The Beloved and Pampered Girl

It was a very blissful thing for the family to be busy for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Being with her family was the happiest thing for Jian Dan!

In the past, it was Granny who was in charge of doing the cooking. This year, Granny was not around, so Chu Liyuan took over. However, this was just a small matter for Chu Liyuan.

Chu Liyuan was currently cooking Jian Dan’s favorite fish. Jian Dan was almost drooling from watching from the back. As soon as it was out of the pan, Jian Dan couldn’t help but pop a piece into her mouth. But… “Hiss!” The fish that she had just popped into her mouth fell to the floor.

Chu Liyuan threw the chopsticks in his hand onto the stove and propped up her chin with one hand. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes brimmed with worry. “Where did you scald yourself?”

“It’s just a light touch. It’s nothing serious!”

Jian Dan explained.

However, Chu Liyuan was still worried. After checking carefully and confirming that she was fine, he said, “Don’t you know that you can’t eat food straight out of the pan? Why were you so anxious? It’s a miracle you didn’t scald your tongue!”

Chu Liyuan rebuked with a solemn expression.

“If I scalded my tongue, it would break your heart.”

Jian Dan wheedled as she leaned closer to Chu Liyuan.

“Break my heart? It won’t at all. How many times have I told you that you have to be careful in everything you do? Did you listen? I should let you learn your lesson!”

Hmph… Uncle, your expression just now had already betrayed you, okay? Why are you still pretending? Forget it, seeing that you’re so worried about me, 1 won’t expose you.

Although Chu Liyuan said that, but…

“Open up!”

Chu Liyuan picked up a piece of fried fish with his chopsticks—blew on it—and brought it to Jian Dan’s mouth.

A smile bloomed on Jian Dan’s face as she opened her mouth and ate the fish. “Mmm! Yummy!” Jian Dan gave Chu Liyuan a thumbs up.

“Oh, you!” Chu Liyuan pinched her nose lightly.

“Are you two frying fish? Or are you whispering sweet nothings? Pink bubbles are floating in the kitchen instead of oily smoke?”

She turned around and saw that Jihao and Qianqian had appeared at the kitchen door.

“When did you come?” Jian Dan smiled and went up to them.

“We just arrived and did not even have time to eat before we had to put up with your PDA!”

“Jihao, why do you tease Uncle and me the moment you arrive?!”

“It can’t be helped. In the past, it was always Chu Liyuan who teased me. Now that I finally have a chance to exact revenge, how can I let it go?” Jihao raised his eyebrows at Chu Liyuan.

“As you wish.”

Chu Liyuan said before Jian Dan could say something.

“We’re here for a free meal!” Qianqian walked up to Jian Dan. “That brat Xiaoyang enlisted without a word. There’s only the two of us left, so we came to your place for a free meal on New Year’s Eve.”

“Welcome, welcome. The more people there are for the New Year’s Eve dinner, the livelier it will be!”

Jian Dan said happily as she held Qianqian’s hand.

“What are you frying?” Jihao went to the stove and was about to reach out when Chu Liyuan hit him with his chopsticks.

“Go wash your hands!”

“Fine, so be it! Why did you have to hit me so hard?”

Jihao complained as he blew on his fingers.

“Go!”

With just one word, Jihao shut up and obediently went to wash his hands.

“Hey, this is your first Lunar New Year as Mrs. Chu. How does it feel?” Qianqian pulled Jian Dan and asked softly.

“I feel very blissful now. Unbelievably so..”
