Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 140

“Why are you being so polite?” Wang Qin shook her head and smiled. “As long as you don’t find my cooking worse than the restaurants’ food, that’s enough!”

“Auntie, restaurant food is fine once or twice. If you eat it every day, it’s like living in hell!” Sun Weiqi joked, smacking his lips as if savoring a taste. “To be honest, several times I’ve been tempted to break in by the delicious smell from your house!”

Seeing Wang Qin move to pick up the boxes next to the sofa, Sun Weiqi quickly stood up. “Auntie, these boxes are heavy. Just tell me where to put them, and I’ll move them for you.”

“Thanks, Xiao Sun!” Wang Qin never intended to do it herself. She wanted to see if Sun Weiqi liked Lin Mengting enough to lower himself as a noble son. She was quite satisfied now.

After all, Lin Mengting and Sun Weiqi hadn’t officially started a serious relationship aimed at marriage. Sun Weiqi’s actions were impressive and deserving of full marks! No fear of him becoming arrogant!

“Auntie, you told me not to be so polite, but you’re being polite to me!”

Sun Weiqi didn’t know what Wang Qin was thinking, but her look of satisfaction, like a mother-in-law admiring her son-in-law, calmed his heart.

…

Ha! What does it mean to “sell dog meat under a sheep’s head”? What does it mean to be a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”? What does it mean to be “inconsistent inside and out”? Lin Mengting finally understood!

How could they be chatting so happily already? It left her, one of the “main characters,” confused and unable to react for a long time.

After setting down the boxes, Sun Weiqi rolled up his sleeves and helped Wang Qin wash vegetables, behaving like a host rather than a guest. Even Lin Yian, who had just walked in, was stunned.

“Uncle Lin,” Lin Mengting greeted, waking Lin Yian from his daze. He turned his attention to Lin Mengting, sitting on the sofa looking like an abandoned “sad kitten,” and asked, “Tingting, who is this…?”

Before he could finish, Wang Qin came out smiling. “This is Xiao Sun from next door. He’ll be joining us for meals from now on.”

Lin Yian “…”

Of course, he knew! This young man was the grandson of a leader who had recently moved in, reportedly a top officer who had just completed a tough mission and was now recuperating in S City.

Before he moved in, a leader had subtly hinted to Lin Yian to take good care of him as a neighbor.

Now, this important figure was suddenly in his home, showing respect and humility to Wang Qin and himself!

…

At that moment, Lin Yian noticed Sun Weiqi’s gentle gaze towards Lin Mengting, and he couldn’t help but feel a thrill.

Could it be?

Thinking this, Lin Yian glanced at Lin Mengting, who was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with a cushion like a “frustrated cat.” Pride and satisfaction filled his eyes.

His niece was excellent, deserving of being pursued by someone of high status. Men like Qin Dong, Zheng Gang, and others who professed love but harbored dirty, scheming intentions didn’t deserve to tie her shoes!

Did they think Lin Yian, a seasoned official, couldn’t see through their plans? Hah! A bunch of self-important fools! If it weren’t for his and Wang Qin’s current critical promotion period, he would have long acted on his anger against these ridiculous people!

But, as they say, revenge is a dish best served cold!

…

“Tingting, come here!” Wang Qin called from the kitchen.

Lin Mengting obediently set down the cushion and walked to the kitchen.

“Last time you made cola chicken wings, I only got a taste before  Sis Ying and Brother Jun finished the whole pot!”

“They’re not here today, so I bought the freshest chicken wings just for you to cook. I want to enjoy them thoroughly!”

Before Lin Mengting could reply, Wang Qin pushed her towards the stove and handed her a spatula.

Wang Qin continued praising Sun Weiqi, “I didn’t expect Xiao Sun to be so good at washing vegetables and handling a knife like a chef. The vegetables he cuts could be served in a five-star hotel! In today’s society, boys like Xiao Sun who can cook are rare. If Xiao Sun wasn’t a guest, I’d love to taste his cooking. I’m sure it’s great! But since it’s his first time here, we can’t let him cook. Tingting, don’t you agree?”

As she spoke, Wang Qin pushed Sun Weiqi out of the kitchen. “Xiao Sun, leave the rest to us. Go chat with Old Lin in the living room. The food will be ready soon.”

Lin Mengting “…”

Who knew you were this kind of “Aunt Wang”!

Even though Lin Mengting felt conflicted, she couldn’t outmatch Wang Qin’s authority and wanted to avoid Sun Weiqi’s intense gaze in the living room. So she busied herself in the kitchen.

As for other emotions? She didn’t want to delve into them!

…

Despite living two lives and having rich experiences, Lin Mengting still struggled with love. Though she didn’t want to explore her hidden fears and joys, the attitudes of those around her had already planted these emotions deep within her heart.

They would eventually take root, grow, and flourish.
