"Xia An, why are you here..."

Xia An is not married to Zhen Qiliai yet, and the wedding time has not been set yet. In essence, he is a guest.

It is somewhat inappropriate to allow guests to come into the kitchen and help with cooking.

But Xia An didn't care so much. She turned around and picked up the apron on the cupboard and tied it on herself with ease.

Xia An looked a little serious and said in a deep voice: "The sister in the living room is a bit lonely in school."

"Sister Li'ai is the only one we know well here... If sister Li'ai is not here, I'm afraid she will be very uncomfortable."

After hearing what Xia An said, Maki Yoko nodded slightly.

"So that's it... Xia An was thoughtful."

Xia An smiled slightly, walked to the sink next to Maki Yoko, and washed the vegetables.

While washing the vegetables, Xia An was also thinking about the meaning of Zhen Qili's actions.

No matter how I think about it, it feels wrong, or inappropriate.

Although Kinoshita Asuka has no one she can talk to in school, but what if...if she accidentally leaks it, it will be troublesome.

"Oh, I still have to wait until later to ask Sister Li Ai." Xia An thought to herself.

With his help, Yoko Maki cooks much faster.

Xia An has been a man for two generations. For him, cooking is something that comes easily. It is almost engraved in his genes.

It took less than an hour for Yoko Maki and Xia An to work together to create a table full of delicious food.

Although it can't be compared with those hotel chefs, if compared to normal people's homes, it is definitely considered superior.

In addition to the good cooking skills of Maki Yoko and Xia An, more importantly, the ingredients are also very fresh and perfect.

"It's so fast. According to past experience, even if you have Li Ai to help me, it will take at least two hours to complete such a table..."

"Today it's just Xia An who helps you cook, why is it so much faster?"

"And this table looks very good." Zhen Qi Zhicheng's eyes lit up.

A large part of the reason for his surprise was that Xia An prepared several Chinese dishes.

Although this also happens in Japan, it is not common.

Maki Yoko served everyone food: "It's not because you, father and daughter, are not good at cooking."

"Look at the dishes Xia An has made. They are all delicious and delicious. You can tell he is a veteran in the kitchen."

Zhenqi Liai and Zhenqi Zhicheng glanced at the dishes that had never appeared on their own dining tables, and they all nodded in unison.

"Isn't that just right?"

"When Xia An and Li Ai get married, Xia An will help you cook for your wife every day."

Xia An took the small bowl handed over by Zhen Qiliai, which was filled with rice.

He sat on the left side of Makiri Ai, while Asuka Kinoshita sat on her right side.

The two were perfectly separated by Makiri Ai.

"Let's eat, let me try Xia An's cooking skills."

Zhen Qi Zhicheng was the first to move his chopsticks, picking up Xia An's stir-fried twice-cooked pork.

Others are also moving toward different goals.

The cuisine made by Xia An is very different from the island country’s cuisine.

It was easy to tell, so except for Xia An, the other four people tasted Xia An's cooking accurately.

"Hmm...it's really delicious." Makiki Liai praised.

“Medium salty and sweet, light taste…”

Zhenqi Zhicheng and Zhenqi Liai tasted every dish Xia An cooked in one go.

Even Kinoshita Asuka, whose family owns a restaurant, couldn't help but bring in a few more chopsticks.

But after tasting the food, it was naturally time to get down to business.

Zhenqi Zhicheng raised his eyes and glanced at Xia An and Zhenqi Liai.

Daughter Zhenqiliai brings food to Xia An from time to time.

This made him very relieved.

But Xia An, this kid, always lowered his head and picked at the rice, and didn't seem to notice Zhen Qili's behavior at all.

This made Zhen Qi Zhicheng a little confused.

"Ahem." Zhenqi Zhicheng coughed, and the deliberate coughing attracted Xia An's attention.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Xia An raised his head and looked at Zhen Qi Zhicheng doubtfully.

Zhen Qi Zhicheng looked a little more serious: "Do you still remember our agreement when you took wedding photos last week?"

At this time, Zhen Qiliai's cheeks were flushed, and her shy appearance made her look particularly warm.

Xia An's heart trembled, what was supposed to come had come.

"Of course I remember..."

The agreement spoken by Zhen Qi Zhicheng was naturally to determine the wedding date of Xia An and Zhen Qi Liai.

Only by confirming the wedding date can Zhen Qi Zhicheng feel more at ease.

"And what are your thoughts?"

"Yoko and I are both relatively open-minded people and respect the ideas of you young people."

"But the wedding date must be determined, whether it is a few months later, a year, or longer."

