Ming Yao finished looking around and turned on the tap to wash her hands.

The man wrapped his arms around her from behind, gazing at her bright and beautiful face and whispered, “I’ve asked Aunt Zhong to come over and take care of your daily needs.”

Ming Yao turned around, wrapping her arms around the man’s neck, “No need, no need. I’m quite happy with my usual life on set. Just let Aunt Zhong take care of you at the Imperial Garden.”

Ming Yao hadn’t eaten anything in the evening and was feeling a bit hungry, so she opened the fridge and, sure enough, it was stocked full of fresh ingredients.

“Husband, I’ll cook a few dishes. Why don’t you invite Assistant Lu over for dinner? I’ll also call Zhong Ling over.”

Seeing the small stars twinkling in the woman’s eyes, Gu Siting furrowed his brows slightly, “Are you sure you want to play matchmaker?”

“Isn’t this the perfect opportunity?!”

Gu Siting, feeling helpless, shook his head and called Lu Zhou over.

Ming Yao also made a call to Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling arrived quickly, and when she saw the luxurious and imposing nanny van, she couldn’t help but exclaim “wow” several times in surprise.

“Sister Yao, have you and Fourth Master made up?” Fourth Master is too generous, giving such a big surprise to Sister Yao once you made up.

Ming Yao took out the ingredients from the fridge and winked at Zhong Ling, “We made up, and I have something to tell you.”

While helping with the rice and cooking, Zhong Ling nodded, “Go ahead, Sister Yao!”

“What do you think of Assistant Lu?”

Zhong Ling’s mind pictured Lu Zhou’s handsome and refined appearance, and a smile curled up on her lips, “He’s great—handsome and capable. I want to learn from him too!”

“What if I set you up with him to be your boyfriend?”

The rice cooker that Zhong Ling was holding nearly dropped to the floor.

“Sister Yao, are you serious?” A blush crept onto Zhong Ling’s pretty little face.

Ming Yao glanced at Zhong Ling’s expression, knowing that there might be potential on this end.

“Of course, I’m serious. With a man as outstanding as Assistant Lu, I can’t let other women benefit. I have to introduce him to my reliable little assistant!”

Zhong Ling’s eyelashes fluttered down, and she bit her lip, evidently feeling shy and embarrassed.

“But Assistant Lu, he might not take a fancy to me.”

Her family background was ordinary, and although she wasn’t bad-looking, she wasn’t a stunning beauty either.

With Assistant Lu esteemed by many, could he really take a liking to her?

Originally, if Sister Yao hadn’t mentioned it, she might not have felt anything, but now that she had, her heart began to race, unable to remain calm any longer.

“Don’t worry, my little assistant is also very capable, okay?” Ming Yao winked at Zhong Ling again, “Assistant Lu will also come over for dinner later.”

Zhong Ling’s face turned even redder.

Ming Yao made four dishes, with Zhong Ling helping to make another two.

The nanny van was equipped with a dining table, and the dishes were laid out. Gu Siting brought a bottle of red wine from the Bentley.

“It’s always you who understand me best, hubby.”

The dining table was rectangular. Ming Yao and Zhong Ling sat side by side, while Gu Siting and Lu Zhou sat opposite them.

“Assistant Lu, I made these few dishes, and Xiao Ling made these two. Try them and see how they taste?”

When Lu Zhou saw Ming Yao’s beaming smile, he suddenly remembered the last time he took her and Fourth Master to the airport, and how she mentioned she would introduce him to her little assistant on the way.

A flicker of embarrassment passed through Lu Zhou’s eyes.

But it didn’t show on his face. He picked up his chopsticks and sampled a dish made by Zhong Ling.

“The flavor is good.” He wore a faint smile on his handsome face, polite yet distant.

“If it tastes good, eat more!”

Lu Zhou nodded.

Seeing that Ming Yao’s attention was solely on Zhong Ling and Lu Zhou, Gu Siting’s long legs kicked her under the table.

