Chapter 929: Chapter 392: What If the Ingredients Run Out? Just Borrow Dundun’s Fish! Taking the Kid to Climb the Mountain!

"Time to eat!"

As everyone gathered around the dining table, Dundun sneaked down the stairs.

Shen Baobao quickly grabbed the freshly roasted silverfish to bond with her pet:

"Here, darling, these are grilled just for you by mommy. If you like them, mommy will make them for you every day, okay?"

Dundun eyed the fish suspiciously.

From its experience with mommy, it knew she wasn’t great at making such dried fish.

But being a harmony-promoting little cat, Dundun hesitated for a moment but still rubbed its head against Shen Baobao’s palm.

"Such an obedient darling!"

Dundun lowered its head, licked the tiny fish, and tasted it. Its eyes, originally squinted, widened in surprise. It then grabbed a piece and started eating rapidly.

While Dundun ate at its small table, Lin Xu and the others started their meal too.

They opened beers and filled their glasses.

Shen Baobao and Chen Yan, who was driving, opted for kvass instead.

Everyone took a sip before digging in with their chopsticks.

The spicy and chewy cold tofu, the deliciously spicy fake meat, the tangy appetizers, and the bubbling roasted fish in the pot were all very tasty.

Chen Yan tasted the fish and said to Lin Xu:

"Brother-in-law, keep more ingredients at home. There’s hardly anything to eat here. Adding tofu skins or gluten to this roasted fish would be great."

Chen Yuanyuan and Zeng Xiaoqi nodded in agreement:

"Exactly, adding fried soybeans would also be tasty."

"Lotus root slices work too. I highly recommend putting some in the roasted fish for an amazing texture and flavor."

Shen Baobao glanced at them:

"Aren’t you afraid of gaining weight by eating so much? I saw Shu Yun secretly forwarding articles about the harm of eating at night."

The diners couldn’t help but indulge a little.

Those who couldn’t eat only secretly shared health science articles as a counterattack.

"Aren’t you eating too? Aren’t you worried?"

"We’re taking Dundun hiking tomorrow to enjoy the early winter scenery."

Chen Yan initially wanted to join the hike, but decided she couldn’t wake up early and held back.

Lin Xu picked up some fish belly meat, tasted it, and savored the spicy flavor. After finishing, he took a sip of beer and felt utterly refreshed.

This is the joy of indulgence!

However comfortable they felt while eating, the hike the next morning would be equally tough.

Last weekend, the in-laws hiked early in the morning, felt great, so tomorrow, Lin Xu and Shen Baobao planned to take Dundun hiking, experiencing the exhilaration of reaching the mountain top early to greet the sun.

Dundun’s appetite wasn’t big. After eating two dried fish, it sat aside, licking its paws, washing its face.

Lin Xu said to Dundun:

"We’ll hike tomorrow morning; it might be cold. Find something to wear."

Dundun’s eyes shifted before it headed upstairs. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Zeng Xiaoqi’s eyes widened:

"Is it really looking for clothes?"

"It’s finding clothes; we bought a bunch of sweaters, and it likes them all."

Shen Baobao added:

"Except for the pink one. When we tried the pink sweater, I laughed at it, and it never touched that pink one again, not even letting me put it with its other sweaters."

"Oh, it has quite the attitude."

In the midst of eating and drinking, Ren Jie’s phone rang.

"Are you asleep?"

"No, I’m at my relatives’ eating roasted fish and drinking wine."

"Stop drinking. Report to the team before 11 PM, hand over all communication devices, then wait in the main conference room."

"Yes!"

After hanging up, Ren Jie apologized to Chen Yan:

"Sorry, Yan, can’t be with you again this time."

Chen Yan pouted:

"Alright then... I’ll drive you there."

Ren Jie waved his hand:

"No need; I’ll just catch a cab. You all keep eating."

While talking, Dundun suddenly ran downstairs again. Ren Jie crouched down and embraced it:

"Dundun, Uncle’s leaving. He said he’d introduce you to some pals, but hasn’t had time. Once it’s less hectic, I’ll introduce our team’s Little Black and Little Tiger to you. They’re very friendly."

Dundun’s eyes shifted and gently patted Ren Jie’s wound before jumping down to continue choosing its sweater.

Ren Jie touched his left arm, smiled and said:

"This little fellow always has odd behaviors. Last time, it even patted my forehead... You all eat; I’ll head back to the police team."

Chen Yan accompanied him to the door. While waiting for the elevator, she pulled Ren Jie in for a deep kiss:

"Remember to keep safe once the task is over."

She then stood on tiptoe and whispered in Ren Jie’s ear:

"I ordered some sexy lingerie, the kind with minimal fabric. When you come back, I’ll wear it for you."

Ren Jie: "!!!!!!!!!"

He gulped:

"Should I... take time off?"

Chen Yan was merely teasing her nominal nephew; hearing this, she blushed:

"Get lost, mom said if you touch me before marriage, she’ll break your legs."

Ren Jie held her tight and gave her a peck:

"Wait for me, dear Chef Chen~"

Chen Yan felt warmth in her heart.

Pesky nephew, always teasing Auntie, just wait till you come back, I’ll deal with you!

Ren Jie took the elevator down, while Chen Yan returned inside, hurried up the stairs, grabbed Dundun who was choosing clothes:

"Dundun, Aunt apologizes; I won’t scare you again. You have to bless Uncle’s safe return, please."

After everyone claimed Dundun was effective.

"Meow~~"

Dundun softly meowed, before jumping down and selecting a light gray sweater with a shirt collar laying it aside.

Evidently, this was the outfit for tomorrow morning.

Chen Yan went downstairs, Shen Baobao looked at her and asked:

"Yan Bao, why not stay over, join us tomorrow morning for hiking with Dundun?"

"Alright, since Ren Jie handed in his phone, I can’t reach him, lying in bed would just make me overthink... Since I’m not driving, brother-in-law, switch to beer, no more kiddy drinks."

"Tch, I wasn’t planning on sharing with you anyway."

Lin Xu filled the beer for his sister-in-law, said to Zeng Xiaoqi and Yuanyuan:

"You two shouldn’t leave either, drinking and cabbing isn’t safe at night. I can’t drive you; experience the woes of living in a big house."

"Little brother, are you being all fancy here? Woes of a big house... "

Chen Yuanyuan thought her cousin was being fancy, but once she stayed at the guest room upstairs, she understood the downside of a big house, with similar guest rooms and similar doors, she accidentally walked into Zeng Xiaoqi’s room several times.

Having just showered, Director Zeng lifted her robe, flaunting her pretty legs:

"Yuanyuan, if you like me, just say so, don’t play this ’accidentally entering someone’s room’ game."

Sister Yuanyuan glanced at Zeng Xiaoqi’s figure, face full of regret:

"Tsk, such a pity..."

Without saying anything, Zeng Xiaoqi felt quite provoked:

"I won’t deal with you Chens ever again!"

Early next morning, besides Chen Yuanyuan heading to work, Lin Xu drove Shen Baobao, Zeng Xiaoqi, Chen Yan, and Dundun toward West Mountain for a hike with the kid!

Just exiting the fifth ring road.

Lin Xu suddenly heard the system prompt in his mind:

"Master takes their pet for outdoor play; every hour spent can be exchanged for rewards. These rewards can accumulate for higher-level rewards, valid for one day only, please seize the opportunity!"

What?

This kind of good fortune?

We won’t return today then!
