"Yes, I will get married when I meet my soulmate. There's no rush now. Let's wait until my seventh brother gets married. Anyway, no elders are pressuring me."

"They'll be pressuring you sooner or later."

"We'll talk about it once we urge them."

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

After spending half a day in the backyard, Zhan Yue was about to start preparing dinner, and Zeng Xiaoya followed him back into the house.

The children were having a great time, with their fathers playing with them. Zeng Xiaoya didn't have anything to talk about with the two young masters, and they weren't familiar with each other, so she felt more comfortable with Zhan Yue.

The old lady and the others had already taken their afternoon nap and were discussing something inside the house. When they saw the two people return, they instinctively stopped talking.

"Grandma, what are you talking about?"

Zhan Yue walked over and asked curiously.

The old lady said, "What you're talking about is your seventh brother's wedding banquet. It has nothing to do with you. You should hurry up and get married. We'll arrange everything for you when you get married. You just need to be a happy groom."

"Okay, you guys continue chatting, I'm going to cook."

Zeng Xiaoya said to everyone, "I'll help Zhan Yue with his work."

He followed Zhan Yue into the kitchen.

The old lady smiled broadly and said softly to everyone, "Don't you think the two of them seem a bit closer today?"

Only Haitong agreed with her.

Hai Tong knew how Zhan Yue and Zeng Xiaoya usually got along.

The third wife said, "Mom, we only found out about Eighth Brother and Xiaoya's relationship today. We really don't know how they got along before."

Hai Tong said, "Xiao Ya is a bit dependent on Zhan Yue here, so the two of them seem a little close."

The old lady said, "That's trust in Lao Ba."

Haitong smiled and said, "Grandma is right."

The Empress Dowager is always right.

Are the children playing outside? I'll go out and check.

The old lady got up to go out, and asked her two granddaughters-in-law to accompany her.

Soon after, everyone was sitting in the courtyard, leaving only Zhan Yue and Zeng Xiaoya inside the house.

Although Zeng Xiaoya followed him into the kitchen, she didn't need to help him at all; Zhan Yue could manage on his own.

However, she didn't go out; she just stayed in the kitchen occasionally, helping Zhan Yue pass on the dishes he needed to cook.

Seeing Zhan Yue busy cooking by himself, Zeng Xiaoya secretly filmed him cooking with her phone.

Time flies. The sun sets into the sea, the day is coming to an end, and night is about to fall.

Zhan Yue spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen and finally prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Zeng Xiaoya helped him cook the dishes, one by one, and placed them on the table. All twelve dishes were served, and she took a picture of this sumptuous scene with her phone.

She felt that the dishes Zhan Yue cooked tonight were even more delicious and visually appealing than the ones prepared by Chef Shuai at noon.

Yes, every time he cooked a dish, Zhan Yue would put a couple of pieces of food in a small bowl for her to taste.

So she tasted every single dish.

It's really delicious.

Zhan Yue also said that his cooking skills were not the best, and that his sixth brother was the real chef. He said that his sixth brother's stir-fries were particularly delicious and he could be called a god chef. He also said that his sixth sister-in-law was too picky and could only eat the dishes made by the sixth young master.

Then, the Sixth Young Master won her over through her stomach, and the two got married and became a loving couple.

Zeng Xiaoya said, "Didn't you say that Grandma Zhan picked out your six previous wives in advance and had your brothers pursue them?"

"Grandma had already chosen them, but it wasn't easy for them to win over my sisters-in-law. Sixth Brother really conquered my sixth sister-in-law with his cooking skills and successfully won her heart."

After dinner, and after sitting for a while longer, Zeng Xiaoya said goodbye and went home. She had practically spent the whole day at Zhan Yue's house.

The old lady and her two daughters-in-law insisted on giving Zeng Xiaoya a gift. The old lady's reason was that Zeng Xiaoya had come to chat with her, which took up Zeng Xiaoya's time, so she wanted to give her a gift.

Her two daughters-in-law gave gifts because it was their first meeting and they wanted to give a small token of their appreciation.

Fearing that Zeng Xiaoya might feel guilty about receiving gifts, the gifts from the three women—mother-in-law, mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law—were all quite ordinary, neither too expensive nor too cheap, just right so that Zeng Xiaoya wouldn't feel pressured.

On the way home, Zeng Xiaoya said to Zhan Yue, still feeling embarrassed, "I promised Grandma Zhan a long time ago that I would come here, and I also received gifts from your mother and your aunt. I feel very sorry."

As Zhan Yue drove, he said, "They gave you two sets of skincare products, right? They only gave you one set each, so the two sets together only cost a few thousand yuan. It's not expensive. It's just a gift to mark our meeting, so you don't need to feel guilty."

"If they give you a very expensive gift, like those expensive pieces of jewelry from my mom's jewelry collection, it's understandable that you feel embarrassed and think the gift is too much for you."

"It's just a few thousand yuan worth of skincare products, you really don't need to feel embarrassed. They give these to any girl they haven't met before, and it's not just you they give to them."

If it weren't for the fear of putting Zeng Xiaoya in a bad mood, his mother would have given her a set of expensive jewelry long ago.

Considering that he and Zeng Xiaoya are not yet in a romantic relationship, it is not appropriate to give him a gift that is too expensive. Instead, he gave him a set of skincare products worth several thousand yuan.

"Did my grandma give you a box of bird's nest? You said you wanted to ask her for advice on how to maintain your youth and stay young. So, all the gifts they gave you are for health and beauty."

"That's true. Grandma Zhan gave me beauty and skin care products, while your mom and the others gave me skin care products. They're all for maintenance. Your elders really take good care of themselves."

“My grandma and the others are considered to be good at taking care of themselves, but compared to your grandma and the others, the results of their skincare are still a bit lacking.”

"That's because your family is very busy. My grandma retired a long time ago, and after retiring, she just took care of her grandson. She was in a great mood and had no pressure at all. My parents' generation was the same. After my eldest brother was able to take over, they all retired."

"After retiring, they don't have to worry about anything. They don't even have to worry about their son's marriage. They are happy and carefree every day, which is a way to maintain their health. They also frequently go to beauty salons and use the most expensive brands of skincare products."

"Let me tell you, the two sets of skincare products they gave you together cost less than 10,000 yuan, which is quite ordinary, so you don't need to feel embarrassed. Just don't mind them."

Zeng Xiaoya laughed: "I don't mind. I usually use skincare products from these brands."

With a decent income and not much financial pressure, Zeng Xiaoya wouldn't mistreat herself.

Anyway, her house is now renovated, those stressful days are over, and she can finally relax. Naturally, she'll start using high-quality skincare products.

"Then my mom made the right choice by giving you this skincare set."

Zhan Yue laughed.

"As long as you like it."

Zeng Xiaoya naturally liked it.

Receiving two sets of skincare products at once will save her money on skincare products. With the money saved, she can eat something nice. How wonderful!
