Su Bin’s perspective shifted as he let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that the contract had been redeemed and entrusted to his Fifth Brother for safekeeping.
He couldn’t help but express his happiness, saying, “I have misjudged you,
Third Sister-in-law. You are truly a good person!” Su Bin glanced at him coldly, questioning, “Did you get swayed that easily?” His words struck a chord of embarrassment within him.
Just a few days ago, he had confidently declared his intention to help his Third
Brother break off the engagement. And yet, here he was, defending her instead.
Moreover, she was his Third Sister-in-law, and his Third Brother was responsible for her well-being.
Su Ning chimed in, saying, “Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law is making progress!”
Su Bin responded calmly, “I understand.”
But he added, “A couple of good moments doesn’t necessarily indicate overall improvement.”
With that, Su Bin retreated into the study without uttering another word.
Meanwhile, Su Ning pulled Su Cheng along to harvest vegetables.
Su Ning had a hidden agenda—she wanted her Third Sister-in-law to impress Third Brother. Turning to Qin Zhenzhen, she suggested, “Third Sister-in-law, I’m not skilled in making double-cooked pork or stir-frying meat with chili. How about you take charge of tonight’s cooking?”
“Fifth Brother and I will assist you; you just need to handle the frying.”
Qin Zhenzhen didn’t question Su Ning’s intentions and agreed with a nod.
“Alright.”
Her goal was to gain favor with Su Bin, not because she wanted him to like her, but because she aimed to end their relationship amicably, paving the way for a peaceful breakup.
As the dishes were prepared, the table soon became adorned with a variety of delectable offerings.
Su Ping’s senses were captivated by the enticing aroma of wild boar meat. He cast a glance toward the kitchen, where Qin Zhenzhen stood confidently with a spatula in hand. His anticipation grew.
They were all eager to experience Qin Zhenzhen’s culinary prowess. Rumor had it that she cooked like a skilled chef, as their brothers had previously claimed. Su Ning rushed to the study and called out to Su Bin, “Third Brother, it’s time to eat!”
“Understood.”
Su Bin closed the book he was engrossed in and rose from his seat.
Unable to contain herself, Su Ning couldn’t help but share, “Third Brother,
Third Sister-in-law prepared all the dishes tonight!”
Su Bin glanced at Su Ning, silently implying that there was no need to emphasize this fact.
Su Ning stuck out her tongue and muttered to herself, “I’m just afraid you’ll be embarrassed and claim you’ve never tasted such delicious food before.”
As he stepped out of the study and laid eyes upon the table adorned with mouthwatering dishes, Su Bin was taken aback.
Noticing everyone’s gaze upon him, he calmly picked up his chopsticks and began savoring each dish, one by one.
With each bite, he couldn’t help but be moved.
They had never expected the flavors to be so exquisite!
He had never tasted twice-cooked pork or braised pork before.
No wonder she had such a plump figure—her culinary skills were exceptional!
But so what if she was a talented cook?
He wasn’t someone who merely sought to satisfy his appetite.
Moreover, the humiliation she had inflicted upon him couldn’t be resolved with a few dishes alone.
As he finished each dish, he found himself increasingly motivated.
Fifth Brother and Sixth Sister hadn’t deceived them. Third Sister-in-law’s culinary skills were truly exceptional.
She could surpass the abilities of three men and was more than capable of supporting her siblings.
With Third Sister-in-law looking after Fifth Brother and Sixth Sister at home, Third Brother could focus on his studies without any worries, while he himself could venture into the outside world with peace of mind.
However, the condition for all this was that Third Brother had to accept Third Sister-in-law.
Su Ping stole a glance at Su Bin, fully aware that his brother wouldn’t change his stance so easily.
Unlike him, Third Brother didn’t indulge in large portions. He only took a small taste of each dish..
