The Long-awaited Mr Han
chapter-2103

Shi Guanzhong kept nodding while eating. “It’s delicious. Xiaoya’s cooking is much better than those of head chefs out there.”

Shi Xiaoya laughed and said, “Dad, I know my limits. My cooking skills are just the average home-cooked meal standards. It can’t be compared to that of a head chef.”

“Who says so? I just think the food you cook is the best,” Shi Guanzhong said.

Han Zhuoling also nodded. “Dad is right, I think so too. It’s much better than what the head chef at Sheng Yue cooks.”

Shi Xiaoya felt really teased by them.

She thought to herself that Yan Beicheng should not hear Han Zhuoling saying that.

If Yan Beicheng knew that Han Zhuoling said his head chef’s cooking could not even compare to hers, Yan Beicheng might feel too depressed.

Du Yiqin had nagged and instructed Shi Guanzhong numerous times not to drag Han Zhuoling to drink to no end with him when they came this time.

They came for a housewarming, not to get drunk.

Besides, when they get drunk, they would not be able to have a proper conversation.

They might as well just have a few drinks so that everyone could be comfortable and have a good chat, to get to know each other even better.

If you get dead drunk and did not even have a chat, and even added trouble for your daughter…

This was not like the first time when Han Zhuoling first went to visit them; that was to test Han Zhuoling.

One could judge a person’s character from the way they drink, if they drink more when the other drinks more.

As the saying goes, in vino veritas. When meeting for the first time, this was the fastest way to get to know each other.

Although in the end, it was actually Shi Guanzhong who turned into a drunken mess.

So this time, Du Yiqin earnestly exhorted him and Shi Nancang not to drink so much. Wouldn’t it be good if everyone could have a good chat?

So this time, even though Shi Guanzhong and Shi Nancang brought wine over, they did not drink a lot with Han Zhuoling.

Shi Guanzhong noticed that Han Zhuoling and Shi Xiaoya had a wine cabinet at home, and there are some red wines and whiskeys placed inside.

But they were all sealed, so it looked like the two of them did not have the habit of drinking usually either.

That was good.

At this moment, they all had glasses of red wine before them, filled just a little bit.

As they were chatting, they would occasionally toast each other and sip on their wine, so it was quite comfortable.

Han Zhuoling took a small sip of wine, tasted it, and then said, “Mom, have you brought the photos over?”

“Oh, yes!” Du Yiqin immediately stood up and said, “Look how forgetful I am. I brought it but forgot to take it out. Wait a moment.” Du Yiqin went to the living room and took out three thick photo albums from her bag.

When Shi Guanzhong and Shi Nancang saw that, they thought to themselves, No wonder she brought such a big bag over today.

Shi Xiaoya did not recall what she said to Han Zhuoling last night for a moment, that she was going to show him her photographs, and asked, “What photos?”

Du Yiqin handed the photo albums over to Han Zhuoling as she said, “Zhuoling wanted to see your childhood photos, so he specially called me early this morning to ask me to bring them over.”

Shi Xiaoya: “…”

She was thinking that when she went back home to visit with Han Zhuoling next time, she could just pass them to him to have a look.

Who knew he actually could not wait and just asked Du Yiqin to bring them over?

Han Zhuoling took the photo albums and heard Du Yiqin say, “These three are all Xiaoya’s, there’s no one else in there. These are just part of it. For every stage of her life, I took many photos of her, so I just picked three albums out of them all, from kindergarten to senior high.”

Although there was nothing to hide in her childhood photos, she was not mentally prepared yet. Suddenly letting Han Zhuoling see her silly look when she was young made Shi Xiaoya feel especially embarrassed.

Han Zhuoling opened the topmost photo album.
