"Mmm~"
Yan Bingxue opened her small mouth, her white teeth biting into the lamb skewer. She took a gentle bite, the grilled flavor lingering on her taste buds.
The outside was slightly crispy from the grill, while the inside was tender and juicy. It tasted really good.
Yan Bingxue's eyes lit up. Seeing this, Su Chen raised an eyebrow triumphantly and smiled, "Did I lie to you? Don't let the fact that this place is in a snack street fool you; the taste is even better than in those fancy hotels outside!"
"Mhm, it's quite good. A chef like this being in this location is a bit of a waste of talent," Yan Bingxue glanced at the barbecue chef and said calmly, turning her head back.
Now, only Lele hadn't eaten. Mommy had tried it, and Mommy said it tasted good, so should he try it or not?
The little guy stared at the barbecue in front of him, his eyes unfocused. His small mouth was slightly open, a drop of clear saliva clinging to the corner, about to fall.
Su Chen found his son's behavior amusing. He wanted to eat but was too embarrassed. Why should a grown man be like this?
He raised his hand and placed the meat skewer directly into his son's mouth.
Lele was caught off guard. His slightly open mouth was filled with grilled meat. If he spat it out, he'd regret losing the delicious flavor that had just entered his mouth. If he swallowed it, he felt like he'd be betraying his earlier disgusted expression...
Tuantuan then took a bite of meat and deliberately chewed it in front of her brother with her little baby teeth, "Hehe~ So delicious!"
"You should try it quickly!"
She pulled the wooden skewer that Su Chen had placed, and the meat skewers slid entirely into Lele's mouth.
Seeing Lele's cheeks puffing out as he ate the barbecue, Tuantuan immediately giggled, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
Su Chen saw this and pushed the plates towards the three of them, smiling, "Eat up, I ordered a lot. After this, there are still two more plates!"
Yan Bingxue nodded, the corners of her mouth unconsciously lifting slightly.
Just then, her phone buzzed with a WeChat message.
It was from Gu Yuxin.
Gu Yuxin: "Sissy darling, what are you doing? Where did you go to celebrate after getting your marriage certificate? You're not replying to me anymore, boo hoo~"
Yan Bingxue hadn't said much to her after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau. Too many incredible things had happened tonight, and she herself hadn't fully processed the immense surprise. She didn't know how to explain it to Gu Yuxin.
Seeing Gu Yuxin send another message asking, Yan Bingxue simply took another photo. The picture showed the tempting barbecue on the table, with Su Chen's well-defined knuckles peeking out from the corner.
Gu Yuxin: "This is... barbecue? And the table is from a roadside stall! Sissy darling, you actually went to eat roadside barbecue for Su Chen! Is this the power of love!"
Yan Bingxue: "The taste here is good. It's from the snack street next to Su Chen's university. I'll bring you here next time."
Gu Yuxin: "!!! You refused to go eat at that dingy little alley restaurant with me before, but you went to a snack street roadside stall just because Su Chen said so! Darling, what happened to your principles and your obsessive cleanliness? Don't you have any left for Su Chen at all! Boo hoo!"
Yan Bingxue: "Mhm."
"His confident and sincere gaze moved me, and the taste here is really great. Su Chen has excellent taste!"
Gu Yuxin: "...Darling, I just love how direct and cool you are!"
Gu Yuxin on the other end of the phone almost choked with anger on the spot, but what could she do? She chose her best friend, so she had to spoil her!
They ate barbecue for almost two hours. Su Chen paid the bill and took Yan Bingxue and the two children back to the residential complex.
It was the perfect time for an evening cool-down. The complex where Su Chen rented was a bit old and housed many elderly residents. In the evenings, the grandpas and grandmas liked to sit in the exercise area by the entrance of the complex, fanning themselves and chatting.
Suddenly, they saw a new car drive in, and the grandpas and grandmas started discussing it.
"Oh, whose family bought a new car? This car looks really nice!"
"Old Man Li, you don't know cars anymore! This is a luxury car, a Rolls-Royce. The cheapest one costs over six million! This car clearly isn't the most basic model, it must be more expensive, maybe tens of millions!"
"What? A car worth tens of millions driving into our complex? Old Man Sun, I think you're getting senile!"
"Hey! You don't believe me? Then let's go take a look, see for ourselves! My son told me a lot about cars before, I'm sure this is a Rolls-Royce!"
"You two old fellows stop arguing, let's go see whose relative it is, driving such a nice car!"
The grandpas and grandmas, eager for some excitement, all stood up and followed behind the Rolls-Royce.
