Chapter 741

Wang Yan's capabilities were naturally beyond doubt. There was no need for him to deliberately flatter or cater to anyone; simply eating and chatting normally with him was enough to make people feel happy. If one had to describe him with an adjective, it would probably be "neither servile nor overbearing." In fact, what he did was far better than that phrase suggested. In short, being around him felt like a spring breeze—comfortable, relaxed, and thoroughly enjoyable.

He knew too much. He could talk about anything, and there was never an awkward lull in the conversation, nor was there any of the embarrassment that came with meeting someone for the first time. He was also very good at guiding others to speak. He acted as the listener, and a simple hum of acknowledgment or a nod at the right moment was more than enough.

As a result, Xu Hongmi, who had originally been extremely busy—either on her phone making calls, checking emails, or replying to messages—actually put down her phone and enjoyed a proper meal from start to finish.

Little Bell was even happier. Eating with adults in the past had meant she ate by herself, while they only paid attention to her when serving her food, wiping her mouth, or teasing her now and then. Other than that, no one really talked to her. But now, she could talk too! Her newly acquainted little uncle-in-law was always smiling. He served her food and listened seriously to what she said—not perfunctorily, but seriously...

By the time they finished eating, it was already dark. They took another stroll around town, snapped plenty of pictures, and ate quite a few snacks before driving back to Yunmiao Village, which had already quieted down after the day's bustle.

It was past ten at night.
