"Dad, Dad! How embarrassing!"
"Quick, close your eyes!"
Thinking about the two little ones watching his every move, Qin Jian gave her a quick peck on the corner of her mouth and imdiately let go of An Hao.
Ning Yibin heard the noise in the living room, wiped his hands, and ca out of the kitchen.
"An Hao, you’re back!"
"Yeah. Dad, are you cooking today?" Since An Hao entered the Ning Family’s house, this was the first ti she saw her father-in-law cooking.
"Yes! Your mom hasn’t been feeling well these past few days, and when she heard her son was coming back, she was so happy! She insisted on cooking a whole table of dishes herself! I was just worried she might overexert herself, so I ca into the kitchen to help!" Ning Yibin said.
"Dad! You talk to Qin Jian. I’ll go help in the kitchen!"
An Hao changed her clothes, washed her hands thoroughly, and went into the kitchen.
Zhang Yun was making braised fish, and when she saw An Hao co in, she hurriedly handed the spatula to her: "You do it! Braised fish is your specialty! It’s also what your dad is most looking forward to!"
An Hao tied on an apron, took the spatula, and started making the fish: "Mom! Every day you bicker with Dad, but deep down he really cares about you! He knows you’re not feeling well, so he ca to the kitchen to help you himself!"
"He’s helping ?" Zhang Yun pursed her lips, full of disdain, "He’s not helping ! He’s helping himself!"
"How could that be?" An Hao said while stir-frying, laughing, "If helping you is helping himself, then he is indeed helping himself!"
"You don’t know, last ti he learned how to make braised fish from you! And then he totally looked down on the way I make it! Today’s fish wasn’t bought for nothing! He ca over to show how it’s done, just to flaunt a bit!" Zhang Yun said confidently.
"You both have each other in your hearts! But you always seem to bicker!" Amidst the laughter, An Hao had already finished cooking the dish.
Because today was the day Qin Jian returned from his investigation, Zhang Yun made it a grand occasion.
The table was full of food, and she also took out Ning Yibin’s well-preserved good wine from the wine cabinet, pouring it in front of everyone.
"Co on! Today is the day Qin Jian cos ho, we’re here to welco you and wash away the dust! Also, to chase away any bad luck!"
Zhang Yun suggested everyone have a drink.
After three rounds, everyone started to eat.
Ning Yibin was thoroughly enjoying the fish cooked by An Hao, and couldn’t hide the smile on his face.
"Just look at how happy he is!"
"You’re not happy when I’m happy?" Ning Yibin said with a grin, "Your mom just can’t stand to see happy! Whenever I’m happy, she’ll surely find a way to irritate !"
"Who’s irritating you? Our son’s back, I’m happy too." As she said this, Zhang Yun suddenly rembered she hadn’t asked Qin Jian about the situation, "I’ve been so busy cooking, I forgot to ask you, is the investigation all cleared up this ti? How did the data get leaked?"
Qin Jian shook his head, "No! There’s still no result!"
"Then why did they let you co back?" Zhang Yun asked, puzzled, glancing at Ning Yibin, "Did you pull so strings?"
"Just gave a small nod of acknowledgnt." Ning Yibin had never ddled in his son’s affairs for a lifeti.
He figured his son was a soldier, and being one, he should be straightforward and upright!
If his son had the ability, he should climb up on his own rit!
As a father, he would never abuse his position to give him any special advantages.
