The sun was shining brightly over the weekend.

Lin Chen had a rare moment of leisure and returned to help out at the small teahouse run by his mother, Shen Manyun.

He changed out of his police uniform and into a simple white T-shirt and casual pants. He lay lazily in a rocking chair in the backyard, basking in the sun, holding a cup of freshly brewed Da Hong Pao tea. He looked like a salted fish whose body had been hollowed out by life.

Shen Manyun was so busy in the shop that she couldn't stop running. Seeing her son's behavior, she got angry and yelled through the window.

"You brat! All you do is lie around! Come help me move this box of tea to the storage room!"

Lin Chen took a sip of tea and replied slowly.

"Mom, I'm preserving the country's strength so that I'll have the energy to solve any major cases that might arise."

"I think you're just trying to slack off!"

Shen Manyun chuckled and scolded him, but didn't really force him.

She knew that her son had done a great service this time.

Although Su Qingge didn't go into the specific details, the gleaming gold medal alone was enough for her to brag about to her neighbors for a year.

The mother and son were bickering when a bright red Ferrari sports car, accompanied by a deep engine roar, came to a steady stop in front of the teahouse.

The car door opened, and a perfectly slender and beautiful leg, encased in black stockings, stepped out first.

Ye Qingcheng was wearing a black Chanel business suit. She took off her sunglasses, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that could captivate anyone. She was also carrying a beautifully packaged gift box.

"Auntie, I've come to see you."

She walked into the store, her voice cool, but her attitude was very respectful.

"Oh my, it's Qingcheng! Come in, come in!"

As soon as Shen Manyun saw Ye Qingcheng, she couldn't stop smiling.

"You've come all this way, no need to bring anything, you're too kind!"

Hearing the noise in the backyard, Lin Chen's eyelids twitched and his heart skipped a beat.

What brings this lady here?

Before he could even get up, the second car arrived.

A black Audi A8L, understated and composed, bearing the license plate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Su Qingge got out of the car. She wasn't wearing her police uniform today; instead, she had changed into a beige trench coat. Her long hair was down, making her look less capable and more like a girl next door.

She was also carrying a gift box in her hand.

"Auntie, I heard from Ke'er that you've been enjoying Lapsang Souchong lately, so I asked someone to bring some specially supplied Lapsang Souchong from Wuyishan."

Su Qingge's voice was sweet and crisp.

"Oh my, Qingge's here too! Please, have a seat!"

Shen Manyun's smile grew even brighter. Holding Ye Qingcheng's hand in one hand and Su Qingge's hand in the other, she felt that she had reached the pinnacle of her life.

Lin Chen couldn't sit still in the backyard any longer.

He felt the sun was a bit too intense today, making his back break out in a cold sweat.

However, this is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, a white BMW MINI stopped behind the Audi.

Jiang Tingxue, a cool and aloof forensic doctor, walked in wearing a white dress, with her long hair reaching her waist, and carrying a professional-looking imported health product gift box.

"Auntie, Uncle, I heard from Lin Chen that Uncle has an old knee injury. This is the latest Swiss collagen, which is very good for joint repair."

She spoke softly, but her enunciation was clear, conveying a convincing sense of professionalism.

Lin's father, Lin Zhiyuan, happened to come out from the back room. Hearing this, he was stunned when he saw the fairy-like girl in front of him.

Finally, a pink Volkswagen Beetle stopped at the end of the line.

Music teacher Su Ke'er jumped off the car like a cheerful little rabbit. She had her hair in a cute bun, wore overalls, and was holding a steaming hot cake that she had made herself.

"Auntie! Uncle! I just baked this cheesecake, come and have a taste!"

Thus, four luxury cars and four stunningly beautiful women gathered together.

The small tea room was already too small to fit everyone in the front hall.

Shen Manyun simply invited all four of her "future daughters-in-law" to the backyard.

The once spacious backyard suddenly became crowded.

Lin Chen lay on the rocking chair, feeling as if he wasn't sunbathing, but being simultaneously scorched by four different types of searchlights.

The air was filled with the aromas of Chanel No. 5, Jo Malone Bluebell, Dior J'adore, and the sweet scent of cheesecake. These scents blended together to create an extremely subtle, yet fiery fragrance.

The battleground has officially begun.

"Auntie, let me help you wash the vegetables!"

Ye Qingcheng was the first to act. She took off her suit jacket, revealing a silk shirt underneath, walked to the sink, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to start working.

As it turned out, she clearly had no experience with this kind of work. When she turned on the tap, water splashed everywhere, almost wetting the tobacco leaves that Lin's father had just hung out to dry.

"Qingcheng, your hands are for negotiating contracts worth hundreds of millions, you can't do this, take a break!"

Shen Manyun quickly pulled her away.

