Chapter 467: This Luck, This Fortune, Is Simply Incredible (4)

Shen Nian spoke, but her hands never stopped moving as she deftly prepared to scoop the freshly stir-fried dish out of the wok.

Instead of leaving as Shen Nian had suggested, Lu Cheng stayed by her side, picked up a plate, and handed it to her.

"Don’t worry about them. I’ll help you."

"Is that really okay?"

’But... everyone out there is a guest. Is it really okay for both of us, the hosts, to be in the kitchen?’

"Relax, it’s fine. What are we stir-frying next?"

Hearing Lu Cheng say that, Shen Nian stopped worrying. If he said it was fine, then it must truly be fine.

"Hmm, let’s do the greens."

"Alright, I’ll grab them for you."

Working in perfect sync, Shen Nian and Lu Cheng quickly finished the last two dishes.

As she and Lu Cheng walked out of the kitchen with the finished dishes, Shen Nian saw the scene in the living room and finally understood what he had meant by "it’s fine."

The group outside didn’t need any hosting at all. They had all seated themselves at the table and had even taken out and poured the drinks Shen Nian had prepared in advance.

’Guests who make themselves this at home hardly need a host to entertain them!’

Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying were already seated next to their husbands. The entire table was full, leaving just two adjacent seats open for Lu Cheng and Shen Nian.

"Here, here! Let’s welcome our hosts for the evening! Lu Cheng’s wife, we’re really in for a treat today! You’re just too amazing!"

Although Zhang Yuanjun was a department head and usually carried himself with a stern air, this wasn’t the training ground. It was just a small, private dinner, so he was mingling freely with everyone.

And seeing that the others weren’t the least bit surprised, Shen Nian knew this certainly wasn’t the first time he had acted this way.

"I can’t take all the credit. Sister Jingyun and Sister Yingzi have been here helping me the whole time!"

Seeing how relaxed everyone was, Shen Nian relaxed as well, and the little bit of nervousness she’d felt earlier unconsciously melted away.

’Lu Cheng’s colleagues seem even easier to get along with than I imagined!’

"Don’t say that, Xiao Nian! We just gave you a hand with the prep work. It doesn’t count as real help. We’re not about to fight you for the credit!"

"That’s right, that’s right. We won’t take the credit."

Hearing Shen Nian’s humble words, Lin Jingyun and Zhang Ying immediately piped up, insisting they wouldn’t dream of taking the credit from her.

"You’re all too kind. I’ve only just arrived, so I hope you’ll all look out for me from now on!"

"Lu Cheng’s wife is too modest! And Lu Cheng, man, you’ve really won at life!"

"I know, right? His wife is gorgeous and her cooking is this good? I’m dying of envy!"

"Yeah, this has been a wake-up call for me. When I go home on leave this time, I’m telling my family to get on it and find me a good wife too!"

After Shen Nian spoke, everyone at the table began to chime in, one after another. They either praised her directly or praised her indirectly by expressing their envy of Lu Cheng.

Just as Shen Nian, embarrassed by all the praise, could only manage a smile, Lu Cheng, who was sitting beside her, nodded at the people who had just spoken.

"Mm. Thank you for the compliments. My wife is just that amazing."

"..."

Shen Nian shot Lu Cheng a helpless look. ’He’s getting so full of himself! In a situation like this, shouldn’t he be a little humble? How come when it’s his turn, it turns into such blatant showing off?’

’Can Lu Cheng really be this childish?’

But then again, Shen Nian didn’t know what Lu Cheng had said to the Second Group Leader before. If she had, she probably wouldn’t be so surprised right now.
