In order to prepare for a small painting exhibition these days, Zhuang Mingyue tried her best. She took advantage of the fact that Zhan Yan and Xiao Xingxing were not at home and prepared to paint under the pretext of taking care of the cat at home.

There are three awards in this painting exhibition. Zhuang Mingyue wanted to win a prize for Zhan Yan by herself, which would be a surprise anyway. But he was trying to find a way to get herself out!

Now that she was out, Zhuang Mingyue decided not to be polite.

Feeling sick of the food, Zhuang Mingyue was about to reach out for the coffee. Just when he was about to reach it, Zhan Yan moved the coffee cup back in front of him. The teasing look in his eyes made Zhuang Mingyue very angry.

Zhuang Mingyue stood up and wanted to leave, but Zhan Yan brought the coffee over. In a hurry to get rid of the greasiness of the cake, Zhuang Mingyue drank the coffee leisurely.

The hot coffee she ordered had a turbid bitter taste due to over-extraction due to being left out for too long, but this bitterness was just the right amount to relieve the sweetness of the dessert.

Zhuang Mingyue looked up contentedly, pretending to relax. Zhan Yan took advantage of her inattention and sat over to ask, "Do you want to have dinner together?"

At this moment, Zhuang Mingyue had already realized that Zhan Yan had come over to sit down, so she simply said, "I'm busy."

I was thinking of staying here and waiting for Mrs. Fan to come over and have dinner with her instead of going with Zhan Yan!

Knowing that Zhuang Mingyue was angry, Zhan Yan magically took out a jade bracelet and put it on her hand.

Suddenly I opened my eyes and felt a coolness on my hand. I looked closely and saw that it was a jade bracelet. I was quite surprised. Zhan Yan is really good at coaxing women!

Giving Zhan Yan a strange look, Zhuang Mingyue admired the bracelet with great interest. She looked at it in a place with good light, and then polished it with her hands in a dark place.

The texture of this jade bracelet is crystal clear, and it feels smooth and cool when worn on the hand.

"Can't you have dinner with me now?" Zhan Yan held Mingyue's hand and said sincerely, "Would you like to give me a chance?"

Zhuang Mingyue didn't wait for Mrs. Fan to come, but fortunately she received her call.

"Mingyue, my son and daughter-in-law had something urgent to do, so they left their grandson at our house. I wanted to come find you after shopping, but now I'm really sorry."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Mingyue looked at Zhan Yan with a complicated expression. She trusted Mrs. Fan, but Zhan Yan didn't seem to be honest at all.

Finally, Zhuang Mingyue agreed to have dinner with Zhan Yan - not because of anything else, but because she had already gone out and had no mood to paint.

Zhan Yan felt that he had succeeded, and looked at Zhuang Mingyue with a smile all the way.

Zhuang Mingyue sneered unconvincedly, "You are so happy. If Mrs. Fan hadn't been busy, I wouldn't have eaten with you."

Zhan Yan put his arm around Zhuang Mingyue's shoulders and said, "This is not just a simple meal, this is a date."

"When did you become so frivolous?" Zhuang Mingyue found that Zhan Yan was becoming more and more eloquent recently. His mouth was as if it was blessed. She didn't know where he learned it.

Since she felt that Mingyue was too busy recently and didn't want to pay attention to her, Zhan Yan specifically asked her assistant how to coax a girl. This is why she behaved like this today. In fact, she was not very used to it.

Under Zhuang Mingyue's gaze, Zhan Yan could only say lightly, "I don't know either."

This nonsensical answer made Zhuang Mingyue even more helpless. She just thought about eating something delicious and ignored Zhan Yan.

When they arrived at the dining place, Zhuang Mingyue realized that Zhan Yan had brought her to a barbecue restaurant. Normally, Zhan Yan prefers Western food when dining out, so why did he change the style today?

Zhuang Mingyue felt that this was definitely not Zhan Yan’s idea, “You’re a little weird.”

He also tried his best not to let Zhuang Mingyue see his misbehavior, and Zhan Yan said calmly, "There's nothing strange about it."

When they arrived at the door of the barbecue restaurant, Zhuang Mingyue noticed that the man's brows were furrowed and he looked dissatisfied. Now she was even more certain that this place was not chosen by Zhan Yan, and he didn't need to be so hard on himself.

"We can eat Western food." Zhuang Mingyue took the initiative to hold the man's arm.

This proposal was immediately rejected, "No, let's eat this today."

When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Zhan Yan behaved much more normally. The waiter prepared the dishes and the baking tray, and Zhan Yan began to use the tongs to pick up the dishes and put them on the baking tray.

After answering a phone call, Zhuang Mingyue turned around and saw that the barbecue on the baking tray was burnt. It seemed that Zhan Yan didn't know how to barbecue meat.

Zhuang Mingyue naturally took the barbecue tongs from Zhan Yan's hand and said, "I'll do it."

Barbecue is not difficult, it’s just that this kind of thing is not suitable for people at the president level like Zhan Yan.

Zhan Yan remembered that he had asked his subordinates how to grill meat yesterday. He remembered it well, but he was confused when he actually started grilling the meat. It seemed that he should not try cooking easily.

After grilling several slices of spicy beef, Zhuang Mingyue first placed the meat in the dipping sauce in front of Zhan Yan, stirred it twice, and placed it on the dish, "Try it."

Zhuang Mingyue went on to grill other meat while saying that. Zhan Yan took a bite and found it very salty, but he had to say that the meat was grilled really well.

"Is it okay?" Zhuang Mingyue continued to pick up the roasted meat and vegetables and put them on the plate in front of Zhan Yan.

"It's delicious." Zhan Yan urged Mingyue when he saw that she hadn't even started eating yet, "You eat too."

Zhan Jian had originally planned to prepare the barbecue, but now it was done by Zhuang Mingyue. Fortunately, they both enjoyed the barbecue very much.

On the way back, Zhuang Mingyue was still asking, "Actually, you don't like barbecue, right?"

"It's not that I hate it." Zhan Yan found it easy to accept with Mingyue helping him with the barbecue.

Zhuang Mingyue was still touched. How much could a person love someone to pamper her like this?

Zhuang Mingyue leaned on Zhan Yan's side all the way, and Zhan Yan couldn't help but move closer to her just by looking at her face filled with happiness.

"Hey you..." Before Zhuang Mingyue noticed, a chill appeared on her cheek.

These days Zhan Yan thought he had done something wrong and that was why Mingyue ignored him, but now it seems he was overthinking it.

Zhuang Mingyue discovered that Zhan Yan was completely two different people in front of her and in front of outsiders. This huge contrast made it seem like Potian’s favor was tailor-made for her.

After returning to Nanyuan Villa, Zhuang Mingyue was still in a daze, wondering if her life was too perfect.

Little Star won first place in the math competition and had already prepared a surprise for the two of them at home.

"Ding ding ding ding!" Little Star suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, holding a medal in his hand.

Zhuang Mingyue saw the words on the medal clearly and was very proud of Xiao Xingxing, "Baby, you are awesome!"

Little Xingxing specifically asked the chef at home to cook later, thinking that his dear parents would definitely remember to have dinner with him!

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Mingyue became a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, baby, your father and I have already eaten outside..."
