Chapter 123: While The Priest Climbs A Foot, The Devil Climbs Ten
Since they were at Yi Juncheng’s home, Yi Juncheng showed great hospitality. “Uncle, Auntie, please take a seat. Brother Hanjing, Yuxi…”
The Sheng Family had mixed feelings which was hard to describe in words. It wasn’t until Yi Juncheng asked them to sit that they all sat down awkwardly.
Even Sheng Yuxi, the simplest-minded one among them, realized that something was wrong. Was the relationship between her younger sister and Yi Juncheng really that simple?
Then why had his sister never cooked for him?
Sheng Yuxi felt very jealous and looked quite sour.
Sheng Yang thought Yi Juncheng’s idea was quite appropriate. She had always wanted to do something for her family, but she had no clue of what to do. At home, they never let her do anything, not even let her carry her own schoolbag. She could take this chance to treat them to a big meal today.
Sheng Yang was about to serve them rice when Yi Juncheng said, “Let me do it.”
The two operated so well just like a married couple, which reminded Kang Weizhen of her and Sheng You from their early days.
Sheng You kept his head down, unable to bear seeing his daughter being so close to another man.
But soon, he was shocked by the delicacies and forgot to feel jealous.
“Yangyang, were these dishes really cooked by you?”
Sheng Yang said honestly, “Yes.”
“Sister, this is too delicious!” Sheng Yuxi gobbled down the food and almost couldn’t stop. He had never eaten such delicious food!
Sheng Hanjing was eating with poise, but he narrowed his eyes and looked at his sister, feeling shocked too.
He had traveled around the world over the years, visited various Michelin star restaurants in different countries and tasted mysterious local delicacies hidden in small alleys, but some of the dishes made by his sister could match those foods in taste. Some even exceeded them!
Sheng Hanjing stared at Sheng Yang and couldn’t help asking, “Did you cook a lot before, Sister?”
Hearing that, Kang Weizhen felt distressed again. This child must have cooked a lot, so she could cook so well.
Sheng Yang immediately clarified, “This is the first time I’ve ever cooked. I cooked according to the recipes I found on the Internet.”
The others looked at each other, speechless. It seemed that Yangyang was quite talented in everything.
But hearing this was her first time, everyone looked at Yi Juncheng again.
Yi Juncheng didn’t deny it at all. His charming eyes glowed and he smiled. “Is there anything you’d like to ask me?”
“Well… no.” Everyone was speechless. Sheng Hanjing wanted to ask him some questions, but he gave up since Yangyang was still around.
Alas, while the priest climbed a foot, the devil climbed ten.
This man looked so gentle and kind-hearted and his eyes were so innocent, but why did he steal his little sister?

After the family went home, the two brothers went upstairs and Kang Weizhen and Sheng You stayed with Sheng Yang in the living room. They looked at Sheng Yang hesitantly and seemed to have something to say.
Sheng Yang asked, “Mom, Dad, do you have something to say to me?”
“Yangyang, we plan to hold a small banquet for you. We’ll invite our friends and relatives to come and officially tell everyone your identity. It’s a coming-of-age gift for you. Would you like that?” Sheng You said, and the couple waited nervously for Yangyang’s reply.
