"Eat this as well," Mu Chenyan clipped some vegetables and placed them into Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai's bowls respectively. She was still that loving and kind aunt who just wanted to feed these two.

Everyone at the table was already quite used to Mu Chenyan's enthusiasm on a dining table. No matter who sat on the dining table, if Mu Chenyan was there, she'd be more than happy to see you eat.

She even peeled the prawns for the siblings attentively.

"Aunt, you should not do it," said Xiang Weimin a bit unnaturally. He was by no means used to this much attention on himself while he was eating. He grew up with his dad in the barracks. Most of his meals were eaten in the mess. This much attention was never needed between soldiers.

"I can peel it myself," even Xiang Wai added to that. She was also a little uneasy when she noticed how Mu Chenyan had been only paying attention to them while not eating anything herself. "You should eat as well."

Mu Chenyan's heart was touched when she heard those words. Oh, her niece was caring about her. How touching! No matter how much her Elle was amazing, she had never said such words to her.

"Let her be," Grandfather Xiang spoke up. "Chenyan is already full."

Mu Chenyan nodded her head, "Yes, yes. Seeing you eat so heartily is enough to make me full."

"No, aunt should still eat," said Xiang Weimin.

Zhai Yanjun tsked and said, "Uncle Shing, it's just me or it's weird to hear someone calling her aunt?"

"No, I'm feeling the same way," replied Shui Koshing who had really come to join them for dinner. It couldn't be helped. He was more than happy to have some company.

Zhai Yanjun looked at Mu Chenyan, "By the way, I'm very curious. How old are you? I can't tell from just looking at you."

Of course, he couldn't tell from just looking at her. Mu Chenyan had always had a healthy lifestyle. She worked out regularly, ate only healthy meals. She even took special care of her skin. She had to take extra care of herself because she didn't want to die at the age of 60 or 70. She had to outlive that age so that she could accompany her Elle for a little longer. How could she leave her alone in this world?

Yue gave her nephew a displeased look before using the text-to-speech function to let him know, 'It's not nice to ask a woman her age.'

Zhai Yanjun immediately became sheepish, "Sorry."

Mu Chenyan waved him off, "I don't mind you asking my age though. It just proves that my looks are really deceiving." She gave off a proud look as she said that. With her looks, adding on her cheerful personality, it was truly hard to tell her age. It was only with Raelle that she gave off a mature air and seemed like a gentle and refined woman which she obviously was not.

"I'm also curious why you feel so happy feeding people?" asked Zhai Yanjun. "Weimin Ge, you shouldn't feel bothered by this. Apart from me, your dear aunt loves to feed everyone."

"The food is in front of you, when did I snatch it from you?" retorted Mu Chenyan.

"That's different," said Zhai Yanjun. "I won't dare compare myself to Raelle or Fai but even when Fai's friends came over for the first time, you so actively served them. While when I came, you ran after me with that rolling pin of yours."

Mu Chenyan slapped her chopsticks on the table and gave him a menacing look, "And do you need me to remind you why I did that?"

Zhai Yanjun cleared his throat, "No, I don't. That's not my real complaint. My real complaint is that you're too partial."

"Why should I serve you when you have an exclusive server?" Mu Chenyan pointed at Yue who was eating elegantly in silence minding her own business as if none of this had anything to do with her.

Yue clicked a piece of meat and placed it into Zhai Yanjun's bowl while she patted his head and mouthed, 'Eat more!'

Mu Chenayn looked at that and sighed, "See? She doesn't even do that for her own son but you're clearly different."

Yue looked at her and mouthed, 'Do you give me a chance to do something for my son?'

Mu Chenyan chose to play dumb as if she didn't understand what she meant at all. So what if she doted on her little Fai a little more? Didn't he deserve that? Yes, he did! He was so cute how could she not love him a little more and dote on him a little more?

"Let's just eat in silence," said Grandfather Xiang. "Chenyan, focus on eating. Don't just pay attention to them."

Mu Chenyan lowered her head, 'Oh.' She silently took her chopsticks and started to eat. But her attention was still not fully on eating.

After the meal, she looked at Zhai Yanjun and said, "Errand boy, do you know how to make tea?"

Zhai Yanjun frowned but still nodded. He might not know how to cook but tea was definitely something he knew how to make.

"Then clear up the table, wash the dishes, and make some tea. Bring it to the lounge when you're done," instructed Mu Chenyan. Seeing how Yue was about to step forward to help him, she held her arm, "You stay here. He is a big boy. I'm sure he can do this much on his own. Right, Yanjun?"

'Even if I don't know, I don't dare say it before you.' Those were his thoughts that he didn't dare voice out and only smiled at her. "I'll do it. I can definitely do it."

Yue glared at Mu Chenyan who shrugged, "Don't baby him. He is not that fragile."

'You are saying that who had been babying Raelle and Fai even until now?'

Mu Chenyan cleared her throat, "Those two are babies. And my little Fai is fragile.. Don't forget that."
