Lin Wan covered her face. “The main road is right in front of us. Many people are coming and going along that path, and they are mostly the elderly. This doesn’t look decent.”

Li Yanchen let go of her hand. “Do you want to go back with me? Or should I leave the car here?”

“I’ll ask Xixi if she needs me here first.” They were going to Lan Village in two days. Yang Ruoxi would probably leave for Country Y by the time they were back. Lin Wan knew that if she left now, she would have to wait until Chinese New Year to see her again.

“Okay, or we can ask Yang Ruoxi to bring Tiantian along to Yun City. They can look around Yun City since they don’t have anything urgent to do here.”

“Smart. This way, Xixi and Tiantian can have some alone time, and she can also see where I live!” Lin Wan forgot that Yang Ruoxi hadn’t been to Royal Water Bay yet.

This was the second time she had seen Yang Ruoxi in this world. Yang Ruoxi’s home was close to Lin Wan’s old house, so Lin Wan had chosen this place as their meeting place.

“I’ll go and ask.”

Yang Ruoxi had just finished the call with Tiantian, and she was about to go find Lin Wan to talk to.

Lin Wan put her arm around Yang Ruoxi’s shoulder. “Mr. Li came up with a good idea. We’ll go back to Yun City this afternoon. You and Tiantian can come along. You can tell Grandma that you’re going to visit my house, and that you’ll be back tomorrow. You can also consider whether you want to take Tiantian home at that time.”

“Yes, I want to see your big villa. Otherwise, I won’t even recognize my sister’s home in the future.” Yang Ruoxi said without hesitation.

“Get lost! The Royal Water Bay is close to the airport. Send your father a text and tell him that I’ve invited you to stay at my house for a while. Then, call grandma.”

“Alright,” she said.

In the kitchen, Aunt Bao had already prepared the food.

Braised green crab, steamed Australian dragon fish, salt and pepper spotted prawns, tofu clam soup, and stir-fried vegetables. She placed the dishes on a heat preservation board and stood by the window to call the children to eat.

Lin Wan was the first one to walk in.

“It smells so good!” exclaimed Lin Wan before she even reached the kitchen.

“Mama Bao is no less than a chef from a five-star restaurant!”

“Yes! Quickly, Mr. Li, close the courtyard gates. Otherwise, neighbors might sneak in for a free meal because the aroma is to die for!” said Yang Ruoxi.

“Isn’t that too much exaggeration?” This is my first time making these prawns,” said Auntie Bao in embarrassment.

When Aunt Bao used to take care of Lin Wan, she would usually cook regular dishes and rarely buy seafood. But after Lin Wan married Li Yanchen, she lived alone and didn’t indulge in such good food.

“Who’s being modest now?” Lin Wan hooked her arm around Aunt Bao. “I know best whether your cooking is delicious. I can say for sure that Aunt Bao’s culinary skills are top-notch.”

“No need to be so happy. Aunt Bao will be my mom in the future. Those who want to come home with me should consider how fortunate they’d be,” Yang

Ruoxi said.

Aunt Bao felt even more embarrassed. She pulled at Yang Ruoxi’s sleeve. “I know you’re just joking. If you like the food, feel free to come anytime. I’ll be here to host you.”

“No, no, no… Aunt Bao, you’re going to marry my dad. From now on, it’ll be at my house. At that time, it’ll be Lin Wan who’ll be a freeloader. Hahaha! I, Yang Ruoxi, will take charge.” Yang Ruoxi laughed out loud.

Lin Wan held Aunt Bao’s hand tighter. “I don’t agree! This is Aunt Bao’s home. Papa Yang and Grandma can live here with Auntie Bao. Isn’t it normal for the groom to live in the bride’s house these days?”

Lin Wan and Yang Ruoxi bickered back and forth, and Aunt Bao had to stop them. “You kids, why do you always like to joke around? Don’t worry about me.

Let’s eat!”

“They’re just bored,” said Li Yanchen. Whenever Lin Wan and Yang Ruoxi met each other, they always argued.

“It’s good that Mr. Li understands us. Wanwan and I would never really fight. Auntie Bao, I’ll leave after we finish eating. I’ll come visit you again in a few days.” Yang Ruoxi smiled.

“We’ll leave after eating too,” Lin Wan said.

“Oh, okay.” Auntie Bao reluctantly agreed, knowing that the children had their own work to attend to.

“I’ll come to visit you after New Year’s Day,” Lin Wan said as she picked up a piece of crab meat for Auntie Bao.

“Alright. Work comes first.”

In the afternoon, after discussing with her father and grandmother, Yang Ruoxi went to Yun City.

When Tiantian learned he would get to go to Yun City with Yang Ruoxi, he happily spun around in circles.

Lin Wan’s car was left at the Lin family’s old house. Li Yanchen and Yang Ruoxi each drove their own car. Considering that Tiantian needed time to pack up and check out, Yang Ruoxi was afraid that Lin Wan and Li Yanchen would have to wait too long. So, she asked Lin Wan to send her the location and told her she would find her.

Tiantian came down with his suitcase and saw Yang Ruoxi standing by the car door. He put down his luggage and ran over to give her a hug.

“There’s food in the car, and it’s still warm. Let’s eat before we set off.” Yang Ruoxi took out a thermal lunchbox from the backseat. “I told Auntie Bao that we’ll be picking you up at the airport and would let you taste her cooking.”

“I’m starving.” Tiantian patted his stomach.

Yang Ruoxi opened the lid to the lunchbox.

“Wow, so many delicious things!” Tiantian ate eagerly.

“Take your time. Eat slowly. Don’t choke.”

On the way back to Royal Water Bay, Lin Wan sat in the passenger seat and held hands with Li Yanchen.

“Are you livestreaming today?”

“It’s Xia’s turn today. I’ll be at home in the afternoon organizing things. Aren’t we going to Lan Village soon?”

“How about coming with me to the company? There will be a few restaurant managers visiting in the afternoon to finalize the year-end banquet. Take a look and give some suggestions of your own.” Li Yanchen wanted Lin Wan to be involved in his business.

“Huh? Can’t you decide on your own?” Although Lin Wan had been to Chenxin a

few times, she never interfered with the company’s affairs.

“I just want to hear your opinion. Accompany me for a bit” Li Yanchen squeezed his wife’s hand.

“Mr. Li, are you getting spoiled? Fine, I’ll go to the company with you. But my opinion is only for reference, alright?”

“Thank you, honey.” Li Yanchen had invited Lin Wan to participate in several

company events before, but she had refused every single time. These included employee benefits on holidays, the company’s family day activities, and even the annual choice of travel destinations.

This time, Lin Wan finally agreed, and Li Yanchen was hopeful. He had always wanted Lin Wan to come to the company and help him, even though Lin Wan repeatedly emphasized that she had no experience working in such a company.

“If it’s just choosing a restaurant, I can roll some dice for that,” Lin Wan said.

“Take it a bit more seriously. You have to accompany me to the year-end banquet too,” Li Yanchen said.

“Huh? I have to attend your company’s year-end party too? Isn’t that too much?” Lin Wan finally realized that Li Yanchen was gradually setting her up.

“You’re the boss’s wife. Everyone should get to know you. Besides the headquarters employees, the employees of branch offices will be visiting too.” Li Yanchen wanted to introduce Lin Wan to everyone..
