Chapter 232

This is not what I wanted. Mother, it was YOUR idea in the first place. Chu Feng was speechless. He said helplessly, “Mother, it was you who arranged the blind date—”

“What are you talking about? So, you think you’ve grown up and you can talk back to me, huh?” Liu Minglan glared at Chu Feng before she held Yun Muqing’s little hand and warned firmly, “If you dare to mistreat Muqing in future, I will break your leg!”

Zhou Lie knocked on his pipe. “Your mother is right. It’s your fault.”

Chu Feng could find no retort. Fine then, he thought. It was impossible to reason with his parents. Therefore, he decided to accept the reality and remain silent.

Looking at Chu Feng, who was helpless before his parents’ warnings and scolding, Yun Muqing grinned. Her eyes flickered as she was deeply touched by the kindness of Zhou Lie and his wife. She could finally feel the happiness of being protected and loved by someone.

In the Zhou Family’s courtyard in Plum Blossom Village, smoke was coming out of the chimneys of the house. The smell of delicious home-cooked meals traveled a few miles away from the house. The delicious smell of food made the children around the entrance of the village yearning to get even just a single taste of the food.

In the kitchen, Liu Minglan was busy preparing a table full of delicious dishes with the help of Chu Feng, Yun Muqing, Zhou Ying and the other young people. They worked happily and harmoniously together.

“Wow, deep fried pork tenderloin, fried fish in sweet and sour sauce, braised pork ribs, steamed chicken with lotus leaf…” Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Zhou Ying’s eyes blinked with excitement. “Mother, these are all the dishes you are good at cooking. It seems that you put a lot of effort in welcoming Muqing by showing off your cooking skills.” She continued grudgingly, “You’re not even that nice me, your own daughter.”

“Of course, you two little rascals are no match for my daughter-in-law.” Liu Minglan prepared the dinner swiftly while looking at Yun Muqing tenderly.

Yun Muqing lowered her head to hide her blushing face, deeply moved by Liu Minglan’s words.

Chu Feng attempted to steal two pieces of pork ribs from the plate to taste it together with Zhou Ying when Liu Minglan was not looking, but the alert and quick Liu Minglan slapped his hand just in time.

“Keep your hands away from the food. Why can’t you change that bad habit of yours after so many years?” Liu Minglan snapped, “Don’t you guys start eating before Muqing does!”

Zhou Ying pouted her lips, unhappy with Liu Minglan’s unfair treatment.

Liu Minglan lovingly gave Yun Muqing a piece of caramelized cinnamon vine and said, “Muqing, if Chu Feng dares to mistreat you, don’t be afraid to tell me about it, I’ve got your back.”

“Alright, I will, Mrs. Zhou. This is so delicious. It’s really sweet.” Yun Muqing nodded with a smile. She really enjoyed Liu Minglan’s dish.

“You can always come over if you like my cooking. I will prepare a lot of dishes for you.” Liu Minglan was very pleased with Yun Muqing. She asked casually, “Oh yeah, Muqing, when did you first meet

Feng?”

“Uh… Well, we…” Yun Muqing was surprised by Liu Minglan’s question. Her eyes flickered as she struggled to come up with a logical story.

Suddenly, Zhou Ying, who was sitting beside Yun Muqing, informed, “They met a long time ago. They had a kid together, who is already four or five years old.”

“What? They already had a kid?” Liu Minglan exclaimed excitedly. She was surprised and delighted at the news.

“Yes, she is Duo Duo, a cute and pretty little girl. She looks exactly like Chu Feng when he was little,” Zhou Ying continued with a smile.

“Oh my! T-This is… My dear darling, you are the savior of our family!” Liu Minglan was so excited that she was unsure how to react. She held Yun Muqing’s hand thankfully.

At the same time, she criticized Chu Feng severely for disrespecting her by keeping her in the dark about such an important matter.

“Muqing, it’s not that I want to complain but it’s really absurd that you didn’t contact us after so many years,” Liu Minglan complained. “My little granddaughter was already four or five years old and yet I, as her grandmother, hasn’t even seen her. You see, this is really—”

Yun Muqing lowered her head. Her eyes flickered uneasily as she was struggling to explain the situation.

Chu Feng stood up suddenly and said, “Mom, it’s not Muqing’s fault. It’s mine. After I joined the army, I have been travelling around the world, joining battles here and there without having a stable home. It’s been years since I left and all these years, it was Muqing, who raised our daughter alone. Because of this, she was even expelled from her family.”

Distressed by Yun Muqing’s predicament, Liu Minglan’s eyes reddened as she held Yun Muqing’s hand tenderly. “My dear, you must have suffered a lot all these years. I cannot imagine how you managed to overcome all the hardship alone? From now on, this is your home, we’ll share your sorrow and hardship together with you.”

Recalling the five years of her miserable life, Yun Muqing felt sad; at the same time, she was deeply touched by Liu Minglan’s promise. So, she nodded firmly.

“My dear, wait a minute.” Liu Minglan pondered for a few minutes when she suddenly remembered something and hurried into her room.
