Yun Nan replied while scooping up some soup for the both of them, “The movie shoot went smoothly. The actors performed quite well, especially Shi Xiu. That girl is a gem!” Shi Nian felt very proud when he heard her praise his sister.

“I’ll take a rest for a few days. In the meantime, Fang Xi will arrange for the movie to be approved and schedule the movie’s release and so on. After that comes the movie promotion stage during which I’ll be quite busy.” Yun Nan stated, giving Shi Nian a brief summary of her upcoming schedule.

“Do you think you’ll have trouble getting your movie approved and released?” Shi Nian asked.

Yun Nan shook her head. “It should be fine. We’d planned to film this movie for a long time—long before I returned to the Yun family. We’d already talked to some of our seniors in the LPF back then, and everyone is glad that the movie’s finally finished filming.”

Shi Nian nodded, but he still felt a little worried. He took out his phone and sent a message to Chang Yuan, telling him to keep an eye on the movie’s proceedings.

“Did you tell Mr. MO?” Shi Nian inquired. Since she and Fang Xi were well-acquainted with Mr. MO, they could ask him to do them a favor. Things would go much easier for them with Mr. MO as a safeguard.

Yun Nan nodded and told him, “Mr. MO said he’ll attend the movie premiere and asked for the best seat in the theater.” At that, Shi Nian was finally relieved. Since Mr. MO mentioned the movie premiere, that meant the movie would have no problem getting released. Shi Nian inwardly sighed as he ate the prawns Yun Nan had peeled. He was unexpectedly more nervous about the movie than the movie’s director herself. ‘ You really do worry a lot about someone when you care about them,’ he mused.

“Has your family been here before? This penthouse, I mean.” Yun Nan suddenly asked.

Shi Nian was surprised at the question, but he still answered, “They had a look at it, yes.”

Yun Nan chuckled, “What? They left after just a quick look?”

Shi Nian nodded and explained, “They think this house is too big and austere. They don’t like the decor either. They said that… this place isn’t fit for human habitation.” Yun Nan totally understood what Shi Nian’s family meant.

“I’m free for the next couple of days, so I want to invite Grandpa, Mom, Dad, and Shi Xiu over for a meal—I’ll cook,” Yun Nan suggested. She’d wanted to cook for the Shi family for a long time now.

Shi Nian didn’t understand why she wanted them over for dinner, so Yun Nan continued, “They’re so nice to me, and I don’t have anything to repay them with, so I thought I could make them a meal. Besides, we’re legally married, and this penthouse is our home. We should invite your family over, shouldn’t we?”

‘She’s right! Shi Nian thought, elated that she’d called the penthouse ‘their home.’ Shi Nian quickly nodded and agreed, “Alright! Give me a list of ingredients you need, and I’ll go buy them. When do you want to invite them over? I’ll get Chang Yuan to change my work schedule.”

This time, Yun Nan was the one feeling confused. She didn’t know why Shi Nian was suddenly so enthusiastic, so she carefully stated, “I was just about to ask you to check with your parents and grandpa to see when they’ll have time before we take a look at your schedule. Shi Xiu and I are on vacation, so anytime will do for us.”

“Any time is fine for them, ” Shi Nian told her. “I’ll get Chang Yuan to free up time in my schedule. How does tomorrow night sound?”

Yun Nan was amazed by Shi Nian’s swift and decisive attitude and uttered,

“Sure, sounds good.”

Shi Nian asked concernedly, “Can you handle making all that food yourself? I can ask the housemaid at my parent’s house to come over and help.” Shi Nian didn’t doubt her cooking skills, but he couldn’t bear to see her work so hard.

Yun Nan hurriedly waved her hand and assured him, “No! No! It’s fine! If you ask her over, then it won’t be any different to eating at your parent’s house. I want to treat your family to a meal I made myself.”

Yun Nan said, “Then let’s go to the supermarket after this meal. That way, I can start preparing the ingredients tomorrow morning. You’ll be the chauffeur and pick up your relatives. Is that okay?”

“Okay,” Shi Nian agreed, and his heart jumped in joy. He felt like a high-spirited youth—he was in an extremely good mood.

There weren’t many people in the supermarket at night. Shi Nian pushed the cart and followed behind Yun Nan as he watched her place the items she had chosen into the cart, muttering about the dishes she planned to make. Shi Nian’s gaze followed her movements, gentle and satisfied.

The two of them were immersed in their own worlds, unaware that they’d drawn the eyes of onlookers. The passersby who saw them couldn’t help but admire the sweet atmosphere around the beautiful couple.

Yun Nan looked at the shopping cart full of groceries with great satisfaction and confidently declared, “They’ll surely love me tomorrow!”

Shi Nian frowned and retorted, “They’ll love your food, you mean.” He silently grumbled, ‘ Why would you want them to fall in love with you? What about me? Yun Nan tilted her head and smiled, “Isn’t that the same thing?”

When it was time to pay for the groceries, Yun Nan reached out, took two lollipops, and handed them to Shi Nian. Shi Nian couldn’t remember when he’d last had sweets and was at a loss when he took the lollipops.

“These are peach flavored. They’re delicious!” Yun Nan remarked.

After Shi Nian paid the bill, Yun Nan picked up the bags filled with the groceries, but then Shi Nian immediately snatched them away. He had a shopping bag in each hand, so he raised his chin, indicating to Yun Nan to walk forward.

Yun Nan felt bad about letting him carry all the bags and offered, “Here, I’ll carry one.” She reached for one of the shopping bags, but Shi Nian dodged away..
