Chapter 289 Private Jiang Yao steps out!
Jiang Yao narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, adjusted her tone, and approached and asked softly, "Master, I want to eat soup dumplings. Let's go eat with my sister, okay?"

"I don't want to eat soup dumplings..." He refused neatly without a trace of warmth, "Ningning, what do you think?"

"Don't you want to eat? I think soup dumplings are pretty good."

"Then let's eat soup dumplings. I was just joking just now. I haven't eaten them for a long time. Now that you mentioned that, I even miss them a little. So I decided happily."

"Are you a human being? Chen Yuan." Jiang Yao couldn't help but stamp her feet.

"What's wrong, Yaoyao?" Jiang Ning asked with concern, "Didn't Chenzi agree?"

"But I said he disagreed, and he agreed as soon as you said it. This is unfair, this is discrimination!"

"It's enough to have some to eat. You're so troublesome... Okay, okay, don't be angry, this is for you." Chen Yuan said, stuffing the suitcase into her hands.

Then he walked in front, talking and laughing with Jiang Ning.

"I..." Jiang Yao bit her lip and widened her eyes, "I..."

After a moment, she caught up with him and said aggrievedly:

"Wait for me, you guys."

……

Meeting parents, no matter how you weaken the concept of this event, its significance cannot be weakened.

Along the way, Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao discussed this matter with Chen Yuan endlessly. They each held different opinions and no one could convince the other.

Arrived at the soup dumpling restaurant.

Still eating and talking.

"In fact, just leave a good impression. I can understand what you said about the different customs in different places, but didn't you listen to what the young master said? Just have a simple meal and don't think about other things. If there is a chance to meet again in the future, we can discuss a formal meeting then."

"Won't the other party's parents think it's frivolous? There's no sense of ceremony, what if they misunderstand it?" Jiang Ning wiped her mouth and said lightly: "Yaoyao, think about it, if it was Chen Yuan who went to see our mommy and he didn't prepare anything, what would she do?"

"What would you think?" Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"They will definitely be considered unruly and blacklisted. After they leave, they will definitely complain about us for three days and three nights."

"What you said is true." After her sister said this, Jiang Yao even imagined the scene in her mind.

"Auntie, are you so...rules-conscious?" Chen Yuan thought for a long time before finally finding the right adjective.

"So, judging by my own experience, I think that preparing gifts of sufficient size is the only way to show our appreciation. The first impression is so important."

"No need. You don't have to pick them up as I said. We can have a meal together when we get home. Then on the way here, I'll briefly tell them that I have a girlfriend now and let them be mentally prepared. My parents shouldn't mind anything."

"Um...are you sure you can?"

"Of course, because I'm the one who makes the decision anyway. It's good enough for them to know that I have a girlfriend. Otherwise, if they say they want to buy a house now and introduce me to a blind date later, I'll be confused."

Chen Yuan thought about it and felt that his mother would definitely be capable of such a thing.

There are many parents who strictly forbid their children from falling in love before high school, and they treat any sign of it as a serious enemy!
It’s not even possible to have a good relationship with the opposite sex in the class and go home together.

When the children go to college, they hope that a girlfriend will fall from the sky that day, preferably one who is virtuous and sensible.

But these parents never think that communicating with and pursuing girls also requires skills and training. Since childhood, they dare not open their mouths when they see beautiful girls, and always follow their parents' ideas and keep a distance.

How can I learn to chase girls by suddenly opening up my Ren and Du meridians?
Wouldn't that mean he just played games in the dormitory, in a daze, and had never tasted the sourness of love until he graduated from college.

Mother Chen is completely typical.

She would even sneak into Chen Yuan's room to see if he had a diary.

Some time ago, when I was talking to Chen Yuan on the phone, we had a very obscure chat about Ke Bing and the girl from the same school who was a teacher's family. His words were mostly praises, and I don't know what he was planning.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan has an open-minded adoptive father, otherwise it would be difficult for him to grow up so healthily.

"Well, Chen Zai said so. I don't object. Let's try to be natural and have a meal together tomorrow. If uncle and aunt come to see the scenery of Lanjing, we can go together. That's great."

"I don't know about that. I haven't heard them say whether they want to stay or not."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he picked up the chopsticks again, and Ningning and Yaoyao continued their discussion.

He looked at the two of them, and suddenly there was a sense of anticipation in his heart...

