Xu Mengyao arrived at the wine cellar quickly.
This wine cellar had eight temperature-controlled wine cabinets. Each one held quite a few fine wines, with any single bottle valued at over ten thousand.
Ordinary Maotai and such weren't stored in here.
Xu Mengyao opened cabinet number one.
The wines in cabinet number one were the best and most expensive, all being rare treasures. Any bottle was worth no less than a hundred thousand. Some of the wines were hard to come by, and Xu Guofeng himself was reluctant to drink them.
Xu Mengyao didn't understand wine, so she just grabbed a bottle randomly.
"Lin Chen, I'm only giving you one bottle. Although you can drink, don't drink too much. Drinking too much is bad for your health."
"I'll give you a few more bottles when you and Xixi go back tomorrow."
Lin Chen chuckled, "I'll just have a little, mostly I want to taste the flavor of my father-in-law's wine."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"There's no need to bring me wine tomorrow. I don't usually drink, and it's not convenient to drink with Xixi."
Xu Mengyao said, "I'll go over occasionally. When I go, I can bring Xixi, and you can have a drink when you want."
"It's hard work taking care of a child."
"You can relax with a drink."
Lin Chen: "I don't find it hard to take care of Little Xixi."
He could gain improvements by teaching Lin Xixi things. That feeling of growing stronger was fascinating. He enjoyed the process; how could he feel it was hard work?
For example, learning a foreign language. Remember how difficult English used to be?
Now, after teaching Xixi English for three hours, she can proficiently master a foreign language. This is fantastic!
He has already proficiently mastered over a dozen foreign languages!
"Hehe, Daddy, I'm a good girl, right?"
Xixi said happily after hearing Lin Chen's words.
"Mmhmm."
"Our Xixi is the best."
Lin Chen kissed Xixi and said with a chuckle.
Xu Mengyao opened the bottle of wine, taking out two glasses, one large and one small.
"Lin Chen, I'll drink a little with you."
Xu Mengyao filled both glasses.
As the wine poured out, a rich aroma filled the air.
Lin Chen's eyes revealed surprise. He wasn't much of a drinker, but the aroma alone made him want to taste it.
This wine was probably extraordinary.
"Lin Chen, thank you for taking such good care of Xixi."
Xu Mengyao raised her glass.
Lin Chen looked at Lin Xixi: "Xixi, isn't Mommy wrong?"
Lin Xixi nodded her little head: "Mommy, you have to call him Daddy."
Xu Mengyao glanced at Lin Xixi.
This little... the little short-sleeved top is too revealing.
"Honey, thank you."
Xu Mengyao didn't hesitate much and called out.
She had already called him that many times, and she was somewhat used to it now.
Lin Chen raised his glass: "Wife, the way you address me is one thing, but on the other hand, we're a family. You thanking me for taking care of Xixi is a little off."
"Don't you agree, Xixi?"
Xixi nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
Xu Mengyao said, "Anyway, you know what I mean. I didn't take care of Xixi as well as you do."
Lin Chen clinked glasses with Xu Mengyao and said, "Just take a small sip. Let's not clink glasses at home."
"Okay."
They both took a small sip.
"Eh——"
Xu Mengyao looked surprised while eating the dishes.
She felt that the dishes today were more delicious than before.
"Lin Chen, I feel that the dishes today are even more delicious. Is it just my imagination? Or is it that the kitchenware makes the dishes taste better?"
Xu Mengyao asked with a puzzled expression.
Lin Chen chuckled, "You can tell?"
Xu Mengyao nodded, "Of course I can tell. Today's dishes have a noticeable improvement compared to before."
"Daddy, it's more delicious." "Even better than the ones at noon."
Lin Xixi also voiced her opinion.
Lin Chen had a faint smile on his face. When he cleaned the kitchen at noon, his cooking skills had improved to Legendary Level!
From the Top Grandmaster level to Legendary Level, there's a qualitative change, and indeed, the taste will noticeably improve.
"Mengyao, it's just that the cooking utensils are a bit more expensive, so the taste is much better. You're overthinking it. It's just that my cooking skills have improved again," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Throughout history, both in China and abroad, the most top-tier chefs could only reach the Top Grandmaster level. This was the limit of human ability, but with the system's assistance, he had now surpassed that limit.
"Lin Chen, you—"
Xu Mengyao didn't know what to say.
Lin Chen was too talented. In such a short time, Lin Chen's cooking skills had continuously improved to such a terrifying level.
"Try the other dishes."
Lin Chen smiled slightly.
Xu Mengyao tasted the other dishes, and they were all even more delicious.
"Lin Chen, with the same ingredients, why does yours taste so good, while mine... well, it's hard to describe."
Xu Mengyao said.
Xixi said, "Mom, yours is edible too!"
Xu Mengyao said, exasperated, "Xixi, thank you for the consolation!"
"You're welcome, Mom."
Xixi said in a milky voice.
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"This is probably the difference between a top student and a bottom student. Explaining it to you, a little bottom student, probably wouldn't do any good."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"Beep beep!"
Lin Chen and the others were almost finished eating when Xu Mengyao's phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was a video call from her mother.
Xu Mengyao thought for a moment and answered the video call.
Anyway, her parents knew Lin Chen was here.
"Grandma."
Lin Xixi saw Yang Qingyue and called out sweetly.
"Xixi, what are you doing?"
Lin Xixi: "Grandma, I'm eating, Dad made it, Dad's food is so delicious."
Yang Qingyue swallowed her saliva.
She also missed the food Lin Chen made.
Xu Guofeng had tried his best to find her excellent chefs, but what they made couldn't compare to Lin Chen's.
"Mengyao, where's Lin Chen?"
Yang Qingyue asked.
Xu Mengyao turned her phone's camera toward Lin Chen, and Lin Chen greeted, "Aunt Yang, are you feeling better?"
"Yes, I am."
"Oh… Mengyao treats you quite well. She even took out the best bottle of wine her dad has to give you." Yang Qingyue chuckled.
Xu Mengyao said, "Mom, I just grabbed one randomly. I took the one on the outside."
Yang Qingyue happily said, "The last time your dad took this bottle out, he didn't have the heart to drink it, so he put it away again."
"It's good that you gave it to Lin Chen to drink. He wouldn't drink it himself, but he would be willing to let Lin Chen have it."
Xu Mengyao said coquettishly, "Mom, what are you talking about? Why did you call so early, do you need something?"
Yang Qingyue: "Lin Chen, your mother's birthday is coming up, isn't it?"
"I plan to buy her a birthday present. If you're going back, you can take the gift with you."
"If you're not going back, I'll just mail it to your house."
Lin Chen said, "My mom's birthday is the week after next. They're building a house at home, so I'm not planning to go back for the time being."
He would definitely have to take Xixi with him if he went back to his hometown, and things were a mess at home right now, so it would be very inconvenient to bring Xixi back.
Yang Qingyue nodded: "Then I'll just mail it to your hometown. What's your mother's phone number? Send it to me, I need it to fill in the recipient's phone number."
"Mengyao, you prepare a birthday present too."
Xixi raised her little hand: "Grandma, me too. I want to prepare a birthday present for Grandma too."
Yang Qingyue said happily, "Alright, and Xixi too."
Xu Mengyao's face was slightly flushed.
Were their parents going to meet?
