257 Dinner
After thinking about it, You Lingling and Ju Feng decided to invite Ming Liuyi’s family to their humble house for dinner.
Ju Feng had just recovered, and the family relied on You Lingling for income. Although it would not be as good as Ming Liuyi’s home, it was still a kind gesture from Ju Feng’s mother.
…
The next morning, You Lingling visited Ming Liuyi’s house.
You Lingling hugged Ming Liuyi and excitedly said, “Liuyi, my fiance managed to stand up! Your spring water is so good! Where did you get it?”
Ming Liuyi smiled and said, “From an eminent monk. He would send me some every time. I don’t know where his temple is though.”
You Lingling nodded, then went straight to business. She said, “Liuyi, we would like to invite you and your husband to dinner. Ju Feng’s mother will cook for you personally. Will you have time?”
Ming Liuyi did not have any problems with that, but recently Yao Zizhou had become very busy, and she did not know if he would be free.
Ming Liuyi said, “Lingling, wait here. I’ll go ask my husband. He has been quite busy lately.” Then, Ming Liuyi got up and went upstairs.
At the door of the study, Ming Liuyi opened it and peeked inside. When she saw that Yao Zizhou seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, Ming Liuyi walked in with ease.
She snuck to her husband’s side and was about to reach out when he suddenly opened his eyes.
Ming Liuyi was startled. Yao Zizhou smiled and said, “Dear, what’s the matter?”
“Do you have time tonight?” Ming Liuyi asked.
Yao Zizhou furrowed his brows. There had been some problems with the company’s new project recently, so he had been very busy. He said, “What is it?”
Ming Liuyi told Yao Zizhou about You Lingling’s invitation to dinner.
“Sure,” Yao Zizhou said with a smile. “I’m almost finished with today’s business. Zhao Qiang can take over for me.”
Ming Liuyi kissed Yao Zizhou’s face and ran out happily. Yao Zizhou stared at Ming Liuyi’s back as she skipped away, and he could not help but smile.
When You Lingling saw Ming Liuyi come downstairs, she said, “How is it? Does your husband have time?”
Ming Liuyi nodded and said, “Yes, he said it’s fine. We’ll be there tonight.”
…
As night fell, Ming Liuyi and Yao Zizhou brought Yao Zhaoyang to You Lingling’s house. Yao Zizhou carried some fruits and gifts in his hands.
Ju Feng’s mother saw that Yao Zizhou had brought gifts, so she said, “I invited you here to eat. Why the gifts? Come in and sit.”
Ming Liuyi hugged Yao Zhaoyang and said, “Auntie, we didn’t bring much. We only brought some fruit.”
After everyone entered the house and took their seats, You Lingling said, “Liuyi, you guys sit down and chat with Ju Feng first. Auntie and I will be busy in the kitchen.”
Ming Liuyi said jokingly, “Still calling her auntie? Shouldn’t you change the way you address her?”
You Lingling went into the kitchen with a red face. Ju Feng was also a little embarrassed.
“President Yao, Madam Yao, I’m really grateful to you two,” Ju Feng said sincerely. “If it were not for you, Lingling and I might have—”
Ming Liuyi waved her hand and said, “It’s nothing. This is something that we should do. You two are so good together, I don’t want to see you guys separate.”
After that, they chatted for a while. Soon, the dining table was laden with food.
When Ming Liuyi saw the dried meat, sausages, and dried pork ribs, she felt touched. In her previous world, these were all great delicacies.
Yao Zizhou would not have the same sense of appreciation, and Old Zhang had prepared all kinds of delicious food for them.
Yao Zizhou actually enjoyed eating the dried pork ribs that Ju Feng’s mother prepared. Although they were not as good as Old Zhang’s, they were still quite delicious.
Ju Feng’s mother was very pleased to see Ming Liuyi and Yao Zizhou eat so much. She had been worried that the two of them would dislike the food when they saw it.
Even young Yao Zhaoyang was holding a piece of dried pork rib in his left hand and a sausage in his right hand, and ate away with gusto.
You Lingling looked at the way the family of three ate and was shocked. From the way they wolfed everything down, one would have thought that they were poor.
Ju Feng had been worried about whether Ming Liuyi and Yao Zizhou were eating like this because they did not want his family to feel bad. However, when he saw Yao Zhaoyang’s behavior, all his worries disappeared.
Ju Feng’s mother smiled. “There’s plenty to go around, so eat slowly.”
After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Ming Liuyi patted her stomach in satisfaction. She said, “Lingling, I haven’t had such a good meal in a long time. It’s all thanks to you.”
“This is nothing. It’s just some cured meat from the countryside,” You Lingling said with a smile.