He really wanted to see how interesting the expressions on his parents' faces would be when they knew he had two "future girlfriends".

Facing such a major event in life, Chen Yuan actually felt the same as his two sisters, with some subtle anxiety.

In the blink of an eye, I went to college.

In the blink of an eye, we were in love in real life.

All of a sudden, he no longer needed to hide from his parents that he had found someone he loved.

The scene of him coming home late from playing at the stadium and being scolded by his mother, and his father advising him flashed through his mind, as if it happened yesterday.

It also seems like a century away.

Chen Yuan suddenly understood what it felt like to grow up. Perhaps it was because in many sudden moments, he realized that he was drifting further and further away from his younger self in the past, and he couldn't even see the shadow of that little figure.

He stayed in the classroom where he studied hard, in the dilapidated primary school, on the playground where he slipped and fell every time he stepped on it during the heavy rain, and next to the old stone flower bed.

Turning around to look again, that was not the case. The shadows suddenly disappeared, and the only evidence of their existence was some traces. However, at the time, I thought it was just normal.

Disagreeing with Chen Yuan's slightly melancholy mood, the two sisters were nervous, but the rest was filled with endless happiness and they didn't know how to celebrate.

No matter what the result of this meeting with the parents is, at least Chen Yuan has finally moved back from that small apartment, proving that the gap in his heart caused by the deception has disappeared, and he has accepted the fact that he is in a relationship with two girls.

It is really not easy to get to this point.

They have made countless efforts, just to enjoy an ordinary love like normal people.

Now you can say it was just a coincidence.

Those who work hard will eventually be rewarded.

From now on, I don’t have to worry anymore and can sleep well every night.

So, when the two sisters went to the apartment with Chen Yuan to move things, smiles were on their cheeks. Even though the hot weather made them sweat and their faces turned red like fire during the moving process, they still didn't feel tired.

Chen Yuan suggested taking a break. Beads of sweat were oozing out of Jiang Ning's lips. She shook her head and rejected the suggestion. She handed over the bottle of mineral water and turned around to go back to work.

The playful flying hair appeared at the corner and disappeared in a flash.

……

"Private Jiang Yao!"

"!" Hearing her sister's call, Jiang Yao put down the iced cola in her hand, was stunned for only half a second, and then stood up: "Here! Commander Ningning, please give me your instructions."

"Hold your chest high, lift your head, and stick your butt out!"

"?"

"Snapshot done."

The corner of Jiang Yao's mouth twitched, and she took a deep breath, straightened her round and plump chest, and during this time she did not forget to glare at Chen Yuan who was snickering, and showed him her bright white teeth as a threat.

After a busy whole day, I managed to move almost all the things in the apartment. Now the room 1302 is finally not so empty anymore and has returned to its previous appearance.

This scene just now.

In fact, it was because Jiang Ning went out to buy some chestnuts, fruits and the like. She would take out some of them and put them on the table tomorrow to make it look nice. I have to say that Ningning is very meticulous.

The three of them were extremely tired, so they sat around the coffee table talking and eating fruit.

Ningning peeled the oranges and went to feed Chen Yuan. Yaoyao kept pestering her, saying that they should cook together tomorrow, hoping that she would not end up staying there in the kitchen without doing anything and leaving a bad impression.

Jiang Ning was speechless.

She had wanted to teach Yaoyao countless times before, hoping that she could learn it so that she wouldn't go hungry at home alone. But she refused to learn, and kept shouting that as long as her sister was around, she wouldn't starve to death, even if she had to eat takeout.

I started working in the kitchen only after I met Chen Yuan.

What I have learned so far is just enough to get me through a bit of hard work. I can cook noodles and fry eggs, but if I do anything more complicated, my brain will easily freeze.

So Jiang Ning scolded her for what she had done earlier.

Yaoyao would not give up until she achieved her goal. She used all kinds of martial arts, acted like a spoiled child to please others, and even encouraged Chen Yuan to say a few nice words to persuade Ningning.

This hit Jiang Ning's soft spot.

After some hesitation, Jiang Ning had to agree because Chen Yuan asked, but she also made some requests.

Don't make things worse! Don't disobey orders! Don't pretend!

Whatever she tells her to do, Yaoyao will do it. If she messes up the meal, she will never forgive Jiang Yao and will never give in no matter what.

Jiang Yao nodded vigorously immediately.

"Sister, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. You will be my commander tomorrow, and I will be your subordinate. You only need to give orders and I will definitely follow them... No, I am already one now."