Jiang Tingxue walked over to Lin Zhiyuan, looked at his walking posture, and spoke in an unquestionable professional tone.

"Uncle, your right knee joint has a slight outward turn when you bend it, which is a sign of meniscus wear. I suggest you do 20 minutes of quadriceps isometric contraction exercises every day."

Lin Zhiyuan was stunned by what she said and subconsciously wanted to follow suit.

Su Ke'er cut the cake and offered the first piece to Lin Chen, speaking in a sickeningly sweet voice.

"Brother Lin Chen, try it, ah—"

Lin Chen was caught in an awkward situation, unsure whether to open his mouth or not.

Only Su Qingge didn't say anything. She just silently walked into the kitchen, picked up a broom, and started cleaning for Shen Manyun. Her movements were quick and efficient, showing that she was someone who did housework often.

Shen Manyun looked at the four girls in front of her, each one as beautiful as an angel, and they were so good to her son. She was overjoyed, but at the same time, she was also very worried.

Both are precious, which one should I choose?

Looking at the tense atmosphere, Lin Chen felt that if things continued like this, his backyard would definitely explode today.

He took a deep breath and stood up from the rocking chair.

It's time to show the real technology!

[God-level Psychological Profiling] Now Open! [God-level Micro-expression Analysis] Now Open!

In an instant, the emotional fluctuations, psychological needs, and even the words the four female protagonists might say in the next second formed a clear data stream in his mind.

Ye Qingcheng: She longs to integrate into the family and prove that she is not just a strong woman, but needs to have her "efforts" acknowledged.

Su Qingge: A pragmatist who expresses affection through actions, dislikes flashy gestures, and needs to have her "efforts" recognized.

Jiang Tingxue: She prioritizes professionalism, is accustomed to using knowledge to build connections, and needs to have her "professionalism" recognized.

Su Ke'er: A straightforward person with a clear goal: to please Lin Chen and get a "direct response".

"Stop doing that!"

Lin Chen clapped his hands, a bright and sunny smile on his face.

"Today I'm cooking for you myself, so you can taste my cooking skills!"

He plunged headfirst into the kitchen.

[God-level culinary skills], full power activated!

For a time, the small kitchen became his personal stage.

Amidst the clatter of knives and the clatter of pots and pans, he prepared a sea bass with his left hand while simultaneously massaging a free-range chicken with his right. Three stoves burned in front of him at the same time, and he tossed, stirred, thickened, and plated the food with fluid, artistic movements.

The four women and the two elders of the Lin family watched in stunned silence.

Less than half an hour.

Four exquisite dishes, each a masterpiece of color, aroma, and taste, were served.

A dish of "Longjing Shrimp" is light and refreshing. The fragrance of tea perfectly balances the sweetness of the shrimp, making it a special dish for Ye Qingcheng, who prefers light flavors and values ​​health.

A dish called "Dongpo Pork" is fatty but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and has a rich soy sauce flavor. It is specially made for Su Qingge, who usually has a lot of training and needs to replenish her energy.

A dish called "Gastrodia elata and fish head soup" combines medicinal and dietary benefits, nourishing the brain and specially prepared for Jiang Tingxue, a forensic doctor who frequently uses her brain and has irregular work and rest schedules.

The last dish was a dessert called "Osmanthus Sticky Rice Lotus Root," which was sweet, sticky, and delicious, specially made for Su Ke'er, the little rabbit who loves sweets.

Lin Chen arranged the dishes and began his extreme water-carrying maneuver.

He first placed a piece of shrimp on Ye Qingcheng's plate.

"Qingcheng, you're so busy with work, you should eat more light meals. Thank you for offering to help wash the vegetables earlier, my mom will remember that kindness."

A corner of Ye Qingcheng's icy face melted instantly.

Then he served Su Qingge a bowl of soup.

"Qingge, you've worked so hard too, doing so much quietly, we've all seen it."

Su Qingge lowered her head, but couldn't help but smile.

He then turned to Jiang Tingxue.

"Tingxue, you're absolutely right. My dad really needs to take care of his knees. This fish head soup is good for the brain, and it's perfect for you since you use your brain too much for dissections."

A hint of warmth flickered in Jiang Tingxue's cool eyes.

Finally, he pinched Su Ke'er's cheek.

"Little glutton, the cake is delicious, but put less sugar next time, it's bad for your teeth. This glutinous rice lotus root is your favorite."

Su Ke'er's eyes narrowed into slits with happiness.

With a series of smooth and skillful maneuvers, he transformed a potentially explosive chaotic scene into a harmonious family dinner.

Lin's father, Lin Zhiyuan, watched in awe, feeling both admiration and a touch of jealousy for his son.

Shen Manyun secretly gave Lin Chen a big thumbs up from under the table.

This kid has surpassed his master!
