Tong Ang gritted his teeth. Was this man really prepared to help him, or was he just using him as a scapegoat?

“And if I don’t agree?” Tong Ang still decided to resist Long Xian. He invited him back then to help Tong Xieyi achieve the position of the family head, not to let him ride on his head!

Long Xian laughed heartily and suddenly folded his fan. “That’s up to you.”

After saying that, he walked away with a smile. That laughter made Tong Ang feel very uncomfortable. He felt that it was mixed with mockery.

However, he really did not expect Long Xian to be so easy to talk to. He thought that if he went against Long Xian, Long Xian would at least lose his temper. Then, the two of them would argue. In the end, there would be nothing…

At home, in the kitchen—

While Yi Juncheng was cooking, Sheng Yang was reading a book and would look at him from time to time.

In the past, she only read in the study or living room. Now that Yi Juncheng was in the kitchen, the little monster was here to cling to him.

“Open your mouth.” Yi Juncheng made mushroom crab roe noodles. He cut open the mushroom and filled it with the noodles that were mixed with fresh crab roe.

The noodles were smooth and sticky. They had the clear sweetness of shiitake mushrooms and the fresh taste of crab roe.

The mushrooms were roasted. The outer layer was crispy and fragrant, but the inside was still tender and juicy.

Academics could cook better than ordinary people because they knew better how to use the heat to their advantage and were aware of the right timings for things.

Sheng Yang glanced at him and obediently opened her mouth. She accidentally bit his fingers with her teeth, which made her little ears quiver.

Yi Juncheng’s expression didn’t change. He ate the remaining half of her unfinished food.

Sister Qian was about to enter the kitchen when she glanced at the door.

‘I’m so envious of this young couple.’

She walked away, but when she reached the living room, she couldn’t resist texting Kang Lixing.

[Mr. Kang, the way Miss and Mr. Yi get along is really too similar to how you and that lady were back then…]

After sending it out, Sister Qian regretted it. Even if she had sent it out because of her feelings, wasn’t she being too nosy?

However, the message she sent could not be deleted.

But it was fine. Sister Qian found a computer and fiddled with it for a while. After a while, she pressed the ‘delete’ button.

Although she could still see it from her side, Mr. Kang wouldn’t be able to read it. Sister Qian looked at her phone in satisfaction and pretended that she had never sent it.

Kang Lixing was in the country. He stood by the window for a long time, holding the phone in his hands. Were the young couple similar to how he and that woman were like before?

Unfortunately, she was different from Yangyang, and he wasn’t as insistent as Yi Juncheng.

If they had both made progress back then, would the outcome have been different?

Kang Lixing covered his face with his hands. He was afraid to think about it and couldn’t think about it.

Zhao Manshu walked in and draped a shirt over Kang Lixing’s shoulders although the man had already stepped back alertly.

Zhao Manshu smiled, still as elegant as ever. “Why are you so afraid of me?”

Back then, she was the woman that all the men in the country wanted to marry. Her every move was like a model. She was gentle and had no temper.

However, Old Madam Kang and Old Master Kang uncharacteristically treated her coldly. After so many years, they were still polite to her as if they did not treat her as family. However, they were never vague about how a daughter-in-law should act.

Kang Lixing frowned. “I told you not to enter my study.”
