Chapter 76 Didn't You Have Women Around You Before, Tan Ge?
After greeting Song Jing, Song Ni began to participate in the preparations of others. Qin Yang couldn't help but tease. "It's different after getting married, huh? You never used to participate in these things?" Even when the three of them ate hot pot together, all Song Ni could do was buy the ingredients. The young lady's delicate fingers never touched spring water, but today, the sun must have risen from the west for her to actively do these things.
Hearing this, Song Ni raised an eyebrow and withdrew her hand. "Then I won't do it anymore?" Cheng Ling fanned the flames from the side. "Yangyang, don't say that. It's rare for her to be so enthusiastic about doing things, let her do it for a while longer." As soon as he said this, it caused everyone to burst into laughter. Song Ni didn't mind being the butt of her friends' jokes at all, nor was she ashamed. "Then you guys better seize the opportunity, it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to eat barbecue made by my own hands." Qin Yang's laughter became even more unrestrained. "Listen up, everyone. If you eat anything that doesn't taste good later, it's definitely Nini's fault." Song Ni: ... Another burst of laughter.
"Speaking of barbecue, we have a master barbecue chef here." As soon as Lu Fang said this, everyone stopped what they were doing. Qin Yang and Cheng Ling were only half-hearted. Lu Hao Ting didn't look like the type to start a fire. As for Song Jing, let alone cooking these things, he barely ate them. So... all eyes fell on Tan Zheng. Song Ni was quite surprised. "You can barbecue?" Tan Zheng looked like someone who only enjoyed eating meat, so how could he barbecue? But he really could. The man stepped forward and snatched the seasoning from Song Ni's hand. "Go and wait on the side." It was clear he was going to do it himself. Seeing this, Lu Fang smiled triumphantly. "Tan Ge used to dislike the way others grilled meat, so he went and learned how to do it himself. He hasn't personally done it for many years. Today, everyone has a treat." Song Ni's eyes widened slightly. "You can really do it?" Tan Zheng turned his head to look at her. "Don't believe me?" Song Ni shook her head. In her opinion, Tan Zheng didn't seem like the type of person who would do such things. But if it was for the sake of eating good meat and enjoying it better, it was also quite reasonable for Tan Zheng to learn this skill to please himself. Moreover, according to Lu Fang, Tan Zheng rarely did it himself. Tan Zheng snorted, offering no explanation. The taste would speak for itself when they ate later. With Tan Zheng taking over, Song Ni sat down to rest with peace of mind. She asked Lu Hao Ting, who was also looking shocked, "You didn't know he could barbecue?" Lu Hao Ting swallowed. "I didn't know." He was young, and before, Lu Fang disliked him being a tag-along and didn't want to bring him along. He only got acquainted with Tan Zheng in recent years. It made sense; earlier, when they were racing, he was just a little kid, so how could he bring him along? Song Ni patted Lu Hao Ting on the shoulder. "It's okay, maybe your brother was exaggerating." Lu Fang's interest was piqued upon hearing this. "Sister-in-law, want to bet?" "Bet on what?" "If Tan Ge's whole roasted lamb comes out later, you can't snatch the lamb leg from me." Song Ni: ... "Just this?" Lu Fang's eyes were full of smiles. "Yeah, just this." The more Song Ni disbelieved and didn't care now, the more she would regret it later. Tan Zheng, hearing this so-called bet, merely smiled meaningfully at Song Ni. Song Ni found the smile inexplicable. However, whether Tan Zheng's barbecue skills were good or not was still unknown for now, but his posture while grilling was enough to be alluring. He rolled up his sleeves to his wrists, revealing his muscular arms. He had a cigarette dangling from his lips, his brows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed slightly. It was unclear whether it was due to the cigarette or the charcoal fire. His white shirt was also stained at some point. The arrogant man was now mingling with the world's affairs, his posture casual, yet the aura of control could still be seen. Song Ni couldn't take her eyes off him. She suddenly leaned in curiously to Lu Hao Ting's ear and whispered, "Didn't you have women around you before, Tan Ge?" Logically, a man as sexy as Tan Zheng wouldn't lack admirers, wasn't that Miss Bai one of them? Since he didn't lack people who liked him, wasn't there anyone who caught his eye and stayed by his side? Lu Hao Ting was startled by Song Ni's sudden closeness and shifted uncomfortably to the side, raising his hand to touch his numb earlobe. "Sister-in-law, don't get so close to me." He'd be killed by Tan Ge. Song Ni: ... To be actually despised by her own idol. This brat Lu Hao Ting! Song Ni coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and no longer leaned in, sitting up straight. "Quick, tell me." Lu Hao Ting lowered his head and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any women close to Tan Zheng. The circles he hung out with Tan Zheng were either bars or various outdoor activities. "The only one I know is his ex-girlfriend I told you about last time." After speaking, Lu Hao Ting frowned. "It couldn't even be considered an ex-girlfriend." Song Ni became interested. "What do you mean?" Lu Hao Ting was still in school at the time and couldn't remember clearly. He only knew that it was because the woman was too clingy and thick-skinned, and Tan Zheng might have agreed just to stop her from nagging him incessantly. "They dated for less than three months, and during that time, Tan Ge was busy with competitions and they barely saw each other." Song Ni raised an eyebrow. "Then Tan Zheng wasn't a good boyfriend." Lu Hao Ting laughed. "Tan Ge already found her annoying. If her brother wasn't a leader in the racing field, Tan Ge wouldn't have paid her any attention. I think this kind of cold treatment was to drive her away." Song Ni raised an eyebrow and laughed, scolding, "Scumbag." Lu Hao Ting only then belatedly became flustered. How could he talk about Tan Ge's ex in front of his sister-in-law on their wedding day?! "Sister-in-law, Tan Ge is actually a decent person, not a scumbag, at most he's just..." Lu Hao Ting carefully chose his words. "Finds women troublesome?" Song Ni looked at Lu Hao Ting's cautious demeanor with a smile. Tan Zheng indeed seemed like someone who would find women troublesome. But... he didn't seem to dislike her that much. "Your Tan Ge still made me breakfast yesterday morning." Lu Hao Ting was dumbfounded, his voice rising. "Tan Ge made breakfast for you?" He was too surprised, his tone was a bit distorted, and everyone else looked over. Including Tan Zheng. Song Ni didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, she looked at Tan Zheng, who was staring at her, with a hint of provocation, raised her eyebrows, and started talking nonsense. "Yes, even the temperature of the milk was just right. I drank it as soon as I woke up." Lu Hao Ting: ! ! ! ! ! Lu Fang: ? ? ? ? ? Qin Yang: ? ? ? !!! Cheng Ling: A bit hard to believe? Song Jing looked at Tan Zheng with a hint of surprise. Song Ni's habit of drinking milk had been developed since childhood. She didn't expect Tan Zheng to notice and take care of it so meticulously. Seeing the slyness in Song Ni's eyes, Tan Zheng didn't expose her, letting her have her fun. Anyway, he wouldn't lose anything, and he would even create a better impression in Song Jing's eyes. Why not? ??? Tan Zheng: My wife is so good, giving me such a good image in front of my elder brother. Song Ni: ... Can't you actually do it? Tan Zheng: You wish. Song Ni: Of course, people should aim high. Darlings, please recommend and comment! ????? (End of this chapter)