"I hope you can give me a more detailed date." Zhenqi Zhicheng said.

Kinoshita Asuka, who originally planned to eat quietly, was instantly dumbfounded.

But fortunately, Zhenqi Zhicheng and Zhenqi Yoko focused their attention on Xia An and Zhenqi Liai, and did not pay attention to her.

Wedding photos?Wedding date?

Xia An and Teacher Zhenqi made such rapid progress.

But Xia An is obviously not yet an adult... The law of the island country stipulates that it takes at least two years to get married. In other words, it will take at least two years...

Zhen Qi Li loved hearing Zhen Qi Zhicheng mention her and didn't know how to speak.

She stole a glance at Xia An, then quickly looked away, pretending to continue eating as if nothing had happened.

However, Zhenqi Zhicheng did not ignore the two people's small actions.

He glanced at the two of them with a smile on his face and said, "What? Are you still shy?"

Chapter 159 Unexpected Acceptance

Hearing this, Xia An twitched the corner of his mouth dryly: "How can there be..."

How could he be shy?

It was because he and Sister Li Ai had never discussed the wedding date at all.

At this moment, he didn't know how to reply to Zhen Qi Zhicheng.

"Then you two are still coy and flirting."

"Tell me the truth, have you two discussed this?"

"To be honest, I don't blame you. Marriage shouldn't be hasty in the first place."

"Let's discuss it together and it's safer." Zhen Qi Zhicheng said seriously.

Xia An coughed awkwardly and said, "This... this..."

"Huh?" Zhen Qi Zhicheng stared at him, as if he had guessed something.

"Dad, actually Xia An and I both feel that there is no need to be in such a rush to get married right now..." Zhen Qili responded bravely.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't say I wanted you to get married immediately." Zhen Qi Zhicheng smiled.

"Anyway, you and Xia An are still young, so I'm not in a hurry."

"Your mother and I just want to have some peace of mind."

"Determine the date so that we can make preparations for you and the young couple in advance." Zhenqi Zhicheng explained.

Xia An: "..."

Zhenqi Liai: "..."

Zhenqi Zhicheng's words are impeccable.

Even with Xia An's mind, she couldn't think of how to respond.

"It doesn't matter if you're not sure, just give a rough idea."

Zhen Qi Zhicheng had a smile on his face, but that smile revealed obvious pressure.

Xia An took a deep breath and looked up at Zhen Qi Zhicheng: "About... about two years from now... Mainly because of work reasons, I want to work hard in the workplace."

After Xia An finished speaking, Zhen Qi Zhicheng frowned.

Even Xia An himself regretted what he just said.

The island nation is no different from China. The workplace here emphasizes first come, first served.

If the seniors remain on the job, there will be no room for advancement for newcomers.

In other words, what Xia An said about working hard in the workplace was simply because he couldn't think of an excuse to fool Zhenqi and his wife...

Zhen Qi Zhicheng looked serious, and the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became solemn.

Zhenqi Liai opened her mouth, and when she was about to defend Xia An, Zhenqi Zhicheng laughed.

"Hahaha, two years later, although it's a bit long, it's still acceptable."

"Look at how nervous you are, you don't think I'll be angry, do you?" Zhen Qi Zhicheng said with a smile.

This really shocked Xia An and Zhenqili Ai.

Even Kinoshita Asuka found it incredible.

Looking back on what Zhenqi Zhicheng said just now, although he didn't mean to force her, she was obviously anxious to get married.

How could I accept it so easily...

"Two years is neither a long time nor a short time."

"Besides, didn't Liai lead a class at school?"

"It just so happens that Li Ai sends those children out of school."

"It's quite suitable."

While Zhen Qi Zhicheng murmured to himself, he nodded from time to time.

He seemed very satisfied with the time Xia An said.

Xia An came back to his senses after hearing his words.

He also didn't expect that Zhen Qi Zhicheng would agree to it two years after he said it casually.

My father-in-law, this is too easy to talk to.

Xia An quickly continued: "Yes, it is mainly because of the aspect of Sister Li Ai leading the class."

"If I marry Sister Li Ai before those students graduate, it is inevitable that some students will be delayed due to trivial matters."

"Sometimes it's hard to balance family and career. I'm okay with that. As a teacher, Sister Liai has a hard time handling this aspect."

Zhenqi Zhicheng nodded slightly and turned to look at Zhenqi Yoko: "Wife, what do you think?"

"We, as a couple, can afford to wait for two years, right?"

Maki Yoko looked indifferent and responded: "As long as you think there is no problem, you still have the final say in this family."

"No way...Honey, your opinion is also important."
