A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Lu Yang nodded.

To be honest, his father's words, though simple, were all reasonable.

Although Li Xixue appears to be an icy female CEO, the fact that she's so nervous to meet her parents today shows that she genuinely cares.

Lu Jianguo added, "You know your mother's personality. She's a bit of a chatterbox, but she doesn't mean any harm. If Xiaoxue gets nagged, remember to keep an eye on her."

"Don't worry, Dad."

Lu Jianguo nodded and picked up his teacup.

Let's put this topic behind us.

Over in the kitchen.

Zhou Huifang and Li Xixue stood side by side in front of the pool.

Zhou Huifang was washing the dishes, while Li Xixue was wiping the plates beside her.

This was the first time she had ever wiped a plate.

Although I'm not very skilled at it, I can still hold it steady.

"Xiaoxue, do you usually cook at home?"

Li Xixue paused for a moment while wiping the plate.

Cook?

She made a complete mess of the kitchen last time, almost triggering the smoke alarm.

From then on, her kitchen was basically just for show.

"I do it occasionally..."

Li Xixue replied softly.

Zhou Huifang didn't mind and said with a smile, "It's okay. If you don't know how to cook, that's fine too. Come to Auntie's house more often, and I'll teach you. Besides, Xiaoyang is a picky eater, so I'll teach you the recipe next time you come."

Li Xixue nodded.

Zhou Huifang drained the water from the pool, wiped her hands, and then turned around to look at Li Xixue.

"Minor Snow".

"Um?"

"I want to ask you something, please don't think I'm being nosy."

Li Xixue put down the plate in her hand, turned around, and looked at the other person very seriously.

Zhou Huifang's expression softened slightly; she was no longer the cheerful girl she had been before, but rather a little serious.

"You and Xiaoyang, are you serious?"

Li Xixue was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Huifang quickly added, "Auntie doesn't mean to question you, I just... you know, Xiaoyang has never brought a girl home before, and today he finally brought one back, I'm afraid you're just messing around."

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue's initial tension eased.

She thought for a moment and then said, "Auntie...we're serious."

Zhou Huifang's eyes lit up.

"That's good, that's good."

She took Li Xixue's hand and patted it: "Xiaoxue, don't worry, from now on you are our family's daughter. If you need anything or anything, just tell Auntie, don't be shy with me."

Li Xixue felt a warmth in her heart as her hand was held, and subconsciously nodded.

To be honest, she hadn't been treated like this in a long time.

Although her own mother cared about her, Song Qiulan's concern carried a domineering tone.

Zhou Huifang is different.

It's the kind of warm, comforting feeling that touches your heart.

After wiping the last plate, Li Xixue put it on the shelf.

Followed by.

She took a breath and said, "Auntie... could you teach me how to cook Xiaoyang's favorite dishes?"

She was stunned for a moment after she said it.

Why should I learn to cook the dishes that Lu Yang likes to eat?

wrong.

She should have said, "Just teach me how to cook."

Why emphasize what Lu Yang likes to eat?

Zhou Huifang was smiling so hard her eyes were almost closed.

"Alright, alright! Xiaoxue, if you want to learn, Auntie will teach you today!"

At the same time, her worries were relieved.

As long as neither party is just playing around, it's fine.

Li Xixue wanted to explain, but didn't know how.

I can't exactly say I misspoke, can I?

Wouldn't that just make the truth even more obvious?

Forget it.

Just think of it as... learning a skill.

In the living room, Lu Jianguo finished a cup of tea and then poured himself another.

Lu Yang sat opposite him.

The two sat there and chatted for a few minutes.

Lu Jianguo asked him about his work, and Lu Yang only talked about what he could.

At that moment, a clanging sound suddenly came from the kitchen, along with Zhou Huifang's lecturing voice.

Lu Yang turned his head and glanced in the direction of the kitchen.

Have those two been inside for so long?

Logically speaking, washing dishes shouldn't take much time.

Lu Yang stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Push open the half-closed door.

Then he froze.

In front of the stove, Zhou Huifang stood on the left and Li Xixue stood on the right.

Li Xixue was wearing an apron.

It's Zhou Huifang's floral apron.

It was tied around her waist; the skirt was a bit long, and the belt was tied in a crooked bow.

She was holding a spatula, staring blankly at the contents of the wok.

Zhou Huifang instructed from the side: "Xiaoxue, flip it over, yes, yes, that's it, use your wrist."

Li Xixue held the spatula and carefully scraped it.

The movements were very stiff.

Half of the things that were cut out flew outside the pot.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's try again."

Zhou Huifang didn't look down on her at all; on the contrary, she patiently taught her future daughter-in-law.

Li Xixue picked up the flying vegetables and put them back in the pot, then tried again.

This time it was better; at least it didn't fly off.

"Yes! That's it! You see, you're very talented!"

Zhou Huifang praised with a smile.

Li Xixue's ears turned a little red, but she was very happy to receive praise from her mother-in-law.

Lu Yang leaned against the door frame, watching this scene unfold.

To be honest, he was a little taken aback.

Li Xixue.

President of Xueyu Group.

She's wearing an apron now, learning to flip a wok in her own kitchen.

Who would believe that if I told them?

"What are you doing?" Lu Yang asked.

The two of them turned around at the same time.

Zhou Huifang said with a smile, "Xiaoxue said she wanted to learn to cook, and I'm teaching her right now."

Li Xixue held the spatula, glanced at Lu Yang, and then turned her head back.

He didn't say anything.

But Lu Yang could see the pink patch on the back of her neck.

"What dish are you making?"

Lu Yang went inside and took a closer look at the pot.

There's braised pork in the pot.

However, overall it looks...

Hmm, that's pretty abstract.

Noticing Lu Yang's strange gaze, Li Xixue lowered her head and said, "Get out."

"Let me see what's wrong?"

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, but refused to go out.

Zhou Huifang immediately stepped in to smooth things over: "Xiaoyang, don't just stand there. It's Xiaoxue's first time doing this, and you're making her nervous."

"I get nervous just looking at her?"

Lu Yang chuckled.

Li Xixue finally turned her head and glared at him.

Lu Yang wisely took two steps back.

But they didn't leave.

He leaned against the refrigerator, arms crossed, watching.

Li Xixue ignored him and continued flipping the pot.

Zhou Huifang said from the side, "There's not enough salt, add a little more."

Li Xixue picked up the salt shaker.

I hesitated for a moment.

Then it shook.

Half a jar of salt has been put in.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Zhou Huifang quickly pressed her hand down.

Li Xixue stared at the layer of white salt in the pot, her expression stiffening.

Lu Yang's lips twitched slightly as he stood to the side.

"Too much..."

Li Xixue said something in a low voice.

"fine!"

Zhou Huifang quickly comforted her, "If we add too much, we can just throw it away and make it again. Come on, let Auntie help you."

As she spoke, Zhou Huifang poured out the contents of the pot and cut a few more pieces of meat.

Li Xixue stood to the side watching, looking somewhat dejected.

"Auntie, am I... being too stupid?"
