Chapter 1593: Chapter 1593: Disdain

Ouyang saw Mu Yan and stood up with a smile, "Didn’t I hear you were coming? I came here especially to see you. Wow, our Yanyan is getting prettier and prettier."

"Huh?" Mu Yan was taken aback. This compliment had fallen from the sky, leaving her a bit at a loss.

"Yesterday, the day before yesterday, and even the day before that, you also came. I wonder who you’re here to see this time." Sitting opposite was Zhuang Shaoyang, who snorted coldly, clearly not favoring Ouyang.

Ouyang looked at him and said, "Of course I’m here to see Zhenzhen, not you, obviously."

He suddenly shivered, as if he had goosebumps.

Zhuang Shaoyang glared at him. Even with years of experience in the business world, having met all sorts of people, he had never seen someone so shameless.

Mu Yan was amused by Ouyang’s bluntness and asked, "Uncle Ou, don’t you have to work?"

"I’m actually an external specialist working in Upper City, but I’ve already resigned and am preparing to return to Italy."

"Huh?" Mu Yan was a bit surprised, "So sudden?"

She glanced at Zhuang Shaoyang, seeing him staring this way, his expression somewhat relaxed, probably happy about a rival leaving.

"It’s not sudden. I was here for exchange and learning. Besides, now that your mom is preparing to return to Italy, I naturally won’t stay here." Ouyang explained.

Zhuang Shaoyang’s expression changed slightly. He suddenly looked towards the kitchen and said in a deep voice, "You’re leaving?"

Everyone looked at him and followed his gaze to see Kong Lizhen coming out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly made pancakes.

She looked at them, somewhat puzzled, "What’s going on?"

Her sight swept over Zhuang Shaoyang and finally landed on Mu Yan, "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah." Mu Yan nodded, her eyes landing on the plate in Kong Lizhen’s hand. She sniffed and asked, "Mom, what is this? Smells amazing."

"Sesame pancakes, with red bean filling, your favorite when you were a kid."

"Really?" Mu Yan said casually, looking at the freshly baked pancake, drooling.

"Alright, seeing how you’re drooling, go ahead and eat." Kong Lizhen smiled and handed her the chopsticks.

Mu Yan was so hungry that she didn’t bother with the chopsticks, grabbing the pancake with her hand and stuffing it into her mouth.

"Oh, hot!" Mu Yan quickly spit the pancake back into her hand.

"You’re such a big girl now, still so careless." Kong Lizhen looked at her with dissatisfaction.

Jiang Jingheng ran over, asking, "Did you burn yourself?"

Seeing him looking worried, Mu Yan realized she had done something silly and quickly said, "No."

Jiang Jingheng frowned, took a tissue to clean her hand, took the pancake from her hand, tested it with a bite to confirm it wasn’t hot, and then handed it back to her, "Not hot anymore, eat it."

"Okay." Mu Yan took the pancake, took a bite, and smiled, "Delicious."

"I’ll get you a glass of milk." Jiang Jingheng said as he headed to the kitchen.

Mu Yan was too busy eating the pancake to respond.

Kong Lizhen watched her carefree demeanor and shook her head, "I was worried before about you getting married, but now I wonder if the person you marry won’t find it too hard."

"Huh?" Mu Yan looked up at her, confused, with her cheeks puffed out, looking extremely childlike.

"Nothing, just eat." Kong Lizhen said, shaking her head and placing the plate on the living room coffee table.

Mu Yan shoved the rest of the pancake into her mouth and mumbled, "Mom, I want more."

Kong Lizhen gave her a disdainful look, handed her another pancake.

Mu Yan looked innocent. What was wrong? It’s just a pancake!
