Chapter 827 Arrived at the Right Time
"Okay, I will definitely do what I promised you, so you can rest assured about that."
"That's fine. Well, we've been talking for such a long time, let's stop talking. It's getting dark now, Mu Bai and the others must be hungry. Let's quickly cook for them."
The housekeeper had just been listening to their conversation in the kitchen without saying anything. Now that everyone was worried about dinner, he kindly tried to comfort them: "Xiao Cheng and his friends haven't come home yet. You can take your time. If you prepare too quickly, it will be bad if the food gets cold before everyone arrives."
"We haven't even got home yet? What's going on with Brother Chuan and Brother Qi? I thought they were all waiting for us in the restaurant."
"I just went to the living room and took a look. It seems that Xiao Cheng got off work a little late, so he was delayed. Now that they haven't come back yet, doesn't it give you time to prepare dinner?"
"Yeah, but we shouldn't chat anymore now. It's been so long, Brother Qi and Brother Chuan will probably be arriving at Jiang's house soon. Let's not dawdle any longer. If they get home and we haven't prepared the food yet, I won't be able to keep them waiting."
"I'm also embarrassed. Our kitchen has been preparing the ingredients since the afternoon. Anyone who heard that the dishes are still not ready after an entire afternoon would think it's outrageous, right?"
"That's right, let's hurry up and prepare now. It would be best if everyone can have something hot to eat."
"Okay, then if that's the case, don't waste time and hurry up. I'll go to the front to help you watch so I can tell you when to serve the food."
"That would be the best."
About half an hour later, Cheng Yunchuan and Shen Siqi hurried to the Jiang family.
The dishes were basically ready in the kitchen. After Cheng Yunchuan parked the car with Shen Siqi, they immediately got out of the car and went to the villa. Halfway through, Shen Siqi remembered that there were snacks for them in the back seat of the car, so he had to go back to get them.
"Luckily, I still remembered it, otherwise I would have taken it back home intact. Let's go quickly. I feel embarrassed to have kept them waiting for so long."
"Let's go!"
After Cheng Yunchuan brought Shen Siqi in, he first introduced him to Jiang An. After they sat down, he apologized to everyone.
"I had a document that I hadn't finished reading when I got off work today, so I was delayed for some time. I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"Why are you being so polite? We are all family, and everyone here is your and Mu Bai's friend. We certainly won't blame you. Besides, the food has just been prepared in the kitchen. Xiao Cheng and Xiao Shen came at the perfect time."
"Is that so? Then we really came at the right time."
"Brother Qi, what are you holding in your hand? Why did you come to my house to cook and bring a gift?"
"It's not a gift dessert. I bought it especially for you girls. Didn't the afternoon tea at Yunchuan Company go viral? Manman and Wu You were curious about the taste of the afternoon tea made by that store. Today, there happened to be some desserts left in the store, so I bought a few and brought them back for you to taste. Mubai, you probably can't eat outside food at home, so let's try it together after everyone finishes their meal."
"Sure, Brother Qi is really thoughtful. When I saw the trending searches before, I was also curious about which shop was having afternoon tea. I was planning to go there and check in when I had time. I didn't expect Brother Qi to help me with this so quickly. I have to try it after dinner."
"That's fine. As long as you have room for food, you can have as much of this dessert as you want. If it's not enough, I'll bring you more next time."
"Okay, then I'd like to thank Brother Qi for the dessert you brought us."
"You're welcome. I feel a little embarrassed to bring these things when I come to your house for the first time. I hope you don't mind."
"How could we despise you if you don't? Brother Qi, it's enough that you have this heart. Besides, I don't lack anything in the Jiang family. Bringing these little things here can satisfy my cravings. This is much more creative than preparing any gifts."
"As long as you like it, then I will feel relieved."
"Okay, now that everyone is here and the food is ready, let's go to the dining room and sit down to talk while we eat. Xiang Di and I spent a long time in the wine room today before we picked out a bottle of wine to open and drink. Let's each have a taste when the time comes."
"Of course, this is my father's treasured wine. Don't be embarrassed when the time comes. It's rare for him to be willing to share his things with you."
"Okay."
"Mu Bai, why do you say that about your father? I didn't bring out the wine before because you were pregnant and couldn't drink. It wouldn't make sense for me to drink alone, so I didn't bring it out. Now that you want to drink, you can drink whatever you want from the wine storage room. Dad didn't lock the door anyway."
"I'd better forget it. I can't drink much to begin with. Now I think about it. I still need to breastfeed from time to time. I won't join in the fun if I'm not good at drinking. Dad, you're talking like I'm an alcoholic."
"Okay, since Mu Bai doesn't want to drink it, then you guys should drink more. This is something I treasure and I usually don't even want to drink it. You guys should cherish this opportunity."
"Okay, since we are all gathered together today, we should celebrate it properly."
Wu You also learned from the housekeeper that Cheng Yunchuan and Shen Siqi had come to the Jiang family. After saying goodbye to the aunt in the kitchen, she came to the living room. When she saw everyone still sitting on the sofa, she couldn't help but become curious.
"Why are you all still sitting here? The food is ready and on the table. Aren't you hungry at this late hour?"
"You finally came out. I thought you were going to stay in the kitchen. Come on, Wu You, this is my dad. Come meet me."
"I know him. We met before in the mountains. Sister Mu Bai, you must have forgotten about him. Hello, Uncle Jiang."
"So you are Wu You! Hello. I'm sorry to ask you to stay in the kitchen on your first visit to my home."
"Please don't say that, uncle. I was interested in those things myself, so I asked Sister Mu Bai to take me to the kitchen to learn. I learned a lot from chatting with the aunts in the kitchen. The aunts in the kitchen are very nice."
"I'm glad you're happy. Let's go to the restaurant and sit down and talk. Otherwise, the food will get cold."
"Yeah, let's go."
Several people sat down at their seats. After seeing that everyone was seated, the butler came over to serve them and pour wine for them.
"The wine is almost done now. Now is the best time to drink it. How about I pour some for everyone, Mr. Jiang?"
"Okay, don't pour it for Mu Bai if she can't drink it yet. Just pour it for each of us."
"Okay, I see."
The butler took the red wine and walked around Jiang Mubai to pour it for everyone. He himself couldn't drink, but everyone else could. Jiang Mubai felt a little envious when he saw this.
Cheng Yunchuan was sitting next to Jiang Mubai. Jiang Mubai became restless after seeing that the butler had poured wine into his glass.
She reached out to take the wine glass to smell what it tasted like, but Cheng Yunchuan stopped her, thinking that Jiang Mubai wanted to drink.
"Mu Bai, you can't drink now. Didn't you say that just now?"
