Crazy! The school beauty's mother works as my secretary!

"This noodle is so delicious! It smells so good I'm about to bite my tongue!"

The mother-in-law held the beef noodles made by her son-in-law Chen Mo, slurping them up with relish and praise.

A series of light footsteps came from the stairs.

The young aunt swayed her plump waist as she gracefully descended the stairs, sniffed the air, and peered out with curious eyes:

"What good stuff is this that smells so tempting? It smells amazing!"

Mrs. Lu smiled and gestured with her chopsticks, her eyes full of appreciation and delight.

"It's beef noodles cooked by Chen Mo. It tastes really good. Would you like to try some?"

Upon hearing that it was Chen Mo's cooking, the aunt's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly came over:

"I have to try it! I've heard this kid is a great cook, and I'm so glad I got to try it today!"

Lu's mother picked up a mouthful of noodles covered in broth and fed it to her.

The aunt opened her mouth to catch it, chewed it carefully for a couple of bites, and immediately beamed with joy.

She gave Chen Mo a thumbs up, her voice rising slightly:

"My goodness! This is so delicious! It's fresh but not greasy, and the noodles are chewy. If this chef opened a noodle shop, I guarantee there would be long queues every day, and he'd make a fortune!"

"Don't make fun of him."

Lu's mother waved her hand with a laugh.

"Chen Mo is a man destined for great things; how could he stoop to working in a small noodle shop?"

The aunt nodded quickly in agreement, but her gaze remained fixed on Chen Mo:

"I was just saying it offhand! If I really let him open a noodle shop, wouldn't that be a waste of his talent and a disservice to his abilities?"

Chen Mo, a gentle smile playing on his lips, took the initiative to speak:

"If Auntie likes it, I'll cook you another bowl?"

"Okay, okay! That would be too much trouble for you!"

The aunt couldn't stop smiling. Watching Chen Mo turn and go into the kitchen, she turned to Lu's mother and whispered her complaints.

"Look at Chen Mo, he's so considerate and capable, a hundred times better than my husband! Qingqian is so lucky to have found such a good man!"

As Lu's mother listened, she secretly began to have doubts.

It was obvious that her sister-in-law was attracted by Chen Mo's excellence.

She couldn't stop comparing herself to her husband, and the more she compared, the worse she felt he was.

The scales in their hearts have long been tipped, and the couple will likely argue about these things frequently in the future.

A short while later, Chen Mo came over carrying a steaming bowl of beef noodles.

There was also a soft-boiled egg in the bowl, which was gently placed in front of my aunt:

"Auntie, please eat slowly, be careful it's hot. I'll go upstairs to see if Qingqian is awake."

After saying that, he turned around and quickly went upstairs.

The aunt stared at the fragrant noodles in front of her, then glanced at Chen Mo's retreating figure, her tone tinged with a hint of melancholy:

"This is the first time in my life that a man has ever been so considerate in serving and cooking noodles for me."

After a moment of silence, Lu's mother became even more worried: Could it be that she had really fallen for her son-in-law?

She quickly tried to smooth things over:

"The fourth one is pretty good too. He doesn't smoke or drink, doesn't go out and mess around, and hands over all his salary. He's down-to-earth. You should be content."

"What good is being hardworking? What can you do with that little salary? Compared to Chen Mo, it's not even worth a hair on his head!"

The aunt pursed her lips, picked up her chopsticks but barely touched them, her mind clearly elsewhere.

Lu's mother was speechless for a moment, thinking to herself:

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating; contentment brings happiness.

My aunt's mentality is probably going to cause problems.

Chen Mo may seem gentle and easy to get along with, but in reality, they are from completely different worlds.

But she doesn't seem to have grasped this point at all.

At this moment, Chen Mo had no idea that he had planted a time bomb for Qingqian's uncle's marriage...
