Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

The next day, Lin Shu and Mother Lin got up early in the morning and prepared the ingredients. They simply cooked some pimple soup for breakfast, and then started to prepare the food and drinks. Because the main dishes were cooked slowly, they had to cook the food first. Food and drinks are ready.

In addition, Lin Shu also cooked yellow millet porridge and added some crab roe to it to increase the deliciousness of the porridge.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock at the door.

"Brother Chen, go and see if the guests are here." Lin Shu was sorting out the ingredients and said to Chen Laoer who had just returned from feeding the horses in the yard.

Chen Laoer opened the door and saw a man dressed similar to himself knocking on the door.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Su Yisu's house?" Mr. Zhou's servant asked.

"Yes, yes, please come in." Chen Laoer greeted enthusiastically.

"Master, the guests are here." Chen Laoer shouted to the yard.

The boy retreated behind a man in blue who looked to be about the same age as Su Yi. The man in blue strode inside holding a folding fan.

At this time, Su Yi heard Chen Laoer's shout and walked quickly towards the hall.

"Master Zhou."

"Master Su."

The two of them greeted each other as a greeting.

Mr. Zhou used a folding fan to signal the young man to come forward.

"Master Su, this is a little thought my mother asked me to take with me."

"We agreed that we were just going to meet each other and have a meal together. Why do you have to..." Su Yi looked at the gift box in the boy's hand and said helplessly.

"This is the first time I come to your house. It's not good to come empty-handed."

Chen Laoer took the box from Mr. Zhou's boy's hand and took the boy to the back room to rest.

"Sir, the meal is not ready yet, please have some snacks and fruits first." Lin Shu held the snacks, and Su Yuanyuan helped carry a piece of cut fruit and placed it on the table for guests.

Mr. Zhou put away his folding fan and bowed his hands to Lin Shu.

"Brother Su, this must be your lady! Nice to meet you."

"Shu'er, this is Master Zhou I told you about."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou! The reception in this humble house is not good. Please help yourself. We still need help in the kitchen, so I have to go over first." Lin Shu gave Mr. Zhou a half-crouching salute in return.

"Mrs. Su, you go and do your work first. Don't worry about me."

So Lin Shu nodded and smiled and went back to the kitchen.

Mr. Zhou pointed at Su Yi with a folding fan and said:

"Brother Su, you are a hidden treasure in a golden house! No wonder you are clamoring to go home to see your wife before your errands are over every day."

"Brother Zhou, don't make fun of me. Try these snacks. My wife heard that you were coming and made them herself."

After Mr. Zhou wiped his hands in the yard, he picked up a plum blossom-shaped snack and took a bite.

"Hmm~"

"Mrs. Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is amazing. No wonder Xuyang Pavilion became so famous in such a short period of time."

Before Su Yi had time to answer Mr. Zhou's words, Su Yuanyuan came up with another plate of yellow lotus-shaped snacks on her little arms and legs.

"Brother, my sister-in-law asked me to bring this plate of snacks to you."

Su Yi took the snack.

"Are there any other snacks?" Su Yi asked Su Yuanyuan.

At this time, Chen Laoer came in with a plate of snacks of different shapes in one hand.

"Master, the snacks are here. Master Lin said that you should greet the guests first, and no one can leave the kitchen now."

Master Zhou looked at several plates of dim sum with different colors and shapes, and took a bite from each plate.

"If Master Zhang and Master Xue don't come here, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat the snacks." Master Zhou joked to Su Yi.

"Brother Zhou, there are several big dishes today. It would not be worthwhile if you are full after eating snacks."

"Haha, Brother Su is right."

After a while, there was another knock on the door. Chen Laoer was helping in the kitchen, and at the same time he had to entertain Mr. Zhou's servants. Su Yi was in the lobby, so Su Yi went to open the door in person.

"Brother Zhang, please come in!" Su Yi opened the door and invited Mr. Zhang to come in.

Mr. Zhang did not enter in a hurry, but wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief, and handed the gift box to Su Yi.

"Master Su's home is really easy for me to find. The sun is very hot today. I walked around under the sun several times and finally found the address at an iron shop on your front street."

Su Yi patted Mr. Zhang on the back and motioned for Mr. Zhang to come in.

"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang. Please come in quickly. My wife has prepared cold millet porridge. Let's take a rest first and have something cool to drink."

"Shu'er, Mother Lin, is the millet porridge ready? Give Brother Zhang and Brother Zhou a bowl first." Su Yi shouted towards the kitchen at the top of his lungs.

"Come right away." Lin Shu responded loudly. Lin Shu would never speak so loudly before. After staying with Su Yi for a long time, she began to become free and easy.

Mother Lin brought the porridge and turned around to go back to the kitchen.

Su Yi handed the spoon to Master Zhou and Master Zhang, and at the same time asked Mother Lin:

"Mother Lin, how long will it take for the food to be ready?"

Mr. Zhou put the folding fan on Su Yi's shoulder.

"Hey, Brother Su, don't worry, Mr. Xue's house is farther away, he hasn't arrived yet."

"I know, I just want to ask if you need any help. Mother Lin, please go down first! Tell Shu'er that there is another guest who hasn't arrived. Prepare the cold porridge in advance."

After Mr. Zhang arrived, the three of them drank some cold millet porridge and ate some snacks, and then went to the study room with Su Yi. Su Yi invited Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhang to play chess together while he watched the game.

When Mr. Zhou dropped his white stone, Su Yi pushed the white stone forward one space and said:

"Brother Zhou, you should stay here."

"Hey, Brother Su, you are a true gentleman watching the chess without saying a word, you... what are you talking about!" Mr. Zhang was trembling with anger. He was about to win, but Su Yi suddenly turned the situation around.

"Brother Zhang, don't be angry. It's Su's fault. How about I accompany you to play another round?"

"I'm not very good at playing chess. Brother Zhang, you can play with Brother Su! I'll learn more next to you. I promise to be different from Brother Su and won't talk or disturb you."

Several people put away the chess pieces on the chessboard according to black and white, and started playing again.

The chess game is in full swing in the study, and the kitchen is also busy.

The sauce-flavored pig's trotters are stewed on the stove, the braised pig's trotters are cooked in the pot, the beggar's chicken is placed under the stove, and the fish is steaming in the pot.

Lin Shu and Mother Lin were busy in an orderly manner, and after a while, bursts of aroma came out of the kitchen.

Lin Shu first brought the stewed soy-flavored pig's trotters to the table in the hall. When she was about to go back to the kitchen, she suddenly heard a 'dong dong dong' knock on the door.

Lin Shu shouted to the study:

"Husband, look if Mr. Xue is here!" Su Yi told Lin Shu in advance who were the people coming over. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou have both arrived, and it must be Mr. Xue who knocks on the door.

However, the three of them in the study were having fun playing chess.

"Madam, please help open the door first, and we will come out right away."

Lin Shu wiped her hands on her apron while walking towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, she looked up at a figure and said with a smile:

"Is Master Xue here?"

The person in front of her was speechless. When Lin Shu saw the person clearly, she was stunned.

Lin Shu couldn't figure out why the person knocking on the door was Xiao Yan!

Xiao Yan did not expect that Lin Shu would open the door.

The two looked at each other and were stunned.