It was then that Ming Yao lifted her gaze to the man sitting directly opposite her.

Noticing his handsome face was taut, she couldn’t help but chuckle, “Husband, you should eat more too.”

Just as Gu Siting was about to say something, Jih Feng approached, attracted by the aroma.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, there’s good food and you didn’t call me?”

Seeing Jih Feng coming over, Zhong Ling stood up, “Director Jih.”

Zhong Ling was still unaware of the relationship between Jih Feng and Gu Siting. Jih Feng was quite serious when directing, and she was a little afraid of him, worried about being insufficiently polite and causing trouble for Sister Yao later on.

Jih Feng waved his hand, “Sit, sit, sit. With Fourth Master here, I can only be the junior.”

Gu Siting glanced at Jih Feng, who was a bit like a chatterbox when not filming, and he furrowed his brows, “Didn’t you eat already?”

Jih Feng, looking at the delicacies on the table and recalling how Yanxi and Chengjin had recently praised Fourth Sister-in-law’s cooking in the brothers’ group chat, swallowed hard, “Not eating doesn’t mean I can’t drink some wine and have a little dish. That’s still fine.”

Ming Yao stood up, got some tableware for Jih Feng, and poured him wine.

The moonlight was like water, and the sounds of insects and birds could vaguely be heard outside the vehicle.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the brightly lit nanny van was cozy and lively.

After a few drinks, Jih Feng began to recount some incidents between the brothers from the past.

“One year, a few of us brothers went on a trip to a certain country. Guess what happened?”

Under the table, Gu Siting kicked Jih Feng, signaling him to talk less.

Jih Feng arched an eyebrow, “Who kicked me?”

Gu Siting, “…”

Ming Yao cast a glance at Gu Siting, “Husband, why are you kicking Director Jih? Feeling guilty?”

Gu Siting cleared his throat softly, “What do I have to feel guilty about?”

“Haha, Fourth Brother must feel guilty, because it just so happened that the princess of that country was on a parade that day. She sat on a float with a bow, arrows, and flowers. Whoever the flowers hit would be invited to the palace to attend her birthday banquet.”

Jih Feng lifted an eyebrow, “Guess who got hit?”

Ming Yao’s smile hinted at amusement, “Since Fourth Brother kicked you, it shows he’s guilty, so it definitely must be him.”

Jih Feng snapped his fingers, “Right, you got it. It was Fourth Brother. The flowers hit him just right, and we were all invited to the palace. The princess wanted to dance with Fourth Brother, but to everyone’s surprise, he rejected her outright.”

“The princess, in a fit of rage, almost had us thrown into the dungeon. It was only after I stepped forward and sweet-talked the princess into a good mood that she let us go!”

Ming Yao scolded the aloof man across from her with a look, “All day long, you’re just attracting bees and butterflies.”

“Isn’t that so? Each one of us is outstanding on his own, but when we’re all together, Fourth Brother just steals the spotlight! The first one the women notice is also him…ouch, my foot!”

With a look of grievance, Jih Feng glanced at the stern-faced man, “Fourth Brother, are you trying to disable me?”

“I think pulling out your tongue would do. You talk too much nonsense.”

Jih Feng, “…”

Zhong Ling watched Gu Siting, who had Jih Feng completely cowed, with increasing admiration for her Sister Yao.

Everyone was afraid of Fourth Master, but Fourth Master, he feared only Sister Yao.

The group continued drinking and chatting until late into the night.

Jih Feng still had much to say, but Gu Siting’s expression was so ominous, it was as if he was about to kick him out of the van, and that made him stagger off the nanny van.

Zhong Ling had also had a few drinks, and her delicate, adorable face was flushed red.

Ming Yao leaned against the car window, looking at Lu Zhou, who was still relatively sober, “Assistant Lu, could you please take Xiao Ling back to her room?”
