Chapter 726: Chapter 726: Undermining
The movie was very moving, Xinyan watched it with some emotion, while He Jinxuan was very attentive, handing her dried fruit and sunflower seeds from time to time. However, he truly didn’t dare to let Xinyan drink too much soda, considering the weather was too cold.
Coincidentally, the unfortunate couple who sat right behind them were provoked by their actions. Their relationship didn’t improve during the movie; instead, they ended up having a disagreement.
It was almost the end when Xinyan noticed the couple’s little gestures behind them and thought: It’s truly unfortunate.
She quickly pulled He Jinxuan to leave.
When they arrived at the private restaurant, Mr. Yin’s apprentice Bai Weixing was just placing the grilled meat. Seeing them arrive, he greeted them with a smile, "You guys came at just the right time."
The grilled lamb chops were truly incredible, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and deliciously fragrant. It was absolutely amazing.
Paired with the naan made by Mr. Yin’s apprentice, along with dumpling soup and a few side dishes, Xinyan ate to her heart’s content.
Unfortunately, they didn’t get to see Mr. Yin and his wife today. Bai Weixing, as his apprentice, said that Mr. Yin’s friend had tripped and was hospitalized yesterday. The situation wasn’t very good, so they went to visit after receiving the news.
After dinner, it was already late. No matter how unwilling He Jinxuan was, he had to take her home; if it got any later, Xinyan’s future father-in-law and mother-in-law might be unhappy.
Just as he thought, as soon as his car stopped at the gate, the door opened.
Han Jingchen came out from inside, "You still know to come back."
The words were directed at Xinyan, but his gaze was fixed on He Jinxuan coming out from the car.
He Jinxuan hurriedly handed over the packed grilled lamb chops from the back seat, "There were many people lined up for the grilled lamb chops, this was packed for you guys, it’s still warm, you and Auntie try it."
Seeing the situation, Xinyan couldn’t help adding, "Dad, didn’t you say Mom likes these?"
After she spoke, she realized.
These words were only mentioned by Dad during the New Year dinner.
She couldn’t help but turn to look at He Jinxuan; turns out today she was just basking in Mom’s favor. So that’s why she figured, how would He Jinxuan think to get half a lamb on his own. Now it all makes sense.
He Jinxuan, seeing Xinyan watch him, leaned close to her ear, "Don’t overthink, it’s mainly because you like to eat."
His breath brushed against her neck, making her blush immediately; thankfully it was night.
This little movement made Han Jingchen’s face darken even more, "It’s getting late, you should rest."
He Jinxuan knew he couldn’t stay, so after greeting Xinyan, he turned and got in the car, "Go inside, I’m leaving."
Watching the car turn and leave, Han Jingchen then turned to Xinyan, "Your mother has been talking about you for half the day, truly a daughter is hard to hold onto when she’s grown."
Xinyan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Dad, how were you when you chased my mom back then?"
As she spoke, they heard Gu Wanqing’s voice from the courtyard, "He was even more outrageous than He Jinxuan, climbing over the wall to run to my window at midnight..."
Before she could finish, Han Jingchen stepped forward, "You didn’t eat much tonight, just right that Xinyan packed grilled lamb chops, come, come, come, I’ll accompany you to eat more."
As these words fell, Gu Wanqing and Xinyan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
He couldn’t let Wanqing bring up what he did back in the day, or his daughter would definitely laugh at him.
Xinyan turned to Gu Wanqing and gave her a thumbs-up before slipping off to Granny Zhang’s room.
Granny Zhang saw her come in, "You’re back."
Xinyan nodded with a smile and checked on Granny Zhang, "You’re recovering well, in a few days, we’ll go to the hospital for a follow-up check."
Granny Zhang now listens to whatever Xinyan says, not wanting Xinyan to worry or make more trouble for her.
As usual, Xinyan personally made Granny Zhang a cup of milk with water prepared ahead of time, water infused with Space Spring Water, hoping Granny Zhang recovers faster.
Of course, since coming back, Xinyan hasn’t missed her father’s portion either, even writing two medicinal recipes for Sister Chen. Every day there would be a medicinal dish to help regulate her father’s health.
Her father’s health was secretly conditioned during his stay when he returned to Capital, with some things not needing to go too far.
