Chapter 117

Having laid out the egg pancake, Xu Lin casually whipped up a vegetable salad.

Though he’s only at Chinese cooking level 2, he believes that mastering the basics is crucial in cooking.

Moreover, making a salad doesn’t require much skill.

Glancing at the yogurt, strawberries, and blueberries in the fridge, he simply mixed them together and divided them into 4 or 5 bowls.

Breakfast comprised milk, eggs, vegetables, and fruits, making it both healthy and satisfying in portion size.

“Mr. Xu, I think from now on, you should come over and cook at my place.”

“I go jogging in the morning, how would I have time to make breakfast for you?”

“Mr. Xu~ No love left~ Really.”

Saying that, she hooked her arms around his neck, planting a warm kiss on his neck.

“It tickles... Let go of me.”

“No, do you want to cook for me? No, for us. Aren’t you supposed to be a scumbag? Why are you acting like a straight guy, needing me to remind you to help us cook?”

“Cough!”

The two looked towards the door and found Ji Yun standing there with her indifferent little face staring at them.

“Sorry... I can’t be handsy.” Chu Qingchan immediately withdrew her hand and stood aside obediently.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

“What kind of cooperation terms have you reached if you can’t be handsy?” Xu Lin looked at Ji Yun with interest, amused by Chu Qingchan’s sudden compliance.

“Can we really talk about this?” Ji Yun glanced at Chu Qingchan, feeling a bit embarrassed to explain.

“The little girl is shy. It’s just that we agreed not to have physical contact with you without the other person’s knowledge,” Chu Qingchan explained.

“Well... I’m not some delicate flower. You can touch me as you like, I don’t mind!”

“But we mind.”

“Then don’t touch me anymore, forget about breakfast.”

“Ji Yun, look at him~ He doesn’t want to cook for us.”

Chu Qingchan ran to Ji Yun’s side and hugged her, pressing their cheeks together.

Xu Lin instantly felt that his little brother moved a little.

Fortunately, he was very good at pressing the gun down, so even with a pretty girl close by, he wasn’t affected!

“Xu Lin, since we go to school together in the morning, let’s eat together.”

“Well, then you guys have to run me too. I can come earlier and make some breakfast, and then we can eat together before exercising.”

“But you guys can run to school, whereas I don’t go to school. Do I have to run back alone?”

“As a big star, you can take a taxi back.”

“So troublesome.”

“Are you still having breakfast?” Xu Lin looked at the other party with everything under control, who finally nodded slightly.

“But don’t complain that I can’t keep up.”

“Don’t we still have Ji Yun? No problem.”

“Hello, Uncle, is my sister coming over next week? Alright! Money... No no, I can barely afford meals, let alone that!”

Entering the small bedroom, he quickly lowered his voice, and his father-in-law on the other end also responded.

“What are you saying, kid? I can’t understand.”

“You should thank me properly, you were almost in trouble.”

“What trouble? Why are you saying ominous things so early in the morning?”

“No, Uncle Ji, Auntie is over here, and I’m over at Chu Qingchan’s place. Coincidentally, Auntie came over here and sat for a while. She followed me over here. Ji Yun slept with Chu Qingchan here last night.”

“This girl, bothering Miss Chu every day, wait... you’re saying Auntie is still outside?!”

“So I just pretended to receive a phone call. You need to come up with a reason to say you’ve gone out, so Auntie doesn’t know. You know she’s back.”

“I understand, I understand. From the way you’re talking, did Ji Yun talk to her mom?”

“Yeah, so far it seems her mood is surprisingly good.”

“Yeah, only Ji Yun can keep her mom stable. Thanks, Xu Xiaozhi.”

“No problem, Uncle, we’re all family.”

“Ahem! Don’t talk nonsense, what family!”

After saying that, he hung up the phone, causing a frown on Xu Lin’s forehead.

“Ah! I just helped you out, and then you act like I’m not your son-in-law anymore! We’re all family, and that girl didn’t even let me touch her belly...

Xu Lin also felt that there were many beautiful girls around him, but none of them could... Ah!

But from his heart, he also wanted to protect them. Unless they agree, he would never force anything.

Especially with Chu Qingchan and Ji Yun’s situation, if he’s even slightly careless, it could lead to them breaking up directly.

So he has to be extra cautious to maintain this small group of two people, so that it can expand to twelve people in the future!

Leaving the bedroom he saw, Ji Yun and her mother sitting on one side, while Chu Qingchan sat on the other, none of them have eaten yet.

“Auntie, you can go ahead and eat first.”

“You just make a phone call, there’s no rush.”

“I’ll go wash my hands first.”

“I’ll go wash up too.”

Ji Yun also stood up and followed him into the bathroom, but before he could turn on the tap, he saw Ji Yun’s face flush red in the mirror.

Without sneaking a glance at him, she lowered her head, tugging at the hem of his clothes, looking oddly awkward.

As he turned around, he gently placed a hand on her forehead.

“Are you running a fever?”

“No! It’s just that...”

Her eyes were covered with mist, as she bit her red lips and said.

“Xu Lin... You wanted to rub my belly, right? You were just hugging sister Chu, so now you can touch mine, but only once... one touch at a time.”
