Chapter 1030: Care? Expectations? There Weren’t Any!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Wanwan’s thoughts whirled in her mind . On the surface, she sniffed and was so touched that there were tears in her eyes . “Auntie, I didn’t expect you to care so much about me . You even helped me to take into consideration such details . Don’t worry . I’ll definitely put in 120% of effort and won’t let your care and expectations for me down!”
“…” Fu Wanyi paused in her action of drinking tea . Her temples were throbbing .
Care?
Expectations?
There weren’t any!
She was warning her, alright?
Why was she feeling touched?!
Indeed, agreeing to Lin Wanwan coming over for a meal was a wrong decision .
Fu Wanyi didn’t want to bother with Lin Wanwan anymore . However, Lin Wanwan leaned over with a cute smile and held her arm affectionately .
“Auntie, can you share more about General Zhu with me? I want to find out more about her . That would be helpful for me to figure out her character . ”
When she witnessed this scene, the smile in Ai Ying’s eyes became deeper .
She had interacted with Fu Wanyi for decades and understood her better than Lu Zhanbei did .
Fu Wanyi was a restrained person . She wasn’t used to Lin Wanwan’s straightforward and affectionate style .
Fu Wanyi subconsciously wanted to avoid her . However, Lin Wanwan kept holding her arm, as if treating her as an ordinary elder and not an almighty senior official of Xia country .
“Auntie, do you… hate me?”
Fu Wanyi looked into her pitiful eyes and felt an even stronger headache .
Yes!
“…No . ”
Ai Ying saw the helplessness in Fu Wanyi’s eyes and couldn’t help but secretly joke with Lu Zhanbei . “Your mother always speaks in a roundabout way . A sentence can hide several meanings . Wanwan’s trick of playing dumb to take advantage of your mother is not bad . ”
Lu Zhanbei smiled without saying a word .
Lin Wanwan continued to pester Fu Wanyi and asked a lot of questions . Although Fu Wanyi still looked indifferent, her tightly pursed lips revealed her unsettled mood .
One could see how lethal Lin Wanwan was for her to push a high-ranking presidential candidate to this state .
Finally, Feng Xiaowei walked out from the kitchen .
“Auntie, dinner’s ready . ” Fu Wanyi suddenly found Feng Xiaowei to be pleasing to the eye .
She used the movement of getting up to pull out her hand . It was rare for her lips to curve up slightly .
“Everyone, let’s eat . ”
Lin Wanwan said fervently, “Auntie, I haven’t listened enough yet . After dinner, tell me more . I didn’t expect General Zhu to have been so cool and handsome when she was young . Also, Auntie, you’re so gentle now . I didn’t expect you to have been so playful when you were young . ”
“…” Ai Ying felt that Fu Wanyi’s heart might be a little blocked now .
The dining table was filled with four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes . Taste aside, they at least looked good .
Feng Xiaowei used the common chopsticks and picked up a braised pork ball . “Auntie, try this . ”
Fu Wanyi took a bite . Under Feng Xiaowei’s expectant look, she nodded . “Not bad . ”
Feng Xiaowei smiled and looked at Lin Wanwan meaningfully . “Looks like I have hopes to be a good helper . ”
Lin Wanwan pouted .
Ai Ying also picked up a braised pork ball . She only smelled it, then placed her chopsticks down .
“There’s too much lean meat and it may not taste that well when chewed . It has been fried for too short a period of time and the skin’s not crispy enough . Wanwan, haven’t I taught you how to make this dish? Go and try . ”
The smile on Feng Xiaowei’s face immediately fell .
She didn’t know the relationship between Ai Ying and Fu Wanyi, and she only thought that Ai Ying was helping Lin Wanwan out .
“Lady, my culinary skills are guided by Mr . Yu Mansen . He’s a well-known Chinese food master in Xia country . Even he complimented me for having learned well . Even if Ms . Lin knows how to make home-cooked dishes, her skills definitely couldn’t compare to Teacher Yu’s, who has years of experience in this aspect . ”
