“If you like, you can come by anytime . ”
Following the sound of the door being pushed, a gentle female voice floated in .
Lin Wanwan, who was busy eating, looked up upon hearing the voice . She saw a woman with soft and beautiful features walking in . There was a form of elegance that had been cultivated over the years, and she seemed to have a magical calming effect .
Lu Zhanbei bowed his head . “Auntie Ai . ”
Auntie Ai smiled and nodded at him . She turned to look at Lin Wanwan . Seeing that she was holding a pair of chopsticks with one hand and scooping a bowl of soup with the other, she could not help but smile .
“Cough…” A certain food lover blushed . She was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to drill into .

“Wanwan, out of so many dishes, which is your favorite?”
Hearing her call her name while seeming sincere, Lin Wanwan was stunned . She subconsciously glanced at Lu Zhanbei and had an internal struggle .
“Can I choose only one? Every dish here is so delicious . I really can’t select just one . ”
Auntie Ai didn’t put her in a difficult spot and changed the question . “Then, after eating these dishes, how do you feel and what are your comments?”
Lin Wanwan had another internal struggle . After a long while, she answered with a word .
“…” Lu Zhanbei looked away as he couldn’t bear to look at her .
However, Auntie Ai laughed . “I like this answer . ”

It was simple and upright . However, it unexpectedly pleased her .
Many people had tried her culinary skills . She would ask similar questions at times .
Those food lovers, including His Excellency the President, wouldn’t hesitate with their praises . They said that only those in heaven deserved these dishes and that they were extraordinary treasures . These praises were too exaggerated .
Lu Zhanbei raised his eyebrow . This woman… can be said to embody “fortune favors fools . ”
“Since Auntie Ai is so happy, she should give some thank-you gift . ”
“You’re here for a free meal and still dare to ask me for a thank-you gift?”
Auntie Ai rolled her eyes at him helplessly . She placed the light blue box in her hands onto the table and pushed it toward Lin Wanwan .

“I know what you mean . I have long prepared a welcome gift . Zhanbei, after all these years, you haven’t changed . You’re still… not bothering about trifles . ”
Lu Zhanbei said calmly, “I know you’re trying to say I’m shameless . ”
Lin Wanwan raised up her hand weakly . “Ah, may I voice out my opinion?”
Lin Wanwan was no longer shy . “One shouldn’t reject gifts from elders . If Auntie Ai really wants to give me a welcome gift, why don’t I take these dishes to-go?”
Lu Zhanbei held his forehead . Did she have to be so embarrassing?
“You should take a look at what this welcome gift is before making a decision . ”
Lin Wanwan said succinctly, “There’s no need to . In this world, only good food and love won’t disappoint . The rest are just floating clouds . ”
Auntie Ai looked at her with more kindness . “No need to be so troublesome . You can come here anytime in the future . I guarantee you can eat to your fill . As for this welcome gift, do accept it…”
Without waiting for her to finish saying her words, Lu Zhanbei suddenly said, “Since she doesn’t appreciate it, you should keep it . ”
Auntie Ai was shocked . Wasn’t he here to get this?
“Lin Wanwan, don’t regret this in the future . ”
“I will never regret it~”
No matter how expensive the gift was, it couldn’t compare to the palpitation the five senses brought about .
Auntie Ai stuffed the box into Lu Zhanbei’s hands . “Then you keep it for her temporarily . ”
She clapped thrice . The young woman in a cheongsam immediately served a few desserts .
“These are special desserts during the Beiping period . A milk dessert, a sun cake, and some fruit preserves . Madam used to love eating these . Please try them . ”
