While the elders were busy helping the children get change, the woman headed to the kitchen to prepare their food.
"Need help?"
She turned around and saw the man walking in the kitchen, "Chairman Yun, no need... I can do it all."
Yun Shen was not persuaded by the girl's words, as he took off his jacket and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and the wrist as he rolled it up.
"Come, tell me what to do?"
Seeing the man was determined to help her, she has no choice but to cooperate with him so that they can feed the children as soon as possible.
She instructed the man to wash the vegetables and slice them. Whilst she went and clean the fish.
It amazed the man to see the girl was talented as well in cleaning the fish, he thought she'll be too scared to do it. Since some women are too afraid to hold a fish...
"Chairman Yun, can you slice the fish for me like this? I'll be back, I just need to check on the chicken..."
The woman headed out of the kitchen and check on the chicken soup the farmer has prepared. She checks the taste and texture of the chicken before seasoning it.
She added the broccoli, carrots, potatoes, celery and some herbs into the pot and closed it.
"Grandpa, once the vegetables are cooked, can you please bring it out?"
"Of course..."
...
Back in the kitchen, Yun Shen started cooking some of the food. He noticed that he already has quite an audience watching him by the door.
"Madam, your son, and daughter are amazing. Look, they've already cooked so much food for us. I feel so bad letting them do all the work."
"Such a lovely couple... Little Yan you must be happy to see your mommy and daddy working together. Why don't you ask them for a little brother or sister?"
When Yun Shen heard what they were talking about, his face turned red as he recalled what he did to the woman last night. He soon cleared his mind as he felt something tight down his pants.
Elizabeth noticed the man was completely red when she returned and asked, "Is everything alright?"
Yun Shen didn't know where to put his eyes, since the girl removed her polo shirt, and was only wearing her spaghetti top. He notices the sweat rolling down the woman nape as she tied her hair into a bun. He suddenly felt a strange urge towards the woman as his body was about to erupt.
'Ah, I need to calm down... It's not the right time...'
...
As they brought out the food outside, everyone was waiting under the cottage.
Some of them even brought some food which they shared with everyone.
In the end, a simple family trip became a group gathering instead.
Once they all tasted the food that the couple prepared everyone was impressed with its unique taste. Due to the ingredient also being fresh it tasted very good.
"Miss Li Zi, your cooking is amazing. I can see now why Little Yan looks so healthy, she must enjoy eating such delicious food all the time."
"You must have taken cooking classes to be able to cook such amazing food."
"Little Yan your mommy sure cooks very well."
When the little girl heard the little boy just refer to her Auntie Li Zi as Little Yan's mommy she smiled and nodded her head.
However, the woman almost choked on the food she was eating after hearing the little boy's ridiculous remarks.
'Me, Little Yan's mommy... That... Impossible... What am I think, I don't even have any feelings for Chairman Yun. I don't... don't I?'
Whilst they were eating, the woman was in deep thought of her situation. She looked at the man beside her who seems to be expressing such warmth for her. Her heart started to ache as she became confused about everything...
...
Soon after they were all done eating, they all took a quick break before heading home.
When the children were told it was time to go home. Some of the children were hesitant to leave and soon started crying.
To ease the children down the woman gave the elders, her phone number telling them to contact her if they are planning to visit the city, for she'll be happy to spend time with their children.
"Alright, all of you be a good boy and good girls okay. Do well in your studies and I hope to see you all again..."
...
Inside the car, Elizabeth and Little Yan seated alone at the back since they continued to play around with each other. It pleased, Madam Yun watching her granddaughter so full of life and smiling so brightly at the same time interacting with other people.
Moments later they notice that the back suddenly became quiet...
As the woman turned around to check on them, she saw the most beautiful image in the world. Her beloved granddaughter was fast asleep with a smile on her face as she slept in the woman's embrace. The woman too was fast asleep and holding the little girl tightly in her arms.
Madam Yun then called her son's attention to check. "Shen look..."
The man quickly glimpses in the rearview mirror to check on what his mother wanted him to see. When he saw what she was referring he smiled and said, "I know, it's beautiful..."
It was already sunset when they arrived at Country Town.
Since the little girl was still fast asleep, Elizabeth carried her to her room and coax her back to sleep.
Afterward, she grabbed her stuff and bid farewell to everyone especially Madam Yun.
"Madam Yun, thank you for inviting me. I really had a great time... If you are free, I hope I can treat you to lunch or dinner."
"Li Zi, I'll be happy can you give me your number?"
"Sure..."
After the two of them exchange numbers, she headed out of the house and was escorted by the old butler.
"Aren't you going to send her off..." Madam Yun asked, seeing his son just standing by the door.
"No need, I'll see her soon..."
...
Imperial Garden Plaza
When Elizabeth came home, she saw two furious lions standing outside the house.
"Oh boy… I'm so dead… Maybe, I should stay in a hotel for now."
"Elizabeth Zhao-Knightley where have you been?"
It was the first time in a long time the old man has called her by her full name. It could only mean he must really be upset with her.
Elizabeth got down the car and handed the food she packed, "Grandpa, Uncle, I made you some food… Come, let's go inside and eat."
The two general weren't moved by the girl's charm but deep inside they wish to embrace and wrap their arms around her already.
'Uh… I really did it this time. I wonder what I need to do to make them happy again… Darn it, if only mom was here, she'll be able to scroll them.'
