"Grandpa, I don't want to take on this hot potato."

Jiang Cheng shook his head and declined with a smile.

"What might be a hot potato for others, I'll back you up, old man."

Old Master Qin spoke slowly, his tone becoming serious, with a hint of menace in it.

"If you're interested, who would dare say a word?!"

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was deeply moved, and then half-jokingly said,

"Grandpa, I'm used to being carefree and independent, and I can't stand all those rules and regulations."

In other words, it's laziness!

That was his honest opinion; he had no interest in fame or fortune.

Instead of wasting time, it would be better to spend more time with Qin Yan and the others.

That's what you call carefree and happy; he doesn't want to create trouble for himself.

Moreover, because of that little girl Xingyue, Wen Qing was very grateful to him, and her attitude was already quite different.

This means he already has connections within the official Ancient Martial Artist organization, and he's even the top leader!

With this relationship in place, why would he need to personally go through the trouble, effort, and time?

Haha~

Old Master Qin was taken aback at first, then stroked his beard and laughed.

"You're a very honest kid, but you suit this old man's taste just the way you like."

In fact, he was quite satisfied with Jiang Cheng's personality and character.

Authentic, unpretentious, and say what I think!

Unlike some scions of Capital families who, despite their ambitions, feign indifference and appear aloof and detached.

In contrast, he admired Jiang Cheng's straightforward nature more.

Moreover, being with his grandson-in-law made him feel like he was young again.

It gives you a sense of ease and exhilaration, like chatting and laughing with your comrades on the battlefield while making the enemy run around in disarray.

"That's good too, spend more time with Yan'er when you have time."

Old Master Qin spoke slowly.

He originally just wanted to ask Jiang Cheng's opinion.

If his grandson-in-law is willing, the Qin Family will naturally give their full support.

It's okay if he doesn't want to; we can seize the opportunity to let him hold his great-grandson as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, at the Qin Family...

"Ahem~ Little Yan'er, why don't you try it first?"

Looking at the delicious dishes laid out on the table, Ding Shengnan rested her chin on her hand and cautiously began to speak.

Qin Yan raised an eyebrow and asked in return,

"Hmm, you don't trust our cooking skills?"

They followed the steps one by one, so what could be wrong with that?

Look at the presentation. Although it can't compare to the dishes prepared by the chefs at state banquets, it's still passable.

Upon hearing this, Ding Shengnan's lips twitched.

We only watched two hours of instructional videos in total, and we were learning and doing at the same time.

What kind of skill could someone possibly have?

Although that bastard is annoying, he still cheated him and used him as a guinea pig.

She still felt a little guilty.

Of course, this was definitely not because she was worried about that bastard's life.

patting her full chest, Ding Shengnan thought to herself.

"I believe it, I definitely believe it."

Noticing Qin Yan's confident expression, Ding Shengnan nodded hastily.

But in his heart he thought, "Never mind!"

That bastard is Martial Artist; his physical abilities are far superior to those of ordinary people.

Even if there's a small problem, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

"That's fine."

Upon hearing Ding Shengnan's words, Qin Yan curled her red lips into a satisfied smile.

Then, he began to offer advice with great care and confidence.

"Shengnan, let me tell you, the best way to win a man's heart is through his stomach."

"When we eat later, just say that you made all these dishes yourself, it'll definitely come in handy..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Shengnan couldn't help but cough twice.

"Um... Xiao Yan'er, I think it's better if we share the credit."

"I can't let you suffer a loss, can I?"

Ding Shengnan quickly added, feeling slightly guilty.

Seeing her best friend's serious expression, Qin Yan thought about it and decided not to refuse.

Although she relied on her perseverance day and night and her skillful practice, it was still nice to occasionally give Jiang Cheng a little surprise.

Just then, a conversation reached the ears of the two women.

I'm back!

Qin Yan was overjoyed and excitedly got up and walked to the door.

"Grandpa, you're finally back! Come and eat!"

Holding Jiang Cheng's arm, Qin Yan smiled.

"Haha~ You little rascal, you must be missing Xiao Jiang terribly."

While making a joke, Old Master Qin walked to the dining table and sat down.

Qin Yan gave a soft snort, not denying it, and she and Ding Shengnan surrounded Jiang Cheng on the left and right.

"Huh, this food..."

Old Master Qin noticed that the color of the food was different from usual, and he was a little puzzled.

Qin Yan pursed her red lips, "Grandpa, this whole meal took Shengnan and me most of the day to prepare."

Old Master Qin was taken aback at first, then smiled and said...

"Looks like I'll have to give it a good try today."

He picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. In an instant, Old Master Qin was stunned.

However, under the expectant gazes of his granddaughter and Shengnan, he forced himself to say something.

"Cough~ It tastes good."

Then, while putting down his chopsticks, he began to speak.

"Xiao Jiang, you should try it while it's hot too."

Jiang Cheng's eyelids twitched, but under the watchful eyes of the two women, he still tasted each dish one by one.

Well, most of them actually tasted alright, just a little too fresh.

"I'm glad you like it. I'll make it for you every day from now on."

Qin Yan blinked her beautiful eyes and spoke with a smile.

Ding Shengnan was also greatly encouraged.

So, they're really that talented at cooking?

Hmm, there's no need for that!

Jiang Cheng chuckled awkwardly twice and quickly changed the subject.

"Grandpa, I plan to go back to Jiang Cheng tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, all three people at the table were taken aback.

After realizing what was happening, Old Master Qin nodded, gave a few brief instructions, and then took the opportunity to go upstairs.

"Are you really leaving?"

Qin Yan looked reluctant, biting her luscious red lips, just like a kitten abandoned by its owner.

Jiang Cheng patted her head and nodded seriously.

"I've been in Capital for quite some time now, and things are almost settled."

Seeing that Qin Yan wasn't in a good mood, he jokingly added,

"It's not like we'll never see each other again. That's not like Miss Qin at all."

Pshaw~ She's just putting on an act. Does this little man really think she can't bear to part with him?

Are you kidding me!

Qin Yan gave a haughty snort, crossed her arms, and sat on the chair, striking a calm and composed pose.

With a helpless smile, Jiang Cheng glanced at the food on the table and suddenly felt a chill.

He left with a "I'm full" and hurried upstairs.

Watching Jiang Cheng's retreating figure, and then glancing at the barely touched food on the table, Qin Yan gritted her teeth.

He then exchanged a glance with Ding Shengnan and simultaneously reached for his chopsticks.

Then... the two women looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.

"Xiao Yan'er, I don't think this method is suitable for us."

Ding Shengnan stared longingly at Qin Yan, who nodded slightly, but her face clearly showed her unwillingness to admit defeat.

After washing up, Ding Shengnan lay in bed, the words Jiang Cheng had said about leaving echoing in her mind.

For a moment, my thoughts were a jumbled mess.
