NOVPUBChapter 128 Does Your “B” Brand With Wings Have a Queen’s Seat?
Liu Hongming raised an eyebrow and thought, Old Shen, you’re twisting words. The “so delicious it makes people cry”—are you referring to my grandson crying?
My grandson is crying because he desperately wants to eat it!
Are you going to give him some or not? Don’t make me beg you!
Looking at the presentation, the crystal shrimp dumplings and twice-cooked pork from the other side were indeed tempting, but his Yuzun Tower dishes had an even better presentation and looked more appetizing.
Since he hadn’t tasted the other food, he couldn’t judge. But seeing his grandson’s intense reaction, it must be incredibly delicious.
“Daddy, here, have a piece of meat~!”
Lu Xiyao picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork, lifted her tiny arm, and fed it to Lu Qin’s mouth.
“Alright, thank you, Yao Yao.”
Lu Qin ate the piece of pork, feeling warm inside.
“No need to thank me, Daddy. Cooking is hard work.”
The little girl was very considerate of Lu Qin.
“Here, Mommy, have a piece of green pepper.”
The little girl picked up a green pepper from her own bowl and held it up to Shen Muyan’s mouth.
Shen Muyan’s gaze remained cool. She asked, “Why are you giving me a green pepper?”
The little girl’s eyes were pure as she replied, “Mommy, because my bowl only has green peppers left. The last piece of meat went to Daddy~!”
Shen Muyan pursed her lips, just about to take a bite when the little one added.
“And… I don’t like green peppers.”
Hearing that, Shen Muyan pulled her head back and sat up straight.
Oh, so the meat she likes goes to Daddy, and the green peppers she doesn’t like come to Mommy.
Alright. Very clear thinking.
“Children need balanced nutrition when eating. You can’t just eat meat—finish your green peppers.”
Shen Muyan took on the role of educator, speaking in a commanding tone while picking up four or five more green peppers and putting them into the little one’s bowl.
“That’s too much, Mommy! Waaaah~!”
Lu Xiyao’s face fell.
Shen Muyan raised a slender finger and shook it.
“Not too much at all. Eat them all.”
“Ohhh~!”
Lu Xiyao ate the green peppers as if she were taking bitter medicine.
Actually, Lu Qin’s stir-fried pork with green peppers was excellent. The pork was tender and fragrant, and the green peppers had absorbed the sauce wonderfully. He had even added Shaoxing wine to enhance the flavor. The green peppers were just as tasty as the meat.
But Lu Xiyao had disliked green peppers since childhood and instinctively resisted them. Seeing this, Shen Hongda secretly helped her by eating two green pepper slices. The little girl gave him a grateful look—Grandpa was the best!
Shen Muyan, however, pretended not to see. Liu Hongming’s grandson cried for a while, realized it was useless, and quietly went over to the edge of the other bed, staring longingly at their food.
Liu Hongming felt awkward. His earlier arrogance had completely vanished. Just one shrimp dumpling and a piece of twice-cooked pork had made his grandson cry with craving. This was a serious problem.
At that moment, Shen Hongda finally picked up a small bowl, took a little bit of everything, and handed it to Liu Hongming’s grandson.
“Wow! Thank you, Grandpa Shen!”
The little boy’s eyes lit up with joy.
“Mmm… so delicious!”
He started devouring the food ravenously. Meanwhile, Liu Hongming took a bite of his own Yuzun Tower dish. It still tasted good, but somehow, it didn’t feel as satisfying.
“Xiaofeng, let Grandpa have a bite.”
“No!”
“Hey, you little ingrate! Grandpa gave you so much delicious food earlier, and now you won’t even let me try a bite?”
Liu Hongming forcibly took the last piece of twice-cooked pork from his grandson’s bowl and ate it. The little boy pouted in displeasure.
But as Liu Hongming chewed, his eyes widened in shock. This twice-cooked pork… was better than what Yuzun Tower’s head chef, Master Qin, made!
More fragrant! More flavorful!
Perfectly seasoned—salty, savory, rich yet not greasy.
The taste and texture were flawless!
Perfect!
Unable to contain his curiosity, Liu Hongming asked, “Old Shen, this is your son-in-law?”
He looked at Lu Qin, surprised that such a young man could cook so well. Master Qin at Yuzun Tower was already over fifty, with decades of experience.
This… didn’t make sense.
Shen Hongda grinned proudly.
“Of course! Handsome, isn’t he?”
“Very handsome! He’s a perfect match for your daughter!”
Liu Hongming praised, but his heart felt sour. His own son was divorced. His ex-daughter-in-law was too demanding, always gambling, and never took care of their child.
Lu Qin and Shen Muyan exchanged glances but didn’t say a word. They weren’t going to explain their divorce to outsiders.
Lu Xiyao was happily eating, feeling that this was the perfect family moment. After finishing Lu Qin’s food, the little girl declared that her throat no longer hurt, meaning she didn’t need medicine and could go home.
Lu Qin examined her tonsils. They were slightly red but not severe.
“Your throat really doesn’t hurt anymore?” He asked.
Lu Xiyao nodded.
“Daddy, it doesn’t hurt at all! I can even eat ice cream!”
Lu Qin chuckled.
“Since it doesn’t hurt, then let’s go with a knuckle flick instead. Earlier, I didn’t do it because you weren’t feeling well.”
Lu Xiyao: “???”
As they left the hospital, Shen Hongda invited Lu Qin to their house.
“Your mother-in-law has been practicing cooking lately. Master Chef Lu, care to give some guidance?”
Lu Qin couldn’t refuse and followed them to the villa for dinner.
“I want to ride in Daddy’s car!”
Shen Hongda frowned.
“Is Grandpa’s B-brand with wings not good enough?”
Lu Xiyao asked, “Grandpa, does your car have a 15-inch LCD screen?”
“No, it doesn’t.”
“Does it have zero-gravity seats?”
“Also no.”
“Does it have a drone?”
“A drone? Which car comes with a drone?”
“My Daddy’s car does!”
“…”
The little girl climbed into the backseat of the M7, expertly opened the built-in tablet, and started playing the cartoon Little Bunny Feifei. Shen Muyan also got into the backseat of the M7.
Shen Hongda: “You too?”
Shen Muyan responded coolly, “Does your ‘B-brand with wings’ have a Queen’s seat?”
Shen Hongda: “…” 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
“Old Zhong, step on it. Leave that black SUV far behind.”
“Boss Shen, I can’t. That’s an electric vehicle, and its acceleration is almost as fast as our Bentley—around four seconds.”
“What? You’re saying a 3-million-yuan Bentley isn’t better than an electric Chinese car?”
Shen Hongda suddenly felt like his Bentley was lacking everything.
“What car is that?”
“The new AITO M7. Comes with a fridge, TV, and a large sofa. Uses Huawei’s technology—HarmonyOS smart drive, leading the way.”
“Huawei?”
Shen Hongda took out his Huawei Mate X5 top-tier edition phone.
“Then I’ll get one too, to match my phone,” Shen Hongda said.
“Boss Shen, if you want to fire me, just say so.”
“Huh? When did I say that?”
“That car has smart driving. It makes me useless.”
Shen Hongda stroked his chin.
“Is that car really that good? My son-in-law has great taste!”
Lu Qin set the navigation for the villa, activated smart driving, and relaxed in the air-conditioned, fragrant cabin.
Lu Xiyao reclined on the backseat, resting her head on Shen Muyan’s long legs. Shen Muyan activated the multi-point massage seat in the back, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the ride.
