Shi Nuan was speechless; wearing a matching outfit with her mother-in-law? She had never heard of such a thing.
However, she was very grateful for Yu Yao custom-making clothes for her, no matter how dissatisfied this elder might be with her.
The warmth she received was considerable, and in many cases, Shi Nuan truly regarded her as her own mother.
On the way to the city, the two of them chatted casually. Song Yansheng seed to be in a good mood and told Shi Nuan about many past events.
For example, Yu Yao’s fish dishes.
Song Yansheng said, "Actually, my mother’s cooking skills can only be described as decent. To put it shalessly, she can’t match my father’s and mine. But when it cos to making fish, my mother is an expert. The reason is simple: my father loves eating fish. Yet, oddly enough, though he does great with other dishes, he never quite gets fish right...
Many years later, when Father was lying on his sickbed, I finally understood that he couldn’t cook fish well simply because he never seriously tried. Mother did it so well that he let her keep that sense of achievent, allowing him to keep enjoying her fish. The marital bond was tenderly strengthened through a single dish!"
Song Yansheng finished speaking, glanced at Shi Nuan with a light smile, and said, "In a way, Nuannuan and I share a similar trait. Nuannuan isn’t skilled at cooking, whereas my dishes are palatable enough. But to be honest, I can never match Nuannuan’s sweet tomato scrambled eggs. That taste warms and stays unforgettable!"
Shi Nuan felt flustered. Her face grew warm, and she said teasingly, "Second Uncle is teasing again!"
She’s eaten those tomato scrambled eggs herself; honestly, they’re quite bad!
As they say in China, the easiest and most common dish is tomato scrambled eggs.
No matter how bad soone’s cooking skills are, as long as they don’t burn or overcook it, the taste usually doesn’t turn out terrible.
But she... Shi Nuan really wanted to disappear. When will the tomato scrambled eggs joke finally end?
Song Yansheng, however, laughed more deeply and said, "This isn’t teasing. The first bite might have tasted strange, but savoring it carefully brought out a unique flavor. Now, it’s beco sothing I’m obsessed with, devoted to, and deeply in love with..."
He paused, softened his voice, and continued, "Much like my feelings for Nuannuan!"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered slightly, her face reddened even more, secretly wondering: Is it because of the tomato scrambled eggs that she’s being chard once again by Song Yansheng?
And it seems like it’s working.
Song Yansheng truly is a master at charming won!
Shi Nuan clenched her teeth, took a while, and quietly uttered, "Second Uncle has a unique taste!"
Song Yansheng laughed a hearty "haha," his laughter lively, making Shi Nuan feel even more embarrassed.
Fortunately, just then, the car stopped at the entrance of a mall in the city; they had arrived at their destination.
Song Yansheng glanced out the car window and said, "The shop is in the mall. Let’s get off the car!"
Shi Nuan responded "Mm," and paused as she opened the car door, turning to look at the extraordinarily handso man beside her!
Song Yansheng noticed, and handed two masks, one to Shi Nuan and put the other on himself.
Then he pushed the car door open first.
Shi Nuan didn’t hesitate anymore, quickly put on her mask, and got out.
Actually, she wanted to say to Song Yansheng earlier, "Wearing a shirt, dress pants, and leather shoes with a mask looks really odd, okay?"