Yaoyao expressed her loyalty.

Jiang Ning didn't believe it so easily, but started training directly.

She knew her sister too well. To her sister, things like pretending to obey but actually disobeying were as easy as eating and drinking.

"Sister, I will definitely be obedient..." Jiang Yao pursed her lips slightly and spoke in a soft voice.

"Why call me sister! There are no sisters on the battlefield, only superiors and subordinates!" Jiang Ning slammed the table.

"Yes!! Commander Ningning!"

Chen Yuan was the first one who couldn't hold it anymore. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he covered his stomach and laughed out loud "Hahahaha". He fell to the side, hugged the sofa pillow, and his shoulders kept shaking.

It would be better if he didn't smile.

This smile made Jiang Yao's cheeks turn red instantly. She felt embarrassed and ashamed. She bit her moist lips angrily, with a resentful look in her eyes, like a bullied puppy.

"What are you laughing at?" Ningning hit Chen Yuan's leg.

It doesn't hurt, it's just an act.

"I think it's great... just fun," Chen Yuan waved his hands, overjoyed: "Go on, you guys go on."

"This is obviously a very serious matter. If you mess up, the consequences will be serious. Don't you think about it?"

"I understand, Commander Ningning." Chen Yuan nodded.

"Okay, everyone listen to my instructions tomorrow! No one is allowed to drag their feet, otherwise..." Jiang Ning narrowed her eyes, picked up Chen Yuan's belt and slammed it on the table, "Punish me!"

Chen Yuan and Jiang Yao looked at each other, then lowered their heads in tacit understanding.

He is the fake head of the family, and Yaoyao is at the bottom of the food chain. It is self-evident who the real head of the family is.

The night of their reunion was very warm, and the picture of the three of them together was unexpectedly harmonious, which was unimaginable before. If you ask Ningning and Yaoyao, who had been fighting and refused to give in, they would never have thought that there would be such a warm moment.

It was as if all their edges were softened by the rare warmth of being in the same room.

Let’s look forward to tomorrow and the future together.

There is nothing better than this.

Jiang Ning listened to Chen Yuan talk about his parents' personalities, how they got together, and how they took care of Chen Yuan as he grew up, and gradually sketched out a suitable outline of the two elders whom she had never met.

Jiang Yao also listened carefully, but her soft little hands never stopped peeling the orange. Occasionally, when she wanted to take a breath, a gaze of scrutiny immediately came over.

"Keep peeling!"

"Yes... Commander Ningning."

……

The next morning.

Chen Yuan woke up from the sound of hurried footsteps. He sat on the bed for a long time, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He finally came to his senses. He stood up and looked around with messy hair.

Suddenly I remembered that I moved back home last night.

No wonder he slept so soundly, he thought to himself.

Just like the hotel he stayed in for a while, he still couldn't get used to the small apartment, and now he can finally feel like he's back "home".

It's not warm there, it's warm here.

Chen Yuan listened to the footsteps outside. Yesterday he thought that Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao might sleep with him, or someone might sneak over to sleep with him, but this was just a dream.

Because Ningning is back, such extraordinary things will be strictly controlled. Unless someone couldn't go home due to the last rainstorm, or there is an ambiguous relationship between them, they will sleep in the same bed. Jiang Yao can't come even if she wants to.

He played with his phone for quite a while and naturally fell asleep.

Chen Yuan opened the door with a "click" and walked into the living room with his upper body naked. Jiang Yao bumped into him head-on with a bunch of kitchen utensils in her arms.

"Hiss..." He was in pain and held his stomach.

"Master, I'm sorry I ran too fast. Are you okay?" Jiang Yao hurriedly touched his belly and asked with a worried look on his face.

"It's alright, what are you doing?"

Through a glass door, the busy Jiang Ning called softly, "Yaoyao? Where's she?"

"Here I come!" Jiang Yao stood up quickly, and rushed over like a gust of wind. After running a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back, touching Chen Yuan's belly again, "Young Master, you have nice abdominal muscles, boo boo! Good morning~"

She flirted, kissed, said good morning, and then walked away.

The whole process left Chen Yuan dumbfounded.

He looked towards the kitchen again. The door was already filled with all kinds of fresh ingredients, and most of the pots, pans, and utensils had been moved in. He guessed that the two sisters had gotten up early to start preparing.

It looks like he's ready to do something big.
