Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1490 - 1479: The Cannon Fodder Big Brother of an Old-School Romance Novel

A moment later, Ye Qiu came out with two dishes he had added, wearing an apologetic smile: "Uncle, Auntie, these are simple dishes. I hope you don’t mind. Next time when we formally visit, I’ll prepare a feast for you both."

Smelling the enticing aroma, Mrs. Tan swallowed and asked, "Did you make all of this?"

Tan Nana rushed to answer, "Of course, Ye Qiu’s cooking skills are excellent. You should try it. Remember last time when you said I put on a bit of weight? It’s because he fed me."

"It smells delicious, and it looks appealing too." Mr. Tan had already picked up his chopsticks, feeling genuinely hungry, and the food seemed so appetizing. As soon as he placed a shrimp in his mouth, his eyes widened instantly, "Delicious! Honey, try this shrimp; it’s really good."

"Even the stir-fried vegetables he made are tasty." Tan Nana picked one piece of vegetable for her mother and happily took a bite herself. After that, the entire dining room fell silent, as everyone was too occupied with reaching for more with their chopsticks.

Originally, Ye Qiu had prepared two dishes and a soup; later, he added two more dishes, making a total of four dishes and a soup, which the four of them finished completely. Even Mrs. Tan, who always restrained herself, ate until her belly was full.

They had already known Ye Qiu was an excellent young man, and regarding the matter between Ye Yanting and Gu Wanqin, he wasn’t to blame at all. Seeing that his culinary skills were so good and how sincerely he doted on their daughter, the Tan Family parents had no more reservations by the time they left: "Why don’t you two come home this weekend?"

"Alright!" Tan Nana responded with a face full of excitement.

Ye Qiu also wore a gentle smile: "Okay, I’ll be there on time, Uncle and Auntie, take care on your way home."

"Okay, no need to see us off." Mr. Tan paused and coughed lightly, "Although you two are boyfriend and girlfriend already, you should still restrain yourselves a bit before marriage."

Tan Nana chimed in, "I would like that, but Ye Qiu behaves just like you, afraid that I might take advantage of him."

Mrs. Tan gave her a light knock on the head, "Be a bit more reserved as a girl."

"I know!"

The couple went downstairs to get into the car, discussing as they walked: "You know, Ye Qiu really can cook."

"Yeah, I didn’t expect that. Even compared to Michelin restaurants I’ve been to, his cooking is better."

"No wonder he’s gotten your daughter so devoted."

"Didn’t he make you satisfied too? You’re thinking about how you’ll enjoy good food once he becomes your son-in-law, right?"

"Aren’t you thinking the same?"

The couple shared a knowing smile and sighed in unison: "Ye Qiu really is quite wonderful."

"I think our daughter is getting a lucky deal here. Look at her always lazy and indulgent manner, how Ye Qiu ever fell for her, I don’t know."

"Maybe it’s just fate? Did you notice the dishes on the table today? They were all your daughter’s favorites."

"Indeed, the way he served that bowl of soup for her to cool, clearly something he does regularly."

"Is this what they mean by ’fool’s luck’? I used to worry about her previous infatuation with Ye Yanting, but who would have thought she’d end up with such fortune."

"Anyway, he seems to genuinely care for our daughter. I just wonder, if they do become a family, won’t it be awkward? What will people say!"

"What’s the big deal, like our daughter said, they won’t be living together after marriage. Let them talk, our daughter and son-in-law will be the ones affected, and they’ll only be jealous of her finding such an excellent husband."

"Already calling him son-in-law so soon? Who was the one saying to restrain themselves just a moment ago?"

"Isn’t it because he’s a good kid?" Mr. Tan chuckled bashfully.

On the weekend, Ye Qiu arrived at the Tan Family’s place with Nana, carrying gifts. Since they had already accepted him last time, Mr. and Mrs. Tan were very delighted by his visit.

"Why did you bring so many dishes again?" Mr. Tan had expected it, yet still asked.

"I promised last time to make a delicious meal for Uncle and Auntie."

"Is that necessary?" Mr. Tan said but immediately took the dishes to the kitchen.

Ye Qiu explained while walking, "Of course it’s necessary. Uncle and Auntie entrusting their cherished daughter to me, I must show my sincerity. Nana was raised in the Tan Family, and when she marries me in the future, she shouldn’t be deprived in terms of food at least."

"Not deprived at all. What are you planning to cook today?" Mr. Tan peeked over, "Wow, you bought such a big fish!"

"Yes, I’m planning to make fish head tofu stew, and braise the fish tail. What do Uncle and Auntie like? I also bought lamb, beef, pork belly, and chicken, all common ingredients."

"Lamb is wonderful, cozying up with lamb in the winter is the best." Even as he said it, Mr. Tan’s mouth began to water, as he usually doesn’t have time, and the family’s helper doesn’t cook lamb, so he hasn’t had a chance to enjoy it properly for quite a while.

"Alright, then I’ll stew a pot of lamb. I’ll stir-fry the beef, make soup with the chicken, and do Braised Pork Belly."

"That’s quite a feast. Will it be too much trouble for you?"

"No, I’m used to doing this."

Watching him skillfully handle the ingredients, Mr. Tan knew he meant it and nodded in approval: "Then I’ll go get a good bottle of wine, so the two of us can enjoy a drink today."

"No problem."

In the living room, Mrs. Tan glanced at her daughter: "You’re just sitting there and not helping?"

Tan Nana lay back lazily, "What help would I be? I’d only mess things up."

"You’re consistently lazy, be careful Ye Qiu ends up disliking you."

"He wouldn’t! I do help out at home, okay? I usually clean up after eating."

"Just putting dishes in the dishwasher, right?" Mrs. Tan rolled her eyes at her, "You’re so lazy it’s infuriating, I don’t know how Ye Qiu likes you."

Tan Nana grinned playfully, "Your daughter must have some fortune."

Mrs. Tan smiled indulgently. Who wouldn’t want their daughter to marry a compassionate man and live happily? It seemed her daughter really had hit a stroke of luck.

Although Tan Nana claimed to be lazy, after sitting for a while, she didn’t remain idle. Instead, she washed some fruits and fed Ye Qiu a few pieces, occasionally peeling a clove of garlic.

Mrs. Tan smiled with satisfaction, "Growing up has its perks, these two kids really suit each other well."

Mr. Tan was too busy to respond, sniffing as he constantly exclaimed, "So fragrant, lucky I had the foresight to eat only a little this morning."

Mrs. Tan glared at him: "Behave, don’t embarrass us in front of your future son-in-law."

"You women don’t understand; us men don’t mind these things."

"Acting like old pals, you should be ashamed."

"Ashamed of what? As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son; isn’t that how it is between us?"

"Just be proud of it!"

"Hehe..."
