others and then with absolute honesty answered, ” To be honest, it’s his face that fascinated me, I would have kicked him long ago with his sharp tongue, he only learned how to speak tenderly to me a few months ago.”
Grandma Shen laughed as she slapped the table causing the bowls and dishes to rattle, ” You are just like me Wan Wan, I too was like this when I was young,” she chuckled lightly as she turned to look at Lin Yan who was a bit surprised by the whispering between her and Su Wan. ” You see boy, I am a very fair woman but I also am very soft to handsome faces and since your face is the prettiest among your brothers I will give you a total of twenty points as well, I mean even my Wan Wan is a little sweet on you.”
” Sw…eet..?” This was the first time, he heard that Su Wan was sweet on him, stunned with a face that was full of confusion, Lin Yan turned to look at Su Wan, who raised her brow and blew an air kiss at him causing his face to be flushed as he stuttered, ” I … I… I——” after that he couldn’t finish speaking what he was trying to say as steam started to come out of his face, with a shy expression and red face, he lowered his head and like a newly married wife who was teased by her husband, he muttered, ” I see…”
Grandma Shen watched his shy expression and whistled before turning to look at Su Wan, ” You sure that he is the one who put that child in you?”
” I am pretty sure,” chuckled Su Wan dryly
Even Shen Tian was shocked by his shy expression as he turned to look at his brothers who were not bothered by Su Wan blowing kisses at Lin Yan and the latter blushing like he was seeing his wife for the first time. ” This happens all the time?”
” Yup,” said Shen Zizhen as he tore off a leg of roasted chicken and placed it on his plate followed by some mapo tofu and rice. ” You will get used to it pretty sure, our niece is not the shy one.”
” She is just like us, Shens! Bold and beautiful!” said Shen Junxi as he stuffed a whole piece of chicken in his mouth and gobbled the meat in one go before taking the clean bones out. ” What’s the point of shying away? They are already going to be parents soon.”
” But he——”
” That guy has thin skin, give him some time,” said Shen Zizhen who looked at Lin Yan who was still pretty red in his face just because Su Wan told him that she was a little ‘sweets’ on him. ” He will surely learn, maybe.”
Lin Chen who was watching everything happen in front of him felt like he was going to suffer the most again because, with his big and burly body, he could be counted as anything but beautiful or handsome. So, does it mean that he will be the only one working hard to fulfil the requirements of the bet huh? He didn’t want to!
Just as he was pondering about what he should do when he heard Lin Yu speak, ” Grandma this chop suey is delicious as well, why don’t you give it a try?”
” Ahaha, you sure are filial, that’s great, that’s great! Take ten points for yourself.”
Lin Chen snapped his head at Lin Yu who was working his way into Grandma Shen’s good books with an innocent face and naive smile and narrowed his eyes. Very well, then the competition was on!
He turned to look at Su Wan who felt his gaze and looked up just in time to see Lin Chen pick a piece of chicken and place it against her lips. ” Wan Wan, say ah~”
The table turned silent and then —-
” Good! We have a romantic one too! A thirty points for you boy!”
Lin Chen: Gotcha!
