âUncle~â
âYou should go out! If you get hurt again, I will be so worried!â
âI wonât go out~ I might not be able to help Uncle, but I can stay here with you! Wouldnât that make Uncle happier when cooking?â Jian Dan looked at Chu Liyuan with a serious face.
âYes!â Chu Liyuan raised his hand and touched Jian Danâs head. âThen you just watch me carefully!â
âOkay!â
Jian Dan had eaten food cooked by Uncle so many times, yet watching him cooking in the kitchen was a first, and seeing his focused expression, her lips curved up without her realizing.
A man who is serious is very handsome, and when Uncle is serious, itâs simply beyond description with mere words.
âUncle, youâre so handsome!â Jian Dan blurted out as she watched.
The hand that Chu Liyuan was moving just then suddenly stopped~
His lips turned up into a smile, he set down the knife in his hand, and in one swift motion, he pulled Jian Dan over and sealed her lips with his.
Jian Dan hadnât expected Uncle to do such a thing all of a sudden and froze, her eyes widening several times over.
âUncle, why did you suddenly do that while cooking?â
âI canât be blamed for this, because it was Jian Jian who seduced me first.â Chu Liyuanâs lips curved into a charming and devilish smile.
Picking up the knife, he resumed his earlier actions~
Jian Dan, her face flushed, glanced unconsciously towards the door and, after confirming that no one had seen, let out a sigh of relief.
âI should still go out! I feel like not only am I not helping Uncle here, but I might also be distracting him.â Jian Dan didnât wait for Chu Liyuan to reply before turning and fleeing the kitchen.
Chu Liyuan watched Jian Jianâs retreating figure, and the corners of his mouth lifted again~
When Jian Dan came out of the kitchen, she saw Kuaikuai and Zimo sitting face to face, their gazes locked onto each other.
As Jian Dan got closer, she noticed the powerful aura that made it hard for outsiders to approach.
âWhatâs going on with them twoâ¦â Jian Dan walked over and sat next to Molly and spoke.
âSis, have you ever seen a clash between queens?
Itâs happening right now!â Mollyâs eyes never left the two of them.
Besides Jian Dan, Molly now had another person she admired, and that was Jian Danâs daughter Kuaikuai.
Despite her young age, she held her own against Qiu Zimo. Although not gaining the upper hand, she had yet to lose ground either, and being able to confront her head-on for such a long time was truly not something just anyone could do.
Qiu Zimo found herself deeply intrigued by this young lass who stood unflinching despite her youth.
Finding someone who could hold a gaze with her for so long was rare, especially someone who didnât back down even after such a long time was even rarer.
This little lass demonstrated such fortitude at such a young age, she was bound to become someone significant in the future.
âThey wonât actually start fighting, will they?â Jian Dan muttered worriedly to herself.
âDonât worry! They wonât. A queensâ duel doesnât require physical combat, they have their own ways of coming to blows.â
âThen what will be the outcome?â
âEither theyâll become respectable adversaries, or theyâll become sworn enemies!â
âEnemies? That canât happen! How could they become enemies? Absolutely not!â Jian Dan stood up and walked over decisively.
As Jian Dan approached, the aura around both of them unconsciously retracted a lot.
âYou two wonât become enemies, right?â Jian Danâs IQ seemed to drop at the moment, as she directly voiced her inner thoughts.
âWhy would we become enemies?â Qiu Zimo asked with a light smile.
âNo? Thatâs good then!â As long as they didnât become enemies, Jian Dan was relieved.
âMom, why would you think we would become enemies?â Kuaikuai asked, puzzled.
âMolly just said it!â Jian Dan turned and pointed at Molly behind her.
Molly was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hands, âI didnât say anything!â Both individuals were not ones she could afford to offend.
âWhat do you mean you didnât? You clearly justâ¦â
âI didnât!â Molly flatly denied.
Jian Dan was left without a defense, looking pitifully at Qiu Zimo and Kuaikuai.
In tacit understanding, after exchanging a glance, they both spoke simultaneously, âYou donât need to worry!â
âThatâs right, itâs a case of lamenting not having met sooner!â Kuaikuai added.
âIndeed, we hit it off very well!â@@novelbin@@
Hearing them speak like this, Jian Danâs tense emotions began to ease slightly.