The car stopped in a parking spot in front of the building, and Su Chen got out.
At this moment, the grandpas and grandmas from earlier also walked over.
One of them, Aunt Lin, was Su Chen's neighbor. As soon as she saw Su Chen, she exclaimed in surprise, "Little Su?"
Su Chen had moved in a little over a month ago. Aunt Lin lived opposite him, and they saw each other often. The aunt was also enthusiastic, often giving her homegrown vegetables to neighbors. Su Chen didn't cook, so he never accepted the vegetables, but he did accept fruit.
"Aunt Lin, out for some cool air!"
"Yes! Little Su, your car is..." Aunt Lin asked curiously.
"Auntie, I just picked up this car. Also, this parking spot seems to be for my unit, right? I noticed no one was using it, so I just parked here."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Aunt Lin said excitedly, "This is the parking spot for your unit. Little Su, I didn't expect you to buy a car right before graduating from university! What kind of car is this? Old Man Sun just said it was called something like Rolls something, and it's very expensive!"
"It's a Rolls-Royce, I got it for 170 million," Su Chen said.
The grandpas and grandmas behind him were so shocked they thought they misheard.
170 million for a car?
170 million could buy their entire old complex and still have change!
Young people these days, renting apartments in old complexes but buying cars worth 170 million – their ideas were certainly avant-garde!
"Little Su, you're amazing! With a car this expensive, I feel like our entire neighborhood just got a price increase!"
"This car is fantastic! It's even better than the ones my son showed me before! Little Su, can I take a picture? I want to show it to my son!"
"Of course, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he opened the passenger door to let Yan Bingxue out, who had been blocked by Auntie Lin. Then, he carried Tuantuan and Lele down from the back seat.
The elderly couple looked at the three of them, their faces full of questions.
"Little Su, who is this beautiful young lady and these two adorable children?"
"Auntie, this is my wife, Yan Bingxue. These two are my son and daughter, a pair of twins, Lele and Tuantuan."
The elderly couple's faces were filled with shock.
"Little Su, you're married!"
"Such a beautiful wife, Little Su, you're truly blessed!"
"And a pair of adorable twins, and a rare boy-girl set! Little Su, you and your wife are so good at having kids! Look at these two little darlings, how cute they are!"
"Little Su, I never expected you'd be married with children and buy such an expensive car. With you living in our neighborhood, we old folks will have something to brag about when we go out!"
Hearing their words, Su Chen looked at Yan Bingxue, who was beside him with slightly shy, pursed lips, and couldn't help but smile, a wide grin spreading across his face.
"Everyone, it's getting late, and the children are tired. I'll take them upstairs first. I'll bring some candy back another day and treat you all to wedding sweets!"
He had gotten his marriage certificate hastily today and hadn't prepared anything.
Moreover, at such an important moment, he naturally wouldn't leave his wife and children to go buy candy!
"Alright, alright, hurry upstairs!"
Su Chen carried Tuantuan in one arm and held Yan Bingxue's hand, with Lele following behind his mother. The family of four went upstairs together.
Pushing the door open, Yan Bingxue stood at the entrance and looked inside.
Hmm~ The place seems pretty good.
Although the apartment wasn't large, the interior was neatly decorated, and the room was spotlessly clean. A bouquet of fresh lilies was placed in the vase by the door.
Unexpectedly, Su Chen was quite good at living!
There was a small plush toy on the sofa that immediately caught Tuantuan's attention.
The little girl rushed over, hugging the small pink rabbit with delight. "Daddy~ Bunny~ Tuantuan loves the pink bunny the most~"
"Really? This is the bunny Daddy caught from a claw machine with his roommate last time. If Tuantuan likes it, it's yours!"
Yan Bingxue looked at the tag on the rabbit; it was still there, with no price. It really looked like it had been taken directly from a claw machine and untouched.
But Su Chen actually went to claw machines? With his roommate... that should be all guys, right?
If it were with a girl, then this bunny should have been given away!
Yes, it must have been guys!
Who says guys can't play claw machines!
She imagined Su Chen and a few big men standing in front of a claw machine, looking anxious when they couldn't get a prize, and her lips couldn't help but curve upwards.
"Honey, my little apartment is definitely not as big as yours. There are only two rooms. The master bedroom has a double bed, and there's another guest room with a bunk bed. It'll be enough for our family to live in!"
Enough, perhaps, but how would they sleep?
Yan Bingxue looked at the two bedrooms, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinking a few times, a faint blush appearing on her usually cold and elegant face.
