Chapter: 1005

"But. My appetite had already been spoiled by her culinary skills, so no matter where I went to eat, I couldn't help feeling that it was all just the same old thing. This kind of feeling is actually quite painful too."

Xiao Gong sighed and said: "Well, that's true. People are easy to indulge in luxuries but hard to give up extravagance. If I were you, I wouldn't be interested in any food or dishes outside even if they're delicious."

Xiao Jian listened to his father's subtle implication and felt a bit uncomfortable. He then picked up his drink and said to Han Meiqing: "Han auntie, let me toast you with this cup. You must have been exhausted after returning from America. This cup is for you to wash away your fatigue."

Han Meiqing quickly picked up her drink and laughed, saying: "Thank you, Jian. Then let's just drink this cup of wine instead."

Xiao Jian slightly touched his cup with Han Meiqing's and simultaneously couldn't help but sigh and say: "Ah, if my mom were at home, it would be so much better. She has been nagging about you for many years, and she must be very happy to know that you're back."

As soon as Xiao Jian mentioned Ma Ran, the expressions of Xiao Gong and Han Meiqing both became a bit unnatural.

Both of them were well aware that Xiao Jian was deliberately saying this out loud to remind them not to forget that there is still her mom in this family, even though she's not here now. She is still the mistress of this household!

Han Meiqing's dignified expression couldn't help but show a hint of awkwardness as she forced a smile and said: "I haven't seen your mom for many years. I'm actually quite eager to see her too."

After saying that, she looked at Xiao Gong and asked: "By the way, Constantine, where did Ma Ran go? Why isn't he at home?"

Xiao Gong hurriedly said, "She's gone back to her mom's house for the past two days and will probably be back in a few days."

Because Han Meiqing's cooking skills are really excellent, everyone had eaten their fill.

Although Xiao Ran secretly had some dissatisfaction with Han Meiqing, he completely lacked any resistance to her culinary skills.

As someone who usually emphasized dietary restrictions, she surprisingly ate three times more than usual tonight.

Leaf Chen and Old Master Xiao Gong didn't even need to say anything; the two of them ate everything on their plates like a whirlwind, leaving almost nothing behind, not even soup.

After finishing dinner, Xiao Gong secretly put his hand under the table and loosened his belt to temporarily alleviate his bloated stomach.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think to himself: "Han Meiqing is indeed perfect in every aspect. If I really could divorce Ma Ran and be with her, it would be like going from the 18th layer of hell straight to heaven."

Even Leaf Chen couldn't help but fantasize about it, if Old Master Xiao Gong could be with Han Meiqing, his own days would be much more carefree from then on.

Han Meiqing's mother-in-law was indeed perfect in every way, and you wouldn't even find her under a lamp. And she cooked so well too, if she were to become one's own "mother-in-law", one could spare the trouble of cooking afterwards.

Unfortunately, he couldn't let Ma Ran just disappear into thin air.

Next, after finishing dinner, he would have to go and talk to Chen Zekai about how to get Ma Ran out of custody.

After dinner, Han Meiqing took charge of cleaning up the dining room and kitchen.

Leaf Chen hurriedly wanted to take over, but she didn't let him intervene, saying that household matters should be handled by women in the first place.

Once everything was tidied up, Han Meiqing opened her mouth to say to the family: "It's getting late, Paul and I won't bother you all today, thank you for your hospitality. I had a wonderful time eating this meal!"

Xiao Gong hurriedly said: "Ah, Mei Qing, it's thanks to you that we got to savor such a bountiful Suhang family dinner, and it also fulfilled my wish that has been over 20 years in the making."

Han Meiqing smiled and nodded her head, thinking that for her too, it was fulfilling a long-held wish, but since she was with Xiao Gong's face, many things she couldn't say, so she just said: "Okay, we won't bother you all. You stay, we'll leave first." JrNovels.com
