Surprise! The wife of a top star is actually a Nobel Prize winner

Li Xiao turned around and asked, "Chengcheng, why did your brother and sister think of inviting us to dinner? When did they come? Did they come to see you too?"

Li Sheng and Brother Lei also looked at Cen Cheng with curiosity.

Um... can you introduce me...

Cen Cheng, an honest boy who had never told a lie, had to make up a lie when he heard Qian Qing's unexpected question.

"They have been here for a few days. They want to get to know you. They've been taking care of you for a long time, so they said they would cook a big meal as a way of repaying you." Cen Cheng explained with a stiff upper lip, thinking that he must reconcile his lines with Qing Ge and the others when he returns to avoid any mistakes.

Seeing that she seemed to be hiding something, Li Xiao did not ask any further questions. Everyone has privacy, so he changed the subject, "Then let's go tomorrow at noon, okay?" At the same time, he also looked at Li Sheng and Brother Lei to inquire.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the time was set.

Early on Saturday morning, Qian Qing went to the vegetable market with Sister Ruoxin to buy some groceries, while Dadong and Cen Cheng cleaned up the house.

In order to ensure the hygiene of the three houses, they hired a housekeeper to do a thorough cleaning every Monday, so it didn't actually take up too much time. And it was mainly Dadong who did the work. He didn't give Chengcheng any room to do anything. It can be seen that Dadong's sister-con nature was taught to him by Qian Qing himself.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Sister Ruoxin began preparing her feast. As usual, Dadong would go in to help, but lately, for some reason, Qian Qing had also started going into the kitchen more often to observe.

As for Chengcheng, she...she was sent to the study to study her math paper.

Oh, she also has a task, which is to entertain her colleagues when they come.

Afraid that she didn't know how, Sister Ruoxin also simply taught her some procedures for entertaining guests.

At around 11:30, Li Xiao and Li Shenglei, who lived in the same residential complex as Cen Cheng, knocked on Cen Cheng's door.

After hearing this, Cen Cheng gestured to Qian Dong before going to open the door.

Inside the door, Dadong heard them coming in and hid out through the entrance door on Sister Ruoxin's side.

The three of them also brought fresh fruit. As soon as Li Sheng saw Cen Cheng, he started yelling, "Xiao Cheng Cheng, we're not late, are we? I told you to come earlier, but Li Xiao had to rest at our place until this hour before coming over."

Li Xiao walked in, put down the fruit, and replied, "Are you hungry? This is just the right time."

It’s not good to come too early, as it will disturb the host’s preparations.

The three of them began to look around the house.

As he looked at it, Brother Lei was a little puzzled: "Chengcheng, when this apartment building was first put on the market, I looked at the floor plans and there were only small one-bedroom and one-living room apartments. How come your house is so big?"

"This is because the landlord bought two units and then connected them into one."

It is indeed the landlord, Qian Qing the landlord.

Cen Cheng was the one who stayed with Sister Ruoxin after the family meeting. When Qian Qing bought the house next door, she found out that the two houses they had rented before had been bought long ago. However, it did not affect her much. She still had to pay the rent for her house every month.

Tsk, poor workers.

Li Sheng: "That's good."

Li Xiao was secretly wondering, would Chengcheng's salary be enough to pay the monthly rent for such a big house?

It’s a bit sad, this little friend who has no idea about the world.

At this time, Qian Qing and Sister Ruoxin came out from the kitchen, and Cen Cheng quickly introduced them to each other.

"This is my sister, Zhong Ruoxin, and this is my brother, Qian Qing. Brother Qing, Sister Ruoxin, and these are my colleagues, Li Xiao, Li Sheng, and Brother Lei."

After both parties exchanged greetings, Qian Qing said warmly, "Welcome to my home. Feel free to look around or grab something to eat. Lunch won't be ready for a while. Chengcheng, give your colleague the fruit you just washed."

With that, he followed Sister Ruoxin back to the kitchen. Since Dadong was not there, he also became the kitchen assistant. Fortunately, he had secretly observed many times before and knew the basics.

Cen Cheng invited the three of them to sit in the living room, brought out some fruit, went to the refrigerator to get the drinks they had chosen, and turned on the TV.

Li Xiao couldn't help laughing at the way a little adult was treating guests seriously.

I also noticed her nervousness. I guess this was her first time inviting colleagues and friends to her home for dinner.

Sometimes Li Xiao was really curious about what kind of family this girl was raised in.

She's beautiful, generous, and smart, but she's also ignorant of the ways of the world and has no experience in getting along with others. But thinking about her experience in the junior class at National Tsing Hua University, it seems understandable.

In order to ease her nervousness, Li Xiao casually asked, "Brother Qian Qing, is he your cousin?"

"No, he's a distant relative's brother. Sister Ruoxin is also a very close sister. I'm the only child in my family, and now I'm the only one left. So the elders are particularly worried about my work and life here, so they come to see me often."

Cen Chengjiu answered with a mixture of truth and lies, a white lie, hoping they wouldn't mind.

Li Xiao thought, it's not that I'm worried. First, there's the uncle who invited everyone in the department to breakfast, then there's the older brothers and sisters who invited a few of their closest relatives to lunch. Will there be any more aunts and uncles who will invite them to dinner later?

He smiled and shook his head, quickly getting rid of this strange thought.

Originally, Cen Cheng was the most familiar with the three of them in the company. After they started chatting, she gradually relaxed from the nervous expression of a young host who was entertaining guests for the first time.

Li Sheng, who started watching variety shows carelessly, was completely unaware of all these subtle changes.

Brother Lei did notice something, but he cooperated with Li Xiao and chatted with Cen Cheng about daily life.

The preparations were thorough, and after the guests arrived, Sister Ruoxin, with the cooperation of Qian Qing, quickly prepared a large table of dishes.

When there was only one phoenix fish left to cook, Sister Ruoxin asked Qian Qing to go out and set the table for dinner.

"Chencheng, tell your colleagues to wash their hands and have dinner." Qian Qing instructed Cen Cheng while arranging the dishes.

Several people who were chatting happily stood up, washed their hands and moved to the restaurant.

The rectangular dining table for six people was already filled with sumptuous dishes, and each dish looked delicious.

"Wow, Chengcheng, is your sister's cooking skill so good? This is so rich!" Li Sheng, who was used to being startled, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he saw such a large table of dishes.

Li Xiao was also a little surprised, because as a good cook, he could tell at a glance that some of the classic dishes of the Fog City were very authentic.

It seems that sister Cen Cheng is a great cook.

When Sister Ruoxin brought the last dish of Laifeng fish to the table, he became even more certain of this idea.

"Is this the Laifeng fish from Zhuting Pavilion? Even the presentation is the same. Sister Ruoxin, you have great skills!" Li Xiao gave a thumbs-up gesture to Sister Ruoxin who had just finished her work and sat down.

"Xiao Li has good taste. Chengcheng really liked the fish after eating it from Zhutingge. I made it just like that. Can you guys help me taste it and see if it's right?"
