The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 252 First Arrival

Chapter 252 First Arrival

"Since you've just arrived at my house today, I'll cook for you myself tonight as a welcome gesture."

"Really?" Young Master Xu's eyes widened. He had already heard that the chefs at New Moon Restaurant were all personally trained by Chen Feng, which was why they could make such delicious food. As the owner, Chen Feng's skills should only be even better.

Now, their eyes lit up when they heard that Chen Feng was going to cook.

“Of course.” Chen Feng then looked at He Fei and said, “Fei’er, why don’t you stay and eat with us too?”

Considering that it had been a while since she had tasted Chen Feng's cooking, He Fei nodded without hesitation.

A smug smile played on Chen Feng's lips. Actually, the main reason he offered to cook was to get He Fei to stay; welcoming Young Master Xu was just a side effect.

The naive young master Xu was unaware of all this; he simply sighed inwardly, thinking how kind Chen Feng was to personally cook for him as a welcome gift, and he was even more eager to learn more about Chen Feng's culinary skills.

Chen Feng chatted with He Fei for a few more minutes before leaving to cook.

An hour later, looking at the dishes laid out on the stone table, Young Master Xu swallowed hard. The smell was delicious, and the taste would probably be even better.

After greeting Chen Feng, Young Master Xu couldn't wait to start eating. He Fei noticed something and, while savoring her food, asked, "Wasn't this to welcome Young Master Xu? Why are there so many of my favorite dishes?"

Chen Feng leaned close to He Fei's ear and said, "I don't know what Young Master Xu's tastes are, so I'll just treat you as my guest."

He Fei: "..." Although she didn't know what the connection was between the two things, she realized that Chen Feng was doing it for her. Her face turned red again, and she lowered her head to pick at the food. At the same time, she said fiercely to Chen Feng, "You have to eat properly when you eat, and you're not allowed to talk."

Chen Feng chuckled, "Okay."

After dinner, to avoid disturbing the two, Young Master Xu left after speaking with Chen Feng. Chen Feng kept talking to He Fei until evening, and before they knew it, it was getting dark. Only then did He Fei realize that it was getting late, and she said, "I have to go back."

She hasn't gone home yet this late; I wonder how worried He Yi must be.

Chen Feng stopped He Fei and said, "It's already dark. Why don't you go back tomorrow?"

"No way." He Fei glared at Chen Feng.

Helpless, Chen Feng had no choice but to compromise and say, "Then wait a moment, I'll personally take you back."

He Fei hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.

Along the way, Chen Feng ignored He Fei's resistance and held He Fei's hand the whole time. When they were halfway there, they ran into He Yi. He Yi was relieved to see He Fei. He Yi had been worried that something had happened to He Fei, but after asking the waiter at Xinyuelou, he learned that He Fei had gone to Chen Feng's house.

Chen Feng handed He Fei over to He Yi before reluctantly returning home.

……

Young Master Xu thought that after following Chen Feng, all he had to do was learn a few things from Chen Feng and spend the rest of his time enjoying himself and having fun. However, he never expected that the very next day, while he was having a sweet dream, he would be woken up from his bed by Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing? I haven't had enough rest yet, why are you waking me up?" Young Master Xu glared at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu scratched his head and said, "Young Master, it was Boss Chen who instructed me to wake you up."

Although Young Master Xu was very unhappy that Xiao Wu had woken him from his sweet dream, he had no choice but to get up, no matter how unwilling he was. After all, he knew in his heart that his father had sent him to learn from Chen Feng, not to play.

"Chen Feng," Xu Xuan said, forcing a smile, "I heard from Xiao Wu that you were looking for me."

“Yes.” Chen Feng said with a smile on his face, “Why don’t you learn some simple moves with me first?”

"Huh?" Xu Xuan didn't react at first, but Chen Feng continued, "Since Master Chen has already told me this before, I will naturally not let Master Xu down."

If he were at home, Xu Xuan would definitely go back to his room to rest without a second thought. But looking at the smile on Chen Feng's face, Xu Xuan's intuition told him that if he went back to his room to sleep as he did at home, the consequences would not be what he wanted.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Chen Feng's eyes. He called over one of his subordinates, tossed a book to Xu Xuan, and said, "Practice according to the book. He will demonstrate for you if you don't understand something."

From then on, whenever Xu Xuan was so tired that he couldn't take it anymore and the thought of resting arose in his mind, he would see Chen Feng's smile. For some reason, he didn't even dare to flinch and continued to train.

When the morning finally ended, Xu Xuan lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.

Thinking of the smile on Chen Feng's face just now, and then thinking of the enjoyment and ease he thought he had, Xu Xuan's fantasy was somewhat shattered. This was even more torturous than being at home.

Xiao Wu watched Xu Xuan from the side. Although he felt sorry for his young master, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming, Xu Xuan had been called away by Master Xu and given special instructions. So Xu Xuan did not know that his loyal Xiao Wu was actually a "spy" arranged by his father.

Xu Xuan thought this day would be the only one, but every day that followed was no easier than this one. Whenever Xu Xuan wanted to hang out with his old cronies, Chen Feng would inadvertently mention Old Master Xu, and Xu Xuan's thoughts would immediately vanish.

Xu Xuan was on the verge of tears. He would rather go back and continue to be locked up by Master Xu. Before, when he was in the manor, although he was also under Master Xu's pressure and had to memorize and study every day, none of the servants dared to make things difficult for him. When Master Xu was not around, he could openly slack off. But with Chen Feng, none of that was allowed. Without Chen Feng saying a word, just one look from Chen Feng was enough to stop Xu Xuan from even having the thought of slacking off.

Fortunately, he only needed to practice in the morning each day, and Xu Xuan would accompany Chen Feng when he went to handle matters at the restaurant in the afternoon.

Even Xu Xuan himself didn't realize that these days, he not only didn't harbor resentment towards Chen Feng's torment, but instead developed more trust in Chen Feng and a level of admiration that he himself didn't even notice.

On the way back from Crescent Moon Tower that day, Xu Xuan kept trying to persuade Chen Feng to let him go out for a stroll.

Chen Feng looked at Xu Xuan with some confusion. Although he had been a bit strict with Xu Xuan these days because of Master Xu, he had not restricted Xu Xuan's movements, as long as Xu Xuan did not go to those bad places.

Seeing the meaning in Chen Feng's eyes, Xu Xuan felt embarrassed; he had almost mistaken Chen Feng for his father.

However, Xu Xuan's embarrassment didn't last long, as his and Chen Feng's path was blocked.

"Oh, what a coincidence...Young Master Chen."
