558: A familiar taste.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry. After we settle things in a few days, we'll go home... Big Sister's health is much better..."

Hearing this, Chief Gu looked towards the kitchen not far away, where Wang Yi was busy.

He stared intently, his thoughts drifting back more than twenty years ago. Back then, his wife and he had two sons. In their free time, his wife would cook in the kitchen, and he would help, while their two sons would sit obediently, waiting to be fed.

This scene now was exactly like it was back then.

"Godmother."

Hearing Niannian's voice, Wang Nian said with a smile.

"Niannian, you're here! I've made several dishes. You can eat soon."

Chief Gu looked at Wang Yi and said softly.

"I followed Niannian to get a free meal."

Wang Yi glanced at Chief Gu and nodded faintly.

"Okay."

Hearing Wang Yi's words, Chief Gu smiled.

Xiao Niannian looked at her father. His military uniform was new, his hair was washed, and his leather shoes were polished very brightly. Close up, she could even smell the scent of the body wash she had made for him.

Oh, Old Gu is really thoughtful.

Xiao Niannian pursed her lips and smiled.

"Niannian, you didn't even call Uncle."

"I just did, you didn't hear me."

Young Master Wang heard this and said with a chuckle.

"I was just talking to your Maternal Grandparents. They can't come over right now, but if it's convenient later, they'd like to see you. If you all can go to Hong Kong City in the future, they'd also like to invite you to visit them..."

"Okay, please ask Uncle Wang to send my regards to them."

"I'll send your regards."

Young Master Wang looked at Chief Gu. Although Chief Gu held a high position, he still found him somewhat displeasing.

His sister was never anyone's substitute. Chief Gu shouldn't think of tricking his sister.

However, for Niannian's sake, he wouldn't say anything unpleasant to his face.

But Young Master Wang then thought, the Wang family is now a prominent family in Hong Kong City. In these years, they really haven't had any marriages with other families. In recent years, his parents wanted his sister to marry into another family, but his sister didn't agree.

And he didn't want to marry for alliance either.

If... never mind, his sister had her own ideas anyway.

"My cooking is decent. Your injuries aren't fully healed yet, I'll take care of the rest."

Chief Gu rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Wang Yi.

Hearing Chief Gu's words, Wang Yi took the items out of the oven.

Xiao Niannian also quickly stepped forward and took the items from Wang Yi's hand.

Seeing her father's actions, Xiao Niannian immediately walked towards the living room, clearing the space.

She trusted her intuition, and she trusted her father's conviction—this was her mother.

If it were just someone similar, she wouldn't have acted this way.

Nor would she have tried to set up her father and Godmother.

Young Master Wang looked at the delicious food and praised it.

"Niannian, my sister made all these delicious dishes because of you. I barely get to eat them once or twice a year..."

If it were anyone else, he would definitely be jealous, but his niece, he wouldn't be jealous of her.

Chief Gu had long prepared to show off his skills, so he cooked with two woks simultaneously, and he also made several dishes next door, which he now had the Guard bring over.

Half an hour later, a table full of delicious food was served.

Chief Gu specifically made two dishes his wife used to love, and after asking Niannian, he made four more dishes his wife loved.

"Please try these dishes."

Chief Gu said with a smile.

Wang Yi smiled faintly and thanked him.

"Thank you, Chief Gu."

Young Master Wang looked at the dishes, also quite surprised.

He hadn't expected someone of Chief Gu's status to be able to cook so much. He had deliberately stood at the kitchen door earlier, watching Chief Gu cook, and his skilled movements showed he was truly good at it.

He used to cook too, but his dishes, well, could only be described as edible.

"Young Master Wang, please come and eat."

Hearing Chief Gu call him, Young Master Wang nodded.

He quite liked the title Young Master Wang.

"comrade Wang Yi, please try these dishes. Two of them have no chili, and the others are mildly spicy. Once you're feeling better, you can have spicier ones."

Hearing Chief Gu's words, Wang Yi nodded.

Xiao Niannian looked at her father's eager expression and lowered her head to eat.

Wang Yi wasn't entirely indifferent. It was just that at her age, some things weren't as simple as just being moved. Moreover, their statuses were different. At her age, men were dispensable to her.

Wang Yi tasted a bite of Chief Gu's dish, feeling a slight surprise in her heart.

It was delicious, and it gave her a very familiar feeling.

She didn't show it but continued to taste the other dishes. The other few dishes were all very good, all giving her a familiar taste. And tasting these dishes, she could even guess the methods.

She ate her meal slowly, head down. Wang Yi ate a bowl of rice today, whereas usually, she only ate half a small bowl, and she had tasted several bites of each of these dishes.

Young Master Wang's eyes widened in surprise at his sister's appetite.

His sister usually didn't eat much, but today she ate more than half a small bowl more than usual.

After Wang Yi put down her chopsticks, she saw Niannian eating heartily, and a smile appeared on her face.

If she had married and had children, it would probably be a scene like this. However, for all these years, she had never thought of getting married, nor was she interested in those who pursued her.

Although her parents had urged her over the years and set her up on blind dates, she felt no desire to marry when she saw those people.

Chief Gu's gaze fell on Wang Yi. Seeing that she had finished eating, Chief Gu said with a smile.

"Are you done eating?"

"Mm."

Wang Yi got up and started to clear the dishes.

"I'll do it."

Chief Gu immediately took the dishes from her hand. Their hands touched, and Wang Yi quickly withdrew her hand, turning to walk towards the sofa.

Chief Gu picked up the dishes and walked towards the kitchen.

After Xiao Niannian finished eating, Wang Yi looked at her with a smile.

"Do you like these pastries? Take more home later. Godmother will make more for you tomorrow."

"Godmother, I like them very much, but please don't make any for the next few days. These will last many days. You should recover first."

Hearing Niannian's words, Wang Yi said with a smile.

"The medicine you gave me is excellent. My wound has completely healed, and I feel my body has recovered."

Wang Yi was somewhat surprised by Niannian's medicine.

In Hong Kong City, she had seen some powerful medicines, but Niannian's medicine was indeed ten times more effective than others.

She had been shot before, back when she had just taken over the family business.

Later, after she took over, some of the Wang family's underworld affairs were moved underground.

Some families, thinking the Wang family was easy to bully, made a move against them.

She annihilated those few families.

But another family conspired to ambush her.
