Chen Yang looked at the phone that had just been hung up, frowned helplessly, and gave a wry smile: "My sister-in-law is too enthusiastic. I feel bad refusing such a warm invitation..."

He sighed softly: Fine, I'll just go there once, keep a respectful distance the whole time, and leave as soon as I finish eating.

Around noon, Lin Ruyi drove her Ferrari, carrying Chen Yang, and slowly stopped at the entrance of the residential area where Song Mengmeng lived.

Lin Ruyi turned to Chen Yang and said respectfully, "Young Master Chen, there are already people coming to the villa for interviews to apply for security guard and maid positions. I need to go back and take care of that."

If you need anything, please feel free to call me.

Chen Yang looked at her and said with concern, "Aren't you afraid that Lai Jian and the others will return and seek revenge on you if you go back alone?"

Although I taught them a lesson, they might not give up.

Lin Ruyi gently shook her head, her eyes firm and her tone resolute: "Don't worry, Young Master Chen, they were quite frightened by you just now. They definitely won't dare to provoke me again anytime soon, let alone approach the villa. You can rest assured."

Seeing this, Chen Yang nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, then be careful on the road and contact me immediately if anything happens."

Lin Ruyi quickly replied, "Yes, Young Master Chen, please take care too."

Chen Yang got out of the car and walked towards the gate of the residential area.

Lin Ruyi watched him walk into the residential area before starting the car and slowly driving away.

The community has a quiet environment with shady trees, clean and tidy roads, and various green plants on both sides.

Following the route he remembered, he found the building where Song Mengmeng lived, took the elevator, and soon arrived at her doorstep.

He raised his hand and gently pressed the doorbell.

The doorbell rang once, and the door was opened instantly.

Song Mengmeng stood behind the door with a big smile on her face, her eyebrows curving and her eyes gentle: "Chen Yang, you've finally arrived. Come in quickly, it's hot outside."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over her.

Song Mengmeng has a sweet, doll-like face, fair and delicate skin, lively eyes and eyebrows, and shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth.

She wore a light-colored floral apron, which made her figure appear even more voluptuous and alluring.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away, but he also noticed that she was not wearing the necklace he had given her before on her fair and slender neck.

Song Mengmeng smiled and turned to the side, pulling him along, her tone affectionate: "Yangyang, what are you standing there for? Come in quickly."

By the way, why didn't your colleague come along?

Chen Yang walked into the house and casually explained, "They had an emergency and couldn't come, so I came alone."

Song Mengmeng casually closed the door and gently locked it from the inside, then smiled and said, "It's alright, please sit down."

As she spoke, she led him into the living room.

The living room is decorated in a warm and elegant style, with soft and comfortable sofas and fresh fruit on the coffee table.

The air was filled with the aroma of food.

Song Mengmeng turned and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot tea, handing it to Chen Yang in a gentle tone: "Sit down and have some tea and rest for a while. The food will be ready soon. The dumplings are still warm in the pot, so they'll be hot."

After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen to start cooking.

Soon, the sounds of pots and pans clattering came from the kitchen.

Chen Yang picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and felt the warm tea slide down his throat, bringing a sense of comfort.

His gaze involuntarily fell on Song Mengmeng's bare neck again, full of doubt: Why isn't my sister-in-law wearing that necklace?

Does it mean you don't like it?

Song Mengmeng was cooking in the kitchen when she turned her head unintentionally and noticed his gaze. She stopped what she was doing and asked with a smile, "Yangyang, what's wrong?"

You've been staring at me; is there something you want to say?

Chen Yang came to his senses and, without hiding anything, asked directly, "Sister-in-law, why aren't you wearing that necklace anymore?"

That necklace suits you perfectly; it looks especially good on you and enhances your overall elegance.

Song Mengmeng rolled her eyes at him, her tone a mix of coquettishness and helplessness: "How dare you bring that up?"

I wouldn't dare wear such an expensive necklace casually; if I accidentally broke it, I'd be heartbroken.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't overthink it. That necklace isn't expensive. There's no need to be so careful."

Song Mengmeng shook her head gently, her eyes serious: "Don't hide it from me. I specifically asked Biyu to find out which jewelry store you bought it from, and I even went to the store to ask about the price."

I was shocked to find out that the necklace cost a whopping 990,000!

Chen Yang looked surprised, his eyes widening slightly. He hadn't expected Song Mengmeng to go out of her way to find out the price of the necklace. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, but he also felt a bit helpless.

Song Mengmeng ladled the stir-fried vegetables into a plate, carried the plate to the kitchen door, looked at him with a playful look in her eyes, and asked with a smile, "Yangyang, what are you thinking when you give me such an expensive gift?"

"Could it be that you've fallen for your sister-in-law?"

Chen Yang's cheeks flushed instantly, and a faint blush rose to his ears. He looked somewhat embarrassed and quickly waved his hand, explaining urgently, "Sister-in-law, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it."

"You and Heng-ge have always taken good care of me. When I was going through a tough time, you helped me a lot. Now that I'm financially better off, I simply want to repay your kindness; I have no other intentions."

Seeing his embarrassed and flustered appearance, Song Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh. The playfulness in her eyes faded, replaced by a gentler look: "I was just teasing you. Look how anxious you are."

I will keep the necklace safe. I won't waste money like that again, buying such expensive gifts. I appreciate your kind intentions, sister-in-law.

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, sister-in-law, I understand. I won't waste money anymore."

Song Mengmeng laughed and said, "Alright, stop chatting and hurry up and prepare to eat. The dumplings won't taste good if they get too warm."

As she spoke, she carried the stir-fried dish out of the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.

Chen Yang also got up and quickly went into the kitchen to help carry a plate of food to the table.

When he returned to the kitchen, wanting to help serve the dishes again, Song Mengmeng gently took his hand and softly pushed him out, saying, "You don't need to help. You're a guest, just sit still."

I'll do the rest; it'll be done quickly.

Chen Yang felt her palms were soft and delicate. The moment they touched his skin, he felt a surge of heat in his heart. He quickly and gently withdrew his hand, smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and obediently sat down at the dining table, no longer causing trouble.

Before long, Song Mengmeng brought all the food to the table, including steaming dumplings and several delicate side dishes, all with an enticing aroma.

She untied her apron, folded it neatly, and placed it aside, smiling as she said, "Alright, it's all done. Come and try my dumplings and see if they suit your taste."

As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and took out a steaming, plump dumpling.

She carefully blew on it, then held it directly to Chen Yang's lips, her tone gentle: "Open your mouth quickly."
