Yan Wei: Confession

Xia Yu felt that if he just gave the sheet music to An Siyao or talked to her privately, it would lack a bit of feeling. Although An Siyao might not mind, he minded very much. The most important thing in life is to satisfy oneself.

Temporarily putting aside this matter, Xia Yu continued to perfect the last piece of music. At eleven o'clock in the night, he finished the piece, yawned, and nodded in satisfaction.

He went back to his bedroom, lay on the bed, and opened the game slots. He had a total of five slots, separately occupied by An Siyao, Xu Youxiang, Tina, Brown Bear, and Wen Ziyin. In addition, he still had an unclaimed reward, which could give him an empty slot.

There was no rush for this, as there was no body to save for now. After visiting Xu Youxiang's slot, Xia Yu went to continue teaching her. Xu Youxiang's mood had been very good recently, perhaps due to her progress in skills or Xia Yu's previous visit.

The next evening, Xia Yu dressed in a suit, and Yuxue wore a formal dress, both arriving at Yan's villa. The first people to greet them at the entrance were ordinary servants, and then at the main entrance, a middle-aged butler greeted them.

He enthusiastically shook Xia Yu's hand: "Thank you for coming." "Wishing Madam Yan blessings like the East Sea," Xia Yu said with an equally enthusiastic expression, as though they were long-lost friends. In fact, they didn't even know each other's names.

Xia Yu handed the prepared gift to the butler, which was an ordinary jade Buddha. He came here for three reasons: one-third was curiosity about Yan Baiyu's appearance, one-third was to see if he could taste a different kind of white jade dumpling, and one-third was a favor for Yan Wei.

Inside the wide hall were various kinds of snacks, all exquisitely and cutely made. Xia Yu quickly found the white jade dumplings among them. He picked up two dumplings, gave one to Yuxue and tasted the other one.

Xia Yu nodded. This white jade dumpling tasted better than the one he had eaten at An Siyao's house. The pastry chef at the An family's house was already at the master level, so it was impossible for Yan Baiyu to have made these dumplings herself. Therefore, the chef who made them was most likely at the same level as An's pastry chef.

With similar skill levels, there was a noticeable difference in the famous white jade dumplings, which was thought-provoking. Indeed, the Yan family had kept a trick in their white jade dumpling craftsmanship. The main secret should be in the filling.

Xia Yu couldn't help but feel itching inside, thinking about whether he could steal the secret. The idea disappeared almost as soon as it entered his mind. Firstly, it was immoral to do so, and secondly, he wasn't a pastry chef, so even if he was shown the recipe openly, he wouldn't understand it.

Having tasted the white jade dumplings, Xia Yu tried some other pastries. Yuxue ate a few, feeling satisfied, and looked around before checking her phone for messages.

Five minutes later, Yan Li appeared in front of the two. The girls grabbed each other's hands, feeling happy about their reunion. "Where are your parents?" Xia Yu asked, thinking of going over to say hello.

"They are in the room upstairs and didn't come down." Yan Li picked up some snacks and ate, "They wouldn't come to this kind of occasion. If it weren't for my sister, I couldn't come either!"

Xia Yu thought that if he were Yan Wei's parents, he wouldn't come to this place either. It would be very awkward for people of different social classes to get along, especially since Yan Wei's parents were close relatives of Yan Baiyu.

"Where is Sister Weiwei?" Yuxue asked again.

"She should be with her second grandparents. We don't need to worry about her. Come on, let me show you around." Yan Li took Yuxue away.

Xia Yu picked up a glass of juice and leaned against the wall, sipping it.

Ten minutes later, the birthday star made her official appearance.

She was an elderly lady with white hair, but very spirited. Next to the old lady was a half-white-haired, bearded old man, Yan Baiyu.

The old lady's expression was gentle, and Yan Baiyu's was serious.

Behind the two of them were Yan Wei and another man in his twenties.

The man was Yan Baiyu's grandson.

Upon entering the hall, Yan Wei looked around, seemingly searching for something.

Not finding it in one sweep, her expression grew more anxious and she began to scan the room a second time.

Knowing that she was looking for him, Xia Yu moved to a more conspicuous spot.

Seeing him, Yan Wei smiled.

Xia Yu smiled back.

Their actions were noticed by Yan Baiyu standing nearby. Frowning, he asked, "What's your relationship with her?"

"Ordinary friends." Thinking of their relationship, Yan Wei felt a bit sad.

"A good chef only needs a pot, nothing else," Yan Baiyu lectured Yan Wei.

In the next moment, however, he was reprimanded by the old lady.

"Then, are you going to sleep with a pot tonight?" The old lady looked at Yan Baiyu.

Yan Baiyu coughed, "I was exaggerating to make Weiwei focus."

"But I remember when you were her age, you seemed to be already juggling three relationships?" The old lady exposed Yan Baiyu's past.

"I was young and reckless back then, and I took the wrong path. That's why I can't let Weiwei make the same mistakes, right?" Yan Baiyu defended himself.

Seeing that the old lady stopped talking, Yan Baiyu looked at Yan Wei again, "Focus on the kitchen tools in your hands and don't be distracted by those messy things!"

The old lady gave Yan Baiyu a white look and pulled Yan Wei over, "Don't listen to your grandfather. He had enough fun when he was young, and now he can't do it anymore, so he's lecturing you not to play. This isn't only allowing him to start a fire but not letting you light a lamp!"

"Hey, you better explain who can't do it now!" Yan Baiyu got anxious, "You wait for tonight!"

Ignoring Yan Baiyu's rant, the old lady inquired about Xia Yu's situation.

Upon learning that Xia Yu was a top scholar in Su Province, a well-known violinist, and guzheng player, the old lady repeatedly praised him.

She took Yan Wei's phone and studied Xia Yu's photo, becoming more satisfied.

"But there's a problem." Yan Wei's face showed a bitter expression and she honestly said, "He already has a girlfriend."

She thought that her second grandparents would scold her, but to her surprise, the two elders only showed slight surprise.

He Yan and Bai Yu looked at each other, and Old Lady Yan's face was somewhat solemn: "Are you sure you want him?"

Blinking her eyes, Yan Wei nodded her head.

Old Lady Yan showed a smile: "Back then, your grandfather stepped on three boats, and not one of them was me. I came from the side and toppled all three boats."

Hearing that her grandmother was actually a senior with rich experience, Yan Wei hurriedly sought her advice.

Old Lady Yan knew everything and spared no detail.

Upon hearing that Xia Yu had always been fond of Bai Yu's rice balls, she made a decision: after the banquet was over, she would have Yan Baiyu cook in private and entertain Xia Yu.

Yan Wei thought that her grandmother was supporting her. However, Old Lady Yan was actually thinking of getting a closer look at Xia Yu's foundation.

As an outsider who had driven away the other three boats and made Yan Baiyu wholeheartedly step on her boat alone, Old Lady Yan was not a simple character.
