CHAPTER 79: CHAPTER 79: STILL CRAVING LUOSIFEN

"Sis, I’m heading home first!" Wei Qing shouted loudly.

Everyone looked at Wei Qing.

He Xiulan’s face was a bit embarrassed.

Wei Lai looked at Wei Qing impatiently: "Wei Qing, are you crazy? If you want to leave, just go. Why are you shouting?"

Wei Qing’s eyes immediately turned red: "Wei Lai, you’re my brother!"

Wei Lai: "So what if I’m your brother? You have no manners; what, should I still pamper you? I’ll ask Mom and Dad at home if they want to pamper you."

Wei Qing looked at Wei Lai angrily.

Wei Jin said, "Alright, stop arguing. Sit down, Wei Qing. Don’t forget the previous lesson."

Only then did Wei Qing reluctantly sit down.

He Xiulan held Sang Yu’s hand, her eyes showing a hint of apology.

Sang Yu shook her head, indicating it was nothing.

He Xiulan brought the egg tarts to the living room and set them on the table.

Wei Lai couldn’t help but swallow: "May I eat?"

He Xiulan laughed: "Of course, go ahead."

Wei Lai: "Then I won’t hold back."

Wei Lai grabbed an egg tart and put it in his mouth, "Mm, delicious, so delicious! Sister-in-law, your egg tarts are really good."

Sang Yu laughed: "Eat more if you like, I’ll make more next time."

He Xiulan: "It’s tiring to make this, don’t tire yourself out."

Sang Yu: "It’s not tiring, it’s quite simple. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

"Yes, yes, yes, I want to learn." Wei Lai said eagerly.

Wei Jin laughed, "You better not. Remember the time the kitchen caught fire when you were a kid?"

Wei Lai instantly wilted: "Alright."

Wei Qing scoffed: "What’s the big deal? It’s just similar to egg cakes, they’re everywhere on the street."

Wei Lai: "Then don’t eat."

Wei Qing: "I won’t eat, so what."

He Xiulan felt overwhelmed: "Alright, enough quarreling, Wei Lai, Qing is your sister. Speak a little more kindly."

Wei Lai: "She was rude first."

Wei Lai wasn’t much older than Wei Qing, so he didn’t indulge her much. If he saw Wei Qing misbehave, he wouldn’t put up with it.

"By the way, Auntie, where’s Xiao Lan? I don’t see her."

He Xiulan said, "Xiao Lan is upstairs doing homework, almost forgot."

"I’ll call her down, you all can start eating." With that, He Xiulan went upstairs.

Wei Jin looked at Sang Yu: "How come you have time to visit today?"

Sang Yu: "I’ve got nothing going on at home anyway, and I have something I need to discuss with you."

Wei Jin grew a bit curious.

"What is it?"

"I designed a cheongsam and wanted to show it to you. If you like it, we can have a tailor make it; if not, just ignore me."

Wei Jin was pleasantly surprised: "You can design cheongsams?"

Wei Qing said disdainfully: "Isn’t it just random doodling? Random doodles and you call it design."

"Wei Qing, nobody will think you’re mute if you don’t speak." Wei Lai rolled his eyes.

Wei Qing grumbled unhappily.

Wei Jin shook his head helplessly: "Don’t mind them, show it to me quickly."

Sang Yu took out a design sketch from her bag.

Wei Jin loved cheongsams; she felt they had a unique charm.

When she saw Sang Yu’s cheongsam design, her eyes lit up: "Did you design this?"

Wei Qing couldn’t help but glance in Wei Jin’s direction.

"Yes, I know you like cheongsams, so I designed one for you. I made some alterations; what do you think?"

To be honest, Sang Yu was a little nervous because this might decide whether her plans can proceed.

If Wei Jin’s reaction was lukewarm, it would mean she may not be suited for this path.

"It’s beautiful, so beautiful. I really like it." The genuine smile and liking in Wei Jin’s eyes weren’t fake.

"Let me see, let me see." Unable to resist, Wei Lai moved closer to take a look.

Seeing the cheongsam on the sketch, he also couldn’t help but exclaim: "Gorgeous! Sister-in-law, you’re amazing, cooking so well and drawing so beautifully. This cheongsam really suits big sis."

Wei Jin also laughed: "I agree."

Wei Qing grew increasingly curious, but Wei Lai’s presence completely blocked her view of the sketch.

Wei Qing couldn’t help but crane her neck to see.

Turning his head, Wei Lai saw Wei Qing stretching her neck like a turtle.

He said, "If you want to see, come look. Your neck’s almost as long as a turtle’s."

Wei Qing stubbornly said: "I’m not trying to look."

Wei Lai: "Then who is it that keeps stretching their neck? Don’t tell me you’re exercising."

"Exactly, what? Is that not allowed?" Wei Qing retorted hard-headedly.

Wei Lai rolled his eyes: "I won’t talk to someone like you who’s just stubborn."

Wei Lai returned to his seat, and Wei Qing took advantage of the opportunity to see the sketch Wei Jin was holding.

She couldn’t help but be amazed; it indeed looked great and perfectly matched Wei Jin’s aura.

But Wei Qing would never admit it because Sang Yu had taken someone she liked.

"Hello, sister-in-law." At this moment, He Xiulan brought Jiang Lan down from upstairs.

Sang Yu saw Jiang Lan and greeted warmly, "Xiao Lan, long time no see."

He Xiulan said, "Your sister-in-law made these egg tarts, try them and see if they’re good."

Xiao Lan, being shy, took an egg tart and started eating. After the first bite, her eyes lit up.

"Delicious, sister-in-law, your egg tarts are really good."

"Glad you like them, I’ll make more for you next time."

"Sister-in-law, I want some too." Wei Lai raised his hand.

"Okay, okay, I’ll make them for all of you."

Wei Lai was happy.

"Mom, look." Wei Jin showed the design sketch to He Xiulan.

Seeing it, He Xiulan’s eyes lit up with surprise: "What’s this? It’s drawn so beautifully. Looks like a cheongsam?"

"Yes, it’s a cheongsam. Xiao Yu designed it especially for me." Wei Jin’s tone carried a hint of pride.

He Xiulan praised: "Really beautiful, Xiao Yu, you’re amazing."

Sang Yu felt a bit embarrassed by the compliments: "No, I was just trying it out. It’s my first time designing clothes, too."

"Fantastic, to design something like this on your first try! Perfect timing, I’ll have my old friend make it tomorrow, then wear it to your and Jingming’s wedding."

"Didn’t you and Brother Jiang have a wedding?" Wei Qing was stunned to hear He Xiulan’s words and looked toward Sang Yu.

Wei Jin explained: "We already did, but Jingming thought it wasn’t formal enough, so he’s preparing another one."

Wei Qing’s expression turned to disappointment: "Alright."

Wei Jin and Sang Yu shared a glance.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Yu, how is Jingming’s preparation going?"

Sang Yu shook her head: "I don’t know either, he hasn’t told me."

He Xiulan: "This kid, really, not letting us help. I wonder how he’s handling it."

Wei Lai: "It shows Brother Jingming cherishes sister-in-law, taking care of everything personally."

Blushing slightly at Wei Lai’s words, Sang Yu’s face reddened.

He Xiulan laughed: "Indeed, it shows Jingming’s attention to you."

The whole afternoon was pleasant for everyone except Wei Qing.

Only when Jiang Jingming came to pick her up did Sang Yu leave.

[Hahaha, no snail noodles. Giving such a title won’t make anyone want to hit me, right? I’m really craving, hungry while typing in the middle of the night.]
