I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 478 Different Charm
"Qingdai, Shaohua's cousin is interested in you." Wang Yanzeng put the crabs into the dishwasher and glanced at the three men in the living room, and said in a firm tone.

She was not good at studying, but she was quite good at matters between men and women. When she was in school, she was the most sharp-eyed gossiper in the class. She knew who had a crush on whom, who was secretly in love with whom, and who had eaten the forbidden fruit with whom.

Things between men and women are much more rule-bound than Brownian motion.

"Ah, I like it." Xia Qingdai raised her eyes nonchalantly and asked, "If a man and a woman like each other's posts on WeChat Moments, does that count as an affair?"

Wang Yanzeng smiled with her hands covering her mouth, then pressed the switch of the dishwasher and smiled slightly at the sound of running water in the dishwasher: "If you don't believe me, forget it."

Anyway, she would definitely not be wrong. Yan Shixian was 100% interested in Xia Qingdai.

She had just attended a celebration banquet held by the Yan family for Yan Shixian, who had just returned from the Olympics. In addition to relatives, there were also friends of Yan's parents at the banquet. Yan Shixian's attitude towards everyone was at best polite but cold.

But now look at it again, Yan Shixian, who is alienated from his relatives, sits next to Xia Shanglu, smiling like a fat man with his pockets full of sunshine. If she wasn't subconsciously trying to please her brother-in-law, she would write her last name backwards.

But she saw that Xia Qingdai didn't want to talk about this topic at all, so she stopped talking about it. After all, she was just not good at studying, not emotional intelligence.

Wang Yanzeng is a good cook and is very efficient at work. She can prepare lunch for five people in less than two hours.

When the appetizers were almost done, Wang Yanzeng took the initiative to invite everyone to eat first, and the following dishes were served while they were being cooked. One of them was a squirrel mandarin fish, which could be described as "full of color, aroma and taste". This kind of high-difficulty dish should only appear in high-end hotels, but now Wang Yanzeng personally served it on the table as a home-cooked dish.

Xia Qingdai looked at the squirrel-shaped, orange-yellow fish in surprise and disbelief. Forgive her for her limited knowledge, she had never eaten this dish before.

"What kind of fish is this? It looks like it's difficult to cook." Even though the fish looked so beautiful, she didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks.

"Squirrel mandarin fish." Wang Yanzeng explained with a smile, "I learned this in cooking class. Try it and see if it tastes good."

"Great!" Xia Qingdai gave her a thumbs up. It looked very strenuous to learn how to cook this dish.

"Cousin, are you taking cooking classes?" Yan Shixian was also a little surprised.

"Well, I like cooking, and my kitchen happens to have everything I need, so I signed up for cooking and pastry classes after work. I'll make afternoon tea snacks for you this afternoon to see if my tuition fees are in vain."

"Okay, I will." Yan Shixian turned around and patted Yan Shaohua lightly, "Cousin, you are in for a treat!"

"That's right, I have a good eye." Yan Shaohua turned to look at his girlfriend with a proud look on his face and praised, "Your sister-in-law is capable of both being a lady in the living room and being a housewife in the kitchen."

"Oh, how can you be so boastful?" Wang Yan felt embarrassed by what Yan Shaohua said. She turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue her work.

As the head chef, Wang Yanzeng was naturally the last one to come to the table, but she had a smile on her face from beginning to end and did not seem to feel tired at all.

After dinner, she cleaned up by herself. When Xia Qingdai wanted to help, she was firmly stopped by her because she had a dishwasher. Xia Shanglu never understood why Wang Yanzeng's ex-boyfriend, a second-generation rich man, was so paranoid and kept pestering his ex-girlfriend; nor did he understand why a successful man like Yan Shaohua would like a girl with only a junior high school diploma.

But after this meal, he understood!
Wasn’t Hong Qigong, who ate all over the world, deceived by Huang Rong’s cooking skills and learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?

Wang Yanzeng is a beautiful woman with a charming appearance. She also has excellent cooking skills which are almost extinct among young girls in this society. She also looks at Yan Shaohua with admiration from time to time, which makes her have the upper hand over Yan Shaohua.

Just by looking at their body language, Xia Shanglu could conclude that their lives were very harmonious, and Yan Shaohua was probably in the passionately in love stage now.

Xia Shanglu, who has seen countless bizarre cases from ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad, knows very well that a woman's attraction to a man does not lie solely in her talent and appearance. Sometimes the attraction of physiological instinct is even more deadly.

There is a short, fat and ugly woman in a small island country. With her cooking skills and some special skills, she has become a hit with straight men, and many middle-class men are obsessed with her.

Wang Yan once had more advantages than the woman from that small island country - she was not only virtuous, but also really beautiful.

It seems that this couple is not just dating casually, and there is really a possibility that they will enter the marriage palace.

The brother and sister had afternoon tea at Yan Shaohua's house, ate the snacks baked by Wang Yan, and then said goodbye, politely declining the other party's invitation to stay for dinner.

Yan Shixian asked Xia Shanglu very attentively if he wanted to go to the court to play a few rounds of ball together. Xia Shanglu raised his injured hand and smiled bitterly, "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but I'm still not good enough to play basketball."

"This man really deserves to die." Yan Shixian cursed in a chorus of hatred, "Hire a lawyer to fight the case properly and sentence him to more years."

"Your cousin asked for it. But no matter how he is sentenced, it's just like that. The injury is very light and the crime will not be serious." Xia Shanglu spread his hands. He was really seriously injured at the beginning, but Du Zhong's superb suturing skills saved him and the perpetrator.

"Alas." Yan Shixian didn't know what to say. He couldn't understand those people's train of thought.

Since there was no way to get close to Xia Shanglu, and Xia Qingdai seemed eager to go home, he didn't say much. He sent them to the basement hall, then waved and said goodbye.

"Goodbye!" Xia Qingdai waved happily, pushed open the door and walked out of the hall of Building 5 without any reluctance.

"Little sister, I see that you don't even think about going out to play. Aren't you bored staying at home every day?" Xia Shanglu tilted his head and asked Xia Qingdai.

Xia Shanglu had to face the fact that his sister was growing up, becoming more and more beautiful, and there were more and more boys coveting her, so he asked indirectly.

Fortunately, Xia Qingdai's answer reassured him. She waved her hand and said casually, "What's fun outside? I might as well go back to see my castle and play my piano."

To be precise, she would rather go to the 18th century than hang out outside!
In a few days, Owen will be accompanying the large army on a diplomatic mission to the Qing Dynasty, and she has to help Owen prepare things.

Besides, the school was about to start, so why go out? It was so much fun staying at home. It was so hot outside, she didn't want to go out for a minute. When she went back from Building 5 to Building 1, she only wanted to go through the basement, because she couldn't stand on the ground for even a moment.
